West Melton runners best in the mud

WEST MELTON School

finished as one of the top teams

in the 2017 UC Education Mud

Run on Sunday.

The school’s team, the

D*O*T*S, made up of pupils

Daisy, Otis, Ted and Stacey, won

the mixed teams race coming

fifth overall in all the events

against about 250 other teams.

St Thomas of Canterbury College

were first in the men’s race,

while St Margaret’s College

came first in the women’s race.

Nearly 1000 students and

50 teachers, representing 34

schools sprinted, splashed their

way through a muddy racetrack

at Motukarara.

The mud run was open to all

secondary and intermediate

schools.

Sport Canterbury chief executive

Julyan Falloon said it is an

event students and teachers

looked forward to every year.

“In particular, we see a

tremendous response from

young women who embrace the

chance to set a winter time goal,

get a team together and enjoy a

sense of achievement,” he said.

Mr Falloon said there is a

huge social element and sense of

fun in the event.

When the event was conceived

in 2011, it was a perfect

fit for post-quake Christchurch.

Call for

more

cemeteries

in district

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

ROLLESTON’S population is

growing so quickly it may need a

new cemetery.

Discussions have been under

way at the district council around

land capacity in the Rolleston area

and people wanting to bury loved

ones close to where they lived.

The growing township’s closest

cemeteries are based in Weedons

and on Shands Rd.

Doyleston Community Committee

chairman

Jack Pearcy called

for a new cemetery

that would

meet the anticipated

future size

of the township

in his Annual

Plan submission.

Rolleston is

Jack Pearcy

expected to reach nearly 18,000 by

2025.

As of July 1, 2016, Rolleston’s

population was 13,287.

But instead of looking at a new

cemetery as part of the 2017/2018

Annual Plan, the district council

has decided to hold off and look at

the provision of cemeteries as part

of its future District Plan review

and asset management plans.

Weedons Cemetery is about 5km

and Shands Rd Cemetery is about

11km distance from Rolleston.

Inside

News........................................3-7

THERE’S A grave situation

developing in Selwyn – the district

is going to need more cemeteries.

Rolleston appears to be the first

cab off the rank as we reveal on

page 1.

In eight years the town’s population

will reach 18,000, accelerating

like the rest of the district.

Discussions have been held

about land capacity in and around

Rolleston for another cemetery.

The district council hasn’t

factored a new cemetery into its

Annual Plan, but has signalled

cemeteries will be on the agenda

for future District Plan reviews.

Something I suspect all of us

don’t really want to think too

much about.

On a more cherry note – if you

are a Waihora rugby supporter

– they turned the tables on Southbridge

at the weekend. See page 15.

No plan yet for road repair

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

AN UNSEALED section of

a road in central Lincoln is

unlikely to be fixed until next

year at the earliest.

Residents have been calling

for about two thirds of West Belt

to be sealed north of the Gerald

St intersection.

The road is

littered with pot

holes which fill

up with water

when it rains

and makes it a

Grant Miller

bumpy ride for

residents when

they are driving

into and leaving their properties.

An idea to spend $50,000

on sealing and parking was

turned down at the annual plan

submission deliberations held

recently.

The road will now be considered

as part of the 2018-2028

Long Term Plan.

Selwyn Times reported in November

the sealing of the road

would be considered as part

of the estimated $36.6 million

worth of roading and infrastructure

upgrades as part of the

Lincoln Town Centre Plan.

District councillor Grant

Miller said he was disappointed

the project did not get approved

at the deliberations.

“I wanted to see it happen this

year but I didn’t win that battle

. . . it is still happening but it is

not going to happen as fast as I

would have liked,” he said.

At the deliberations, Cr Miller

said when attending the community

meetings he gets asked

the same question about the

road and it is difficult to answer.

His vote was recorded against

the project being held off to

be budgeted for the 2018-2028

Long Term Plan.

Deputy Mayor Malcolm

Lyall said West Belt has been

a concern for the ratepayers of

Lincoln for at least 10 years.

Mr Lyall said he was disappointed

a project to upgrade

Tosswill Rd, outside the

Prebbleton Domain was also

turned down at the annual plan

deliberations.

“It is a grassed area that really

needs to be sealed and angled

park because we get about a

thousand people playing touch

throughout the week and there

are cars for miles,” he said.

It was decided, the project

estimated to cost $95,000 would

be held over to the next Long

Term Plan process.

Mr Lyall said he is hopeful

West Belt at least may be able to

be done in an underspend in the

annual plan budget.

In Brief

WALK TO BE IMPROVED

The Arthur’s Pass Association

Committee is planning to extend

and improve the Arthur’s Pass

Historic Village Walk with a new

loop track and new information

plaques over the winter. The new

track will go through long-time

resident John Charles’ track and

property which runs along the

Bealey River flats. About 24 information

panels will be installed

which includes replacing and

exisitng the old ones. The cost of

installing the panels along with

printing brochures for visitors is

$3000.

FIRE RECOVERY PLAN

The district council has approved

the Port Hills Fire Recovery Plan

for Selwyn areas affected by the

fire. The plan will provide a framework

to enable the provision of

coordinated effort and processes to

manage social, built, economic and

natural environment issues arising

from the fire. The plan was released

for consultation with Port Hills

property owners and the public. A

range of future actions are identified

in the plan. These include

setting up a facilitated building

consent process for people who

are planning to carry out repairs

or build new houses following

fire damage, with consents being

prioritised.

What’s being done

about Canterbury’s

water quality?

Look a little deeper at the

action being taken to improve

our precious water.

This year, there are new requirements on farmers

to limit the effects of farming on water quality.

The majority of farmers are already doing the

right thing, but more needs to be done to truly

improve our precious water.

We are working with farmers so that they know

exactly what they need to do. It will take time

for these improvements to have an effect on our

water quality and quantity, but we’re off to a

good start.

Changing attitudes lower the number

• By Bridget Rutherford

DRINK DRIVING charges have

almost halved in Canterbury

over the past decade – a shift

police say is down to changed

attitudes.

The latest drink driving figures

show the number of people

charged for driving under the influence

of alcohol in Canterbury

was 1658 last year, compared

with 2543 in 2007.

Of those, 1604 were convicted

last year. There were 2433 convictions

in 2007.

Nationally, the number has

dropped from 27,328 a decade

ago, compared

with 16,304 in

2016.

Canterbury

road policing

manager Inspector

Al Stewart

(left) said police

were encouraged

by the downward trend.

“The trauma and grief caused

by an alcohol-related serious

crash is massive, so less people

affected by alcohol on our roads

make them safer for all road

users and reduces harm in our

communities.”

He said changing public attitudes

to drink driving was the

reason for the decline. It

was not seen as acceptable any

more, he said.

Inspector Stewart said police

had made strategic efforts targeting

alcohol harm, especially on

the roads.

“This has been supported by

the lower drink driving limits

which have encouraged people

to think about their drinking

behaviour and plan to make it

home safely.”

The breath-alcohol limit was

lowered from 400mcg/L to

250mcg/L in December, 2014.

