Darfield

bus

trial

shut

down

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

LOW PATRONAGE has led

to the discontinuation of a bus

service in Darfield and West

Melton.

Public transport advocate Bus

Go Canterbury has been left

disappointed after Red Bus ceased

a bus trial running from Darfield

through to West Melton and

Christchurch.

Red Bus previously gave the

green light for the trial to run

from February 7 after a successful

meeting with Bus Go Canterbury.

But low patronage meant the

bus service ended on March 9.

Bus Go Canterbury co-founder

Nick Stoneman said he was disappointed

but not surprised.

“We still maintain Darfield

and West Melton should be on

the network . . . it is not the size

of Rolleston yet but it is getting

there,” he said.

Patronage numbers were

estimated to be between 15-20 in

the morning and two to five passengers

in the evenings during the

trial. •Turn to page 5

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi

from the reporter’s desk

THE HOPES and dreams of reinstating a bus service between

Darfield and Christchurch again has been crushed to bits.

A lot of hard work was put into getting the bus trial off the

ground, but as expected, getting people out of their cars is easier

said than done.

With fares as high as $9 for a one-way trip, it easy to understand

why such a service was never going to last.

Meanwhile, the district council has outlined its vision for

what it wants to achieve for the next 10 years.

The draft Long Term Plan 2018-2028 has been given the green

light to go to public consultation – and will be open from April

4.

From extending the Selwyn Aquatic Centre to introducing a

district-wide rating for community centre, halls and reserves –

some big changes for Selwyn are ahead.

Don’t let the opportunity to have your say slip by – one voice

alone can make all the difference.

Traffic light plan could come early

Council to

monitor

roundabout

congestion


TRAFFIC LIGHTS could be

installed earlier than planned

to combat congestion at a

roundabout in Lincoln.

The district council is planning

to place traffic lights at the Gerald

St/Springs

Rd/Ellesmere

Junction Rd

intersection

in 2027/28 as

part of its draft

Long Term

Plan 2018-2028.

Malcolm

Lyall

But the district

council’s

transportation

asset manager Andrew Mazey

said it will consider advancing

the upgrade earlier than expected

if traffic delays become of

significant concern.

He said the it will be monitoring

the performance of the

intersection.

It comes as traffic is often

backed up to New World Lincoln

and along Springs Rd at peak

hours in the morning.

“Council is very aware that this

busy intersection needs to operate

efficiently within realistic levels

at peak morning and evening

times to deal with the increasing

traffic demands,” Mr Mazey said.

The traffic demands are a result

of Lincoln University and other

developments in the area, including

the Te Whāriki subdivision.

The traffic signal installation

is part of a series of roading upgrades

in support of the Lincoln

Town Centre master plan.

Mr Mazey said the plan will

progressively upgrade Gerald St

from east to west over the next

14 years.

It is estimated the upgrade will

cost $1.92 million.

Lincoln chief fire officer Jeremy

Greenwood said at peak times

the roundabout can be an issue.

“But we take our time and get

round the best we can considering

the circumstances,” he said.

Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall

said there is a lot of congestion

due to a lot of single occupant

cars travelling to the university.

“I do wish more people going

to the university would use public

transport but it doesn’t seem

to happen,” he said.

Mr Lyall said he would

welcome a review of having the

traffic lights installed earlier than

2027/28.

Leeston resident Caitlin Miles,

who travels to Christchurch via

Lincoln most days said the traffic

BUSY:

traffic.

MARTIN

HUNTER

along that section of the road is

“ridiculous” at the moment.

She said she will be glad to see

the district council do something

– but “the sooner the better.”

However, Lincoln Club president

and Hammer Hardware

owner Lynn Townsend said

while he does not travel through

the roundabout at busy times,

the roundabout works well.

“Anytime I go through there,

there is never any problem at all,”

he said.

SLOW SPEED ZONE

Police are urging motorists to

slow down through a temporary

under way in Rolleston. Road

works will remain on Rolleston

end of April. A temporary speed

of 30km/h is currently in place.

Sergeant Alex Pickover said

Views sought on draft Long Term Plan

Selwyn’s draft Long

Term Plan has been

approved and will go

out for consultation

on April 4. Georgia

O’Connor-Harding

reports

THE PUBLIC will get to have

their say on the district council’s

plans for the Selwyn over the

next 10 years.

The district council approved

the draft Long Term Plan 2018-

2028 for public consultation at is

meeting last week.

Feedback is being sought on

a number of projects, including

introducing

chlorination to

water supplies and

bringing in a new

rating structure

for the water race

network.

Sam

Broughton

Public consultation

will begin on

April 4 and run

until May 4.

Mayor Sam Broughton said a

lot is planned and the document

is about asking the community

whether the projects are going to

be affordable.

At the district council meeting,

he said there are a number of

proposals worth highlighting –

VIEW SOUGHT: The draft Long Term Plan proposes to replace the current Prebbleton Hall (left) with a new $6.1 million

community centre facility in 2020/21. The district council’s Rolleston office could also be extended as part of the Long Term Plan.

including district-wide rating for

community centres, halls and reserves.

It is proposed the current

system of different targeted rates

across Selwyn will be replaced

with a standard rate.

Community centre and hall

rates would be set to $100 a year

– increasing to $220 by 2027/28.

The reserve rate of $125 a year

would be increased to $155 by

2027/28. “The halls we have

helped support over the last

three years, they have needed

extra district-wide funding to

make them viable.

“This has shown with our

district-wide rating, smaller

communities just aren’t able to

afford repairs and maintenance

to their halls,” Mr Broughton

said.

In the past, community centre,

hall and reserve district-wide

rates have been met with opposition

from the community.

Mr Broughton also discussed

changes to the water race rating

structure. It is planned to have a

set district-wide structure across

all of Selwyn starting at $300 for

an annual charge, $17/ha charge

and $20 as a public good charge.

Currently, the water race rate

targets are set differently for

Ellesmere, Malvern and Paparua

areas.

Mr Broughton said it is to try

and share costs more fairly. He

also highlighted the walking and

cycling strategy, which is proposing

the construction of seven

major cycleway projects across

Selwyn. The strategy plans to

increase funding for the annual

township footpath extension

programmes to about $400,000

per year. The cost of this planned

programme is $45.5 million.

It will be funded by borrowing,

with the interest and repayments

funded by a New Zealand

Transport Agency subsidy and

the general rate and development

contributions paid by land

developers.

District councillor Nicole Reid

said it is also important people

who are happy with the plan let

the district council know.

“The people who are more vocal

seem to be people against it

. . . we want to hear both sides

and to be able to make a reasoned

decision on the deliberations

we will be making”.

Deliberation hearings will be

in May and the district council

will formally adopt the plan in

late June.

Lincoln Pantry goes reusable

A LINCOLN boutique food

store has ditched its disposable

cups – and is challenging other

businesses to do the same.

