• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE PUBLIC gets its last chance
to see Prebbleton’s military
history on Wednesday.
The annual Anzac display in
the Prebbleton Hall has again
attracted many people since it
opened at the weekend.
On Monday Prebbleton

Carpenter (above) was getting
everything spick and span for
Anzac Day.
The display running in Prebbleton
for the past five years,
will come to an end on Wednesday.

Driver
seriously
hurt in
spectacular
crash
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A SUSPECTED drink driver who
was allegedly speeding and not
wearing a seat belt is lucky to be
alive after a spectacular crash on
Saturday.
The man, in his late 50s, hit a
power pole in Leeston, the vehicle
then crashed through a fence,
became airborne and landed in a
paddock where it overturned.
He was found outside the vehicle,
seriously injured.
“It was very lucky it wasn’t a
fatal,” Constable Herb Inwood
said yesterday.
The crash happened on Leeston
And Lake Rd at 6pm. The driver
was from Leeston.
Constable Herb Inwood said
there were three major contributing
factors to the crash, suspected
alcohol, speed and not wearing a
seat belt.
He was uncertain whether
the man had crawled out of the
vehicle after it had stopped or had
been thrown out.
Constable Inwood said the
man had driven around a gentle
right-hand bend when he drifted
left into the grass on the side of
the road. He then over-corrected,
shot across to the right, crossing
the centre-line and took out the
pole and fence before ending up
in the paddock.

No bond yet for plant
SELWYN TIMES
THAT’S ONE very lucky fellow on page
1 today; the suspected drink driver who
crashed in Leeston on Saturday.
Suspected I say because the results from
a blood test taken at the hospital are yet to
find their way into the hands of the police.
The three factors for tragedy were aligning though – alcohol
(to be confirmed), speed and not wearing a seat belt.
The vehicle hit a pole, went through a fence, got airborne and
rolled before coming to a stop.
The guy has serious head injuries, but as police say, he’s very
lucky he wasn’t killed.
But the luckiest bit was that he didn’t hit someone else.
If you’re going out, leave the car at home.

Call for 50m pool at aquatic centre
• By Emily O’Connell
A $12 million extension to the
Selwyn Aquatic Centre has
sparked debate on how long a
proposed pool should be.
The district council is proposing
to build a new 25m, eightlane
programme pool.
The centre currently has a
25m pool, hydrotherapy pool,
learn to swim pool and a leisure
pool with a lazy river and toddlers
area.
But some
people believe
the new pool,
which will cost
$9.3 million,
should be 50m
long.
“Go
Gary Doyle
the 50m.
Twenty-five
seems to be a
waste. Rolleston is the town of
the future. Only getting bigger
and bigger,” one person commented
on a Facebook post on
the Rolleston Community Page.
“Go for the 50. Let’s not be
asking this question again in
five years time,” another wrote.
“A 50m pool would be cheaper
to do than to do a 25m now and
then another in a few years time.
Population growth is central to
PLANS: Locals want the Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s proposed
expansion to include a 50m pool rather than another 25m
one. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Rolleston area, makes sense to
update facilities available to the
public,” another commented.
District councillor Mark
Alexander also commented on
the post inviting people to make
submissions on the proposal
and asking how much they were
willing to pay in rates “to have
projects extended.”
Weedons Residents’ Association
secretary Gary Doyle told
the Selwyn Times there have
been proposals to have a 50m
pool since he was a councillor
and they were first planning the
centre.
He believes the only two
councillors with “any swimming
experience” were excluded
from being on the committee.
Mr Doyle said having a longer
pool is “logical” but he has “no
faith” in the district council.
“The cost [of a 50m pool] of
course will be about three times
or more than what it would have
been if it had been done originally,”
he said.
The cost of the project will be
funded by borrowing, repaid by
an increase in the swimming
pools targeted rate from $124 to
$174 for Rolleston.
Rates for inner district will
increase from $87 to $122 and
outer district rates will increase
from $31 to $43.
The centre’s extension also
includes a $1.1 million cafe and
outdoor courtyard and $1.6 million
fitness and wellbeing space.
•To share your views on
the extension please make
a submission on the district
council’s long term plan http://

TOURISM FUND
The district council is compiling
a list of potential projects in the
Long Term Plan 2018-2028 it
could apply for funding under
the Government’s Tourism
Infrastructure Fund. A total of
$14.2 million will be granted to
councils around the country. So
far, projects the district council is
considering applying for funding
includes adding additional capacity
to the Dunsandel public toilets
and upgrading the existing shower
and toilet facilities and effluent
system at Kowai Pass. It is also
looking at upgrading the Arthur’s
Pass wastewater treatment site,
facilities at the Rakaia Gorge,
placing additional dump sites for
campervans across the district,
mountain-biking access and
cellphone coverage. The council is
expected to submit the projects for
consideration by Monday.
LEESTON ATM
On April 18, the Selwyn Times
reported that Leeston had lost
its Westpac ATM, but customers
could use the township’s BNZ and
Kiwibank ATMs without incurring
a fee. This was incorrect. Leeston is
now left with only the BNZ ATM
for Westpac customers to use.
The Kiwibank ATM was removed
several years ago. The Selwyn Times
apologises for the error.

BYLAW APPROVED
The district council adopted
the cemetery bylaw at its
public meeting last week.
The draft bylaw updates
the existing 2011 bylaw
and regulates the use and
management of council
cemeteries. A public hearing
was held in February with
two submissions received.
The bylaw is largely based
on the existing 2011 bylaw,
but includes some changes
to ensure legislative
compliance.
FOUR HURT IN CRASH
One person sustained
moderate injuries and three
people minor injuries after
a crash at the intersection of
West Coast Rd and Curve
Rd in Sheffield. The Sheffield
and Springfield volunteer
fire brigades, police and
ambulance were called out
to the incident on Thursday
at 12.57pm. Chief fire office
Neville Croy said a car was
“t-boned” by an oncoming
vehicle after it pulled out of
Curve Rd onto the West Coast
Rd. He said both vehicles were
damaged and had to be towed
away. A St John spokesman
said two people were
transported to Christchurch
Hospital.

