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 

CONTENTIOUS: A decision over the project to fence a section of Cave Stream on Flock Hill 

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.

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.”

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

“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

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

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.

WORLD STAGE: Jacob Douglas (front) has raced his way to Italy after claiming a national title last 

month. 

ON TOP: Jacob was dominant in Invercargill finishing more 

than four seconds ahead of his nearest rival.

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

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,

Special diets are also catered for, particularly 

gluten free diners, with a menu that clearly

dedicated fryer). 

Children are well looked after too. Select

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.

or dinner at Quartz but ensure you book so

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.

Since opening in Faringdon on 

Friday, 31st March, people have 

been visiting The Pedal Pusher in 

droves.

Facebook and were overwhelmed 

by the turnout. We never expected 

to be this busy,” advises Madlen 

Shaw who along with her husband, 

Wayne owns The Pedal Pusher.

community spirit in Rolleston. 

The restaurant and bar’s warm 

family friendly environment has 

certainly been drawing people into

much loved Pork Belly; Akaroa 

Salmon; and for something a little 

different, Confit Duck. The famous 

Chicken Sandwich is also on the 

lunch menu along with plenty of 

dietary options. 

Many people love our small plates 

for sharing as a nibble with drinks or 

before the main as a starter,” explains 

Madlen.

children’s menu with options 

including pan fried fish with fresh 

vegetables, steak with mashed

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. 

www.tik-etours.com 

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.

do some gardening. Most of these tasks are pretty easy, so don’t get 

too stressed thinking you will be out in the garden for endless hours!

Add organic compost to the soil to

want to also add some bark mulch 

to the top to help protect your 

plant’s roots from the winter chills. 

Handy tip: If the soil is too wet, don’t 

work on it. This will cause more damage than 

good. Just leave it until it dries up a bit!

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.

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.
