Disgust 

over cattle 

grazing at 

Coes Ford 

• By Tom Doudney 

COWS GRAZING up to 10m 

from the Selwyn/Waikirikiri River 

on public recreation land at Coes 

Ford were quickly moved on by 

the district council the day after a 

Selwyn Huts resident posted photos 

on Facebook. 

Steve Curtis was disappointed 

to spot about 30 to 40 cows in the 

reserve while driving past. 

The reserve had been leased for 

grazing by the district council. 

Mr Curtis took photos which he 

posted to both the district council 

and Environment Canterbury Facebook 

pages. 

He said while the cows weren’t in 

the river, the fence between them 

and the water was only 10m away 

from it. 

“With that amount of cattle in 

there and all their crap so close to 

the river, it wouldn’t matter if they 

were standing in the river or not, 

it’s going to seep in there,” he said.

THE BRIGHT SIDE: Election results may have cut short her mayoralty ambitions and 

brought the curtain down on nine years at the district council table but former deputy 

mayor Sarah Walters isn’t one to be bitter. Reporter Tom Doudney caught up with Mrs 

Walters to find out what might be next for her and get her views on the challenges new 

mayor Sam Broughton will face. •Read more on pages 8 and 9.

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

SELWYN TIMES 

News........................3-7, 11, 14 

SARAH WALTERS put all of her 

political eggs into one basket in the 

local body elections, standing only 

for mayor, and not also for a seat at 

the council table. 

History now shows Sam 

Broughton will lead the district, 

and Walters, a three time councillor 

and the last two of those as 

deputy mayor, disappears from 

the local political scene for this 

term anyway. Today on pages 

8-9, reporter Tom Doudney talks 

to Walters about her thoughts 

on Broughton’s win and how the 

35-year-old first-time mayor will 

handle the big job, issues the district 

faces and, of course, what the 

future holds for herself. 

The wet spring won’t have any 

tangible impact on the looming 

water problem for farmers this 

summer (see page 3). And some 

may not even get access to irrigation, 

experts say.

Tough times loom 


A WET start to spring has 

bought irrigating farmers some 

time but will ultimately make 

no significant difference to 

groundwater levels. 

HydroServices managing 

director Dr Tony 

Davoren said recent rain 

hadn’t been enough to 

change the groundwater 

situation but had helped 

irrigators conserve water. 

“We have been getting 

enough rain in that latter part 

of September and early part of 

October to not have to irrigate, 

so we are in a way conserving 

some groundwater for later in 

the season really, so we haven’t 

had to start really early,” Dr 

Davoren said. 

However, the low groundwater 

levels would still mean there 

would be farmers with no access 

to irrigation this season. 

Greendale farmer 

Earl Worsfold said low 

groundwater levels would 

mean being restricted 

to dryland farming this 

season. This would halve 

his wheat crop and potential 

income, while his 

operating costs would remain 

almost the same, making for a 

challenging year ahead. 

The lack of irrigation had 

meant “making some early 

decisions with the cropping 

rotations and taking some crops 

out of the mix for the spring options 

because there is no point 

in putting in something that’s 

not going to grow,” he said. 

“It’s back to basics I suppose 

and just trying to minimise 

costs. Personally, I’m probably 

going to do a little bit of off-farm 

work and maybe just drive a 

tractor for a contractor just to 

sort of make ends meat.” 

Low commodity prices were 

also putting the squeeze on 

farmers, Mr Worsfold said. 

Dr Davoren said among the 

most affected farmers in Selwyn 

would be the roughly 130 on 

adaptive management water 

consents, meaning they were 

granted when groundwater 

zones were considered fully allocated 

and holders could only 

take water when levels were 

high. 

“Almost all of those adaptive 

management consents have zero 

water this summer,” he said. 

For other farmers things were 

looking a bit less dire. 

“We have gone a month without 

having to really irrigate,” Dr 

Davoren said. 

“That’s really valuable, we 

are a month into the growing 

season now without having to 

turn those taps on so to speak. 

“If we can go another two 

or three weeks with really low 

demand for irrigation, then 

we are a quarter to a third of 

the way through the growing 

season.” 

STARTING OVER: Wednesday was the 

first day at a new campus for 165 Lincoln 

Primary School pupils in years 0-2, along 

with 10 teachers and support staff. While 

everyone did start the new term on the 

Monday, these children went on field trips 

to Ferrymead and the Antarctic Centre. 

While the children were on these outings, 

some of their teachers along with parents 

and other staff were working hard to 

unpack at the newly established junior 

campus site at 24 Edwards St. The need to 

relocate to the site, a former Environment 

Canterbury office owned by the district 

council, has been driven by the school’s 

growing roll which has reached 579.

TREE HITS CAR 

A Rolleston woman was taken to 

Christchurch Hospital with serious 

injuries yesterday after her car was 

hit by a tree which fell over in strong 

wind. The woman was travelling 

on State Highway 1, near the Waterholes 

Rd intersection, when the 

accident happened at about 7.20am. 

The driver of another car involved in 

the accident was uninjured but their 

car received minor damage. Investigations 

to determine all the details 

of the crash were continuing. 

MAIL THEFTS 

A woman accused of committing a 

spate of rural mail thefts has been 

banned from going to Selwyn or 

Waimakariri while she is on bail on 

remand. Anna Leigh Hunter, 34, 

was remanded without plea until 

November 1 at the Christchurch 

District Court yesterday. Police are 

considering whether to lay another 

charge. Police have recovered most 

of the missing mail, which they say 

Hunter stole from across Canterbury.

It was a blast from the past when Rolleston 

celebrated its 150th anniversary with a special show 

on Saturday. The show, which was part of a series of 

events over the weekend, included historic working 

displays such as shearing, log loading, saw milling 

and tractor pulling; locomotives on display; vintage 

and classic cars and other machinery; along with 

other entertainment. The first annual CultureFest, 

celebrating Selwyn’s diverse cultures was also held 

in conjunction with the show at the same location 

on the corner of Jones Rd and Hoskyns Rd. About 

10,000 people are estimated to have joined in the 

celebrations.

Piping ‘rock star’ for games 

THE HORORATA Highland 

Games chieftain Kyle Warren is 

somewhat of a piping rock star. 

Born in Scotland, Mr Warren 

immigrated to Australia at the end 

of 2014. 

He has released 

two piping albums 

with KRL records 

and also toured 

world-wide with the 

Red Hot Chilli Pipers 

performing their 

unique mix of bagpipes 

and rock music – ‘Bagrock’. 

Mr Warren (above) more recently 

recorded pipes on the Disney Pixar 

Oscar winning movie Brave. 

He said he was looking forward to 

his role at Hororata. 

“I have been to many Highland 

Games around the world and am 

Disgust over cattle grazing at Coes Ford 

•From page 1 

“The Selwyn itself, just down 

from Coes Ford, has been a disgusting 

looking green river for a 

long time and just to add to the 

problem with cattle only a few 

metres away, I just thought it was 

disgusting.” 

Mr Curtis said the incident 

was particularly poor with the 

focus which had been on the 

state of the river in recent times 

honoured to have been invited to be 

chieftain at Hororata,” he said. 

Mr Warren has made a career out 

of piping and is a sort after piping 

tutor around the world; currently 

teaching at the Scotch College Melbourne. 

While pipe major of the National 

Youth Pipe Band of Scotland, he 

performed with some of the biggest 

names in traditional music. 

This year, the Hororata Highland 

Games has introduced a new pipe 

band competition. The quartet band 

competition which will see groups 

of four musicians with bagpipes 

and other acoustic instruments 

perform. 

Mr Warren will be judging this, 

which will allow people to see a 

different side to the traditional pipe 

band competitions. 

and because at other times 

people often used the area where 

the cows were fenced in for 

picnicking. 

ECan principle resource management 

adviser Richard Purdon 

said grazing cows on the river’s 

edge would require a resource 

consent on the land upstream 

of Coes Ford and downstream 

it would be a prohibited activity 

for which no consent could be

granted. 

“We are very pleased that the 

Selwyn District Council acted 

so promptly to remove the cows 

immediately and deal with the 

lease to prevent this from occurring 

again and have indicated 

this to them,” Mr Purdon said. 

Last week cows were 

filmed grazing on ECan land 

leased by the New Zealand 

Transport Agency on the edge 

of the Otukaikino Creek in 

Christchurch. ECan said the 

land had been accessed by a 

farmer without NZTA’s consent. 

The district council did not 

respond to questions from the 

Selwyn Times.

In Brief 

CORRECTION 

In last week’s election coverage, 

the Selwyn Times incorrectly 

referred to Rosalie Snoyink as 

a candidate for Environment 

Canterbury’s Mid Canterbury 

constituency. In fact the candidate 

was Nicky Snoyink. The 

Selwyn Times apologises for the 

error. 

GARDEN WASTE 

Malvern and Ellesmere residents 

will have the opportunity 

to dispose of garden waste at 

community garden waste days 

to be held in their areas over 

the next few weeks. The first 

day is at Hawkins Pit, on Cullens 

Rd, on October 29, 10am- 

4pm. The Ellesmere day is on 

November 19, 10am-4pm, at 

Cemetery Pit, on Southbridge 

Leeston Rd, between 10am and 

4pm. It costs $5 per car, $10 per 

ute or single axle trailer or $15 

per twin axle trailer to dispose 

of garden waste at these days. 

Payment is cash only, with 

proceeds from the Malvern day 

donated to the Malvern Lions 

Club and proceeds from the 

Ellesmere day to the Ellesmere 

Heritage Park. General rubbish, 

soil, flax, cabbage tree leaves, 

trees or branches over 10cm in 

diameter can’t be disposed of 

through this service. 

TRULY LOCAL & PROUD OF IT 

Its an exciting time to be part of the fabric of 

Rolleston and the wider Canterbury and Selwyn 

regions. We are growing and the 150th 

Birthday celebrations this past weekend were 

testament to the strength and confidence that 

exists here and now. 

Brenna Sincock Hearing is proud to be part of 

this community and we couldn’t have asked 

for a more beautiful day to come out to the 

celebrations. Thank you to all the people who 

came and had a chat to us at our stand and 

made us feel so welcome. 

It was a busy weekend for Brenna Sincock 

Hearing! The Canterbury Home Show at Horncastle 

Arena was a huge success, as was the 

Ellesmere A&P Show. “My point of difference 

in audiology and hearing health is that I bring 

all the experience of the bigger companies, but 

I take a more personal approach,” says Brenna. 

“One can’t take a “cookie cutter” approach to 

hearing, it requires empathy and taking considerable 

time listening to customers for them to 

get the most out of their hearing aids.” “Going 

to these local shows and events is important 

to me. I value the conversations and being 

able to share and promote not only my business, 

but my passion for hearing well and the 

unmeasurable impact this can have on quality 

of life.” 