A environmentally-beneficial
processing plant has been given
the green light to be built in
Burnham, in spite of a bond not
yet being secured.
The district council approved
leasing its land at Pines Recovery
Park to allow
company
Eneform Ltd
to construct a
pyrolysis plant
at its public
meeting last
week.
But the
figure for the
bond, expected
to be paid
by Eneform
Ltd, has not yet been finalised by
council staff.
The bond raised concerns
around the district council table
last week, in spite of councillors
being supportive of the project.
As a result, the district council
amended its motion to approve
the lease of land subject to an
appropriate bond being secured.
Other conditions included
appropriate regulatory consents
being contained and comprehensive
risk, health and safety
measures put in place.
The plant to be located at 183
Burnham School Rd, will use
pyrolysis technology to break
down tyres and plastic and
reduce ongoing environmental
issues related to end-of-life tyres.
The district council’s asset
manager Murray Washington
told Selwyn Times it is expected
the bond will be confirmed in
the next couple of months.
At the meeting, district councillor
John Morten said while he
supported the recommendation
he was looking for a bond or
guarantee in case something
“unforeseen” happened.
His views were supported
by fellow councillors Murray
Lemon, Craig Watson, Nicole
Reid and Jeff Bland.
Solid waste manager Andrew
Boyd said a bond has been written
into the draft lease agreement
but the amount has not
been specified.
“We would take advice of industry
experts around what that
figure would be estimated at to
cover ourselves,” he said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
District councillor Jeff Bland
said he preferred the district
council reconciled around the
table until the conditions were
“wrapped up” and had a bond

But Mayor Sam Broughton
said it is about trusting staff will
follow through with the conditions
required.
Said Cr Bland: “We have ultimate
responsibilities over this as
councillors. We are delegating
our responsibilities. The usual
process is that something is presented
to council and we accept
or decline it.”
Mr Broughton said the district
council has done due process
on the proposal and have gone
“very in-depth with it.”
Cr Bland said Eneform Ltd
should pay the bond or not get
the lease.
Said Mr Broughton: “I think
that is our motion. Without
that being met the whole thing
doesn’t happen.”
Construction of the plant is
planned to begin in the second
half of this year.

Water concern prompts meeting
over permanent chlorination
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PUBLIC meeting will be held
in Glentunnel to gauge concern
over the district council’s plans
to permanently chlorinate water
supplies in parts of Malvern.
Residents have been left
upset after the district council
confirmed it will chlorinate
the Sheffield-Waddington and
Malvern Hills Hartleys Rd water
supplies in July and August.
Townships
affected by the
chlorination
include Whitecliffs,
Glentunnel,
Coalgate,
Sheffield and
Kerry Pauling
Waddington.
Residents are
being encouraged
to make as many submissions
as possible to the district
council.
“We felt something has got to
be done about it . . . hopefully we
will get a lot of people,” said one
of the meeting’s organisers Brian
Thompson.
He said district council representatives
have been invited to
the meeting and he is hoping to
change its mind.
The district council’s water
services asset manager Murray
England told Selwyn Times last
week pipe breaks, backflow, illegal
connections and reservoir
failures in the supplies had led to
the chlorination.
The issue of chlorination was
also discussed at the Sheffield-
Waddington Community Committee
meeting on Thursday.
Malvern Community Board
deputy chairman Kerry Pauling
said everyone at the meeting was
told if they want to make their
feelings known to the council
they need to make a submission.
He said several good points
were raised at the meeting by
farmers who use the Malvern
Hills Hartleys Rd water supplies
to feed livestock.
“The stock don’t like chlorination
water and don’t drink
enough. They get dehydrated . . .
there is not an alternative source
to get water from,” Mr Pauling
said.
Another concern raised
was chlorination causing the
environment to become more
sterile which could lead to the
weakening of children’s immune
systems.
Mr Pauling said permanent
chlorination would not be popular
with 90 per cent of residents,
and a large contingent from
Sheffield is likely to travel to the
Glentunnel meeting.
But Sheffield volunteer chief
fire officer Neville Croy said it
was a done deal and the district
council will have made up their
minds.
“I don’t see any need for
chlorination. I don’t think it is
necessary,” he said.
Mr Thompson said a lot of
people were “seriously” concerned
about the chlorination
and no one he has spoken to is
in favour of chlorination.
He said if the district council
did not change its decision he
and his wife will consider buying
a well to get off the scheme.
Emergency team set up
• By Emily O’Connell
A TEAM has been set up to
respond to emergencies in the
district.
A report on the Civil Defence
emergency management update
was passed at the Selwyn District
Council meeting last week.
It included the creation of a
Selwyn response team – which
has 26 volunteers.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
the volunteers have completed
more than 1000 hours of training
since beginning January.
He said the training covered
a range of topics such as search
and rescue, sandbagging, communications,
first aid, food and
control.
“We never want to have to
use them . . . but we have got
local people committed and
trained and ready to respond on
Selwyn’s behalf,” Mr Broughton
said.
The team expects to achieve
basic operational capability
within the next month.
The report said a major South
Island response team exercise is
coming up at the end of May and
will mostly be based in Selwyn.
The Selwyn team will participate
in the exercise.
“Thank you council for supporting
that and I think our

Fire rages, homes at risk
community will certainly benefit
in the next emergency,” Mr
Broughton said.
The report also touched on
other emergency updates such
as the finalisation of a tsunami
plan, alpine fault planning activities
and the rollout of a new
public education package for
schools.
The district council also plans
to create a volunteer welfare
team consisting of about 20
people who can run and staff a
welfare centre during long duration
events.