But the limit that triggered prosecution

at court was 400mcg/L.

The latest stats did not include

the number of people given an

infringement notice for driving

over the 250mcg/L limit since it

changed.

But in 2014, the number of

people charged in Canterbury

was 2235, before dropping to

1852 in 2015 and again in 2016.

Bars and pubs have noticed

people are more aware of what

they were drinking, with many

patrons now choosing light beers

and wines.

The Lincoln Club, which operates

the Famous Grouse Hotel,

has seen a drop-off in patronage

since the drink driving limits

were lowered.

President Lynn Townsend said

people were choosing to drink at

home. Mr Townsend said the hotel

had two courtesy vans to get

people home safely and a range

of low alcohol beers.

He said the low alcohol beverages

available gives people the

option of having a couple of

beers without having too much.

Hotel manager Will Stock said

the vans are used regularly by

patrons in the evening.

Southbridge Hotel manager

Gagandeep Vashisht said the

hotel has courtesy vans and a

proper menu of food available to

prevent drink driving.

He said the hotel had not have

a loss of patronage due to more

people at home due to the hotel

providing live bands.

Sheffield Hotel owner Desrae

Johnson said the attitude against

drink driving had greatly improved

and it uses the courtesy

van a lot more than in the past.

“We have a full restaurant here,

we have an extensive bar and

menu that takes priority . . . we

have a low alcohol on tap,we have

low alcohol in the fridge

and we have non alcohol

beverages available all the time,”

she said.

The statistics showed in

Christchurch, 1562 appeared in

drink driving last year. It was

2080 in 2007.

In comparison, last year 78

people appeared in the Ashburton

District Court charged

with drink driving, and 170 in

Timaru.

In 2007, people aged 19-yearsold

and under had the most

convictions for drink driving in

Christchurch with 473.

But last year, the number of

under-19s convicted had dropped

to 154, and the 20-24-year-old

bracket was the highest with 323

convictions.

That was followed by the 25-29

age bracket with 274.

Inspector Stewart said police

“Police will continue to enforce

alcohol-related offending at a

high level to reduce the trauma

and family harm that results

from it.”

While the number of

people charged with drink

driving in Canterbury

has almost halved in the

last 10 years – changing

public attitude has not

deterred others

•A 38-year-old woman

was caught drink driving

more than four times

the legal limit with her

two young children in

Rolleston. Melanie Susan

Trebilco pleaded guilty to

a charge of driving with

excess blood alcohol after

being caught at a random

stop on Tennyson St on

December 9. Her alcohol

level was 1157mcg/L.

Police said she refused to

let officers escort her three

and nine-year-old children,

as the car did not have car

seats. She was disqualified

from driving for eight

months, and fined $1000 in

January.

•On the same day,

another Rolleston mother

recorded a reading of

696mcg/L when stopped

in Faringdon subdivision

with her four-year-old child

in the car. The 35-yearold

was pulled over after

failing to stop at a stop

sign.

•Well-known race car

driver and businessman

Paul Kelly was caught by

police doing a burnout

in a classic car outside

a Christmas party while

under the influence. The

47-year-old had been

drinking for the day on

December 16 and blew

853mcg/L. He was

disqualified from driving

for six months and fined

$600.

• Sarah Jane Arrow was

on a zero-alcohol licence

when she got behind the

wheel after drinking last

year. The 45-year-old was

driving along Main Rd,

four times the legal limit,

and failed to take a bend,

crashing into pedestrian

Ben Appleton. He flew

2m onto the rocks below,

suffering two broken

legs, and a fractured skull

and spine. In September

Arrow was sentenced to

two-and-a-half years in

prison and was banned

from driving for the rest of

her life. She was ordered

to pay $2500 in reparation

to Mr Appleton. It was her

fourth conviction for drink

driving.

Complex for seniors gets $25k

• Georgia O’Connor-Harding

A NEW residential complex

for over 65-year-olds, single or

widowed in the community, is

now one step closer to opening

in Leeston.

The Ellesmere Vintage Club

has presented a $25,000 cheque

towards completing the Abbeyfield

Ellesmere complex.

A tractor raffle and vintage

fair fundraiser, which showcased

more than 100 vintage

and classic tractors dating from

the early 1900s, was held earlier

this year. It was organised by

the club to help raise funds for

the home.

After eight years of planning

by local volunteers, construction

of the Flannery St complex

began last year.

The complex will be the first

of its kind to be built in Selwyn

and is expected to be completed

in October or November.

The overall cost of the complex

is to be $2.5 million and

the committee has raised $2.1

million.

“Our current target for fundraising

is a further $400,000

and this generous donation

of $25,000 goes a long way in

getting us closer to our target,”

committee chairman Bruce

GENEROUS: The Ellesmere Vintage Club with a $25,000 cheque they raised for the Abbeyfield

Ellesmere committee.

ON THE WAY: Construction on a new residential complex

in Leeston is under way with the building expected to open

later this year.

Cochrane said.

Residents living in the house,

owned by The Vintage Village

Trust, will be given weekly

rental to cover meals, rates,

insurance and power.

Members of the community

considering applying for the

complex are required to be able

to care for their personal needs

independently.

Mr Cochrane said he would

like to thank Ellesmere Vintage

Club chairman Stu Donald

and his committee along with

Southbridge-based Palmers

Transport founders Brian and

Averil Palmer for donating their

Massey Harris Pony tractor for

the raffle.

To make a further donation

to the complex phone Mr

Cochrane on 027 432 9378 or

committee member Murray

Stephens on 027 221 6189.

Countless young people were affected

by the sudden and dramatic

change to their sporting landscape

– with facilities lost and clubs presented

with the ultimate challenge.

From the start, Sport Canterbury

had a vision for the unique

secondary schools event.

“The event helped reach out

to those students who may not

participate in traditional sporting

codes,” Mr Falloon said.

Six years later, thanks to a

continuing partnership with UC

Education, the event has become

one of New Zealand’s most highly

anticipated events for secondary

school students.

Sport Canterbury Event coordinator

Isaac Sutherland said

Darfield is one of the events greatest

supporters.

He said from the beginning of

the events, Darfield High School

has been on board – 100 per cent.

Darfield High School sports coordinator

Karen Armstrong said

there are many reasons the event

has inspired their students.

“Our year 11 physical education

class has been encouraged to compete

as part of their course . . . plus

this year, the year 7 and 8 students

are getting involved,” she said.

paddock 12 months

ago. Now thanks to

the hard work from

founding principal Steve

Saville and his team, the

township now has its first

high school, built to cater

up to 1500 students.

He spoke to Georgia

O’Connor-Harding

How are you finding your role

at Rolleston College?

We have been running for 15

weeks. We have got 224 year 9

learners and it has been busy.

Today, for example, the students

are getting ready for their rocket

launching – they have been

making rockets. They have been

making tape murals to put up on

the walls along with video making

they were doing yesterday

on the environment. They have

heaps of ideas including putting

in wind turbines. Our sports

teams are up and running. We

will have football and netball

teams travelling into Christchurch.

