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 (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
• By Emily O’Connell
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
• By Emily O’Connell
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
good, it could have some serious
repercussions.”

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

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

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.

After reading the article, I think
the council is on the right track.
People get pigs, thinking they

anything but they grow big and
smell. Maybe we could extend
this kind of revenue gathering to
everything, cats, dogs, kids. Now

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.

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

College’s new

Bass (centre,

MARTIN
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.

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.

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

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

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.

Selwyn para-swimmer
breaks world butterfly
record in Ashburton
THERE’S BEEN more good
news for Selwyn Swim Club
para-swimmer Celyn Edwards.
A fortnight after being given
the Gold Heart Scholarship
from youth charity, Variety,
the talented swimmer has
gone 10sec under the S8 200m
butterfly record at a meeting in
Ashburton over the weekend.
His time of 2min 26.60sec was
not an official record because
the meet was not internationally
recognised, but it a promising
sign as he targets more national
meets and short-course
championships in the coming
months.
The Commonwealth Games
para-swimmer and his brother
Leuan, who is also an avid paraswimmer,
were both awarded
Gold Heart Scholarships earlier
this month,

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
image previews, the extrusion owned by Ultimate Design
and Renovation and experienced, fully qualified installers
who clean up after themselves, it is no surprise they have
a long list of happy clients, and a lot of repeat and referral
business.

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.

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.

One stop building and
decorating
Sometimes, getting tradespeople on site,
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

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.

and give you a free quotation!

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

HOME PROFESSIONALS
SELWYN TIMES
A passion for
landscaping
Now is the best time to consider what needs to be done
around the outdoors at your home. Revive Landscaping
is just the team to make those considerations a lot
easier. Ross Legg owns the business and has 20 years of
experience in landscape gardening. Whether you are
planning on putting your house on the market soon or
in spring, or if you want to create a bit of an oasis for
summer, right now is the time to get it going. It will
then be well ready when the warmer months arrive.
Revive is a passionate team. It offers a range of
landscaping services, from a general tidy up to a fully
rejuvenated yard, seeded grass and ready lawn, raised
garden beds, and the construction of paths, patios, and
pergolas.
Ross, George, and Lucas also pride themselves on
being a small, friendly team. They like to focus on
getting the job done right first time, and many satisfied
customers attest that they achieve it. They have worked
on a huge variety of home garden projects, and enjoy
creating a new masterpiece every time. Commercial
landscape design projects include No4 Bar in Merivale,
and McDonalds Rolleston.
Once the landscaping and garden design is complete,
maintaining it is often a task made difficult with busy
schedules so for a reasonable cost, Ross and the team
will establish a maintenance programme that will keep
your yard looking its best year round.
“We have a real passion for what we do,” Ross
says. Christchurch and Rolleston based, the Revive
Landscaping team are ready right now to create a
new landscape design, or to restore and rejuvenate
your tired or overgrown yard with native and exotic
plantings, hedges, topiaries, garden sculptures,
pathways and more.
A call to Ross now will assure your outdoor area
is ready for sale, or is picturesque for entertaining
or just relaxing, when spring and summer come
around. Contact Ross at 027 222 0388 or via the
website at www.revivelandscaping.co.nz

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
out the internet.

suggests two paint mediums, it

different kinds of art—painting
and pottery. Featuring works by

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.
