Good bags for

duck shooters

Greenpark resident Trent Lassen returning after

a successful morning’s hunting at the opening of

the duck shooting season on Saturday. Mr Lassen

bagged his catch at his father Terry Lassen’s pond

in Greenpark. Terry said it was a successful opening

with the weather being calm and sunny. About 100

birds were shot at the property by several hunters

over the weekend. Trent shot 16. Fish and Game

officer Steve Terry said it was reasonably quiet

around Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora this year but

people who used private ponds did well.

fence

decision

held off

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

A DECISION over a ratepayerfunded

fence in a high country

station has been held off by the

Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee

after concerns more research

needs to be done on the project.

About five zone committee

members will travel to Cave

Stream later this month to visit

the site.

It was planned the committee

would make a final decision

on supporting the funding for

a proposed fence by Flock Hill

Holdings Ltd last Tuesday.

Environment Canterbury

proposed putting $44,236 towards

fencing off a section of Cave

Stream and associated 35ha wetlands

at the station.

It comes after an application

by Flock Hill’s leaseholder Flock

Hill Holdings, owned by Jim

Foster and Vince Saunders of Los

Angeles-based Coast Range New

Zealand.

Delay in fence decision

•From page 1

This was for vegetation clearance

on nearby terraces so it

could intensify grazing on the

land.

It proposed fencing off Cave

Stream as a way of mitigating

the associated loss of biodiversity

on the terraces.

The landowners

will contribute

$22,000

towards the

project.

It has since

been decided,

this decision to

Allen Lim

fund the project

using ECan’s

Immediate

Steps programme for protecting

freshwater biodiversity, is

reviewed.

Te Taumutu Runanga representative

Les Wanhalla said he

will not have an opinion until

he has seen the area.

“For me to sit in the office out

of town to say yay or nay I don’t

know what I am doing,” he said.

Zone committee chairman

Allen Lim told Selwyn Times

people are forgetting the landowners

are putting in 120ha

of farmland for conservation

which is not required.

“In my view $44,000 is a

Station has been held off.

minimal amount . . . if there is

an opportunity to protect it, I

say protect it,” he said.

But it was questioned by

residents at the zone committee

meeting last Tuesday as to what

the fence was designed to do.

Springfield resident Nicky

Snoyink asked if a proper landscape

assessment on the terraces

had been done.

“I just wondered what the

fence will enable? I noticed

the last couple of months up

here a few of the river terraces

throughout the basin had been

over-sewed, drilled,” she said.

She had concerns the fence

would give licence for the terrace

to be turned into farmland.

ECan’s land management

advisor Johannes Welsch responded

the project is focused

primarily on freshwater and

the owners would have to go

through another consent process

through the district council

to farm the terrace.

At the meeting, resident John

Summers said the leaseholders

have a stewardship responsibility

and should be funding the

project themselves.

In Brief

ROAD PROJECTS PLANNED

Three new projects will soon get

under way to improve roading

connections to the Rolleston

industrial zone. Traffic volumes in

the Rolleston industrial area have

increased by more than 200 per

cent over the past 10 years. The

projects will cost $1.9 million and

have been developed by a Roading

Strategy Group. The New Zealand

Transport Agency will fund 51

per cent of the cost of the projects,

with the remaining cost funded

through a mix of district council

and developer funding.

WEST MELTON HOUSE FIRE

Firefighters battled a house blaze

in West Melton for more than

three hours yesterday. The fire

started in the roof of a Halkett

Rd property about 11am. Six fire

crews from Kirwee, Rolleston,

Burnham and Christchurch attended

the blaze. No injuries were

reported.

WATER TREATMENT

Work to install ultra violent

treatment and water filtration

at Springfield has begun and is

expected to be completed in August.

Currently the water is treated

by chlorination. In Rolleston,

UV treatment will be installed

at Moore St and Overbury Cres.

The majority of Rolleston’s water

supplies will be treated with UV

before summer.

Siphon raises road safety concerns

Weedons

Residents

Association

Committee

secretary and

resident Gary

Doyle writes

about his

concerns on

the New Zealand Transport

Agency four laning

development between

Weedons and Hoskyns Rds

The creation of the four-laning

between Weedons and Hoskyns

Rds, have a normal (but not

required) camber at the eastern

end.

The Rolleston end actually

has a slight reverse camber. Due

to the New Zealand Transport

Agency refusing to flatten the

eastern end, a very expensive

siphon will have to be installed.

The maintenance of this will

fall back on the ratepayers. NZTA

flatly declined to lower the road,

quoting “safety reasons” but will

not discuss the reverse camber at

the Rolleston end.

Discussions have been held by

myself with NZTA, flatly refusing

to see reason but happy to

cause a very possible traffic hazard

which will occur when the

siphon clogs up, at which time

they will simply pass the buck to

the district council. I await their

public explanation.

On a slightly different note is

the lack of action with widening

both Jones and Maddisons Rds

to cope with the increase in traffic,

especially heavy traffic. This

increase coupled with the greater

usage of both roads by cyclists is

also a disaster waiting to happen.

CONCERN: The water race which will be siphoned on

Weedons Rd.

New Zealand Transport

Agency principal project

manager Geoff Griffiths

responds

The works referred to are part

of the NZTA’s Christchurch

Southern Motorway Stage 2

project (CSM2). NZTA has been

approached by Mr Doyle on a

number of occasions over recent

years regarding the changes to

Main South Rd, (State Highway

1), in the vicinity of the proposed

Weedons Rd Interchange.

We have explained the design

to Mr Doyle several times, the

latest being on March 2 this year

when I and the consultant’s design

manager met with him for

well over an hour.

He was provided with drawings

and a full explanation of the

design including the reasons for

the geometric design of the road

at Weedons and at the Rolleston

end of the project.

There is nothing unusual in

the design and it follows conventional

guidelines and standards

to ensure a safe and comfortable

driving outcome.

The need for the siphon at

Weedons was discussed at the

same meeting.

Again there is nothing unusual

in the use of a siphon to carry the

water race under a road. It was

explained that the changes to

the water race network were not

designed in isolation by NZTA

designers but in full consultation

with the Selwyn District

Council.

NZTA has designed any

changes to the water race to meet

both the district council and

NZTA requirements.

The district council and NZTA

believe that the changes to the

water race network being undertaken

as part of the CSM2 project

will result in a more resilient

network with lower maintenance

costs.

An example of this increased

resilience is the provision at

Weedons of a dual siphon rather

than a single siphon to reduce

the risk of blockage and subsequent

flooding.

Transport Agency engineers

have also presented to the

Weedons Residents Association

Committee on CSM2.

The widening of Jones Rd and

Maddisons Rd is not included in

the scope of the NZTA’s CSM2

project.

However, the installation of a

roundabout at the Weedons Ross

Rd/Jones Rd intersection and

the upgrading of both the Curraghs

Rd/Jones Rd and Dawsons

Rd/Jones Rd intersections are

included.

In respect to cyclists, NZTA and

the district council have worked

together to include in the scope of

the CSM2 project improved cycle

facilities between Rolleston and

Dawsons Rd, Templeton. These

include off-road or parallel alternative

options to Jones Rd.