Riders to pay Anzac tribute
TWENTY- FIVE horses
and riders from The New
Zealand Mounted Rifles
Trust will attend one
the district’s Anzac Day
services.
The service will be held
at the Greendale Memorial
Gates commemorating the
last year of World War 1.
Greendale Anzac Day
organiser Ian Warren said
the service has particular
significance for Selwyn as
it was from its rural areas
that both soldiers and
horses came to make up
the Canterbury Mounted
Rifles Regiment.
Thirteen of the soldiers
from Greendale were in
the Canterbury Yeomanry
Cavalry which became
part of the Canterbury
Mounted Rifles Regiment.
In turn, it became part of
the New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Brigade which
fought at Gallipoli and the
Middle East.
The trust’s horses will
ride down Mills Rd to
Warrens Rd, then to
Coaltrack Rd and along
Bridge Rd to Greendale Rd.
If time is short or the
day is wet the horses will
take the shorter route from
Mills Rd along Greendale
Rd to the domain.
The service will be held
at 2.30pm at the Greendale
Memorial Gates, Greendale
Domain, Greendale

Paige Sullivan
Youth council leader linking
Rolleston’s Paige Sullivan, 17, is chairwoman of the Selwyn Youth Council. The
Lincoln High School student speaks to Georgia O’Connor-Harding about
the council’s current public bus service trial, her love of speedway and
a project she is working on to address the social stigma experienced
by former prisoners
Why did you decide to take
on the role of chairwoman?
I was deputy chairwoman
last year so I think the whole
experience of that leadership and
watching former chairwoman
Ella McClure do such a good
job is really something I was
inspired to step up into. I am
really passionate about the youth
council and Selwyn. I thought
it was an opportunity for me to
learn a lot of stuff and help out
Selwyn as much as I could.
How are you finding the job
at the moment?
I am loving it. It has been so
great. To be honest I think my
favourite part is seeing our new
deputy chairwoman Katelyn
Twiss step up. It has been really
exciting for me. I mentored her
in 2016 on a leadership camp.
It was exciting for me to help
build her up and see her step into
that role. I think as chairperson
it has been awesome to guide
everyone and help them out and
bring opportunities to them.
Recently the youth council
attended ACTIVATE, which is
the South Island Youth Connect
2018 event. I am on the Youth
Voice Canterbury management
team as well, so I was part of
the organising team. It was
really awesome to bring them
along and expose them to the
networking and workshops.
It was awesome to see them
mingling around and getting to
know youth councillors from all
over the South Island.
How is the Selwyn Link bus
service trial going?
Very well. I heard from one
of the girls on the youth council
the bus was so full we ended up
having to turn down a couple
of people, which is absolutely
insane. At the end, we will
take all that data and take it to
Environment Canterbury.
What are some other major
projects in Selwyn you are
working on?
The next big thing coming up
is Teen Fest. We haven’t really
fully gotten into that yet because
we have been focusing so much
on Selwyn Link. But basically
what it is looking like is a week
full of activities for teenagers.
It is like KidsFest but
for older kids. It is
going to be full
of workshops
and fun
activities
and just
teaching
teenagers
a lot of
skills. I am
thinking this
year the youth
council will be getting
more involved in writing
submissions to the district
council and Parliament – we
will see if any bills come up we
are passionate about.
What would you change
about Selwyn?
It would probably stem
from Selwyn Link, so having
a permanent bus service for
isolated young people. I think
that is really important. I think
it would probably increase that
connectedness. We had a ‘What
do YOUth think?’ to get feedback
on the Rolleston Library.
We consulted youth about what
they would like to see, what they
think would be important in
the library. We got heaps of cool
ideas from that.
Was there any key feedback
from that?
A lot of it was to do with having
charging points for electric
devices. That is what they all
seem to have a consensus on,
HELPING OUT: Paige Sullivan waiting next to one of the bus shelters where the Selwyn Link bus
stops.

saying ‘we want charging points
everywhere’.
What are the other members
of the youth council like? Do
you have a lot of interesting
debates?
Definitely. The youth council
is an awesome team. Every single
youth councillor has that voice
to speak out if they don’t agree
with something at a meeting.
We always end up not so much
debating, but everyone shares
their opinion, which is really
awesome.
Do you have any childhood
memories that inspired you to
get involved with helping others
in the community?
It probably would have been
my mum and dad. We moved
out to Rolleston when I was
about 10. They joined the
Lincoln Rotary Club. I used to
go along with them to all their
volunteering and that is what
inspired me to find the youth
council and do something of my
own.
Tell me about the Zonta
competition you are involved
in?
That is through the Zonta
young women and public affairs
award and we had to put
in an application. You had to
be interviewed if you got shortlisted.
But I ended up winning
the Christchurch south young
women in public affairs award.
That was a $500 scholarship and
through that they put your application
up to the national channel.
That is still being decided
but they pick one person from
New Zealand and then, through
that, one person goes into the
international competition. Then
I think they pick 10 winners for
the international competition. I
had to fill out a big application
and you had talk about your
view on women leaders. I had
to talk about all the things I had
done – my views and stuff like
that. They will pick the person
they think deserves it.

