STATION OFFICER Ian White 

has been honoured with a gold 

star for 25 years of service to the 

Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade. 

Mr White was presented with 

his star in front of about 170

25 years fighting fires recognised 

Mr White, 43, said he joined 

the brigade while studying at 

Lincoln University. 

“I came to university down 

here and tried to be brainy and 

failed miserably,” he said. 

The earthquakes and the Port 

Hills fire were the two “most 

notable” events Mr White has 

been involved in. 

Mr White said he’s not sure 

how long he’ll stay with the 

brigade but “they’re not sick of 

me yet.” 

“It’s a real good service to be 

in to be honest, the camaraderie 

between each of the members 

and so on,” he said. 

Lincoln chief fire officer Jeremy 

Greenwood said Mr White 

is a “very, very humble, kind 

natured sort of person.” 

Mr Greenwood said they can 

always count on Mr White to 

step up. 

“Every time there’s a job 

during the day he sort of, turns 

out, it’s quite the sacrifice he 

makes for the community,” he 

said. 

Fears 

Yaldhurst 

quarry 

decision 

sets a 

precedent 

• By Anan Zaki 

TEMPLETON RESIDENTS fear 

they could be next following the 

approval of a quarry expansion in 

Yaldhurst last week. 

Quarrying company Road 

Metals was given permission 

by Environment Canterbury to 

increase the size of its Yaldhurst 

operations, which meant it can 

quarry land 100m from houses. 

Templeton Residents Association 

chairman Garry Kilday labelled 

the decision as “ridiculous 

and shocking.” 

He and other residents have 

been campaigning against a 

proposed quarry in the area by 

Fulton Hogan. 

Mr Kilday also expressed shock 

over how the Canterbury District 

Health Board’s advice over the 

quarry was limited to a single 

paragraph on a 54-page report. 

“It just flies in the face of common 

sense. 

“They [ECan] completely ignored 

the advice from the district 

health board. I don’t understand 

how they are getting away with 

it,” he said.

from the reporter’s desk 

It’s not surprising Templeton residents are fearful after seeing 

what’s happened in Yaldhurst recently (see page 1). 

Environment Canterbury has given Road Metals permission 

to expand one of its quarries. 

On a positive note, the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board has given the Templeton Residents’ Association 

$6000 for its fight against the proposed quarry. 

On page 3 you’ll read about the construction of the new pavilion 

at Weedons Reserve. 

With the clubrooms now demolished, the district council has 

indicated the new facility will be built in the next few weeks. 

But Weedons Residents’ Association secretary Gary Doyle still 

has questions about who is paying for it and how much.

Pavilion work to start soon 

In Brief 

BLAZE IN DARFIELD HOUSE 

Firefighters were called to a house 


fire at 7.25pm in Darfield last 

Wednesday. Darfield chief fire 

officer Alan Kittely said it’s not

community 

extinguish the blaze. 

pavilion (below) 

will be built. 

CONSTRUCTION OF the 

new community pavilion at 

Weedons Reserve is expected to 

start within the next few weeks. 

This follows the demolition 

of the existing clubrooms last 

week. 

A budget of about $800,000 is 

estimated for the new pavilion, 

with discussions ongoing for 

more than eight years. 

A district council spokesman 

said discussions regarding 

sports clubs’ contributions 

towards capital and operational 

costs are ongoing. 

But Weedons Residents’ Association 

secretary Gary Doyle 

doesn’t know how the district 

council can go ahead with plans 

without a budget in place. 

“How can you start a building 

without knowing where the 

money is coming from,” he said. 

However, Weedons Cricket 

Club junior club captain Ross 

Clarke confirmed both the tennis 

and cricket clubs would be 

contributing to the new facility. 

“Probably not at this stage 

[able to say how much it is 

contributing], but it is in the 

thousands,” he said. 

Weedons ratepayers are 

currently paying $14 per year 

towards the new pavilion and 

$80 towards the recreation 

reserve fee. 

Mr Doyle said ratepayers were 

initially paying $54 per year until 

he argued against it and the 

amount was reduced to $14. 

The district council’s major 

projects property manager John 

Reid said the building will include 

a lounge, a small kitchen, 

two dressing rooms and some 

public toilet facilities. 

The tennis courts have been 

moved and realigned to allow 

for a larger cricket oval for the 

Weedons Cricket 

Club as part of 

the community 

pavilion redevelopment. 

Information 

from the district council’s 

corporate services manager 

Greg Bell said the tennis court 

upgrade cost $162,601 plus 

GST and 65 per cent of this is 

estimated to have come from 

ratepayers. 

The new community pavilion 

is expected to be completed in 

October and the area will be 

fenced off during this time. 

However, access to the tennis 

courts and golf course should 

not be affected.

VEHICLE FIRE 

Firefighters were called to 

contain a vehicle fire at 9.30pm 

last Wednesday on Southbridge 

Leeston Rd. Southbridge chief fire 

officer Donald McMillan said it’s 

still unknown how the vehicle 

caught fire. He said units from 

Southbridge and Leeston both 

attended. Mr McMillan said the 

sole occupant of the vehicle was 

taken away by ambulance and it’s 

believed the man may have been 

treated for a medical condition. 

Meanwhile, firefighters were 

called to a rural shed fire on Dunsandel 

and Brookside Rd at about 

9.30pm last Monday. Dunsandel 

chief fire officer Ian Chatterson 

said units from Southbridge, 

Leeston, Lincoln and Dunsandel 

attended the “fully involved” 

fire. It took firefighters about two 

hours to contain the blaze. Noone 

was injured.

Precedent fears 

over quarry 

expansion 

•From page 1 

Anti-quarry campaigner Simon 

Moore said he was scared that a 

precedent had been set. 

“They [CDHB] are the people 

who know how people are affected 

by this because they can see them. 

“It scares the hell out of me that 

it’s inevitable that it’s going to 

happen out here because of the 

rubber stamping that’s going on by 

ECan particularly,” Mr Moore said. 

He said his stance did not mean 

he was against quarrying. 

“Obviously we need quarries if 

we’re going to have roads. 

But we don’t need them in 

people’s backyards,” Mr Moore 

said. 

He said he felt sorry for Yaldhurst 

residents who would be impacted 

by the decision. 

The Templeton Residents 

Association also received a 

major boost last week after being 

granted $6000 from the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board. 

The money would be used to 

source expert advice over the 

dangers of the proposed quarry, Mr 

Kilday said. 

“We need these guys to testify 

and it costs a lot of money.” Mr 

Kilday said. 

Council, ECan clash over fare increase 

Mayor wants 

rates to cover 

bus shortfall 


Sam 

Broughton 

THE DISTRICT council 

isn’t backing Environment 

Canterbury’s plan to increase 

public transport fares. 

In ECan’s draft Long Term 

Plan, three options have been 

proposed to plug 

a $4 million 

shortfall in the 

public transport 

budget. 

Two of the three 

options incorporate 

fare increases 

including ECan’s 

preferred option 

which would see 

an annual increase in total fare 

revenue of 2.5 per year for the 

next three years. 

Mayor Sam Broughton made 

a submission on ECan’s draft 

LTP on behalf of the district 

council. 

“SDC does not support 

proposed fare increases. Rather 

we believe that any shortfall in 

funding should be generated 

from rate revenue,” he said. 

Public transport is funded 

COST: The district council is against Environment 

Canterbury’s plan to increase public transport fares.

from a New Zealand Transport 

Agency subsidy, bus fares and 

ECan rates. 

Patronage has never 

recovered following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

In his submission, Mr 

Broughton suggested the 

district should be within 

the same single fare zone as 

Christchurch. 

