Another
$100k
raised
to help
Maddie
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MORE THAN $100,000 has been
raised at a fundraising evening
to help West Melton teenager
Maddie Collins.
The event at the Addington
Raceway last week drew a
crowd of more than 300 people
in support of Maddie, who
is in urgent need of a kidney
transplant.
She is waiting to hear if she
can get a transplant at The Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,
United States, which is expected
to cost $750,000.
The $100k adds to the $170,000
already raised for Maddie through
Givealittle pages and community
events, bringing the total now
raised to more than $270,000.
Maddie is in Auckland’s Starship
Hospital with her mother,
Sarah Manson Collins, this week
having more tests and getting
advice about Maddie’s medication
and dialysis treatment.
Mrs Manson Collins said
the fundraising event was amazing.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
THERE’S AN emphasis on youth
on our front page today – two girls
who have different but very difficult
missions in life.
Maddie Collins, the West Melton
13-year-old, has on her plate a
mission to survive. That’s right:
Survive. She is relying on the public
for expensive treatment for a kidney
condition.
One hundred thousand dollars
was raised last week but there’s
much more to go.
Also, on the front page is swimmer
Hannah Bates, a Lincoln
17-year-old who has just returned
from the Bahamas with a bronze
medal at the Commonwealth Youth
Games.
Her aspiration is to get to an
Olympics. To do this she will need
financial help to compete internationally,
the only way that she will
consistently improve over the next
few years to reach her goals.
If there were ever good causes . . .

Kayak park plan for The Willows
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A KAYAKING facility could be
constructed to complement The
Willows Park development near
the Waimakariri River.
Environment Canterbury is
running a series of workshops
to discuss how they could develop
The Willows at the end of
Thompsons Rd.
Kayaker Bruce Leslie has
pitched an idea to
construct a new
white water course
and swimming hole
downstream from
the irrigation canal
Tom
Lambie
on Intake Rd near
Kirwee.
The kayaking
facility and swimming
hole aims to discourage
people from swimming near the
irrigation canal.
But ECan parks and forest
team leader David Owen said
while these ideas could be considered
in the future, it was not
part of The Willows planning.
There was no consultation
document available for The Willows
development.
However, the kayaking facility
and swimming hole were discussed
at a Christchurch West
Melton Water Management
Zone Committee meeting last
IDEA: An image drawn by kayaker Bruce Leslie of a proposed
new water facility which could be developed near the
Waimakariri River at the end of Thompsons Rd.
week, but no formal resolution
was made.
Committee member and
ECan councillor Tom Lambie
said while the committee was
willing to explore the option,
a lot of work would need to be
done to see if the project was
feasible.
Although Mr Leslie was yet to
find the funding for the project,
he would like to see it completed
by the end of the year.
He said there has been one
death in the irrigation canal and
the aim of his project is to move
people away from the dangerous
structure.
In 2012, Ashleigh Kumar
died while swimming in the
irrigation pond when she was
dragged facedown beneath a
narrow underwater gateway
leading from the storage pond
to the river.
Every warning sign at the
canal had been vandalised the
day Miss Kumar and her friends
visited, but they have since been
replaced.
In spite of Miss Kumar’s
death, Mr Leslie said people are
still swimming in the area.
He said there was potential
for Environment Canterbury
and the district council to put
more fencing around the canal
structure.
Car parking, picnic areas,
toilets and native plantings are
included in the plan for the
kayaking facility and swimming
hole.
Another reason for the plan
was so kayakers did not have to
travel as far to train. Mr Leslie
said kayakers have a long way to
travel with the Hurunui River
being the closest training venue.
The idea has been supported
by the kayaking community.
Kirwee kayaker Ross McLeod
said it would be an excellent
spot for the facility.
“There are not many swimming
holes for teenagers to go
really,” he said.
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Would
you use the new kayaking
facility at Thompsons Rd?
Email your views to georgia.
oconnor@starmedia.kiwi
In Brief
SHEFFIELD FENCE
Sheffield will get a chain fence
beside the railway line to stop
motorists backing into a ditch.
The Sheffield/Waddington
Community Committee approved
fencing the area last week. The
district council’s disposals and
leasing manager Rob Allen said
a contractor has been instructed
to install the fence. However,
this requires final approval from
KiwiRail.
CENTRE OPENING
A celebration for the opening
of the Dunsandel Community
Centre will be held on Friday. The
new facility replaces the original
Dunsandel Community Hall after
it was damaged beyond repair
in the 2010/2011 earthquakes.
The opening will be attended
by Mayor Sam Broughton,
MP for Selwyn Amy Adams
and Dunsandel Community
Committee chairman Russell
Dalzell.
PLAYCENTRE TO MOVE
The Hororata Playcentre is
planning to move behind
the Hororata Fire Station
on Bealey Rd. District council
property and commercial
manager Douglas Marshall
is completing a time frame to
make sure the land is safe and
uncontaminated.

Hannah Bates
Emotional medal for up-and-coming
Lincoln resident Hannah
Bates returned home
from the Commonwealth
Youth Games in the
Bahamas last week. The
17-year-old swimmer
competed in five different
events and won a bronze
medal in the 100m
butterfly. She talks to
Gordon Findlater
Congratulations on winning
bronze in the Bahamas. What
was it like on the podium
receiving your medal?
I was crying. When I shook
the man’s hand I held in the
emotion, and then when I
received the medal I started
crying. When we turned and
watched the flags rise it was just
amazing. I’m not sure how to
describe it, it was like nothing
I’ve ever felt before.
What was it like in the
pool when you realised you’d
finished third?
I turned for the 50m mark and
I could hear everybody yelling
and screaming, so I realised
something must be good. I
touched fourth and pinned the
other girl back in the final 50m.
BACK HOME: Hannah Bates at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre with the medal she won in the Bahamas.

When I touched the wall at the
end I was thinking ‘oh my gosh
have I done it’ and then I looked
and saw the times. The New
Zealand team were yelling and
screaming, I hopped out of the
water and everyone came and
gave me a hug.
What was the games village
like?
All of the countries stayed
together in the same hotel and
each country had a different
level. We decorated the hallways
and had big stickers on the
windows, so everyone knew we
were on level five.
Were there any other
countries that you got along
well with?
We actually got along really
well with England. We sat next to
them at the pool and we traded a
lot of our uniform with them.
Did you get much down time
in the Bahamas?
After the game we went
snorkelling with turtles and the
coral fish. I was kind of like the
film Finding Nemo, there were so
many different bright coloured
fish. It was amazing, the water
was so clear and blue. We were
lucky enough to touch the turtles
and were swimming along them
as they were doing their thing.
It was pretty incredible and
something I had on my bucket
list.
The New Zealand team had
a big welcome home party at
Auckland Airport. What was it
like being part of that?
There were cameras and
TV crews everywhere. We
just walked through the doors
and everyone started yelling,
cheering and saying how proud
of us they were. It made me feel
so lucky to be a part of this
country.

