Jacinda Ardern’s

big thank you to

West Melton

West Melton School pupils Cam and Max have been sent a thank you letter and photo from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The

year 3 pupils sent Ms Ardern hand-made cards on coloured paper with personal messages and name suggestions, as well as

one large card with a class photo on the front, congratulating her on the safe arrival of her baby, Neve. The pupils were happy

to receive the letter as they had never received a personal letter from a prime minister before. Said Ms Ardern: “I absolutely

loved them, and had so much fun looking at all the brilliant drawings and notes you included (even the envelope was beautifully

decorated).” Ms Ardern said during a Facebook live video on Sunday she was “roughly a week out from being officially back on

deck, give or take”.

DISTRICT COUNCILLOR Jeff Bland gives

a great insight into quarrying on page 4

today.

Quarrying is what it is. You cut into the

land for material; you need heavy machinery

and vehicles; and often there is blasting. So it is noisy, dusty

and when it is wet, muddy.

Anyone living nearby cops the problems.

Coming soon is a battle between Templeton and Weedons

residents living close to the planned Fulton Hogan quarry.

It will bring all of the problems mentioned above.

In his column, Bland gives a great example of how a quarry

affected one family’s life.

If the quarry in Templeton is to be stopped from causing the

same issues to many others, there will need to be a number of

The backstory of

T he A natomy of M elancholy • P art i: I dentity

by

Simon van der Sluijs

*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause.

**Identity: the fact of being who or what a person or thing is.

I have always been fascinated by trying to visualise human nature, who are we, what

drives us, what moves us, and my personal experiences were more than enough to

explore. A trilogy to allow myself to create a deeper narrative to be more universal

and existential rather than being just about me. I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’

because I feel that it best represents my work and the person I am. Part 1 is about

identity because to me it is the source of melancholy and so that is where the trilogy

needs to start. It shows drawings, paintings and small objects.

Generally the work on show deals with the desire to belong, to be allowed to be, through

confirmation of our fellow beings, and of getting damaged in the process.

There are two separate sections within the exhibition: ‘Little Sorrows’ and ‘Intimacies’

Little Sorrows

Our pets contribute to our identity. Inevitably having a pet also means that the day will

come we have to farewell it ‘Little Sorrows’ is what can happen when we can’t let go

and try to either recreate the friend we were so fond of or make an effort in taxidermy

to preserve through small paintings of mice, hamsters and goldfish and faux taxidermy

objects, mainly in ‘museum boxes’ and under bell jars.

Intimacies (Explicit content)

Sexual identity is the way we think of ourselves in relationship to whom we are

romantically or sexually attracted to. Growing up in a Catholic environment sexuality was

definitely not a topic of discussion or acknowledged as an important part of being. This is

the reason I have made these paintings so small, they fit in a locket and can therefore be

‘locked away’ only to be enjoyed in a private atmosphere.

Part 1 Identity August 2018, Part 2 Dissectum April 2019 and Part 3 Lost and Found

November 2019. All shown at Little River Gallery.

Cattle banned from

school pet days due to M. bovis

• By Emily O’Connell

CATTLE HAVE been banned

from attending some Selwyn

school pet days in a bid to stop

the spread of mycoplasma bovis.

Ellesmere College, Leeston

Consolidated School, Southbridge

School and Ladbrooks

School have all taken a stand

against the cattle disease.

In March, the Government

signed off on the culling of

thousands of animals in a bid to

eradicate the disease.

The Ellesmere Agricultural

Science and Technology club

runs the annual pet day for

Leeston Consolidated School,

Southbridge School and year 7

and 8s students from Ellesmere

College.

Club president Jo Benny said

there will be no cattle on site

during its pet day on November

2, but there may be an electronic

solution.

“I have signed up to a Facebook

page that are looking to

start an online calf club, so kids

can still present their pet calves,

just electronically,” she said.

Mrs Benny said it was “bound

by” the Ellesmere A & P Show’s

decision not to have cattle, as it

holds its pet days at the showgrounds.