Brenna Sincock Hearing is Rolleston’s only 

full-time and locally owned hearing aid clinic. 

With the commitment to the wider area, Brenna 

does regular clinics in Leeston, Darfield and 

now Lincoln. Determined to provide a one stop 

shop for all audiology needs. Her personal approach 

and her vast experience in the profession 

make her the audiologist of choice in the 

area. “I have been thrilled with the number of 

people who have “switched” and chosen to 

LOVE YOUR HEARING

Faye Leathwick AKA HearOine 

have me as their personal audiologist,” says 

Brenna. “It’s a vote of confidence from locals 

and confirmation that Rolleston needed my 

expertise.”

AFTER MORE than a year 

without racing, the fast cars and 

their fans are finally set to return 

to Leeston’s Ellesmere Speedway. 

The track’s grand reopening 

and first meeting of the season 

will held be on Sunday. 

The raceway’s redevelopment 

has taken more than a year and 

cost about $200,000 – although 

that figure would be much higher 

if weren’t for the commitment of 

the raceway’s managing committee 

and the wider community. 

Ellesmere Speedway promotions 

secretary Bridget Roxburgh 

said about 11 committee members 

had spent probably more 

than 1000 hours working on the 

track every Sunday since work 

began in June last year. 

“All the hours were volunteer, 

our committee and community 

have been really generous with 

providing equipment and we 

have got engineers and builders 

on our committee,” she said. 

She estimated that if it weren’t 

for the volunteer work and community 

assistance, the redevelopment 

would have cost between $1 

million and $1.5 million. 

BEHIND THE WHEEL: Jaxon

NEW AND IMPROVED: Ellesmere

The track, which was built in 

1981, has had a concrete wall,

control tower put in, and the

Mrs Roxburgh said the redevelopment 

would provide better 

views for spectators and allow 

the track to comply with new 

health and safety standards. 

Mrs Roxburgh said being unable 

to use the track for racing 

last season had been financially 

difficult and the length of its closure 

was not originally planned. 

“Half of the concrete 

partitions were donated 

from the Timaru speedway 

when they closed down, which 

gave us the motivation to start,” 

she said. 

“We were going to do half, 

then race, and then do half the 

next off season but we decided 

to keep going because we got 

funding from the New Zealand 

Community Trust.” 

The meeting on Sunday will 

include TQs, V8 modifieds, 

midget sprintcars, quarter 

midgets, six-cylinder, six-shooter, 

motocross, production saloons 

and modified sprints. 

Club patron Shirley Burt will 

be cutting the ribbon to mark the 

reopening.

council. She spoke to 

Tom Doudney about 

the election, her 

thoughts on new mayor 

Sam Broughton and 

the achievement she is 

most proud of 

How did you feel when you 

found out the election result? 

My instant feeling when I 

got told was ‘oh my god, I have 

let people down’ because I had 

so many wonderful messages 

of support and I know that 

people were really backing me 

to be there. I was ready for a 

change and whether it was up 

or whether it was out I left that 

up to the people of Selwyn to 

decide and they have decided, 

so I’m not going to be bitter or 

anything about it. 

How do you think Sam 

Broughton will go as mayor? 

I think he will bring a very 

different style, it will definitely 

be his own style because that’s 

BOWING OUT: For the first time in nine years, Sarah 

Walters won’t be involved in decision-making at the 

district council table. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

the kind of guy Sam is and I 

think he will do a good job. 

How would you describe 

his style? 

Pretty casual and relaxed. 

He is a very personable and 

relaxed person, I think people 

will enjoy that element of his 

mayoralty. I suppose there 

may be some that find him too 

casual for what they expect the 

role to be but that is up to Sam 

– he has got the job and he will 

make it his own. 

What sort of challenges 

do you think he will face as 

a new mayor leading a new 

council? 

I think he has got quite a 

steep learning curve because 

there are a lot of aspects of 

the role that he hasn’t been involved 

in to date. I don’t think 

it will be an issue for him but 

he will have a lot to learn. 

What do you see as some of 

the big issues that the 

new council needs to get on 

top of? 

The council has been really 

good at doing the infrastructure 

side of things but we 

haven’t been so good at creating 

the social infrastructure 

and building the community 

and it’s not just a council role 

but it is a council role to make 

sure that it happens. 

So what’s next for Sarah 

Walters? 

My daughters have said I 

can have a week’s gardening 

leave and then I have got to 

find a job to keep them in 

the style they have become 

accustomed to. As to what the 

next role is I don’t have anything 

in particular in mind. I 

have enjoyed being Selwyn’s 

transport portfolio holder for 

the last three years and I have 

a strong interest in transportrelated 

issues so if there was 

something in that sphere that 

would be great. So I hope to be 

a bit fussy about what I do but 

in the end it might just come 

down to putting food on the 

table.

Sarah Walters 

deputy mayor 

Maronan Road, Tinwald, Ashburton 

What about politics? 

I’ve never been particularly 

drawn to central government 

politics. I know that’s where 

the big decisions are made but 

it just seems so much more 

brutal and so much harder to 

make a difference. 

Before you started on council, 

what were you doing? 

I was working part-time as 

an administration assistant. 

How did you first get on 

to council without having a 

public profile at the time? 

I stood for the council in 

2007 and it took me a long 

time to decide that I had 

something worthwhile to offer. 

But I have got great kids, they 

were seven and nine at the 

time, and I was worried about 

the decisions that would be 

made for their future and I 

only had to look around and 

see we had so many fantastic 

kids in our district and I 

wanted to be there as a voice 

for their futures. So that was 

my original motivation and I 

was quite nervous because I 

thought ‘well, I’m nothing special’ 

but in the end I decided 

that there was nobody there 

like me and that was the best 

thing I could bring. 

My first foray was sending 

an email to the then Selwyn

STEPPING UP: Speaking at public events and openings 

were part of Sarah Walters’ role as deputy mayor. 

Times reporter which said 

“campaign on a bike? She 

must be mad” and that was my 

subject line and then I went on 

in the email “well, probably, 

but I’m going to do it anyway.” 

The reporter came and did an 

interview and that went into 

the paper and I did get out on 

my bike. 

Out of all the things you 

have had a hand in in your 

nine years on council, is there 

anything in particular you 

are quite proud of? 

I know that one thing 

wouldn’t have happened 

without me, although it 

obviously wasn’t just me, was 

the building of the Selwyn 

Aquatic Centre and getting 

the improvements to district 

pools that came out of getting 

the Selwyn Aquatic Strategy 

through. It was leading up to 

the 2010 election and there 

was a lot of controversy, which 

obviously local papers pick 

up on and make a bigger deal 

than it really is, and there was 

an unwillingness from people 

around the council table to 

step up and take on that role. 

They needed someone to take 

on the sports and recreation 

portfolio which meant they 

were taking on the aquatic 

centre and I took on that role 

and in doing that I thought 

‘this is important enough for

me to put my job on the line.’ 

Although I’m not a swimmer 

myself I did recognise 

what having the Selwyn 

Aquatic Centre would bring 

to the community and fortunately 

the Selwyn community 

rewarded me for that and I 

got reelected on a campaign 

budget of $87. No matter 

where my future life goes I 

have always thought I can be 

quietly proud of that. 

Anything you’d like to say 

to sign off, Sarah? 

As a person who is not 

going to have a public profile 

any more, one of the really 

big things for me has been 

the support I have got from 

people and I think it has 

helped me be in a good head 

space for stepping out of the 

council as well because I had 

so many messages of support 

and phone calls leading up the 

election and post the election. 

I’m glad for what I have been 

able to achieve, I’m sad about 

what I am not going to be able 

to achieve in the future but 

I’m okay with where things 

are at because of the support 

I have had from my family. It 

has made a big difference just 

having that support because I 

think I probably would have 

been a bit of a mess otherwise.

News 

MidlandPort officially opened 

LYTTELTON PORT of 

Christchurch celebrated its 

new ‘inland port’ at Rolleston 

with an official opening 

ceremony on Friday. 

Selwyn MP Amy Adams 

cut the ribbon at the opening 

of MidlandPort, which began 

operating in June. 

The facility was built to handle 

container freight travelling 

between Lyttelton and other 

South Island locations and to 

future-proof the port company’s 

transport connections 

for Canterbury’s trade growth. 

It is one of two inland ports 

in Rolleston, with the Port 

of Tauranga having opened 

MetroPort in the Izone business 

park last year. 

LPC chairman Trevor Burt 

said MidlandPort saved a journey 

to Lyttelton for customers 

working with the eight shipping 

services and 14 shipping 

lines that visited the port. 

“It is strategically positioned 

at the intersection of major 

transport routes, with rail 

access to all points west and 

south of Rolleston,” Mr Burt 

said. 

“It also services the increasing 

productivity from the 

Canterbury Plains. Irrigation 

is boosting exports such as dry 

and refrigerated dairy, frozen 

meat and vegetables. 

“In central Canterbury, 

60,000 hectares of mostly 

dryland farms will be transformed 

by the Central Plains 

Irrigation Scheme. That will 

increase agricultural output by 

about $264 million a year.” 

Mr Burt said the facility was 

also improving travel time for 

freight transport and helping 

reduce road congestion. 

“Each round trip rail service 

takes up to 80 truck trips off 

our roads. This is a positive 

step as our city focuses on improving 

transport efficiency,” 

he said. 

“Already we have welcomed 

major customers such as 

Westland Milk Products and 

The Warehouse on board. We 

are managing hundreds of 

containers here every week 

and volumes have tripled since 

we opened.” 

MidlandPort was a vital part 

of LPC’s planning to be ready 

for a forecast 50 per cent increase 

in exports and imports 

in the next nine years. 

“As trade grows so do the 

size of the cargo vessels. 

We must be ready to 

accommodate bigger ships 

that will carry more cargo,” 

DOING THE HONOURS: Amy Adams speaks at the opening 

of MidlandPort on Friday, while Mayor Sam Broughton 

(below left) talks to LPC chief executive Peter Davie.

Mr Burt said. 

“We have had a 50 per 

cent increase in container 

volumes in the last five years. 

We handle in excess of half 

the South Island’s container 

volume, including more than 

70 per cent of imports.”

HAVE YOUR SAY: Email us your views on chlorination and businesses 

operating without consent –tom.doudney@starmedia.kiwi 

Cost of safe drinking water 

Hororata- 

Acheron 

water supply 

committee 

chairman Gavin 

King writes 

about the 

benefits of chlorinating 

water 

To chlorinate or not to 

chlorinate our water supplies. 

When asking people where 

their water comes from, sometimes 

the answer is “out of the 

tap.” It’s got to get in the tap 

before it comes out. 