Seminars planned to ease water tensions


A SERIES of seminars are

planned to reduce tensions

between Environment

Canterbury and residents over

how water issues in the Selwyn-

Waihora catchment are managed.

ECan’s chief scientist Tim

Davie said the seminars will be

held to provide residents information

on the Selwyn River –

the main community concerns.

Tensions came to a head at the


meeting last Tuesday over

democracy surrounding water

issues and the effects of farming

intensification.

About 20 residents took a stand

after zone committee chairman

Allen Lim complained divisions

between ECan were beginning

to emerge following a “Talk for

Water” meeting in March.

Residents were at the meeting

to support ECan councillor Lan

Pham after she made comments

at the March meeting the about

the way water is managed.

Cr Pham said while she did not

want to comment on the letter,

she supported the community.

“I completely support both

the community who came out

in support of a democratic voice

and environmental limits, and

the zone committee who have

worked tirelessly in their zone to

make the best of a complex situation,”

she said.

After the meeting Mr Lim

wrote a letter to ECan chairman

David Bedford complaining

councillors were not collaborating

together.

But Mr Lim said the letter was

not aimed at Cr Pham.

“It was about the way we work,

collaborative process means everyone

is getting together at the

table to talk things through

. . . if you have a stance where

you are not willing to compromise

it does not mesh with the

collaborative process,” he said.

In response to Mr Lim’s letter,

Mr Bedford said while the evening

was “unfortunate” but he had

no doubt different views will be

expressed by ECan councillors

on occasion.

At the meeting resident Mike

Glover told Mr Lim he was “out

of line” for complaining about Cr

Pham and the zone committee is

a democratic process.

BACKED UP: A

group of about

20 residents

attended

the Selwyn

Waihora Zone

Committee

meeting to

support ECan

councillor

Lan Pham for

speaking out

about how

water issues

are managed

in the area.

“We need to celebrate the fact

that somebody elected is putting

her hand up and saying “hey all

is not well here,” he said.

Key concerns raised were over

the Central Plains Water scheme

which could lead to intensification

of agriculture and a higher

nitrogen load going into Lake

Ellesmere/Te Waihora.

Before the 1940s it was

estimated Lake Ellesmere/Te

Waihora had about 800 tonnes

reaching it per year.

Mr Lim told Selwyn Times to

achieve 800 tonnes farmers in the

Lincoln and Rolleston townships

would need to move off the land.

“Eight-hundred tonnes was

never going to be achievable.

When people make it sound like

it is achievable that kind of annoys

me” he said.

Mr Glover told the zone

committee the nitrogen load

going into the lake needs to be

changed.

Mr Lim said he understood

Mr Glover’s concerns but a lot

of work went into deciding the

pollution limits for dairy farmers

and this was the result.

A limit has be set under Selwyn

Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora

plan (plan change one) for nitrogen

coming from agricultural

activities with dairying required

to make a 30 per cent reduction.

Mr Glover said he did not want

to give the impression he was

against dairy farming the community

should not have to fork out for

the mass pollution taking place.

Dates and times for the seminars

are yet to be confirmed.

The work that was expected to

Good reason to

• By Bridget Rutherford

WHEN EMMA Yates lost her

grandmother to breast cancer,

she inherited her collection of

china crockery.

The Rolleston resident will use

the collection when she hosts

a Pink Ribbon afternoon tea

on May 21 to raise money and

awareness for the Breast Cancer

Foundation New Zealand.

Ms Yates said her grandmother,

Lerline Morris lost her battle

with the disease. She was 57.

“The one thing that’s special

to me is that the china has her

initials on the bottom that she’s

done in nail varnish.”

Mrs Morris painted her initials

so when she took it to her

women’s division functions, she

would know they were hers, Ms

Yates said.

Ms Yates, now 39, had two

fibroadenoma lumps removed

when she was 29 and 31, and

goes for a check up every year

now.

She said it was so important

for women of any age to be

aware of the breast cancer symptoms

and to get checked.

“I think a lot of people think it

will never happen to them.”

She said she was “very lucky”.

SELWYN TIMES

Lyndal Marshall

Driving force behind Waikirikiri Sport

Lyndal Marshall, 44, of Rolleston, is behind the

new Waikirikiri Sport club which aims to make

hockey more accessible to Selwyn residents. She

spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding

INNOVATIVE: Lyndal Marshall

is the driving force behind

Waikirikiri Sport, a club which

aims to promote hockey in

Selwyn.

What made you decide to set

up Waikirikiri Sport?

It was a combination of things

that all came together at the

same time. Canterbury Hockey

had a hockey growth project to

look at the numbers of people in

the area playing hockey. Hockey

New Zealand introduced a

new New Zealand Post Small

Sticks strategy for its junior

programme. And that meant

all junior games were six-aside

games so they could be played

on half the turf. And then the

district council was developing

Foster Park and the half turf

facility had room there. So a

combination of all those three

things came together and there

was demand from people in the

Selwyn district looking for a

place to play hockey. Up until

now, people had to join clubs in

the city

How strong did you think

hockey was in Selwyn before

the club was set up?

There was a demand for

it. The club gives people the

opportunity to play. Prior to

Waikirikiri being formed, it

is only really the parents who

have played themselves or

families that have made that

effort to go into the city to train.

So now, with having a facility

in Rolleston, it becomes an

opportunity for more families to

fit in that training time locally.

You have a good team of

people running the club?

We have had an amazing

group. From the outset, I asked

people what were their interests

and passions. We have asked

people to get involved in the area

they are interested in. So they

have a positive experience on the

committee and running the club

and, therefore, we can expect

participants and parents to have

a positive experience with the

club because all the committee

are happy doing jobs that they

like. We have found people that

like database work, we have

found people that like health and

safety work.

Is the club fully established

yet?

Last Saturday, our kids started

playing, so we were officially

established from then. We have

registered 13 six-aside teams,

which will start playing on

Saturday. We have got enough

players to field those teams, but

we have more room for a couple

more kids in different age groups

to fill the squads.

You must have put in a fair

amount of planning to get this

club set up. When did you first

get the idea?

Nine months we have been

working on this. Most of us on

the original committee have

carried on, which is great. The

interesting thing is, the people

involved in getting the club

set up haven’t necessarily got

children playing hockey. They

are just passionate and their efforts

are helping other families

not necessarily their own. We

firmly believe the success for the

club is through coaching so we

are putting a huge emphasis on

coach development to ensure the

players have a good experience.

bringing turf hockey to the masses

You have several plans for the

club?

We were given permission

to be a junior club for hockey.

We are looking at building to a

fully affiliated club with senior

teams. We have got some people

involved that will be key in the

senior club. We have a memorandum

of understanding with

Lincoln University to help us.

Hockey is such a big part of

your life, when did you start

out?

My parents played hockey.

My mother was president of the

Horowhenua women’s hockey

association back in the day. My

sister played hockey and I started

playing when I was 11 and I

played right through to when I

had my children at the age of 30.

Then I came out of retirement

and played more recently before

retiring again.

Are you missing the game?

You would like to be out there

playing but it is that time to

commit to the family and the

club. And I kept injuring myself.

What has been your biggest

achievement as a hockey player?