In spite of the ban, Ladbrooks

School is hopeful judges may be

able to visit each property and

assess the cattle individually.

On Friday, the number of

active infected properties with

mycoplasma bovis in Canterbury

was 19, said a Ministry for

Primary Industries report.

Ellesmere A & P Show

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019

president Trevor Hobson said it

made the call to ban cattle as the

disease is present in Selwyn and

it cannot risk spreading it any

further.

“It was a commonsense

decision. There will be

no backlash from it. It is

disappointing to see it happen,

but it was the sensible decision to

make,” Mr Hobson said.

He was uncertain as to how

long it would be until the show

would accept cattle entries again.

However, cattle classes will

be included in November’s

Canterbury A & P Show.

Show staff said it is

exploring measures to limit

the risk of mycoplasma bovis

contamination.

More than 50 cattle breeders

and show staff attended an

exhibitors meeting recently, with

the majority indicating they

were willing to show stock at the

New Zealand Agricultural Show

2018.

Your Local Views

Keep quarries away from residents

District

councillor

Jeff Bland

writes about

his opinion on

quarrying

RECENTLY I received an

email, which read “as our

elected representative what is

your personal view about the

quarry that Fulton Hogan wish

to establish at the corner of

Dawsons and Curraghs Rds, near

Templeton?”

Before I share with you my

reply I will tell you a little bit

about me.

A fair while ago I worked for

a large organisation that owned

and operated a number of

quarries. The stone from these

quarries was used in river work

and stop bank protection.

I was young and working in

this environment was exciting.

Quarries were noisy, dusty and

dangerous. I loved handling the

explosives, operating the drilling

rigs and jackhammers.

It was hard dirty work but well

paid and rewarding.

The biggest quarry we worked

was a huge towering cliff, not

benched, nearly 125m in height.

It was in a rural farmland

environment.

OPINION: District councillor Jeff Bland writes about why he

believes quarries “must be” located well away from existing

houses.

Unfortunately, there was one

house located about 200m from

the quarry entrance. The owner

of this house we will call Mr

Smith.

It would be fair to say that Mr

Smith hated us quarry workers

for very good reason. His home

was constantly exposed to the

stone dust drifting out of the

quarry.

He was tortured by the

incessant hammering of

the drilling rig and the jack

hammers. The noise of trucks

grinding their way out to the

weighbridge, then to the quarry

entrance directly opposite his

front gate was relentless.

His children trudging home

from school had to walk through

the often wet grass, the roads

were busy, the trucks large and

often overloaded.

If this wasn’t bad enough,

after one quarry blast, a piece

of granite the size of a football

crashed through the roof of his

house.

Mr Smith often used to stand

opposite the quarry shaking his

fist and cursing us.

The boss said to ignore him

as he was just a bit nuts. Back

then if you stood in the way of

progress you were belittled. Mr

Smith was just one voice and the

quarry owners were many.

The quarry has been closed

for many years now. Mr Smith’s

house may still have the

mismatched sheet of corrugated

iron on the roof.

The rivers are confined by the

stop banks, the farmers have

prospered and everyone has

forgotten what happened.

But I haven’t. I see the

similarities to the Templeton

situation. Small man versus large

company shareholders wanting

to maximise its profit.

The noise, the dust, the trucks

grinding their way from the

quarry floor onto roads not

designed for their size or weight,

kids walking in the grass. The

company employees are just

doing their job. I accept that

we need gravel for roads. It is

progress, but progress comes

at a cost not usually borne by

company shareholders.

Now getting back to my reply.

I am of the opinion that quarries

must be located well away from

existing houses.

In this case, there will no

doubt be arguments put forward

by those promoting the quarry

and those opposing it.

I suspect that this will end

up going through a hearing

process and a commissioner

will be appointed to listen to

both arguments. It will be in this

forum that the matter will be

decided. However, don’t underestimate

the power of public

opinion. Those that are worried

about the location of this quarry

should voice their concern, stand

united. Public opinion may well

influence the outcome.