swimming star
How did you get into
swimming and how long have
you been doing it now?
I first started swimming when
I was six months old. Mum and I
did the mother/baby lessons and
I first started competitive swimming
when I was 10-years-old.
Where you always successful
from day one?
No. It’s been a big learning process,
I started off at the bottom of
the rankings when I was younger
and I’ve just slowly started working
my way up. Hopefully I can
keep progressing forward.
Was there a point when
you realised swimming was
something you wanted to take
quite seriously?
In 2012 I was also doing
rhythmic gymnastics and I went
to nationals and won gold for
my age group. I also went to the
national junior champs that year
and won gold there as well. After
that I realised I just wanted to
do swimming and make that my
career.
What keeps you busy outside
of swimming?
It’s just swimming really. I
wake up in the morning, go to
training, go to school, come
home, go to training and then it’s
nearly bed time by the time I’m
WILD WEATHER: Bates and a
teammate stand on the beach

and an outdoor
pool caused some races to be
postponed in the Bahamas.
home at night.
How does that work for
having a social life?
My friends are amazing.
They’re really understanding,
they know I can’t be out late at
night because I’ve got to go to
training the next day. It is hard,
especially with getting older now
and a lot of people are wanting to
go out late at night and having to
say no all the time. I think after
school is done I will be able to
have more of a social life.
Do experiences like the
Commonwealth Youth Games
make it worth it?
Definitely. I’ve made so many
new friends from going there and
I know that swimming is going to
make me plenty of good friends
in the future.
What are the plans going
forward?
I will be going to the Commonwealth
Games trials in December.
Next year is Junior Pan Pacific
Championships which are in Fiji
and Oceania Championships in
Papua New Guinea. Beyond that
I’m looking at the 2020 Tokyo
Olympics, but that may not happen
because I’ll only be 20 by
then.
You train at the Selwyn
Aquatic Centre, has that made
life easier being closer to Lincoln?
Yes. I used to commute to
Jelly Park every day and then
when the Selwyn Aquatic Centre
opened it was a no-brainer to go
there. It’s only a 10min drive to
the pool now rather than what
would normally be a 20min drive
into town, plus traffic.
$100k for Maddie
•From page 1
“It was a fantastic night and it
was great because everybody got
to laugh,” she said.
The auction items included
two dinners with politicians,
which raised $10,000 each –
pre-dinner drinks with Prime
Minister Bill English before a
dinner with Selwyn MP Amy
Adams and a dinner with Winston
Peters.
Radio and television personality
Gary McCormick, former
All Black Andrew Mehrtens,
Invercargill mayor Tim Shadbolt
and actors Blair Strang and
Shane Cortese made up a lineup
of personalities who took
part in a light-hearted debate to
support the evening.
The debate was over why Mr
Shadbolt should or shouldn’t be
prime minister.
Maddie was presented on the
night with a $10,000 cheque
from The Lamar Charitable
Trust.
Two pillowcases sewn by
Maddie as a fundraiser, which
she usually sells for $20, were
auctioned for $2000 on the
night.
The pillowcases also caught
the attention of the management
team at the new Novotel
Christchurch Airport, which is
set to open early next year, and
they offered to buy 200 of them.
Hotel general manager Olivier
Lacoua said he planned to give
the pillowcases as a gift to the
hotel’s corporate clients, along
with a card explaining Maddie’s
story and linking to her fundraising
pages.
He said his team was
impressed Maddie was not
just asking for money, but had
created something unique to
sell.
“The main thing is supporting
a local girl. We are more than
happy to assist as part of
the community, all working
together to hopefully help her to
get treatment,” he said.
Mrs Manson-Collins said she
was confident enough money
would be raised to get Maddie
the treatment.
Organiser Joanne McMaster
said the fundraiser was amazing
and there was so many people
who got behind the evening.
“This little girl just touches
you, when you meet her . . . it
is really daunting to think they
have to raise $750,000,” Miss
McMaster said.

Setback in bid to make
New York marathon
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
NOTHING HAS ever
stopped paraplegic Ian
Walker from taking on
enduring marathons – in
spite of having his fair
share of knock-backs.
He can be seen training
on his hand-bike every
second day in Ellesmere.
However, he was
denied entry in the
Christchurch Marathon for
seven years due to safety
concerns.
After being the first
person to hand-bike the
Buller Gorge Marathon
this year, the Doyleston
resident was finally
given entry into June’s
Christchurch event.
Now he is gearing up
for his biggest race yet
– the New York City
Marathon.
Through disability
support organisation
Achilles International, Mr
Walker has been selected
to take part in the event in
November.
But he has had another
setback, having the
sponsorship for his trip to
the Big Apple cut.
The company Mr Walker
did not wish to name, was
going to cover most of the
costs for the trip.
“These things happen,
there is not much they
can do . . . I have just
got try raise that money
somewhere else,” he said.
As well as fundraising
Mr Walker plans to raise
awareness of serious brain
injuries, co-occurring
with spinal cord injuries,
on social media through
the three long-distance
rides he is taking part in.
Mr Walker became a
paraplegic in 2006 after he
crashed into the back of a
truck between Napier and
Hastings.
Before then, he was a
nationally ranked soccer
referee.
Highlights were
refereeing the 1999
Chatham Cup final and
the 2003 New Zealand
National Soccer League.
He had also competed in
nine marathons.
Mr Walker suffered a
fracture dislocation of his
third and fourth thoracic
vertebrae, fractured a
spinal segment in his neck,
broke his sternum, had
facial injuries and lost
several teeth.
But Mr Walker’s greatest
concerns is he was never
treated for a brain injury.
“I did fly head first into
the back of a truck and
I can’t remember the
accident,” he said.
Mr Walker said he often
gets tired, his short-term
memory is not the best and
can get irritable.
He is planning to see a
occupational therapist next
week.
But he is determined
spread the message, there
is a life after being made a
paraplegic.
“Being in a wheelchair
doesn’t mean your life
stops, it just means your
life takes a different path
really,” he said.

than 200 entries.
The butchery took out silver
for its boneless ham, bone-in
ham, dry cured middle bacon
and shoulder bacon, and bronze
for its middle eye bacon.
Owner Chris Brown said it was
the first time the butchery had
received a medal in the bacon
category.
In previous years, the butchery
has won an array of awards
including supreme, gold, silver
and bronze.
“Every bacon and ham product
we produce is an award-winning
product and we have awards in
every bacon and ham category,”
Mr Brown said.
Mr Brown, who has been a
butcher for more than 30 years,
and his wife Sue took over the
butchery in 2006.
Before then, Mr Brown
who describes himself as a
“passionate cook”, had done a
lot of commercial cooking in
Christchurch, while Mrs Brown
had run several Robert Harris
cafe businesses.
Mr Brown said there was
something about the Ellesmere
Butchery that just “grabbed him”

when it first came up for sale.
The family took a risk by
buying the butchery, and Mr and
Mrs Brown moved with their
children into the Leeston area.
At the end of 2015, the shop
was put on the market, but the
Browns could not find the right
people to take over the business.
“I don’t want the skills I have
built up to go to waste. I want to
pass that on . . . hopefully, the
legacy of this shop continues,”
he said.
Until they find the right
people, the Browns will continue
to run the butchery.
As for the next competition,
if the opportunity arises, Mr
Brown hopes to take up the role
of being a judge.
‘It would be so good to see
what the other butchers are
doing,” he said.