“Currently, a journey from 

Redcliffs to Hornby is one 

zone, but Rolleston to Hornby 

is two zones and Lincoln to 

Prebbleton is two zones,” he 

said. 

Mr Broughton believes if 

ECan changed the district’s 

fare zoning, there would be an 

increase in patronage. 

He also suggested ECan 

introduce a youth fare. 

“A youth in the equivalent 

of full-time study should stay 

on the lower ‘child’ fare service 

enhancements not decreases,” 

Mr Broughton said. 

Selwyn Youth Council 

chairwoman Paige Sullivan 

said the youth fare is a “really 

good” idea and one that would 

encourage people to study in 

Christchurch. 

“Especially for young people 

busing into things like Ara, it 

can get real expensive,” she said. 

She said the youth council 

will probably go to the district 

council and ECan next month 

to discuss the free bus trial it 

ran in April. Buses travelled 

between Southbridge and 

Darfield and Darfield to 

Southbridge via Rolleston as 

part of the trial. Paige said a 

total of 557 people travelled on 

the bus over two days. 

Mr Broughton said the 

district council also wants 

ECan to consider 

some new routes, 

including a 

Southbridge to 

Leeston service 

which could link 

to either Lincoln 

or Rolleston. 

“We would also 

like consideration 

given to a 

Paige 

Sullivan 

Darfield-Kirwee-West Melton 

service which could link to 

Hornby or Church Corner or 

Rolleston,” he said. 

An ECan spokeswoman said 

there were 779 submissions on 

the LTP. 

“Majority are on public 

transport options,” she said. 

ECan is having a public 

deliberation meeting today and 

will adopt the final LTP on June 

21.

Confusing speed 

limit signs removed 


CONFUSION ON how 

fast to travel on busy 

Birchs Rd between 

Prebbleton and Lincoln 

has been resolved. 

District council asset 

engineer transportation 

Mark Chamberlain 

confirmed that at one stage 

Birchs Rd had both an 

80km/h and 100km/h sign 

on display. 

However, he said this 

was changed on May 11 

and the Birchs Rd speed 

limit is 80km/h. 

“As per the speed limit 

review at the end of last 

year and confirmed at the 

February council meeting,” 

Mr Chamberlain said. 

He said the mistake occurred 

because new signs 

are being “progressively 

installed” and some existing 

signs had not been 

changed. 

A district council 

spokesman said no other 

roads in the district have 

been affected. 

Sergeant Alex Pickover 

said in this case, police 

wouldn’t issue tickets if 

motorists were driving at 

the incorrect speed. 

“As far as I’m aware if its 

two different speed limits, 

one’s saying one and the 

other’s saying another, 

then we won’t issue tickets,” 

he said. 

This follows a recent 

district council decision 

to combine the review of 

Selwyn’s speed limit bylaw 

and speed limits outside 

schools to prevent confusing 

the public. 

Both reviews will now go 

SELWYN TIMES 

out for public consultation 

in August. 

Mr Chamberlain said 

police have been informed 

about the changes in 

progress and the district 

council is encouraging 

residents and road users 

to get in touch if they spot 

incorrect signs.

Changes to water race bylaw 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

Mark 

Alexander 

A DECISION to alter a 

bylaw affecting Selwyn’s 

water races without further 

public consultation has been 

questioned. 

The district council approved 

alterations to the Water Race 

Bylaw at its meeting recently following 

a public hearing in April. 

The bylaw subcommittee 

hearing panel 

consisted of district 

councillors 

Debra Hasson, 

Mark Alexander 

and Nicole 

Reid. 

Alongside the 

Water Race Bylaw, 

it adopted 

the amended 

Water Supply 

Bylaw and the Stormwater and 

Drainage Bylaw 2018. 

It is after public consultation 

on the Water Race Bylaw 2008 

received four submissions from 

residents, the Canterbury District 

Health Board and Environment 

Canterbury. 

Two submissions from residents 

asked for a clause ensuring 

there is facility to manage the 

water races for ecological purposes 

to be placed back into the 

new bylaw. 

SET TO GO: The district council has reviewed its water supply 

bylaws. 

It was the clause to enhance 

water races ecologically where 

ever possible would be placed 

back into the new water race 

bylaw. 

But district councillor Craig 

Watson said “is not good practice” 

for the hearing panel to 

change the bylaw based on two 

submissions. 

He was concerned the changes 

were made without consulting 

the public and the district council’s 

water race sub-committee 

and it could result in a “huge 

expense”. 

His views were supported by 

district councillor John Morten. 

District councillor Mark 

Alexander said it is appropriate 

for these issues to be resolved at 

the hearing. 

“I am not quite sure how else 

we were to deal with this . . . if 

we don’t like it we will re start 

the process even if it means delaying 

the outcome,” he said. 

Cr Alexander said the hearing 

panel considered the submissions 

and agreed to put the 

ecological clause back in. 

He said he imagined any 

future proposals relating to 

enhancing the water races would 

be taken to the water race subcommittee 

for comment. 

But Cr Watson and Cr 

Morten’s votes were recorded 

against the decision to amend 

the Water Race Bylaw 2008 at 

the meeting. 

Cr Watson said this was because 

no investigation has been 

done on what affect it may have 

on the water races. 

“While their intention may be

Tough trip for scooter riders 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

TRAVELLING ACROSS the 

Southern Alps on a scooter is 

never going to be an easy feat. 

But for Kirwee man Paul 

Washington, the bigger the 

struggle, the better. 

The aircraft engineer was one 

of 270 people to travel 250km on 

scooters from Christchurch to 

Hokitika to raise money for the 

Canterbury-West Coast Cancer 

Society. 

It was the fifth time Mr Washington 

has taken part in the 

Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari and 

wild weather made the ride as 

“challenging” as ever. 

Riders were battered with 

strong winds all the way to 

Arthur’s Pass before facing heavy 

rain all the way to Hokitika. 

Mr Washington takes part in 

each event in a Santa Claus suit 

in honour of his six-year-old son 

he lost to cancer 25 years ago. 

His son Nicholas Washington 

passed away several weeks after 

Christmas, in January 1992, after 

fighting a brain tumour for two 

years. 

“It has taught me to ignore the 

little things, there is a lot of stuff 

out there that people sweat on 

and it is not important. 

“Ever now 25 years on I still get 

a tear in my eye . . . I have got a 

little grandson who looks a little 

like my son did. I love spending 

time with him. I know how precious 

it can be.” 

Both his wife Nicky and his 

sister-in-law also have breast 

cancer, with his wife currently 

receiving treatment. 

Mr Washington’s scooter trip 

has individually raised nearly 

$2600 for the Cancer Society 

while the overall event raised 

$320,000. 

The biennial trip aims to raise 

awareness for the difficulties 

people experience in their battle 

against cancer. 

“Although it is to no extent

Porters Pass in honour 

of his late son Nicholas. 

the same as suffering cancer, 

there is always the challenge, it is 

uncomfortable, you never know 

what you are really going to 

expect,” Mr Washington said. 

Mr Washington said there are 

so many services the 

Cancer Society provides to help 

people “get through their terrible 

time.” 

The fundraiser was started in 

2009 by Jayne and Mike Rattray 

when their colleague Blair Newton 

was diagnosed with bowel 

cancer. 

Over the past nine years the 

event has raised $1,106,000. 


SIXTY-ONE objections have 

been made against a another 

bottle store opening in Lincoln. 

An application has been 

submitted by Balhae Ltd for an 

off-licence bottle store known 

as Lincoln Liquor Centre, on 

Eastfield Drive (right). 

