Fallen mates
in John’s
thoughts
• By Tom Doudney
AT 15, John Carr felt “very, very
lucky” stepping ashore in Belfast,
Northern Ireland, after the sinking
of his merchant navy oil tanker,
The Stratford in the Atlantic
Ocean during World War 2.
Now 92, and Templeton RSA’s
oldest returned serviceman, Mr
Carr’s thoughts will drift back to
those years and his fallen comrades
on Anzac Day.
He remembers well the night
in September 1940 when his ship
was hit by a torpedo while travelling
in a convoy on the way to
Jamaica.
“It was about midnight, we were
asleep in our cabin and there was
an almighty thud which woke us
all up. I looked out of a porthole
and I saw a reflection of flame and
I thought it was another merchant
ship in the convoy but it was us
on fire because we had oil bunkers
and we had been hit there,”
Mr Carr said.

Speed
limits
could be
changed
• By Tom Doudney
THE SPEED limits on Selwyn’s
roads will be reviewed over the
next six weeks.
The review will cover all district
council-controlled roads but
exclude the state highways, which
are controlled by the New Zealand
Transport Agency.
Weedons Residents Association
chairman John McKim made
a deputation to Wednesday’s
district council meeting to express
concern on the condition of
Maddisons Rd and the speed of
vehicles using it.
He was informed that the possibility
of reducing the speed limit
on the road from 100km/h to a
lower speed, potentially 80km/h,
would be looked at as part of the
review.
Weedons Reserve Committee
members and Templeton
residents have also expressed
concern about Maddisons Rd
recently.
Mr McKim said he was pleased
a speed limit reduction would be
looked into.
“Within [the last] four months
we have had four fairly serious
accidents,” he said.

THE JOHN Carr’s of this world
have seen and experienced things
many of us hopefully will never
have to.
Seventy-six years ago John’s merchant
ship was torpedoed during
the early stages of World War 2.
Not everyone on board survived,
but John, then 15 made it to the
safety of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Now 92, he is the Templeton
RSA’s oldest returned serviceman.
Reporter Tom Doudney interviewed
him (page 1) and reports
back that John is a cherry bloke,
looking forward to another Anzac
Day next Tuesday.
John went on to join the Royal
Navy and saw action right through
to the end of the war, which of
course was a great relief.
“We were still alive, that was the
thing. We had come through it.”
That says it all.

Rolleston to get 24/7 policing
• By Tom Doudney
SELWYN’S POLICE presence
will be boosted in the next 12
months with the Rolleston
police station to be staffed 24/7
and extra officers to be based
there.
For the first time a senior
sergeant will also be based
permanently in the district, at
Rolleston. Currently Senior Sergeant
Pete Stills,
based at Hornby,
overseas police
operations in
Selwyn.
Rolleston will
be one of the
first 20 towns
Lane Todd
in the country
to receive extra
resourcing to ensure a police
officer will be on patrol and on
call at all hours of the day.
The news came as part of
Police Commissioner Mike
Bush’s announcement on the
Government’s $500 million
Safer Communities package on
Wednesday. The package included
a target of having 95 per
cent of New Zealanders within
25km of patrolling police 24
hours a day.
Commissioner Bush also revealed
how many new staff would
be allocated to each region, with
70 heading to Canterbury.
Canterbury metro commander
Superintendent Lane
Todd said police wanted to provide
enhanced services for rural
communities and Rolleston
would help deliver on that.
“We see this as a huge benefit
not only for the community
but also in enhancing our rural
capability,” he said.
Rolleston’s growing population
and the potential for increased
crime had also been a
factor in the decision.
Currently there are eight officers,
including two sergeants,
based at Rolleston, and three
officers each at the Darfield,
Lincoln and Leeston stations.
Officers work daytime hours
during the week with some late
night shifts over the weekend.
Superintendent Todd said
it was not known at this stage
how many extra officers would
be based at Rolleston and it was
yet to be decided who the senior
sergeant would be.
The plans were for the Rolleston
station to begin operating
24/7 within the next 12 months,
the senior sergeant appointed
within the next six months and
the other new officers on the
beat by Christmas.
It was not known whether

police
station will

including

operations
within the next
12 months.
any additions would need to be
made to the station to accommodate
the extra staff.
Senior Sergeant Stills said
staff were already being called
out to a number of after hours
incidents and having officers
on duty 24 hours would be an
advantage.
“It’s often crashes or traffic
incidents, stock on the road, or
family harm matters,” he said.
Selwyn MP Amy Adams said
the changes at Rolleston were
welcome news.
“This will give our community
more confidence that help is on
hand, and will ensure fewer victims
of crime in Selwyn,” she said.
In Brief
ART GALLERY GRANT
The group behind a proposed new
community art gallery in Leeston
has been granted $20,000 by the
district council to go towards the
first year’s lease. The group had
been seeking $30,000.
DAIRY AWARD FINALIST
Hororata farm manager Kerry
Higgins has made the finals of
the annual New Zealand Dairy
Industry Awards. Mr Higgins, 32,
is a finalist in the dairy manager
of the year category.
SUBDIVISION
A planning hearing for an
application by Omana Trustee
Ltd to subdivide land in Rolleston
will take place at the district
council headquarters on May 24.
The company wants to create 191
residential lots by subdividing
land on Branthwaite Drive and
Lincoln Rolleston Rd.
KIRWEE RESERVE
A proposal to irrigate Kirwee
Reserve using the Central Plains
Water Scheme, when Stage 2
is completed, was approved at
Wednesday’s district council
meeting. The reserve is currently
irrigated from the township water
supply, sourced from underground
wells but exceeds its
allocated amount under Kirwee’s
water metering system.