I have been involved with the 

Hororata-Acheron water supply 

for many years, both as a user of 

the water and, since 1986, on the 

water supply committee and, in 

recent years, chairman. 

The Hororata-Acheron water 

supply delivers water to a wide 

area from the Acheron River, 

east of Lake Coleridge, to the 

Rakaia River and down to 

Ardlui Rd and to the true right 

of the Selwyn River. We supply 

Terrace Downs and Hororata 

Village. 

It was built in 1981/82 to 

replace ageing water races and 

deliver water to farms and rural 

houses and villages. 

In those days, the Government 

subsidised the build. Off-farm 

build cost was paid by the Government 

and users – 50/50. Also 

on-farm build cost was paid 50 

per cent by the Government and 

50 per cent by farmers. Today 

you would not get a cent from 

the Government. The people at 

the time were wise, proceeding 

with the build when they did. 

Initially, the water supply was 

chlorinated and this was done 

for health reasons, mainly to kill 

any E. coli and bad bacteria that 

might have been floating around 

in the water. Over the early 

years, people complained about 

the chlorine taste and also some 

farmers said livestock would not 

drink it. My opinion is livestock 

drink when they are thirsty, 

chlorine or no chlorine. 

In the late 1980s, the squeaky 

wheel got the better of the committee 

and we installed UV filter 

treatment in the water supply 

and turned the chlorinators off. 

That worked well, we hardly ever 

tested the water – people used 

the water and did not complain. 

The livestock were happy, they 

complained when there was no 

water. 

The Hororata-Acheron water 

supply is administered by the 

district council. Since about 

2012, the district council has 

been testing the water regularly 

for E. coli. Occasionally E. coli 

was found and then a boil water 

notice would be sent out to 

everyone at a cost of $1800 each 

time. 

This happened several times. 

Because of the cost of boil water 

notices and the possibility of 

people becoming ill, we have 

installed new chlorinators. Since 

installing chlorinators we have 

not had a positive E. coli reading. 

What we are saving on the 

boil water notices has paid for 

the chlorinators, the water tastes 

good and the livestock drink it 

without any complaint. 

It would be good to not add 

anything to the water, but 

the reality is there is a risk of 

something happening like in 

Havelock North recently. We 

need to keep our water drinkable 

with no risk of illness. We owe 

this to our ratepayers and the 

public. The chlorinators are here 

to stay. Hororata-Acheron water 

is excellent and very drinkable. 

Hamptons Rd residents 

Rod and Glenys Gard’ner 

respond to the recent 

granting of resource 

consent to Paul’s 

Excavation Services for 

a contractors’ yard on 

Leadleys Rd (pictured) after 

the company had operated 

at the site for several years 

without consent 

As someone who has resided 

in the Selwyn district for the past 

45 years, I am dismayed at the 

decision of the district council 

in granting permission for this 

contractor to undertake his 

activities. 

This gripe is not against Mr 

Paul but the district council, who 

have displayed as much backbone 

as a jellyfish in back tracking 

with this consent. 

They couldn’t even make the 

decision themselves but had to 

hide behind an independent 

commissioner to do their job for 

them. 

As residents, we cannot subdivide 

our property, even if we 

wanted to. Yet it seems that it is 

possible to start up an industrial 

activity on rural land and then, 

over time, it will be acceptable. 

Already recently we have seen 

a transport business operating 

from a property in the area; 

another, a drainlayer who 

has commenced operations out 

of another property, certainly 

spread over more than 4000 sq 

m; and now we have a young guy 

who wants to set up a motocross 

track. 

I feel for the residents of Leadleys 

Rd. Seems there is one rule 

for the industry in Selwyn and 

another for the residents. 

I would like the district council 

to respond and to outline what 

protection rural landowners have 

from the spread of these types of 

activity.

Rapid growth in Rolleston 

LAST WEEKEND it was great 

to be involved in the Rolleston 

150 th celebrations and to see 

the way the community got 

involved and enjoyed the 

various activities that took 

place. 

Rolleston’s origins date back 

to 1866 when the Christchurch 

to Rolleston railway line was 

opened as part of the Great 

Southern Railway, which would 

link Christchurch with Rakaia 

and then eventually Timaru and 

Dunedin. 

By the early 1900s, as well 

as a railway station, Rolleston 

boasted a hotel, a school and 

a blacksmith’s shop with 

public saleyards to service the 

population of under 100. 

Fast forward to today and 

Rolleston’s population has 

grown rapidly during the past 

15 years from 1974 in 2001 to 

9555 at the 2013 census. The 

current estimate is around 

14,000. 

This sudden expansion, 

particularly with a lot of 

families with school-aged 

children moving into the area, 

has meant significant recent 

investment by the Government 

in new schools. 

When I became the local MP 

in 2008, Rolleston School was 

Amy Adams 

Selwyn MP 

the only primary school. Now 

Rolleston’s fifth primary school, 

Lemonwood Grove School, is 

preparing to open in February, 

as is Rolleston’s first secondary 

school, Rolleston College. 

Rolleston’s growth in recent 

times has given it the advantage 

of being able to be one of the 

first ‘fully-fibred’ towns (along 

with Lincoln) in New Zealand 

where all businesses, schools 

and residents have access to 

ultra-fast broadband. 

To help keep up with the 

demand for affordable housing 

and land in Selwyn, especially 

in Rolleston, the Government 

signed a housing accord with the 

district council in December last 

year. 

The accord allows the district 

council to recommend special 

housing areas to the Minister 

for Building and Housing and 

allow these developments to 

be fast-tracked through the 

consenting process to provide 

additional housing supply. 

As well as being in demand 

for residential housing, 

Rolleston is fast becoming 

an important industrial and 

logistics hub for the wider 

region and is ideally located to 

fulfil this role. 

Developments such as i-Zone, 

I-Port, Midland Port and 

MetroPort are all contributing 

to Rolleston’s rapid growth 

as a sought after location for 

businesses in many sectors. 

This only looks set to 

continue as the Central Plains 

Water scheme will transform 

local agricultural productivity 

and Rolleston will be in an 

ideal position to cater for the 

resulting increase in freight 

requirements, given its strategic 

position next to the railway and 

State Highway 1. 

Rolleston is certainly coming 

of age and fulfilling the 

potential that the early pioneers 

believed it had.

over 2000 animals in their care 

last year as well finding out various 

ways that you can donate and

The SPCA needs our support. 

There are various ways to get

Pipe organ 

will be 

preserved 

A PIPE organ 

at Prebbleton’s 

All Saints 

Church 

has been 

recognised for 

its heritage 

value. 

The listing on the New Zealand 

Organ Preservation Trust’s register 

of historic pipe organs recognises 

it as an instrument of importance 

(category 1) to national heritage 

and one deserving careful preservation 

for the benefit of future 

generations. It is one of only two 

of its kind in New Zealand and 

the other one has been extensively 

modified. 

Built by Wadsworth Bros in 

England in 1898, the organ was installed 

in 1907 in the newly rebuilt 

church following a fire which had 

completely destroyed the building 

and its contents. 

Church warden Graham Carpenter 

said the local congregation 

felt privileged to have such a 

beautiful organ in the church for 

their services.

Endangered birds in focus 

A FLOCK of most unusual 

birds has landed on the Selwyn 

Aquatic Centre grounds in 

Rolleston bringing a special 

message. 

The travelling display of handmade 

birds, created by hundreds 

of Canterbury schoolchildren, 

has been flying around Canterbury 

since mid-September and 

will stay at the aquatic centre for 

two to three weeks. 

The Flock is a project which 

has been organised by the 

charity BRaid (Braided River 

Aid) to increase awareness of 

endangered birds that use Canterbury’s 

rivers for breeding. 

“Real braided river birds raise 

their chicks on riverbeds from 

early spring until mid summer,” 

BRaid manager Sonny Whitelaw 

said. 

“Some species only breed on 

Canterbury rivers and most are 

having less and less success.” 

The artistic display was about 

educating people about these 

visiting rare and precious birds 

and how they could play a part 

in their long-term survival. 

“Braided rivercare groups put in 

huge voluntary hours managing 

hundreds of predator traps along 

riverbanks, but more knowledge 

in the community at large also 

DROPPING BY: The Flock was installed at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre yesterday. 

helps,” Ms Whitelaw said. 

“Birds are nesting on stony 

open riverbed areas until February. 

Help the next generation of 

these unique birds survive by 

keeping four-wheel-drives and 

dogs away and moving away 

yourself if you notice you are 

disturbing birds.” 

The Department of Conservation 

and many community 

groups, schools and businesses 

are supporting the project, 

including Resene Paints. 

The Flock has already popped 

up outside Rangiora Library, 

SELWYN TIMES 

at Christchurch Airport, the 

Methven iSite, Salmon Tales 

Cafe in Rakaia, and as far north 

as Kaikoura. ‘Flash Flocks’ will 

continue to appear around Canterbury 

into next year with the 

birds’ travels being tracked on 

social media.

NEW GROWTH: Weedons celebrated its 145th 

anniversary with a tree planting last week. The 

school was opened in October, 1871. At the 

planting, pupils shared their thoughts on what 

the school would have been like 145 years ago. 

Families with a long association with the school 

shared in the morning activities. Anniversary 

celebrations will continue with a twilight fair to be 

held on December 2. 

Pictured at the planting are: (Back row, from

grand opening 

ellesmere speedway 

The Speedway season fires into action all around the country at this time of the year but at Ellesmere Speedway it will 

be an extra special occasion at their grand opening on 23rd October 2016 as they showcase the newest motorsport 

facility in New Zealand. Ellesmere Speedway embarked on a major upgrade project on 7th June 2015, which initially 

was intended for the off season, only to be extended for a full year to complete the work. The decision was not taken 

lightly but is the correct one given the scale being undertaken. Many eyes were watching this ambitious project as 

this small club forged ahead with positivity in securing this race facility in the Selwyn District for the future. By future 

proofing the venue like we have been we will ensure that it will be a great community asset for many years to come. 

This will become one of Selwyn’s premier sporting venues. 

Affectionately called the “Paddock Racers” as through my younger days I followed them around from farm to farm as 

the search continued for a small piece of land for the ‘Good Old Boys’ of “Hazzard County” to stay off the streets and 

have some fun. History is documented where those terms came about when in 1981 the Ellesmere club moved to its 

current permanent site. Over the years there has been many improvements made to the facility but only the original 

construction of the track could compare to this upgrade, which has many of the original crew from when the first track 

was built. 

There has been many a great day had at Ellesmere with some meetings being the first in the country, (caravan derby) 

and others outshining the performances of some well-established tracks (Pacific Sprint Car/Modified series). They have 

always been great supporters of both the Ruapuna (formerly Templeton Speedway) and Woodford Glen and many great 

names from around the country have raced on the track. 