A district council spokesman 

said 17 of the 61 objectors want 

to be heard at a public hearing. 

A date for the hearing has not 

been set yet. 

“The District Licensing Committee 

members will be selected 

once a date has been set for the 

hearing,” the spokesman said. 

But some residents have said 

the centre, which is proposing 

to be open 7am-9pm seven days 

a week, is unnecessary. 

Lincoln residents Tania 

Roxborogh and Dave Bunt 

don’t want another bottle store 

in Lincoln so they made objections. 

In Mr Bunt’s objection, he 

said he feels the new liquor store 

would cause “a heightened risk 

of alcohol abuse.” 

“I want my children, pets and 

neighbours to be able to safely 

walk the streets without having 

to worry about stepping on 




61 objections to 

Lincoln bottle store 

broken glass or running into 

heavily intoxicated students,” 

he said. 

Mrs Roxborogh is concerned 

about the health of the community 

and the impact of more 

litter. 

“I just think that this isn’t 

going to serve those vulnerable 

members of our community by 

having a bottle store right in the 

middle of a residential place,” 

she said. 

Balhae Ltd could not be 

reached for comment. 

It’s not the first time residents 

have objected to plans for more 

bottle stores in the area. 

In October, Dipin Kalra 

withdrew his application to 

operate the Lincoln Bottle Store 

he wanted to site in Gerald St 

following 100 objections. 

In January the district council 

granted a licence for the Liquorland 

store in Vernon Drive.

So how does this message 

involve mycoplasma bovis, a 

disease affecting New Zealand’s 

beef and dairy industries? 

As a rural landowner grazing 

cattle, I read another farm – this 

time in North Canterbury – is 

infected with this disease. 

Having heard first-hand from 

a farmer who purchased stock, 

and had them blood tested 

by the Ministry for Primary 

Industries and culled in 2017, I 

think about the farms currently 

under surveillance. 

I wonder where these farms 

are and how as a landowner 

would I be notified about 

outbreaks? What would my plan 

be and do I need a plan now? 

A common complaint from 

rural landowners has been 

about the lack of forward 

planning and communication, 

given the disease could have 

been introduced as early as 

2015. 

With industry participation, 

farmers can receive updates 

through the tracking of National 

Animal Identification and 

Tracing scheme tags and milk. 

But what about the lifestyle 

block owner raising a few beef 

for home kill? 

What if the outbreak was foot 

and mouth disease? It’s a disease 

that can affect multiple animals, 

and the affect on our economy 

would be devastating.

the MPI website MBovis2017

Ronan Bass 

Irish eyes are smiling on Ellesmere 

About a month into 

the job, Ellesmere 

College’s new principal 

Ronan Bass is enjoying 

the new role. Emily 

O’Connell talked 

with him about his 

career, moving from 

Ireland and his most 

memorable teaching 

moment 

How have your first few weeks 

been at Ellesmere College? 

It’s been really good. 

Everybody’s been very 

welcoming. So we started with a 

beautiful powhiri . . . I was very 

fortunate to have some 

staff members from Hillcrest 

High School in Hamilton and 

students come down to support 

me along with some of my 

friends who work in the local 

community. So that was a really 

beautiful way of being, I suppose, 

introduced to the Leeston 

and the Ellesmere College 

community. 

How did you get into teaching? 

I went straight from high 

school to do a degree. It was a 

combined degree in education 

and science. Growing up in a 

very rural community in the 

East Coast of Ireland, I had 

always thought about becoming 

a vet. And then I worked during 

my teens for about three years 

in a veterinary clinic and that 

put me right off. I don’t know 

where it kind of came from, 

there’s kind of been a series of 

sort of teachers in my family 

and it was something I thought 

about. I attended the University 

of Limerick, which is on the 

West Coast of Ireland, and I 

did a bachelor of science and 

education, specialising in 

agricultural science and biology 

. . . I spent my first year out of 

university working in a school 

smaller than Ellesmere College 

in probably a town around 

about the same size, and then 

I was quite fortunate to get a 

position at an international 

boarding school in Switzerland 

for a year. After that I decided 

I wanted to see the world a wee 

bit and I moved to New Zealand. 

Initially, for about six months on 

a working holiday visa but stayed 

for about five years. And then 

went back to Europe for a couple 

years and I’ve been back here 

ever since. 

What put you off becoming 

a vet? 

I’m not sure actually. Probably, 

it’s a full-on job – not that teaching 

of any school isn’t. Maybe 

it was the goriness of it? I’m not 

sure. I’m pretty good with kind 

of guts and blood . . . I suppose 

maybe the idea that I wanted to 

give back more to community 

and the idea of social justice and 

working with people and being 

able to, I suppose, influence and 

bring about change. 

How long have you been 

teaching? 

This is my 21st year. 

What was the first school you 

taught in? 

Colaiste Bhride – and that 

back then was quite a small 

school. It was under 300 students 

and it was about 20km from 

where I grew up . . . now that 

school has actually about 800- 

900 students. 

What made you apply for the 

job at Ellesmere College? 

Long-term my plan had always 

been to move to the South 

Island. Last year I was fortunate 

enough to be acting principal 

at Hillcrest High School, which 

is a school of 1800 students, for 

a term while the principal was 

away on a sabbatical and I really 

enjoyed that . . . when this position 

came up, it was very much 

a kind of ‘it ticked all my boxes.’ 

I’ve always wanted to work and 

lead a school which is set in kind 

of a rural community where you 

can see, kind of, I suppose, your 

sphere of influence but also be 

close enough to a large urban 

area like Christchurch so that 

you do have a bit more of the 

support mechanisms close by. 

Two of my best friends work 

at two of the local schools . . . 

Ellesmere College has a really 

good reputation. It’s not that this 

school was broken and needs to 

be fixed or anything like that. 

That it would be going in here to 

work with a really professional 

group of teachers and support 

staff and working collaboratively 

with them, moving forward for 

the future. One of the big draws 

for me was the, I suppose, the 

rebuild that’s going to happen 

over the next two years and that’s 

really, really exciting. 

Other than the term of being 

principal at Hillcrest High 

School, had you been principal 

before? 

Nope. So I’m a first time principal. 

Did that term make you want 

to become principal? 

Yes, well it had always been 

my career aspiration. It was 

an interesting thing because

HUNTER 

when I was acting principal for 

term two last year, I was not apprehensive 

about it but I was like 

‘I’m just going to take every day 

as it comes.’ But I really, really 

enjoyed it I have to say. 

Why have you always wanted 

to move to the South Island? 

You just have to look at, you 

know, how the South Island 

looks at the moment and it’s 

a pretty easy answer. I think 

Autumn in the South Island is 

an absolute spectacular time, you 

know, the change in colours, and 

the scenery, the people . . . I’m a 

rural boy at heart. 

When and why did you move 

to New Zealand? 

So it was in 1999. I had family 

living here, so on my dad’s side, 

my closest cousins in terms of 

age lived in New Zealand and 

we had seen them sporadically 

growing up and I decided well 

I kind of wanted a bit of change 

of scenery and I’d like to get to 

know some of my cousins a bit 

better.

College 

What’s the difference between 

teaching here and overseas? 