I was awarded Hockey

Manawatu senior women’s player

of the year in 1996 and went

to Holland to represent New

Zealand at the International

Masters Hockey Association

World Cup in 2014. We didn’t

do as well as we had hoped but it

was an amazing experience. We

loved Holland – it is the home

of hockey. They are super passionate

about hockey, so at the

same time while we were over

there, the hockey World Cup was

on. The highlight of that was we

went to watch the Black Sticks

play. There were about 15,000

people watching this game of

CHALLENGE: Lyndal Marshall

representing New Zealand

at the masters hockey World

Cup.

hockey.

What other sports have you

played?

Soccer when I was younger.

I also played tennis and did

swimming, but hockey was my

Saturday sport.

What do you think of Canterbury

hockey as a whole?

Canterbury hockey is a really

well-organised sport. The club

structure goes right down to year

1 (five-year-old children). You

can go right through to being a

top Canterbury premier league

player. There is a good pathway,

but you can also join at different

levels. The representative teams

perform really well nationwide.

It is a strong province.

Is there a young hockey player

we should be keeping an eye on?

For us, 70 per cent of our players

are new to hockey so that is

an unknown quantity to us. We

are hoping to create some passionate

hockey people. But at this

stage of the club, we are involved

in getting people participating

and performing well.

Did you ever look up to anyone

when you were growing up?

No not really. I just got out

there and got involved and

enjoyed it.

What do you like doing in

your spare time?

I have a family with a husband

and three kids. My husband also

coaches my son’s rugby team and

I am coaching one of my daughter’s

hockey teams. We both help

out with touch rugby in the summer.

So it is just keeping the kids

active and taking the boat down

to the lake.

Are your children interested

in hockey?

My two girls play hockey and

my son plays rugby, but he is

pretty good at hockey so hopefully

he will play in our social

group. Waikirikiri has got social

competitions running for kids

on Monday nights so, if they are

already playing sport, they can

give hockey a go. It gives them

an opportunity to play without

impacting their primary sport.

at Foster Park, is looking for

more players aged between

five and 13 years-old. For

“ EVERYONE

“I really am so happy here.”

When Bev found out she was able to bring her

mini schnauzer Molly to her Summerset retirement

village, she was thrilled.

“Molly is very important to me, I wouldn’t have

wanted to make the move without her.”

After being at Summerset for only a few months, Bev

was surprised at how quickly she settled into village

life. She really likes the feeling that she’s secure and

that help is always at hand should

she need it.

SELWYN TIMES

A reader responds to last

week’s Selwyn Times’

article on a proposal

for a new Returned and

Services Association to be

established in Rolleston

Lawrence Mitten – While

the Templeton RSA rooms on

Kirk Rd are useful, it makes a

good deal of sense to move the

Templeton RSA to Rolleston.

Moving the Canterbury Regiment

Association’s history centre

from Burnham to a new RSA at

Rolleston is a fantastic idea and

needs further promotion.

The current Christchurch

RSA is failing and is struggling

to make ends meet. The history

centre has some fantastic displays

and much memorabilia. If

this project is done correctly, and

I have no doubt that it will be,

then Canterbury will have the

first military museum combined

with an RSA in the South Island.

This will be an opportunity for

the history centre’s curators to

gather up the many thousands of

items of memorabilia which are

throughout the South Island.

Visitors can combine a visit

to the Rolleston RSA clubrooms

and a visit to the Rolleston history

centre, and, prior or after,

a visit to the Air Force Museum

of New Zealand in Wigram – a

wonderful outing.

The South Island, and Canterbury

in particular, has paid a

PLANS: Support to move the Templeton RSA to Rolleston is growing. (Right) – A reader calls for the banning of freedom campers.

heavy price in lost sons during

the wars New Zealand has been

involved in since the Boer War.

We must preserve their

memory and sacrifice.

A memorial museum would go

a long way to achieve this. Burnham

Military Camp, which is

about 6km from Rolleston will

supply a number of members,

both serving soldiers and returned

veterans from the recent

deployments from the Middle

East.

The New Zealand Defence

Force is closing the Waiouru

Military Camp shortly and the

army is moving to Burnham and

will become the central pivot

for the army throughout New

Zealand. This is a golden opportunity

for the Templeton RSA.

A reader responds

to last week’s Selwyn

Times’ article on freedom

camping

David Taylor – Very simple

. . . keep it black and white. Do

we want second tier tourists who

add little, and cost New Zealanders

heavily?

Simple answer is no.

Do we want high quality tourists

who add value? Yes.

Ban freedom campers period.

Make people stay in Department

of Conservation camps or normal

camping grounds.

Not fair that campground

owners invest and provide a

good service.

Why should people camp essentially

where they like.

This country attracts tourists

based on our clean image

and the beauty we have . . . keep

this up and no one will want to

come to New Zealand which will

just be another trashed filthy

country like so many others.

If tourism is managed properly

and if we invest heavily into

infrastructure it can work. But

typical of all governments and at

local level too – they are reactive

and lazy rather than be proactive

and anticipate likely outcomes

before they happen.

Our politicians and councillors

are too self-serving and interested

more in keeping their jobs

than do the hard yards necessary

to protect what we have, but for

how long as the environment is

being severely compromised all

in the name of money.

As a New Zealander I’m far

from happy the way we are being

sold out.

Like the state of our waterways,

it’s a disgrace.

Clean and green is the biggest

con. New Zealanders will soon

wake up, as the will the rest of

the world, that the country is a

rort.

We invest too much on marketing

how great we are. I only

wish so much effort and money

went into protecting what we

have for future generations . . .

sustainability springs to mind.

Glitz and glamour of the Roaring 20s

IT WAS back to the Roaring

20s as Lincoln University

students celebrated their hard

work with a night of revelry at

The Tannery.

Nearly 500 students graduated

from the university and

dressed up for a 1920s-themed

graduation ball inspired by

The Great Gatsby.

The event organised by the

Lincoln University Students’

Association and 360 Degree

Events featured live entertainment

with performances from

band Shadow Puppet and

1920s dancing girls.

Red carpets, an automatic

Polaroid printing machine,

complementary drinks,

cheesecake, brownies were all

on the agenda for the evening.

LUSA spokeswoman Julia

Wills said it was one of the

best events the association

had organised.

“It just went so smoothly

and everybody had positive

feedback about it . . . I think

the venue itself helped,” she

said.

Water treatment

upgrades underway

Make a switch to save money

Did you know that by switching from a large rubbish bin, to a smaller

rubbish bin and organics bin you could be rewarded for creating less

waste by saving money?

If you have a large 240 litre rubbish bin but barely fill the bin each

week, or you fill it with mostly garden waste, you may want to

consider moving to a smaller 80 litre rubbish bin and taking up a 240

litre organics bin. The annual costs for different types of rubbish,

recycling and organic services are shown below.

Rubbish (Red lid, optional), emptied weekly

· 240 litre wheelie bin, per year $395


· 60 litre rubbish bag, recommended price $2 per bag

Recycling (Yellow lid, compulsory), emptied fortnightly


· Two 60 litre crates, per year $63 (for off route properties only)

Organics (lime green lid, optional), emptied weekly

· 240 litre wheelie bin (where service is available), per year $210

If you would like to change your bin size, you can do so by visiting

www.selwyn.govt.nz/helpline or by calling 347 2800 or 318 8338.