The Lincoln Pantry will divert

about 35,000 cups away from the

landfill each year after switching

to reusable cups only last week.

The business officially

launched its campaign on

Thursday at an event officiated

by Deputy Mayor Malcolm

Lyall.

With nearly 300 million

disposable coffee cups going to

landfill each year, The Lincoln

Pantry owner Phillippa Boa

said a drastic response was

necessary and decided to ditch

the disposables altogether.

“It’s not just the amount of

waste to landfill that’s created

by the inability to effectively

compost the cups, it’s also the

amount of energy that goes

into creating the cups in the

first place, and the ongoing

management of them in the

waste stream thereafter,” she

said.

Mrs Boa said as a result, it is

joining the BYO cup movement

and, from now on, will only

provide takeaway coffee in

reusable cups.

“Disposable cup-free pantry

today, disposable cup-free

Lincoln tomorrow? Disposable

cup-free Canterbury and New

Zealand hopefully soon to

follow,” she said.

To further encourage BYO

behaviour, all purchases of keep

cups from The Lincoln Pantry

will be rewarded with a free

coffee.

Mrs Boa said the business has

an affordable range of options

– from basic bamboo and bioversions

through to premiumbranded

glass keep cups.

For the “texters and serial

forgetters”, the pantry offers

a ‘swappacup’ subscription

system. “People who text in their

coffee order are usually on a

deadline, so having to come in

with their own keep cup would

actually slow them up. With

“swappacup”, they just swap

their old cup for a new cup with

their favourite brew all ready to

go,” Mrs Boa said.

She said it is ideal for those

who forget their keep cup or

those who haven’t had the

opportunity to clean their cup.

“But we’re more than happy

to swap a dirty one for a clean

one. The rewards for the planet

are worthwhile”. The Lincoln

Pantry’s initial investment in

reusable cups was made with the

support of Lincoln Envirotown

and it hopes the initiative will

encourage other businesses to

follow suit.

Darfield bus

trial shut down


•From page 1

Red Bus chief executive Paul

McNoe said there were not enough

people to make it commercially

viable.

“The patronage would have

almost needed to double to make it

a commercial success,” he said.

But he said the effort put in by

Bus Go Canterbury was appreciated.

The bus service left Darfield at

7.15am and Christchurch

at 5.30pm. Mr

Stoneman said it tried

to change the evening

bus to 3.30pm to pick

up school children

but the idea did not

gain traction with

Mr McNoe said

this was because the survey indicated

more people preferred a

return time of 5.30pm. Residents

travelling to and from Darfield

were expected to pay $9 each way

and children $6. Adults travelling

from West Melton paid $6 each

way while children paid $4.30, and

residents travelling from Yaldhurst

paid $5 and children $3.80.

Mr Stoneman said the cost of the

fare was also “not productive”.

Plan approved for Rolleston

DESIGN: The location plan outlining where elements including

a movie cinema, retail outlets and the new library and

community centre will be as part of the Rolleston town centre

master plan.


PLANS TO bring Rolleston’s

town centre to life has taken a

major step forward.

The district council approved

the location plan for the new

Rolleston town centre to go

ahead at its public meeting last

week.

It means the design phase for

the project can now get under

way.

It comes after 10 years of

discussion and consultation with

the public – with the master

plan first adopted by the district

council in 2014.

The plan lays out where key

elements within the master plan

will be located within Moore, and

Tennyson Sts and Rolleston Drive.

It is made up of four components

– a new Rolleston Library

and Community Centre, the

Rolleston Town Square, transportation/service

linkages and

commercial/retail area.

The planned complex also includes

a movie theatre, retail and

food and beverage outlets.

The recommended plan sees

the library and community centre

located at a key corner of the

reserve and Tennyson St, with

direct pedestrian access to car

parking in Moore St.

Mayor Sam Broughton said to

see the work done to give Rolleston

a “beating heart” is a huge

accomplishment for the district

council.

He said the district council

wants to complete the master

plan over the next five years.

Ten options of how the town

centre could be laid out was

reduced down to three – with

option A selected by the district

council last week.

Project manager Joanne

Nikolaou said this is “definitely a

milestone.”

She said the preferred option

placing the library and community

centre at the top of the

Rolleston Reserve was the best

option as it interlinks the reserve

and community centre and

is a drawcard to bring people

through the site.

Parts of the plan had already

been completed – including

roading projects such as the Tennyson/Kidman

roundabout and

the development of Foster Park.

District councillor Mark Alexander

said the project is a hub for

the future for not only Rolleston

but Selwyn.

“I think this a good step on the

journey. So let’s just get on with

it and get it done,” he said.


THE FIRST step has been made

to upgrade one of Springfield’s

oldest buildings.

The St Peter’s Community

Church has been given a facelift,

Time for council to collect

biodegradable rubbish bags

Ann Judson of Lincoln has

farewelled a life of ballet

after teaching for 44 years.

You said:

Leeston

resident Caitlin

Miles shares

her views on

being more

environmentally

sustainable

BEING environmentallyfriendly

is coming into vogue,

and it’s about time.

Our world is not in the

best state and it’s getting harder

to escape the images of the

marine life that is being harmed

by the amount of plastic in the

oceans.

It’s great to see businesses

and companies getting on-board

by being environmentallyfriendly,

using biodegradable

products, they are no longer a

luxury.

The supermarket is a good

place to start doing something

for the environment, such as

buying biodegradable rubbish

bags.

Safe to say, I got a little too excited

when I saw these bin bags

in the supermarket. I thought

I would finally stop feeling bad

about putting all of my rubbish

destined for the landfill inside

a suffocating and damaging

plastic bag.

However, I was surprised

when I found out that I couldn’t

put these biodegradable bags

curbside, as they are not district

council approved.

So what I would like to

see is all councils start

collecting biodegradable rubbish

bags.

It’s great to see companies

taking it upon themselves to

provide an eco-friendly option

but I think it would go a long

way if our councils made these

changes to help protect our

amazing environment.

Is this an option the district

council would consider?

I know I could get a wheelie

bin but it’s too expensive so I’m

reduced to bin bags.

Jacqui Freeman – Congratulations

on your retirement

Ann Judson. You are a very

inspiring woman well respected

by many families. Enjoy the time

with your family. Love from the

Clarke family.

ManaMelanie Smith – Ann

taught me in the 1980s. She was

brilliant. I wish her all the best.

Sue Heggie – Ann taught

Sam at Duvauchelle when he was

a little boy. A wonderful teacher.

Thank you Ann.

Mandy Watchorn – Wonderful

teacher all my love.

John Summers writes

about transparency at the

district council and the

Bellfield subdivision in

Southbridge

When are the mayor and

elected councillors going to tell

the chief executive officer David

Ward that he is in charge of a district

council not a secret society?

My simple request for information

about a subdivision directly

across the road from me was

comprehensively ignored until

I enlisted the help of my local

councillor.

