Population accelerates
• By Tom Doudney
NOT ONLY is five-day-old
Hadley Baikie the apple of his
parents’ eyes, he is one of a
rapidly expanding number of
children being raised in eastern
Selwyn.
Hadley’s family, which
includes parents Phill and Tessa
and 21-month-old sister Tayla,
live in Rolleston, part of an area
identified by a new Infometrics
report as the third fastest
growing in the country.
THe area, called “southwest
Christchurch” in the
Regional Hotspots report, also
includes West Melton, Lincoln,
Prebbleton and Halswell.
Based on projected population
growth between 2013 and 2023,
it predicted the area would have
grown by 85 per cent in that time
period, an increase of 22,790
people.
Only Hobsonville in Auckland
(up 254 per cent) and central
Christchurch (up 105 per cent)
are expected to have higher
growth rates.
Mrs Baikie said life was good
in Rolleston.
“I think it’s more country-like.
You haven’t got the busyness of
the city, but it’s close enough to
the city if you needed to get in
there,” she said.
“It’s quite family-orientated.”
Mr Baikie has lived in Selwyn
all his life and Mrs Baikie had
been in the district since moving
from Balclutha with her parents
10 years ago.
After living in the area between
West Melton and Templeton,
they decided to build their
first house in Rolleston about six
years ago.

FINALLY SELWYN’S struggling
dairy farmers can expect to have
a little more cash in their pockets
– and that is expected to provide
a boost of about $140 million to
the district’s economy.
A new report from Infometrics
has predicted dairy farmers will
break even this season for the first
time in three years, with an end
to the series of low milk payouts
within sight.
The report said good spring
rainfall in Selwyn meant pasture
was heading towards summer in
a healthy condition.
“Dairy farmers continued to
struggle through the winter, but
will be sighing with relief due to
the recent rally in dairy prices,”
it said.
Infometrics senior economist
Benje Patterson said this would
be good news for Selwyn – and
not just the dairy sector.
“We have had more than a 50
per cent increase in the farm
gate milk price so far this year in
terms of the payout forecast, and
dividends from Fonterra are also
looking pretty good,” Mr Patterson
said.
“Our estimates show there is
going to be about another $140
million pumped into Selwyn’s
economy this dairy season if the
payout ends up being $6.”

WE’RE GROWING fast in parts
of Selwyn, in fact third fastest
in New Zealand, latest statistics
reveal.
When you see the amount
of housing going up, the new
schools being built, and business
coming into the district, it’s easy
to see why Selwyn is near the top
of the growth table.
Today we have coverage of the
latest figures on pages 1, 4 and
5 and we focus on one of the
district’s brand new faces – fiveday-old
Hayden Baikie.
He’s come into a world where
the pace of change will quicken
incredibly over the next few
decades with technological
advances.
But young Hayden will no
doubt take all of these in his ever
growing strides, as generations
before have during the changes
in their lifetimes.

Social media fuels
rescue effort to relocate eels
• By Tom Doudney
SOCIAL MEDIA has been used
to mobilise a rescue effort to
relocate eels trapped in dried
up stretches of the Selwyn/
Waikirikiri River.
Volunteers, Department of
Conservation and Environment
Canterbury staff and Fish and
Game officers spent several days
last week finding and relocating
eels trapped in a stretch of
the river which extended both
upstream and
downstream
from the State
Highway 1
bridge.
A post by Will
Clayton in the
Rolleston Community
Page on Facebook was
widely shared and more than 60
people commented with a number
of people offering advice or
reporting that they were heading
down to help.
However, reports suggested
many eels and other species such
as trout had already died by the
time they were found.
One person had found “78
dead eels, lots of dead small
trout, and four very big live eels.”
SAD SIGHT: Photos of eels trapped in the Selwyn/Waikirikiri
River, and others which were relocated, were shared to the
Rolleston Community Page on Facebook.
Te Ara Kakariki Greenway
Trust chairman Craig Pauling
(left), also a former member of
Ngāi Tahu’s Te Waihora Management
Board, told the Selwyn
Times the situation was pretty
sad.
He believed that the endangered
longfin eels would be most
affected as they tended to live
upstream and would be trying to
come down to Te Waihora/Lake
Ellesmere to migrate.
“It’s about the right time of
year for them to come down,” Mr
Pauling said.
“They could be very old,
perhaps at least 70 and they
only go down to the lake once to
migrate.”
Mr Pauling, who camped on
the Waikirikiri/Selwyn River as
a child, said the flow of the river
was not what it once was.
Environment Canterbury team
leader hydrological science Helen
Shaw said the river was dry
because of an extended period of
drought which had resulted in
very low groundwater levels.
Drying reaches were likely
to have a major impact on eel
(called ‘tuna’ in Maori), particularly
the longfin species which
penetrated many kilometres
inland.
“If tuna cannot return to sea,
they cannot breed,” she said.
“Unseasonably low flows will
have an impact on fish populations
and increase the likelihood
of getting caught in a drying
reach.”
Department of Conservation
biodiversity ranger Anita Spencer
said the situation was concerning
because longfin eels only
bred at the end of their life and
there had been few opportunities
for them to make it from the top
of the river down to the ocean,
via the lake, over the last two
years due to dry conditions.
She believed the latest migration
attempt might have happened
when a period of rainfall
briefly filled some dried out
parts of the river before the water
quickly receded again.
“That was the problem, it
rained quite a lot but not enough
to keep it flowing,” she said.

Economy to benefit
from milk prices
•From page 1
Dairy farmers had been
tightening their belts with the
low payouts, which would have
constrained some retail and
wholesale spending in the district
and may have contributed
to the number of people seeking
Jobseeker Support increasing by
6.8 per cent in the last year.
“[Farmers] are not going to
completely throw their money
around like maybe a few years
ago, but they are gradually going
to spend a little bit more,
particularly on things that they
have been putting off for the
past couple of years,” Mr Patterson
said.
Federated Farmers North
Canterbury dairy chairman
Michael Woodward said an
increased payout would give
farmers some peace of mind.
“At the moment, we are still
just waiting for Westland [Milk
Products] and Synlait to come
out with their updated forecast
to see if they are on track with
Fonterra,” he said.
“Until the last lot comes
through, we can’t count our
chickens just yet, but it’s
definitely a good sign at the moment.”

“We just wanted to stay in the
Selwyn area, really, because both
of us already lived out this way,”
Mrs Baikie said.
“We enjoy Rolleston, it’s quite
family-orientated and everyone is
so nice here.”
The Infometrics report said the
previously strong demarcation
between Christchurch’s suburbs
and the towns of Prebbleton, Lincoln
and Rolleston had become
less pronounced since the February
2011 earthquake and the
construction of the Christchurch
Southern Motorway.
Prebbleton and Lincoln still
had “a small-town feel” to them,
but were expected to expand by
30-40 per cent each over the next
eight years.
Over the longer-term, development
along Springs Rd was likely
to see Prebbleton, in particular,
become “more and more like a
suburb of Christchurch.”
Ray White Lincoln co-owner
Steve Morgan said sales of sections
in Prebbleton and Lincoln
had been steady.
“Sales prices have come back
a bit; they had to really because
they were a bit over the top postquake,
but there is still steady

day at the new Lemonwood Grove School in Rolleston. It will become the town’s fifth primary
school when it opens next year.
interest in sections and houses,”
he said.
“There are a lot of people who
want to stay in the [Christchurch]
area post-quake and they see
Lincoln and Prebbleton as a little
bit of a village-type scenario,
where it is still quite easy to commute
to town but they are on the
outskirts.”
The report said that while
Rolleston remained a core component
of growth in the area, the
town’s population, which stood
at 10,000 in the 2013 census,
was projected to be much less
meteoric in coming years. It was
not expected to top 20,000 until
the 2030s.
However, even this rate of
population growth would still
need further substantial development
of retail, community, and
education facilities in the town.
Its first secondary school,
Rolleston College, and fifth primary
school, Lemonwood Grove,
will open next year. Seven years
ago there was only one primary
school in town.
The numbers that the Regional
Hotspots report put around
growth in Selwyn and west
Chrustchurch are huge. However,
they come as no surprise to local
residents, who have watched
sub-divisions, shopping centres
and business parks around them
spreading upward and outward
at a huge rate.
Central Christchurch was also
bound to take off soon, with
many commercial developments
cutting ribbons this year and
moving trucks a regular sight
outside new apartment buildings.
But how long will it last?
The report was optimistic: As
more businesses moved west,
it drew people to homes in the
west. As subdivisions’ boomed,
the demand for shops and business
to service residents’ grew.