communities together
What are your views around
women and leadership?
I do think we still have a long
way to go. I always had the view
the empowerment of women
needs to start in our local community.
I think once we can
master empowering them at this
level then it will start to branch
up. I think, through the youth
council, we have had a lot of
empowerment for women. Especially
myself being a woman as
the chairperson is really exciting.
What other achievements
have you had?
I was recently appointed onto
the Ministry of Youth Development
partnership fund. My
induction is next week. I get
flown up to Auckland. It is really
exciting. It will be my first time
being on a board, not as a youth
representative – just as a board
member. That is really exciting.
I will be advocating for young
people.
What are your favourite
subjects at school?
Probably accounting, business
studies and economics are my
favourite.
Are there any cool projects
you are working on at the
moment?
We are just starting our first
business. Last year we did a
business of selling bacon and egg
muffins at school, but this year
we have decided to do something
with a bigger social impact.
We are creating a book. We are
considering partnering with the
New Zealand Howard League for
Penal Reform. They advocate for
prisoners’ rights. We are going
to be making a book that has got
stories of ex-prisoners who have
turned their lives around after
prison. We want to get rid of that
social stigma. The organisation
we are potentially partnering
with will have all the stories for
us which is really cool. We had
a meeting with them a couple
of weeks ago and they were
excited to get on board. I think
its head office is just based in
Christchurch.
JUMP: Selwyn Youth Council member Maisie Wood, deputy chairwoman Katelyn Twiss, chairwoman Paige Sullivan and member
Gabriel Clarke went zip-lining last year.
How did you come up with
this idea?
We were kind of sitting around
in a circle and we were thinking
of something we could do. We
first started off with an idea of
a book – originally one with
stories of people in retirement
homes but then we thought
everyone has kind of done that
anyway. We were trying to do
something like the Humans of
New York Facebook page. Then
our teacher said to us ‘hey, what
about this?’ And we all just
clicked onto the idea of stories of
ex-prisoners and were like ‘awesome
let’s do that’.
What are you hoping to do
when you leave school?
I want to go to Canterbury
University next year and do a
double degree in law and commerce.
I would like to work as
a lawyer for youth law. I would
love to run my own business one
day. I just haven’t had a really
good idea yet.
Is there anything about you
that others would be surprised
to learn?
It would probably be that I
love speedway, People wouldn’t
expect that. I worked over the
season as a ticket-seller at Woodford
Glen Speedway.
Why do you like it?
I don’t know, I just always
have. I think it is really exciting.
It is quite fast-paced. I find it
easier than other sports to keep
up with the rules and what is
going on.
Do you have a favourite
sports star?
Definitely New Zealand stockcar
driver Asher Rees.
Would you take part in the
sport yourself?
I did for a while. I don’t think
it really fits my lifestyle. We don’t
really have the room at home
and mum and dad aren’t into it
and I wouldn’t really have anyone
to help me with it. It is more
of an on-the-side hobby I like to
go and watch.
Do you have any other
hobbies you enjoy?
Probably just playing sport.
I played netball for quite a few
years and I am starting rugby
this year as well. I have always
wanted to, but I was always too
scared too play. I was talking to
Katelyn who plays rugby. She
said ‘give it a go’ and I was like
‘you know what, I will’.

Street names ruffle feathers
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A NEW subdivision featuring
bird-themed street names has
taken flight in Rolleston.
Squawk St, Feather Place,
Claw Place and Pallid Green are
some of the quirky bird names
to feature at the new Falcon’s
Landing subdivision, located off
Lincoln-Rolleston Rd.
The subdivision’s 35 new
roads and four private right of
ways names were presented to
the district council for the final
rubber-stamp last week.
But the names were not
approved without ruffling a
few feathers around the district
council table.
District councillor Jeff Bland
said: “Do we really want a
Squawk St.’’
Mayor Sam Broughton said the
names come down to personal
preference with the developers
and the “wriggle room” the
district council thinks it might
have, doesn’t often exist.
He said the alternative names
provided “Migratory” and
“Territory” weren’t much better.
The district council’s
asset manager Murray
Washington said he has a
“good laugh” sometimes when
he sees these names come
through.
He said the names can be sent
SQUABBLE: A new subdivision in Rolleston featuring
bird-themed street names was a topic of discussion around
the district council table last week. Inset: Sam Broughton
back to the developers for further
consideration.
Mr Broughton told Cr Bland if
he wanted Squawk St changed he
needed to give a reason why.
Cr Bland responded: “Let’s put
it this way, would you like to live
in as street called Squawk St?
Honestly.”
Mr Broughton said it
depended on what sort of house
he was moving into and did
not think the street name was
important.
But Cr Bland retorted: “If they
can’t do better than that, I am
surprised they have managed to
subdivide that large area of land.
Let’s not let themselves down at
the last post.”
Cr Murray Lemon said since
everyone else was having their
“two cents worth,” he said
unless it was going to cause
danger because it confused
emergency services or was
offensive, he didn’t have a
problem with it.
“If they want to call it Squawk
St and try sell some sections on
it and find it difficult that is their
business,” he said.
District councillor Nicole Reid
also raised her concerns the
proposed name Barbary St was
too similar to Bradbury Ave in
Rolleston.
The road names were passed
with Cr Bland and Cr Reid’s vote
recorded against the decision.

display
•From page 1
Organiser Daphne McAven
said the display was opened in
2014 because the Department of
Internal Affairs asked all history
groups across the country to
commemorate 100 years of
World War 1.
“It is the fifth, and it will be the
final one, because the armistice
was signed in 1918,” she said.
The display, taking over the
whole Prebbleton Hall, opened
on Saturday.
It had 200 people through
over the weekend and about 50
people on Monday, including
Mayor Sam Broughton.
It is made up of large
collections of weapons,
uniforms, hats, water bottles,
medical equipment, compasses
and stories of Prebbleton soldiers
who served in both World Wars.
Mrs McAven said even
whistles blown at Gallipoli
are on display. She said the
displays are a lot of work to set
up and the group is fortunate
to have collectors around the
community who trust them to
display their precious items.
The display is open from 10am
until 4pm on Wednesday.