I thank him for his intervention

but why was it necessary?

We ratepayers keep the whole

caboodle on the road as I was

painfully reminded as I wrote out

a rates cheque for over $500 last

week. The least we should expect

is straight transparent and preferably

prompt responses to a simple

request for information.

As well as the all important

principles enshrined in our democratic

system that distinguish it

from other systems ie: free access

to information, you’d think, in

terms of simple efficiency, ratepayers

would not be put through

hoops.

Further, the district council’s

own website quoting from the

Local Government Act 2002 cites:

“ Open, transparent, accountable

conduct.”

Mayor and councillors please

transform this into more than a

mere aspiration.

no dogs allowed in the school grounds

Entry is $5 cash per person

Under 12’s are FREE (when accompanied by an adult)

Over 10,000 people poured into the Clearview School

grounds for the inaugural Clearview Fete in 2016 and

principal Rob Rush hopes this year’s event will attract even

more visitors.

“The community really embraced our first fete and

helped us raise a significant amount of money for the

senior playground,” Mr Rush says.

On Sunday, March 25, the fete will be raising funds to

refurbish the school library, but Mr Rush says that the

biggest priority is to deliver a memorable community

event where everyone can find something to enjoy.

“We will have over 100 stalls, to shop or to eat, as well as

bouncy castles, a treasure hunt and other entertainment,

so I am pretty sure we have something for everyone,” he

says.

The Clearview Fete will feature stalls with arts and crafts,

books, plants, clothing, jewellery, homeware, health and

beauty products, as well as a huge variety of food vendors.

Mayor Sam Broughton will open the event at 10.15am

and the stalls will remain open until 3pm, so there is plenty

of time to drop in.

www.clearviewfete.nz

“Even though 2016 was

only our first attempt, we

were pleasantly surprised

how successful it was,” Mr

Rush says, “so this time we

know what to expect and

I think we can offer the

community an even better

experience.”

Mr Rush says that

previous success has instantly marked the Clearview Fete

as a major event on Selwyn’s social calendar.

“It will be hard to beat our first fete, but if the weather

plays its part, we are sure it will be another great day.”

Mr Rush thanked the dedicated group of volunteer

parents who had put in hundreds of hours to organise the

fete and added that the event would not have been possible

without the support of New World Rolleston.

The Clearview Fete is at 20 Broadlands Drive in

Rolleston on March 25, and entry is $5 for people over

12 years.

Thank you to all our

wonderful supporters!

Our People

Tara Marshall

Country girl teaches art of dance

Springfield’s Tara Marshall 32, helps young dancers in

Malvern achieve their full potential. She spoke to

Georgia O’Connor-Harding about being a Crusaders

cheerleader and opening her new studio in Darfield

How long have you been

dancing for?

I started when I was 11. That

is actually quite old to start

dancing. I grew up at Mt White

Station in the high country. I was

home-schooled there. In 1992,

we moved down to Springfield

and mum is still at the farm now

which is Kowai Bush. I went to

Springfield School and that is

where I met dance teacher Lisa

Yaxley. She was coming around

with flyers and looking to start

up dance. There wasn’t much

else on back then. I thought this

lady seemed nice and it sounded

like fun. It probably took me a

couple of years before I really

got into it. Then I knew I loved

it. I did dancing for many years

with Lisa and travelled overseas

competing.

Tell me about the new dance

studio you have opened in

Darfield for TM Dance World?

Opening the new studio in

Darfield is something I had

always dreamed of doing. It is

nice to have a really professional

space and to be in Darfield. We

were at the Kimberly Hall before

that. It was good to move into

the actual township. Is it is nice

to be able to have the bigger

space and join with the Malvern

Ballet, which is run by Frances

Scott. We have also joined with

Creative Spark, which is run

by Vicky Peacock. It was never

something we could do on our

own. Financially, we had to find

a way to make it work and bring

the studio into the township.

How long had you been

planning to open the studio

for?

It has been about two years

since I really started thinking I

am going to do this and how is

it going to work. It has been

in the last year we have gone

through getting all the plans,

council consents and the renovation

of the building took five

months.

Was it your idea?

Yes definitely. I didn’t realise

how hard it was going to be or

how big the mission would turn

into. We are open now, we got

there and we are loving our new

studio.

Tell me about the national

dance championships,

Hollywood Bound Dance

Cruise, your students have

coming up?

A couple of years ago, we

travelled to Showcase Australia.

That is run by Peter Oxford. My

competition girls are always up

for opportunities like that and

Peter Oxford brought out the

first ever dance competition on

a cruise ship. It is on the Royal

Caribbean Cruise Lines. It leaves

from Sydney and travels to New

Caledonia and Lifou. It travels

for seven days. I am taking nine

girls and they are my senior

students. They are going to do

four different team dances – contemporary,

jazz, a lyrical and a

Broadway. It is a dance competition

on a cruise ship. The cruise

starts on April 15 but most of us

leave a few days before that.

Growing up, what was it like

to be home-schooled?

I only did it until I was eight.

At the time, you didn’t know

any different. But looking back,

I think it was totally awesome.

Mum was a real good teacher,

we had our desk all set up in the

kitchen. What I remember of it,

it was really fun.

What do you think of the arts

in Malvern?

What we offer is super important

and quite exciting for people

living in this area. Dancing offers

a lot of opportunities to the

students through competition,

exams, end-of-year recitals and

travel. The Malvern Community

Arts Council has been really supportive

of our new venture and

has offered to sponsor a deserving

child a scholarship each year.

We have got the Kirwee Players,

Creative Sparks and the Malvern

School of Music here. There is a

good amount offered in dancing.

We are doing pretty good for a

little community.

Why is providing dance in

Malvern so important to you?

When I moved back from

overseas, I originally thought I

would go into Christchurch and

start up a dance school there.

But then I met my husband.

He is a big a part of being here.

After travelling the world you

realise you live in a pretty cool

place out here. Seeing a lot of the

world changes your outlook on

how nice it is to live in a small

community. I love being in

Springfield and love working in

Darfield. I am super glad we decided

to set up our business here.

With our new studios we had a

HUNTER

sponsorship proposal which was

really well supported. We have a

beautiful sponsored dance mural

fence painted by Vicky Peacock.

I think if you were in a bigger

city, you may not see that same

amount of support. Out here

people really get behind good

projects.

What was your biggest

achievement as a dancer and

teacher?

The nationals was the highest

achievement – being in

the finals. I also travelled to

the Showcase national dance

championship at Surfers Paradise

and did a lot of competing

around New Zealand. I did

quite a bit of work for Showbiz

Christchurch. I performed in

Jesus Christ Superstar and West

End to Broadway. I was a Paul

Kelly Motor Company dancer, a

Crusader cheerleader for three

years. Also, after I left high

school, I went up to Wellington

and did a diploma in performing

arts. Afterwards I completed a

certificate in personal training

at the New Zealand Institute of

Sport in Christchurch. When I

came and started the business

after being back from overseas I

was nominated for the Malvern

Young Achiever Award and I

won that award in 2012.