as parts of district booms
It predicted that cycle would
continue.
Others are more conservative.
When asked what he thought
would happen in Christchurch’s
future, Mr Cookson’s first
response was that he was a historian:
Crystal ball-gazing was not
what he did.
But if we were to learn the
lessons of history, he said, we
should look at transport.
“I think there’s a real possibility
we’ll reach the end of the satellite
town development around
Christchurch because the more
you built out of town, the more
traffic you get going in and out
of town, so the more it becomes
inconvenient. At that point,
more people will move back into
town,” he said.
That cycle had been seen in
New Brighton, which was a
thriving shopping hub while it
was the only place shops were
allowed to open on the weekend.
When nationwide Saturday
trading was introduced in the
80s, convenience won out and its
popularity dropped.
The same thing was seen in
the central city after cars became
cheaper and more accessible.
Suburban malls began to boom,
GROWING: With new homes built in subdivisions like Faringdon, the Infometrics Regional
Hotspots report predicts a growing demand for shops and services over the next seven years.
as people no longer needed to
take public transport into the
central city.
While the threat of another
earthquake or a tsunami might
have drawn people toward the
west, he believed that had less
of an impact on people’s choices
than other factors like good
schools or convenience.
Massey University pro vicechancellor
Paul Spoonley, an
expert in demography, said there
were several things that could
dramatically change the shape of
cities.
The number of immigrants
who moved to help with the
rebuild would be having an
effect, he said.
“They tend to live in areas New
Zealanders will traditionally not
want to live in, like high density
areas they are often quite used
to. And they tend to go to new
builds, not the older, historic
areas New Zealanders might
gravitate to,” he said.
Large businesses could also
have a big effect, he said, because
if they chose to base themselves
in an area, they often brought
with them employees who
wanted to live and shop close to
work.
Hornby Quadrant development
manager Kevin Arthur said
there had been huge demand
for commercial sites in the
development, which runs
between Main South Rd and
Springs Rd.
But a lot of the growth was
due to the sped-up consenting
process, he said.
“We were eyeing Hornby
for 10 years plus prior to
the earthquakes, but to get
planning consent for industrial
development takes an awfully
long time. In one case, it took us
seven years. This short-circuited
the whole system,” he said.

Bypass won’t benefit everyone
In Brief
SHOPPING CENTRE OPEN
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
POUND RD residents may have
to put up with an increase of
heavy vehicles past their homes
daily as part of a plan to mitigate
heavy congestion in the Hornby
business area.
A $15 million
new bypass is to
be constructed
through Waterloo
Business
Park.
As part of
this work, the
Mike Mora
Sara Harnett
NZ Transport
Agency plans
to upgrade the
intersection
at Barters Rd,
Pound Rd and
Main South
Rd to cater for
increased traffic.
Waterloo
Business
Park assistant
development
manager Joel Webber said it was
expected between 3000-5000
people will be working at the
park when it is completed.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora said while the
intersection would ease
congestion, the new bypass will
send trucks along Pound Rd.
PROBLEM SOLVED: Trucks will have an easy turn onto Pound Rd when a new bypass sends
them through the Waterloo Business Park. But residents will have to deal with an increase in
heavy vehicles daily.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
“If heavy trucks are coming
from the south going north, they
will either come up Main South
Rd at least to Carmen Rd, turn
left, and then head north.
“They won’t need to with this
new intersection at Pound Rd
and Main South Rd in place,” Mr
Mora said.
The current traffic volume on
Pound Rd is about 5500 vehicles
a day.
But Pound Rd residents said it
was hard to say how they would
be affected by the bypass.
Resident and Yaldhurst
Residents’ Association
chairwoman Sara Harnett said
there would definitely be more
noise.
“I hope there are not too many
big trucks going there but there
is certainly potential,” she said.
Resident Debbie Payne said
with Fulton Hogan Quarries
Canterbury down the road they
already had heavy loads going up
and down the road.
She said it would be great
when the traffic lights were put
in because the intersection at
Barters Rd and Main South Rd
was a nightmare.
A NZTA spokeswoman
said, as of November 1, 2016,
about 24,000 vehicles used the
intersection at Main South Rd
and Barters Rd each day.
She said there were 19 injury
crashes at the intersection of
Main South Rd and Barters Rd
between 2011 and 2015.
The project is planned to take
15 months to complete.
Along with the construction
of the bypass, stage 2 of
the Christchurch Southern
Motorway project has begun to
improve congestion problems for
motorists commuting between
Halswell and Rolleston.

bypass a good idea? Do you

Chance meeting leads to New York show
• By Annabelle Dick
ATTENDING a cousin’s birthday
party as a 14-year-old led
Southbridge’s Jayde Vivian to an
invitation to take part in one of the
world’s most coveted fashion events.
Jayde, now 16, has been handpicked
to walk in several New York
Fashion Week shows in February.
She’s only been modelling for two
years and never considered it until a
chance encounter at the party.
“THere was a girl from NZ Models
& Talent at my cousin’s birthday and
she came up to me and we got talking
and she said I should model. She
gave me the director’s card and it just
kicked off from there,” she said.
Now the Ellesmere College student
will walk for the world’s leading and
emerging designers like Vera Wang,
alongside exclusive models such as
Gigi Hadid.
She’s one of two local models to
be picked. Selwyn Times reported
earlier this month that Lincoln’s Jaime
Spencer, 20, will also walk in NYFW.

Zealand models who were chosen for
the opportunity through the Ozlink
Fashion Programme.
Said Jayde: “I can’t really believe it,
it will only feel real once I’m in New
York. I feel so privileged.”
THe pair will spend 10 days in
New York taking part in the major
international Amit Singh Chahaun
show, two boutique shows and two
realway shows.
THey’ll also get a city and studio
photo shoot with a professional
fashion photographer.
“Going from little old Southbridge
to New York is insane. If I got scouted
it would be incredible,” she said.
THis will be the first time she’s
travelled further than Australia, and
she says her parents aren’t too worried
to let her travel abroad in spite of her
age.
“THey’re really excited for me,
they’ve been so supportive,” Jayde
said.
While preparing for the New York
events, the year 12 student is also just
trying to get through schooling and
finish her exams.
“It’s been a wee bit tough but you’ve
just got to prioritise,” she said.
Jayde plans on studying business
after leaving school.
However, the pair both need to raise
funds before committing to the trip.
THe girls will be in New York from
February 9 to February 22.