acism experiences
nspire speech
AN ELLESMERE College
student who observed racism
after moving from the
Philippines to New Zealand has
earned a place in the semi-finals
of a national race relations
speech competition.
Fylgia Romero, 16, secured
her semi-final place after taking
part in the North Canterbury
regional heats of the annual Race
Unity Speech Awards competition
run by the Human Rights
Commission.
She was one of two from those
heats selected for the semi-finals
in Auckland on May 12. If she is
successful there she will be in the
final the following day.
In her speech, Together With
You Aotearoa, Fylgia said she
believed that people could fight
racism through acknowledging
but understanding the differences
that we have, and that
changes could only be made by
showing love.
“Love is the extraordinary
kind of ordinary,” she said.
Fylgia was born in the Philippines
in the highly urbanised city
of Cebu which has 2900 people
per square kilometre, compared
with Selwyn’s 6.9 people per
square kilometre. She moved to
Ellesmere in 2013. Her father is a
dairy farm worker and the move
was in search of a better life.
Since the move, Fylgia has
experienced some low level bullying
in the form of comments
about Asians, while family members
have experienced workplace
racial discrimination. These
personal experiences, together
with those of her friends were
inspiration for her speech.
Fylgia hopes to pursue a career

Fallen comrades remembered
•From page 1
“Two people in the engine
room were killed outright and we
took to a lifeboat. It was very, very
cold.”
Some of the crew were suffering
from hypothermia by the time
they were picked up a few hours
later by a naval vessel.
In May, 1943, when he was 18,
Mr Carr joined the British Royal
Navy with which he served for
the remainder of the war.
In April, 1945, his naval party
landed in Ostend, Belgium, as the
Allies pushed towards victory.
“We stayed in Holland for a
while and fed the children, they
were starving to death, and we
went right through to Germany.
Our object was to take the Blohm
& Voss U-Boat yards in Hamburg
which we did because we thought
the Russians might have been
coming down the Elbe river and
taking all the secrets of the Germans,”
Mr Carr said.
“We were successful, we got all
that, and I stayed in Hamburg for
nearly two years after. I was in
Hamburg for the Armistice Day
and all that.”
He remembered the end of the
war as a great relief.
“We were still alive, that was
the thing. We had come through
it.”
After the war, Mr Carr and his
wife emigrated from the United
Kingdom to New Zealand and he
joined the newly formed Royal
New Zealand Navy.
Anzac Day still meant a great
deal to him.
He said it was important that
the children of today were aware
of what they had been fighting for
– freedom and democracy.

THE FLOW: The waters of the Selwyn River crept back over
formerly dry gravel following recent rainfall.
Selwyn River flowing
under SH1 bridge
SIGNIFICANT rainfall in recent
weeks has seen the Selwyn/
Waikirikiri River flowing under
the State Highway 1 bridge again
– a rare sight during the last three
years which have been dominated
by drought.
Strong currents in the
headwaters allowed the river
to flow about 30km across the
plains.
By the start of last week, more
than six billion litres of water
had flowed down the river, with
around five billion of that seeping
through the gravels and into the
groundwater system.
Environment Canterbury expects
the river to dry up again in
the next few weeks but this flow is
expected to make it easier for the
river to fill up again with smaller
rain events in autumn, winter
and spring.
ECan says the increased flow
is good news for the health of
the river and if it leads to the
headwaters fully reconnecting
with Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere
it could help any eels in the flood
flows trying to make their way to
the sea.
Speed limits could change
•From page 1
“There was one in which a car
hit a telegraph pole and caught
fire and another one which
involved two cars and with one
of them the only thing you could
tell was that it was blue – it was
virtually impossible to work out
what sort of car it was because it
was so badly damaged.”
Mr McKim said the road was
too narrow to support so many
vehicles going at 100km/h and it
was in poor condition due to the
high usage.
He had
recently borrowed
some
speed measuring
equipment
and clocked
cars travelling
down the road
Sam
Broughton
at more than
120km/h and B
train trucks going
110km/h.
“The road is just getting ripped
to pieces,” he said.
Mayor Sam Broughton said it
was important that the district
council took into account the
thoughts of residents who lived
on roads, not just the motorists
that used them.
“We want an efficient network
and being able to travel at

100km/h is important for people
who need to get places but taking
road safety, the width of our
roads, the appropriateness of
heavy trucks and the numbers
on a particular roads certainly
needs to be taken into account.”
Mr Broughton said
roads between Selwyn and
Christchurch were often the
ones where speed limits were the
greatest concern.
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills
said changes made in 2015
when speed limits were reduced
from 100km/h to 80km/h on
Shands Rd and others around
Prebbleton appeared to have
reduced crash numbers, based
on anecdotal evidence.
“We will support anything
which enhances safety and
reduces risk,” he said.
“Maddisons Rd is now a far
more popular route with cyclists
than it has been in the past.”
While there is no set date for
any changes proposed through
the review to be decided on, the
matter is expected to come back
to the district council some time
this year.

June Burney
Making music and baking biscuits
Lincoln resident June Burney is heavily involved in the community through music
and the local farmers and craft market, of which she is a committee member. She
spoke to Tom Doudney about her cookie business, the song she wrote after the
February 2011 earthquake and the loss of community spirit which led to her move
from England
When did you start your
business, June B Cookies?
Probably about four years
ago. It really started because
in the early stages after I came
to New Zealand I was really
ill and developed a lot of food
intolerances, so as a result I
had to cook everything from
scratch and this is a recipe I
developed as a treat for myself.
My husband, Ian, used to eat my
cookies so I thought ‘why not
make it available to other people
who have similar intolerances to
myself?’
What do you think led you to

develop those intolerances in
New Zealand?
I think I had always had them
to a limited extent but when I was
really ill with endometriosis and
lost heaps of weight the intolerances
blew out of all proportion
really. Before I left England I had
an operation to remove an ovary
and according to the consultant
I saw when I came to New
Zealand, he said that possibly
exacerbated the situation. Environmental
factors can aggravate
it so we try and be as healthy as
possible now.
What led you to move from
England?
We were just looking for a new
life and to bring up our daughter,
Amy, somewhere that we could
really enjoy ourselves. We felt
that in England it was becoming
very commercialised and community
spirit was declining and
everybody was so busy and we
wanted a bit more of a relaxed
way of life.
If you’re looking for a place
with community spirit, Lincoln
is a good place to be I guess.
Yes, most definitely this is
home now. We just became citizens
a few months ago.
Must be nice knowing Immigration
can’t suddenly boot you
out now or something.
Yes.
How long have you been in
New Zealand?
Just approaching 10 years now.
You’re a musician too, how
long have you played music?
I have always played music. I
played the keyboard and was in
swing bands in my teen years and
in my 20s I sang a little bit and
played keyboard with my father
as a duo and then rekindled it
(music) since I have come to New
Zealand.
You put out an album a few
years ago, didn’t you?
I did one CD as well as playing
at private functions and lots of
community events that I’ve been
involved in and I’ve run a couple
of community projects.
SMALL CHANGE
MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE
Twice a year we clear the Community Fund collection boxes at
Christchurch Airport and share the money across the community.
Kiwi dollars, international currency, small change from your cup
of coffee, plus a top-up donation from us, all add up for local
charities and community projects.
Drug-ARM Therapeutic Art group is a weekly meeting of people
wanting to make or maintain changes in their drug and/or alcohol
use. Two DrugARM staff members (pictured) support clients to use
art as a way of abstaining from alcohol and drugs. Christchurch
Airport proudly supports Drug-ARM through the Community Fund.