Notices
Police and Council focus
on road safety
Mayor Sam Broughton, Councillor Nicole Reid and Inspector Peter Cooper at the Shands/Springs Road intersection.
Selwyn District Council and Police are concerned about crashes and fatalities on Selwyn’s roads
and are working together to reduce risk for road users.
Councillor Nicole Reid, Chair of the Road Safety Committee, says road crashes impose a massive
and unacceptable burden of death, pain and suffering on Selwyn communities. Research shows
that every road death affects a huge network of people, not just the victim’s direct family and
friends, while Victim Support provides assistance to an average of eight people per crash victim.
“As a district we have been working towards our district vision of ‘zero deaths and serious injuries
on Selwyn roads’ for some time, and we are serious about working towards that vision,” she says.
“We support the new Government’s stance on road safety championing Vision Zero which is
a proven strategy to reduce the number of road deaths and serious injuries and is used in a
growing number of countries and cities around the world. It aims to change how governments,
stakeholders and the population approach road safety. A core message is there are no
‘accidents’, but crashes where the cause is preventable.”
“The term road toll implies that a cost must be paid to use the roads, but people don’t have to die
to use the roads and we shouldn’t accept it as an inevitability.”
The Council’s road safety strategy involves a partnership with NZ Police and other key partners, to
reduce crashes and improve road safety. This is done through a long-term, coordinated framework
of safety initiatives aimed at educating road users about risks and consequences associated with
driving, walking and cycling on the roads, to make better decisions about their behaviour.
In recent months the Council and other agencies have collaborated on campaigns including
intersection safety, fatigue, school crossings, drink driving, speed around school buses, and
motorcycle safety. Activities coming up include a winter driving campaign, and continuing work
with primary schools around active transport.
Inspector Peter Cooper says Police are primarily focusing on seatbelts, alcohol, cell phones and
speed as main risk factors to road safety.
“A high proportion of crashes are happening at rural intersections,” says Inspector Cooper. With
over 2000 intersections in the district, Selwyn is one of the highest risk districts for intersection
crashes in New Zealand. We see both tourists and locals who are familiar with the local roads
being killed in these crashes.
“So far in 2018 there has been a significant increase in motorcyclist fatalities, with 16
motorcyclists killed nationally.
“We advise road users to treat every intersection with care. Stop means stop. The emotional toll
on our families, the community and the emergency services attending these crashes, has to stop.
“Safety on our roads is everyone’s responsibility and must be taken seriously. Saving lives starts
with each of us and the decisions we make behind the wheel.
“The majority of fatal and serious crashes are human error. Leave the alcohol alone, put on your
seatbelt, put down your phone, lift your foot off the accelerator, concentrate at the intersection
and we can all arrive home safely.”
Library survey aimed at better services
Selwyn District Libraries are seeking input from the community to improve their services.
The 2018 Library Survey will take place from 23 April–5 May and aims to gather feedback about the
services, resources and programmes offered by the libraries. The main aim of the project is to review
core and holiday programmes, as well as evaluate customer feedback gathered during the year.
Current library members as well as non-members are encouraged to participate in the survey to provide
data for planning and development for future years.
The survey is designed to take only a few minutes to complete, and asks users a range of questions,
such as which services and programmes respondents are aware of and have used, as well as where
improvements could be suggested.
The online survey can be accessed at the libraries’ website (www.selwynlibraries.co.nz). It is also
available to be completed at the Rolleston, Leeston, Lincoln or Darfield libraries using in-house iPads.
Printed copies are also available at the libraries, including the Mobile Library.
The Selwyn District Libraries undertake a survey every two years. Information is gathered by external
research company Resona. All survey responses are anonymous and confidential.
Feedback sought on Draft
Walking and Cycling Strategy
Do you support adding more walkways and cycleways to connect
townships across Selwyn?
As part of the Long-Term Plan 2018-2028 the Council is seeking
community views on the Draft Walking and Cycling Strategy and
Action Plan for Selwyn.
The Draft Strategy is an update to the current Strategy adopted in
2009. It aims to improve walk/cycle networks within and between
townships, and proposes increased funding for annual township
footpath extensions and for major cycleway projects.
A total of seven major new cycleways are proposed over the 10-
year period, including:
· Doyleston to Leeston 2018/19 $895,000
· Rolleston to Templeton 2020/21 $418,000
· Darfield to Kirwee 2022/23 $1,094,000
· Jones Road 2023/24 $840,000
· Templeton to Prebbleton 2024/25 $588,000
· West Melton to Rolleston 2026/27 $908,000
· Springston to Rolleston 2027/28 $622,000
The cost of this proposed programme is $5.5 million, with projects
partly funded by NZTA subsidy, along with rates and development
contributions. The impact on the rates payable by a $600,000
property is around $4 per year once the work is complete.
We want to hear your views on the Strategy. To find out more about
this issue, and other proposals in our Long-Term Plan – and to share
your views – visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/fastforward28.
ON THE
ROADS
Masefield Drive/Rolleston Drive
On the roads this week
Stabilised seal repairs will be occurring on Harts

Last week Isaac Construction continued with storm water works,
which included sumps, basins and soak pits. They also excavated
for seal widening and prepared the new kerb and channel in the
north east corner of the intersection. By the end of the week they
intend to have all of the storm water works complete, all new kerb
and channel poured and new footpaths completed. They will then
start the pavement construction works from Monday 30 April, which
will be completed under road closures, closing a single leg of the
intersection at a time in order to maintain short length detour routes.