Council rubbish bags can be purchased from Council libraries

and service centres, Rolleston, Lincoln and Halswell New World,

Countdown Rolleston, Darfield and West Melton Four Square, Fresh

Choice Leeston, West Melton BP and Pak n Save Hornby. Bags

from Council Service centres and libraries cost $2 per bag, but the

price may vary at other locations where the price is set by retailers.

Improvements to a number of Council water treatment systems are under way this year.

Work to install UV treatment and filtration at Springfield has begun and is expected to be

completed in August 2017. Currently the water is treated by chlorination.

In Rolleston, UV treatment will be installed at Moore Street where two bores are sited and at

Overbury Cresent. The majority of Rolleston’s water supplies will be treated with UV disinfection

before this summer. UV treatment systems will also be installed at Sheffield and Hororata by the

end of the year. The installation of UV will provide an additional level of water treatment.

Dunsandel, Kirwee, Lake Coleridge, West Melton and the three bores in Izone which service much

of Rolleston’s town water supply are already UV treated. This treatment method uses ultraviolet

light to kill microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, molds and other pathogens.

Currently, the Council uses a variety of water treatment methods for our 30 water supplies and

all supplies have Water Safety Plans approved by Canterbury District Health Board which set out

water treatment standards. Treatment methods used in various supplies include secure ground

water (to meet New Zealand Drinking Water Standards), UV and filtration, and chlorination of the

Acheron, Castle Hill, Dalethorpe, Hororata and Springfield supplies.

Explore Selwyn – Lake Coleridge township

Lake Coleridge is one of Selwyn’s hidden spots which offers spectacular views of the mountains on

your way there and great views of the Rakaia River.

A short walk begins from a lookout point over the Rakaia River. A pathway follows the course of the

tailrace through bush to reach the Lake Coleridge Power Station. The building was New Zealand’s first

large power station and was built between 1911 and 1914. The imposing hydo-electric station provided

all of Christchurch’s power in the early twentieth century. When you reach the station you can either

return back along the path or walk through the village and turn back down Kowai Road.

Another walking option in the village is to visit the Lake Coleridge Arbouretum which is a 1km, 20

minute walk accessible from Hummock Hill Road. The village is located around 3km from the lake

which offers more walking and sightseeing opportunities.

Time/Distance: 20 minutes,

just over 1 km.

Difficulty: Easy. Not suitable

for buggies, wheelchairs

or pre-school children as

the path is located next to

the river bank which has a

steep cliff

How to get there: To access

the lookout walk you can

park outside the Lake

Coleridge cemetery and

walk towards the gorge.

Lake Coleridge is located off

Coleridge Road from State

Highway 77 and is around

1 hour, 15 minutes from

Rolleston or 50 minutes

from Darfield.

Building Boom Continues in

Selwyn

While there appears to be a slowdown in building activity in some

parts of the country, Selwyn is still experiencing high volumes of

building consent applications. Applications received in the last

couple of months are comparable to the volumes experienced in

2014. Due to the high volumes, consent processing timeframes

have pushed out beyond what customers have become

accustomed to. Additional resources have been engaged to help

with consent processing to bring the timeframes back to our usual

standard as quickly as possible.

If you have lodged a building consent yourself you can check its

progress online using the AlphaOne system. Your construction firm

or builder can monitor this for you if they have lodged the consent

on your behalf. For any assistance with this contact our Building

Advisory Team on bca@selwyn.govt.nz.

When lodging your application please ensure that your application

has all relevant information supplied. Our website has two

checklists to assist you – a residential and a commercial and

industrial checklist. These are available online at www.selwyn.govt.

nz/buildingforms.

Once your consent has been issued and building work is underway

please ensure that your contractors only book an inspection when

they are fully ready for it to be undertaken. This will avoid a reinspection

being required and save you additional costs. For more

details of what our team check at each inspection type please refer

to the inspection prompt sheets which can be located at

www.selwyn.govt.nz/buildinginformation.

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 with traffic delays possible.

Road widening – Jones Road

Road widening is occurring on Jones Road between Weedons Ross Road and the Lyttelton Port

Company until mid-June. The road will remain open, but may be reduced to one lane at times with

traffic delays expected. This work is occurring now in order to be completed prior to the NZ Transport

Agency starting work on a new Motorway interchange at Weedons Ross Road. Maddisons Road is

suggested as an alternative route to Jones Road at peak times.

Christchurch Southern Motorway extension

Sections of Weedons Ross Road between State Highway One and Jones Road, and Weedons Road

between State Highway One and Levi Road are closed both ways to traffic. A closure will 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.

There will be changes to the traffic management at Waterholes Road (between 865 Waterholes Road

and the intersection of Waterholes Road and Hamptons Road) to allow for some work in preparation for

month.

Young kart racer dreams of formula one

• By Gordon Findlater

LINCOLN’S JACOB Douglas

will take on the world’s best in

October as he takes the next

step in his dream of driving in

formula one.

Jacob, 11, started racing just

three years ago and has now

secured his spot at the International

Rok Cup finals in Italy by

dominating at the Kartsport NZ

National Sprint Championships

in Invercargill last month.

He won the Vortex Mini ROK

class, winning his heat races

before going onto win the final

by more than four seconds.

“The competition was pretty

stiff down there with a lot of

good drivers,” said Jacob.

He previously raced motorcycles

but after spending a day at

the track with his father in 2014

he decided it was time to sell the

bike after finding his passion on

four wheels.

“We were hopeful that we

SPORTS

would win, we knew we had a

fair chance and we had trained

for all scenarios. Jacob had

broken the lap record at the track

only weeks before so we also

knew we were fast,” said Jacob’s

father Craig Douglas.

Trained by Matthew Hamilton

of WKS Kartstore and Tiffany

Chittenden, Douglas is a boy

who wants to go places. He lives

and breathes motor racing and

is passionate about making his

mark on a world stage.

Jacob trains at the KartSport

Canterbury track on the corner

of Carrs and Wigram Rds up to

four times a week. His dedication

to chasing the formula one

dream even involves occasionally

taking time out of school.

“I don’t think they particularly

like that but they’re quite supportive

of my racing,” said Jacob.

In Italy he will drive for the

OTK Kart Group, whose former

drivers include seven-time

formula one world champion

Michael Schumacher.

In a country that punches

above its weight in motorsport,

Jacob Douglas is a name to watch

out for. Not only does he have

the technical skill to succeed, but

the mental strength required to

get to the top.

A gemstone

IN ROLLESTON

Whether you want a night off cooking, are

a couple looking for a date night option,

a group of friends meeting for a catch-up

drink or a family looking for a comfortable

restaurant to enjoy a family meal – then

Quartz in Rolleston is for you.

The early bird special entices families to

come in early and enjoy $5 kids’ meals when

ordered before 6pm, which then provides a

more ambient setting later on for couples or

friends catching up.

If you want to try a more convivial way to

eat then eat put the entrée/sharing plates in

the middle ‘tapas style’ with just some of the

many delectable choices including southern

style chicken, pan seared scallops, arancini

risotto balls or sticky pork ribs. Or try the

Quartz platter, popular for those wanting

to enjoy a taste of some of the sharing

plate options, and making the perfect

accompaniment to a few drinks from the

extensive menu of wine and beer.