I understand Mayor Sam

Broughton has supported your

new studio and you went to

school together.

Yes, we went to school together.

Sam is a bit older than me

and I don’t know him that well.

Now that he is mayor I think it is

super awesome. Doing the whole

dance studio thing I caught up

with him for a coffee just to let

him know what I was doing and

to keep him in the loop. He was

awesome to chat to. I asked him

to come open the studio up. Even

though it was his lovely wife’s

birthday he was still there.

How have you managed to

stay in the dancing industry all

your life?

Firstly, I love it. I have always

had a passion for dance. That has

never really faded. That was the

decision-making behind doing

this new venture into Darfield.

I asked myself is this what you

want to be doing forever? And

I thought, yes, it is what I want

and love. I love what I do but also

I have an amazing supportive

husband. I think that is another

really big factor for dance teachers.

It is funny hours you work

and long hours. This year I

don’t get home until between

8.30-9.30pm after teaching. It

is a different kind of lifestyle.

My husband Scott was very

supportive and he was a massive

part of the renovations for the

studio. That in itself helped us

financially because he was able to

do the work in the building. For

five months he was just working

in the studio. He stopped working

on his own business he had

just started up.

SELWYN TIMES

Growing population calls for

intersection upgrades

Jones Road/Hoskyns Road

Work begins this week to install traffic lights at the Jones Road/Hoskyns Road intersection, in

Rolleston.

The upgrade will include traffic light installation, street lighting upgrades, storm water upgrades,

footpath installation and road resurfacing. Construction is expected to be completed by June.

Murray Washington, Selwyn District Council’s Asset Manager, says the jointly funded Council/

NZTA project will improve this key intersection and provide for much improved traffic management

in a rapidly developing area of Rolleston.

“Hoskyns Road is increasingly becoming the key strategic link between the Malvern area, State

Highway 1 and Rolleston, as well as serving the Jones Road Industrial area, Izone Southern

Business Hub, and the proposed IPort industrial park,” he says.

Road closures of Jones Road will be required periodically for the pavement construction to be

completed. Traffic management will be in place to minimise disruption to traffic.

The two bus stops on the eastern side of Jones Road may need to be closed at times. Temporary

bus stops will be available during these times. A 30 km/h speed limit will be in place around the

work site. Road users are asked to take care when driving through the site, follow on-site signage,

and be alert to changes in traffic management.

Construction will occur from 7am–6pm, Monday to Sunday, and overnight from 6pm–6am,

Sunday to Thursday. All works are subject to weather and on-site conditions.

Selwyn District Council has contracted Isaac Construction Ltd to carry out the upgrade. The total

project cost, including design, construction and other work, is approximately $1.3 million.

A map of the proposed new road layout is available at www.selwyn.govt.nz/roadingprojects.

Masefield Drive/Rolleston Drive

This intersection upgrade began in February. It includes traffic lights, cycle lanes and footpaths

(both separate and shared), as well as storm water work and road resurfacing started in February.

Since construction commenced, Fulton Hogan have removed existing traffic islands, trees,

completed 70% of the traffic light ducting, installed sumps, a soak pit and poured new kerb and

channel on the southern side of Masefield Drive.

On Saturday a streetlight pole was relocated, which will allow construction of temporary surfacing

of the southern side of the intersection. Traffic will then be shifted around so work can progress on

the northern side of the intersection.

By the end of March, Fulton Hogan are intending to complete all new kerb and channel, storm water

works, install all remaining ducting for the traffic lights and install the new traffic signal poles.

Pavement construction will follow, with the intersection to be fully completed by the end of May.

Council services during Easter weekend

Rubbish and recycling normally collected on Friday 30 March (Good Friday) will be collected on Saturday 31

March. Collection on Monday 2 April (Easter Monday) will occur as normal. Pines Resource Recovery Park is

closed Friday 30 March, but open from 10am–4pm on Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre is open from 8am–8pm daily from Friday 30 March to Monday 2 April, with

normal hours (6am–9pm) resuming on Tuesday 3 April.

Selwyn Libraries will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday, but open on Saturday 31 March

with normal opening hours.

Council’s Rolleston Headquarters, Rolleston Community Centre and Lincoln Event Centre will be closed

on Good Friday and Easter Monday, and reopen on Tuesday 3 April.

Consultation on 10-year plan

opens soon

Selwyn residents will get the chance to have their say on the

Council’s future plans next month.

The Council has adopted its Long-Term Plan Consultation

Document, Fast Forward ’28, for public consultation, which will be

open from 4 April until 4 May.

Fast Forward ’28 sets out the key projects and activities the Council

is planning, and how these will be funded. Average annual rate rises

of 4% are forecast over the next 10 years.

Mayor Sam Broughton says the Council is proposing substantial

investments in facilities and services to support the district’s current

population and continued growth.

“Selwyn is now the third-largest district in the South Island, and it’s

important we plan to ensure our infrastructure and facilities meet

our communities’ needs,” he says.

The plan outlines proposed new projects, as well as key

developments already scheduled – like the completion of the

Rolleston Town Centre as a focal point for the town and district.

Nine significant new proposals are open for consultation. These

include proposals for an indoor courts complex at Foster Park, an

extension to Selwyn Aquatic Centre, and a new district-wide rating

system for community centres, halls and reserves.

Mayor Broughton says the proposals in the plan represent a balance

between completing the projects that our communities need and

continue to ask for, and keeping rates affordable.

Copies of the consultation document, Fast Forward ’28, will be

available from Wednesday 4 April online at www.selwyn.govt.nz and

from local libraries.

Rolleston town centre plans

taking shape

Development of the new Rolleston town centre has taken a step

forward with the Council approving a plan outlining the broad

location of key elements.

The town centre is to be developed on what is currently part

of Rolleston Reserve, and includes four key components – the

new Rolleston Library and Community Centre, a town square,

a commercial and retail area including hospitality outlets, and

transportation and service linkages.

The recommended plan sees the library and community centre

located at the key corner of the reserve and Tennyson Street, with

direct pedestrian access to car parking in Moore Street.

Retail activity has a frontage along Tennyson Street, while food and

beverage has a frontage to the Wordsworth Street extension, and

along a proposed promenade through the reserve.

The town square, which provides a formal outdoor gathering space,

is located between the library and community centre and the

commercial areas. Space is also provided within the location plan

for a cinema complex, adjacent to the community centre.

Detailed design work is now under way for the key elements. The

first major project will be the new library and community centre – a

2,200m 2 facility which is planned to be opened in late 2019.

Proposed locations only (concept and details to be developed).