I think we’ve got extremely 

hard working teachers. I think 

we’ve got very, very professional 

teachers . . . we’ve got an 

absolutely amazing, and I always 

say world-leading curriculum 

document. When you look at 

curriculum documents from 

other countries, you know, 

they are thousands 

of pages long and 

extremely prescriptive 

. . . NCEA has some 

issues with it but 

again, that has been 

designed to be a 

very, very flexible 

assessment system 

and it’s about teachers 

being able to use that 

and adapt it so it fits the localised 

context of the school and it’s 

adaptable enough to be able to 

be used so that it fits the learning 

needs of the students as well . . . 

so for example in Ireland, it all 

rode on, or used to, I think it may 

have changed, everything rode 

on your end of year exams at 

the end of year 13 . . . so a classic 

example was, you know, my year 

13 biology exam, I had a splitting 

migraine, I left after 40min and 

there was no such thing as a 

derived grade or compassionate 

consideration, you had to suck it 

up and either take the grade you 

got or you resat it the following 

year. 

What grade did you end up 

getting in your biology exam? 

I got a B+. It was one of my 

stronger subjects. 

What do you hope to achieve 

or implement at Ellesmere 

College? 

For me, it’s not 

about what I want 

to implement, it’s 

more about taking 

staff, students and 

the community on a 

journey. As I have kind 

of mentioned, where 

we’re going to have new 

buildings and possibly 

have to rethink how 

we’re doing some of our teaching. 

It’s about taking everybody on 

a journey so they understand 

why we’re doing that and how to 

do it. 

Do you live locally to the 

college? 

Yes I do. I’m about a 7min 

drive, so it’s within the Leeston 

community, so just slightly on 

the outskirts. And that was 

part of moving down here was 

that I wanted to be part of the 

community and to be highly 

visible within the community 

and that was a conscious 

decision. 

What’s your most memorable 

teaching moment? 

A lot of them, really. I suppose 

for me, and most teachers would 

say this, but it’s about, you 

know, seeing kind of a light go 

on behind a kid’s eyes . . . and 

that’s what schools are all about, 

you know, working together and 

working collaboratively to ensure 

that students leave school and 

can be successful, irrespective of 

what they want to do. 

What’s your favourite thing to 

do outside of work? 

Probably get into the 

garden when the weather’s 

nice. I tend to just kind of like 

de-stress. Probably at home – 

doing some reading, watching a 

lot of movies and kind of taking 

it easy. 

Do you have any pets? 

We have a small zoo. So 

dogs, cats, chickens, and at one 

time, rabbits – so that was an 

interesting process transporting 

them to the South Island. 

What’s the most important 

lesson you’ve learnt? 

Is to listen – and that is a 

lesson I’ve had to learn over a 

long period of time. But it’s really 

important you can step back and 

listen to people.

Campaign to get pupils active 

THE DISTRICT council is 

running a new campaign to keep 

school children active in the 

cooler months. 

Active Autumn aims to get 

children to bike, wheel or walk 

to school to encourage activity, 

reduce congestion and develop 

road safety skills. 

Walk or wheel to or from 

school and get your passport 

stamped to be in to win one 

of three 2018 MGP Scooters, 

new helmets and back pack covers. 

Children must complete 10 

journeys to enter. 

Active Autumn is also running 

a poster design competition. 

Create a poster on “walking or 

wheeling is good for me because 

. . .” and be in to win one of three 

Pedalmania visits for your school 

and a helmet for yourself. 

Mayor Sam Broughton will be 

helping judge the posters. 

Active Autumn runs until May 

31.

Rehearsals ramp up 

for school production 

IT IS another musical year for 

Lincoln High School and this 

time they are performing Guys 

and Dolls. 

Based on the story and 

characters of Damon Runyon, 

with music and lyrics by Frank 

Loesser, this colourful and lighthearted 

comedy has many wellknown 

songs, including Luck 

be a Lady tonight and Sit down 

you’re rocking the boat. 

Set in Depression-era Times 

Square, Guys and Dolls is about 

a couple of big city gamblers and 

the women who love them. 

It tells the overlapping stories 

of high-roller Sky Masterson, 

who falls in love with mission 

worker Sarah Brown, and lovable 

rapscallion Nathan Detroit, 

engaged for 14 years to Miss 

Adelaide, a headliner at the Hot 

Box Club. 

Detroit runs a famous floating 

crap game, and an ongoing 

plot line involves his quest for a 

safe place for the game as Miss 

Adelaide continues her quest to 

convince him to marry her. 

Meanwhile, Sarah, mistakenly 

believing that Masterson set up 

an 

SALE 

illegal game at the mission, 

tries to fight her affection for the 

charismatic crapshooter. 

With a total of 80 cast, band 

and crew members, Guys and 

Dolls is a massive undertaking 

for all staff, students and parents 

involved.

Backyard Critters 




Invite native moths onto your patch 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects and 

other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new species found in 

his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public awareness of 

biodiversity, the variety of living things around us. Check out the full list 

of invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln 

THE LARVAE of many native 

moth species have a very 

narrow range of hosts, so if 

you plant a diverse range of 

native plants as I do, you attract 

and support a diverse range of 

insects. 

Planting a grove of natives 

creates dense leaf litter for 

additional species such as the 

slender owlet moth, Rhapsa 

scotosialis, whose larvae feed 

on recently fallen leaves and 

moss. 

This endemic moth is one 

of the more common species 

in native forests, so to have it 

in my backyard in Lincoln is 

indeed satisfying. 

These attractive moths are 

triangular in shape when 

resting and are 14-19mm long. 

Moth wing patterns can be 

quite variable but this species 

usually has pale wing tips and 

distinctive squiggles on the 

forewings. 

This moth family are often 

called ‘snout moths’ due to 

their pointed palps, and males 

are distinguished by their large 

feather-like antennae. 

The underside of the male 

forewings have scent glands 

concealed in a fold and are used 

during courtship. 

So, if you would like to 

attract more of our 1400 

endemic moth species to your 

backyard, try planting some 

new native species in your 

garden. 

ENDEMIC: Slender owlet moth, (rhapsa scotosialis) larvae feed on 

recently fallen leaves and moss.

Update on District Plan Review 

Selwyn District Council has been preparing a range of topics for 

initial public consultation as part of its District Plan Review. 

At its May meeting the Council’s District Plan Committee received 

the latest round of reports on a number of different topics, indicating 

a preferred option on draft changes to the current Plan, which will 

form the starting point for engaging with the wider community. 

“While the recent public attention has been on the Long-Term Plan 

for the district, the Council has also been engaging with stakeholders 

and partners on a range of topics which are under review,” says Tim 

Harris, the Council’s Environmental Services Manager. 

“We’re looking at all the rules and policies in the current District 

Plan – which sets out how our district’s resources need to be 

managed – and consulting with our partners and stakeholders over 

what changes, if any, need to be made in the next Plan. 

An initial public consultation on a range of matters and draft 

changes will take place later this year. 

For more information on the District Plan Review and opportunities 

to provide feedback visit the Council’s engagement hub Your Say 

Selwyn at www.selwyn.govt.nz/yoursay. 

Over 500 people made use of the free Selwyn Link bus trial over two days in the April 

school holidays. 

The nine-stop bus service was offered to the community by the Selwyn Youth Council, with buses 

traveling from Southbridge to Darfield and Darfield to Southbridge, via Rolleston. 

The bus service was designed with the aim of reducing isolation in the community, and providing 

better access to services and activities. 

Paige Sullivan, Selwyn Youth Council Chairperson says the service was well received by 

the community. 

“It was great to see all age groups taking advantage of the service, with kids off to spend their 

pocket money in Rolleston, young people heading into Christchurch and the elderly enjoying a 

day trip getting out and about across the district.” 

The route was designed after the Youth Council consulted with students from Ellesmere College 

and Darfield High School about what they would like in a bus service in terms of timings and 

stop locations. 

Members of the Youth Council collected feedback about the service on board the buses with a 

short passenger survey. They will present their findings to the Selwyn District Council at their June 

meeting, and to Environment Canterbury later this year. 