PICTURESQUE: This historic mansion in
Darfield (above), and a Prebbleton home
(right), were among 100 houses from around
the country entered in the final of the
Registered Master Builders House of the Year
competition. However, neither came away
with a prize when results were announced
at a gala dinner in Auckland on Saturday.
The Darfield mansion, renovated by Craig
Brown Construction Ltd, was entered in the
Renovations Over $500,000 category and has
previously won one of two supreme awards in
the Canterbury regional final for House of the
Year in July. The Prebbleton home, built by
DNA Structures Ltd, was entered in the New

Police crack
down on
drink drivers
POLICE SAY they will be
carrying out more random patrols
on all Selwyn roads over the
Christmas and New Year holiday
period – and the booze bus will be
deployed in both rural and urban
areas.
They have partnered with the
district council and licensed
premises across the district in
a Christmas-New Year drink
drive campaign, saying motorists
should be prepared for checkpoints
and patrols anywhere, any
time.
The campaign encourages
drivers to plan a safe ride home
if they’ve had a few drinks this
holiday season. While many
people believed drivers who had
been drinking had a lower chance
of being stopped when they drove
on rural back roads, this was not
the case.
“Police will be active in Selwyn
operating check points and policing
the roads in an effort to ensure
that everyone is safe,” Senior
Sergeant Pete Stills said.
“Police encourage motorists to
plan to have a sober driver and,
if utilising licensed premises in
Selwyn, to make use of the courtesy
vehicles available.”

Bid to make better use of community space
• By Tom Doudney
SCHOOLS, CAFES and other
businesses could be utilised to
provide more community space.
The new direction has been
signalled in the Eastern Selwyn
Community Spaces Plan which
was adopted by the district council
on Wednesday.
A staff report which accompanied
the plan said New
Zealanders’ usage of space for
community activities was shifting
from the traditional community
halls to cafes, markets,
schools and other business and
public premises.
Most traditional community
halls were no longer fit for purpose,
inflexible, poorly equipped,
had unused capacity and were
disconnected from their surroundings.
“There is unrealised and
underutilised community space
outside of usual operating hours
in schools, cafes and other business
premises,” the report said.
“This [is] a step away from the
current model which is heavily
focused on providing more asset,
not necessarily concerning
TIMES CHANGE: New Zealander’s use of community space is shifting away from more traditional venues like Prebbleton Hall
(left), and towards other venues such as cafes.
itself as to whether that creates
‘waste’, or, whether the kinds of
community spaces intended to
be built will meet community
expectations and needs.”
Businesses making their
premises available as community
spaces outside of their normal
operating hours could potentially
be offered rates rebates or
might benefit by providing catering
services.
Mayor Sam Broughton said the
district council did not want to be
replicating facilities that already
existed in the community.
“The council has traditionally
had a lot of halls but people don’t
just meet in halls, they meet in
cafes all the time and schools
have facilities that can be really
good for community use,” he
said.
“It’s about working with people
who are open to the possibility
of their space being used. That
can be good for business if it’s in
a cafe and it means council is not
spending money doubling up.”
The plan calls for the district
council to make seed funding
available as a catalyst to activate
use of community spaces. Things
which might be funded could
include the development of an
online booking system, the
management of community
spaces and the introduction of
programmes, festivals, art and
functional landscaping.
The district council’s own
Rolleston headquarters would
be made available for after-hours
community use, starting at some
point during the next year, as a
way of leading by example.
Retrofitting some of the district
council’s existing ‘not fit for
purpose’ community buildings
would also be pursued.
Schools approached in Lincoln,
Rolleston and Prebbleton
had been open to further discussions
about their use as community
space, as had Lincoln
University.
Exciting times in store for Rolleston
District
councillor
Craig Watson
writes about
utilising older
buildings
when looking
at town
centre master plans
Shortly is it expected that
the Minster of Conservation
approves the transfer of reserve
status from Rolleston Reserve to
Foster Park. This will give some
drive to the implementation
of the Rolleston Town Centre
Masterplan.
That is exciting. Rolleston
can have a heart, a centre for
it’s community and even more
exciting it will help ensure that
Selwyn has a true retail, social,
sporting and supply epicentre.
I see Rolleston becoming
like Oamaru for the Waitaki or
Rangiora for the Waimakariri,
albeit on varying scales from
our regional friends. There will
always be a reason to head into
Christchurch, but hopefully less
reasons over time. Let us be an
independent Selwyn that I think
we can be.
We received an interesting paper
last week at council, entitled
The Eastern Selwyn Community
Spaces Plan, which you can find
on the agenda page on the district
council website. The paper
was commissioned to help us
shape our towns, it talked about
(among other things) creating
opportunities within existing
spaces.
That got me thinking. One
thing that the Rolleston Town
Centre Masterplan proposes is a
new Library/Community Centre,
one that is fit for the rapidly
increasing population in the
centre of our district. So what
about the existing Rolleston
Community Centre?
The current plan proposes
that the new centre will be on
a different spot within the new
town centre and the current area
becomes another commercial/
retail area, but do we want to
put up another shop or do we
want to repurpose the existing
building?
If we were to repurpose the
building what big picture (but
low cost) ideas could we come up
with? Well here are a few ideas
I have thought of to get the ball
rolling. Ideas that I think we are
missing in our fledgling community
or ideas that might have been
floated to me while campaigning
and of course some ideas that are
just plain left field ideas because,
as a new community, I think we
need to take a few risks to make
us stand out a bit.
So to get the discussion rolling
(remember this is early days and
I am just one councilor throwing
ideas out for the community to
consider and feedback on) here
are a few ideas to ponder and
debate.
How about a district museum
to celebrate our heritage, an
art gallery to celebrate our talent,
a youth facility to support
our growing 10 – 18 year old
population, an above ground
learn-to-swim pool to take the
pressure of the Selwyn Aquatic
Centre, a boutique movie theatre
or a community theatre for local
productions to feature the talent
of our district?
I am interested in knowing
what you think? Please send me

Road upgrade may
be fast tracked
• By Tom Doudney
THE UPGRADE of an unsealed
pothole-filled road in the
heart of Lincoln may be fast
tracked after its condition was
highlighted in the Selwyn Times.
West Belt, on the northern
side of Gerald St, is unsealed on
one side for about two thirds of
its length.
The district council had
previously said it would look at
upgrading it as part of its 2018-
2028 Long Term Plan.
However, district councillor
Grant Miller said he and other
local district councillors would
be pushing to get the work
scheduled as part of the 2017-
2018 Annual Plan instead.
“We believe it needs to happen
faster,” he said.
Asked if the work should have
been done already, Cr Miller
said: “It’s an easy shot to raise,
because certainly I believe it
should have been done, but what
we are charged with is actually
prioritising roads over all of
Selwyn.
“We have increased the budget
substantially and we want to get
roads like this done but we were
charged with looking at roads
all over Selwyn, not just Lincoln
or Rolleston, so other roads have
been higher up the priority list,”
he said.
“But that said, it’s not an
excuse, and it is part of our plan
to get it done and we will get it
done as fast as we possibly can.”
Deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall,
one of three Springs Ward district
councillors along with Cr
Miller, said he would support Cr
Miller’s efforts to get the work
on West Belt into the next Annual
Plan.
“In my long time on the council
there have been a number of
years that local residents have
asked for that to be sealed and I
am backing Grant in trying to
get it brought forward to get it
tidied up,” he said.
“It also means that it gives
us overflow parking for other
events and things that happen in
the community.”
District council property and
commercial manager Douglas
Marshall said budget discussions
on the next Annual Plan were
let to happen so he couldn’t say
at this stage how likely it was
that sealing West Belt would be
funded.
The fully sealed portion of
the road north of Gerald St was
partially funded by the owners of
The Laboratory bar and restaurant,
which opened about a year
ago, as part of resource consent
conditions around car parking.
Owners Martin and Lisa Bennett
paid about $75,000 towards
the overall cost ($230,000) of
sealing the road and building
a shared car park behind their
building, also used by Lincoln
Library and Lincoln & Districts
Community Care.