Lincoln Skate Park is nearly ready

The much-anticipated Lincoln Skate Park is very close to opening!

The completion date has been extended by about three weeks due to some of the skate park’s features

being changed to improve the park, but also to better suit beginner to intermediate level skaters and

scooter riders. This will be done with help from local skaters and skate park designers. Once the park is

open, the Council will keep speaking with local skaters and scooter riders to get their feedback on how

the park is operating.

The Council’s Community Projects and Facilities Manager, Cameron Warr, says this unfortunately

means the skate park will remain fenced off until the work is completed. “We understand that locals will

be disappointed by this and we apologise for the delay, however we’re committed to getting the park

right before we let anyone on it,” he says.

Leeston-Southbridge,

DEFENDING champions Sefton

and competition young guns

Cheviot will compete for country

cricket’s one-day crown after

dominant semi-final displays on

Saturday.

Top-qualifiers the Sefton Seals

romped to a seven-wicket win

over Leeston-Southbridge in

the country premier one-day

competition semi-final, while the

Cheviot Magpies soared to a 130-

run victory over Weedons.

At Sefton Domain, the home

side dominated from the moment

the challengers chose to bat.

Sharp catches by Brent Fleming

and Lance Taylor saw Leeston-

Southbridge immediately on the

back foot at 2/2.

The combined side battled hard

but the relentless Sefton attack,

led by Canterbury representative

seamer, Fraser Sheat, saw them

bundled out for 99 runs in just

42.1 overs.

Sefton opener Matt Laffey

attacked the chase, making 69

off 88 balls, in spite of losing two

early partners to an impressive

Dougal Munro.

Harley James continued his

good batting form with another

undefeated effort to guide Sefton

home and book a place in the

final.

In the other championship

semi-final at Weedons Domain,

Cheviot batsmen Will Hamilton

and Jack Harris bludgeoned

the home side’s attack to post a

commanding 244 first innings

total.

Hamilton batted serenely for

his 90 off 93 balls, while Harris

smashed six sixes and six fours in

his whirlwind 78 off 46 balls.

The Weedons run chase never

got going after paceman Harrison

Cox knocked off the top three

batsmen.

Simon Wilson watched wickets

fall around him and was stranded

on 51 not out as Weedons were all

out for 114 runs in the 29 th over.

In the plate semi-finals, Lincoln

beat Darfield-South Malvern by

three wickets in a low-scoring

encounter at Darfield Domain,

while Oxford-Rangiora beat

Southbrook by 63 runs.

ADMISSION

16 th ANNUAL

ART EXHIBITION 2018

Sat 24th & Sun 25th March, 10am-4pm | Rolleston Community Centre

Art with heart

Selwyn artists, some of whom have never exhibited

before, will have their work showcased at a two-day

exhibition in Rolleston this weekend.

The 16th annual Arts Heart exhibition is a celebration

of local artists, both young and old, and gives them

the opportunity to not only display their art forms,

but also sell them.

Arts Heart chairwoman Rails Mackey says

approximately 50 artists will be displaying everything

from sculpture, fine arts and photography to pottery,

mosaic, sewing and graphic art will all feature during

the exhibition which will be held at the Rolleston

Community Centre on Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th

March from 10am to 4pm. Entry to the exhibition is

$2 per person.

The exhibition is open to Selwyn artists and includes

pieces from well known names such as Mike Glover,

Henry Turner, Lyn and Gray Leonard, John Bromley,

Jennifer Stebbings, Ross Mackey and up and coming

new artists.

“It’s all about supporting our local artists and giving

them the opportunity to show their talents. We have

had queries from many different artists who have

never exhibited before so there will be all forms

of art featuring a wide variety of mediums.”

Arts Heart is an initiative of the Selwyn

Arts Council that encourages, promotes

and develops, arts and artists in the

Central Selwyn region. It holds regular

art workshops for all ages and all

levels of expertise. To find out more,

Springston set for

return to division one

• By Andrew King

SPRINGSTON WILL have a

rugby team in the top flight

for the first time in 17 years

as they look to rub shoulders

on Saturday with the big boys

in the Lussetti club combined

competition.

The division two side have

been dominant, winning the

Greg Hill Shield last year and

in 2015 after being beaten

finalists in 2014. With club

stalwart Anton Sutherland

taking the reins as head coach

this season, the call was made

to move up a grade.

Club captain Nigel Johnston

said they thought it was time

to have a go in the top division.

“They [the players, coach and

management] are all really

keen at having a crack at these

top sides. We have quite a

young squad with a mix of

older player but there is heaps

of enthusiasm,” he said.

The colts are also champions,

winning the Tony Lee Shield

PROGRESSION: Springston will field a

division one side this season.

PHOTO: NIGEL JOHNSTON

last year. In the past, some of

those players have moved on

due to the club not having a

division one side, president

Lance Field said.

The side will be captained by

open-side flanker Sam Lawn

and will get its campaign

under way against Kaiapoi

in Springston on Saturday at

2.45pm.

“Sam is a brilliant player,”

Johnston said. “He is small

but extremely fit and tough

and there is no better tackler

in the game. He captained the

division two team for the past

few years and always leads from

the front.”

The match coincides with

a junior club day so younger

players can meet their

teammates and the coaches

involved.

Two players in the Springston

backline worth a mention

include Connor Hamlin, a

utility who will play at fullback

and sometimes at first-five,

and midfield-machine

Michael Sheenan, a

big, strong, fast, ball

carrier who is lethal on

defence, Johnston said.

The side is looking

for more sponsorship,

Johnston said. Anyone

keen to help out should

call 027 777 2877.

Leeston Fete

Saturday, 10am

Presented by Ellesmere Business

and Promotions. Now in its

eighth year, the Leeston Fete is

going to be bigger, brighter and

better than previous years. This

year the committee is excited

to launch a new area called the

Secret Garden. The date for the

fete has been brought forward so

the day no longer clashes with

winter sports trials. A lot of stalls

from previous years are returning

and with the fete’s popularity

growing, it has already received

registrations from approximately

20 first-time stalls. The event

will again have the popular,

dedicated children’s area but you

will notice a few improvements

there as well. The entertainment

area has moved so people will

be able to relax on the grass area

under the shade of the trees.

With the main street closed to

is attending the New Zealand Secondary Schools

Futsal tournament in Wellington from the 21st to the

23rd of March.

The team will be up against 22 other secondary

training and learning how to get better at Futsal.

A new sport to some of the players.

Last year at this tournement the schools team finished

in 15th place – this is a target for this years team

to improve on, although they expect very tough

competition.

Thanks to Pip Mills and Mr Jack Goodfellow for

helping the team at the tournament.

The players and management are extremely grateful

for the assistance of all sponsors and supporters who

have supported them financially in their endeavours,

without their help, getting to the tournament would

The Lincoln High School Senior A Girls Volleyball team

will be attending the New Zealand Secondary Schools

volleyball tournament in Palmerston North from the

18th to the 24th of March .