Don’t be like Mr Smith,

shaking your fist and cursing

the workers once the quarry is

operating will be pointless.

•This is my opinion only

and should not be construed

as an opinion of the district

council

FLAIR FOR FASHION: Kim and Paul Strange are looking forward to seeing their design on stage

at the World of Wearable Art awards.

Designers on world stage


DOYLESTON designer Loretta

Sloan and Prebbleton couple Kim

and Paul Strange are finalists

in the World of Wearable Art

awards.

About 60,000 people are

expected to attend WOW’s 30th

season in Wellington from September

27 to October 14.

Mrs Strange, who is the driving

force behind Art Couture

NZ’s wearable arts competition,

said their design was based on

the sense of sight and incorporates

recyclable materials.

She said her husband, who

works in information technology,

brought a practical aspect to

their team, while she’s the creative

influence.

“It’s been really good and it’s

actually been really cool doing it

together,” Mrs Strange said.

She said it took them about

six months to put the design

together, working in their spare

time.

They were looking forward to

travelling up to Wellington to see

their design on the stage.

“We’ve already talked about

more that we will do together,”

Mrs Strange said.

Mrs Sloan is also happy to have

her work displayed on a world

stage.

She has been entering the competition

since 2010 and says this

year’s piece came from the heart

and was a “tribute to a family

member.”

Mrs Sloan said the design

took a couple of months to put

together, including testing and

samples.

“The last month was manic,

Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall,

was “fantastic.”

“It’s the sort of services our

for a long time,” he said.

Mr Lyall said some Prebbleton

residents might be a “little negative”

about it but on the whole,

people will be supportive.

In February, resource consent

was granted for a major

redevelopment of the Prebbleton

include retail, health, a cinema,

CHANGES: The district council will build a fence in the Rolleston dog park

within the next few weeks.

Fence to separate club

and public at dog park


A FENCE will be built at the Rolleston

dog park so part of it can be closed off to

the public at certain times.

The fence will separate off the area used

by the Selwyn Dog Training Club.

The district council is behind the idea,

which will take place at the

Foster Park Dog Exercise Area

on the corner of Springston,

Rolleston and Goulds Rds.

District council major projects

property manager John

Reid said the fence is a result

of complaints from people

about training sessions being

difficult to conduct when other

dogs are running through the

area.

“Public dog owners are also

finding it hard to supervise

their dogs without interrupting

dog training,” he said.

The Selwyn Dog Training Club uses

the park on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and

Thursdays from 6.30-9pm, on Sundays

from 10am-noon and on the occasional

weekend for competitions.

Mr Reid said the exact size of the fence

has not been decided, but design work

should be completed in the next few

weeks.

“The total area of the proposed fenced

area will be less than half the dog park,”

he said.

Although the district council is still

John Reid

waiting on final quotes for the fence,

Mr Reid said it’s expected to cost about

$5000-$7000.

“This cost has been budgeted for in the

council forward budgets,” he said.

Mr Reid said the fence will be a

permanent structure. However, it is

described as “temporary” because it will

have a number of large gates

that will be left open, except

when the club is running a

training session.

“For the vast majority of

the time, the whole park will

continue to be available for use

by the general public,” he said.

Rolleston resident Mark

Melhuish and his dogs use the

park twice daily. He said the

district council’s decision to

build a fence in the park was “a

little bit ridiculous.”

“By cutting the park in half,

you’re not actually able to run your dogs at

a full speed across the park really,” he said.

Mr Melhuish said with Rolleston’s growing

population, the club should look at an

alternative facility.

“You’re ruining a perfectly good park for

the sake of a minority group,” he said.

However, Mr Reid said the district

council supports the club’s activities in the

park. “It was this club that originally advocated

for the dog park, which it believed

could be used by both the club and the

general public,” he said.