The Favourites menu includes traditional fare

such as fish and chips, burgers, schnitzel or

creamy chicken & bacon fettuccine. Popular

mains include fish of the day, creamy garlic

chicken breast, lamb shanks or pork belly,

and delicious steak options.

Special diets are also catered for, particularly

gluten free diners, with a menu that clearly

shows dietary options (and even a gluten free

dedicated fryer).

Children are well looked after too. Select

a platter, roast or pasta, or the ‘Kids Plate’

where children (and parents) can build the

perfect meal choosing from a selection of

‘treat’ or healthier options.

Excited to be Rolleston’s ‘pre-concert venue’,

Quartz offers its customers a new service. Pay

just $50 and receive a $40 beverage and food

voucher as well as return transport to and

from concerts in town.

Transport is also available for diners on any

given night with our comfortable courtesy

van.

Quartz combined with The Rock bar right

next door is the perfect choice for a fun, local

night out. Enjoy your meal in Quartz, then

head through to the Rock to enjoy live sports

on big screens, or on Saturday night’s have a

dance to a live band or DJ.

Treat your Mum this Mother’s Day to a lunch

or dinner at Quartz but ensure you book so

you don’t miss out.

Backyard critters

SELWYN TIMES

South African mantis invades Lincoln

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

THE SPRINGBOKS are

invading Lincoln, but not the

rugby variety. The South African

praying mantis (miomantis

caffra) is invading New Zealand

and has reached Lincoln as it

disperses south.

The invader is thought to have

arrived in Auckland around 1978

and is spreading north to south.

Trouble is, the bok mantis

appears to be eating our

native species, orthodera

novaezealandiae, and there are

serious concerns that our native

species is being displaced.

Our native males are being

attracted to the female bok

mantis only to be eaten.

So how do you tell the

difference between the two

mantis species?

Our native mantis has a large

blue-purple dot on the inside of

its forelegs and the exotic bok

mantis doesn’t.

The second distinguishing

feature is the width of the neck of

the two species.

The native mantis has a wide

neck close to the width of its

body, whereas the bok mantis

has a neck markedly narrower

TAKING OVER: The South

African praying mantis

(miomantis caffra) has

reached Lincoln and is eating

native species.

than its head.

Like the adults, the egg

cases (ootheca) also look quite

different between the species.

The native egg cases are brown

in colour and have a figure of

888888-pattern when looking

from above.

When these are freshly laid

(usually in autumn), the holes

have a white waxy covering that

seals the eggs inside.

When the young mantis’

hatch in spring, the white seal

is broken, exposing the 888888

holes.

The bok ootheca looks like a

mini meringue and has a tapered

end.

Should we be concerned about

this invasion?

Well, Auckland entomologist

Greg Holwell thinks so.

He has been studying the

ecology of the two species for 10

years and has noticed a dramatic

increase in the bok mantis at the

expense of our native one.

Travel

More to Rarotonga than the beaches

• By Mike Yardley

PLANNING an escape to

Rarotonga?

Tear yourself away from the

beach to dig a little deeper at the

roots of the island. Venture along

the back road and enter a timeless

world of free-range harmony in

abundance.

On my various forays along the

back road, I feasted on freshlyplucked

pawpaw, mango, guava,

bananas and star-fruit, bursting

from the roadside trees.

Scenically insatiable, I marvelled

at the colourfully-painted

hinterland homes and the dense

plantations, bracketed by Rarotonga’s

serrated peaks which

exude a Jurassic Park aura.

There are many ways to get

a flavour for Rarotonga’s vast

green heart, including taking a

ride with the recently launched

Tik-e Tours. These tropical

three-wheeler luxury tuk-tuk

limousines are fully electric, so

unlike the racket they make on

the streets of Bangkok, these

beauties will glide you around

Rarotonga’s ravishing interior in

virtual silence.

My driver/guide was a worldly

elder called Mata, a natural and

charismatic raconteur. Throughout

my tour, every passer-by

warmly waved out to Mata, or

stopped to chat. One chap we

talked to was busy cultivating

noni fruit by hand.

Lauded by locals for centuries

for its numerous health benefits,

noni juice has taken the world by

storm and is the Cook Islands’

No 1 agricultural export product.

My two-hour tour traversed a

slew of insights, including stops at

TROPICAL: Ikurangi’s foliage is typical of the Rarotongan hinterland. Right – Shower in the open air at the Ikurangi Eco-Retreat.

ancient marae sites, a rendezvous

with Government House, the

magnificently carved new war

memorial in honour of the 500

local soldiers who fought in

World War 1, Tinomana Palace

and the sacred Great Migration

site of Avana Passage.

Operating for just over a year,

the people behind Tik-e Tours

are Cook Islander Tania Farman

and her husband, Karl, who

have swapped corporate life in

Auckland for the Rarotongan

lifestyle, while injecting an

innovative and eco-friendly

tourism product into the mix.

For more heartland hi-jinks

I jumped behind the wheel of a

Rarotonga Buggy Tour. These

grunty off-road vehicles are a

cross between a kart and a beach

buggy, highly manoeuvrable and

hardy.

They’re even kitted out with roll

cages if it all goes badly wrong.

These wildly popular buggy

tours have been making quite a

splash for two years. Our conga

line of yellow buggies looked

like a slithering giant snake. The

biggest mud pits awaited us at the

site of ill-fated and abandoned

Sheraton Hotel development,

where the grounds have been

reworked as an off-road buggy

track, which is where I got utterly

splattered in mud, as we ripped

up and down the mounds of the

track.

Our touring route also romped

into the hinterland and the

Turangi Valley, thickly carpeted

with tropical rainforest. Seriously

good fun if you like to get down

and dirty. www.rarobuggytours.

com

Swathed in jungle-like tropical

foliage, the environmentallyfriendly

embrace of Ikurangi Eco-

Retreat is a winning new roost in

Rarotonga.

Established by Luana and Matt

Scowcroft last year, this thoughtfully

created offering treads a very

light footprint. You’ll notice the

sustainability elements wherever

you turn.

The toilets are self-composting,

the beautiful toiletries by Ashley

& Co are studiously organic, the

natural and biodegradable cleaning

products, a sustainable waste

management system, all materials

are sustainably sourced and

there’s free use of bicycles to go

exploring.

Being uber-boutique, the experience

is absolutely distinctive,

personalised and ultra-attentive.

Luana says: “We think of it as a

unique combination of the allure

of a safari with the romance of the

South Seas, where luxury meets

sustainability.”

I loved sleeping in my luxury

safari tent, stunningly furnished,

and perched on a deck to allow

airflow.

A tropical breakfast was

delivered to my deck each

morning and I adored the

locally-roasted, fair trade plunger

coffee.

I awoke each morning to the

“Tail of the Sky,” Mt Ikurangi,

gilded in the glow of the rising

Rarotongan sun, and I revelled

in the novelty of showering in

the open-air bathroom, flanked

by swaying palms and bountiful

banana trees.