Submissions invited on the Council’s Draft 

Gambling Venue Policy 

The Council’s Gambling Venue Policy sets out if and where non-casino gaming machines or “pokie 

machines” can be located in the district and also provides restrictions on the number of machines at 

the venues. 

Since the current policy was adopted in March 2015 the population of the district has increased from 

49,500 to approximately 60,000 and there have been more restaurants and bars established to service 

this increased population. 

The Council’s existing policy has a cap of 107 machines. 

The proposed draft policy includes: 

· a cap of 120 machines 

· limits new venues to a maximum of 5 machines 

· venues that are operating less than 5 machines to have a maximum of 5 machines. 

These provisions seek to strike a balance between community benefit (funding and entertainment) and 

the harm caused by problem gambling. 

The consultation period runs from Monday 28 May–Friday 29 June. 

The proposed Policy, submission forms and a statement of proposal are available at all Council service 

centres and libraries and on the Council’s website yoursay.selwyn.govt.nz from Monday 28 May. 

You can make your submission online or by emailing submissions@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Written submissions can be addressed to: The Regulatory Manager, Selwyn District Council, Reviewed 

Gambling Venue Policy 2018, PO Box 90, Rolleston. 

Selwyn District Council 

announces first artist residency 

Selwyn District Council is pleased to announce that respected Ngāi 

Tahu artist, Emma Riha Kitson, has been appointed as the first of 

four artists in residence in Selwyn. 

The Canterbury-born artist and designer is inspired by native 

New Zealand flora and fauna and Te Ao Māori. Using printmaking 

methods that whānau can use at home, Emma will explore the 

intersection of traditional Māori stories and use of bunting to 

decorate special occasions. 

Matariki ki tua o ngā whetū, ‘Matariki of endless possibilities’ uses 

contemporary Ngā Toi Māori to interpret and celebrate the story 

of Matariki. 

Installed: Artists in Residence is a series of four artist residencies 

in collaboration with Selwyn District Libraries and the Selwyn arts 

community, and produced by Council’s Arts, Culture and 

Heritage Selwyn service. 

All are welcome to visit Emma at the Darfield Library and learn 

about the printmaking process. Emma will be available at the library 

Monday 11 June to Friday 15 June, between 11am and 5pm. 

An evening presentation will be held on Tuesday 12 June from 

7–8pm. This will involve learning the skills to make prints at home 

without a printing press, using recycled and budget materials. 

She will also host a Whānau DIY Matariki Bunting workshop, with 

two sessions on Saturday 16 June, 10am and 1.30pm for all ages 

and skill levels. Bookings are required for these workshops. Register 

at selwynlibraries.co.nz. 

The remaining artist residencies will be offered at Rolleston (Youth), 

Lincoln (Literature) and Leeston (Digital Art) libraries, in October 

2018, February 2019, and April 2019 respectively.

Selwyn District Council and Police are reminding motorists of the dangers of winter driving as the wintry 

months approach. 

Weather conditions such as fog, rain, icy roads, sun strike and snow pose challenges for even the most 

skilled drivers. Reduced visibility and traction on the roads can lead to road crashes. 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills of the New Zealand Police says there are inherent risks in winter driving, but 

motorists can act to improve road safety. 

“Make sure you have sufficient tread depth on your tires and that your brakes are in warrant of fitness 

condition,” says Sergeant Stills. “Ensure your wiper blades are in good condition and can clear your 

windscreen easily. Drive with your lights on, and watch your following distances and speed on curves 

and through bends. 

“Be mindful of wet and shaded roads where ice can form. Bridges are risky due to being very cold 

through having no ground immediately below them,” he says. 

Crash statistics from Selwyn show that between 2013 and 2017 there were twice as many accidents 

in the morning peak period of 6–9am in the winter months (June, July and August) as in the summer 

months (December, January and February). 

The Council’s roading contractors will be monitoring local roads for ice and laying grit when needed 

throughout winter. Motorists still need to drive carefully and reduce their speed when driving on grit.

Lincoln take down 

Aoraki in UC competition 

SPORTS 

• By Jacob Page 

IT WAS a case of job done for the 

Lincoln Combined first XV as 

they earned a 26-13 bonus point 

win over Aoraki Combined on 

Saturday. 

Lincoln made the most of 

home field advantage for the 

second straight week of the UC 

Championship by scoring four 

tries to one. 

Coach Mike Wilson wanted a 

composed performance against 

one of the competition’s lower 

ranked teams. 

He got it in patches. 

“I thought we started really 

PLAY-OFF SPOTS continue 

to be the goal for all teams in 

the Luisetti Seeds combined 

country division one rugby 

competition. 

In section A, Waihora have 

a commanding four-point lead 

over Saracens. 

However, third-placed Celtic 

and sixth-placed Lincoln are 

split by just one competition 

point. 

Lincoln caused the log-jam 

with a gritty 29-27 home win 

over Celtic on Saturday. 

Glenmark upset Saracens 32- 

15, while Southbridge remained 

in the top four with a 43-25 

triumph over Ohoka which was 

the first time the two teams had 

ever met. 

West Melton outlasted Hampstead, 

winning 33-26, while 

Waihora thumped BDI 49-20. 

Things are even tighter in 

section B with table-toppers 

Springston and fourth-placed 

Darfield split by just two points. 

Springston, Prebbleton, 

Rakaia and Darfield all have 

the chance to finish top of the 

section by the time the roundrobin 

finishes. 

Rakaia pipped Darfield 24-21, 

while Springston easily accounted 

for Hurunui 33-7. 

Methven accounted for Oxford 

35-31, Rolleston downed 

Hornby 27-8 and Kaiapoi beat 

Southern 30-24.

well, scored within 5min and we 

held the ball,” Wilson said. 

He said their early try probably 

made his team over-confident. 

“We get excited when we see 

space and we were a little guilty 

of trying to score on every play, 

pushing the pass.” 

Lincoln scored their second try 

late in the first half to cement a 

14-6 halftime advantage. 

Wilson said his team was 

forced to work harder on defence 

in the second half. 

“We had concerted periods of 

defending our line and I thought 

we did really well to hold them 

out as long as we did,” he said. 

While Lincoln continues 

to have a few injuries pile up, 

Wilson was happy with their 

back-to-back wins.

flank and made the most

the talented swimmer has

Ashburton over the weekend. 

His time of 2min 26.60sec was

The ultimate in 

windows & doors 

Ultimate Design and Renovation specialise in aluminium 

windows, doors, conservatories and windbreaks. It is a 

family owned business and owner Kelly Tyson prides 

herself on the best customer service, the best product and 

the best price. 

Double glazing technology has advanced and Ultimate 

Design and Renovation has a solid reputation when 

it comes to manufacturing and installing high quality 

double-glazed windows, whether into new builds or 

existing homes. Older style single-glazed window frames 

may be retro-fitted with double glazing to help create a 

drier, warmer home. However, not all window frames may 

be suitable for this and fitting new window units may be a 

wiser choice, especially in the long term, Kelly says. 

Ultimate Design and Renovation design consultants all 

have the knowledge of the building industry to offer the 

very best advice on what is right for your home. They are 

able to discuss options with you and provide prices quickly. 

They can also advise on several finance options available to 

suit. 

Kelly started the company nearly 10 years ago. Her 

parents had an aluminium joinery business, so she has lots 

of experience in the industry. The joinery is manufactured 

locally in Christchurch, which means the prices and 

waiting time can be reduced. 