all part of the community spirit
I did a project called Sing Your
Heart Out Christchurch just after
the earthquakes to bring people
together and uplift them through
music and I did one to commemorate
the anniversary of the
start of World War 1. Now I’m
working on a community project
in Selwyn in July where I am
pulling together quite a few Selwyn
community groups involved
in music to do this concert.
Tell me more about that.
It’s going to be held at Lincoln
High School on July 22 and it’s
going to be called A Celebration
of Screen and Stage. There are
groups such as the Kirwee Players,
the Ellesmere Pipe Band, the
Selwyn Community Choir and
quite a few of the duos and solo
artists from Selwyn are going to
work with me on this project. I
just thought it would be a great
idea to bring together people
from different musical styles in
one concert from the community
of Selwyn.
How will it celebrate screen
and stage?
The type of songs that are
going to be performed are the
likes of music themes from
James Bond and numbers from
Hairspray and The Full Monty, so
movie themes, TV themes and
songs from musicals essentially.
PACE OF LIFE: June Burney and her family (husband Ian, left, and daughter Amy centre) moved to New Zealand for a stronger
sense of community and better work life balance. In 2011 she recording her earthquake recovery inspired song Like the Phoenix
from the Ashes (right).
Tell me about the CD you put
out.
That was probably in about
2011 and it was called Love and
Inspiration. The reason I did
the CD really was prompted by
the fact I wrote a song about
people coming together after the
earthquake. On that song in the
recording studio there were quite
a few local children from Lincoln
and two other people I knew
from Selwyn who came and sang
on that.
What was that song called?
Like the Phoenix from the
Ashes.
Do you play music at the Lincoln
Farmers and Craft Market?
Occasionally.
You’re a committee member
of the market too, when did you
first get involved with it?
Probably about eight years ago.
We became involved because
my husband and I like to be
creative and we do photography
and produced a range of photographic
cards of local scenery in
New Zealand, so we joined the
market. As I’ve said we have this
passion for community spirit
and we think it’s an important
thing to maintain in any community,
so along with the other
committee members we try to
keep that going by organising
special community events as well
as the standard market days. We
want people to see the market as
a place where they can socialise
and meet and have fun as well as
buy local produce and crafts.
Why do you think England
has been losing that community
spirit?
I just think people are too busy
working really and I think the
focus is a lot more on money and
paying your mortgage and obviously
everybody has to do that
but I don’t think you should lose
sight of why you are making the
money – so you can have a good
life.
How old is your daughter?
She is 17, in her last year at
Lincoln High School.
Does she like it here or does
she miss England?
She is definitely an adopted
Kiwi, she very much likes living
in New Zealand. She likes the
outdoor life and she is also very
involved in the community too.
She helps out at the market and
is involved in the Lincoln Envirotown.

Environment
Canterbury looking
at ways to limit on
farm irrigation use in
the catchment of the
Selwyn/Waikirikiri
River, which saw
record low flows in
summer
Most irrigators in the
Selwyn catchment source
their irrigation water from
deep, confined aquifers.
These aquifers are, by
definition, separated from
the uppermost, unconfined
aquifer by an impervious
layer, usually clay. In
theory there is little or no
transition of water between
aquifers.
The lack of flow in the
Selwyn River is a manifestation
of the pressure on
the uppermost, unconfined
aquifer. It follows that the
best chance of improving
Selwyn River flows is to increase
recharge and reduce
pressure on the unconfined
aquifer.
We can’t do much to increase
rainfall, but if water
from the Central Plains
scheme were available it
could assist with recharge.
Similarly, the district
council is progressively
shutting down water races
- could this water also be

available, along the lines of
the Hinds’ aquifer recharge
trial?
In terms of reducing
pressure on the unconfined
aquifer, it is informative
to consider the number of
shallow wells that are in
use now compared with 20
or so years ago.
The short answer is that
there are many, many more
people and businesses
taking water from both
deep and shallow wells
than there were back
then.
It would only be
acceptable for irrigators to
face cutbacks if all these
other users were obliged to
accept similar cutbacks.

Liffey delivers the bugs
MORE THAN 500 different
types of plant and animal were
counted in Lincoln’s Liffey
Stream and domain when the
Lincoln Envirotown BioBlitz
was held recently – and the
numbers continue to rise.
Hundreds of people, including
many children took part in
the event.
A BioBlitz is where the community
and local scientists get
together to find out how many
different species can be found
in 24 hours. The 24-hour clock
was started ceremonially by
the ‘Bug Man’ Ruud Kleinpaste,
who had brought a few
very large weta to climb over
some young admirers.
There were also displays,
talks, walks and activities for
the public to get involved in.
About 20 people investigated
the small organisms living in
the Liffey Stream with the help
of Lincoln University’s Waterwatch
team and Lincoln High
School’s sustainability council
students.
A total of 534 different species
were identified in the 24
hours, but many more will be
identified from samples taken.
During the last Lincoln
BioBlitz in 2009, 1642 species
were found at the final count.
This time there was more than
double the number of fungi
found last time and a long
finned eel more than 70-yearsold
was found.
The event was ceremoniously
concluded with the clock
stopped after 24 hours by
Mayor Sam Broughton.
This event wouldn’t have
happened without support
from many volunteers including
those from Lincoln Envirotown,
Lincoln University and
Lincoln High School, as well
as the scientists who donated
their time and equipment. The
scientists were from Plant and
Food, Landcare Research, the
Department of Conservation,
Lincoln University and Canterbury