FAST FACTS

•Set amid the bountiful

hinterland beauty, but just

minutes from the beach,

Ikurangi Eco-Resort is a

masterclass in sustainable

hospitality in paradise. Five

per cent of Ikurangi Eco

Retreat profits go to local

conservation initiatives.

www.ikurangi.com

I do love how Rarotonga

is replete with colourful

roadside stalls brimming

with freshly picked produce

and alluring treats, like

organic fruit ice cream.

They directly help villagers

supplement their incomes.

It’s a great way to give back.

Gardening

SELWYN TIMES

Rid your lawn of nasty weed

WHAT EXACTLY is a weed?

Definitions abound, but a

weed is generally considered

to be a plant that’s growing

where it isn’t wanted. And, as

winter draws near to an end, it

often seems that the weeds are

about to take over the entire

garden.

Onehunga weed, which

usually causes problems in

lawns, is one of the weeds you’ll

find starting to develop at this

time of year.

Onehunga weed is a soft,

ferny-leafed plant that only

reveals the nasty side of its

nature when it produces its

sharply-barbed seeds.

These can make walking on

the lawn in bare feet an utter

misery.

You can remove Onehunga

weed with what’s called a

selective weedkiller but,

remember, if the weed has

already formed its spiky seeds,

it’s sure to re-appear next year.

Make a note to begin control

earlier next season.

Selective herbicides cleverly

remove the non-grass weeds

from the lawn, without

damaging the grass.

However, it’s vitally important

to read the label and carefully

follow the instructions. Tooheavy

applications will burn the

grass.

Many other lawn weeds such

as clover, dandelions, thistles

and capeweed – can also

be removed with a selective

weedkiller.

Weeds in garden beds can

be removed using a glyphosate

herbicide.

Glyphosate is non-selective,

which means it will kill any plant

material it contacts.

This, obviously, means it

must be applied with great care.

Fortunately, though, it doesn’t

leave residues in the soil.

PROBLEM: Don’t let Onehunga weed take root in your lawn.

Beautiful broad beans

• By Henri Ham

I KNOW it’s easy and not too

expensive to buy broad beans at

the supermarket, but I enjoy eating

them fresh from the garden.

They taste great and it’s nice

knowing exactly what’s taken

place during the growing process.

Broad beans are one of my

favourite varieties to grow.

Like most other vegetables,

you can grow broad beans from

seed (actually it’s the bean itself).

But I recommend growing from

seedlings.

Doing this shortens the time

before harvest (around six less

weeks) but, more importantly,

takes out a lot of the hard work.

Once the root systems are well

formed (yet still separate from

each other), almost guaranteed

they will grow well.

Once you’ve got your seedlings,

you need to find somewhere to

grow them. I like to grow mine

in a raised vegetable garden, but

they also grow well in pots. Make

sure it’s full sun or partial shade

where you plant.

Broad beans are pollinated by

bees, so it’s helpful to grow them

near a bee-friendly plant like lavender,

rosemary or cornflowers.

It pays to check the pH level

FRESH: Broad

beans like full

sun or just

partial shade.

of your soil. Broad beans like the

soil to be around 5.5 to 6.5pH.

Not sure what the pH level of

your soil is? Most garden centres

sell kits, alternatively there are

also companies which will test

your soil for a small fee.

If the pH level of your soil

could go higher, try adding a

little bit of lime from your local

garden centre. If you’re not sure

of the pH level, it wouldn’t hurt

to add a little bit of lime anyway.

Then simply dig a little hole

and plant each seedling around

15cm apart in rows approximately

30cm apart.

Once the plants are around

1m you can stake them individually

but I prefer to put a stake at

either end of the rows and loop

a big piece of string around the

whole lot to keep them growing

together. Your plants will lean

against each other and grow

across the ground.

The seedlings will take around

eight to 12 weeks from planting

to produce beans ready for

harvesting.

Harvest the beans when the

pods are around 75-100mm.

How to plant a fruit tree

NOW IS a good time to get

those fruit trees planted.

Here are some tips:

•Dig a hole that is slightly

deeper than the root depth and

which allows for 20cm clearance

around the roots.

•Mix some compost with the

soil in the base of the hole, then

place the tree and slow release

fertiliser in the hole so that the

graft is above soil level.

•Create a small mound at the

base of the hole and spread the

roots out carefully.

•Before back filling, position

tree stakes. Partly back fill and

firmly compact.

•Continue back filling and compact

once or twice more.

•Water well.

•Stake securely to ensure root

zone can’t move on windy days.

Bare rooted trees bought must

not be left for roots to dry.

•Plunge in water prior to planting

to ensure the roots are moist

prior to planting.

with Real Pet Food

Feeding pets the right food helps keep

them healthy and in good condition.

“Cats and dogs are carnivores, born to

eat real meat and not dog biscuits that are

full of grains,” says Bernie owner of Real

Petfood in Rolleston.

Real Petfood sells a wide range of top

quality pet meat products, all at extremely

competitive prices. Their meat is absolutely

natural with no additives, preservatives or

fillers whether fresh or frozen raw mutton,

beef, horse, chicken or rabbit. They have

pet mince, steak pieces, puppy mixes,

meaty bones, tripe and brisket bones.

The birds are not forgotten either, with a

selection of seed mixes available, including

wild bird seed and bird feeders. There

are also mixes for pet guinea pigs, rats

and mice and a small selection of animal

paraphernalia.

Real Petfood’s dog mixes of beef, horse

and mutton are very popular. These come

in a range of sizes, from 500gram bags

through to 25kg lots of free flow bags.

“Horse meat is non-allergenic so vets

often prescribe it for dogs that react to

beef,” explains Bernie who also advises

that only raw mutton must be frozen

before feeding to a dog.

Real Petfood sources its meat from local

farmers and processes it in their own

abattoir, ensuring fresh meat each day.

Their frozen free-flow packs offer

convenience. Just take out what you need

and defrost in a microwave when you get

home; leaving a meaty bone to entertain

the dog while away at work.

Real Petfood has five staff sourcing,

processing and selling pet meat in handy

sized packs that are available direct to

customers from their Rolleston outlet with

free delivery available to customers (in and

around Rolleston) who spend over $70.

You will also be able to order on-line soon.

Real Petfood can be found at shop 4,

Driven

Mitsubishi gives ASX a fresh face

• By Ross Kiddie

MITSUBISHI Motors New

Zealand has been busy over the

last 12 months.

A raft of facelifted models has

landed, a new Outlander, Mirage

and ASX are now on dealers’

showroom floors. Each has a significantly

different appearance,

and I’ve covered the changes in

recent evaluations.

The last in my schedule to

drive was the ASX, an acronym

for active smart crossover, and

while the changes aren’t major

they certainly provide a fresher

exterior look, giving it more of a

Mitsubishi family appearance.

The interior has enhanced

specification features and a bit of

tidy up to make it more comfortable,

it also gets extra technical

gadgets to make it more functional

and user-friendly.

That along with a revised lineup

– now there are only four

models – the ASX is destined

to be a strong competitor in the

mid-size sport utility vehicle market,

landing from just $36,690.

The test car was the VRX, twowheel-drive,

2-litre at $40,590.

Petrol-power will get you into

front-wheel drive only; if you

want four-wheel-drive you are

locked into the 2.3-litre diesel

variants listing at $41,990 and

$45,990 (VRX).