ECan opposes exploration
• By Tom Doudney
ENVIRONMENT Canterbury
has joined the Christchurch,
Auckland and Dunedin city
councils in opposing deep sea
oil and gas exploration off the
Canterbury coast.
Regional councillors voted
10-2 to submit in opposition to
the Government’s proposal to
open more than a quarter of a
million square kilometres of
seabed along New Zealand’s east
coast, including Canterbury, to
oil companies.
The vote came after a deputation
by Oil Free Otautahi and
climate protection organisation
350.org Christchurch.
Cr Peter Scott and Cr John
Sunckell voted against adopting
the submission, while Cr Elizabeth
Cunningham abstained.
The submission raised concerns
over the “very significant”
environmental risks related
to oil and gas exploration and
requested that the Government
give further consideration to its
commitments under the Paris
Agreement on climate change.
It also requested that if the
Government did go ahead with
the proposal, then full public
consultation should be carried
out. At present only local authorities
and iwi are able to make
submissions.
Cr Lan Pham (right), who
tabled amendments to the submission
which signalled ECan’s
opposition to the proposal, said
the 10-2 vote was heartening.

“In the past ECan had submitted
but hadn’t really taken a position
on it,” she said.
“Now we are saying ‘look it’s
our responsibility to protect our
people, our economy and our
environment’ and it’s through
basically sending this
message to the Government
that these activities
don’t constitute
a sustainable future that
we are actually representing
the people and
letting them have their
say through us.”
Oil Free Otautahi
spokesman Charles
Drace said the opposition from
ECan and the other councils
meant the Government must
take notice.
“For economic, environmental,
climate and moral reasons,
there is no alternative but to oppose
deep sea oil drilling in the
Pegasus Basin and hector’s and
SELWYN TIMES
maui dolphin habitat,” he
said.
Cr Sunckell declined to comment
on his reasons for voting
against the submission.
“I had a view but that’s the vote
so collectively that’s our position,
so I support our position,”
he said.
Cr Scott said his
opposition related
to the process of the
meeting rather than
the content of the
submission and in
hindsight he should
have abstained rather
than voting against it.
The district council’s chief
executive David Ward said it had
not considered the matter, therefore
it had no position. Selwyn
has about 40km of coastline,
extending from Birdling’s Flat to
the Rakaia River mouth, adjacent
to a proposed offshore exploration
area.

Change to school camp
plans doesn’t hinder fun
A CHANGE of plan due to the
recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake
in North Canterbury meant
West Melton School pupils spent
a planned school camp on the
outskirts of Christchurch instead
of the Marlborough Sounds.
The pupils had been due to
travel to Mistletoe Bay in the
Sounds but instead stayed at
the Omaka Scout Camp near
Sawyers Arms Reserve.
Taking part in the camp was
the pupils final William Pike
Challenge activity.
To complete the challenge,
pupils must participate in eight
outdoor activities, take up a new
sport or hobby and do 20 hours
of community service.
The programme was created by
William Pike, who, in 2007, was
one of two climbers caught in a
volcanic eruption on the slopes
of Mt Ruapehu.
As a result of his life
threatening injuries, his right
leg was amputated below the
knee and he required extensive
rehabilitation.
During the camp, the pupils
completed a difficult high ropes
course at The Groynes, which
they walked one and a half hours
from their camp to get to.
The pupils also went sailing
on Lake Roto Kohatu and, on
a day which was pouring with
rain, were given the challenge of
building a bridge across a stream
with tubes, a plank and ropes.
They spent their down time
playing games, rubber tubing,
exploring and feeding eels.
PACIFIC EXCHANGE: Darfield High School recently received a group of 16 students and three
teachers from its sister school in New Caledonia, College de Ouegoa. In 2013, the two schools
developed an exchange programme for junior students. The schools take turns visiting each
other in alternate years. During the five-day stay, New Caledonian students visited Castle Hill
(above), the Canterbury Museum, the Antarctic Centre and a sheep farm. They also went on a

Guido Schromges
Butcher brings a corner of
Guido Schromges owns the Deutsches Eck
German Butchery in Lincoln. He spoke to Tom
Doudney about the meaning of the shop’s name,
being robbed in South Africa and digging water
holes for elephants in Botswana
What does Deutsches Eck
mean?
Directly translated it means
‘German corner’ and it originates
from my home town where the
two biggest rivers of Germany
flow together and it has always
been called, in history, the German
corner or Deutsches Eck.
What rivers are those and in
what part of Germany?
That is the Rhine and Moselle
River and they come together in
Koblenz, that is 100km north of
Frankfurt.
What sort of differences
would people notice between
a German butchery like yours
and other local butcheries in
the Christchurch area?
I guess the produce range in
general, the looks of the products
and, of course, the ingredients
are much, much different
compared to the other butchers
because I don’t use any type of
fillers in the form of starch, gluten,
mechanically deboned meat,
colourings and so on.
What would be some of your
speciality products?
On the fresh sausage side,
there is the bratwurst, the traditional
German sausage – that’s
by far the best selling sausage.
And on the smoked side, it’s the
Polish sausage, which is actually
a garlic sausage. My bier sticks
are also very popular.
What led you to move to New
Zealand from Germany?
No, no, I am German, but I
lived in South Africa and then it
got a little bit too out of control
with the crime. I was four times
involved in an armed robbery
and I thought, ‘OK, it’s time to
leave,’ and 11 and a half years
ago I came to New Zealand as
a consultant to the meat trade,
working in Auckland for a local
company.
Over what sort of time period
were you robbed four times?
I would say in the space of five
years.
That would have been pretty
scary I would imagine?
WITH A SMILE: He’s lived in Germany and South Africa but butcher Guido Schromges has
called Lincoln home for 12 years and says he is here to stay.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Well, let’s put it this way – the
last one that broke the camel’s
back was somebody put a gun
behind my ear. They make you
kneel down and then you think
it’s time to move on, you know.
There was that experience and
then I started looking for opportunities
and New Zealand came
up because a company wanted
to introduce concentrated spices
from overseas.
What led you to move to
Lincoln?
The butcher’s shop that
I bought, that was the best
option for me. Lincoln has got
a high school, a university, the
research centre. So for me, as
a German butcher, it was the
niche marketplace because you
had lots of international people
at these schools, university
and research centre. I came six
months after the [February 2011]
earthquake.
Were you looking at
advertisements for butcher’s
shops all around the country at
that point?
Because I was working down
in Invercargill at the time, I was
looking down in that region
but it was hopeless, there was
absolutely nothing available that
suited the purpose.

Germany to Lincoln
How long did you live in
South Africa?
As a butcher, 20 years, as a
child, five years, so altogether 25
years.
You were born in Germany,
right?
I was born in Germany, but
then for five years in the 1960s
my parents moved to South
Africa. But then we moved back
to Germany, where I learned
the trade and everything and
what is connected to it. Once
I earned money, I went to visit
my school mates in South Africa
and then somebody offered me
a job that was too good to refuse
so I relocated in the middle of
the 1980s back to South Africa.
It was very easy because I had
permanent residence.
What was the job that was too
good to refuse?
Production manager of a South
African firm which specialised in
German small goods.
What part of South Africa
were you in?
Johannesburg.
Before the crime got the
better of things was that a nice
place to live?
Yeah, that was in the middle
of the 1980s, in 1984, and then
HOMELAND: Guido Schromges’ butcher’s shop Deutsches Eck
takes its name from the place in Koblenz, Germany, where the
waters of the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet.
the change over came and
everything was fine, but then
somewhere around 1999 or 2000,
I had the first bad experience
and then it continued and then,
in 2005, I simply said ‘that’s it’
and I left.
What was it that had led your
parents to move the family
there in the 1960s?
Better money. In the 1960s,
the money was basically the top
range in South Africa. My father
was a panel beater.
Do you travel back to
Germany much?
Due to the age of my parents,
I have gone every year and I will
continue to go back as long as
my mother is still alive.
Do you ever feel homesick for
anything in Germany?
No, it’s too long that I’m gone.
I’m happy here and I guess it’s
my final destination. No more
relocating. I’m here to stay.
I know football is a big deal
in Europe and a bit in South
Africa as well. Are you a
football fan?
Yes, I still check on the internet
results from Europe and the
English and German champions’
leagues, especially the German.
What’s your team?
Bayern Munich.
Have you seen them play?
Forty years ago I was once in
Munich to watch a game but
nothing recently.
How old are you now?
Fifty-seven.
What are your hobbies
outside of work?
Long distance running.
Did you used to do that
competitively?
I did, but once I got the shop I
stopped. I am still running on a
daily basis if I can afford it timewise,
but nothing major any
more. Not like the old days in
South Africa when I was running
one marathon after another.
Did you ever win any events?
No, in my age category, I won
a couple of prizes but I never
won any event. It was only my
age category that I came first,
second or whatever in a couple
of marathons.
Anything else you like to do
with your spare time?
The butcher’s shop keeps me
occupied and therefore I go
running just to switch off and, if
I’m on holiday, I like adventure
sports and, in Africa, I liked
wildlife.
You must have seen some
impressive wildlife over there?
Oh, well I travelled the
southern continent, every
country south of the equator I
have been.
What’s the most impressive
animal that you saw?
The best thing was in
Botswana, in the Okavango
swamps, digging water holes for
elephants. While the elephants
were watching, we were digging,
you see.
Did you have much
interaction with the elephants?
No, we kept the distance, or
they kept the distance. As soon
as we left the place they came
and sucked everything up that
collected in the groundwater
hole.
Was that a tourism
experience?
No, no. As tourists, we went
there and we knew the camp
owner so we gave him a hand.
That was a matter of coincidence,
it was not the way we planned it.