Rolleston residents
being driven potty
• By Andrew King
ROLLESTON residents
are being driven potty by a
large hole in the road and
now have taken matters
into their own hands.
The hole, which was
made worse by the recent
rain, is on the side of Masefield
Drive and has grown
so large that vehicles have
their tyres popped and
rims wrecked.
Resident Kirsty Lee lives
across the road from the
hole and was sick of hearing
motorists being caught
out by it, so she put a road
cone beside it to warn of
the danger.
In a Facebook post on a
Rolleston community page
she said: “Sorry Naylor
Love, but we borrowed
your cone and placed it
here to save tyres.”
More than 200 people
have reacted to the
Facebook post including
commenting on their own
experiences.
One person posted: “I hit
WARNING: A resident has placed a road cone near
a large hole in a Rolleston road to warn motorists of
the danger.
this and blew too new tyres
and cracked a rim.”
However, a small battle is
emerging to keep the cone
near the hole.
Ms Lee placed the cone
there on Tuesday night but
found it gone in the morning
so she put it back on
Thursday night.
Her flatmate said the
cone was still there on
Friday.
“Next time it’s moved I’ll
leave a polite letter then the
council can take it upon
themselves and will be left
with many tyre bills to
pay,” she said.
She said nearly every car
hits it and other neighbours
have filled it with
gravel in the past to try to
make it safer.

New shopping centre planned for Lincoln
Work is underway on a new shopping centre
for Lincoln, with ground works currently being
carried out at the site on the corner of Edward
Street and Eastfield Drive.
There will be seven shops and a restaurant in
the new Rosemerryn shopping centre.
Developed by the Merryn Group, the idea
behind the complex was sparked by Lincoln
locals who expressed a need for more hospitality
and retail outlets in the town, to complement
existing providers.
Covering one hectare of land and fronting onto
one of the main routes into Lincoln, this high
profile corner site will no doubt be attractive to
a wide range of commercial and retail operators.
SELWYN TIMES
With a growing residential base and limited
retail space the complex will be suitable for a
variety of service providers whether fashion,
homeware or professionals such as a medical
practice, physiotherapists, dental surgery,
beauticians or hairdressers. The centre’s close
proximity to the rail trail also makes it a perfect
location for a bicycle hire or servicing operation.
The purpose built restaurant that will front
Edward Street, will work for a range of
hospitality options from fine dining through to
ethnic or a more casual place to unwind and
enjoy a coffee, meal or drink.
Flex Fitness gym, a new brand to Canterbury
has already signed up. This 24 hour gym with
an upmarket fit-out has some of the best fitness
equipment available and offers competitive
rates.
Construction of the Rosemerryn shopping
centre is being carried out by Hanham and
Philp Contractors, with the complex due for
completion early in February 2018.
The building itself will cover 1,600 square
metres with varied retail outlet space ranging
from 80 to 350 square metres.
The developers have chosen a traditionally
rural look to reflect Lincoln’s tradition, with
the chosen design a contemporary style barn
while the interior will have a modern, trendy
and open industrial architectural appearance.
Constructed from textured concrete slab the
buildings will have insulated panel roofing with
exposed steel beams.
From Edward Street, a bridge will provide
pedestrian access with car parking off Eastfield
Drive. Native plants will line the street frontage
and feature in areas around the complex. There
will also be plenty of bicycle parking.
The shopping centre will bask in sun with the
restaurant having a large dining area flowing
to an attractive outdoor courtyard making it a
suitable venue for individuals and groups.
The restaurant’s large dining area will flow out to an outdoor courtyard.
Car parking will be off Eastfield Drive.
Businesses looking to break into the Lincoln
market will find the new Rosemerryn shopping
centre very appealing.
If wanting to learn more, contact Paula Raine
at Ray White Commercial or Mary Cooper
from M B Cook Commercial and Industrial Real
Estate, who are looking after the marketing
of this exciting new commercial and retail
development.

Reserve status changing
Rolleston
Reserve
Management
Committee
chairman
Jens
Christensen
writes about
the district
council declining its
request to manage Foster
Park
The Rolleston Reserve
Management Committee has
been delegated the management
and maintenance of Rolleston
Reserve, Brookside Park and the
Foster Dog Park by the district
council.
Very unfortunately, the district
council declined to allow the
committee the right to manage
Foster Park and this duty has
fallen to council managers and
subcontracted maintenance
works.
This is in total opposition to
the strong request from the management
committee to manage
Foster Park and in essence the
ratepaying people of Rolleston
(who have funded the development
and ongoing maintenance)
have no voice in its operation or
running.
The committee is made up of
public representatives and all of
the sports codes and user groups
using the three reserves that it
manages.
The committee also manages
its full-time and part-time caretaking
staff who are responsible
for grounds bookings, cleaning
on a daily basis three public toilets
(365 days per year), turf care,
weed spraying, tree trimming,
vandalism and rubbish collection
and disposal.
We always welcome members
of the public to sit on our committee
and assist with the governance
of the reserves.
The list of users is almost
endless but includes rugby (482
players), dog club (120 members),
scouts (141 members plus 20
leaders), playcentre, athletics (210
members), netball (340 members),
tennis, cricket, softball,
baseball, rugby league, summer
touch rugby.
Also the grounds regularly
host cancer relay for life, school
athletic sports, teddy bear
picnics, circus, and the Selwyn
Sports Trust combined primary
schools eight week winter sports.
Rolleston Reserve houses
the youth park and along with
Brookside Park a junior playground.
Rolleston Reserve’s status is
changing to make way for the
new Town Centre Master Plan
(all of the fields fronting Tennyson
St will disappear), and as
such we are unable to plan for
the extension of the youth park
at this time.
The youth park is an important
place for youth to hang out with
their peers and away from their
parents and siblings.
While there is a destination
playground and youth park being
built at Foster Park, the youth
facility in Rolleston Reserve will
continue to be of tremendous
importance as it will always be in
the centre of the commercial area
and close to the shops.
CLUTTERED: A large pile of rubbish dumped on Finlays Rd,
West Melton, is one of several reports of fly-tipping received
by the district council in the past month.
We said
The rubbish collection
system is under scrutiny as
the district council works
to stop illegal rubbish
dumping
You said
Debbie Goldsmith
– Rubbish dumping is far too
expensive in New Zealand. I’m
not surprised there is fly-tipping
. . . it’s not a case of people being
lazy, simply not being able to afford
to dump their rubbish.
Heather Wilkins – We go to
the dump and we pay. Recycling
is free. Its not like people go to
the dump everyday unless you
are a business. Never heard of
the word fly-tipping before.
John White – I see so much
rubbish along the side of the
roads in the country these days
and most of it is from people
eating a snack then leaving their
rubbish on the grass berm. Time
to put a stop to these people that
think this is okay.