MITSUBISHI ASX: Fresh look with a Mitsubishi family appearance.

The ASX follows in the wheel

tracks of the SUV Outlander and

takes on board many of the elements

which have made it so successful,

albeit in a smaller size.

In VRX specification the level of

fitment sits towards high. For that

money it comes well equipped

with full leather trim and heated

front seats, dash-mounted display

screen with rear view reversing

camera, keyless entry and ignition,

cruise control, comprehensive trip

computer, and all the safety kit

to earn it a five-star Australasian

New Car Assessment Program

safety rating.

Under the bonnet lies a 1998cc,

16-valve, twin-camshaft engine.

It is much the same unit which

powers Lancer and stands out

for its relatively high power

output (112kW) and strength

low down, courtesy of a 200Nm

torque figure. Together the power

and torque outputs combine to

provide strong mid-range performance,

easily cutting out a

120km/h from 80km/h overtaking

time in 6sec. For the record, it

will also launch from a standstill

to 100km/h in 9.9sec.

Just like the Lancer, the ASX

drives out of a six-step continuously

variable transmission.

That’s no surprise, Mitsubishi

have embraced CVT transmission

and it has worked well with

Outlander and Lancer. In the

ASX it is equally as efficient, taking

the load off the engine and

helping promote respectable fuel

• Price – Mitsubishi ASX VRX,

$40,590

• Dimensions – Length,

4355mm; width, 1810mm;

height, 1640mm

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

front-wheel-drive,

1998cc, 112kW, 200Nm,

continuously variable

automatic

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 9.9sec

• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km

usage results.

In the VRX variant, steering

wheel-mounted paddles provide

the driver with a manual sequential

function. They will lock the

transmission into six pre-set

gearing steps to provide optimum

performance and engine braking

on hill descent.

Interaction between the engine

and gearbox is constantly reactive,

engine response is crisp, yet

it is docile and ambles along at

city speeds working the lower

part of the rev band to meet fuel

efficiency expectation.

According to Mitsubishi, the

ASX in two-wheel-drive form

will return a combined cycle

average of 7.4-litres per 100km

(38mpg). My time with the test

car constantly listed around

10l/100km (28mpg) with a

7l/100km (35mpg) figure available

at a constant 100km/h in the

tallest part of the gearing (engine

speed 1800rpm). They are satisfactory

figures and don’t come at

the cost of engine performance.

The ASX feels lively beneath

the throttle and will respond to

accelerator request instantly as

the power is gathered up by the

CVT belt.

I took the test car inland

between the two gorge bridges.

The piece of road in-between

provides a good mix of corners,

the ASX isn’t bothered when

placed quickly into a bend, the

suspension soaks up uneven road

surfaces and gravitational movement

is arrested smoothly.

When the ASX is presented

with a bit of a handling challenge

not only does it cope capably, it

imparts a comfortable in-cabin

sensation for the occupants. The

seats are well formed, especially

the rears which have had a bit of

an upgrade, also the entire construction

technique doesn’t jeopardise

the SUV concept.

Space on board isn’t overwhelming

but it is adequate, for

three in the rear it’s no squeeze,

each has just the right amount of

leg and shoulder room.

The ASX is there for those

who want to be part of the SUV/

crossover experience, and it will

fulfil that role admirably.

HIGH SCHOOL OPEN DAYS

Lincoln High School

Lincoln High School

As we head toward the mid part of the year, those parents with year 8 pupils will be

looking at secondary school choices for their child in 2018.

Open days are a great opportunity not only for parents to see what the school can

offer but also give prospective students a chance to familiarise themselves with the

surroundings and learn about the options available to them.

Lincoln High School values lifelong

learning, respect, pride and doing good

for others. These are very evident in the

classroom and around the school. The

students are friendly and respectful of

others. The highly trained staff work

alongside students to ensure everyone

seeks to be the very best they can be.

The school has over 1600 students

from a number of different cultures and

backgrounds. Each student is valued for

what they bring to the school. The school

encourages individuality and excellence

in academic, cultural and sporting

interests. There is a highly functioning

School Council, a Junior Council and a

competitive House System.

Lincoln High School believes

participation in extra-curricular activities

is an important part of every student’s

growth and development. Students

are encouraged to be involved in the

performing arts opportunities and the

many successful sporting teams.

Lincoln High School seeks the highest

good in all that it does and aims to see

its students leave as lifelong learners as a

result of having positive and rewarding

experiences.

The open day for Lincoln High School

is on Thursday 18 May between 4pm and

6pm.

Rolleston College

The newest of the secondary schools,

Rolleston College will be offering a new

intake of year 9 students in 2018. The

school is slightly different as it goes

through the five years of transition until it

has a full year 9-13 allocation in 2021 with

next year’s roll only incorporating year 9

and 10 students.

This future focused and inclusive

secondary school provides a learnercentered

education for the rapidly growing

wider Rolleston community. Its aim is to

provide a challenging and empowering

learning environment, to develop the skills,

knowledge and characteristics necessary

to enable its learners to shape their lives,

develop communities and transform their

futures.

Rolleston College open day is on

Monday 8 May from 6pm to 7pm.

It is also holding a community open day

on Wednesday 31 May from 6pm to 8pm

for those community members who would

like to have a look at the new educational

facility.

Ellesmere College

Ellesmere College is a year 7 to 13 high

school situated in Leeston. I The Ellesmere

Ethos RISE (respect, integrity, success and

empathy) is instilled in all members of

the school community. The school’s focus

is to cater for the diversity of all learners,

engaging and enabling students to excel

and succeed.

Ellesmere College open day is on

Thursday 8 June.

Darfield High School

Darfield High School is a co-educational,

Year 7 to Year 13 school. This is a community

school providing an environment in which

each student is supported to gain the

knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary

for successful and confident living.

Darfield High School open day is on

Thursday 27 July at 6.30pm.

Selwyn is lucky enough

to have four secondary

schools which provide

education opportunities for

pupils in the region.

Darfield High School

Ellesmere College Te Kareti o Waihora

Ellesmere College is a friendly, familyfocused

school, with a caring, inclusive

culture. Our aim is to have engaged

students who are enabled to excel. We

enjoy a strong learning

partnership between

students, parents,

Whanau and staff and

we are proud of the

great support we have

from our community.

Learning innovation

at the College is

strengthened by the strong school values

of respect, integrity, success and empathy

and these qualities support our high

academic achievement and personal

excellence. Our courses develop the

skills required by our community and give

students the foundation for future success

in this rapidly changing world.

Thirty kilometres from Christchurch, we

benefit from easy access to urban facilities

and from the community strengths of our

rural environment. We have close links

with primary and tertiary organisations,

allowing positive transitions through all

stages of education. Our facilities are an

integral part of community life.

Located in the rural township of

Leeston, Ellesmere College is a

co-educational state funded Decile

8 school with almost 600

students from Years 7 to

13 and our three main

contributing primary

schools are Leeston

Consolidated

School,

Southbridge

Primary

School and Dunsandel

Primary School.

The College has a

proud sporting and

cultural history and

frequently produces

results that are usually

associated with

much larger schools including national

titles. Academic results are consistently

high with many students gaining

Excellence and Merit Endorsements and

Scholarships. In 2016 we were the top

Decile 8, state co-educational school for

NCEA Level 2 achievement.