Projects underway
for local schools
Join the Selwyn Youth Council!
Applications for the 2017 Selwyn Youth Council are now open.
Youth Council members can encourage young people to participate
in local decision making and ensure that their views are taken into
account when planning projects that affect them, like town centre
works, local parks, pools, libraries and events.
Anyone aged between 14 and 24 who lives in Selwyn can apply.
Applications close Friday 9 December. For more information visit
www.selwyn.govt.nz or the ‘Selwyn Youth Council’ Facebook page.
Two new schools open next year and work is currently underway to improve connecting roads
and footpaths.
To prepare for the opening of Rolleston College in 2017, Broadlands Drive has been extended to
meet Springston Rolleston Road and a new roundabout installed at this junction. A new footpath
has been completed along Springston Rolleston Road linking the school to central Rolleston. This
work has been completed by the Council and contractors to the Ministry of Education. Rolleston
College’s location at Foster Park will allow the school to use the park’s playing fields and the
Selwyn Aquatic Centre.
Lemonwood Grove School will also open next year. Contractors to the Ministry of Education are
now working to seal East Maddisons Road between Goulds and Selwyn Roads. A new footpath
will also be installed along the road and kerb and channel work completed. The Goulds and East
Maddisons Road intersection will also be upgraded.
Additional work is also planned at West Rolleston School which will be funded by the Ministry of
Education and the Council. This work is planned to take place over the summer holidays and will
include developing new footpaths along Brookside Road and Dunns Crossing Road by the school,
installing more lighting, completing kerb and channel work and establishing a kea crossing.
Work also recently began to underground the water race on Tennyson Street between Byron
Street and Rolleston Reserve. This will allow additional parking to be developed along the road
and a new footpath to be created outside Rolleston School. Later work is planned to underground
the remaining section of water race to Lowes Road. This is part of a wider work programme for
the Rolleston Town Centre project to upgrade Tennyson Street and add attractive paving, street
trees, and parking. As part of the Rolleston Town Centre plan the Council wants to develop part of
Rolleston Reserve into a shopping area and location for a new library, with the remaining section
of the reserve redeveloped into a high quality urban reserve. Undergrounding the water race will
also allow a new roundabout to be installed at the Tennyson Street/Kidman Street intersection.
New kea crossings were also installed at Ladbrooks and Kirwee School this term, and a crossing
is also planned for West Melton School in the future. School students and parents operate the
crossing points, with the Council and Police supporting the establishment of the crossings. The
Council recently appointed a new School Road Safety Coordinator who will be working with
Selwyn schools on a range of projects.
Meet your Councillor – Murray Lemon
Murray is one of two Councillors in the Ellesmere ward, which covers Leeston, Southbridge, Dunsandel,
Doyleston and surrounding areas. He can be contacted on 027 541 3305 or by emailing murray.lemon@
selwyn.govt.nz.
What is your background?
I am a life long resident of Killinchy. I attended Leeston Consolidated School and Lincoln High School
before working on a mixed sheep and cropping farm. I then completed an Electrical Apprenticeship
with local Firm Nairn Electrical. For the past 30 years I have worked as an electrician including 11 years
as a self-employed contractor and employer. I also have a background in health and safety coordination
and apprentice training. I am married to Maree with three adult children.
How have you helped people in the past?
I have been involved in a range of community groups including
tennis, rugby and swimming committees, Ellesmere Lions, and
have been on Killinchy Hall committee for over 20 years including
10 years as Chair. I am also a trustee of Ellesmere Heritage Park
and have been a trustee of Leeston Consolidated School for nine
years (three as chair) and I am currently in my fourth year as Chair of
Ellesmere College Board of Trustees.
How would you describe yourself?
Politically I am an egalitarian with no formal connection to central
government political parties. I believe in equality of access to
opportunities for everyone. I think to effect change you must
engage with the community and become part of the process of
changing outcomes. I have a passion for family, education, rugby,
tennis, gardening and motorsport.
Cut grass so it’s not a fire hazard
Rain during October and November has meant there is lots of
growth around our district. Conditions are expected to dry out in
December, increasing the fire risk. If you have long grass on your
property, now is a good time to either mow it (see advice below
about suitable days) or graze it.
Over summer we will be using the Council website to issue advice
when the weather means the fire risk is extreme in Selwyn. The fire
risk varies day to day and when strong winds combine with hot
weather the fire risk becomes extreme. When this warning is issued
we recommend that you:
· don’t light outdoor fires and check that any previously lit fires are
fully extinguished
· be careful when operating outdoor machinery as a spark could
easily ignite. You should also be ready to extinguish a fire if needed
To sign up to receive extreme fire weather alerts via email please join
www.selwyn.getsready.net and select the ‘Fire Risk Alert’ option.
Fires can endanger lives and be costly. We encourage you to check
our website every day over summer and autumn to see if the fire
warning (which appears as the red banner below on our website
homepage) is in place and follow our advice if it is.
Warning – Extreme Fire Weather in Selwyn today
Join a Community Committee
Elections for community, hall and reserve committees are continuing
during November and December. If you have a couple of hours
available each month, then you could become a member of your
local community committee and be part of making decisions on
local parks, playgrounds, town beautification, community centres
and other issues that affect your area.
Upcoming triennial election meetings where committee members are
elected are included under ‘Meetings’ (opposite). More meetings take
place in February. If you are interested in joining a committee please
visit www.selwyn.govt.nz and come along to your local meeting.
On the roads this week
Sections of Milltown, Main Rakaia and Dunsandel Brookside Roads
will be resealed, with stop/go controls operating. Road marking will
take place in the Templeton, Darfield and Norwood areas with traffic
controls operating. Road repairs are planned on Telegraph Road
(between Courtenay and Bealey Roads) and road reconstruction work
continues on Deans Road, with traffic controls operating at both sites.
Footpath repairs will occur on Ellesmere Junction Road in Springston.
Work will be starting on Station Street, Manse Road and High Street
in Leeston as part of Stage 2 of the Leeston Stormwater Bypass and
a Manse Road upgrade. These roads will remain open during the
work with traffic controls in place as needed. Work will continue until
April 2017. Work is currently underway to underground the water race
on Tennyson Street. Stop/go traffic controls are operating, with work
expected to continue for the next month.
A section of East Maddisons Road is currently open to traffic in one
direction only. The turn from Goulds Road into East Maddisons Road
is currently closed, but access for vehicles travelling along East
Maddisons Road from Lowes Road to Goulds Road is open.