While it had always been envisaged that one day Ellesmere may have a concrete wall replacing the catch ditch, 

President Rob Roxburgh admitted that being donated some of the concrete sections and able to purchase the original 

shutters from the defunct Timaru Speedway, really gave this project a major kick start both financially but it also gave us 

the motivation to start this project, which had been a dream for many years. Ellesmere had a good relationship with the 

Timaru club back in the South Island Federation days and actually ran a fund raising meeting for them when they lost 

their track in a severe flood of the area decades ago, so they could rebuild. They struggled with costly consent issues 

for years trying to find a site that suited everyone, before giving it all away. A feature fans all around the country need 

to appreciate. Holding on to a racing facility may well be easier than finding a new site like the one Ellesmere had the 

good fortune to secure back in 1981 on Domain Board Reserve Land. 

It’s a costly venture but the club had been very frugal in accumulating some funds as well as obtaining grants from Pub 

Charities, New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) and the Ellesmere reserves board, to help out. Many local businesses 

have supported this project and the phenomenal support from a small, hard core group of members who have been 

very loyal with their support and dedication by volunteering 99% of the labour which was hundreds of hours of time 

that was required to complete the new stadium A massive thanks are owed to the small team of volunteers. Initially 

work was planned over the weekends but this was going to take too long and was subject to some weather conditions. 

Some of the team were on hand full time doing up to three concrete pours per week this progressed to many digger 

hours to install the embankment area among other tasks. They have worked tirelessly to have the track opened for 

business on 23rd October 2016. Ambitious, possibly crazy, but no shortcuts are being made, everything has been 

completed to the highest standard and looks amazing. 

The track graded was back, fence pulled down, catch ditch filled, outer perimeter levelled, concrete wall constructed, 

new safety catchment fence and gates, race lights and raised car park embankment have been built around the 

complete track the upgrade wouldn’t be complete without the track being resurfaced and re profiled, as well as new 

control tower facility. 

Extra moulds were made and used as the concrete sections were placed around the track, tied in and other panels 

poured in place. Railway irons have been driven in the ground with PVC pipe tied next to them in 200 litre drums 

filled with concrete to support the new safety fence poles. These drums and concrete fence have been tied back down 

to old concrete power poles before they are covered with embankment material. The progress has been identified by 

stages with many photos and many people from all over New Zealand have followed our journey and construction 

process on the clubs Facebook page and web site as well as the few shown here. 

Ellesmere is a member of the CTRA (Circle Racing Track Association) race group which suits the clubs venue and 

community values. Affordable but with the all-important safety features for competitors and spectators alike. It’s 

a friendly place and Ellesmere relies on the support of some of the SNZ classes as well as some bike ATV and MX 

competitors throughout its season. Speedway heritage that comes the Selwyn area and we are thrilled to be writing 

the next few chapters of that history.” 

It is a brand new facility with the latest in safety regulations which exceed Speedway New Zealand requirements, 

safety has become a very important factor in our sport and with the implementation upgrade not only will we have 

the newest Speedway track but we will be one of the safest tracks around New Zealand. 

Variety is something Ellesmere will continue to offer with invited classes supporting its regular car/ bike events. 

Promoted events for the 2016/17 season will cater for ‘premier’ classes like Sprintcars, V8 Modifieds, Super Saloons 

and Midgets, already securing two New Zealand Titles and a round of the Southern Midget Series, but we won’t be 

forgetting the classes that have been the backbone of Ellesmere Speedways programme for the over past thirty years. 

Of course the track will be available for private and corporate hire as well as training which will continue to see the 

facility well used. Roll on 23rd October 2016, (rain date 24th October). 

Classes conformed for the opening meeting include: Sprintcars, V8 Modifieds, Midgets, ¼ Midgets, Moto X, TQ’s, 

Production Saloons, Six Cylinder Sprints and Six Shooters, as well as Modified Sprints. You can follow the club on 

Facebook or on their webpage www.ellesmerespeedway.co.nz to stay up to date with what is happening.

ON THE WATER: Sam Bosworth has been named as a coxswain in the New Zealand elite 

summer rowing squad. 

Lincoln coxswain in national team 

LINCOLN University’s newly 

named Sportsperson of the 

Year, Sam Bosworth, is looking 

forward to a busy summer after 

moving into the top level of his 

sport. 

He has been named as a 

coxswain in the New Zealand 

elite summer rowing squad and 

hopes to go on from there to 

claim selection for next year’s 

world championship campaigns 

at the helm of the men’s eight. 

Bosworth, from Waipara, 

claimed the Lincoln award last 

month after coxing the men’s 

under-23 four to victory in 

the world championships in 

Rotterdam, which he calls the 

highlight of his sporting career 

so far. 

It followed a slew of silvers with 

different crews in previous years. 

The globe-trotting sportsman 

is finishing his degree in 

environmental planning and 

then it’s onto summer camp in 

Cambridge from October until 

February with the elite rowers. 

He is on a sports scholarship 

and prime minister’s scholarship 

and is grateful to a bevy of 

sponsors and supporters who 

have helped him get to this stage 

in his career, as well as previous 

coaches who have mentored him 

over the years and the many 

athletes he has coxed. 

He started the sport while at 

school at Christ’s College and 

has moved from coxing to the 

coaching boat. 

Bosworth said while steering 

might be an obvious part of the 

job, so was strategy and man– 

management. They were the 

aspects he enjoyed the most. 

There were also the traditional 

roles of bringing out the oars and 

doing odd-jobs, but he “loves the 

racing” so it was all worthwhile.

THE ROOSTER bowling 

competition started in 1905, 

with a trophy presented by R. 

Louden, a bank manager in 

Leeston. 

The trophy is a sterling silver 

rooster on black background 

which, in 1994, was valued at 

$1400. 

Originally played between 

Leeston, Dunsandel and Southbridge, 

in 1917 the Ellesmere 

Men’s Bowling Association took 

the trophy over. Then in the 

1950s, Lincoln joined followed 

by other clubs. 

Although the men’s and 

ladies’ competitions are now 

amalgamated into one association, 

called Ellesmere Bowls Sub 

Centre, The Rooster remains a 

men-only competition. 

It is always tightly fought 

and often comes down to the 

last round for a winner to be 

declared. 

Results after two rounds in 

The Rooster have Dunsandel and 

Lincoln 3 tied on 10 points with 

Lincoln 4 and Tai Tapu close 

behind on eight points.

Tennis club celebrates 130 years 

ONE OF the oldest tennis clubs 

in the country will celebrate its 

130th jubilee this weekend. 

The Kirwee Tennis Club was 

formed on October 1, 1886. 

It will also celebrate 50 years 

since the beginning of annual 

home and away matches 

between Kirwee and the West 

Coast’s Paroa Tennis Club. 

The club, which currently 

has 31 seniors and 65 juniors, 

will begin its celebrations with 

drinks at the pavilion on Friday, 

from 7.30pm. 

This will be followed on Saturday 

with social tennis at 1pm 

and an exhibition doubles match 

at 3pm. The doubles match is 

expected to involve two former 

Davis Cup players, although 

names are yet to be confirmed, 

playing with two club members. 

A jubilee dinner will be held, 

also on Saturday, from 6.30pm 

at the Kirwee Community Hall. 

The guest speaker will be former 

Detective Inspector John Doyle 

who was the first New Zealand 

police officer to be based in 

China and played tennis for 

Paroa against Kirwee. 

A plaque marking the jubilee 

will also be unveiled by the 

club’s oldest male member, while 

the jubilee cake will be cut by 

the oldest female member. 

Celebrations will conclude 

with the annual match between 

Kirwee and Paroa on Sunday, 

starting with morning tea at 

10.30am. 

The first two tennis courts 

at Kirwee were formed in the 

early days of the club at Kirwee 

Domain, with the domain board 

and the fledgling club each donating 

five pounds. 

The club moved to its present 

location in the domain in 1936 

with the opening of two new 

courts and a pavilion. Over the 

years, a further four courts have 

been added. 

All six courts were resurfaced 

after the earthquakes caused 

cracking at a cost of $92,000. 

During the 1960s, the club enjoyed 

its most successful period 

in the Malvern competition, 

when two of its teams finished 

first and second in the Malvern 

A grade competition. 

The exchange matches with 

Paroa began in 1966 as a result 

of the relationship built between 

Paroa player Richie Gibbens and 

Kirwee player Murray Wilson 

during the many meetings they 

had when Malvern and West 

Coast clashed in representative 

tennis. 

The club has won the A 

grade tennis cup 33 times since 

competitions began in 1926. 

The modern Kirwee Gold and 

Kirwee Black teams have been 

adding to that total. 

Kirwee has always had strong 

representation at Malvern 

level playing for the Browning 

Shield, vied for by teams from 

North Canterbury, Hurunui, 

Ellesmere, Banks Peninsula, 

Mid-Canterbury, West Coast 

and Malvern. 

Club member Malcolm Begg 

THEN AND 

NOW: The 

Kirwee Tennis 

Club facilities in 

1936 and as they 

are today. 

said Kirwee was still one of the 

strongest in Malvern and had 

hosted a number of Browning 

Shield representative matches 

over the years.

Bowling first, pace bowlers 

Sam Haselwood and Kane Mayerhoof 

dismissed three of Oxford’s 

top four batsmen for single 

figures. 

However, it was an experienced 

campaigner at the other end 

doing the damage for the visitors. 

Canterbury and former Black 

Cap Peter Fulton was a calming 

presence as others fell around 

him, top scoring with 40 runs 

which included five boundaries. 

Only three Oxford batsmen 

scored in double figures as they 

fell to be all out in the 42nd over 

for 183. Mayerhoof and George

Batters let Weedons 

down in run chase 

Redpath both picked up three 

wickets for Weedons. 

Weedons run chase got off to 

a promising start. Opener Josh 

Watson top scored with 52 and 

combined with Will Duncan for a 

50-run fourth wicket partnership 

to have the team at 103-2 after 26 

overs. 

A collapse saw Weedons lose 

three wickets for just two runs. 

This sparked a quick finish to 

their hopes of a first win this 

summer. They were bowled out 

for 152 in the 40th over, 32 runs 

short of their target. 

It wasn’t a day to remember for 

Weedons bowler Jonathan Green. 

His bowling figures included one 

wicket, 21 wides and a no-ball 

from his five overs. He was then 

dismissed for a one ball golden 

duck in the second innings. 

CHARGING IN: Pace bowler Josh Watson 

arrives at the crease ready to deliver. 

POISED:

HORORATA PARISH SPRING FAIR - 

WHO KNEW PUTTING DOWN TECHNOLOGY 

COULD BE SO MUCH FUN! 

It’s the annual Hororata Parish Spring Fair this Labour Day. Take a change of pace and return to some 

good old-fashioned fun. 