The College has a strong pastoral support

system that is based around four Whanau

groups: Rata, Rimu, Kowhai and Totara.

Class sizes in Years 7 to 10 are usually in

the mid-twenties while senior classes are

often much smaller.

Ellesmere College occupies a spacious

seven hectare site that includes facilities

for cricket, athletics, tennis, netball,

rugby and football. The buildings consist

of numerous classrooms together with

specialist rooms

for teaching

science,

agriculture,

technology, art,

music, drama, a full sized gymnasium,

a modern library and we have currently

embarked on an exciting Master Plan

rebuild programme.

Ellesmere College is an inclusive school

and aims to meet the learning needs of all

students.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections

in the Selwyn District

Sizing up a house design

Those looking to build a new home

are likely to tour show homes, checking

features, noting the number of rooms and

spaciousness of each, and making mental

comparisons with their existing living

quarters and what they perceive they will

need in their home.

There is no one ideal house size.

Determining square metre size depends

on one’s stage in the family life cycle and

lifestyle. Young couples, older people

downsizing and those living on their own

may want smaller homes whereas families

often seek space.

Visiting show homes is a good way to get

a spatial impression.

Many building companies have more

than one show home. This allows them to

demonstrate the range of work they do,

the quality of their workmanship, and to

feature house designs they have on their

books. These homes also provide examples

of the features that can be incorporated

into a new home.

Show homes vary in size. Some are less

than 200 square metres, others may be

around 210m², 220m² or closer to 240m².

For example, Artisan Homes’ Prebbleton

show home is 246m² and offers innovative

and energy efficient ideas.

The Faringdon line-up of show homes

offers comparison with homes of 184m² or

211m². Other show homes can be found

at Lincoln’s Te Whāriki and Flemington

subdivisions, in Prebbleton, as well as in

Levi Park and Goulds Road in Rolleston.

A smaller home may not always feel less

spacious. It depends on design and layout.

A larger home may offer the opportunity

for extra living area in a separate lounge, a

laundry room inside the house rather than

in the garage, wider entry and hallways,

and larger rooms overall. Extra features

such as walk-in pantries, ensuites and

walk-in robes in the main bedroom, and

additional storage cupboards can also

be accommodated as the square metres

increase.

Building smaller will not necessarily

equate to a significantly cheaper price.

While building companies work on a

square metre build figure, certain costs are

still incurred such as for the drain laying,

plumbing, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and

garage with the latter less costly to build.

Adding extra bathrooms and the like will

add more to the final price however, if the

square metres are taken up in living and

bedroom space or a wider hallway then

the cost is proportionately less. Higher

specified features will certainly increase

the cost of the build.

Making comparisons in both size and

features when viewing show homes and

house designs will help you determine

the size of home to build. Weigh your

needs and wants against any budgetary

constraints, ensuring you have all the facts

and a clear idea of costs before making

your final decision.

Mini makeover gives

living areas a lift

Don’t let heading into winter give you the

blues. Think of all the things you love about

the cooler seasons and give your home a

mini-makeover to make it the comfortable,

warm and welcoming home you desire.

Revamping your living and dining areas

will give your lived-in spaces a fresh new

feel. Unlike a renovation, a revamp (or

face lift) need not involve a huge financial

outlay. In fact it is an extremely budgetfriendly

way of giving your rooms a new

look as you can add and subtract pieces as

the pay packet allows.

Moving slowly over the next couple of

months is an advantage. If you don’t, after

all, like that bright pink cushion you had

planned to build your new look around,

you can change direction without having

spent too much money. Another advantage

of moving slowly to build your new look is

the time it allows you to hunt for just the

right pieces, or wait for the sales to offer

you bargains. Also have a look around your

home for items you could recover, paint or,

with a little tweaking, find new purpose for.

Start your facelift by deciding what sort of

look you’re going to aim for.

Browse magazines and the internet for

ideas, check paint colour charts for the

latest colour options. Visit furnishing stores

and take note of the different display areas -

how do they balance colour and texture?

Then find an item you would like to

build your new look around. This could

be a treasure you’ve had for a while or

something that you covet and have spotted

in a shop.

Your next step is to sit down with

pencil & paper & plan. List what items

can be changed and how, and what can’t.

Think colour, shades and tones and

complementary colours, think texture,

think pattern, think outside the square.

Think fabric, wood, plastic, old and new.

That comfy old chair doesn’t need to be

replaced.

Buy some furnishing fabric and recover

it (or have it recovered).What items have

other family members put aside because

they no longer need them but they’re ‘too

good to throw out’?

Once you’ve got some sort of plan

mapped out you can start work on creating

your new look.

Spend time browsing the shops to see

what is available in your chosen colour

- candles, photo frames, vases, pot plant

holders, wallpaper, fabric, large items and

small.

Looking for a property,

what really counts?

You are in the market for a new property,

scrolling the Internet, examining properties for

sale and zeroing in on those with potential. They

might be in locations that offer cheaper land,

larger houses, or convenience to work or school.

You may have visited show homes and open

homes becoming confused, overwhelmed or

swept away with emotional factors like having

everything new, or extra features such as three

car garaging.

To be happy with your choice, list the features

that you need, considering:

• Family space – Is there room for the

children to play indoors and for television and

entertainment units? Should this be open plan or

separated?

• Kitchen – What needs to be in your kitchen?

How serious are you about a butler’s pantry? Is

it a whim or something that offers a practical

solution to the way you use your kitchen?

• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum sizes?

Smaller bedrooms may translate to slightly

lower building costs while extra space can be

useful. When looking at existing homes, consider

whether the size of each bedroom is sufficient.

• Garaging – A standard double garage once

two cars are parked there offers little space for the

toys. What toys do you have and could they live

with the lawnmower in a garden shed, a cheaper

option to three car garaging? If the budget allows

and a larger garage with workshop is important,

make it a selection priority.

• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer

space for children, pets, hobbies, an expansive

garden and perhaps a home-run business but

they require work so are not for everyone and a

compact section might be more sensible if a tight

budget or busy lifestyle.

• Bathrooms – Second and third bathrooms are

great in homes with teenagers and a wet shower

room is ideal for young children. A bath might

be fashionable though is often not used and its

absence could mean a more spacious bathroom.

• Laundry – Would a laundry in the garage do

the job?

• Storage – How much storage do you need?

Weigh up what can truly be stored in the garage

once vehicles are in, a preference in winter.

Garages vary in size so check the size to ensure

your vehicles will fit. Look also at where else

the house offers storage capacity such as in hall

cupboards, a large hot water cylinder cupboard,

wardrobes (check their width and depth),

walk-in robe, attic storage trusses, as well as the

potential for hooks and shelving in the garage for

bikes, tools, garden equipment and even kayaks.

• Off-street parking – How many vehicles can

be parked on the driveway? Will this space be

sufficient?

• Garden - Is there sufficient space for your

children to play or for entertaining?

A checklist will allow you to determine what

will suit your needs, the point of the exercise,

saving you time looking at properties or potential

house designs while assisting you to decide

whether to buy a new or existing home with both

options having advantages and disadvantages.