We had Canterbury health

educators here for a conference

today-the students sang them in.

It is very busy.

Are you trying to get students

away from doing your traditional

subjects such as math

It is about developing them as

a person and the attributes they

need to function in the changing

Was it a big leap for you in

your career taking on a new

school as a principal?

Yes, it is very rare and a

privilege. A year and a half ago it

was basically a paddock and this

stage last year we were thinking

about employing people. Now we

are a school with 26 teachers and

about 35 staff in total.

Tell me about your background

in education?

I have been involved in education

for more than 35 years now,

my entire adult working life. I

have been involved in secondary

education in a variety or

roles from teacher to head of

department to principal roles

in a number of schools in the

Auckland region. I have had

five years working at Auckland

University and Waikato University

in curriculum development

and teacher development and a

project called Te Kotahitanga. I

was the English adviser for the

Auckland region.

Why did you move to Canterbury?

The challenge and opportunity.

Without meaning to be, I

have been involved in change

and management in education

for about 15-20 years by working

with new schools.

How have you found the

Rolleston community?

Because it is a young community

and people have moved

here over a very recent time it is

a can-do community. It is establishing

its soul and culture while

it is growing. There is a vibrancy

about what is possible. I like the

fact people have come here from

all over – it is like they have been

blown here by the wind.

Any facilities you would like

to see put into Rolleston as it

grows?

They could all be bigger – the

pool and library. The sports

centre being planned I hope that

will be big because that will be

huge. All the things being spoken

about in the long-term plan like

a picture theatre. There are going

to be a huge number of teenagers

in the community over the next

five years and the facilities need

to be there for them so they can

be actively involved in sport art

and culture. It is important we

give young people in this community

things to do so they don’t

have to drive into Christchurch

or even to Lincoln.

What do you enjoy doing in

you spare time?

I like drawing – I am not

saying I am any good at it. I like

reading, and the outdoors. I take

What books are you reading? studied at Horowhenua College

I am reading a science fiction When were you born?

I was born in a small town

called Westgate-on-Sea in the

north-east of Kent, England. But

my family is all from north London.

I went back when I did the

OE as we all do in our early 20s

for a couple of years but I have

probably been back at least four

times since.

It wasn’t a place you wanted

to live?

I love London, I think it is the

most fantastic place but I couldn’t

live there.

What made you want to go

into education in the first place?

Initially it was a love of literature

and a love of language but

then it became enthusiasm for

having an affect on young people’s

lives. Teenagers are amazing.

Do you have any children?

I have two adult children. Our

son Keegan, 27, is in London

working as a civil engineer and

Cosette, 24, is an urban planner

at the Auckland Council. They

both have busy jobs.

Was a big deal for you and

your wife Diane to move to

Selwyn?

The time was right, our kids

were adults. We are a tight family

but it was time for us to have a

bit of adventure as well. They are

very excited about it.

Was Keegan affected at all by

the London fire or the recent

terrorist attacks?

We actually told him ourselves

about the big fire because he was

working. He works right around

the London Bridge and Borough

Market area where the attack

happened but he was in Portugal

that weekend so we were relieved

he was elsewhere.

You must worry as a parent?

Yes, but you don’t live your life

in fear. I was rather he was out

living life than not travelling.

You have to weigh that up.

You said:

Kirsty Tovey – Love this.

My daughter Isla stood in a shop

once when she was six and asked

me why all the girls clothes were

pink or purple and covered in

butterlies and flowers. She didn’t

want to wear any of those. So we

headed over to the boys department

and she has been wearing

boys clothes ever since, she is

now almost nine. I love the idea

of gender neutral clothes, well

done Jaz.

Cathryn Lucy – Unfortunately

women can’t wear “boys”

clothes forever to have the style

they like, unless their body shape

allows for it. Would be so good

to have more styles accessible for

women but made for our bodies.

Jasmin Raddon – Yes. My

girl has been wearing “boys”

clothes for years – it is just starting

to be a bit stressful now – as she

is now 13 and male clothing does

not really account for boobs and

hips. Would love to see gender

neutral clothing widespread and

available everywhere, so shopping

can be fun for those who fall outside

of gender “norms.”

Georgie Southen – Hey.

Gender neutral is a simple concept

for kidswear, but for adults

how do you deal with the aspect

of fit? As male and female bodies

are different shapes.

Jill Reesby – My daughter is

a tomboy too, hates the girly stuff

and, yes, we buy boys clothing.

She is now 11 and luckily is very

slim with no curves yet. Even

I buy men’s clothing and shoes

when I can, unfortunately I come

with extreme curves, lol.

Cathryn Lucy – The only

difference that there actually

needs to be is with the tailoring.

Awesome idea.

Man Dee Nurse – You are

awesome Jaz.

Call for more cemeteries

•From page 1

Mr Pearcy told Selwyn Times if

someone from outside the

Rolleston township supported

the cemetery, it could not be

classed as an organisation

thinking of themselves.

“It is about putting aside for

a piece of land so people have

somewhere to go,” Mr Pearcy

said.

His comments were backed

by Rolleston Residents

Association committee

chairwoman Leonie

MacLachlan and Rolleston

Community Centre committee

chairman Edward Ellens.

“I don’t think we need it at

the moment but we will in the

future,” Mrs MacLachlan

said.

Mr Ellens said it was not a bad

idea with the way Rolleston was

growing.

In the past five years, the

district council recorded in its

maintained cemeteries there was

an increase in the number of

deaths from 120 in 2013 to 141

by 2017.

The council’s open space

and property manager Mark

Rykers said the statistics were

not recorded to show deaths

in specific areas and people in

POPULATION GROWTH: Shands Rd Cemetery (above) and

Weedons Cemetery are the closest cemeteries to Rolleston

township.

Rolleston may choose to use a

number of cemeteries.

The district council estimated

in the last Long Term Plan

(2015-25) most existing

cemeteries had a capacity of

50 years or more apart from

Prebbleton and Springston

cemetery.

“There will likely be a

trend to a greater proportion

of cremations to burials as

the district becomes more

urbanised,” Mr Rykers said.

Mr Rykers said while there is

no specific land identified for a

cemetery, land purchased earlier

this year for a large scale park

in Rolleston on the corner of

Weedons and Levi Rds could be

used for this purpose.

West Melton pupils hunt down

clues in environmental challenge

A LETTER hunt to celebrate the

importance of trees has been

held at West Melton School.

The school celebrated Arbor

Day recently with a “letter hunt”

organised by the school’s year 4

to 8 pupils, known as the Eco-

Warriors

The hunt required pupils

to work out various clues that

led CHIEVERS

to the location of a team of

Eco-Warriors.

At each point, the pupils gathered

information and a letter

about the role of sustainability

in the environment. The word

that had to be unjumbled from

the letter hunt was “sustainable.”

Meanwhile, the school’s

intermediate pupils won a Canterbury

Waihora tip-up champions

• By Gordon Findlater

WAIHORA HAVE tuned

the tides on recent Combined

Country champions Southbridge

with a 29-24 win just a fortnight

after they lost to their rivals.