The 2018 team is a mixed group of experienced

and young players who are extremely talented and

committed to their chosen sport. The girls have been

training consistently twice a week since the start of the

school year and have made some excellent progress in

both their ability and coming together as a tight team.

The team competes in the Canterbury Volleyball Monday

night competition and have recently represented Lincoln

High School at both the South Island and Canterbury

championships, in which they have shown some

impressive improvement as well as achieving some

pleasing results.

In Palmerston North Lincoln High School will be

competing with 128 other girls’ teams and will be looking

to continue the schools proud history of performing

well at New Zealand’s largest secondary schools

sporting event. For four of the girls (Janie Watkins,

Bridget Allan, Mackenzie Pringle and Petra Campbell)

this will be their last opportunity to participate at the

national tournament

and is something they

have been building and

training for over the past

5 years. For the other five

players (Morgan Davidson,

Jasmine Curtis, Ellen

Watts, Ella Jamieson and

Alli Kennedy), this will be

their first time representing Lincoln at the tournament

and no doubt will be a chance for them to learn what it

takes to compete with the best, whilst also striving to

send the older girls off on a positive and winning note.

Gardening

Grow some cool season treats in your

If you haven’t already ousted them from the

greenhouse, summer plants such as tomatoes,

capsicums and cucumbers will soon be ready for

the compost. When you do finally give them the

heave-ho, a whole new growing space presents

itself. So let’s go on a cool-season growing spree

says Diana Noonan

Mediterranean herbs

If there’s one thing that livens up

winter dishes, it’s fresh herbs.

While the dried variety will

do the trick, fresh flavour adds

pizzazz to root vegetables and

comfort foods such as pizza and

soup.

Some of the tastiest herbs

are those in the Mediterranean

category – the ones that prefer a

dry, hot climate. Coaxing them

into performing over the colder

months is almost impossible,

especially for the likes of

oregano, which is downright

deciduous in the coldest parts of

the country, so this is where the

greenhouse comes into its own.

The best part about growing

Mediterranean herbs indoors

is that even if your undercover

summer plants have experienced

disease, the soil they grew in

won’t bother these herbs.

There’s not even the need

to replenish spent soil as

Mediterranean herbs thrive

in poor ground. And if you’re

heading away on an autumn

or winter holiday, water can

wait – thyme, oregano, sage and

rosemary won’t thank

you for wet feet and will

happily wait (within reason)

for moisture until you return.

Once your greenhouse

summer plants have been

removed, gather up any dead

foliage from the ground, give

the greenhouse a good clean

down, inside and out, with a

window brush or water blaster,

and cut back any foliage that has

encroached over summer (this

will help let in as much light as

possible). Finally, loosen the

ground to help aerate it.

If you’ve potted-up herb

cuttings over spring and

summer, good for you. If not,

head to the garden centre for

potted fresh herbs and be sure

to buy several of each variety as

growth will not be as strong over

the colder months as it would be

if planting outdoors

in spring and summer. If you’re

KEEP DRY: Sage is no lover of wet conditions. Bring it in from

the rain and grow it in the dry warmth of the greenhouse over

the off-season.

in regions that experience mild

autumns and winters, you can

include basils in your purchases

but those of you living in colder

climes would be best to leave

these off the list.

Pop your little plants into the

soil closer to each other than

you would if planting into the

garden. Water the soil for the

first week after planting to help

roots establish, but hold back

on the moisture after that. Water

only when the ground to a

finger’s depth feels dry. Harvest

your herbs carefully, snipping

a few leaves off each and, while

you’re at it, revel in the fragrance

of the Mediterranean at a time

when the sun can seem very far

away.

When it comes time to prepare

the greenhouse for spring, your

indoor herb plants will be easy to

remove. Not having put on

a lot of root growth, they can

be lifted with a trowel and

popped straight into the garden

or, better still, placed in pretty

pots and grown-on ready to

give away as Christmas gifts.

Winter fragrance

Colour and fragrance lifts

the spirits like nothing else,

especially in winter. The natural

way to achieve this is to press

an otherwise empty greenhouse

into service so that you can fill

the house with inexpensive,

season-defying homegrown

bulbs that bloom in the coldest

months. Sheltered from wind

and rain and driving sleet,

greenhouse-grown bulbs lack

all the imperfections we find in

those grown outdoors and, better

still, you bring them into the

house only when they are about

to burst into flower.

greenhouse

Plant your greenhouse bulbs

a little earlier than you would

those grown in the garden.

Choose colourful pots as these,

too, will add colour to your

home in winter.

Avoid unglazed terracotta pots

where possible as these porous

containers allow the soil to dry

out too quickly. Some of the best

pots for greenhouse-grown bulbs

are those that have no holes in

the base but, instead, have a

raised, self-draining platform

built into the container. Using

these pots means you won’t have

to provide a drip tray when they

are eventually placed on the

window ledge.

Choose a quality bulb mix.

Homemade compost is an option

but, as it is not sterilised, you

may introduce disease into the

bulbs – something you don’t

want to do when you are aiming

for perfect blooms to bring

indoors. Maximise the space in

pots by planting bulbs in two

layers – the shoots of the under

layer of bulbs will find their own

way up to the light and once the

bulbs are in flower, the pot will

be brimming over with colour.

After planting, store the

containers of bulbs in a shady

spot, such as a garden shed

or underneath greenhouse

shelves. This helps the bulbs

form strong roots before they

begin putting their energy into

foliage. Once the green shoots

are 1–2cm high, move the pots

into the light and, if they have

been in a shed, transfer them to

the greenhouse. Taller plants,

such as daffodils and tulips, will

soon require staking. Use thin

supports for this as they can fit

easily down the side of the pots

(chopsticks are ideal). If foliage is

particularly lanky (as is often the

case with freesias) wind thread

(black is best as it is unobtrusive)

between the supports to help

hold up leaves.

As soon as buds show, it’s time

to bring your flowering bulbs

indoors to enjoy the pleasure

of watching them open. As the

plants are now in the heat of the

house, you will need to water

them more frequently – but

never allow the potting mix to

become wet.

Tend your treasures carefully

to keep them looking their

best: snip off yellowing leaves

and spent flowers and keep

a watchful eye out for overwintering

aphids, which may

suddenly spring into life in the

warmth of your home. If they do

make an appearance, treat them

with a spray of soapy water (1

teaspoon of hand soap dissolved

in a litre of hot water).

VERSATILE: (Clockwise from top left) – Rosemary detests wet feet and even mature bushes

can be lost over winter. Enjoy the fragrance of its pungent oils by growing a bush or two in the

greenhouse; Even though herbs are growing in the greenhouse, they won’t produce as they would

if outdoors over summer – so be sure to plant plenty; If you are not concerned with a second year

of flowering, bulbs can be grown in the greenhouse in very little soil; Create a pot brimming over

with colour by planting a double layer of bulbs; Once the bulbs are planted, keep them in a shady

spot until the shoots make an appearance – this encourages strong root development.