Katelyn Twiss

Ellesmere teenager thriving in

Although only 15-years-old, Leeston’s Katelyn Twiss has taken on

leadership roles at Ellesmere College, the Selwyn Youth Council

and Students Against Dangerous Driving. Emily O’Connell talks

to her about balancing school work with her busy lifestyle

Can you tell me about

the different things you are

involved in?

I’m on the Selwyn Youth

Council, I’m actually the deputy

chair. I’m a national leader for

SADD, which is Students

Against Dangerous Driving. I

play rugby on Wednesdays for

the Forward Foundation. The

Forward Foundation allows us

to play because there’s a mixture

of different schools which don’t

have enough for one team so

we just combine and play on

Wednesdays. It’s good, there’s

only about four of us from Ellesmere

who play. I’m also a prefect

at school.

Can you tell me about

speaking at the Local

Government New Zealand

conference in Christchurch

recently?

It was so exciting because it

was just such a big platform to

be able to speak at and to be able

to represent the youth council at

such a high level and talk about

what we’ve done was honestly

such an honour. I found it more

exciting than nerve-racking.

Did you feel nervous at all?

Yes I did a little bit. I think I

was just more nervous because

I just didn’t want to muck up on

stage, but then by the end of the

day, my excitement contained

my nerves so it was really good.

Who were you most excited to

meet at the conference?

We didn’t get to see everyone

because it was a three-day event

and we were only there for our

session. Mark Sainsbury was the

host, it was pretty cool to meet

him.

What did you take away from

the experience?

Definitely public speaking

skills and just to be confident

and just get up there and speak

because it was a once in a lifetime

experience.

How long have you played

rugby?

I’ve been playing rugby my

whole life. So I started when I

was young. I started playing with

the guys when I was five-yearsold,

and then when I hit year 9,

I transitioned from playing on

weekends, because I got too old

to playing on Wednesdays for

school.

Is rugby your favourite sport?

One of them, yeah. I really

like basketball as well but I don’t

play it.

Do you play any other

sports?

No.

How did you get involved

in SADD?

Last year I attended one

of their local events at

the Selwyn council

building. I was

like “oh, I will

go along,

it will be

good to

get it going in school.” From

there that progressed to going

to the conference last

year, which was held in

Christchurch, and then

there were a few of

us at school who

said, ‘right, let’s do

some activities

around SADD at

school’ because it

had kind of been

a bit absent in our

school for a while.

The other students

were year

13 so this year I

was really keen to

go to the conference

again and try

get SADD going

in school because I

think it’s just such a

good organisation. The

national leadership

programme is open to

year 12 students so I

thought why not just

go for it? Because

it’s such a good

thing to be involved

with

and I just

really

wanted

to be involved

and

help

at a

national level with SADD, rather

than just within my school. So

I applied for it and I was really

fortunate to get in.

How did you come to

be deputy prefect at just

15-years-old?

I just love getting involved in

anything to do with whanau

spirit in school. And this year

there was an opening for a year

12 student to be a deputy prefect.

They asked me and I said why

not? Then I was lucky enough to

get the position as well.

How did you feel when you

were announced as deputy

prefect?

I wasn’t at school as I was on a

geography field trip, but I when

got the news I was really happy.

Does being involved in a lot

of different activities get too

much sometimes?

Definitely, because I always put

school work first so, especially

now in year 12, it can get quite

overwhelming sometimes. I also

do admin work on Tuesdays

and Thursdays after school

at Cochranes of Canterbury

in Leeston. So it gets quite

overwhelming sometimes, but I

have good support around me.

I have a really great family who

are always keen to help me out

and are always there for me and

a really great group of friends.

When did you join the Selwyn

Youth Council?

When I was in year 10, I went

on a youth leadership weekend,

which I just saw an ad in the

newspaper for, and I was like

“sweet, I’ll just go for it.” And

then I got accepted into that and

it was run by the youth council,

and it was sort of introducing us

to leadership, which I think was

really cool. In year 11, so

last year, we had to apply the

year before, I applied for it and

I was really fortunate to get in

as well. It’s a two-year term so

this is my second year on youth

council.