They went down to Southbridge

25-31 in last month’s

Combined Country semi-final.

Southbridge may have had a case

of a championship hangover

with Waihora dominating play

in the opening 40min to lead

24-7.

“We were really impressive to

begin the match. They played a

few different combinations but

I was really happy with how we

played,’’ said Waihora coach Joff

Moore.

The visitors rolled the changes

after the break and the momentum

turned immediately as

Southbridge roared into life to

take the game down to the wire.

One try to Waihora in the

second half was the difference as

they hung onto win 29-24.

Waihora are well and truly in

the play-off race for the Ellesmere

title with just one loss to

their name through five games.

They will hope to record bonus

point wins in their next fixtures

Cabbage trees host to moth

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

MANY OF New Zealand’s

native insects feed exclusively

on one plant species or genus.

For example, the iconic cabbage

tree (Cordyline species)

has 10 insect species that are

reliant on this host for their

survival.

One common endemic species

is the cabbage tree moth

(Epiphryne verriculata) which

is 10mm long and has a 35mm

wingspan.

The moth’s parallel vein

patterns on its wings provide

excellent camouflage when

resting on the dead cabbage

tree leaves.

Eggs are laid in rows on the

underside of the cabbage tree

leaves and are green at first,

but change to brown then red

before hatching approximately

14 days after being laid.

The larvae eat the new

leaves that are in the heart of

the plant and create distinctive

notches and holes on the

leaves.

The larvae, if present, can be

seen by separating the smaller

overlapping central leaves on

the plant.

The fine frass (insect poo)

is often a sign that larvae is

present. The larvae have several

natural enemies including

parasitic and predatory insects,

and birds such as the starling.

Moths are preyed upon by

insectivorous birds such as the

fantail.

Her job as secretary is an unpaid

considerable amount of her time.

She has been particularly active

and successful in fostering relationships

with sponsors who are

a key component of the financial

viability of the club.

A recent initiative she has promoted

is a sponsors’ tournament

which is now held annually to

reward and recognise sponsors

at the club.

Marie has also been instrumental

in promoting and

implementing a tree replantment

programme to improve the

course and the development of

a strategic capital expenditure

Narrow defeat for Lincoln


LINCOLN Combined suffered the

narrowest of defeats to Shirley Boys’

High School 15-17 and now face a

tough run into the school holiday

break.

They travel north to play Waimea

Combined in their next UC Championship

match this weekend before

hosting Christ’s College the following

week in their final match before the

break.

An unconverted try was the only

thing to separate Lincoln and Shirley

Boys. Lincoln trailed 0-10 at the halftime

break, but didn’t take long to fire

up in the second half, scoring their

first try just 5min in.

First-five Josh Davidson broke the

Shirley defensive line with some silky

footwork just outside the 22m line before

putting through halfback Logan

Crofts for their opening try. The effort

was converted by centre Brett Gillan

to narrow the gap to 7-10.

Shirley re-established their 10-point

lead shortly after with a converted try.

With less than 10min to play,

Lincoln found themselves camped on

the Shirley 5m line. Replacement prop

Cameron Jordan looked to be the

hero for his side picking up the ball

at the ruck and crashing over the line.

However, Gillan was unable to

convert the try and found themselves

trailing 15-17 with just minutes

remaining.

Shirley Boys were able to hold

their nerve and see out the tightest of

victories.

PROP: Cameron Jackson scored for Lincoln with less than

10min to play to give them a sniff of victory.

Extending our footpath network

Proposal: We consulted on providing $347,000 in extra funding

to allow footpath extension work to continue at 19 locations in

2017/18.

Your comments: online survey and submissions indicated most

people supported continuing with our footpath extension work.

Our decision: this work will go ahead as planned.

Annual Plan focuses on

investments for growth

The Council adopted our Annual Plan for the next 12 months last week. Consultation on the plan

closed in May, with 189 submissions received, while 241 people completed an online survey.

We were pleased to get a wide range of people participating in the consultation and sharing their

views on our proposals – this provided valuable input into the Council’s deliberations. Through

the plan we consulted on a number of proposals designed to improve services for our growing

population. Your comments and our decisions on the issues we consulted on through the Annual

Plan are summarised below.

Designing and planning for new pool space

Proposal: we consulted on providing $250,000 in our budget for 2017/18 to allow feasibility,

design and planning work to be carried out for additional pool space at the Selwyn Aquatic

Centre. A separate budget would be required to fund construction of any new facilities.

Your comments: online survey comments and submissions showed strong support for this proposal.

Our decision: The Council confirmed $250,000 would be included in the Annual Plan to carry out

feasibility, design and planning work to add new pool space and additional learn to swim office

space to the Aquatic Centre. Further community consultation on the new pool space is planned

as part of the Aquatic Facilities Plan review. From this information a proposal on developing new

pool space will be included in our Long-Term Plan for 2018-2028 for consultation.

A new Health Hub

Proposal: we proposed to undertake a feasibility study on establishing a Health Hub to provide space

for health professionals, not-for-profit organisations and commercial businesses as an investment which

would provide a return over time.

Your comments: Submissions and survey comments indicated strong support for this proposal.

Our decision: We are planning to progress this idea. A project team will now be created, consultation

will be undertaken, and concept plans and a financial model will be developed.

A standard rate for stormwater

Proposal: we proposed replacing existing township-based stormwater rates (which previously varied

from $24 to $278) with a standard rate of $85 for the 2017/18 year.

Your comments: online survey and submission comments showed a range of views on this proposal

– but more survey participants and submitters supported the change to the new rate than keeping the

township-based rates.

Our decision: The Council confirmed it would introduce the $85 standard rate for the 1 July 2017 - 30

June 2018 year. This rate will be paid in townships where the Council manages stormwater.

Other changes to the Annual Plan

We have included additional funding in the Annual Plan to take advantage of a subsidised funding offer

from the NZ Transport Agency which has recently been announced. This will allow older, inefficient

street lights to be replaced with new more energy efficient LED lights. NZTA may fund 85% of this cost.

$315,000 in Council funding has been allocated to take advantage of this subsidy subject to final NZTA

approval for a $2.1 million programme focused in the Ellesmere area.

A budget has been included to allow for roading works that may be required to connect Lincoln

township to a new school planned by the Ministry of Education. $18,000 has been included for

additional road safety initiatives requested by the Selwyn Road Safety Sub-committee.

Rates

The average rates increase for the next financial year is 4.5 percent. Rate changes will vary for

individual households depending on the mix of rates households pay, changes relating to shifting to a

standard stormwater rate and local expenditure on halls and reserves.

Extending library and service

centre opening hours

Proposal: We consulted on altering library hours during the week

to provide later closing times and longer weekend opening hours

to provide better access to library services. We also consulted on

offering Council service centre functions on Saturdays at Darfield,

Leeston and Lincoln Libraries.

Your comments: there were mixed views about this proposal with

more people indicating they didn’t support this change than those

who did. A number of people opposed Sunday opening or made

suggestions on alternative opening hours.