Ultimate Design and Renovation also designs, 

manufactures and installs a wide range of doors, including 

French doors, bifolds, and pick up sliders, with many 

different configurations and styles available. Conservatories 

are also a way to expand a home with sheltered, warm 

space and are another quality product manufactured and 

installed by Ultimate Design and Renovation. 

With efficient production and delivery systems, 3D

Phillip J Fisher – total property 

service and maintenance 

Phillip J Fisher is a fully qualified painter 

and decorator with 40 years of experience. 

He’s owned several painting companies, 

now operated by his sons. Phillip still offers 

a range of painting and decorating services, 

including interior and exterior, roof and 

fence painting and staining, and Novelio 

wall coverings – soft, decorative, durable 

wall coverings that can be painted over. It is 

stronger than conventional wallpaper and 

can take the knocks in those hard working 

service areas. 

The benefits of maintaining your property 

are well established. Preventive measures 

save money in the long term; the value of 

your house and property are maintained, 

even increased; a sense of pride is fostered 

when your most valuable asset is looking 

good; and a well maintained property 

can help when dealing with insurance 

companies. Therefore, the services of a 

qualified expert are relatively cost effective. 

In addition to providing painting, 

decorating and small handyman services, 

Phillip also runs Kleenwash Property 

Services (KWPS). Kleenwash services 

include exterior house and building 

washing, waterblasting paths, decks and 

roofs, graffiti removal, moss lichen and 

algae treatments, and silicon sealing of 

roofs, concrete, bricks, and tiles. 

KWPS also provide fly and spider pest 

control services for interior and exterior, 

and window cleaning, using chemical free, 

pure water solution that won’t leave water 

marks. 

This is the ideal time of the year to have 

the gutters and downpipes on your house 

checked and cleared of debris, especially 

for the leaves that are blowing around, 

falling and blocking them. KWPS clears 

gutters with a motor driven (which is not 

dependent on your electricity) Kleenvac 

system. 

Along with all of these services, small 

repair jobs can also be completed and 

Phillip can put in place a maintenance 

programme that will leave you worry free 

when it comes to the care of your home. 

Contact Phillip to discuss this, or any 

other job you need done, on 021 228 

2889, 03 342 9391, or via email at phillip.

SELWYN TIMES 

Garages are not all equal 

Not all garages are equal. Smaller 

townhouses may have a single garage 

whereas larger homes are more likely 

to have double, triple or even four-car 

garaging. 

Having more garaging has been more 

popular in recent times. It can add an ‘x’ 

factor leading to a speedier house sale and 

potential for a higher selling price. 

However, how much garage space do 

you really need? 

Before committing to an even larger 

home, take time to consider the purpose of 

your garage. This may avoid the situation 

where one or more vehicles is parked up in 

the driveway due to there being no room 

in the garage after work bench, garden 

equipment, bicycles and other items are 

packed in. 

An outside shed may take out some 

clutter, as will moving on unused 

possessions, with the result that a standard 

double garage may be sufficient. 

While a larger garage will add square 

metres, extra garage space costs less than 

in other areas of a home because there are 

fewer features. 

At planning stage, map out what will 

be stored in the garage. Take account 

of the space needed for motor vehicles, 

bikes, work bench, tools and gardening 

implements, if these will be kept in the 

garage. 

List all the items, measuring each to 

assess how they will fit into the garage. 

Manufacturers and 

suppliers of superior quality 

garage doors throughout 

New Zealand. 

Allow space for moving around and 

getting into and out of the cars parked in 

the garage, once bikes, ladders and the like 

are stacked against the walls. 

Attic trusses with a pull down ladder 

could be included; a great way to gain 

extra storage space for less used items. 

Other features that will reduce clutter 

may include built-in shelving and 

storage cupboards, hanging devices like 

hammocks suspended from the roof, 

and bike hooks. These can make a huge 

difference to the spaciousness of this very 

practical part of the house. 

Thinking of the garage doors themselves, 

these can be custom made to fit. While 

two or three single doors may be attractive 

for accessing a larger garage, weigh up 

garage door width and their practicality 

should a larger vehicle need to be stored in 

the garage at any time. 

Including one or more windows will 

allow natural light without the need to 

open the garage door. The glass can be 

frosted for privacy while a glass side 

or back door will provide access to the 

backyard. You might also include a 

garage door through to the backyard. 

Alternatively, a garage, carport, or parking 

space down the side may provide storage 

for a caravan, motorhome or boat and 

access the yard. 

Ensuring sufficient off-street parking 

space out front is also often overlooked 

and worth the investment. 

Single doors into a larger garage are popular. 

Three and four car garaging is popular. 

Extra garage space costs less than other parts of a home.

on time, and keeping them there, can be 

a difficult task. Christchurch Building & 

Decorating is the very definition of a onestop 

operation and, with three builders, 

four painters and labourers on the team 

and electricians and plumbers also 

available, there is little risk of being held up 

by absentee tradies. 

David Clearwater has been in the building 

trade all his life, as a qualified plumber, 

roofer, gasfitter and drain layer. These 

days he heads up Christchurch Building & 

Decorating. It is a team of very experienced 

tradespeople that has served Christchurch 

and Selwyn for more than 15 years. 

While bathroom renovations and 

installations are the specialty, the 

experienced team makes the company 

well able to carry out nearly any job 

required – big or small. Whether painting 

and decorating a single room or a large 

commercial or office site, or fixing ridge 

lines, replacing tiles, putting up or replacing 

spouting and downpipes, David project 

manages every job, and assures the quality 

of work is top notch. 

Keeping your house maintained is 

essential to living comfortably and 

keeping its value. Christchurch Building 

& Decorating’s extensive list of services 

also includes plastering, tiling, decking, 

concrete pathways and brickwork. General 

building and renovation work is also no 

problem, as are roofing requirements, 

whether repairs or a complete re-roof. 

“We work hard to ensure every project we 

undertake is completed quickly and with 

perfect results,” David says. 

A West Melton local, David believes in 

community and supports local causes and 

charities. The company’s Facebook page 

has lots of examples and photos of the 

projects that have been completed to the 

greatest satisfaction of his clients. 

If you require a small alteration or a 

total renovation, a feature wall painted 

or the whole house inside and out, or any 

other job, contact David via the Facebook

SELWYN TIMES 

The laundry – a 

multipurpose space 

Whether it is tucked into the corner of 

the garage, incorporated into the scullery 

(more common than you might think) or 

is a dedicated room conveniently placed 

in the heart of a busy home, the laundry is 

used often, but often overlooked as to its 

functionality. A well thought out laundry 

can serve a number of needs, such as 

storing those less used but necessary items, 

whether tennis racquets or even garden 

tools, or for washing and bathing pets. 

The main purpose of the laundry is to 

house the washing machine and dryer and 

all things related – ironing board, laundry 

basket and hampers as well as plenty of 

bench space. 

When it comes to the machinery, like 

other appliances, there are many choices 

to suit particular needs. For most, washing 

machines are essential. Dryers not 

necessarily so, although they do provide a 

back-up in those extended periods of wet 

weather. 

With technology advancing as to energy 

efficiency and ease of use and convenience, 

and with brands and specifications to 

dazzle, the main question for consumers 

these days is: side by side or stacked separate 

appliances, or a washer dryer combo? 

Washer dryer combos are the ultimate 

in convenience. Put clothes in, push 

buttons, take the clothes out later, dry and 

smelling good. Such convenience comes at 

somewhat of a price, but it may be a price 

you are willing to pay. Capacity tends to be 

less than conventional washers, and some 

models use huge amounts of water in the 

drying process. Models that don’t use 

water in the drying process tend to be very 

expensive. 