Major upgrade to Russley Road/Memorial Avenue intersection
The Russley Road/Memorial Avenue temporary roundabout will be removed
in early August and replaced with a new intersection with traffic lights.
EXPECT
DELAYS
4-6 AUG
The permanent change means traffic will be able to
travel to and from Christchurch International
Airport, under the new Gateway Bridge, for the first
time. It will also allow the project team to complete
the new road on top of the bridge, bringing them a
step closer to completing the upgrade.
New road signage
People travelling through the intersection will
need to pay close attention to the new signage
to ensure their vehicle is in the right lane.
Please be courteous to other drivers who will
also be getting used to the change.
Lengthy delays at Russley Road/Memorial Avenue intersection
While this is an exciting milestone there will be delays
of up to 20 minutes while the changes take place on
4-6 August.
If you’re travelling to the airport leave extra time to get
there or take an alternative route to avoid the work site.
People coming from the north can turn off at
Harewood Road and those coming from the south can
use the new Southern Airport Access (see map).

•From page 13
Fiona Ward – I agree that
dump charges are probably too
high. But the fact is that you
are responsible for your stuff.
Nobody else. When people dump
stuff – whether it is great piles of
stuff or throwing their Maccas
packets out the window – they
are saying: “It is somebody else’s
job to deal with my stuff”. As
long as we “blame” someone else
for things (i.e dump fees) people
will never take responsibility for
their own anything.
Christine Clarke – Put
dumping fees down and see
what happens. Or give everyone
a big red bin like the big yellow
one. But if you put prices down,
rubbish may be dumped at
the dump and not anywhere
else.
Christine Schuler – Perhaps
if it wasn’t so expensive to go to
the dump. There will always be
some lazy sods, though.
Lee Nicholls – Make the
fine more relevant, like $20,000.
There’s nothing accidental or
even careless about this. It’s a
deliberate and planned thing.
Elvira Eilbeck – Cameras
and signs to let them know they
are being filmed and instant
fines.
Ryan Nield – I hate how
people do this but at the same
time it doesn’t take long to fill all
three bins and dumping is way
too expensive.
Anna Henderson – This
infuriates me. Glad to see
something being done.
Pauline Sigurgeirson – At
least they weighed it down.
We said
Only seven incidents of
graffiti have been reported
to the district council in the
past year
You said
Cherry Cornelius – I find
that hard to believe. Our area has
been slammed with the untidy
mess taggers have left behind –
fences, power poles, gates, power
boxes, and especially local shops.
On our 30min walk today, we
came across several tags painted
on to the footpath outside a
group of shops on Warrington
St. I really dislike how untidy
and dirty this practice makes our
community look.
Ben Mataakama – I’d like to
develop a programme for taggers
to turn their tags into beautiful
typography illustrations.
Emajane Harwood – I
bet people will start tagging in
Selwyn now that they’ve seen
this.
A reader responds to
the Selwyn Times article
about the ongoing saga
over whether the Black
Door Bar and Eatery can
wheel-clamp unauthorised
vehicles which use its
parking spaces
Nyki McQueen – As a
Lincoln resident and potential
customer of Black Door Bar
and Eatery, I fully support
the clamping signs. If I am
going there for dinner, I want
somewhere to park.
From all accounts the parks
are on the title of the property,
and under liquor licensing laws,
the establishment has to provide
a number of parks to satisfy its
licence.
The district council deserves
scrutiny, not this business, as this
is more about the district council
and its ridiculous cycle lane and
taking public parking from the
main street which no one wants.
My bet is the district council
was counting on these parks
and Black Door has got in its
way by standing up for its rights.
We need to get behind our local
businesses and support them,
not run them down over such a
pathetic issue.
A reader responds to an
article about the district
council increasing its
funding for the Lakeside
Soldiers Memorial Hall
rebuild
Ross Watson – Lakeside
Soldiers Memorial Hall
should be rebuilt with the
increased funding in line with
other communities’ rebuilds
urgently.

Cashing in on the comedy show
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
COMMUNITY groups are
laughing all of the way to the
bank thanks to the Live in
Lincoln Comedy Night.
Some of New Zealand’s top
comedians will be travelling to
the township to take the stage
for an evening of comedy at the
Lincoln Event Centre.
Comedians Ben Hurley, Paul
Ego, Michele A’Court, Jeremy
Elwood and Gish will star in the
show.
The organisers behind the
show are giving a selection of
Selwyn high schools, primary
schools and community groups
the opportunity to fundraise for
their organisations.
Organiser and Lincoln
resident David Parlane said
for every ticket sold by the
community group, organisers
are donating $5 back to it.
“If someone sells 100 tickets,
they make $500 . . . it is just
another way to give back to the
community,” he said.
Mr Parlane said tickets for the
comedy show are “ripping out
the door” at the moment.
The event was first launched
last year with nearly 1000 people
attending the night featuring
comedians TV3’s Seven Days

Bid to get
Glentunnel
cycleway
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PETITION signed by 30
residents has been put forward
in a bid to have a cycleway
constructed in the Glentunnel
area.
A loop cycleway starting and
finishing in Glentunnel and
covering Glenroy, Hororata and
Coalgate was presented to the
Malvern Community Board last
week.
It was presented by board
member Karen Meares.
Board chairwoman Jenny
Gallagher said while she can see
a lot of benefits for the cycleway,
there is a lot of work yet to go into
the planning of the project.
Darfield resident Ross Fowler,
who cycles in the area, said it
would make the roads safer for
cyclists.
“Traffic and tourists are not so
good on overtaking cyclists
. . . there hasn’t really been an
accident but I am sure there will
be one day,” he said.
His wife, Maria agreed and said
a lot of people are scared of traffic.
She said it was a great idea for
encouraging people to get out on
their cycles.
“Now I can hear!
It’s exciting.
Really exciting.”
Carol is looking forward to a
lifetime of healthy hearing with the
help of the team at Bay Audiology.

Selwyn on verge of first ever
promotion to the top flight
• Gordon Findlater
SELWYN UNITED need just
a draw against Christchurch
United at Foster Park tonight
to secure promotion into the
Mainland Premier League for the
first time in the club’s history.
Their 3-2 win over Halswell
United at the weekend means
with four rounds remaining,
Selwyn are 10 points clear of
second place Christchurch.
“This has been the goal since
the start of the season. There’s
been a few sleepless nights as
we’ve got closer to realising that,”
said Selwyn coach Lee Padmore.
The fixture was originally
meant to be played on July 22 but
was rescheduled due to flooding.
The conditions during Saturday’s
win over Halswell weren’t
much better. Halswell Domain
was still recovering from the
recent run of bad weather.
“It was horrendous,” said Padmore.
“The conditions took us a bit by
surprise and we found ourselves
1-0 down and struggling to get
out of our own half early in the
game.”
Selwyn eventually adapted and
found their mojo, scoring three
goals in the space of 15min to
lead 3-1 at the break.
Jamie Corrodus scored their
first, converting from the penalty
spot. Selwyn’s second and third
STRIKE: Aidan Barbour-Ryan scored one of Selwyn’s three
goals in their win over Halswell at the weekend.
goals both came from counter
attacks through Dan Ede and
Aidan Barbour-Ryan.
In the second half, it didn’t take
long for Selwyn’s comfortable
lead to disappear.
“I thought we were cruising.
Then we conceded a silly goal
from a set piece and found
ourselves down to 10 men with
30min to go,” said Padmore.
“It was a difficult day for
defenders with the conditions
and we really had to sit back and
grind it out late.”
The team are hoping for a
strong show of support at Foster
Park tonight for what could be a
day to remember at the club for
many years to come.