Custom Made

Garage Doors

Who knew that tucked into a quiet

corner of Weedons is more than 700m2

of factory manufacturing and supplying

superior quality garage doors throughout

New Zealand!

Custom Made Garage Doors is a family

business run by Mal Hurrell. He’s been in

the industry most of his life, branching out

on his own nearly 20 years ago. “There was a

gap in the market,” he says. “People wanted

more variety and architecturally designed

quality garage doors.” That’s exactly what he

and his company on Larcombs Road have

been delivering, and leading that market in

nationwide.

There are garage doors to suit all budgets,

from affordable sectionals, tilt, and roller

doors sold to order, all the way through

to high-end cedar and glass sectionals

that are custom made to fit perfectly with

the design of your house. Flush mounted

garage doors blend with the exterior

cladding, giving it a clean appearance.

Glass and acrylics come in a range of

colours and frames can be powder coated

to match or complement exteriors. Cedar

doors, a specialty at Custom Made Garage

Doors, are available in vertical or horizontal

panels, are constructed with

a steel frame and durable,

lightweight Western Red

Cedar. These are stylish

and with a wide range of

finishes, add a warm and

welcoming entrance to your

home.

Smartline Doors are the

creation of Mal and Custom

Made Garage Doors. They

fill a gap in the price range

between the low end and

the high end. They are fivepanel

doors that are either

flat, or can include negative detailing to

enhance the look of, or match, the design

of the exterior of the house. They too are

powder coated on both sides in any colour

in the Dulux range, and can be insulated.

The Smartline Doors are cornering the

market. Mal and his team manufacture

these, and all high-end garage doors, at

the factory in Weedons and deliver them

to builders, building companies, and even

other garage door retailers throughout

the whole country. Demand for them is so

SELWYN TIMES

ighting the way

The mornings are staying darker longer,

and the evenings are getting darker earlier.

Winter is on its way. And as much as we

would like the long, warm days to continue,

it’s going to come to an end. Therefore, it’s

a good time to check, and possibly update,

the things you will need most in the dark.

The lights – inside and out.

When it comes to external lighting, the

options are vast. Generally, that lone bulb

burning over the porch is, or perhaps

should be, a thing of the past. These days

we live much more of our lives outside,

even in the colder months, whether

entertaining friends with the BBQ, soaking

in the hot tub, or just relaxing on the deck

with a beverage, enjoying the pleasant

experience of your own landscape and

garden. Not only that, but as the nights get

longer, it also ensures your outdoor safety.

To take full advantage of these and

whatever else you do outside, you need

adequate lighting.

Landscape lighting, whether ambient

(general illumination of outside areas),

task (lighting to do specific things by,

such as reading or cooking), or accent

(adds drama to specific features such

as sculptures or plants, or textures such

as bricks or stones) literally turns the

darkness into a visual and/or functional

delight. Strip lighting, bollards and path

lights, surface mounted and recessed

lights strategically placed enhance outdoor

living. Some are easily installed,

others require the services of

qualified electricians. Many

companies are specialists in

outdoor lighting design and

installation.

LEDs are taking over.

They are more efficient and

environmentally friendly,

give off better light, and don’t

need to be changed every

few months. Their versatility

is only just beginning to

be appreciated. Replacing

traditional incandescent lights

with LEDs is relatively cheap.

For trends in indoor lighting, one only

needs to turn to the Internet to discover

that the only restriction

to what is possible is the

imagination. Personal

tastes vary widely but

according to those in

the know, the trends to

watch out for in 2018 are

in no particular order:

• hand-made and

geometric shaped

lamp shades

• pendant lighting

• chandeliers.

Retro is still definitely

hot, as are industrial styles. Apparently,

brushed, soft gold is the new black. Feature

lamps are popular, often more to add

interest to a room than to add light. Midcentury

modern and art deco are returning

to style. Vintage style

light bulbs are also

very popular, and their

namesake would be

delighted to hear they

are now also available

in LED.

Lighting is the

number one feature

that will create

and enhance the

atmosphere in your

home. Most is easily updated with décor

and seasonal changes.

Winter proof your home

Homeowners know there are always

little things that need to be done around

the house. With winter getting closer,

however, now is the best time to address

some of those little, and not so little things,

that maintain the value of your home,

make life more comfortable, and long term

prove to be cost effective, helpful to the

environment, and perhaps will even add

value to your house.

The benefits of a warm, dry house are

well documented, so consideration of

heating and insulation are always near the

top of any maintenance and improvement

check-list.

There are a number of options to both

heat your home, and to economise on and

maintain the heat that is generated. From

a few small things you can do,

such as make and use door snakes

to reduce drafts, and applying

foam strips and v-seals to doors

and windows, to installing more

efficient and, in the long run, more

economical heating systems such

as heat-pumps and modern log

or pellet fires. If

these are already

installed, now is

the best time

to have them

checked and

serviced to

make sure they

are working

properly and

efficiently. Make sure heat pump filters are

changed. Check chimneys are clean and

ready for the sustained use of fires. Check

also that the exterior unit of the heat pump

is clear of debris such as leaves, weeds and

other obstructions.

Insulation is an important factor in

maintaining a warm dry home. It reduces

dampness and mould and maintains

generated heat more efficiently. In addition

to insulating roof spaces and under wooden

floors – generally fairly easily done in most

houses – things such as thermal backed

curtains and double-glazed windows

dramatically improve the warmth and

dryness inside a home. Garage doors can

also be insulated.

Outside there are several things to

do as well.

Checking down

pipes, gutters

and plumbing

regularly,

especially this

time of year is

a good idea.

Gumleaf ’s

Gutter Guard

and similar products

are effective in keeping

gutters free of leaves and

other debris. It’s also a

good time to check for

leaks and fix broken tiles

and flashings.

Other jobs you might

want to consider outside are pruning back

trees and shrubs that are blocking sunlight;

clean decks and paths of moss and grime;

get the lawn-mower serviced and find a

dry sheltered space to park it.

The msd.govt.nz and energywise.govt.

nz websites have lots more information

for homeowners and renters to help make

the winter months warmer, drier, and

healthier.

Canterbury Lawns

Hydroseeding is the spray-on application of grass

seed in a mulch, in the case of Canterbury Lawns, of

wood fibre, fertiliser, and a tackifier, a kind of glue

that holds it all together. In usually four to six weeks,

a lush, green lawn is well established. It does depend

on the weather, the soil, and a

proper watering regime, says

Canterbury Lawns director

Kirk Macfarlane, but in most

cases the process is fairly

straight forward.

With over 10 years of

experience in ground

preparation and hydroseeding,

Kirk uses products of the

highest standard and follows it

up with comprehensive

aftercare information and

advice, and a guarantee of

his work.