Running costs and performance are 

generally equivalent to conventional 

separate appliances and combo machines 

can be used independently so you have a 

normal washer, but still have a dryer backup 

in bad weather or when time is short. 

The combos’ footprint is smaller so they 

are great where space is short, especially as 

they don’t need to be vented externally. 

There are some clever ideas to make 

the laundry a multipurpose space. A 

retractable surface for folding; built-in 

clothing racks for airing clothes and drying 

delicates; a deep tub for bathing pets or 

washing large items such as the bbq plates; 

plenty of storage space for the overflow 

items from the kitchen and other things 

you will probably never use, but want to 

keep anyway. 

When designing a house, don’t overlook 

the laundry. With a bit of thought and 

research, it can be a very useful space. 

Many building companies specialise in 

renovating laundry spaces and will be able 

to give great advice. 

AUTUMN is here... 

so its a great time to start 

thinking about your new lawn.

Fast as, cheap 

as, sweet as 

Kiwigas’ owner Malcolm Ryder is proud 

to offer, “the best prices, and the best 

service” on gas bottle filling and delivery. 

“We have a great team of people prepared 

to go the extra mile,” he says. 

That is a winning formula. Whether it 

is an emergency delivery to a rural area, 

or providing rental outdoor heaters for 

entertaining, the Kiwigas mission is to 

provide a honest, good service at a great 

price. 

Locally owned and operated, the team 

at Kiwigas are friendly and efficient. It will 

be Jody or Malcolm who answer the phone 

and you won’t be passed around to several 

operators before talking to the “right 

person”. They know their stuff. 

At Kiwigas there are not contracts. That 

means you are not locked into a long-term 

commitment with the promise of something 

cheap up front that actually turns out to be 

expensive. With Kiwigas, the service and 

the price speak for themselves and that is 

what keeps customers coming back. 

With at least five vehicles on the road 

delivering 9kg and 45kg gas bottles 

to residences 

and businesses, 

quick delivery is 

assured. The team 

are respectful 

of properties 

and instructions 

– particularly 

important for rural 

deliveries – and 

receive lots of praise 

from customers to 

confirm that. 

You can order 

gas online at www. 

kiwigas.co.nz and 

have it delivered, usually within 24 hours, 

or you can get gas bottles filled, from 

2.5kg to 45kg at the drive-thru facility 

at 37 Shands Rd, Hornby. They supply 

beverage gases, too, and commercial LPG. 

If you drop into the Shands Rd property, 

be sure to say hi to Floyd, the white boxer 

with a heart shaped patch. He’s almost as 

friendly as Malcolm. 

“Fast as, cheap as, sweet as” – that’s the 

goal at Kiwigas.

Gardening 




Time to get your garlic growing 

IN THE PAST, May has been 

regarded as the beginning of 

winter, especially in cooler parts 

of the country, however these 

days temperatures can fluctuate 

quite dramatically. 

Daylight hours are shorter, 

frosts will be occurring in central 

and southern regions, but regardless 

of the temperatures, it is 

time for winter gardening tasks 

to commence. 

TASTE: May is the recommended month for planting garlic. It should sprout in three weeks. 

excellent selection for planting. 

In the vege patch 

Harvest vegetables that were 

planted in mid-to-late summer. 

This includes artichoke 

(Jerusalem), beetroot, broccoli, 

brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, 

carrots, celery, leeks, 

onions, parsnips, potatoes, silver 

beet and turnips. For continuity 

of harvesting, keep planting 

seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower, 

broccoli, spinach and silverbeet. 

You can also sow seeds of broad 

beans, onions, peas, radish and 

spinach directly into the soil. 

May is the recommended 

month for planting garlic. Cloves 

should be planted 40mm deep 

and 60mm apart. They should 

sprout around three to four 

weeks after planting. 

In areas of your vege garden 

where there are no winter vegetables 

growing, sow green manure 

crops eg; lupins and mustard. 

They should be dug into the soil 

in late winter/early spring and 

will improve the organic content 

of your soil. 

Strawberries 

May is the traditional month 

for planting new strawberry 

plants. Prepare the soil thoroughly; 

add compost. Create 

mounds 200mm above soil 

level to ensure good drainage 

and early warming of the soil in 

spring. Plant into the mounds at 

150-200mm apart. 

Flower garden 

Annuals 

Add fresh compost to your 

flower beds before planting out 

your winter flowering annuals. 

Varieties to plant include Alyssum, 

Aquilegia, Calendulas, Cineraria, 

Cornflowers, Larkspur, 

Pansies, Primulas, Stock, Violas 

and Wallflowers. 

Perennials 

As most perennials are dormant 

this time of the year, it’s a 

good time to divide them where 

they have become overcrowded 

or move them to another part 

of the garden. Garden Centres 

now have stock of new seasonal 

perennials so there will be an 

Fruit trees 

It’s pruning time for pip and 

stone fruit trees including; 

apples, apricots, nectarines, 

peaches and plums. Grapes can 

also be pruned, however wait 

until you have harvested your 

kiwifruit before pruning vines. 

Roses 

Amazingly, in warmer areas, 

some roses are still flowering 

such as; Icebergs and Graeme 

Thomas. However, in cooler 

areas where leaves have fallen, 

plants can be pruned. Apply a 

winter spray of a copper compound 

to help prevent typical 

rose diseases reappearing in 

spring. New roses will be in garden 

centres towards the end of 

May. Chose new specimens carefully, 

noting which ones perform 

best in your area. 

Ornamental trees and 

shrubs 

New stock is beginning to 

appear in your local plant shops, 

especially camellias. If you are 

planning a new garden or adding 

new ornamental trees or shrubs 

to an existing one, always allow 

enough room for individual 

specimens to grow to maturity. 

Prepare the site well for plantings, 

ensuring there is enough 

drainage so roots do not become 

waterlogged. 

Lawns 

Growth will now be slowing 

and low-lying lawns will begin 

to become saturated. Install 

additional drainage coil where 

required and before your lawn 

becomes too wet. 

Hedges 

Final tidy up time for your 

hedges. Do not undertake major 

trimming as there will be little or 

no new growth until spring. 

Keep up to date with landscaping 

LANDSCAPING IS a wonderful 

pastime enjoyed by many. 

It provides a natural beauty 

and needs no ornaments or other 

attractive items to help achieve 

its magnificence. What it does 

need, however, is a little TLC from 

you and great ideas to keep the 

landscape design ever changing 

and up to date. 

Landscape design is an art that 

not only gives you the freedom to 

express yourself, but also makes 

your home more beautiful and 

inviting. There are many methods 

of landscape design to explore. You 

can trim your hedges or bushes in 

a decorative manner. For instance, 

you may want to cut every other 

hedge a foot shorter than the next 

to produce a rolling effect. 

You could also put a large 

decorative fountain in the middle 

of your yard. This is a costly 

option but, if you can afford it, 

looks gorgeous. 

If you are considering landscape 

design, or have already dabbled in 

it a bit, you know the importance 

of working with an experienced 

landscaper. 

For information on finding a 

professional in your area, check

two vehicles crashed in January. 

He was one of eight people hurt

two others were moderately injured 

and four had minor injuries. 

In February, a sport utility vehicle

minor injuries. 

Thr e other crashes that resulted

Selwyn Property SEPTEMBER 20 

Selling your property? 

First impressions count, 

get rid of the clutter. 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter is one of the keys to selling property 

fast and at a good price. Good storage systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter. 

Good storage ideas are abundant and 

all manner of products are available 

to make homes more minimalistic. 