SATURDAY’S Ellesmere rugby
final between Darfield and
Southbridge will be a special
occasion for the McIlroy
brothers Blair and Scott.
Blair has played club rugby at
Darfield since a junior and will
play his 200th first grade match
for the club in Saturday’s final.
His brother Scott brought up
his 200th game last month for
the club.
“Blair’s played for Darfield his
entire life other than a couple of
years in England,” said Darfield
co-coach Alex Robertson.
“Lifting the Coleman Shield
would be a pretty awesome way
to bring up 200 I reckon.”

final. He will

Milestone final for
season with four trophies in the
cabinet alive with a 33-7 win
over Prebbleton at the weekend,
while Darfield will hope to win
their first ever Coleman Shield
after accounting for Waihora
24-13 on Saturday.
Darfield and Southbridge met
earlier in the year in roundrobin
play.
Southbridge took the honours
21-10 on that occasion.
“It will be business as usual
this week. We want to come
into the game physically and
mentally fresh. It’s always going
to be tough against Southbridge
and they’re probably the favourites
coming into the game,” said
Robertson.
Darfield got off to a slow
start in their semi-final against
Waihora and quickly found
themselves down 6-0.

approaching from Sandy Knolls Road will need to stop. Traffic delays
may occur and detours may operate while the upgrade occurs.
Construction of a right turn bay is continuing at the intersection of
Dynes Road and Springston Rolleston Road, with traffic controls in
place at this location. Care is needed when driving through the site.
Cattlestop cleaning and ford reinstatement is occurring on
Algidus Road. Flooding repairs will be occurring at various areas
across the district.
Slip removal and repair work is continuing on Malvern Hills Road.

Christchurch Southern Motorway Extension–NZTA
From Monday 31 July the CSM2 project team continue to fell trees
along the north-bound side of Main South Road between Robinsons
Road and Waterholes Road. This will be carried out using Stop/Go

allowing more time for your journey or using alternative side roads.
Dog bylaw – we want your opinion
We’re looking to offer more spaces for you to take your furry friend to run around – and we’re looking for
your feedback.
The Council is now undertaking public consultation on changes to its Dog Bylaw, which include the
addition of several new areas where off-leash exercise is permitted, and additions to the list of schools
and other locations where dogs are prohibited.
Proposed new off-leash exercise areas include Foster Park (Rolleston), Leeston Dog Exercise Area,
McHughs Forest Park, Preston Avenue Reserve (West Melton), Coalgate Recreation Reserve, Dryden
Reserve (Rolleston), Edendale Reserve, Waihora Domain (Motukarara), and Westview Park (Darfield).
Schools added to the list of areas prohibited to dogs include Rolleston College, West Rolleston School,
and Lemonwood Grove School, along with the Darfield and Prebbleton skate parks.
More information is available at all Council service centres and libraries and on the Council’s website
www.selwyn.govt.nz/haveyoursay
The Council wants to hear your views on the draft policy. The consultation period finishes on Friday 8
September 2017. You can make your submission online or by emailing submissions@selwyn.govt.nz
You can also post your submission to: The Regulatory Manager, Selwyn District Council, Dog Control
Bylaw Appendices 2 and 3 Amendments, P O Box 90, Rolleston.
Report a pothole
Potholes breed like rabbits in the rain!
After the recent flooding across the district you may have
noticed an increased number of potholes appearing on
Selwyn roads. Council staff are working to fix these but
with around 2,500 kilometres of roads in Selwyn it’s hard
for staff to stay on top of every stretch of road.
You can help us by reporting a pothole to our team so
that we are aware of it and can then take steps to repair
it. There are a number of ways you can do this.
If you have a smartphone you can download a free app
called Snap, Send, Solve. This app is very simple to use,
it asks you to take a photo of the pothole or other issue,
it then identifies the location using the phone's GPS
data and sends an email to the Council from your email
address, including the incident type, notes, address of
incident, photo, and contact details. The report is then
allocated to the relevant Council department who will
take the appropriate action.
You can also report a pothole by filling out a Helpline
form on our website at www.selwyn.govt.nz/contact-us/
helpline. This form asks you for details about your issue
and your contact details so that Council can let you know
when the issue is resolved. You can also call our Helpline
on 347 2800 and speak to our friendly staff.

Rates rebates applications for eligible Selwyn ratepayers will open from Monday 14 August.
The rates rebate scheme is a nationwide programme which provides a rebate of up to $620 for low
income earners who were paying rates for the home in which they were living on 1 July 2017.
Rebates are calculated on total household income, the level of rates and the number of dependants.
The income limit for a rebate is $24,790 although ratepayers with income over this amount may still be
entitled to a rebate depending on their total rates cost and number of dependents.
A rates rebate calculator and example tables are available on the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA)
website: www.ratesrebates.govt.nz. Application forms are available from the DIA website, or from Council
service centres. You will be asked to provide accurate information about your income, and that of any
partner or joint home owner who lives with you, for the tax year ended 31 March 2017.
From 14 August to complete an application you can visit the Council’s Rolleston headquarters during

Tim WraighT and Ché VinCenT
- Changing STorieS -
Both Tim Wraight and Ché Vincent live in the Motueka region in the top of the
South Island, an area of diverse landscapes and environments from which to
draw inspiration for their work.
Tim’s carved wooden work for ‘Changing Stories’ exhibition explores the
traditions associated with the reverence given to relics and remains, using
the cultural practices of making intricate containers that different cultures
fashion to hold these precious objects, Maori wakahuia (treasure boxes)
and wakatupapaku (bone boxes) and European reliquaries which held the
bones of saints, are the starting point for these pieces. Found remains of
creatures and objects from the natural environment in his home area. Tim
has constructed stories around fictional and whimsical; taking an object and
giving it a new narrative and honouring its previous existence.
Ché’s work for this exhibition is formed by his
passion for botany and natural processes;
exploring the patterns created by plant forms
by the way water changes and repeats a flow
pattern by decay and renewal. He uses recycled
copper panels through a process of serendipitous
experimentation. Ché has developed a fluid and
intuitive approach and has developed methods of
melting, beating, bending, and fusing copper into organic forms. Copper is a lovely
metal to work with; malleable and enduring with a beautiful cast of warm colours.