Our decision: opening hours are being discussed with library

staff and will include longer Saturday opening for library services

but not Sunday opening. Service centres will also be open on

Saturday mornings. Library usage will be reviewed during a six

month trial period at each location. The library rate will increase

from $180 to $190.

Continuing investment in roading

Proposal: we proposed to retain additional funding for road

maintenance through the $60 targeted rate, to enable road

reconstruction work to continue.

Your comments: 61 submitters commented on this issue, with 53

submissions supporting this funding being continued.

Our decision: we will retain the roading rate as proposed.

On the roads this week

A sewer lateral will be laid along Norman Kirk Drive to service the

new school buildings at Rolleston School. The works will affect

Norman Kirk Drive where stop/go traffic controls will be used and

parking will be reduced while works occur. Sewer line installation

work is also continuing on Shands and Selwyn Roads - traffic

delays may occur due to this work. The widening of Jones Road has

been completed north of Lyttleton Port Company.

The intersection of Hoskyns and Sandy Knolls Roads will be

upgraded and a change of priority will be completed by the end

of July. Once these changes are completed, traffic approaching

this intersection from Sandy Knolls Road will need to stop. Traffic

delays may occur and detours may operate while the intersection

is upgraded.

Bridge replacement is continuing on Jarvis Road with the road

currently closed for this work. Culvert pipe construction is planned

on Algidus Road, and unsealed maintenance work is planned on Zig

Zag Road with traffic controls operating at both sites.

Christchurch Southern Motorway Extension – NZ

Transport Agency

The one-way system remains on Waterholes Road from Hamptons

Road to 833 Waterholes Road running south towards Robinsons

Road with detours in place, and changes to the road alignment to

allow for construction of the bridge. Stop-Go systems will be in

place this week along Jones Road, at the intersection with Weedons

Ross Road during tree felling operations.

Please be alert to changes in the traffic management, follow the onsite

signage and drive to the conditions.

Herbs flourish in winter

• By Marilyn Wightman

Many herbs are underground

for winter months.

They know how to take a

holiday and avoid the cold

weather. Winter, though, is

when ‘pot herbs’ come into

their own. They gained their

name centuries ago when the

daily food was prepared in

probably the only pot in the

house (or hovel), which sat over

the fireplace.

MARJORAM (ORIGANUM

VULGARE)

Able to be called either

marjoram or oregano, there

are about 25 different varieties

available in New Zealand. Rule

of thumb is the lighter the

flower colour the stronger the

flavour. The colour range of

flowers goes from white, light

pink, through to dark pink and

deep purple.

Oregano is a low-growing,

spreading perennial. It is only

in summer that the flowering

sprigs grow to 30cm or more.

THYME (THYMUS

VULGARIS)

The thyme family has lots

of varieties, mainly shrubby

perennials that get 30cm high.

Finely leaved and multi-stalked,

thyme likes sun and good

shelter.

ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS

OFFICINALIS)

A heat-loving herb, rosemary

flourishes in well-drained,

sunny positions in the garden.

Its Latin name translates as

‘rose of the sea’.

Rosemary grows into a

healthy large bush in the right

conditions. A trim in autumn

helps keep it tidy and uniform,

as well as compact and less

prone to wind damage.

SAGE (SALVIA VULGARE)

The Latin name comes from

‘salvere’ meaning ‘to save’.

This perennial herb grows up

to 50cm high in a sheltered, full

sun position where it will thrive

for many years. It dislikes heavy,

boggy clay and if conditions are

not to its liking then it will die.

Mounding it up to give better

drainage is one solution.

There are different varieties

available – red sage, variegated

sage and non-flowering types as

well as the usual blue-flowered

common sage.

CHERVIL (ANTHRISCUS

CEREFOLIUM)

This herb is a short-lived

annual that thrives in winter.

Once spring arrives and the

weather warms, chervil leaves

quickly turn pink. The plant

shoots up into flowering mode,

sets seed and dies. Leave the

bedraggled plant as long as

possible so those elongated,

black seeds mature and drop to

provide new plants once winter

weather arrives the following

year. Chervil has a delicate,

anise flavour.

SAVORY (SATUREJA

MONTANA)

This little-known herb has

‘montana’ – Latin for mountain

– in its name, indicating it is

a hardy herb. Savory prefers

poor soils and good drainage.

Adding too much compost

or manure tends to soften

the growth so give it just a

moderate top-dressing in

autumn and spring.

BAY (LAURUS NOBILIS)

The hardy, leathery leaved

trees provide great shade, can

withstand windy conditions, are

easily clipped and shaped, and

grow as well in a container as in

the garden. Trees can grow up

to 5m high if left untrimmed.

Bays look after themselves.

An annual dressing of compost

and manure is their one

requirement.

Intelligro entrance changes

If you are travelling

If you are travelling

from Christchurch, the

best way to Intelligro

is to turn right from

Main South Road onto

Curraghs Road, then left

onto Manion Road just

before the railway.

Visit our facebook page for

regular updates: @igro.co.nz

like to extend our thanks to you all for your patience

and understanding as these changes take place. The

new road will definitely make things a lot safer for

everyone, so we are looking forward to having it

all completed.Once the road is all sealed, you will

be able to access Intelligro from both the Weedons

Ross Road, and Curraghs Road entrances. Our new

address will be 261 Manion Road.

Sustainable Farming Fund

hits 1000th project

Primary Industries Minister Nathan

Guy and Associate Minister Louise Upston

celebrated the 1000th Sustainable Farming

Fund project, and awarded two Emerging

Leaders scholarships at an event kicking off

National Fieldays.

“The Sustainable Farming Fund supports

the primary sector’s own forward thinking

and Kiwi ingenuity, which in turn helps

keeps New Zealand ahead of the game,” Mr

Guy said.

“One thousand projects have now been

funded since the fund was initiated in 2000.

This represents around $150 million in

government funding alongside a significant

level of sector support.

“The fund has supported projects

as diverse as reducing nutrient runoff

on lowland farms, reducing use of

antimicrobials when managing mastitis,

and increasing the market share for New

Zealand olive oil,” Mr Guy said.

Ms Upston said much of the success of

the fund was due to its grass-roots nature.

“Each project brings together farmers,

growers and foresters to work alongside

scientists and researchers to solve a

problem or seize an opportunity. The fund

recognises that those closest to the problem

or opportunity have a unique insight into

how it could be addressed and how to best

influence their peers’ behaviour.”

Alongside the announcement was the

launch of a commemorative booklet which

spotlights 33 projects from across all 17

years of the fund - available on the MPI

website.

Ministers also announced the announced

the winners of this year’s Emerging Primary

Industries Leaders Scholarship - Julia Jones

a farm enterprise specialist at KPMG, and

Jason Te Brake, a key account manager at

Miraka.

“This scholarship recognises the

importance of promoting strong leadership

within the primary industries. It encourages

those who have shown a commitment to the

primary industries and have the potential

to help guide the sector in the future,” Mr

Guy said.