While it’s nice to buy your storage from 

designer homewares stores, the likes 

of The Warehouse and Kmart sell many 

simple products for masking clutter. 

Fabric storage cubes are a great start 

for disguising the clutter. They fit neatly 

into shelves and wardrobes and thanks 

to competition from the big department 

stores, can cost $10 or less each. You’ll 

also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven and 

metal baskets for a song. 

Another clever idea, is to 

buy a cheap set of melamine 

shelves for use in your 

wardrobe. A set of shelves 

does much the same job as 

an expensive wardrobe fit 

out. You can move the shelf 

heights to accommodate 

shoes and boots. It looks 

good, but costs little. 

Another wardrobe 

organisation is a Wardrobe 

Starter Kit from Hardware 

stores. While you’re there, 

check out bicycle storage hooks as well. 

As well as being practical, storage 

products can make a design statement. 

The important thing is to be consistent. 

don’t, for example, buy storage cubes 

in different colours. If you’re looking for 

really clever home storage ideas take 

a tip from the tiny home movement. 

Catherine Foster who wrote Small House 

Living, downsized her life to under 90sqm 

and has interviewed Kiwis who live in 

architecturally designed homes of that 

size or smaller. 

Each and every house in 

Foster’s book uses storage 

effectively to tame their 

belongings. Some have done 

it on the smell of an oily rag, 

sometimes buying pre-cut heavy 

duty plywood that only has to be screwed 

together, she says. 

Garages and lofts are house vendors’ 

friends. The garage is one of the few 

places in the house that buyers won’t 

be put off by a little extra stuff, but the 

more that can be hidden away in stacked 

crates the better. Consider using flat pack 

cupboards that can be taken with you. 

“The most effective way of using these is 

to find a wall where the whole area can be 

covered floor to ceiling,” 

“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level 

if you’re handy, or get a handyman in for 

a few hours, but make sure it is excluded 

from the list of chattels on the sale 

agreement.” 

Loft spaces are often wasted space 

in Kiwi homes. A relatively cheap way to 

open up the space is to install a loft ladder. 

You will be amazed at what people use 

the additional storage space for, once 

they’ve installed it. 

Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just 

limited to the interior of the house, garage 

and loft. The Warehouse, Mitre 10 & other 

hardware stores sell garden storage to 

hide away things usually left outside. 

Foldable garden storage boxes that cost 

from around $99 can be used to store 

garden tools, outdoor cushions and pool 

paraphernalia. The next step up is a cheap 

garden shed for around $200 upwards 

from Mitre 10, Bunnings Warehouse and 

other stores. 

Finally, if you’re looking for more 

inspiration Google “storage ideas”, search 

the same on Pinterest, or check out books 

on the subject from your local library. You’ll 

be amazed at how many everyday items 

can be repurposed for storage at the same 

time as adding design excellence to your 

home.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Wallpaper – 

expressions of 

personality 

Wallpaper is once again chic. Some may argue that 

it never went out of fashion but either way, walls that 

more recently have been painted, or at best adorned 

with plain style and soft coloured wallpaper, are 

suddenly sporting bright colours and bold patterns. 

Adorning walls is nothing new. Forms of it date 

back 40,000 years but it wasn’t until the invention of 

paper, around 100 AD in China, and its applications 

developed in Renaissance Europe, the introduction 

of what would be recognised today as “wallpaper” 

is seen. Before then, large tapestries were used to 

brighten up walls and to some degree act as insulation, 

but these were very expensive and only the superwealthy 

could afford them. By the late 1700s, the 

only mildly-wealthy could suddenly afford the newly 

invented, patterned paper that was being pasted to 

walls all over Britain and France. 

Wallpaper arrived in America in the late 1800s and 

large panoramic scenes were fashionable. As printing 

technologies advanced, wallpaper became one of the 

most popular household items in the western world. 

Fast forward to the modern homes of today – plain 

is out, bold is in. These days, so much of a home is an 

expression of personality – a statement that defines, or 

re-defines, a space. Wallpaper is part functional, part 

artistic. 

Big florals, industrial textures, geometric patterns, 

tropical themes, pop art, and stripes are all popular. 

Browse the Resene library (www.resene.co.nz) and 

other suppliers’ websites such as Aspiring Walls 

(www.aspiringwalls.co.nz) and you very quickly see 

the variety of wall coverings available. Children’s 

themes, graffiti walls, retro throwbacks – some with 

a contemporary twist – the possibilities are nearly 

endless. You can even design your own, unique 

wallpaper using one of your own photos, or chose one 

from a gallery of options, have it printed, delivered, 

and hang it yourself. Or perhaps call in an expert to do 

it. Phillip J. Fisher (021 228 2889) or David Clearwater 

(027 480 0967) are two such local tradesmen who are 

able to do it. 

One way to see some fantastic examples of new 

trends in wallpaper is to visit some of the show homes 

in Selwyn. The wallpapers pictured are on walls in 

Peter Ray Homes, Today Homes and Trident Homes, 

Faringdon show homes. 

Children’s themes, graffiti walls, 

retro throwbacks – some with 

a contemporary twist – the 

possibilities are nearly endless.

Looking for a property – what really counts? 

You are in the market for a new 

property, scrolling the Internet, 

examining properties for sale and 

zeroing in on those with potential. They 

might be in locations that offer cheaper 

land, larger houses, or convenience to 

work or school. 

You may have visited show homes 

and open homes becoming confused, 

overwhelmed or swept away with 

emotional factors like having 

everything new, or extra features such 

as three car garaging. 

To be happy with your choice, list the 

features that you need, considering: 

• Family space – Is there room for 

the children to play indoors and for 

television and entertainment units? 

Should this be open plan or separated? 

• Kitchen – What needs to be in 

your kitchen? How serious are you 

about a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim 

or something that offers a practical 

solution to the way you use your 

kitchen? 

• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum 

sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate 

to slightly lower building costs while 

extra space can be useful. When 

looking at existing homes, consider 

whether the size of each bedroom is 

sufficient. 

• Garaging – A standard double 

garage once two cars are parked there 

offers little space for the toys. What 

toys do you have and could they live 

with the lawnmower in a garden shed, 

a cheaper option to three car garaging? 

If the budget allows and a larger garage 

with workshop is important, make it a 

selection priority. 

• Size of land – Lifestyle properties 

offer space for children, pets, hobbies, 

an expansive garden and perhaps a 

home-run business but they require 

work so are not for everyone and a 

compact section might be more sensible 

if a tight budget or busy lifestyle. 

• Bathrooms – Second and third 

bathrooms are great in homes with 

teenagers and a wet shower room is 

ideal for young children. A bath might 

be fashionable though is often not used 

and its absence could mean a more 

spacious bathroom. 

• Laundry – Would a laundry in the 

garage do the job? 

• Storage – How much storage do 

you need? Weigh up what can truly be 

stored in the garage once vehicles are 

in, a preference in winter. Garages vary 

in size so check the size to ensure your 

vehicles will fit. Look also at where 

else the house offers storage capacity 

such as in hall cupboards, a large hot 

water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes 

(check their width and depth), walkin 

robe, attic storage trusses, as well as 

the potential for hooks and shelving 

in the garage for bikes, tools, garden 

equipment and even kayaks. 

• Off-street parking – How many 

vehicles can be parked on the driveway? 

Will this space be sufficient? 

• Garden - Is there sufficient space 

for your children to play or for 

entertaining? 

A checklist will allow you to determine 

what will suit your needs, the point of 

the exercise, saving you time looking at 

properties or potential house designs 

while assisting you to decide whether 

to buy a new or existing home with 

both options having advantages and 

disadvantages.