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
VESPULA WASPS are
probably one of the most
hated species around the
house, on a picnic, or walking
through a beech forest.
There are two species
of Vespula wasps in New
Zealand, the German
wasp (Vespula germanica)
and the common wasp
(Vespula vulgaris), which
arrived in New Zealand in
1945 and 1978 respectively.
At this time of the year
it’s not uncommon to
discover a Vespula queen
wasp overwintering in the
wood heap in a hibernating
state.
Their striped black and
yellow appearance is unmistakable
and is a warning
that can be backed up
STING: The Vespula wasps’ black and yellow
appearance is unmistakable and a warning that can
be backed up by a painful sting.
by a painful sting.
The two species can be
distinguished by markings
on the head – the common
wasp has a black anchor
shape on its face, which
is absent on the German
wasp.
They nest in the ground,
in trees or in buildings
and could contain between
5000 to 10,000 wasps.
New Zealand beech
forests in the Nelson area
have the highest recorded
densities of the wasps in
the world, with an average
of 12 nests per hectare.
The highest number of
nests is 60 per hectare,
which equates to 30 nests
on a rugby field.
The biomass of wasps in
a beech forest (3.8kg/ha)
is more than all the native
birds.
Beech forests support
large densities of these
exotic wasps because the
trees are host to a native
scale insect that produces
large amounts of sugary
honeydew that the wasps
harvest to the detriment
of our native birds and
insects.
The wasps also prey on
insects and chicks in nests.
BLACK AND
YELLOW:
Vespula
wasps
nest in the
ground, in
trees or in

and could
contain
between
5,000 to
10,000
wasps.

Hilux dressed up for visual appeal
• By Ross Kiddie
IT’S BECOME a matter of
course, if you sell the traditional
double-cab utility in the New
Zealand market, at some point
there will be a limited production
run of dress-up models.
The light commercial market is
New Zealand’s most buoyant and
those who do sell utes also have
a large range of accessories and
after-market kits which you can
use to personalise your vehicle.
Toyota have had a succession
of upmarket Hilux utes over
the years, the latest to come my
way was a full Toyota Racing
Development, four-wheel-drive,
double cab, and being less
muscular that some of its competitors,
it is a tasteful example of
what can be done to make a ute
look sporty.
I’m quite familiar with TRD
product, a few years ago I purchased
a suspension set for my
Toyota and I can report the
gear is high quality and well
engineered. The fender flares,
honeycomb grille, nudge bar and
big wheels fitted to the base SR5
Hilux look like they are an integral
part of the vehicle. The package
also consists of a motorised
deck cover which, according to
Toyota, is a New Zealand first.
Of course, there’s no gear to
make the ute any quicker or
TOYOTA HILUX TRD: Big wheels and body kit.
handle differently, the inclusions
are cosmetic value only, but it
certainly looks the part and gives
the new-generation Hilux added
flair. The TRD products are not
just confined to the exterior, on
the inside there are TRD-branded
floor mats.
Those items sit on top of a
well-specified machine in the
first instance, the TRD-spec vehicle
sits at $59,990 or $62,490 for
the automatic version.
Powering the TRD Hilux is the
new 2.8-litre turbocharged diesel
engine that Toyota rolled out for
the new series at the beginning of
last year. It is a fuel-friendly unit
for which Toyota claim a 7.6-litre
per 100km (37mpg) combined
cycle rating.
It is also listed with power
figures of 130kW and 450Nm,
the latter available all of the way
from 1600rpm to 2400rpm. It
has strong turbo boost and works
freely through the transmission.
Coupled to a six-speed manual,
there are short gaps between
gears which allows the engine to
work freely through the torque
spread. There’s also a push-button
power mode which enhances
throttle response.
The Hilux’s four-wheel-drive
system is operated by an in-cabin
dial device, the low ratio transfer
selection means immediate
crawl speed. I only used it for a
short forestry track burst near
Hororata, but I can report that
the TRD ute isn’t burdened by its
• Price – Toyota Hilux TRD,

height, 1815mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,

six-speed manual.
• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km
enhancements, the Hilux in this
form is still the formidable offroad
machine it has gained such
a high reputation for, its 286mm
of ground clearance figure is right
up there with its competitors.
The TRD Hilux has fabulous
suspension given its load bearing
characteristics. It’s very traditional
underneath with a leafspring
located live rear axle and
independent double wishbones
up front.
That mechanical aspect is
matched by the interior detailing.
The Hilux is very car-like inside,
the trim material and fittings are
first class.
On the road, the TRD Hilux
feels sprightly and eager, that taking
into account I only drove the
vehicle without load. The manual
shift works freely and clutch
action is light and progressive.
In rear-wheel-drive drive mode
it steers keenly into a corner and
there is relatively strong feedback
through the steering. The TRD
model rides on huge Maxxis
rubber (265/60 x 18in) and they
are quiet tyres which also help
provide solid feel through the
steering. There’s always a point
where you think oversteer would
develop if you accelerate keenly
through a corner, but there is a
five-star safety system in place
and the electronic traction and
stability control devices alleviate
that.
At 100km/h, the engine is
turning over at a lazy 1500rpm,
providing quiet motion and
impressive fuel usage, at that
speed it is sipping diesel instantaneously
at the rate of just
7l/100km (40mpg), which to my
way of thinking is good for a
vehicle which weighs in at over
two-tonne.
I have an acquaintance who
recently bought a double cab ute,
and the decision of what brand to
buy was based solely on what he
received in terms of extra items
made available on the vehicle.
That suggests to me that many
other buyers look at a purchase
the same way. If the TRD model
is no longer on Toyota’s books,
there are plenty of other options
and kits that will dress up Hilux.
Check out the Gladiator, it’s
about as bold as a ute can get.

Economic impact of weeds far
greater than estimated
The true cost of weeds to New Zealand’s
agricultural economy is likely to be far
higher than previous research would
suggest, according to a new study funded by
AgResearch.
AgResearch and Scion scientists worked
with economists from Lincoln University’s
Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit to
review the available published research on the
costs of weeds to New Zealand’s productive
land (for the pastoral, arable and forestry
sectors). That review reached a conservative
overall estimate of $1.658 billion a year (based
on 2014 costs).
“The research on weed costs done previously
used differing approaches, and the numbers
were sometimes outdated or contained
guesswork,” says AgResearch principal
scientist Dr Graeme Bourdôt.
“In addition, the estimate of $1.658b only
covers the few weed species – 10 of the 187
pasture weeds, some arable land weeds and
forestry weeds – that have been the subject
of research into their impacts. The focus has
largely been on the loss of production. The
substantial costs of weed control, such as the
use of herbicides, was not always considered,”
Dr Bourdôt says.
“Given all of these limitations, the true cost
of the weeds to the agricultural sector
is likely to be much higher than the
$1.658b estimate.”
The study looked at the economic
impact of some of the more
widespread and destructive weed
species such as gorse, broom, yellow
bristle grass and Californian thistle.
“We also developed a dynamic
approach for estimating the potential
costs of weeds that have not yet
realised their potential range in New
Zealand, taking account of possible
rates of spread, maximum geographic
extent and changes in consumer prices
for agricultural products,” Dr Bourdôt
says.
“This dynamic approach applied
to the Giant Buttercup weed in dairy
pastures indicates that this weed alone
would cost the dairy industry $592
million per year in lost milk solids
revenue if it were to spread across its
entire range over the next 20 years.”
“New Zealand has one of the highest levels
of invasion by introduced plant species in the
world, and there has always been a shortage of
information when it comes to their economic
costs on productive land.”
The Giant Buttercup is a potential
threat to the dairy industry
“Knowing more about these costs is
important to developing cost-effective ways to
tackle weeds, and in quantifying the benefits
of research aimed at keeping us ahead of the
game.”
New Zealand has one
of the highest levels of
invasion by introduced
plant species in the world