Tai Tapu households will soon be installed with water meters. Tai Tapu is the latest township to
receive meters as part of a district-wide process.
Installation of water meters at households connected to these supplies will begin on Monday 30 April,
and is scheduled to be completed by June.
Around 90% of Council supply households across the district are already on meters. Metering has been
shown to reduce water consumption as it links water use to charging – so households that use less
water benefit from lower charges, while those using more pay higher charges. Households with average
water use will find their total charge remains similar to what they currently pay.
You can help avoid incurring extra charges by monitoring your water use – see www.selwyn.govt.nz/
watermetering for more information and tips on how to read your water meter.

LYNDSAY DICK continues
to give back to the sport she
was first introduced to as a
five-year-old.
The Ellesmere Tennis Sub-
Association competitions
committee member was
named senior volunteer of the
year at the Tennis Canterbury
awards.
She received the award for
her role as administrator of
Tennis Canterbury’s seniors’
group, which consists of more
than 200 players over the age
IRWELL CLUB tennis player
Diego Quispe-Kim is a
motivated 12-year-old.
Diego has been named
Tennis Canterbury male junior
of 35. While the role sees Ms
Dick (above) in the city more,
she remains loyal to
her country roots.
“It’s great for people
to see tennis as a game
that can be played at
any age and that there
are opportunities in
the sport.”
Ms Dick started
playing tennis 55 years
ago as a five-year-old.
“It was a family
sport that we all played on the
weekend and I learned the
game by hitting the ball up
the game close.
The lead changed three
times in the last 10min.
Lincoln had held the shield
for 11 seasons until Southbridge
beat them to take it last
year.
The result was the perfect
way for Southbridge prop
Jimmy Harvey to celebrate his
150th game.
Southbridge coach Doug
Maginness said his team initially
ran the visitors off their
feet before poor ball-handling
and ill-discipline cost them
their advantage.
“We played an up-tempo
style which worked for us but
we let ourselves down with
not treasuring the ball like we
should have,” he said.
Maginness praised No 8 Jale
Masi for his strength with the
ball in hand.
“On both sides of the ball
player of the year.
Fresh off his national 12s
singles victory at Wilding Park
in January, he is eager to add
the 14s, 16s and 18s titles in the
coming years.
Diego trains with his father,
Juan Quispe-Kim, 20 hours a
week and models his forehand
and serve off world No 1,
Spaniard Rafa Nadal.
“I try to keep my serve and
forehand as consistent as
possible,” he said. “I want to
win all the age-group national
titles in the coming years.”
against our garage door.”
She has been a regular on
the Christchurch
inter-club scene
since 1978.
She has spent most
of her time between
division one and
premier and has
returned in recent
years to the club she
first started with,
Hagley Park.
“I plan on retiring
from the higher level of tennis
soon, but I’ll continue playing
tennis at other levels,” she
he was fantastic,” Maginness
said.
He also praised reserve
halfback Mitchell Prendergast,
who was not a regular senior A
halfback but managed to play
75min off the bench due to a
serious achilles injury to Luke
Palmer.
Lincoln coach Matt Lowe
said his team struggled to cope
with Southbridge’s width in
attack early.
Irwell 12-year-old named
Tennis Canty player of the year
FUTURE CHAMP: Diego
Quispe-Kim looks to have
a bright future in tennis.
Diego had an unlikely first
encounter with the sport.
He was three-years-old and
kicking a soccer ball with
his dad at a park next to the
Burnside Tennis Club. “We
were invited over by a family
friend and it turned out I
showed more talent with
a tennis racket than I did
kicking the soccer ball,” he
said.
Diego said he embraces
training hard and likes the
court-coverage style of play
which Nadal is known for.

said. “You never give up.”
Her passion for promoting
rural tennis led her to become
a member off the Tennis
Canterbury board.
“It’s always nice to receive
such an award because
you don’t do it for the
recognition,” she said.
Ms Dick says the
Canterbury seniors’ season
is busiest during the winter
months.
As well as tennis, Ms Dick is
also a keen badminton player
but she says tennis holds a
special place with her.

But he said the team did well
to claw their way back into the
contest.
“We missed a few tackles
which led to some 40m tries, and
our cover defence wasn’t as good
as it should have been,” Lowe
said.
Lincoln chose to take the game
to Southbridge in the forwards
which paid dividends.
“We found holes around
the ruck and made the most
of them,” Matt said. Blindside
flanker Vaughan Thomson and
hooker Sam Cottam had high
work rates throughout.
There will be two rounds of
action this week, with an Anzac
Day round to be played midweek.

then get it under way. Add in
plenty of compost to the existing
soil and blood and bone as a base
fertiliser. To stop winter veges
from getting water logged, ensure
you slightly raise the area you are
planting in so water can drain
easily.
•By planting winter vegetables
now, they will have enough time
to become well established before
the onset of the cold, wet, winter
weather. You can sow your own
seeds into seed trays indoors or
directly into the garden, depending
on the vegetable. Veges to
plant in April include broad
beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots,
cauliflower, lettuce (all types), onions,
peas, radish, spinach, swedes
and turnips. Always stagger your
plantings (every two to three
weeks) so that all of your vegetables
do not mature at the same
time and instead provide crops
throughout the season. If space
is an issue, many varieties can be
grown in pots or containers – just
be sure to use good quality potting
mix.
Flower garden
•Summer displays are almost
finished, so keep dead-heading
those blooms you wish to prolong.
Winter flowering annuals
brighten up even the dreariest of
winters. Start planting out now,
but ensure you prepare the soil
well beforehand, as per above.
Winter annuals include alyssum,
aquilegia, calendulas, cineraria,
cornflowers, lobelia, nemesia,
pansy, lupins (South Island) snapdragons,
status, stock, sweet peas,
sweet william and violas.
Bulbs
•Although main bulb planting
months are usually February and
March, it is still possible to plant
in early April, especially as garden
centres often have great deals to
clear stock. Bulbs grow best in
an open, sunny position in well
drained, fertile soil. Add compost
to lighten ‘heavy’ soil if this is an
issue. Plant bulbs in clusters for
a more pronounced flowering
effect. Remember to label where
you plant your new bulbs so that
you do not forget and accidentally
dig them up.
Roses
•The autumn display of many
roses can be quite spectacular
after the hot dry months of
summer. If you provide a little
TLC, some varieties like iceberg
will continue flowering through
till July in warmer areas of the
country. Remove any dead flowers
and fallen leaves as they will
no doubt contain black spot and
rust. Apply compost and a light
dressing of rose fertiliser around
your rose bushes to improve the
organic matter in the soil and
help suppress weeds which tend
to almost pop up overnight this
time of year.
Lovely lawns
•April is a safe month for
sowing a new lawn or renovating/repairing
an existing one.
For new lawns, success relies on
thorough preparation. If bringing
new topsoil on to your property,
make sure it is good quality as
new weeds can be brought in with
imported topsoil. Ensure you new
lawn is well drained, considering
wet winter months. Check you
have the correct grass variety for
your site and if you are unsure,
talk to local experts at your garden
centre for advice. Sow seed
evenly and be prepared to oversow
in a few weeks’ time where
the germination of the grass seed
has been patchy.
•With existing lawns, apply
fertiliser now and water it thoroughly
after application. Mow
regularly to help develop a strong
thatch.