Broadfield-based business Red
Band Drainage is celebrating
its 10th anniversary
Certified drainlayer Brent Millar and
his wife Natasha are thrilled to be
marking 10 years of operation after
launching their business in 2007 to
provide residential, commercial and
rural drainage services for their local
area.
The two original staff from the first year
are still there, “This tells us we have a
safe and happy working environment,”
says Brent. “We adhere to the highest
standard of health and safety as we
want our staff to get home safely to
their families after a day’s work. Our
staff are the backbone of our business
and treat it as if it was
their own, therefore we
find this is reflected in
the finished product of
any job we do.
“Red Band Drainage
doesn’t believe in down
time, which is why we
have the latest, most wellmaintained
machinery
and technology to get
Natasha & Brent Millar
any task that’s thrown at us done to
the best possible standard.
“There are not many problems that
our clients come to us with that we
can’t fix. We don’t believe in putting
any job in the ‘too hard’ basket.”
The company is run as two gangs,
Brent says.
“One team predominately looks
after new housing – they will start
a residential house in the morning,
installing all sewer, stormwater, power,
phone, fibre and water and backfill the
same day.
“This is greatly
appreciated by all our
clients as it does not hold
up any other trades. The
other team looks after
anything commercial,
alterations to existing
properties, septic tank
installation and any
other issues that may
pop up.”
Brent and the team of Red Band Drainage
Red Band Drainage has trucks available
for hire when they are not required by
the company.
The team at Red Band Drainage covers
town and country right across the
Canterbury region. They offer free,
no-obligation quotes for any job. Call

LAwyERS
Queen of camouflage
Mike
Bowie is an
ecologist who
specialises in
entomology
(insects and other
invertebrates). Each
week he introduces a
new species found in
his backyard at Lincoln.
His column aims to raise
public awareness of
biodiversity, the variety
of living things around
us
KATYDIDS ARE bush
crickets or grasshoppers
with long antennae and
can grow to 30-40mm
long.
New Zealand has one
native species known as
Caedicia Simplex or Kiki
Pounamu which is also
found in Australia.
They are vegetarians
and their leaf green colour
and shape with leaf-vein
wing patterns make them
hard to see in your garden.
What can often give them
away is their light chirping
in evening or warm nights.
The unusual name
comes from the call of an
American species which
went ‘Katy did, Katy
didn’t!’ The New Zealand
katydid sounds more like
a ‘zip-zip’ or ‘scissor snip’
sound.
Eggs are laid between
March and June on vegetation.
The younger nymphs
do not have the tent-like
wings but have wing stubs,
and are usually green.
•Specimens collected
by Mike Bowie will be
logged online at http://
naturewatch.org.nz.
This is a place where
you can share what
you see in nature, set
up a citizen-science

to load photos of your

EXPERTISE: Landcare Research ecologist Colin Meurk sharing the natural history
of the plains and his knowledge of planning a native plant restoration project.
NEW
BEGINNINGS:
The Plantout
tour visited
a hillside
restoration
project in
Tai Tapu, six
months after
planting.
Ecological restoration in Selwyn
A RECENT tour of properties
at Hororata and Tai Tapu
highlighted ecological
restoration efforts across
Selwyn.
The Te Ara Kakariki Greenway
Trust, which aims to bring
pockets of native plants back to
Selwyn between the mountains
and the sea, holds its annual
Plantout tour to show people
that planting natives alongside
productive farmland is a good
idea.
About 40 people attended the
tour which visited restoration
sites on three privately-owned
properties in Hororata and Tai
Tapu, as well as Tai Tapu Domain.
The tour always includes talks
by ecologists. This year Colin
Meurk from Landcare Research
spoke about native plants and
how to plan a restoration project.
A number of farmers who have
been planting annually for a
number of years also shared their
insights about site preparation,
maintenance, and which plants
were doing really well.
One of the Hororata landowners,
Tony Edwards, said a few
years back he was hesitant to
start planting but now he wanted
to do more each year.
Some of his plants were now
taller than him only three years
after planting and were starting
to really change the landscape.
“Why wouldn’t I want to
spend time amongst these native
plants?” Mr Edwards said.
There are various funding programmes
which can be applied
for through the trust, including
the Community Environment
Fund (Ministry for the Environment)
and the Selwyn Natural
Environment Fund.
•Anyone looking for advice
and support can contact the
trust via its website www.
kakariki.org.nz
Planting natives
Key suggestions for landowners interested in planting natives
on their property include:
•Seek advice for appropriate plants for your soil type and
micro climate.
•Have a restoration plan that starts with planting more
shrubs, and wait until there is some cover before planting
the larger podocarp trees.
•Take a long-term approach, planting a few hundred plants
every year, therefore not getting overwhelmed by maintenance
of competitive weeds.
•Reduce the ‘edge effect’ by making wider strips of planting
to insure higher survival rates and a better size of habitat
for birds.
•Choose eco-sourced seeds from this region - request this
from your plant nursery. This should ensure your plants are
well adapted to your environment.

Build your next home
with Artisan Homes
Your local registered Master Builder
Home building is as much about understanding the
landscape and the client as it is the plan and the
materials. From our office in Rolleston, Canterbury our
small company has built a huge range of homes that are
distinctive, stylish, durable and cost-effective.
From clever, compact homes to three bedroom townhouses
to large scale, expansive country style homes, our work
spans all types of house building.
Since 2004 we have carefully built, among other things, a
reputation for constructing high quality houses.
An artisan is someone who is highly skilled in a particular
expertise, a hands-on craftsman – someone who is
passionate about the quality results they produce.
With decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes
have worked in all areas of residential construction. There
are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom
home compared to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our
overall approach remains the same.
While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted
home building we also are renowned for getting the right
result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult
access, looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of
life for us. All our tradespeople are qualified and registered
or licensed. Our abilities to design and build a range of
houses have increased over the years, as has our skill and
overall capacity. While we don’t have the franchises of our
larger competitors we do have their networks and buying
power. Which means our clients receive the most costeffective
results possible.
At Artisan Homes, our passion is building homes for
people who appreciate the work that goes into what will,
ultimately, be a home they love to live in.

