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 


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.”

SELWYN TIMES 

More people, more schools 

•From page 1 

“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. 

THe pair are two of three New 

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.

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

Renovations Over $500,000 category and has 

previously won one of two supreme awards in 

the Canterbury regional final for House of the

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 


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 


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 


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.

place awards, two second place 

awards and two third place 

awards. 

We had two teachers attending 

the ceremony – Mr Prisco and 

Miss Newton. 

They said they enjoyed the

done to all who won a prize. 

Awards, certificates and prizes 

were re-presented to pupils at our 

school assembly on Friday. 

AGILE: Lisa, Bella and Emily on the high rope course at The

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

Our People 

SELWYN TIMES 

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.

LEESTON-Southbridge haVE 

advanced to the Canterbury 

Country Premier one-day 

final after defeating Lincoln by 

22 runs in their semi-final at 

Leeston Park. 

Leeston-Southbridge will meet 

Sefton in the final at Rangiora’s 

Mainpower Oval on December 

18. Sefton booked their spot after 

defeating Southbrook by 78 

runs. 

Batting first Leeston-Southbridge 

were struck an early blow 

with the loss of opener Josh 

Lensen in the first over. 

However, it was the batting 

side that took control from then 

on with Toby Doyle and Harry 

Chamberlain combining for a 

199-run second wicket partnership. 

Doyle stayed unbeaten 

throughout the whole innings, 

finishing on 102 not out as 

Leeston-Southbridge finished on 

241/3 from their 45 overs. 

Lincoln’s reply got off to a 

steady start through openers 

Richard Clark and Jake Schwass 

who got the score through to 22 

after five overs. Lincoln then lost 

three wickets for just seven runs 

SELWYN TIMES 

Leeston-Southbridge through 

to final after close match 

and found themselves having to 

rebuild at 29/3. 

All-rounder Jeremy Benton 

glued the Lincoln innings together 

with an inspired knock of 

103 from just 110 deliveries. 

However, with the next best 

individual score just 22, he struggled 

for partners during the run 

chase. 

Lincoln were eventually dismissed 

for 219 in the 44th over. 

Right-arm fast bowler Harrison 

Cox did the damage for Leeston- 

Southbridge, taking six wickets 

for 28 runs at an average of 4.67. 

POWER: Leeston-Southbridge’s Harry Chamberlain smashes a 

ball through the covers off the bowling of Arthur Patterson. 

PUT AWAY: Lincoln’s Reuben Craw bowls short 

outside off-stump to Toby Doyle. Doyle scored 

102 not out. 

STRAY THROW: Lincoln’s Jeremy Benton 

reaches out as he backs up a throw at the 

wickets.. 

GOOD 

TECHNIQUE: 

Lincoln’s Nico 

Lern stopping 

the ball in the 

outfield. 

IN FLIGHT: Lincoln’s Jeremy Benton bowling to 

Leeston-Southbridge’s Harry Chamberlain. 

FULLY COMMITTED: Leeston Southbridge’s 

Toby Doyle puts his body on the line to slide 

home. 

GET FORWARD: Leeston-Southbridge’s Morgan Jeffery comes 

forward to a full delivery. 

LEAN INTO IT: Leeston-Southbridge’s Toby 

Doyle players a beautiful shot through point on 

his way to a century.

HITTING OUT: James Pearson scored 65, his first senior half century, in 

Halswell’s loss to Sumner on Saturday.

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 

the bat; his 71 not out 

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 

ticket holders will be able 

purchase early tickets.

CHAMPIONS: The Ellesmere College team of Ben Smith, Ben Legg, Nathan McKenzie and 

Ben Michael (left) won the boys’ tennis competition at the Canterbury Primary Schools’ 

Summer Tournament recently. Ellesmere College also won the boys’ cricket competition, 

with manager Jack Dawson and players Nathan Chalmers, Jared Poole, Caleb Webber, Sam 

Dawson, Brae Hamilton-Currey and Oliver West (above middle) taking the title. Meanwhile, 

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

612 pupils from 24 schools compete in softball, tennis, golf, kiwi tag and cricket. 

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. 

Colin and Steve Evans after mounting 

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, 

Monday-Friday, or Saturdays from 8am- 

12noon for warrants only (closed public 

holidays). You can also check them out on

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

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.

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.