“We know families are looking for ways to just be in the moment, the fair provides tactile events, races 

and competitions. How can you not smile when you take a look at the Creative Kid’s categories this year 

‘Spring in Your Step’ and your take on the traditional Ginger Bread Man. Watch out for your gumboots 

and shoes,” warns fair organiser Lucy Cookson. 

The Hororata Parish Spring Fair features a large number of market stalls specifically offering a range of 

local products and produce. The White Elephant which fills the entire stables at the Hororata Domain is a 

must, along with the unique Country Auction (11.30am kick-off) hosted by the infamous ‘Fred’ - be sure 

to grab yourself a bargain! 

This year there are 2 featured events: 

Pedalmania - Just fun on wheels and thanks to our local Malvern Lions - no entry fees! 

Hororata Great Race - The Hororata Primary School is hosting this new event taking its inspiration from 

the TV “The Great Race”. All fitness levels will enjoy this version. Keep an eye out for more information 

about this event coming through the local schools. 

“Each year our community grows and diversifies. Although the Spring Fair is the biggest fundraiser 

for the Hororata Parish, we also see it as a place where family and friends can have an enjoyable day 

together,” says Lucy. “It is about bringing the community together. With free entry and easy onsite 

parking the Spring Fair provides an inexpensive day out for families in a safe and welcoming setting.” 

The Hororata Parish Spring 

Fair is at the Hororata Domain, 

Labour Day 24th October 

from 9.30am to 2pm. 

Entry is free!

We are now surveying our community on what you would like our district’s environment to be like 

in the future. 

The survey is the start of a project which will run over the next few years to review the council’s 

District Plan. The District Plan controls the activities allowed on different properties, where shops, 

industrial areas and new housing is located and is also designed to protect our environment. 

Selwyn is the fastest growing district in New Zealand so our district has been changing rapidly. 

The survey aims to find out what people like about our district now and what they would like to 

see in the future. As part of the District Plan review, more consultation is planned over the next 

few years on specific topics. 

“In May this year we carried out our annual Resident’s Survey which included a question about 

whether people thought Selwyn was a great place to live. The survey found that most people 

thought Selwyn was a great place to live and many people mentioned they liked Selwyn’s rural 

feel or that our district had a good mix of townships and rural areas,” says Mel Renganathan, the 

Council’s Strategy and Policy Advisor. “In this survey we want to find out what aspects of our 

district help create the rural feel that people like.” 

The survey is available at www.selwyn.govt.nz/haveyoursay. It takes around five minutes to 

complete and is open until 4 December. By completing it you can go into a draw to win one of five 

$100 prezzy vouchers. If you have questions about the survey please contact Mel on 347 2712 or 

Emma on 347 2920 or email districtplanreview@selwyn.govt.nz 

Some of the things the District Plan controls include: 

· How much new development is allowed, where new sections are located and how sections and 

homes are designed 

· What type of buildings are allowed in different areas 

· What activities you can carry out on your property – for example whether business activities are 

allowed, and if so, what types of activities 

· Activities in your neighbourhood that could affect your enjoyment of your property – for example 

noise limits that apply, whether you can keep certain animals, and how high neighbouring 

buildings can be built which could affect your privacy and light 

· Where shops and industrial areas are allowed and what rules are in place in these areas 

· Where farming can occur and what farming activities are allowed without a resource consent 

· Rules to protect special features like heritage sites or special environmental areas 

On the roads this week 

East Maddisons Road is open to traffic travelling from Goulds 

Road to Selwyn Road while work continues to seal the road and 

complete other works. It is closed to vehicles travelling from 

Selwyn Road to Goulds Road. Road repairs are planned on 

Leaches, Bealey, Old Tai Tapu and Marshs Roads, with traffic 

controls in place. Road reconstruction work is planned on Deans 

Road and ford repair work is planned on Washpen Road, with 

traffic controls operating at both sites. 

A new footpath (right) on Springston Rolleston Road from 

Rolleston College to Lowes Road is currently being constructed by 

contractors to the Ministry of Education. Footpath repairs will occur 

on Pound Road and Market Street in Leeston.

An 

enchanting 

restaurant 

Tulips and daffodils are 

blooming and the blossoms 

budding in the enchanting garden 

at Memorys Restaurant. 

Whether calling in for a coffee, 

tea or meal, Sue and Emma make 

dining a special experience with 

superbly healthy and original 

dishes served in a friendly and 

efficient manner. 

“With the new season’s vegetables 

coming in, meals have a fresher 

lighter taste which is a lovely change 

after the comfort foods of winter,” 

says Sue Giddens owner of Memorys 

Restaurant. 

With an inventive culinary style, 

Sue varies the menu every week 

to suit in-season produce and 

the weather making for a magical 

surprise in each and every delicious 

dish. Her salad bowl is a permanent 

on the menu and while its tastes 

change each week, it is immersed 

with wonderful flavours combining 

crisp light textured salad greens 

including home grown produce, 

such as fresh rocket, fennel and tasty 

herbs. There are also a few surprises 

like lovely imported pomegranates, 

tossed through to add bright jewels 

amongst the greens. Customers can 

also add a little protein with smoked 

salmon as a side. 

The desserts change too, with 

gluten, dairy free and refined sugar 

free options available. They might 

be a deconstructed donut or Greek 

custard tart and the sweet platter 

is on the menu all day, with bite 

sized healthy options to satisfy the 

taste buds without the guilt. Sweet 

treats vary each day and might 

include Cacao bliss balls, freeze 

dried coconut slice, salted peanut 

caramel fudge, a chocolate option 

or a chicory coffee slice. 

Relax in the sheltered courtyard; 

dine in doors or in the gallery 

room and take a stroll through 

the herb garden, making it easy to 

take a break away from everyday 

life at Memorys Restaurant. 

“We welcome people to pop 

in and enjoy the ambience of 

our place,” says Sue. “There are 

croissants, scones, savouries and 

our sweet treat platter for a light 

snack with coffee, a tea or organic 

cold drinks.” 

Hours of opening are: Thursday to 

Sunday, 10am-4pm, with breakfasts 

available 10.00-11.30am. You can 

book a private dinner from Thursday

Gardening 

SELWYN TIMES 

Work in advance for Xmas 

With the warmer weather 

comes the ever-knowing 

awareness and 

understanding that 

Christmas is really not 

that far away 

TURN THE corner and we are 

almost there. 

Wise are those who plan and 

work in advance. Unfortunately, 

most of us wait until the last 

minute to work on our gardens, 

just before the big day arrives. 

Often we find the task either 

too big or too difficult, hence 

a lot of us leave it incomplete 

or even worse, don’t start at all. 

Well, here are some simple tips 

to improve your outdoor living 

areas. 

You can always let the cobwebs 

inside take care of themselves, at 

least they catch flies. 

One: If your garden is too 

much to handle then simplify it. 

Look at what plants you have. 

Your likes and dislikes. Too big 

or too small? Leaf droppers or 

sun blockers? The list goes on. 

Ascertain what has to go and 

get rid of them. You may be 

surprised at how simple things 

make a big difference. 

Two: Remember, often less is 

best. At this stage you may need 

to seek some professional advice 

to help keep in mind the picture 

you want to create. 

Three: If your garden and 

plant maintenance is high and 

you’re finding it hard to cope, 

then weed out the problem. For 

AESTHETICS: Raised gardens add a point of interest. 

example, it just maybe time to 

realise that the roses are no longer 

suitable. Remember you can 

always substitute them with an 

alternative plant. 

Four: Consider building 

raised gardens with timber or 

garden sleepers. Besides adding 

a point of interest, you have the 

added benefits of a well drained 

garden that is easier to maintain. 

You may even consider split 

level gardens which will add an 

aesthetic value to your piece of 

paradise. 

Five: Consider plants that 

either give off scent or produce 

food. This is an increasingly 

popular trend, with the benefits 

of producing organic fruit and 

vegetables being both healthy for 

the body, good for the soul and 

satisfying for the pocket. 

Six: Make your garden as 

maintenance-free as possible. 

Consider alternatives to bark and 

mulch using non-organic product 

such as decorative stone and 

using a quality non-woven weed 

matt for weed control. 

Seven: Consider painting or 

staining timber fences, retaining 

walls and other wooden structures. 

This will give a fresh look 

and can be colour co-ordinated 

to enhance your overall look and 

design. 

Eight: If the task is too much 

or you need some advice call 

your professional landscaper for 

help. There may be things you 

haven’t considered. 

Get outside and go potty 

GARDENING IN pots is a 

spectacularly rewarding and low 

labour hobby. 

Instead of battling the elements, 

treating tired old soil, 

weeding and digging frantically, 

you simply tip the prepared 

perfect potting mix into the 

container, follow it up with the 

plants, water and wait. It’s hard 

to go wrong. 

You just move the pot around 

until you’ve found the perfect 

sunny or shady spot, without 

disturbing the root system, 

because a container garden is 

portable. 

You can move it about your 

home, patio or garden to fill 

bare spots at any time of year. 

And best of all, when you move 

house, you don’t have to leave 

your cherished garden behind – 

they all shift with the furniture. 

Furthermore, container gardens 

look great anywhere – as 

hanging baskets on terraces and 

pergolas, half round containers 

spilling colour down a wall or 

fence, or simply sitting on paved 

areas, decks and steps. For best 

effect, plan your planter by 

height as well as colour. 

You can mix annuals with 

a central perennial until the 

perennial gets well established, 

and in the meantime, enjoy a 

miniature garden rather than a 

miniature plant surrounded by 

bare earth. 

You can dispense with the annuals 

when the perennial takes 

over. 

Container gardeners can 

pretty much give up weeding 

altogether. But you don’t need 

to do a bit of soil maintenance 

from time to time, because the 

plants aren’t in a self renewing 

environment – they’re relying 

on you to give them nutrition 

and moisture. 

Potted plants can dry out 

fast. Some will need watering 

up to twice a day in the hotter 

months, particularly those 

in terracotta and other porous 

pots. 

gardening without guesswork 

Question: 

I am new to Canterbury and am wondering what things can I do when 

planting my new gardens to prepare for the much drier summer months? 

Choosing your growing 

Answer: mix is important, you 

will want to make sure 

you have a good quality soil and/or compost 

mixture. Carefully selecting your plants for the 

climate is important too. If you choose plants that 

aren’t very drought tolerant, and you aren’t able to 

provide them with the amount of watering as they 

need, then these may not be the plants for you. 

How you water your plants is very important too. 

When watering, make sure that you give them a 

good long soak once or twice a week for a couple 

of hours, rather than a light sprinkle each day. 

This helps to get 

the plant’s roots deeper in the ground, reduce fungal 

diseases and gives the plants a greater reservoir to draw 

from. Adding mulch around the drip line will also help to 

conserve moisture, and suppress weeds, which is ideal 

as weeds will fight you plants for the water and nutrients. 