Hydroseeding is the

most efficient, cost

effective method of

seeding, and, in Kirk’s

opinion, produces the best

quality lawn. For a decade

he’s been hydroseeding

residential properties –

both existing lawn areas

and new builds and has

produced consistently

high quality results.

A simple, but extremely important thing to

remember is, “no water equals no grass”. The success

of your lawn depends on watering the new grass

regularly and correctly.

In addition to the aftercare information, Kirk

recommends considering an automated irrigation

system. He works with Freeman Irrigation, specialists,

also based in Rolleston, who design and install

irrigation systems

optimal for a hydroseeded

lawn.

The initial costs

may increase, but are

mitigated over the long

term of owning your

home and maintaining

its value. An irrigation

system will care correctly

for your lawn, and use

less water than manual

watering and Kirk says,

“you can go away at

Christmas for three weeks and come home to

a healthy, green lawn, while your neighbour’s

lawn may have died off ”.

Ground preparation is another important

factor in the success of hydroseeding. While

Kirk will work on already prepared sites, it

is probably best to allow him to do it. From

site scraping to removal of weeds and other

impediments, to soil levelling and “fluffing” the

surface, he can guarantee the best environment

for hydroseeding. The long term benefits are,

again, obvious.

There is more information at www.canterburylawns.

co.nz and you can contact Kirk via the website or

calling him on 027 456 7779.

AUTUMN is here...

so its a great time to start

thinking about your new lawn.

AUTUMN

Optimum Planting Time

Now is the best time to plant.

Autumn is the best time of year to

do a number of things in your garden,

especially planting. With the still-warm

temperatures, but also the increased

moisture, planting now will give plants

and trees a healthy start before winter sets

in and the soil temperature drops. When

spring arrives, root systems will be well

established and ready to take advantage of

the warmer weather.

It’s a busy time of year

up in the garden, and to do that autumn

planting.

On the corner of Robinsons Rd and

SH1 near Templeton, it is already wellestablished

in its new, purpose-built

premises. It’s a larger space, with display

gardens, a fern house, and rows and rows

of beautiful native trees, shrubs, planter

boxes, landscaping plants and flowers. “It’s

just a nice place to

walk around,” says

Southern Woods’

marketing manager

Rico Mannall.

Southern Woods

is also a wealth of information on the

website – dozens of fact sheets, planting

tips and tricks, advice on eco-sourcing and

of course, the opportunity to purchase any

of Southern Woods’ plants and products

online. Plant categories are listed or the

search tool enables you to find the perfect

plant for your project. In the unlikely

event that Southern Woods doesn’t have

the plant you are looking for, they can

probably source it for you. With freighting

and delivery options, Southern Woods

truly is a one-stop shop for everything you

and your garden needs.

Autumn is also a good time to do some

trimming and tidying up in preparation for

the colder months. There’s a consultation

space where you can talk to the experts,

a great selection of planting tools and

accessories, compost and potting mix and

so much more. The 2018 catalogue will

New technology

enhances safety

at worksites

Fonterra and Beca

have partnered

to develop a

breakthrough virtual

reality health and

safety training

technology.

Fonterra and Beca have partnered to

develop a breakthrough virtual reality

health and safety training technology.

The cutting-edge solution lets employees

navigate the co-operative’s manufacturing

and distribution sites without the need to

set foot on site and will help substantially

reduce onboarding times.

The new technology will place Fonterra

at the forefront of global health and safety

innovation and is part of a business wide

commitment to become a world leader in

risk mitigation.

Fonterra director of health and safety,

resilience and risk Greg Lazzaro says VR

has the potential to be a game changer at

the co-operative.

“The opportunities for VR are significant.

With this solution, we can replicate the

physical environment of our sites, so staff

can undertake virtual health and safety

training in an extremely immersive and

realistic way. That means our people can

learn about and identify potential hazards

more quickly than ever, encouraging more

engaged employees and better workplace

safety.

Following a successful pilot, the new

VR technology will replace a significant

portion of the hands-on health and safety

training at Fonterra that is often costlier and

less effective. Training can be tailored to

each of Fonterra’s sites and tested through

the completion of modules. Andrew

Cowie, Project Manager for Beca, says

the technology is the future of health and

safety training and can be easily replicated

in other workplaces and training areas.

“Walmart now trains using VR, American

footballers are using it and so is the military.

Our clients are increasingly interested in

the application of VR technologies and

the value it can add to their businesses.

“In this case, using VR for training is ideal

as it is effective whilst being both cost

and time efficient. The reality capture for

these training tours is done easily with a

handheld camera and the VR simulation

works via a smart phone using a simple

cardboard headset,” says Mr Cowie.

Mr Lazzaro says while it’s a novelty

at first, using VR is ultimately a safer

learning environment and enables a

strong familiarsation of sites for Fonterra

employees.

“While our health and safety

performance continues to improve we

are always looking for ways to reduce

risk to our employees. Using VR means

our people can experience hazards in a

realistic simulated environment, enhancing

learning experiences, without being put in

harm’s way,” says Mr Lazzaro.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections

G.J. Gardner

in the Selwyn District

Meandering roads and green spaces characterise Wilfield,

a subdivision in West Melton. With the popularity of residential

properties situated West of Christchurch, and the progress being

made on the Southern motorway, many families are making

West Melton their home.

G.J. Gardner Homes’ show home in

Wilfield is at 14 Kingsdowne Drive. This

295m2 home is a great illustration of the

exceptional design and build quality G.J.

Gardner Homes is known for.

Sunny, bright open plan with defined

dining and family areas, made more

intimate with a boxed ceiling, these are

separated from the lounge by double

sliders that open for entertaining.

The kitchen has ample bench space, an

island sink, and a generous walk-in pantry

with scullery. A long low window offers

a view of the yard and there is access to

a sheltered deck, perfect for breakfast or

coffee.

A triple car garage includes the laundry

and a guest toilet with wash basin.

Four double bedrooms plus a study

nook make up the Northeast wing of this

expansive home. The master bedroom

has a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a

fully tiled ensuite and shower. The main

bathroom also features a tiled shower and

a bath. The family toilet also has its own

wash basin.

Outdoor living is catered for with a

large, hardwood deck at the front of the

house. A cedar-lined portico gives the

home both a strong presence and great

street appeal. Sliding doors from the living

area and the master bedroom give access

to the deck and look towards the snowcapped

Southern Alps.

Storage is a feature in this home. Full

height cupboards in the laundry and hall;

three of the four bedrooms have walk-in

wardrobes; and there is attic storage above

the garage.

This outstanding show home is an

excellent example of G.J. Gardner’s

craftsmanship and quality. It is a must

for viewing. It is at 14 Kingsdowne

Drive, West Melton, and is open

Wednesday to Sunday from 12 til 4pm.