New animal welfare
regulations being
developed
Minister for Primary
Industries Nathan Guy has
confirmed 46 new animal
welfare regulations will be
developed this year.
“Changes we made to
the Animal Welfare Act
in 2015 have allowed us to
create directly enforceable
regulations. This has
given the Act more teeth,
and creates more tools to
deal with mistreatment of
animals,” Mr Guy says.
“These 46 regulations
include stock transport,
farm husbandry, companion and working
animals, pigs, layer hens and the way
animals are accounted for in research,
testing and teaching.
“These follow the Young Calf and Live
Animal Export regulations, which we fasttracked
and introduced last year. These
regulations contributed to a reduction of
more than 50 per cent in mortality rates for
bobby calves during the 2016 season.”
Last year, the Ministry for Primary
Industries consulted on 91 animal welfare
regulations and received more than
1400 submissions from a wide range of
individuals and organisations, all with
Minister for Primary
Industries Nathan Guy
different perspectives on
animal welfare.
MPI will now focus on
having the next 46 regulations
ready to be delivered by the
end of this year and to come
into effect before October
2018. The delayed lead-in
time will enable farmers,
processors, transporters and
others to ensure that their
systems are up and running
before the new regulations
take effect.
The remaining regulations
that were consulted on last
year will be considered in a third package
of work in 2018, for introduction in 2019.
“In 2014, New Zealand’s animal
welfare system was ranked first equal out
of 50 countries assessed by the global
animal protection charity World Animal
Protection,” Mr Guy says.
“Animal welfare is extremely important
to New Zealanders and to our international
consumers. We take good care of our
animals but one bad incident can damage
our reputation.
“That’s why these new regulations are
important, providing greater enforcement
and helping protect animals.”
Horticulture
health and safety
toolkit launched
Horticulture New Zealand has teamed
up with WorkSafe New Zealand to create
a health and safety toolkit specifically
designed for horticulture businesses.
“Managing health and safety in the
workplace is a critical issue for horticulture
businesses,” Horticulture New Zealand
chief executive Mike Chapman says.
“Keeping up with what is required is
something we can help growers with.
“Working with WorkSafe, we have been
able to customise a toolkit, called Keep
Safe, Keep Growing, which includes both
a written booklet and an easy-to-workthrough
online guide to help growers
identify and manage health and safety
risks.
“The guideline is targeted at those who
are responsible for the management of
health and safety in a horticulture business.
It covers the steps that growers should take
to build a health and safety system.
“Features include a guide for visitors to
a property, tools and training resources
for workers and contractors, and the
ability to create risk assessments for Good
Agricultural Practice (GAP) audits that are
part of many horticulture businesses.”
Horticulture New Zealand represents
5500 commercial fruit and vegetable
growers who employ 60,000 people. A
copy of the Keep Safe, Keep Growing guide
is being posted to all growers. Additional
copies will be available from Horticulture
New Zealand on request.

Gardening
Ripe raspberries reign supreme
• By Rachel Vogan
ONCE THE berry season starts
in summer, I check my crops for
ripening berries with a hawklike
intensity.
Many berries never make
it out of the garden; I find I
become quite selfish and would
rather sit scoffing handfuls of
the newly-ripened gems in the
garden than take them inside to
share.
While I love strawberries,
loganberries, and boysenberries,
to me raspberries will always
reign supreme.
Many people who visit and
wander my garden have no
idea that I grow raspberries,
in most part because they are
grown under a tight tent of
netting.
This contraption which,
admittedly, looks rather
like a prison, is an ugly but
highly effective deterrent to
both birds and my pet dog,
Stella, preventing them from
harvesting my berry bounty
before I can.
The best advice I can give
anyone who wants to enjoy a
heavy harvest of raspberries is
to invest in some sort of cropcover
to ensure you, rather than
the local wildlife, get first pick at
your crop.
INVENTIVE: Wine barrels are brilliant for growing raspberries.
Chicken wire netting keeps the birds and dogs at bay
TYPES OF RASPBERRIES
Raspberries are classified as
either summer – or autumnfruiting
types. Both grow in
exactly the same way, but fruit
at separate times on different
stem growth, meaning that
with clever planting, you can
be harvesting raspberries for
around four months of the
year.
The summer types produce
fruit on stems that have been
dormant throughout winter,
on what we call last season’s
growth. Because of this, it’s
important to know what sort
of raspberries you are planting,
as it can be easy to prune off
the flowering or fruiting wood
if you don’t know when your
plants fruit.
The autumn-fruiting varieties
produce their fruit on stems that
appear in the current season’s
stems or wood, meaning the
new stems that shoot up in
spring will mature into branches
that will support the autumn
fruit.
WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW
When to plant
Winter/spring.
Where to plant
Full sun.
Plant spacing
1m in garden beds, in
closer if planted in tubs.
Time to maturity
Will fruit within the first
season.
Where to buy
Garden centres and hardware
stores, specialist edible
nursery outlets.
SUMMER VARIETIES
Aspiring: Large, conical, firm
fruit and dark red in colour.
Excellent flavour.
Clutha: Medium-sized, tasty
fruit.
Ivory: A newer hybrid with
sweet, pale golden-yellow fruit.
Summer Surprise: Bright red
berries, upright plant habit,
reliable cropper.
Tulameen: High-yielding,
mid-summer variety, long
picking season. Canes are
virtually thornless, so picking is
very easy.
Waiau: This variety may fruit
in both summer and autumn;
large sweet berries appear on
old season woods and also on
the new growth.
AUTUMN VARIETIES
Autumn Bliss: A heavy
producer of large, red berries.
Ripens earlier than Heritage and
will ripen into late autumn.
Heritage: One of the best
with firm, tasty fruit, dark red
berries.
WHEN & WHERE
Where
Raspberries need full, all day
sun, but will cope with just
afternoon sun at a pinch. They
are happy in large tubs and
containers, and wine barrels
are a good size for two to three
plants.
Soil
They are not overly fussy in
the root department, so most
average loamy soils are fine,
although avoid sandy or heavy
clay soils as raspberries do not
thrive in dry or waterlogged
areas.
When
Winter and spring are great
times to plant.
Love Strawberries
Start planning now!
Strawberries are a kiwi favourite
and now is the time to get them
into the garden. Garden beds, raised
planters, pots, hanging baskets and
other containers are all great places
for these wee gems to grow. If you
don’t have an area at home to grow
them in the ground, head down to
your local garden supplies shop and
grab a pot or hanging basket. Make
sure you get top quality mix to plant
into – it will make a big difference to
the amount and quality of the fruit
you get from your plant. You don’t
need a mix that specifically says
“Strawberry Mix” on it, our Patio Plus
will give you excellent results, as will
our Tomato Mix, because these two
fruits have very similar nutritional
requirements. You can also use the
strawberry fertiliser (and vice versa)
if you have one and not the other. If
you are planting into the ground, mix
through some Organic Compost with
the soil that is there, if you are doing
a raised bed, you can use either Vege
Garden Mix, or Premium Potting Mix.
When it comes to planting
Make sure you give the plants space
to thrive. Dig a hole about 10cm
deep to ensure the roots become
well established and they can spread
out to get the essential nutrients and
water. Pat the soil firmly around the
plant once you have placed it in the
hole, water them in and put a layer
of peastraw or mulch on top (Super
Scree is great for this).
Pest control
As the plant begins to fruit, you will want to put some form of
protection over the plants to stop the birds getting the berries.
Use a mesh or wire cover so they still get air, water and sunlight.
Handy tip: don’t forget to feed them
through the growing season!