The winners will attend the Te Hono

Stanford Bootcamp – a week-long

programme held at Stanford University in

California, USA. The boot camp is mainly

for chief executives or people who hold

senior governance roles within the primary

sector.

Ms Upston said Te Hono Stanford

Bootcamp was an opportunity for primary

industry leaders to think about and test

various ways to build the sector.

“For the scholarship recipients, the boot

camp will be a unique chance to build

networks with sector leaders and contribute

to the future direction of New Zealand’s

primary industries,” she says.

The Emerging Primary Industries

Leaders Scholarship is now in its second

year, and is supported by the Ministry for

Primary Industries (MPI), AGMARDT

(the Agricultural and Marketing Research

and Development Trust) and Te Hono.

Investment in

rural health ‘good

news for farming

communities’

Government investment in

rural health services for the

third consecutive year provides

essential ongoing support for

the provinces says Federated

Farmers.

Health Minister Jonathan

Coleman and Primary

Industries Minister Nathan Guy

‘s announcement at Fieldays,

shows a genuine commitment

towards improving the health

and emotional wellbeing of rural

people, the organisation says.

“The funding of $500,000

from both ministries is

good news for our farming

communities as often initiatives

are started but seldom completed without

further investment to ensure long-term

sustainability,” Federated Farmers’ rural

health and wellbeing spokesperson Katie

Milne says.

“There is no short-term fix when it

comes to addressing the state of our health

services in rural areas. The funding will

ideally build on the various programmes

that have been put together in recent years.

“It will provide the Rural Health Alliance

Aotearoa New Zealand(RHAANZ) and

Rural Support Trusts, who have led recent

rural health initiatives, with more capability

and capacity to maximise their resources.

“Our RSTs are generally volunteers and

retired farmers who dedicate their time

and energy to helping farmers and country

folk with those issues which can impact

on their health and emotional wellbeing.

This funding gives them access to better

coordination and information on how to

respond.”

Funding would support 20 workshops for

rural health professionals treating people at

risk of suicide, as well as the rural clinical

champions and medical director.

“It’s also encouraging to see that funding

will be targeted at those younger rural

workers who have been identified as being

Belt and Road Forum

for Future Cooperation

The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation

(BRF) which was concluded in May 14-15 outlined the

roadmap for the success of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Twenty-nine foreign heads of state and government

attended the forum.

Other delegates included officials, entrepreneurs, financiers

and media from over 130 countries and regions, which are

home to more than two thirds of the world’s population

and their combined gross domestic product accounts for

90 percent of the world’s total. The second BRF will be held

in China in 2019.

The forum yielded a list of outcomes, which included 76

consensuses comprising more than 270 detailed results in

five key areas, namely policy, infrastructure, trade, financial

and people-to-people connectivity.

It sent a positive signal for all parties to work together

to build a community of shared future, which would be

extremely important for China and the world.

Large Investment Demand

A joint communiqué was issued at the forum, vowing

to work on a long-term, stable and sustainable financing

system, as well as to enhance financial infrastructure

connectivity, by exploring new finance models, platforms

and services. The projects will require innovative financing

mechanisms -- a mix of public and concessional finance

and commercial capital.

Stronger Financial Connectivity

Meanwhile, besides the actual fund injection, future

cooperation would gradually extend from the building of

hardware such as roads and ports to softer sectors such as

management and services. Funding services and financial

support would be one of the service and institutional

improvements that would take more shares in the next

round of Belt and Road construction.

Nine Chinese-funded banks have set up 62 direct branches

and representative offices in 26 countries along the Belt

and Road as of the end of 2016, offering tailored services to

local clients. At the same time, 54 commercial banks from

20 countries and regions along the Belt and Road have

established branches, financial companies or representative

offices in China, seeking opportunities with the initiative.

According to the Guiding Principles on Financing the

Development of the Belt and Road, governments along

the Belt and Road should coordinate to provide favorable

policy environments for financing. The guiding principles

also suggest letting the private sector play a larger role in

the initiative, and encouraging financial innovation while

enhancing cooperation on financial regulation.

Consolidated Consensus

China aims to work with other countries to build the

Belt and Road into an open platform of cooperation and

a solution for challenges, including a lack of new growth

drivers, development imbalance and terrorism. President

Xi Jinping said China hoped to create a big family of

harmonious co-existence, and the pursuit of the Belt and

Road will not resort to outdated geopolitical manoeuvring.

To ease concerns, Xi said China has no intention of

interfering in internal affairs of other countries, exporting

its social system and model of development, or imposing

its will on others.

accounting for 8.5 percent of total overseas investment

made by Chinese enterprises.

The Chinese President in his speech also mentioned China

will expand China-Europe railway cargo services and

establish new mechanisms, including a liaison office for

the forum’s follow-up activities and a research centre. With

coordinated and sustained collaboration among all parties

concerned, the forum will mark the start of the Belt and

Road 2.0.

Opportunities for New Zealand

Attending the forum showed that New Zealand wanted to

be part of the discussion. New Zealand and China signed a

ground-breaking memorandum of understanding on Belt

and Road Initiative in March. The longer-term target is to

work with China to develop a plan on how New Zealand

can participate and contribute to the initiative.

One of the eye-catching outcomes of the forum was China’s

hefty financial support to advance the initiative, including

an additional 100 billion yuan (14.5 billion U.S. dollars) to

the Silk Road Fund.

China will also encourage its financial institutions to

conduct overseas yuan fund businesses with an estimated

amount of about 300 billion yuan. China’s decision to scale

up financial support for the Belt and Road, after billions

of U.S. dollars of investment over the past three years,

underscored the country’s resolution to push forward the

initiative.

The Belt and Road will be open to all. All countries, from

Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania or the Americas, can be

partners of the initiative. So far, the initiative has won

support from more than 100 countries and international

organizations, of which over 40 have signed cooperation

agreements.

Landmark Significance

The Belt and Road initiative has gone beyond vision and

become a reality, delivering tangible benefits to countries

along the routes. From Mongolia to Malaysia, Thailand to

Pakistan and Laos to Uzbekistan, many projects, including

high-speed railways, bridges, ports, industrial parks, oil

pipelines and power grids, are being built. Since 2013,

Chinese businesses have invested more than 60 billion

U.S. dollars in countries along the Belt and Road. The

investment totalled 14.5 billion dollars in 2016 alone,

This advertorial page is supported by The Chinese Consulate

Coming back from the Belt and Road Forum for

International Cooperation, Paul Goldsmith who is New

Zealand’s Minister of Science and Innovation, Minister of

Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, said the forum

“was a very impressive and significant event.” As the head

of the New Zealand delegation, Goldsmith said during an

interview that he sees the Belt and Road Initiative as the

re-management, re-invention and re-invigoration of the

ancient trade routes. He said “The Silk Road is a starting

point and an expression of support for the open market,

reducing trade barriers, increasing connectivity across the

world. He said that as a small trading nation, New Zealand

“obviously has a keen interest on all those things” and

New Zealand is well aware of the opportunities that China

provide especially for bilateral trade.