Halswell make final of
one-day knockout cup
HALSWELL WILL face
off against Hornby in the
final of the Chairman’s
Cup knockout one-day
cricket competition on
Waitangi weekend after
beating Merivale Papanui
at Edgar MacIntosh Park
on Sunday.
Merivale Papanui batted
first, finishing on 169/8
from 40 overs. Hunter
Rowe (2-20) and Leighton
Johnston (2-43) were
the best of the Halswell
bowlers.
Steve Golding then
starred for Halswell with

SOUTH ISLAND Super
Rugby supremacy will
be on the line again
this February when the
Farmlands Cup goes up
for grabs in a pre-season
match in Darfield.
Following on from the
success of the inaugural
Farmlands Cup fixture
hosted by the Highlanders
in Waimumu, Southland,
guiding his team to 170/5.
The result was
contrasted by the previous
day when Halswell lost its
Skilton Trophy one-day
match against Sumner at
St Leonards Park.
Halswell batted first after
winning the toss and got
off to a solid start, reaching
40/1 after 13 overs, but
then lost three wickets for
10 runs to be 50/4.
Blair Cotching then hit
three sixes and a four in a
quick 22 but, when he got
out, Halswell lost another
three wickets for five runs
to be 86/7.
in February, the Crusaders
will play host to their
southern neighbour at
the Darfield Domain on
February 4.
The Selwyn Times reported
in October that the
match was in the works,
but now the Crusaders
have made it official.
Crusaders chief
executive Hamish Riach
James Pearson batted
well to score his first senior
half century and pushed
Halswell to 185 with
Pearson being the last man
out on 65.
Halswell started well in
the field having Sumner
7/2 but the home side
batted very well, rotating
the strike and putting
away the loose ball to the
boundary, on the way to
186/4.
Dayle Eathorne (2-28
from eight overs) and
Johnston (1-12 from nine
overs) were the best of the
Halswell bowlers.
Crusaders confirm Darfield visit
said the event was a
hit amongst the rural
community last year
and they were thrilled
to have the opportunity
to continue the new
competition.
Farmlands shareholders,
local junior rugby clubs
and Crusaders season

the Prebbleton School team of Caleb Gourley, Adam Finnie, Daniel Marsh and Jonty Cook

First-time win thrills Tai Tapu bowlers
• By Karolyn Boon
TAI TAPU have won
Ellesmere Bowls’
Chatterton Cup
competition for the first
time in its 11-year history
Going into the last round
on Saturday there was still
a chance that Diamond
Harbour could take out the
competition.
But when Tai Tapu
trounced Leeston 2 by four
games to none in trying
conditions it gave them an
overall score of 54, ahead
of Diamond Harbour’s 49.
The win was a big reward
for the small club of 29
members that includes
social players. A factor in
the win is surely being able
to keep the same combinations
each week.
It is the first time that Tai
Tapu have managed to win
this trophy and they are
thrilled to do so.

Gardening
A water feature has many benefits
A WATER feature in the
garden gives a different
dimension and adds value to
your home.
Apart from it having a cooling
effect that is soothing for
the soul, the sound of gurgling
water has a meditative, relaxing
quality about it.
Water can enhance any garden
and when used effectively,
has the power to attract the
maximum attention compared
to any other garden feature.
In smaller gardens where
space is a constraint, water
is best used in conjunction
with a sculptured feature or a
fountain, or a little rock garden
which could easily be the focal
point of your little stretch of
paradise.
If you do happen to own a
bigger garden, a free flowing
pond could work wonders.
There is a lot you can play
around with, in terms of plant
and marine life that can add to
its visual appeal.
The added advantage being,
fish can get rid of the mosquito
menace. To increase the darkness
or depth of the colour
of water, you can dramatise
the effect by using dark, large
leafed evergreens.
The shape and style of your
water feature will be dictated
largely by the site itself and
whether you want to just get
wet and play with the family
or just add aesthetic appeal to
your home.
Style will depend on the
architecture of your house,
the shape and contours of
the site and the character and
dominance of the surrounding
landscape. Simple shapes
are usually the best for garden
ponds.
They generally look best,
cost the least to construct and
are the easiest to maintain. If
you are unsure about the shape
or size, consider consulting a
good landscape designer or
landscape architect.
The best way to decide on
construction materials is to
discuss their various merits
with experts in hydraulics,
pool contractors and friends
with existing pools. Initial
cost, ongoing maintenance
and visual appeal should all be
considered.
Once you’ve decided on
the kind of water feature you
want, you may need to decide
whether the water is flowing
or static.
EFFECT: Where space is
tight water is best used in a
fountain. Flowing water has
a relaxing sound.
In a pond it’s easy to achieve
moving water on a small scale
with a low voltage water pump.
Don’t forget to take into account
the safety factor for kids.
Another important factor you
should take into consideration
is the ease of cleaning and general
maintenance. If in doubt,
keep it simple.
A shallow sheet of reflecting
water can be as stylish and
far less work to keep looking
good. Shallow water and dark
colours are the key to good
reflections. Whatever its size
or style, a water feature certainly
makes the garden very
attractive, adding elements of
beauty, sound and reflection to
the landscape.

Plant Care
December is a great time to tend to your
beloved citrus plants and roses. Here are
some quick tips to get your plants in top
shape ready for the summer months.
Citrus Plants
Summer is a great time to fertilise your citrus trees.
Adding these vital nutrients will help them grow to
their full potential, producing juicy fruit for you to
enjoy. Intelligro Citrus Fertiliser is packed with all
the essential nutrients these plants require, with
extra potassium and magnesium which they need.
Citrus require more watering over the next few
months so make sure that you establish a regular
watering pattern. Give them a good soak every few
days rather than a light sprinkle each day. Keeping
the citrus well-watered will give them a better
chance of keeping insect pests and diseases at bay.
roses
Make sure you tend to your roses by deadheading
them regularly. This helps to promote new growth
and get more out of your plant. While you are at
it, give them some fertiliser
to help boost their growth
and give them the nutrients
required to produce their
beautiful blooms.
application:
Young - mid age bushes: Apply
100 grams per square metre
For well-established bushes:
Apply up to 200 grams per square metre. When
applying, sprinkle the fertiliser in a ring around
the stem of the plant. Ideally the ring will be
approximately 30cm away from the stem. Ensure
you water thoroughly after application.
While you’re at it…
If you have other plants in pots, containers and
hanging baskets, give them a feed of Intelligro
Topdressing Fertiliser. This will help give them the
nutrients they need to keep flowering, or producing
fruit for you. Don’t forget to give them a good water
afterwards! If you are wanting to add some colour
to your garden you can plant these now; begonias,
petunias, impatiens, calendula, and dahlias, to
name a few.
Add some organic compost to your garden beds to
give them a much-needed boost. Finish off with a
5-10cm layer of bark to help keep the weeds down,
as well as retain moisture in the soil.