Stormwater funding change
One of the issues we are consulting on in our Annual Plan is
whether we should introduce a district-wide rate for stormwater to
replace existing township stormwater rates. The rate would apply
for properties which pay a stormwater rate currently in areas where
the Council manages stormwater. Currently stormwater charges
vary by township based on the cost of providing a local service.
In 2015, we changed from local township rates for water and
wastewater to standard charges per property.
The proposed standard district-wide stormwater rate is $85. A
national benchmarking exercise was recently undertaken comparing
the $85 charge for Selwyn against a dozen similar sized New
Zealand councils, with the $85 charge coming out as one of the
lowest for stormwater. The rate for townships if local stormwater
rates are retained are shown below.
Want to share your views on this issue? See the Annual Plan
information below on how to make a submission.

Another issue we are consulting on in our Annual Plan is whether
the Council should create a new health hub in Rolleston.
Research undertaken in 2014 and 2016 showed that although
Selwyn residents generally had good access to health care,
there were some gaps in services with people having to travel
to Christchurch for appointments with some health providers or
other service agencies. As our population grows, the need for local
services also increases. The proposed Health Hub would help to
meet these needs, by providing a place where health and social
service providers could operate from.
Under this proposal the Council would build a facility on Council
owned land in Rolleston which could be leased to health
professionals, not-for-profit groups, social service agencies and
as commercial office space. The facility would be independently
managed. The project would be an investment by the Council and
would be expected to provide a return within around three years.
On the roads this week
Road resurfacing will take place on Dalethorpe, Downs, Hoskyns and Hudsons Roads, Ayers,
Woodward and Fuller Streets. Stop/ go traffic controls will operate at all sites. Road repairs will take
place on Minchins and Coleridge Roads with traffic controls operating.
A sewer line is being installed on sections of Hamptons, Shands and Selwyn Road to the intersection of
Springston Rolleston Road. There may be a reduction down to one lane on these roads.
Work to complete road repairs from a burst water main is planned at the Tennyson, Byron and Kidman
Street roundabout from Tuesday 18 – Friday 21 April approximately. Detours will be in place.
Christchurch Southern Motorway extension
From Monday 17 April the sections of Weedons Ross Road between State Highway One and Jones
Road, and Weedons Road between State Highway One and Levi Road will be closed both ways to
traffic. A closure is also be in place on Weedons Road from Main South Road through to Levi Road. The
closures are to allow cables to be laid as part of the Christchurch Southern Motorway extension project.
Detours will be clearly sign-posted. Both closures will be in place up to 5 May.
Reduced speed limits continue to be in place along State Highway One north of Rolleston where four
laning work continues.

Reduce fire risk on your property with good design
The Council recently invited property owners in the Port Hills to a meeting looking at reduce the risk of
fires affecting this area. In dry conditions rural, lifestyle and hill property owners across the district can
all be affected by fire. There are a range of strategies you can look at to reduce fire risk on your property
and home including your choice of plants and landscaping, maintenance of lawns, gardens and
paddocks and ensuring emergency services can access your property. One of the main ways you can
reduce the fire risk to your home is to create a safety zone around your home by removing flammable
material like woodstacks, long grass, tree branches and rubbish.
The autumn/ winter time is a good time to consider making changes around your home in preparation
for next summer. For advice on reducing fire risk please visit www.selwyn.govt.nz.

Jones takes South Island
modified sprint title
• By Warrick Korstanje
SPRINGSTON driver Courtney
Jones capped off good recent
form by winning the Circle
Track Racing Association South
Island Title in the modified
sprint class at Ellesmere
Speedway.
Jones had put in a lot of
promising runs leading up to the
event but had not had the final
bit of luck needed to win.
However, she put in one of her
best performances at her home
track to win the South Island
title.
With the field boosted by four
Riverside Speedway cars, Jones
had some work to do.
A fifth in the first race was
followed by a win next time out
and in the feature Jones used
the last five laps to build up the
momentum and find the most
suitable track line to complete
the winning pass on Ben Gilmore
on the final turn.
Kate Warren kept the women
to the fore, finishing third in the
feature.
Mini stocks saw the Driven
By You class dominated by Glen
Redmond. Against 13 other
drivers, Redmond secured the
title with three race wins. Nic
Ross collected enough points to
take second place ahead of Paul
Archbold.

to visit Rolleston
SELWYN TIMES
NEW ZEALAND’S youngest Rio
Paralympian William Stedman is
to give Selwyn children a school
holidays highlight.
Double bronze medalist
Stedman (men’s 400m T36 and
men’s 800m T36) will visit Sport
Canterbury’s Active Kids holiday
programme at Rolleston on April
26 at 11am.
Stedman, 17, will bring his
medals, join in on the morning
athletics session, challenge the
kids to a running race and talk
about his career path into the
world of Paralympics.
Sport Canterbury Active
Kids manager Jules Wilke said
children would have the chance
to ask Stedman about his performance
at the 2016 Rio Paralympic
Games.
“William will lead the athletics
‘run, jump, throw’ session and is
looking forward to meeting kids
who, much like himself, started
out with dreams of representing
New Zealand,” Wilke said.
Stedman is known for his
remarkably quick ascent to international
competition.
“William was inspired in 2012
watching the London Paralympic
Games from a trackside seat as a
12-year-old fan from Cashmere
– that’s where the dream began,”
Wilke said.
Stedman returned to Christchurch,
made a commitment to
training and, within four years,
earned two Paralympic medals of
his own at the age of 16.