Winners “Over the Moon”
Chris and Lisa Burrowes could not have been more
deserving winners after being caught up in the collapse
of a major building company during their new home build
last year. “We have had to basically start again, and we
were not in a position to take a holiday although we really
wanted one. This could not have come at a better time,
said Chris”
We had an overwhelming response to the free trip to
celebrate the opening of our new premises said Jason.
We would like to thank all those customers who came and
supported our local business and wish Chris and Lisa and
their children all the best on their Gold Coast holiday.

Winter driving -
slow down
Driving a safe, well maintained car is
always in everyone’s best interest. With
so much talk about the road death toll
lately, doing everything you can to avoid
becoming one of those statistics just seems
to be common sense, even more so as
driving conditions are set to deteriorate.
There are a number of things you should
do to prepare your car for driving during
the colder months and inevitable rain, ice,
and snow.
Tyres are always important, and should
have adequate tread. The minimum legal
tread-depth is 1.5mm, but the deeper
the tread the better the grip and the safer
driving will be. Most tyres now have treaddepth
indicators moulded into the tread,
which makes it easy to recognise when
tread is at the minimum. Make sure the
tyre pressure is correct. Check your car’s
manual, or consult an expert. Don’t forget
about the spare.
If your battery is not up to scratch, you
won’t be going anywhere. Make sure the
terminals and cables are free of corrosion.
Battery checks are fairly simple at most
service providers. It can be beneficial to
carry jumper cables, but be aware that
you may not be able to use them on many
newer cars.
Specialists in Collision Repairs
From small dings to major repairs
Windscreen wipers are important when
it’s raining or snowing. They should clear
the screen, not just smear water around, in
which case the blades should be replaced.
SELWYN TIMES
There are a number of
things you should do
to prepare your car for
driving during the colder
months and inevitable
rain, ice, and snow.
Check the washer fluid level, and carry a
bottle of water in the boot.
Headlights, indicators and brake lights
should be checked and cleaned regularly.
Driving in the longer dark hours and in
stormy weather makes them even more
important. Check the bulbs are working,
replace broken ones, and clean all the light
covers.
There are many different anti-freeze
options, and it pays to make sure the fluid
mixture in the radiator is correct and the
level is topped up.
If your car has not had one in a while, a
full service is advisable. A WOF checks a
car’s roadworthiness, but it may not reveal
the wear on many parts that a full service
will. Even minor defects can be aggravated
by winter conditions. It’s annoying to break
down at the best of times; breaking down in
the pouring rain, or in snow, is doubly so.
If you are travelling long distances this
winter, it is advisable to carry an emergency
kit. Basic first aid products, extra blankets,
a torch and spare batteries, bottled water
and some non-perishable food items, a
waterproof jacket and warm hat, and a
knife or multi-tool. If you are stuck or lost
in bad weather, it is not an exaggeration to
say this kit could save your life.
Remember to drive to the conditions.
In winter weather, increase following
distances, brake earlier, and, especially
around corners, slow down.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
Local panel beaters -
for all insurance claims
For over 30 years, Holland Collision
Centre has been panel beating and painting
all manner of vehicles in Selwyn and the
Christchurch area.
Almost everyone will need a panel beater
a few times or more, and, especially as the
weather gets colder, wetter, and conditions
more slippery at this time of year, it is
reassuring to have a highly qualified and
experienced service so close to home. The
team at Holland is exactly that.
The panel beaters at Holland Collision
Centre have I-CAR welding certificates.
I-CAR is an industry training organisation
comprising inter-industry representatives
from the collision repair, insurance, vehicle
manufacturing, tool supply, and vehicle
importer industries. This ensures quality
work, including not just smash repairs but
also structural repairs.
In addition, Holland Collision Centre
is a member of the Collision Repair
Association, another industry body
assuring customers that its members’ work
meets very high standards, and is backed
by a robust guarantee and disputes process.
By far the most complicated part of
having a smash repair done can be dealing
with insurance companies. Holland
Collision Centre owner Cameron Holland
says there is a lot of misinformation about
who can repair your car after an accident.
“Whenever you make a claim through your
insurance company, it is your choice who
you take your vehicle to for its repair and
paint work.”
Cameron and the team can do repair
work for all insurance companies and aim
to make the insurance claim process as
quick and hassle-free as possible. That way
you are back on the road quicker.
All kinds of smash repair and vehicle paint
work are available at Holland Collision
Centre, using the latest technologies, such
as eco-friendly waterborne paints, and
huge dedicated workshop spaces. No job
is too small or too big, from small dents
and fender bender repairs, to seriously
damaged fleet and heavy vehicles, trucks,
farm machinery, horse floats, caravans,
motor homes and more.
before
Other services include windscreen
replacement, chassis strengthening,
sandblasting, finishing, and airconditioning
re-gassing. Wheel alignment
and other mechanical work can be arranged
too.
Holland Collision Centre has been
part of the Rolleston and Selwyn
community for more than three decades,
providing high quality collision repairs
and supporting numerous local groups,
events and people. It is at 826 Jones
Road, Rolleston and can be contacted at
(03) 347-8703.