Staff shuttle service
reduces traffic on main road
A shuttle service provided by dairy company Synlait
removes an estimated 360 cars a week from SH1/
Main South Road, one of Canterbury’s busiest roads,
improving road safety for all users of the road.
Introduced on August 1, it provides employees with
a free daily round-trip shuttle service from Rolleston to
Synlait’s Dunsandel site, 50km south of Christchurch,
several times in the morning and evening.
A new 50-seat coach, which arrived on November 10,
will replace a temporary coach, which has operated for
the last three months.
“Everyone home safe, every day, is our number-one
priority. Our shuttle service supports this focus by
reducing traffic on Main South Road (SH1) and also
has a positive impact on the environment,” managing
director and CEO John Penno said.
“Many of our employees live in Christchurch,
Rolleston and the wider Selwyn region. Initiatives like
this improve road safety not just for our team, but for
everyone on the road.”
On average, 72 cars are removed from Main South
Road throughout each weekday,
particularly during peak morning
and evening traffic times.
The environmental benefit* is
estimated to be the equivalent of
planting 1255 trees, or eliminating
25 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions, a year.
Mr Penno noted the figures would
increase as more employees took
advantage of the shuttle service.
“Our team has almost doubled in
the last two years to more than 430
people. With our next growth phase – a three-year, $300
million programme – underway we’ll continue investing
in our team,” he said.
Synlait’s transport partner, Hilton Haulage, operates
the shuttle service and oversaw the delivery of the new
coach.
“It’s a great coach that will make the round trip even
more comfortable and relaxing for employees. It’s been
a rewarding project and is just one example of how we
partner with our customers to achieve an exceptional
result,” CEO of Hilton Haulage Scott Crampton said.
Synlait acknowledged that support from both Hilton
Haulage and Selwyn District Council made the shuttle
service possible.
*Figures based on Monday to Friday shuttle usage
since August 1, 2016. Average car emissions calculated as
206.649 CO2 grams / km (9 L / 100 km efficiency) and
coach emission calculated as 885.7 CO2 grams / km (34
L / 100 km efficiency). Average tree absorption of CO2
calculated as 20.3 kg of CO2 / year.
From pig farmer
to top accountant
A Leeston accountant has
recently been awarded the
Massey University prize of
Top Accountancy Graduate
for 2015.
Lay
Associates
accountant Simon Dunlop
also received the prestigious
Dean’s Scholar Award for
2015, one of only 15 Massey
business graduates who
average A-grade or higher,
out of a pool of about 11,000
business students enrolled
at the Massey Business
School.
Accounting was not
Simon’s first career – he comes from
a farming background, where he
spent his earlier working life heavily
involved in pig farming. Having
a keenness for the analytical side
of the farming business prompted
him to commence further studies,
culminating in the attainment of
his Bachelor of Accountancy from
Massey.
Simon works as an accountant
in Leeston for Lay Associates and
is studying towards his Chartered
Accountancy qualification. He also
supports his wife Lynne with her
accounting needs in her business,
Leeston Pharmacy.
Michael Lay, Director of Lay
Associates says he is lucky to have
someone of Simon’s calibre on the
team. “He brings maturity, a strong
background in agri-business and
an outstanding academic record.
What more could you want for a
rural practice. Simon’s academic
achievements are outstanding.
“Our team has a great record
of academic achievement, Justine
Caunce completed her accounting
diploma whilst working at Lay
Associates and also topped the class
with and A-grade or higher pass
rate. It’s great to be surrounded by
good people.”

Funding allocated to
control conifer pest
Environment Canterbury has announced
the way new funding for wilding conifer
control is to be allocated and administered
in the region.
Since the Government’s announcement in
June that $16 million would be allocated to
a national four-year programme, a Wilding
Governance Group has been formed to
provide oversight of an expanded control
programme for this significant pest plant.
The group has allocated just over $5
million nationally to the programme for
2016/17, of which nearly $3 million goes to
Canterbury.
Environment Canterbury chief executive
Bill Bayfield said this allocation level
illustrates the extent of the problem in the
region.
“There is much to be done to protect
farmland, water yield and iconic landscapes
from this invasive pest,” he said.
“With another dry summer in prospect,
reduced water yield caused by wildings
becomes an issue, as does increased risk of
fire.”
Environment Canterbury regional leader
biosecurity Graham Sullivan, who sits
on an operational advisors’ group to the
governance group, said prioritisation of
infestations would guide control work in
the first four years.
“Like other councils in affected regions,
Environment Canterbury acts as coordinator
on behalf of the Government,” Mr
Sullivan said.
“Over the next year we will implement
six control programmes, with total
combined funding of just under $4 million
covering nearly 900,000 hectares, as well as
participating in a large Waitaki programme
with Otago.”
The areas to be covered are all inland,
and extend from Craigieburn in North
Canterbury to Godley and Four Peaks in
the south. In order of total funding allocated
(size of management area in brackets) the
six priority areas are:
Craigieburn, North Canterbury - $2m
(53,750)
Lewis, also North Canterbury around
Hanmer, $581,000 (295,900)
Hakatere, Mid Canterbury, $383,000
(180,260)
Godley, Mackenzie Basin, $379,000
(137,260)
Porters, North Canterbury, $366,000
(189,740)
Four Peaks, South Canterbury, $148,000
(40,140)
Mr Sullivan said this co-ordinated
national approach was an encouraging
start towards containing the spread of
Canterbury’s worst pest plant.
“Last year $1.2 million was spent on
wilding control in Canterbury and just
under $12 million nationally. However, this
was insufficient to deal with the scale of
the issue. Wildings are spreading at about
90,000 hectares a year, equivalent to nine
average-sized high country farms.
“The current initiative is the first phase
of a programme that will hopefully lead
to a sustainable long-term management
plan. First we are looking for increased
prevention and control; reducing the area
currently invaded; co-ordinated, more
cost-effective control and prevention;
information gathering; and early control
action and support.
“Early action to prevent seeding is crucial
if we are to get on top of the problem,”
Graham Sullivan said. “Landowners,
community groups and government
agencies all have an important part to play
if we are to be successful - both now and in
future.”
Left uncontrolled, wilding conifers are
predicted to:
- spread across 20 per cent of New
Zealand (the equivalent of Canterbury and
Marlborough combined) within 20 years,
costing the economy more than $1.2 billion
- cover nearly six per cent (1.8 million
hectares) of the country’s total land area
- cause the loss of native ecosystems and
species extinctions and threaten large, open
mountain landscapes that define the South
Island high country
- impact historic and tourism landscapes,
reduce water yields from catchments and
increase wild-fire severity
- potentially increase the cost and
complexity of developing pasture and
commercial forestry.

MY PRIDE & JOY
A barrel nose
pick-up
SELWYN TIMES
Steve Evans
and the almost
complete 1938
Barrel Nose Pick
up.
Steve Evans enjoys restoring old motor
vehicles. These have included his wife’s
1960 Chev Impala Sports Coupe and more
recently a 1938 Ford Barrel Nose Pick-up
Truck owned by his friend, Grant Magson.
“I first saw the pick-up when I was helping
Grant on his farm. I offered to buy it but
Grant said that because the truck had been
his father’s he would never sell it,” explains
Steve.
Four years ago, Steve suggested to Grant
that they restore the truck. While keen,
Grant lacked the time so asked Steve if he
would take the project on.
The name Ford Barrel Nose Pick-up came
from its oval shaped grille with it having the
nickname ‘barrel front’ or ‘beer barrel pickup’
in the United States.
The 1938 model was revolutionary in its
cab design, instrument panel, pick-up bed
and alligator bonnet that was hinged at the
back and opened at the front in contrast to
the side opening earlier models.
The pick-up has been a farm vehicle and
done military service at Burnham; seconded
during the war to replace military vehicles
shipped overseas with the troops.
The truck had its original flat head V8 85
horsepower engine and three speed manual
gearbox but other parts were missing.
Its original seats had been replaced with
drawers stowed underneath for lambing tail
rings and farming equipment.
“As the pick-up was dropped off on our
driveway, the chassis smashed in two.
Otherwise, its condition was fairly original
including its running cable brakes,” advises
Steve who says that Ford went to hydraulic
brakes in 1939.
“When cable brakes are set correctly and
the pedal is pushed down hard, these big
brakes will put you through the windscreen,”
adds Steve.
Steve commandeered an original seat
base from a dilapidated pick-up cab he had
bought his wife for their 10th (tin) wedding
anniversary. A seat kit was purchased
from the United States along with an exact
reproduction kitset of the deck.
The original windscreen frame had rotted
out and the jail bar driver’s door needed
replacing with a legitimate 1938 door. Even
a 1939 model door was not suitable due
to it not being the same inside, something
typical of other parts such as the grille and
dash which are also unique to the year of
manufacture.
Steve’s father, Colin rebuilt the engine
and driveline and his brother David
resurrected the chassis from four worn out
chassis sourced locally, a task made easier
as the Barrel Nose Pick-up had the same
chassis from 1936 to 1939.
Steve estimates that the 1938 Ford Barrel
Nose Pick-up has taken well over 800
hours to restore, which is not surprising
given its condition when it arrived.
“Deciding to restore the truck stemmed
from my friendship with Grant as well
as a desire to see the pick-up returned to
its former glory, however it’s now time to
finish some of my own projects,” he says.