Sport club jumps at chance
to bring basketball to Selwyn
• By Tom Doudney
BASKETBALL WILL be the
next sport offered to Selwyn
residents by the newly-formed
Waikirikiri Sport club.
The club was formed last year
to bring hockey and other sports
to the district.
It is already taking registrations
for hockey
and will have
teams playing
from next month.
Waikirikiri
Sport head of
basketball Craig
Craig
Crawford
Crawford said
the club aimed
to have teams
entered into the
2018 Canterbury basketball
competition.
There are no basketball clubs
currently based in Selwyn in
spite of a growing number of
children wanting to play the
sport. At present they can only
play through their school or by
joining a Christchurch club.
“The need for a basketball
club [in Selwyn] is to take the
interest of juniors and youth and
give them somewhere to play as
they develop into seniors,” Mr
Crawford said.
“The great thing is there are so
many good facilities out here for
basketball with the high schools
IN DEMAND: While schools and high schools in Selwyn offer
basketball, those wanting to play for a club have to travel to
Christchurch.

and the local gyms, the community
facilities going in – there
are plenty of places to play.”
Waikirikiri Sport president
Lyndal Marshall said the club
was happy to be able to give
more Selwyn residents the
chance to play another sport.
“There will be other sports
coming in future as well, we’re
just trying to give more people
the opportunity to play sport
locally,” she said.
The club has confirmed Lyttelton
Port of Christchurch sponsorship,
which will go towards
court hire and uniform costs

Sharp price for Subaru Impreza
• By Ross Kiddie
THIRTEEN YEARS ago I guided
an acquaintance into a new car, it
was a Subaru Impreza and it was
a car which was priced at $25,000
with four-wheel-drive and 2-litre
engine.
My friend still has that car and
it has now travelled fault-free over
200,000km, scheduled maintenance
has been the only service
cost.
I remember writing at the time
how much of a bargain that car
was, and if finances at the time
had allowed, I may well have purchased
an Impreza as well.
Well, nothing has changed, I
still can’t afford a new car and
now Subaru has another new Impreza
available at a budget price.
For just $5000 more than the new
price in 2004, the new-generation
model represents amazing value,
and it is stacked with value features,
items which you wouldn’t
ordinarily expect in a budget car.
The new generation model gets
Eye-sight driver assist technology,
a camera-based system which is
linked to adaptive cruise control,
lane departure warning, precollision
assist and pedestrian
avoidance. Other features for
comfort and convenience include
automatic stop-start as a fuel
saving measure, keyless entry and
SUBARU IMPREZA: Stacked with value features..
ignition, Apple Car Play and Android
Auto capability, along with
the usual features modern cars
include as a matter of course.
The new Impreza still has
the traditional 2-litre, flat-four
(boxer) engine. It has been
developed to a point where it is
state-of-the-art in terms of power
outputs, emission control and
fuel efficiency. In terms of figures,
the quad-camshaft unit is rated
at 115kW and 196Nm, while a
6.6-litre per 100km/h (42mpg)
combined cycle fuel usage average
is claimed by Subaru.
That works well with the
8l/100km (35mpg) figure showing
on the comprehensive trip
computer, along with a 5l/100km
(56mpg) instantaneous figure
cruising the 100km/h legal limit
(engine speed 1600rpm).
Drive is channelled to all four
wheels through a continuously
variable automatic transmission.
Not only does the four-wheeldrive
system alleviate the fear of
grip loss on loose surfaces, there
is a lot of natural grip supplied on
the seal, the Impreza has handling
ability which is unrealistic for this
class of car.
In the first instance, grip is supplied
by 205/50 x 17in Bridgestone
Turanaza tyres, and even
though they aren’t Bridgestone’s
sport specification rubber, the
tyres have prodigious grip. If you
add in a flat and controlled body
• Price – Subaru Impreza,
$29,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4460mm; width, 1775mm;
height, 1480mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1995cc, 115kW, 196Nm,
continuously variable
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.3sec
• Fuel usage – 6.6l/100km
balance and drive channelled
constantly through to all wheels,
the handling balance is biased
towards sporty.
That comes without the springs
and dampers being overly firmed,
ride quality is still paramount to
the Subaru way of manufacture.
I took the test car on a loop that
took in both sealed and unsealed
surfaces and I’m pleased to report
that for what would be deemed
an everyday family sedan, the Impreza
imparts a sporty handling
sensation.
Power is directed freely through
the transmission. In this form
the Impreza doesn’t get the
turbocharging system of its WRX
stablemates, but it is an honest,
punchy engine. I’ve written many
times how much natural torque
horizontally-opposed engines develop,
and the Impreza’s naturally-aspirated
unit is a honey.
However, first and foremost,
the Impreza caters for the family
unit. While sedans are fast losing
popularity, I’m still a bit of a fan
and I’m quite smitten with Subaru
product; together I’d be sold on
the Impreza in this form.
On-board comfort is high and
space for three rear occupants
isn’t compromised by compact
exterior dimensions. Up front the
seats are body forming and have
a vast range of adjustment and, as
you would expect from Subaru,
the controls fall easily to hand.
Subaru’s line-up isn’t extensive,
but the company is far more than
a global niche market player. All
of the models offered here are
functional and practical, each
designed for a different role. The
Impreza is there to tempt as an
entry level car into the brand.
Just like my friend, those who
do choose to buy Subaru will be
rewarded with reliability, functionality
and a high level of safety,
much of the latter attributed to
the stability and grip four-wheeldrive
offers.
You’d had better be quick,
though, from what I’ve heard
through industry sources the
Impreza in this form is only available
in limited numbers and is
selling fast.

New cell phone tower
proposal welcomed
A rural health leader says she is “absolutely
thrilled” digital service providers and rivals
Vodafone, Spark and 2degrees are joining
forces to help with rural broadband.
Rural Health Alliance Aotearoa New
Zealand (RHAANZ) chief executive
Michelle Thompson says it is heartening
that the three companies are working
together for the common good so rural
people and isolated communities will
benefit.
Spark, Vodafone and 2degrees have
submitted a joint proposal to build and
share 520 new cellphone towers that would
provide 4G mobile and home broadband
and cellphone services to rural areas.
The plan would see the area of New
Zealand that was covered by mobile
services increase by a quarter and would
extend mobile coverage to another 1200
kilometres of state highway.
Ms Thompson says rural people need
excellent access to modern communication
systems as it would increase access to their
health and social services, enhance their
rural lifestyles and enable profitable rural
business communities.
“Rural communities depend on reliable
and high-quality broadband and mobile
connectivity to operate productive
businesses, attract and retain employees,
maintain social connections and increase
access to high quality health and social
services,” she says.
“Rural New Zealand has black spots
which are risking lives and their livelihoods
and also posing a serious safety hazard for
tourists, residents and migrant workers
as they travel around remote and isolated
areas.
“It’s election year and we want the
government to promise us that all rural
medical facilities will be connected to
fibre-like speeds by 2019. We want to have
multiple carrier mobile coverage on all state
highways by 2019. We want 99 per cent of
the population with more than 50Mbps by
2020 rather than 2025.
“It’s not much to ask and we pay taxes just
as people in cities do. I’d really like to pay
tribute to Vodafone, a strategic supporter of
RHAANZ, and the other digital companies
Spark and 2degrees for supporting our
rural connectivity priorities.
Rural New Zealand is the population
equivalent to New Zealand’s second-largest
city, and rural people live and deal with
endless pressures from all aspects of rural
life, Ms Thompson says.
Fluctuating international markets,
increased business and environmental
compliance requirements, dramatic
weather and climatic events, increased
financial and personal costs of accessing
education, and poorer access to health
and social services all take a toll on the
wellbeing, and vibrancy of rural New
Zealand, she says.
“For years, government, agribusiness and
industry corporates have made decisions
about the viability of their services in rural
New Zealand. The resulting gradual decline
in many rural health, social, education
and agribusiness services has eroded the
social and commercial structure of rural
New Zealand. Better connectivity will be
safer and more productive for everyone in
remote rural areas,” she says.