Will you apply again next

year?

Definitely. It’s been such a

rewarding experience for me.

Whitecliffs

loses identity

to Glentunnel

INSPIRATION: Selwyn Youth Council deputy chairwoman Katelyn Twiss (right) looks up to her

friend and chairwoman Paige Sullivan.

What has been the most

rewarding project you’ve been

involved in?

Probably the Selwyn Link bus

trial, which is what we’re doing at

the youth council at the moment.

So it’s been a two-year process

and we’re finally coming towards

the end part. We’ve had the trial

for the bus between Southbridge

and Darfield and Darfield to

Southbridge via Rolleston, and

now we are finally in a position

where we can do something

about it.

How do you balance school

work with everything else going

on?

I think I just have to make sure

that I always know what is going

on and I just have to plan ahead.

So with assessments and stuff, I

have to make sure I know when

they are due and I always have

time set aside for them and I just

make sure I get them done.

What would you like to do

when you finish high school?

I really want to do a law degree

and where I go from that, I’m

not quite that sure, but I want a

career involved in law.

Why law?

I don’t really have an exact

reason why, I’ve always just

gravitated towards stuff

surrounding it. I find it really

interesting and I want to explore

it more as I grow older.

What’s your favourite thing

to do to relax?

Listen to music. I just love

listening to music and just

chilling out. Sometimes I play

on my guitar a bit and hanging

out with friends and going to

the gym as well I find that quite

relaxing.

Are you quite musical?

I used to be really heavily

involved in singing when I was

younger but now it’s more of a

hobby, I just sing and play the

guitar when I have time.

Do you have any siblings?

I do. I have twin sisters, Laura

and Emma, who are 19-yearsold.

They both live in Dunedin

and one studies at Otago

University and one studies at the

polytechnic in Otago.

Who do you look up to?

My friend Paige Sullivan,

who is the chair of the youth

council. I think she inspired me

to get involved in a lot of things

because she did that herself.

It’s really rewarding having her

as a friend but also someone I

can look up to and see all the

amazing things she does and

then it motivates me to get

involved in anything I can.

What is your favourite subject

at school and why?

Oh, that’s a tough one.

Surprisingly, I actually really

like geography, I’m finding it

really good this year. I do love

english because it allows you to

be perceptive so you can relate

things to the real world.

What has been the most

valuable lesson you’ve learnt?

I think just be yourself. When

I’m just myself, I feel really

good and I know that I’m

being true to myself and it can

sometimes reflect on other

people as well.

FIRE OFFICERS in

Wellington have upset

residents living in Whitecliffs

by telling them they live in

Glentunnel.

Concern has been raised

Whitecliffs is losing its

identity and people could get

confused over the township’s

official address.

The issue was brought to

the Whitecliffs Township

Committee by resident Mike

Ransome.

Mr Ransome told Selwyn

Times he has been pushing for

the issue to be resolved for the

past eight months and hasn’t

got anywhere.

“It irks me because I feel

Whitecliffs is losing its identity.

It would be like people

living in West Melton being

told they suddenly live in

Christchurch,” he said.

A Fire and Emergency New

Zealand spokesman said it

has received a request from

the district council to add

Whitecliffs to the New Zealand

Localities Dataset.

It is currently considering

this request.

The spokesman confirmed

properties in Whitecliffs are

presently classified as Glentunnel.

The data set is maintained

by FENZ to reduce the risk

of confusion and, any consequent

delays in dispatching

crews to fires and other emergencies.

A New Zealand Post

spokeswoman said a creation

of a new locality of Whitecliffs

is being considered.

She said NZ Post was unable

to make any decisions

for this change without

agreement from a consortium

made up of FENZ, territorial

authorities and Land and

Information New Zealand.

Mr Ransome said he cannot

understand what the fire

service has to do with determining

the official addresses

in the first place.