Being Minister of Science and Innovation, Mr. Goldsmith

is particularly interested in the themes of the Belt and

Road Initiative on innovation, which is the particular

field that New Zealand is focused on. New Zealand is

also looking into how the two countries can continue to

work together on innovation in many fields. New Zealand

universities have long time relationships with Chinese

leading universities. Mr. Goldsmith said that there’s a good

prospect for New Zealand and China to further develop

science connections under the Belt and Road Initiative.

SELWYN TIMES

Heating the home over winter

With the colder days, we are turning on

the heating.

The best way to heat a home depends on

its age and construction. As up to a third

of household energy goes on heating,

insulating an older home is a starting point.

All homes require heating on dull cold

days however, insulated double glazed

homes hold heat in for longer and those

built to the sun capitalise on free energy.

Aim for a healthy comfortable

temperature with no chill in the air,

avoiding over-heating that leads to the

need to peel off clothes, and unnecessary

electricity expenditure.

Electricity, gas, solar, pellet and log fires

are all potential heating sources. A log fire is

economical if there is a supply of affordable

dry wood while heat pumps are the most

cost effective while gas fires add ambience.

Unflued gas heaters are the most expensive.

Underfloor heating feels great. It is more

efficient if people spend time at home

though it will translate to larger power bills.

As it takes time to heat up, it is usually left on

which can make the house uncomfortably

hot on a sunny day.

Centrally heating can also be effective.

Pipes or ducts might be used to feed

warm air throughout the home or from a

log burner. Ceiling fans are also good for

circulating warm air within a room.

Central or water solar heating utilises

the sun’s free energy with the latter more

cost effective, however, with new storage

batteries coming onto the market, solar

power may be a real alternative soon.

Portable heaters also have their place,

quickly heating a room or eliminating the

chill in a bedroom. Fan heaters warm the air

but are less effective than column or radiant

heaters that warm objects holding heat in a

room for longer. Using heaters with a timer

also allows temperature control avoiding

wasting power and meaning they are safer

with children.

Central heating

or ceiling

mounted heat

pumps can

circulate warm

air around the

home.

Home furnishings displays offer ideas and help us

decide which fabrics and accessories are right for us.

Maxine, Lorna and Sylvia realise this and have

been busy creating a display showroom at the front

of Classic Curtains and Interiors.

“It’s a work in progress with exciting things

happening,” explains Maxine.

The shop still has a workroom at the rear while

the layout at the front of the store, is gradually being

changed into a bright new showroom that will feature

fabulous fabrics, cushions and upholstered furniture

to inspire interior design. A Mood

Board is also planned, which will

be updated seasonally. People will

also be able to see the displays

through the windows, after hours.

“We’ve still a little to do however,

most of our new showroom is

already in place,” advises Maxine

who says that soon to be erected

new signage, will give the store

more street presence.

Classic Curtains and Interior’s

new showroom layout will also

showcase the wide range of

services they offer including

making and supply of curtains

and blinds, selling a large selection

of cushions as well as offering an

upholstery service.

You will also want to check out

the large assortment of short and

long stock rolls of curtain fabrics

and linings in-store. These are

selling for $50 a roll.

and Interiors can assist with thermal or blockout

curtaining. This also keeps a room cooler in summer,

making it a worthwhile investment. Another great

reason for blockout lining, is keeping light out of

bedrooms and entertainment areas.

SELWYN TIMES

The ideal time to

install irrigation

With minimal lawn growth and moisture in the air,

garden watering is over until spring when shifting the hose

becomes a necessary chore unless an irrigation system is

in place.

Winter is an ideal time to install an irrigation system.

The ground is softer so a better job can be done with less

damage to the lawn. Spring growth will hide any marks

on the lawn created when the pipes were installed and the

system will be ready to use when the hotter drier months

come along.

Freeman Irrigation specialise in installing

and maintaining irrigation systems. They

use top quality Toro and Hunter commercial

grade components, pipes and fittings. These

meet industry standards, are more reliable

and have a longer life.

Freeman Irrigation install garden drip lines

with built-in timers and pop-up irrigation

systems, fitted before laying a lawn or into

existing lawns using a Mole plough. This cuts

a fine channel in the grass, pulling the hose

through in a no-mess operation that does not

rip the grass up.

They can fit separate control stations and

timers for the garden and lawn, allowing

irrigation to be turned off for part of the

garden; an ideal option when there is a lawn

watering ban on.

Now is also a good time for irrigation

system maintenance and servicing so grass or

soil that is blocking a jet is removed, leaks or problems such

as water pooling are sorted and the system is functioning

correctly so it comes on when, and for as long as required.

“Irrigation systems should be checked annually to ensure

they operate efficiently and as they’re meant to,” explains

Phil Hudson, owner of Freeman Irrigation.

His team can service your existing irrigation system,

repairing any problems, many of which take just one or two

hours to fix.

The Mole plough cuts a fine channel in the grass.

Freeman Irrigation uses top grade components.

Freeman Irrigation offers special rates

for the installation of an irrigation

system over winter. Just call Phil on

Ensuring a safe work place

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or

on to the sports field?

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far

behind those in the workplace.

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes

such as motor vehicle accidents.

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where

it is located.

Buying a property?

Get a building inspection

Would you get a mechanic to inspect a

used car before you bought it, or would

you just get a mate who knows a bit about

cars to take a look? Prospective property

buyers face a similar conundrum – do

they pay for a building inspection before

making an offer, or just ask a builder

friend to check the place out?

Buying a car is worrisome enough,

but the emotional and financial stakes

are a lot higher when it comes to buying

property. If you’re going to make a serious

investment in something that will have

a huge impact on your family’s health,

wealth and wellbeing, it pays to get the

best advice you can.

Ideally, this means engaging a building

inspector who can identify significant

defects, future or urgent maintenance

issues and problems caused by gradual

deterioration. They will look for structural

problems, any evidence that the property is

a leaky building, issues caused by deferred

maintenance (such as weatherboards

rotting due to peeling paint) and areas

where there is damp or mould. This is a

visual inspection – a building surveyor will

check in the ceiling and under the floor,

but they will not cut holes in walls or carry

out any other invasive testing. The whole

property should be checked, including

fences and any garages or sheds. They will

collate their findings in a detailed and

easily understood report.

Getting a good property inspection

carried out isn’t cheap though, particularly

if you’re unsuccessful in buying and have

to repeat the process. You have a range of

choices, from enlisting a builder mate to

using a qualified and insured inspector.

You can also make an inspection a

condition of your offer on a property.

If you choose this option, the report

must be prepared by a suitably qualified

building inspector in accordance with

accepted principles and methods. If you

then use the report’s findings to get out of

the contract, you must provide the seller

with a copy of it. Either way, the more

you invest in this exercise the safer you

will be if things don’t turn out as you had

expected.