Medical science a way to approach
river health, paper advises
Medical science and practice has developed
over millennia. The framework used to diagnose,
treat, monitor, and prevent disease provides an
excellent template for river management.
Cawthron Institute freshwater group
manager Dr Roger Young has published
a paper advising there is much to be
learned from the medical practice when
considering ecosystem management.
“This paper draws parallels between
managing and improving human wellbeing,
and the way we should approach river
health.
“Medical science and practice has
developed over millennia. The framework
used to diagnose, treat, monitor, and
prevent disease provides an excellent
template for river management,” Dr Young
says.
In the paper River doctors: Learning
from medicine to improve ecosystem
management it’s recommended ‘river
doctors’ first gather information about a
river, provide a diagnosis, apply treatment,
follow up with regular monitoring and
recommend prevention based on what has
been learned.
According to Dr Young, this approach
would be a significant improvement on
current ecosystem management.
“New Zealand rivers would certainly
benefit from better diagnostics and
monitoring,” he says. “Currently, we know
when something is wrong with a river,
but it’s difficult to pinpoint what exactly,
and there’s very little post-treatment
monitoring, so it’s hard to know what is and
isn’t working.
“We should also take into account the
importance of technology. The medical
profession makes use of the latest
technology and at Cawthron we’re applying
new tools, such as environmental DNA and
drones, to river management.
“We need more of this, combined with
good environmental education, to reduce
the risk of river illness,” Dr Young says.
The paper is the result of an international
collaboration between Prof. Arturo Elosegi
from Spain, Prof. Mark Gessner from
Germany, and Dr Young.
The freshwater ecologists spent a week
working together at the Leibniz-Institute
of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries
in Germany. Here they workshopped the
idea that the medical profession’s approach
to human health could hold the key to
understanding and improving ecosystem
condition.
“As a freshwater scientist, I’ve been
encouraged by the public interest in New
Zealand’s rivers. This interest is important,
because it will take a combined community
effort to improve our river health,” Dr
Young says.
This work was partially funded by
the NIWA-led rehabilitation of aquatic
ecosystems programme, funded by the
Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment.
Cawthron Institute provides world-class
freshwater science with expertise in river
health assessment, catchment management,
and water quality.

Fashion colours in
home furnishings
There is plenty of colour choice for home interiors
however, once chosen stick to your theme.
For a comfortable feel, earthy natural
colours and textures in sepia tones of clays
and soft sheepskin beiges complimented
by muted pastels are ideal. Alternatively,
contrast ethereal greys with yellows,
cobalt, soft blues, violet, purple or pastels
like peachy pink, rose, or mint.
Earthy brown-based taupes, greens
and greys offer a composed effect.
Layer these as a backdrop for furniture
pieces, cushions, runners and artwork
that incorporate, soft blue greens, teals,
magenta or touches of gold. Soft aqua
walls trimmed with darker shades will
also set-off contemporary furniture.
A traditional atmosphere will come
from regimental and uniform colours
like black, navy, tan and deep greens. Lift
these with brighter colours.
Black and white combinations are also
still in vogue. Try contrasting white with
dark greys or deep blues, rather than
black. They will attract the eye and make
a statement.
Neutral colour schemes are enhanced
with a painted or wallpaper feature wall.
It will not dominate and will provide a
degree of separation in open plan areas.
Choose the wallpaper then the paint for
the other walls, door trim, skirtings and
accessories, drawing the colours out of the
wallpaper or blending with it.
For a décor that reflects confidence
and vibrancy, choose more dramatic
colours like greens, bluer greens, yellows,
pinks, oranges, mandarin red and violet,
individually or together. These may be
within wallpaper on a feature wall or
one-off pieces such as a patchwork chair,
paisley cushions, throws, vases, or wall
hangings.
Colour of the year is purple for fashion
wear and home interiors. It signifies
strength and stability while softer violet
is modern and sentimental. Both work in
the rooms we play in and those we relax
in.
Contrast ethereal greys with
colours such as soft blues.
Earthy natural tones create a
comfortable feel.
Violet is modern and
sentimental.
More dramatic colours can be

A good time
for pruning
fruit trees
Autumn is traditionally pruning time
where spindly thin, criss-crossing, dead or
diseased branches are removed and trees
shaped so breeze and light get through.
This assists pollination and fruit ripening.
The tree’s height or width may also be
trimmed back for easier harvesting.
Pruning should only be carried out in
dry warm conditions so the tree’s wounds
are not exposed to disease and fungal
spores in the air so winter is generally not
a good time to prune.
Stone fruits like cherries nectarines,
peaches and plums or blueberries, are best
pruned late summer or early autumn after
fruiting.
Some dwarf apples and apricots have
been bred to not need an annual prune
while other apples and pears will like a
good clipping.
Plants like Chilean guavas, feijoas, figs
and olives are best pruned after harvesting
while grapes and kiwifruit are a winter
job so branches can be trained in a certain
direction. Citrus pruning should be left
until late spring, after the last of the frosts
is over.
When pruning nectarine, peach and
plum trees, aim for an open centre. Apples
and pears need a main upright trunk and
branches stemming out.
Avoid stressing a tree through over
pruning; taking just a third of a branch or
the tree itself.
Using sharp pruning shears or loppers,
make forty five degree angle cuts (so
moisture will drain off), a little above
branches and buds that are pointing
outwards, and then apply a pruning paste.
Burn diseased material or put it in the
rubbish bin (not the green bin), never
composting it as this could spread disease
to other plants in the garden. Lastly, clean
pruning equipment by wiping the blades
with methylated spirits.
Pruning a tree lessens the potential for
pests and disease, increases its survival
chances and improves fruiting potential.
With apples & pears, branches should stem out from a main upright trunk.
Autumn is traditionally pruning time.