the rebuilt engine in the truck.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
Remember your motor vehicle
Long distances and holiday motoring often go hand-in-hand.
If travelling north this season, it is likely to
be a longer trip and may involve negotiating
earthquake damaged roads.
With the heavier traffic and potential for
metal surfaces or single lanes in places, your
vehicle will be working harder for longer
so it will need to be up to the job, with a
properly functioning cooling system that
will not overheat. After all, it is no fun being
broken down on the side of the road with
a car full of children, especially if it is a hot
sticky day.
It may be that there is nowhere to pull over
should your vehicle become problematic,
while finding an automotive outlet open
over the holiday period may be a challenge
and involve travelling even further. You will
also not want to be stopped by the long arm
of the law and end up with a fine because
the warrant has expired.
These are all good reasons for playing it
safe and booking your vehicle in for a check
before the Christmas rush; something that
is especially worthwhile if your vehicle will
be towing a trailer or caravan.
“Even with a current warrant of fitness,
a motor vehicle may not be safe for a long
trip,” explains Simon Wilson, owner of
Rolleston Diesel & Petrol.
Simon reminds that a warrant of fitness
inspection is carried out on a particular
day however general motoring can affect a
vehicle. An example is the effect on a car of
it shaking about when driven on damaged
roads, something that is common in and
around Christchurch or how hitting a
pothole can put a wheel out of alignment.
Rolleston Diesel & Petrol carry out
safety checks on cars, trucks, four-wheel
drives, motorhomes, business vehicles, jet
skis, boats, motorbikes, tractors, ride-on
lawnmowers and horse floats.
They look deeper than is required for a
warrant of fitness, checking the mechanical
side of the vehicle, the oil and water,
pressure and condition of all tyres and
brakes (both front and rear discs). Their
inspection covers what is under the bonnet,
including the transmission or gearbox oil,
and the underside of the car, to ensure that
all is working as it should.
Assisting Simon in this work is his new
mechanic, Alan Calder who has recently
joined Rolleston Diesel & Petrol.
“Alan has been in the trade since he was
a young fellow so has many years under
his belt in servicing and repairing motor
vehicles,” says Simon.
To book your vehicle in for a safety check,
phone Simon or Alan on 03 347 7110 or
email: simon@rollestondieselandpetrols.
co.nz. They will do their best to
accommodate you.
Rolleston Diesel & Petrol can be found
at 839 Jones Road, on the Izone side of
Rolleston. They are open: 7am-5.30pm,

Operative Status of Private Plan Change 47 –
Resource Management Act 1991, Selwyn District Plan
Plan Change 47 relates to M J Stratford’s request to rezone Rural (Inner Plains) land
to Living 3 at 631 Shands Road, Prebbleton.
The Council decision to approve Plan Change 47 was publicly notified on Tuesday 4
October 2016. No appeals on this decision were received by the Environment Court.
Therefore the provisions of the District Plan that relate to Private Plan Change 47
are operative. These provisions will become operative on Friday 9 December 2016.
This notice is made in accordance with Clauses 17 (2) and 20 of Schedule 1 of the
Resource Management Act 1991.
The Selwyn District Plan may be inspected during normal working hours at Council’s
Service Centres and Libraries at Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston, and at
www.selwyn.govt.nz
www.selwyn.govt.nz
Maintaining Property Frontages –
Water Races and Drains
Selwyn District Council would like to remind property owners that when
maintaining frontages where a water race or drain is present, the following good
practice should be followed:
· If overhanging vegetation needs trimming, remove trimmings from the channel to
prevent blockages
· Grass provides stability to channel banks and prevents slumping and collapse.
Please don’t spray vegetation on any bank – instead weed eat if necessary
· Spray only the bottom of drains when water is not present
· Talk to Council and seek approval before undertaking any planting on drains or
water race banks
For further advice on maintaining frontages near drains and water races please
contact the Council on 347 2800 or 318 8338.

Building blocks to
a new home
As Cantabrians continue to move forward, when building a new
home, here’s a reminder to pay attention to some of the fine
details...
Anyone intending to build a new home
should have the builder’s contract
checked out by an experienced lawyer.
A payment schedule can also
minimise financial risks. Issues that
you may have to deal with include:
the deposit, guarantees and warranties
If you want to compare building
companies, it’s important to get down
to finer details such as how many
power points there are per room, the
type of windows you are having or
which paint finishes are included.
Questions to ask
builders include:
• Do you have a completion guarantee
and how does it work?
• Is there a loss of deposit
guarantee?
• Is the company a
Registered Master Builder
and does it use thirdparty
written guarantees?
• What is the schedule for
payments?
• How are the deposit and
progress payments
administered?
• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust
fund?
• Will the master franchisor complete
the build if the franchisee goes out
of business
• What are the exact specs?
• Are the prices fixed?
• What is excluded from the build?
• Are there any restrictions on
driveways or any other connections?
• Can you speak with clients who
have just completed a build?
Do your homework before you decide
on a building company and you will
have a less stressful time once the
building process starts.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Staging a property
Staging is a relatively new technique in presenting a house for sale
where furniture and furnishings are used to enhance an empty house.
The practice of staging is not new. A decade
ago exceptional properties may have been staged
however, in the last five years, this practise has
increased.
Many real estate agents are proponents of
staging, believing that it assists people to visualise
how their lives would fit within a house they are
viewing. Seeing nice furniture in the home can
also lead to a buyer making a quicker decision,
translating into a reduced time that a house is
on the market due to a wider group of people
showing interest in securing the property.
“People buy what they see. If they see a nicely
dressed house, they can envisage themselves and
their furniture in that environment,” says Mike
Goatley from Rolleston’s One Agency.
“If a house is empty at the time of sale, a
smaller portion of the market will find it easy to
compare the area of each room with the size of
their own furniture and visualise how it would
look in the space.”
According to Mike, a staged property creates
more interest with more buyers thinking: ‘Yes
that’s me.’ This leads to the potential for more
competition and a better sales price.
Research conducted in the United States
supports this theory and while hard to quantify,
the belief is that staging could lead to a sale price
ten times greater than the cost of staging.
“Staging a house, generally puts a property into
the sell zone, ahead of an empty property even
where the latter is as good as or offers more,”
adds Mike.
Karen Askew has been staging her own
properties for ten years and for the last five years
has operated home staging businesses, X Factor
Home Presentation and more recently Signature
Styling.
“The challenge is to understand how particular
furniture and furnishings can add to a house,
changing the perspective of room size to make
it look larger,” explains Karen. “With an older
house the eye will focus on imperfections rather
than what the room could be. Staging minimises
this.”
Karen emphasises that staging goes beyond
colours and styles. While these are important, it
is more about providing the person walking into
the room with a possibility.
“The premise behind auctioning a house
is to get people emotionally involved so they
will compete to win the property,” says Karen
“Staging also provides an emotional connection.”
While most of her work is with empty houses,
Karen also advises people on how to de-clutter
their homes while adding in key pieces to present
the house to its best advantage. Sellers regularly
tell her that once they see their house staged, it
looks so good they often wish they were keeping
the property.
“We create an atmosphere that they didn’t even
realise could be created,” adds Karen.