Any of our bark mulches will be ideal for this, come down 

and have a look at what is available, and if you can’t 

collect it yourself, we can arrange a delivery for you.

Gardening 

SELWYN TIMES 

Water has a calming and cooling effect 

IN THE heat of summer, water 

brings a welcome cooling effect 

to any garden and its use is 

one that every gardener should 

consider. 

Water’s cooling magic works in 

two ways – physical and psychological 

– and understanding 

these helps the gardener best 

harness its powers. 

Jumping into a cool pool is 

a great way of chilling out on a 

hot day, but even if we don’t take 

the plunge, a body of water has a 

cooling effect because evaporation 

from its surface helps cool 

the surrounding air. 

This air-cooling effect is greatest 

when water is splashed or 

dispersed into small droplets, 

because this tends to increase the 

amount that evaporates. And if 

some is splashed onto our skins 

and clothing, we notice this 

cooling effect directly. 

Water’s psychological cooling 

powers are partly due to association. 

We have all been exposed 

to its physical cooling features, 

so even just thinking about a 

gushing waterfall or bush pool 

helps us feel cooler. 

Seeing or hearing water has an 

even greater effect than imagining 

it. There’s a further way 

water seems to help us chill out 

on a hot day. This is due to its 

EFFECTIVE: Use a statue with flowing water in an untidy corner to give it some life, however, a pump and water supply will be 

necessary. 

calming effects. It’s hard to feel 

hot and bothered when contemplating 

a calm sheet of water or 

when soothed by the sounds 

of water trickling, gurgling or 

gently splashing. 

Even the impersonal, repetitive 

crash of strong surf can have a 

remarkably calming effect. The 

question for the gardener is how 

best to exploit these combined 

cooling powers of water in the 

summer garden, keeping in 

mind that the same cooling 

effects could also be an unwelcome 

in winter. 

Even the smallest garden 

space can use water effectively. 

For example, on a patio you can 

enjoy the sight and sound of 

water trickling over the edges 

of a simple receptacle or simple, 

sculptured shape before being 

recycled through a small 

pump. 

You will find examples of these 

at most garden centres, some 

complete with pump. All you 

need is access to power, which 

on a patio usually doesn’t create 

major problems. 

Alternatively, you can purchase 

a pump separately and 

design your own water spilling 

feature if have reasonable handyman 

skills. When choosing or 

designing such a feature, consider 

the merits of a piece that 

will look good when the water 

is not flowing because this may 

prove a more attractive option in 

winter. 

Another way to incorporate 

water in a small space is to 

purchase or make a water spout. 

Traditional examples include 

wall-mounted ones with water 

gushing out of a lion’s mouth but 

simple abstract spouts or those 

featuring natural materials can 

be as or more attractive. 

Again you will need a small 

pump to recycle the water from 

where it falls back to its source. 

Other ways to use water on a 

patio are in small containers, 

such as raised oblong troughs 

bordered by appropriate plants 

to soften their base. 

Waterfalls are harder to incorporate 

on the patio. A fairly 

popular interpretation is made 

of a series of tiny stacked ponds 

mounted in a corner.

October in the garden 

HOPEFULLY, THE highs 

and lows of spring have 

departed by now and the 

weather has become more 

settled. But be sure to keep 

an eye out for the possibility 

of late frosts. 

October is a very active 

month in the vegetable 

garden. Before planting 

add in copious amounts of 

compost to help create an 

ideal growing medium for 

newly planted seeds and 

seedlings. 

Vege plants for the summer 

garden can include 

capsicum, courgettes, cucumbers, 

eggplants (aubergine), 

peppers, pumpkin, 

tomatoes and watermelon. 

Maintain a close watch 

for slugs and snails that will 

devour young seedlings. 

A light side dressing with 

vegetable fertiliser will help 

young plants become well 

established. Water deeply 

when required, to encourage 

young plants to develop 

a deep root system. 

Preparation for your 

summer flowering ‘bed’ 

should begin in early October, 

including the addition 

of compost. Summer flowering 

annuals can include 

alyssum, asters, cornflowers, 

californian poppy, 

REWARD: Now is the time to prepare your summer 

flowering bed. 

cosmos, lobelia, livingston 

daisies, marigolds, nemesia, 

petunias, portulacas, 

phlox, salvia, sweet pea 

and zinnia. 

Spring blossoms should 

now be finished on pip 

stone fruit trees; apples, 

apricots, nectarines, 

peaches, pears and plums, 

with small fruit starting to 

form. Many of these trees 

have what can be described 

as ‘heavy post-blossom 

fruit drop’ and often only 

5-10 per cent of their blossoms 

will actually become 

mature fruit, usually 

enough for a ‘heavy crop’. 

Apply fruit tree fertiliser at 

5-6 weekly intervals. 

Shrubs that have flowered 

during the winter 

months, for example, 

azaleas and camellias 

may require some ‘tidy 

up’ pruning before new 

growth commences. With 

all shrubs, a side dressing 

of general garden fertiliser 

will encourage strong 

healthy growth. 

Mulching with compost 

around the shrubs will help 

inhibit weed growth and 

retain soil moisture, which 

is very important as the 

weather heats up.

International 

competitiveness potential 

talking point at AGM 

Dairy farmers’ ability 

to remain internationally 

competitive is likely to 

be a hot topic when dairy 

industry and research 

body, DairyNZ, reviews 

the past year at its Annual 

General Meeting next 

week. 

DairyNZ is holding 

its AGM in Ashburton 

from 11am on Thursday, 

October 27, at Hotel 

Ashburton. 

Industry body chairman 

Michael Spaans says the 

AGM will review the 

2015/16 dairy season, 

including the low milk 

price challenges, and 

discuss DairyNZ’s highlights for the year 

and future direction. 

“All New Zealand dairy farmers 

contribute funding to DairyNZ via a 

Diary New Zealand 

Chairman, Michael 

Spaans 

milksolids levy so we are 

here to work for all farmers, 

helping with immediate 

challenges such as low milk 

price through to undertaking 

long-term industry-wide 

research,” Mr Spaans says. 

The recent dairy industry 

seasons have reaffirmed the 

cyclical nature of farming 

and that farmers must ensure 

their businesses are set-up 

to cope with greater price 

volatility. 

“The long period of low 

milk prices our industry 

has faced reminds us all 

how important it is to run 

productive and profitable 

businesses,” he says. 

“Looking back on the past year, which 

has inevitably challenged many farmers’ 

profitability, I am encouraged to see, yet 

again, that dairy farmers can and do adapt, 

and as an industry we remain competitive 

internationally.” 

In 2015/16, $67 million was collected 

through the milksolids levy, along 

with additional government funding. 

DairyNZ’s work includes research and 

development to create practical on-farm 

tools, leadership of good practice farming, 

promoting careers in dairying and 

advocating for farmers with central and 

regional government. 

In 2015-16, Canterbury farmers 

produced 385 million kilograms of 

milksolids, worth $1.5 billion. The dairy 

industry’s milk production benefitted the 

regional economy by $830 million GDP 

(gross domestic product) in 2015-16 and 

provided over 6300 jobs on-farm and a 

further 1200 in milk processing. 

“This is around 7500 jobs – from on-farm 

through to processing and wholesaling,” 

Mr Spaans says. 

“Dairy is a big part of the local 

Canterbury economy – and many others 

nationwide – so it is vital to ensure the 

industry is competitive internationally 

and product is produced by resilient, 

responsible businesses.” 

Local industry research during 2015/16 

has already made good gains in developing 

farm options that could reduce nitrate 

leaching in the region, while retaining a 

pasture-based, profitable system. 

Mr Spaans says the next season would 

continue to be challenging for dairy 

farmers, as they continue to focus on 

operating under the low milk price. 

“The goal to support profitable farm 

systems has not changed. Being more 

efficient and utilising pasture is key to 

locking in the gains in operating costs, as 

milk price moves to a more sustainable 

level.”

Access to food essential 

for better urban planning 

Access to staples of the New Zealand food 

basket, such as carrots, potatoes, onions 

and leafy greens, must be a consideration 

on the table in urban planning, says 

Horticulture New Zealand chief executive 

Mike Chapman. 

Horticulture New Zealand has made 

a submission on the Productivity 

Commission’s draft report Better Urban 

Planning. 

The draft report suggests different ways of 

delivering urban planning in New Zealand 

to meet changing demands. 

“Parts of the New Zealand food supply 

chain are, in our view, being affected by 

constraints on production because of 

competition for suitable land for housing, 

and access to water,” Mr Chapman says. 

“Effects of shortages, or no supply, may 

result in increased prices for access to food 

staples such as carrots, potatoes, onions and 

leafy greens. 

“Horticulture is a growth industry in New 

Zealand, making an important contribution 

to the economy, including through jobs by 

employing about 60,000 people. 

“As a core element of New Zealand’s food 

network we need room to grow, alongside 

expanding urban areas. It would be a 

serious planning failure for New Zealand to 

have food shortages and to have to import 

fresh fruit and vegetables that can be grown 

here.” 

It would be a serious planning 

failure for New Zealand to have 

food shortages and to have to 

import fresh fruit and vegetables 

that can be grown here 

Areas where Horticulture New Zealand 

has concerns in the draft report include: 

regulating the built environment to consider 

effects on rural zoned land; the ability for 

industry groups, such as Horticulture New 

Zealand, to participate in the planning 

process; and the ability for each council 

in New Zealand to approach planning 

issues on the same basis. The organisation 

believes there is a balance that needs to be 

found in streamlining and cutting red tape 

for urban development and ensuring that 

councils meet community needs, such as 

the ability to eat domestically grown fruit 

and vegetables. 

“Overall, Horticulture New Zealand 

agrees with the approach of the Productivity 

Commission, but having land to grow fruit 

and vegetables is critical to horticulture’s 

ongoing growth and our ability to feed New 

Zealand, so the submission process is a 

valuable one,” Mr Chapman says. 

The Productivity Commission’s final 

report on urban planning is due to 

Government on November 30.

COOKING and restaurant 

service skills have earned 

two Burnham-based 

soldiers gold medals in the 

WorldSkills New Zealand 

competition. 

Private Nicholas Todd 

and Private Kimberly 

De Schot were among 

67 entrants from around 

the country to showcase 

their skills at the Waikato 

Institute of Technology in 

Hamilton. 

They have also been 

selected for the Tool 

Blacks, New Zealand’s 

representative team for 

the WorldSkills Oceania 

Competition in Melbourne 

early next year, and later 

for the 2017 WorldSkills 

International Competition 

in Abu Dhabi. 