OPEN TUESDAY to FRIDAY 9.00am to 4.30pm SATURDAY & SUNDAY 10.00am to 4.00pm
GRAPEFRUIT is one of
winter’s colourful citrus
jewels. Packed with
antioxidants just when we
need them, the grapefruit
is a popular fruit tree to
have in the home garden.
The fruit may be an
acquired taste as it can be
rather sour, but there are
a few tricks to draw out its
sweetness.
In the United States,
where grapefruit are a
breakfast staple, they are
much sweeter because
of the way they are
grown. Most commercial
grapefruit orchards are
in the hot states, such as
Florida, where they are
grown with irrigation. In
spite of this, grapefruit
are one of the most coldtolerant
citrus fruits and
will withstand some frost.
When selecting the place
to plant your tree, find
the hottest part of your
property, ideally with a
masonry wall to release
heat to help sweeten the
fruit.
To get the most
sweetness and ripeness
from the fruit, leave it on
the tree for a long time – it
can take up to 14 months
to ripen properly.
The variety you choose
is also important. Wheeny
grapefruit takes a long
time to produce fruit
– this variety tends to
produce fruit biennially.
Citrus needs full sun
and ample moisture, but
reasonable drainage. It
needs a spot with good
airflow but not windy, and
it doesn’t like to be too
crowded.
Golden special is always
productive and the
fruit not too sour. This
grapefruit is a breakfast
staple, sweetened with a
little honey or a sprinkle
of raw sugar.
Citrus care
Citrus are surface
rooters so they don’t
do well with grass growing
around them, particularly
when they are young. It
is much better to lightly
skim the grass from the
surface without disturbing
the roots of the tree,
removing the competition
to beyond the “drip line” if
you can.

antioxidants grapefruit is a
sweet breakfast staple.

Question:
I have a bit of grass grub in my lawn,
what can I do to get rid of it?
The recommended treatment
Answer: for grass grub is to use a soil
insecticide such as Lawn
Guard. There are several in the garden centres available,
usually containing the same active ingredient, but
with their own brand name. Best head to your local
garden centre and ask for their recommendation. Make
sure that you read the instructions very carefully, and
follow all the steps indicated on the bottle! Now is a
great time to treat grass grub while the weather is still
warm. It is a good idea to treat the whole lawn, then
give it a sprinkle of fertiliser afterwards. Intelligro’s
Lawn Fertiliser is excellent for creating a lush lawn.
Come down and grab a bag, even if you aren’t treating
for grass grub. Established lawns can be fertilised
now too, just make sure that you water thoroughly
after application.

New questions received by
Tuesday 25th April.
how will I know I have grass
grub in the lawn?
Grass grub lawn damage shows as patchy areas of dead grass. Eggs
of the grass grub found here are laid in the soil during spring/summer,
and normally hatch after about 2 weeks. The small larvae then feed on
the roots of grasses until spring, growing to 20-25 mm long. Diseased
lawn will turn yellow and die off leaving a dead mat of turf.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
A community
development at
Devon Green
The first two groups of Devon Green purchasers
recently took possession of their new homes, and
already the new residents are talking about having
a street party to celebrate.
An initiative of Generation Homes, the
Devon Green community development is
an example of affordable building that still
offers a high quality product. It is therefore
not surprising that this new subdivision
is attracting interest from a mix of people
that include individuals, mature couples,
and first home buyers cashing in on their
KiwiSaver and the opportunity to realise a
HomeStart Grant.
“With the landscaping and finishing
work now complete, the homes look really
good,” says Evan Beker who along with
wife Nadja, are joint venture partners of
Generation Homes Christchurch.
“We had a goal of creating a vibrant
community with this development, and
it has been fantastic seeing this coming
together.”
The homes in Devon Green cost
between $435,000 and $465,000 for a
three bedroom architecturally designed
semi-detached or standalone home and
land package. All come with high quality
fittings that include engineered stone
bench tops and standard Bosch appliances
in the kitchen, heat pump, and ensuites/
walk-in robes in the main bedrooms.
There is also ample storage and indoor,
outdoor flow through sliders that lead to
patio and garden courtyards.
The total size of the homes varies from
127 to 155 square metres. The smaller
units have single car garaging while those
between 140 and 155 square metres have
a double garage. Section sizes average
around the 400 square metre mark.
Externally, long-run roofing, upgraded
bricks and linear oblique feature cladding
combine to make the homes extremely
attractive, as does the fully landscaped
sections. A mix of trellis style fencing
and hedges separate the homes while
specimen trees will be planted throughout
the sub-division for an appealing open
environment.
A total of forty five homes are planned
for Devon Green, fourteen to be two storey
townhouses and thirty one single level
dwellings. Already twenty six of the latter
have been sold with the last stage of single
level packages soon to be released.
Generation Homes has also just released
their two storey townhouse stage. These
spacious three bedroom 150 square
metre homes overlook the Devon Green
reserve. Layout options include two
bedrooms upstairs with an ensuite and
master bathroom while there is also a
separate downstairs bedroom and toilet.
Some designs also have an ensuite for
the downstairs bedroom. These layout
options make these townhouses ideal for
single people who wish to have a flatmate,
for multi-generational families, and for
investors.
Devon Green is located at the northern
end of Strauss Drive in Devon Park,
Rolleston and is featured at: www.
generation.co.nz/dg_home.
Generation Homes has just released their two storey
townhouse stage at Devon Green
Homes at Devon Green range from 127-155 square metres.

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.

Rich and Flamboyant
Set in total privacy, with all day sun, the former Vicarage
of Woodend is the perfect home for those who prefer an
extravagantly styled European décor. A bespoke home
designed and tailored by the flamboyant owner who
knowingly over capitalized for his own pleasure. Sadly
he passed away too early to enjoy the end result leaving
an affordable opportunity for a lucky bidder.