Checklist for selling your home
MAKE SMALL FIXES
Inspect your home with a buyer’s
eyes, and correct the flaws that are
most egregious (if affordable) or
can be relatively easily fixed—from
repairing cracks in the walkways
to repainting dingy walls or oiling
creaky hinges.
SET A PRICE
A real estate agent will give you a
market analysis free of charge or
commitment. Ask a few to get a
broader picture of the market, then
ask to see listings for properties
similar to yours that have sold
in the past six months. Check
out comparable listings yourself
in the real estate section of your
newspaper or on websites. Then
decide whether you want a quick,
easy sale or the highest possible
price.
CLEAN & DECLUTTER
Weed out excess furniture,
knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it,
donate it, give it away, sell it at a
yard sale, or put it into storage—so
the house seems more spacious and
buyers can imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT
MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start
showing your house, keep the lawn
mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens
weeded, rooms spotless and
clutter-free.
READY YOUR HOME FOR
OPEN DAYS
Hide pocketable valuables,
display fresh flowers or bowls
of fruit, bake a batch of cookies
for the homey smell, open the
drapes, keep pets out of sight.
DECIDE WHETHER TO DO
YOUR OWN BUILDING
INSPECTION
It may save you time, especially
with older homes, to identify—
and potentially solve—problems
your buyer’s inspection will
discover later.

in the Selwyn District
Winter landscaping
tasks for a new build
Hard landscaping and ground preparation around a
new home can be started now.
Ground preparation – Prepare the ground by
spreading and levelling out top soil, spraying two or
three times to eradicate unwanted twitch couch grass and
weeds. Ready lawn can be laid though seed is best sown
in spring or autumn.
Outdoor wiring – Outdoor wiring for exterior garden
lighting, a water feature, spa pool or swimming pool may
not have been on the radar when the house was built.
Even if planned for the future, it is best to install the
wiring for these, before laying lawn and planting out the
garden.
Water features – Incorporate a pond, fountain or
waterfall for a relaxing spot in the garden. Their pumps
can be electrically wired, battery operated or solar
powered.
Irrigation system – An irrigation system can be fitted
at any stage. Having it in place before laying the lawn
will make it easier to water, aiding its survival. Irrigation
specialists are more available in winter so may offer a
better price.
Garden edging – Garden beds are more easily
maintained if edged. Macrocarpa, retaining blocks, old
bricks, stones, concrete curbing and recycled plastic
board roll are often used, with seamless materials
translating to less weeds growing in joints or cracks.
Constructing fencing, decks and paved areas – While
driveways and main paths are usually laid before house
completion, other paving and decks may still need to be
built so getting this work underway will provide areas
for relaxing outdoors on warm days with a free run for
planting and finalising landscaping come spring.
Decking may be built using treated pine, bamboo,
hardwood or a composite product with the cost and
durability varying between each. Apply for a permit if the
deck will be 1.5 metres or higher.
Seating and raised garden beds around the garden or
deck can also be constructed though planting may be left
until the spring nursery sales.
Creating shaded areas – Screens, fencing and pergolas
over outdoor courtyards and decks add interest and
provide structure for additional shading like blinds.
Alternatively, sun shades or awnings might be chosen
and with manufacturers often quieter at this time of year,
ordering now should guarantee delivery before summer.
Planting deciduous trees – Deciduous trees and
shrubs are dormant over winter so now is the perfect
time to get these into the garden. Prepare the ground with
compost and mulch so moisture is retained over summer.
Glasshouses and sheds – A garden shed or glasshouse
might be desirable. Kitset options are available at
hardware stores or one might be built to suit your setting.
Taking care of hard
landscaping and preparing
the ground for a lawn will
give you more time to get
out and enjoy the warmer
months ahead.
Pumps for water features may be electrically wired, battery
operated or solar powered.
Hardwood is a popular choice for decking.
Now is the time to plant deciduous trees.
Fencing, paving and installing irrigation can be constructed now.
12
Key reasons
to buy new
Buying new has many advantages. No one has
yet lived in your brand new home and it has that
new home smell and feel.
That doesn’t appeal to the villa crowd.
But many people dream of a home in a
new suburb.
There are many other advantages --
such as being able to customise the home
before it’s built. Buyers love it that their
build guarantee covers most things and
there’s little maintenance to do for the first
10 years.
There are a long list of reasons some
people dream of buying new.
They include:
• Current Building Code requirements
specify a higher standard of insulation
and glazing than you can expect in an
older home, which makes your new home
warmer in winter and cooler in summer,
meaning cheaper to run. In addition
there has been a vast improvement in the
quality and technology of construction
materials over the last decade.
• New homes are designed for modern
lifestyles with walk-in wardrobes, double
or triple car garaging, en suites and heat
pumps.
• Internal access garaging.
• Indoor-outdoor flow. Home builders
before the 1970s rarely thought about this.
• Automatic pool covers and electric
curtains are included in a lot of new
homes, he says.
• In a new subdivision you’re not going
to have five cross-leased small homes next
door to your architecturally designed fivebedroom
dream home, he says.
• New purpose-built shopping and
service centres cater for the modern life.
• New schools can be popular. New
schools are being designed with “Modern
Learning Environments”, which are
considered better layouts for 21st-century
learning.
Another important factor is it’s easier
to get a mortgage. New Reserve Bank of
New Zealand loan to value (LVR) ratio
restrictions from October 1 don’t relate
to new homes. Likewise the KiwiSaver
HomeStart grant is doubled for first time
buyers.
When it comes to new apartment
buildings they’re built to a higher
standard of earthquake/fire proofing and,
hopefully, are no longer leaky.
There are, of course, disadvantages to
buying new. Not everyone wants to wait
six or 12 months to move into their home.
Other downsides include:
• Borrowing to cover the progress
payments is more complex than taking
out a mortgage on an existing property.
• Builders and developers can go broke,
leaving the buyer in an awkward position.
• With some new homes the buyer
effectively needs to become a project
manager.
• You have to deal with council for
building and sometimes resource consent.
• The location may be further from the
centre than you wanted.
• If it’s infill housing you might have a
cross lease situation that some people find
tricky.
• There are often teething problems with
a new build.
• You won’t get a quaint tree-lined
street.
• Your section will most likely be
smaller than that of an existing home.
• Fences, paths and landscaping might
need to be added at a cost.

Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
So what are you waiting for? Check
out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.