The competition in 

Hamilton covered 14 industry 

categories, including 

building and construction, 

manufacturing and 

engineering, creative arts 

and fashion and social and 

personal services. 

Each competitor completed 

a specific project 

over two days, replicating 

problems and tasks that 

they would encounter in 

their daily jobs. 

Private Todd worked in 

a restaurant before joining 

the army as a chef. He

day at Burnham Military 

Camp and said he believed 

his time in the military 

had been good preparation 

when it came to performing 

under pressure. 

“Especially with our 

training, they are quite 

hard on us,” he said. 

Private De Schot, who 

serves as a steward in the 

army, had competed in a 

number of army competitions 

before. She said winning 

at the national level 

had been a surprise and a 

good experience. 

“Putting in the effort 

and winning was just a 

bonus and it goes to show 

that hard work and training 

does pay off,” she said. 

Pasifika Trades Training leads 

to new career for Charity 

Receiving a Pasifika Trades Training 

scholarship has been a game-changer for 

Charity Ierome. After completing a 12- 

week Essential Civil Skills course at Ara 

Institute of Canterbury for free, she now 

has a clear career path and a new outlook. 

“The biggest thing it’s done for me is 

build up my confidence. Before I felt like 

nobody and now I know that I can achieve 

and what I want to do in the future,” she 

says. 

Charity used to work in the butchery at 

Pak n Save, but knew it wasn’t what she 

wanted to do long-term. Her Dad found 

out about the Pasifika Trades Training 

scholarship through Reverend Fitifiti 

Lautua, a mentor for the programme. 

With so many opportunities in 

Canterbury, Charity says that trades 

training was a good career move and it 

made financial sense. 

“It was a chance for me to do something 

for myself and make a better living for my 

family. My Nana was my inspiration. I 

wanted to make sure she was well looked 

after back in Samoa,” she says. 

Studying for 12 weeks full-time was a 

big commitment for Charity, who also 

continued to work full-time. However, the 

backing of her tutor and classmates helped 

her to succeed. 

“My tutor had experienced the kind of 

difference that a qualification can make in 

your life and he was a real role model. My 

class became my second family,” she says. 

The course was exactly what Charity 

needed to get into the industry. It included 

the core practical skills and certifications 

that employers look for, and provided 

support to enter the workforce. 

“The most valuable thing I learned was 

how to get work-ready. I was taught how 

to approach an interview and what to put 

in my CV. We also had potential employers 

come to talk to us,” she says. 

Just two weeks after completing her 

qualification, Charity was offered a job at 

City Care. She is now a Traffic Management 

Site Supervisor, wants to work towards 

a degree and has her sights set on a 

management role. 

“It’s like I’m on a totally different planet 

now. Studying has changed who I am and 

it has changed my family’s future,” she says.

SELWYN TIMES 

Outdoor entertaining 

In the warmer weather it is great 

to entertain outdoors. The children 

can play while the adults chill or 

join in on a game of cricket, soccer 

or volleyball. 

Successful outdoor entertaining 

is often linked to good food and 

drink however there can be more 

to ensuring everyone has a good 

time. 

Some people love sitting in the 

sun while others seek shade so 

establishing outdoor living spaces 

that are sunny yet also have some 

shade and wind shelter, at different 

times of the day, will help ensure 

comfort for all. 

Umbrellas, shade sails, awnings, 

pull down blinds, pergolas or 

planting a hedge are all ways to 

create shade. Umbrellas come in a 

range of sizes with some able to be 

tilted to block out the evening sun. 

However, they not very stable in 

the wind so only really suitable in 

a sheltered spot. 

Shade sails are generally the 

most effective way to block out 

the sun while withstanding high 

winds. These can be made to fit 

a certain area and if well-made, 

are worry free though there is a 

little work in putting them up and 

taking them down, so once up 

are likely to be there all season. 

Awnings or canopies which are 

permanently fixed in place are also 

an option. 

With large gatherings, many 

people are happy to stand and 

chat though not everyone will 

be comfortable standing for 

long periods. Seating might be 

constructed around decks and 

paved areas or incorporated into 

raised garden beds to supplement 

outdoor dining and lounge suites. 

Alternatively, guests might be 

asked to bring camp chairs. 

If catering for a group vary the 

food served and unless a keen 

gourmet, keep the menu simple, 

preparing ahead so you have 

time to spend with your guests. 

Alternatively, you might ask guests 

to bring pot luck or certain dishes, 

or meat for the barbecue and 

remember to be a responsible host, 

ensuring sufficient food and nonalcoholic 

drinks are provided. 

Count the number of utensils, 

plates and glasses likely to 

be needed, buying or hiring 

more if required or purchasing 

disposables. Add a little extra to 

ensure there is sufficient. 

The weather can never be 

planned for so have a plan B. If 

the day turns cold or wet, you 

may simply retreat indoors, to the 

garage or have shelter rigged up in 

advance using tarpaulins or a tent. 

To keep warm a brazier might 

be used, if there are no fire bans in 

place, while an outdoor fireplace 

or gas fire will add ambience. An 

outdoor wooden or gas fire or a 

pizzeria might be included when 

the home is constructed or built 

as a standalone feature when 

landscaping. 

A portable gas fire might also 

be considered which can be 

moved around for use in other 

places and does not require a 

building consent. 

Good hosts provide 

for the needs of their 

guests so they have 

a good time.

Barbecuing for friends 

Precooked or gourmet sausages are a 

Kiwi barbecue classic. They are affordable, 

quick to cook and popular with adults and 

children alike. Other favourites are mince 

patties, steak and chicken pieces while 

roasts are an easy alternative. 

Meat roasted on the barbecue will be 

particularly tender when cooked slowly, at 

a low temperature. The size of the cut will 

determine the cooking time. Raw ham for 

instance may be cooked for several hours 

while a cooked ham might also be baked 

on low for about an hour. Hot ham is 

delicious in bread rolls or with salads. 

When roasting lamb, hogget or mutton 

try piercing the skin with a sharp knife 

and inserting sage leaves and short stalks 

of fresh rosemary in the holes. Sprinkle 

with salt and pepper then using the 

rotisserie or placing the meat directly 

on the plate, cook on high for fifteen 

minutes to seal in the juices. Reduce the 

temperature to 150 degrees Celsius and 

roast for another hour and a half to two 

hours. The fat will cook out of the meat 

leaving it succulent and falling off the 

bone. 

Beef also lends itself to barbecue 

roasting. Its cooking time will depend on 

the cut. Cuts that take longer to cook may 

benefit from being marinated. Marinades 

can be purchased readymade or mixed 

up using a little oil, garlic, sauce like soy 

and seasoning. The meat can be left in the 

marinade for twenty minutes to two days 

unless the marinade is acidic in which 

case the maximum time is two hours. 

Cheaper cuts like blade steak benefit from 

marinating before frying. 

Roasting chicken on the barbecue is 

also easy though be sure that it is cooked 

through. Try inserting an opened full can 

of beer into the cavity of the chicken then 

stand it upright in a hooded barbecue to 

cook. The meat will be tasty with a subtle 

beer flavour. 

Pork also benefits from seasoning or 

being marinated. Coat the meat in Hoisin 

sauce before cooking on high for half an 

hour then slowly roast on the rotisserie 

or hot plate, basting with more sauce 

if needed during the cooking process. 

Other seasonings can be added with 

plenty of recipes available on the Internet. 

Pork will also benefit from sitting after 

early preparation to allow the flavours to 

permeate the meat before cooking. 

Serve roast meat with fresh bread, rolls, 

potatoes thinly sliced and fried on the hot 

plate, and healthy salads. Any vegetable 

that can be eaten raw might be included. 

Tasty salad additions that add colour 

and are high in nutrients include: rocket, 

grated beetroot and carrot, radishes, 

cucumber, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, 

tomatoes, boiled eggs, and herbs like 

parsley, coriander, Borage and Calendula 

flowers. 

To finish off the meal, icecream might 

be served with fruit, jelly or Pavlova; 

parfaits made out of fruit, cream and 

icecream; or icecream sodas where fizz 

drink is simply poured over a scoop of 

icecream for a favourite 

with the children. 

Icecream sundaes 

are a favourite with 

children

SELWYN TIMES 

Sprucing up the yard 

A lush green garden makes a lovely backdrop to the 

home. Tall trees and shrubs offer shelter and shade 

producing enjoyable places to linger. However, over 

time the garden can become overgrown, even when 

tended regularly and a good clean-up is needed. 

Rather than chopping trees down, consider 

undertaking some serious pruning and shaping to 

thin the tree. Some branches may be cut out to let 

light in and open up the garden. 

If the trees are tall, an arborist may be contracted 

to top these and cut out unwanted limbs allowing 

the shape of the tree to be maintained. Arborists are 

experts in dropping trees safely and will advise on 

any disease a tree might have and how it might be 

saved. 

With smaller trees and shrubs, a good saw or 

chainsaw and lopping shears can be used to thin and 

shape them so light penetrates through and other 

plants have space to grow. 

Prune back shrubs that are overtaking the garden 

and may be smothering other plants. Thin at the 

bottom also to allow space for lower growing plants, 

ground covers and flowers which add colour and 

interest to the garden. Now is also the time to cut 

out frost damage from plants and spray any that are 

diseased. 

If there are gaps, it is a good time to plant out and a 

visit to the nursery is bound to find some interesting 

new plants to add into the garden. 

Giving the garden a general weeding then topping 

up with bark, mulch, pea straw or another ground 

cover will make the garden tidy and help trap in 

moisture, assisting the garden over summer. 

Older lawns may need dethatching either by hand 

raking or using a scarifying machine. Like brushing 

your hair, this takes out the dead and cut grass, 

helping the lawn to absorb moisture and grow more 

easily. 

The lawn should also be sprayed periodically 

using a specific lawn weed killer that kills broadleaf 

weeds and clover. Take care not to use a weed killer 

like Round-up as this will kill weeds and lawn alike. 

If moss is growing in the lawn, a combined moss 

killer and fertiliser product can be purchased for 

this job. 

For an even and consistent lawn, spread soil over 

any dips and hollows before re-seeding any bald 

parts. Occasionally applying a fertiliser to the lawn 

will also help to achieve a lush green lawn. 

Turning your attention 

to the paths and paving, 

sweep these then spray 

weeds growing in the 

cracks, path joins and 

between paving slabs. 

Treat any moss on paths, 

paving or decking by 

spraying with de-moss 

treatment. This can be 

purchased from a garden 

or hardware centre. The 

moss might also need 

to be water blasted to 

remove it completely. 

Lastly, replace any 

rotten or damaged boards 

on the deck before restaining 

to freshen up a faded 

timber deck, pergola or wooden 

outdoor tables and seating.

Decks, patios and paving 

The choice of a deck, concrete patio 

or paving will largely be influenced by 

personal preference. 