The property pre-purchase inspection

industry is not regulated in New Zealand,

however the Real Estate Agents Authority

(REAA) recommends using a qualified

building inspector who has professional

indemnity insurance, understands the

strict legal requirements of their role and

carries out their work in accordance with

the New Zealand Property Inspection

Standard. This is important because they

will help protect you if something goes

wrong later on. If you discover problems

with the property that should have been

evident in a building inspection, you can

make a complaint to the professional body

that the inspector belongs to and seek

compensation through the courts.

If you buy a property based on a report

by someone like a builder mate who is

unqualified and/or uninsured, you could

end up owning some expensive problems.

Even worse, you may severely limit your

ability to seek damages if the property has

significant issues that would have been

picked up by a more thorough inspection.

You have limited other avenues if

things don’t turn out to be how they were

represented to you. You may be able to

rely on the warranties included in the sale

and purchase agreement by the seller. They

are required to confirm that (among other

things) any work they have done on the

property was carried out in accordance

with any necessary permits or consents

required by law. You may also have other

legal options which you should speak

to your lawyer about. REAA strongly

recommends that you speak to a lawyer

before you sign the sale and purchase

agreement to understand this more.

If you are looking to buy it’s a good

idea to get in touch with a local building

inspector as soon as you start your

property search. Ask friends and family

for their recommendations and request

a sample report from any inspector you

contact to get an idea of the kind of

information they provide. Real estate

agents can sometimes offer building

inspection reports to prospective buyers

on behalf of vendors. Treat these as a

starting point rather than a definitive

diagnostic guide to a property.

Paying for your own report means

you know the credentials of the person

who prepared it, you can be sure of its

impartiality and you can seek redress if

needed.

Depending on what a building

inspection finds, you may be able to

use a report to help you negotiate with

the vendor over price or repairs. Even

if a report only finds minor issues, you

can still use it as a road map for future

maintenance. Knowing what you’re in for

is invaluable when you’re buying property,

no matter how many times you’ve done it

before.

The New Zealand Institute of Building

Surveyors and the Building Officials

Institute of New Zealand both hold lists

of qualified property inspectors. See

buildingsurveyors.co.nz or boinz.org.nz

for more information.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections

in the Selwyn District

Elegant, stylish and spacious

Homes by Parklane recently opened their

new showhome in Lincoln. Aptly named

after the subdivision in which it is located,

the Flemington is a perfect design for

maximising sun on a north facing section.

This 247 square metre home is ideal for

families or those wanting more spacious

surroundings for everyday living and

entertaining. Its formal entrance flows into

a large, elegant open plan living/dining area

that is enhanced with timber flooring, pitched

ceiling and generous lighting.

Two separate courtyards offer a place to

escape outdoors no matter what the wind

direction. These are accessed through large

stacker sliders on both sides of the h-shaped

design, capturing natural light within the

home and guaranteeing a beautifully warm

house while also offering views of the

surrounding countryside.

The hub of the home is stylish. There is a

modern yet practical kitchen, equipped with

two ovens, gas hob, push-to-open cupboards

and walk-in pantry for plenty of storage,

Subway tiled splashback, black gooseneck tap,

and stone top bench with waterfall ends that

adds further refinement.

A separate sitting room runs off the living

room providing a place for conversation

while the double-sided, see-through gas fire

adds warmth and intimacy in both living

spaces.

Full height doors throughout the home

create openness while a duel controlled

ducted heat pump warms and cools

(according to the season) throughout the

living and four generous sized bedrooms.

Morning sun streams into the master

bedroom for a beautifully warm room during

the day and a generous walk-in robe offers

plenty of room for his and hers. The stunning

ensuite includes a double tiled shower and

soaker for pure luxury and comfort.

The second bedroom is also a larger room

which includes a walk-in robe and ensuite

affording comfort to guests who can relax in

their own private wing.

Both ensuites and main bathroom have

under-floor heating and heated towel rails

along with modern vanity units. The main

bathroom also has a free standing quality

bath with a Stopsol glass window so you can

relax and enjoy a soak while watching the

night go by, assured of complete privacy.

A large laundry and storage cupboards

are cleverly tucked into the double garage,

an area that is carpeted so could double as a

games room for the children.

Black tray roofing offsets white plaster for a

lovely first impression in this modern home

while the lush green lawn, easy care garden

and metal panel fencing, not only look smart

but are also low maintenance, especially with

a watering system on timer.

Homes by Parklane’s new showhome

REAA - Disclosure rules

when selling a home

Real estate advertisements are designed

to make every property look like a dream

buy. That’s why they gloss over the negative

aspects and linger on the good points,

wanting you to be drawn in by the sundrenched

location rather than be put off by

lack of garaging. It’s no crime to gloss over a

property’s quirks, but lying by omission or

design about more serious matters is not

allowed. If you do this when selling your

property you may be at risk of being sued by

the purchaser.

When you’re ready to sell your property

it’s a good idea to get legal advice about

your obligations before you sign an agency

agreement. Most of these agreements, which

set out the terms and conditions of your

contract with the real estate agent, require

you to confirm that you are unaware of any

undisclosed defects in the property and that

you haven’t withheld any information about

it.

As a seller, you must also confirm that

your property has all the necessary consents

and code compliance certificates for any

building work. Any outstanding consents,

including ones that involve any works at a

neighbour’s property, should be disclosed to

the agent.

This is important for several reasons.

Licensed real estate agents have clear

obligations when it comes to disclosure. They

must not mislead a seller or a potential buyer,

or withhold any information. While it’s not

up to the agent to uncover any hidden defects

in a property, they must tell any prospective

buyers what they know.

Under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008,

if licensed real estate agents suspect that a

property may have a defect then they are

obliged to ask the seller about it, or advise

potential buyers of any risks. For example,

if a property is next door to a proposed

new development, or if it’s in an area that’s

been subject to flooding, the agent must tell

prospective buyers rather than turning a

blind eye.

If your property may be prone to

weathertightness issues thanks to its age or

cladding, then the agent may have to disclose

this potential risk to prospective buyers. If it

doesn’t have any weathertightness problems

it may be worth getting this confirmed in

an expert report by a qualified building

inspector who has professional indemnity

insurance, understands the strict legal

requirements of their role and carries out

their work in accordance with the New

Zealand Property Inspection Standard. This

will help make the sale process as efficient as

possible.

If you know there are issues with the

property, whether it’s something small like

a garage door not working properly, or a

bigger deal like an unconsented deck, it’s

best to discuss them with the agent you are

working with. They can help you decide how

to manage the problem, whether that means

fixing it, or disclosing it to potential buyers.

However, a licensed real estate agent must not

disclose any problems with your property to

buyers without getting your consent first. If a

seller doesn’t agree on a disclosure, the agent

is required to stop working for them rather

than disclose any defects without consent.

These rules offer more protection to buyers

than the traditional attitude of ‘caveat emptor’

(buyer beware), which assumed that the seller

would always know more than the buyer and

any sale was at the buyer’s risk. However,

buyers should always do their own research

about a property before signing a sale and

purchase agreement. Buyers should also ask

the agent about anything they are concerned

about, no matter how trivial it may seem. It’s

far better to get an answer upfront than find

out when it’s too late.

property, check out sellingahome.reaa.govt.nz