REAA - Understanding real estate jargon
Every industry is full of jargon and
buzzwords that make no sense to anyone
who’s not part of the club. Real estate is no
different, which means it can be hard to get
up to speed. Here’s a handy guide to some
of the most common terms you’ll come
across when buying or selling property.
Agency agreement: If you are using
a licensed real estate agent to sell your
property, you’ll need to sign one of these
agreements - it sets out what the agent will
do and what they will be paid. Remember
you can negotiate the conditions, such as
who pays for marketing and how much
the commission is. Make sure you get
legal advice before you sign, because it’s a
binding document.
BEO or BBO: This stands for ‘Buyer
Enquiry Over’ or ‘Buyer Budget Over’,
which means that price listed on the
advertisement indicates the minimum that
the seller will accept. The seller actually
needs to give serious consideration to any
offer over the BEO, so this figure needs to
be selected carefully.
Deadline Sale or Deadline Private
Treaty: In this kind of sale, a property
is marketed for a set period (with an
advertised end date). The seller can choose
to accept an offer at any stage during the
listing period though it may be stated
in the advertising that ‘no offer will be
accepted prior’. Check the fine print.
LIM: This stands for Land Information
Memorandum, which contains everything
that the local council knows about the
property, such as any issues with drainage
and plumbing, erosion or permits. It will
help you identify if any additions haven’t
got the right consent. A LIM will also
record any unpaid rates.
Sale and purchase agreement: This
is a legally binding contract between
the buyer and seller for the purchase/
sale of a property. It provides certainty
to both parties and it sets out in writing
all the agreed terms and conditions. It’s
essential to get legal advice before you
sign an agreement – and that you read and
understand what it means.
Settlement: This is the end goal in a
property transaction, when the sale and
purchase is completed by the exchange of
property and payment. Settlement occurs
when the seller receives the money for the
sale – the buyer will not receive the keys
until this happens.
RV: This stands for ‘Rateable Value’ – this
is a value used to calculate local body rates.
It should not be assumed to be a market
value for a property when it is for sale as
the rating valuation may be a number of
years old. It is also not responsive to local
market fluctuations and may not reflect
any recent renovations to a property. This
was formerly known as ‘Government
Value’, or GV.
Tender: If a property is for sale by
tender, prospective buyers must submit
confidential written offers by a set date.
Usually there is no minimum price, but
properties are often listed with a BEO or
BBO price. The seller can then choose the
offer that is most acceptable to them, based
on the price and any attached conditions.
The most attractive tender is likely to be
one that combines a good price with few
conditions. Sellers are allowed to negotiate
with any one or more of the tenderers
received after tenders close.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Kitchens
sell homes
It is arguably the most used area in the
house. Often, it is the first thing you see
when you enter your own house, a friend’s
house, or a show home. In recent years,
it has become the hub of most homes for
both family and guests. And let’s face it, it
is the repository of that most important of
commodities – food. Of course the kitchen
is a popular place.
There is an adage that claims kitchens
sell houses. For many people, compromise
on bedroom size, house layout, bathroom
design, or even the orientation of the
lounge may be acceptable. Kitchens,, when
buying a new home however, can be a deal
breaker. When building, the kitchen is a key
consideration in the design.
If you are selling, replacing the kitchen, or
at least giving it a serious facelift is a proven
way to increase the value of the house.
Open plan living is not a new concept. In
the modern era, however, architects such
as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier
pioneered many facets of what is now
considered open plan, often using the
kitchen as the centralised space from which
a host could operate more intimately in
relation to the rest of the home, rather than
being secluded in a small room at the back
of the house.
These days, the return to open plan living
is complete, and the kitchen is still key. As
such, trends come and go regularly and
have become more personalised. White,
glossy finishes with splashes of colour are
still very popular, but a move towards raw,
organic materials such as stone and timber,
or metallic finishes is appearing. Mid tones
and earthy colours are now common. Black
is the new black, but bright accents are still
de rigueur.
Kitchens need to be functional, which is
a matter of personal choice. What works for
you? Appliances that make life easier are
easily integrated into kitchen spaces. Open
shelving, where everything is on hand, or
clutter hidden away in walk-in pantries?
Islands are ideal preparation surfaces and
gathering points. Bar stools make them
convenient places to sit with a coffee or
for children to do homework. Islands
are almost universal in modern kitchen
designs.
A lot of consideration and effort now
goes into those designs. The importance of
the social kitchen as the heart of the home
cannot be over-estimated. Often, the design
and functionality of the kitchen is the major
point of difference in homes being built and
sold.
Show homes are great ways for designers
and builders to showcase innovative
kitchens, and a fantastic opportunity for
buyers to see what they like, or don’t, and
to put together ideas for their ideal kitchen.
There are many show homes in Selwyn,
including those at Faringdon in Rolleston
as well as Te Whariki and Flemington in
Lincoln, and in many other subdivisions
and streets in the main centres.
If you are selling, replacing the
kitchen, or at least giving it a serious
facelift is a proven way to increase
the value of the house.

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.