Patios and paving are low maintenance 

and last longer than a deck, the aesthetics 

of which is more appealing. 

One advantage of a deck is the seamless 

movement it creates from house to 

outdoor living area. With no need to step 

down, there is a feeling of having a larger 

home with an outside room, especially if 

the roof overhangs a part of this area or 

there is a pergola structure overhead. 

Concrete patios can be smooth and 

grey, coloured or exposed aggregate 

and lines can be cut into the concrete to 

create a paved effect. When raised off the 

ground, the cost of the concrete may make 

the patio more expensive than a wooden 

deck would be. However, concrete patios 

are easy to keep clean and the concrete 

lasts considerably longer than wood. It 

will also be a smooth splinter-free surface 

on which children can play. On the down 

side, concrete heats up with the sun and 

can be glary. 

Paving is easy to lay and change. It is 

also reasonably easy to maintain though 

the pavers can shift over time causing 

an uneven surface, especially if the 

foundation on which they were laid has 

not been prepared properly. Dirt can also 

build up in the cracks causing weeds to 

grow, resulting in the need to spray or 

scrape these out. 

If choosing a deck, options include 

pine, hardwood, bamboo or a composite 

wood look product. 

Radiata pine is the most affordable 

wood for decking. It has the advantage 

of being treated and is available with a 

smooth surface or grip tread though is 

perhaps the least attractive of the decking 

timbers available. 

Currently hardwood decks are very 

popular, due to the attractiveness of the 

wood. Hardwood can bleed and stain 

surrounding concrete and brickwork and 

it will need regular staining to minimise 

the chance of it splitting and maintain its 

rich golden brown colour, something that 

could be a chore. 

Kwila, vitex, Pacific jarrah and garapa 

are popular decking hardwood timbers. 

They can be purchased smooth cut or 

with a tread on one side. While Kwila 

is the most popular, you might wish to 

check out that the timber has come from a 

sustainable source. 

A decking product that is relatively new 

to the New Zealand market is bamboo. If 

sourced from a credible supplier such as 

the local Christchurch brand, Evoca, then 

bamboo is said to be environmentally 

friendly. Bamboo’s advantage as a decking 

timber is its density and strength. 

Still more hardy and permanent are the 

natural wood looking composite products. 

These are made out of recycled materials 

and come in a range of colours. While 

pricier than wood, composite decking is 

said to be non-slip, hold its colour, and not 

warp, crack or splinter the way wood can; 

features that make it pleasant to walk on 

in bare feet or for the children to play on.

Driven 

Fuel-friendly Toyota Corolla hybrid 

• By Ross Kiddie • Price – Toyota Prius, $47,490 

MY SUSPICIONS have 

been confirmed – I’m not an 

economical driver. 

How did I come to this 

conclusion? Well, Toyota New 

Zealand invited me to the launch 

of the new Corolla hybrid, and 

the event was held at Feilding’s 

Manfeild Autocourse facility. 

As a group of journalists we 

were tasked with the challenge 

of driving the vehicles around 

the track, and obstacles, against 

the clock for a set distance, 

yet trying to achieve the most 

economical fuel usage result. 

While my figures were midfield 

and a lot better than some 

of the group, the winners had 

results vastly better than mine. 

There was some conjecture as to 

the method some drivers used 

to achieve winning figures, but 

the reality is that even though I 

thought I was being light-footed, 

I wasn’t. 

What the exercise served to 

prove is that the Corolla hybrid 

can be made a very economical 

car to drive. Toyota rate it with 

a 4.1-litre per 100km (69mpg) 

combined cycle average, which 

was close to where my Manfeild 

figure sat. 

On my home turf and after 

driving the car for four days, 

TOYOTA COROLLA: Hybrid technology borrowed from Prius. 

the trip computer was listing a 

6l/100km (47mpg) average when 

I took it back to the dealership. 

Those, along with a 4l/100km 

instantaneous figure when 

cruising the open road speed 

limit, are good results for a 

vehicle which will be sold on the 

basis that it is a fuel miser. 

The hybrid sits near the top 

of the Corolla range, joining the 

seven-model line-up at $38,490, 

bearing in mind that the range 

starts at $31,990 and ends at 

$41,990. The hybrid is GLXbased, 

which means it doesn’t 

get all the specification items 

that are offered in other variants, 

but it does get a reasonable level 

of fitment which will satisfy 

those who want a car where 

economy is more important that 

status. 

Based around the mechanicals 

which have made Prius a 

household word in terms of 

hybrid technology, the Corolla 

hybrid utilises a 1.8-litre petrol 

engine coupled to the Synergy 

system which transfers drive 

though a continuously variable 

automatic transmission. 

The combination develops 

a total of around 100kW and 

142Nm, varying at any given 

time depending on whether the 

engine is active and/or batteries 

are supplying the drive. 

Of course, electric propulsion 

is the ultimate aim, and if 

situations allowed, that would 

be the case but, of course, 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4540mm; width, 1760mm; 

height, 1475mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheel-drive, 

1798cc, 90kW, 142Nm, CVT. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11sec 

• Fuel usage – 3.4l/100km 

battery capacity is constantly 

exhausted, and as a vehicle it 

is required to accelerate and 

maintain momentum, which is 

why the petrol engine operates 

at will. However, hybrid systems 

are here to stay, and until there 

are alternative technologies 

in place it is the best option 

for those whose welfare of the 

environment is a major car 

buying factor. 

When it comes time to tackle 

a quick corner or two it steers 

with precision and reacts 

favourably to steering input. If 

you also take into account that 

the batteries create a more even 

front/rear weight distribution, 

body balance is controlled, and 

there is just gentle movement 

over the suspension. 

The latter is a fully independent 

type which is in contrast to the 

tube beam system of its nonhybrid 

stablemates. I’ve long 

been an advocate of independent 

rear suspension, and the doublewishbone 

system of the hybrid 

is absorbent yet allows wheel 

freedom which is translated into 

control under load. 

The tyres are a low rolling 

resistance Michelin compound 

(205/55 x 16in), nevertheless, 

they have enough grip on offer to 

combat gravitational force under 

pressure, and offer substantial 

steering feel for the driver. 

The Corolla hybrid can’t be 

considered a quick car, but it will 

return a standstill to 100km/h 

acceleration time of 11sec, 

which suggests that it is still 

has respectable speed for which 

we have come to expect from 

mainstream Corollas. 

Toyota has a raft of hybrid 

models on the domestic market, 

and here in New Zealand we 

only get handful of variants 

with many of those coming via 

Lexus. 

That being the case, the 

Corolla hybrid is an important 

car for Toyota New Zealand, 

and if you consider it sits neatly 

between Prius C ($29,990), Prius 

($47,490) and Camry ($50,790), 

it is a tempting proposition 

for those who have come to 

embrace the hybrid concept, 

or for those who just want to 

experience it for the first time.

value to your rental investment. 

Make your home eco-friendly 

Early New Zealand houses were 

aligned with the street rather 

than the sun. Today, we design 

homes to maximise the sun 

particularly in the living areas, reducing 

the amount of heating required. If your 

home is older and the sunniest room 

in the house is the bathroom, consider 

reconfiguring the layout! 

Solar panels 

In a country with abundant sun and 

warmth, it seems extraordinary that solar 

energy isn’t our first choice for water heating. 

Initial setup costs are recouped quickly and 

even if your solar panels supplement your 

electricity usage, you’ve still saved on the 

bills and done your bit for conservation. 

Exterior cladding 

While low maintenance materials are 

often viewed as eco-friendly, the most 

natural and renewable resource is timber. 

As a large producer of timber, it’s not 

surprising that NZ still uses it widely for 

framing if not for exterior cladding. 

Windows 

Double glazed windows ensure your home 

conserves heat and can be fitted in both 

new and existing homes. Complemented 

by tinting and/or insect screens, they also 

reduce summer glare and heat, protect from 

insects and allow passive flow of fresh air 

thus reducing reliance on air conditioning. 

Insulation 

Insulate, insulate, insulate! Nothing 

improves the internal environment more 

effectively. For dedicated environmentalists, 

the use of wool insulation may be 

considered, both for its effectiveness and 

fire retardant properties. 

Walls, tiles and floors 

Dark coloured floor tiles and thermomass 

interior walls absorb heat and slow release 

it later in the day. If that’s not an option, 

a sun-drenched interior wall painted in a 

dark colour can have a similar though less 

effective result. Eco paints made without 

harsh chemicals are becoming increasingly 

popular and solution-dyed synthetic carpets 

are kinder to asthma and allergy sufferers. 

Heating 

To reduce air pollution, we have 

introduced cleaner burning appliances 

such as pellet fires, approved wood burning 

stoves and gas fires, as well as various forms 

of electrical heating such as underfloor, 

warm air circulation systems and heat 

pumps. Central heating of air or water-filled 

radiators is also efficient, using a single 

energy source to warm several rooms. 

Other eco-friendly ideas 

• Install a rain water tank for garden 

irrigation or car wash 

• Recycle your rubbish 

• Use low-wattage light bulbs 

• Wrap hot water cylinders to retain heat 

• Choose thermal lined drapes 

• Buy appliances with optimum 

energy ratings 

• Turn off appliances when not in use 

• Fix any dripping taps to conserve water 

• Cut back trees and foliage close 

to the house 

• Let the sunshine in – even in winter

Wilfield – West Melton’s latest sub-division 

West Melton’s township had little growth until the Gainsborough subdivision was developed, nearly ten years ago.

Preston Downs followed with 

developers Gillman Wheelans 

beginning its planning around three 

years prior to the Christchurch 

earthquakes. This subdivision faces 

Gainsborough on Weedons Ross 

Road, stretching behind an earlier 

development known as the village, to 

West Coast Road. Its launch coincided 

with the September 2010 earthquakes 

and subsequent announcement of 

red zoned land in Christchurch, 

explaining its rapid increase in sales 

with all 362 lots sold within four 

years. 

“The expansion of West Melton’s 

township was well received by its 

community,” says Hamish Wheelans, 

Director of Gillman Wheelans. 

Hamish believes that limitations 

can be turned into opportunities. This 

includes the challenges of achieving 

alterations to densities from rural to 

urban. Gillman Wheelans also see 

opportunity for more business outlets 

and have recently proposed to build 

a complex on West Coast Road. This 

would complement the new retail 

centre on Weedons Ross Road but 

provide for larger local businesses like 

rural supply stores and repair centres, 

fitting with the new Community and 

Recreation Centre to be constructed 

by Selwyn Council. Hamish will learn 

in October if this proposal has been 

approved. 

Whatever the outcome of Gillman 

Wheelans’ latest proposal it is likely 

that West Melton will continue to 

grow as an ideal residential outpost 

for both the city and the growing 

town of Rolleston.