“I object to some pen pusher

up there (Wellington) telling

me where I live,” he said.

Whitecliffs is currently

serviced by a rural driver in

Coalgate, and is included in

the locality of Glentunnel

meaning their address is

street number and name followed

by RD1 Coalgate.

But Coalgate chief fire officer

Phillip Shaw said when

the firecrew is dispatched to

the township, properties are

classified as Whitecliffs.

“We are not being confused.

We don’t have any issues with

it,” he said.

On Google Maps, the townships’

main road - Hartleys

Rd leading up to the Whitecliffs

Domain, falls under

Glentunnel.

Across the Selwyn River /

Waikirikiri, Riversleigh Rd,

Whitecliffs Rd and Flagpole

Rd is named Malvern Hills.

Township committee

chairwoman Jodie Thompson

said while she didn’t see the

township losing its identity,

it would be easier if the mail

address was Whitecliffs.

New life for old hotel building

Historian and district council staff member Wayne

Stack continues his monthly look at Selwyn’s past.

Anyone with suggestions for future features can

phone Wayne on 021 119 9107. This month’s feature

is on the restoration of White’s Courtenay Hotel

RESTORING A dilapidated,

heritage-listed building is not for

the faint-hearted. It takes vision,

imagination, money, patience,

hard work, ability to problemsolve

and, most of all, courage

and determination.

Local real estate agents Joe

and Tracey Brankin have

proven they have plenty of these

characteristics in restoring

White’s Courtenay Hotel, one of

the district’s oldest buildings.

The old hotel has significant

historical importance to the

district in that it was the earliest

centre of local government. The

East Rakaia and North East

Roads boards held their first ever

meeting (and subsequent meetings)

in the lounge of the hotel

in July 1865. These boards later

morphed into the Courtenay

Roads Board, the Malvern County

Council, and latter, the Selwyn

District Council. The building is

also the sole remaining dwelling

of a series of hotels and accommodation

houses – such as

the Halfway House Hotel near

Courtenay, the Miner’s Arms at

Halkett and the Clare Inch Hotel

at Little Racecourse Hill – which

had been established along the

Old West Coast Rd and have

long-since gone.

Although it has mostly been

used as a private residence, the

building was a purpose-built

hotel when erected by Charles

White in 1864. White had

previously established a smaller

hotel on the river flat near the

Courtenay punt to service those

crossing the Waimakariri River.

He subsequently built the larger

nine-bedroom, wooden weatherboard

hotel alongside what was

then the main West Coast Rd

to provide accommodation and

meals for the increasing volume

100%

CapItal GaIn

to the ResIDent

of travellers passing through to

the West Coast.

The hotel provided services

for the Cobb & Co horse-drawn

coaches and passengers from

1866 when the road over Arthur’s

Pass was opened. Officially

licensed as the Courtenay Hotel,

the establishment was commonly

known as White’s Hotel and it

served as a staging station where

the coaches changed horses. The

stables at the rear of the hotel

have long since gone.

The hotel became an important

centre for the community,

where a post office and telephone

exchange were eventually housed

within the building and local

meetings were regularly held in

the two lounges and tap room

(bar).

When Charles White died in

1869 his wife Mary Ann and

son, George, kept the business

going, but the days of the hotel

were numbered. The new railway

from Rolleston to Kirwee was

completed in 1871, which took

most of the traffic away from the

Old West Coast Rd. The growth

of Kirwee led to the demise of

businesses in Courtenay, which

included the hotel, along with a

store, a blacksmith, an Orange

Lodge Hall and a library. About

this time, the hotel license was

transferred to the Kirwee Hotel,

with White’s then becoming

a private residence. However,

the Post Office was retained in

the building until 1924, when it

closed.

In 1902, the property was

purchased by Jack Bedford and

remained in the family until

1994. By that time the building

had been unoccupied since 1963

and was derelict. An internal

chimney and one of the two sets

of stairs had collapsed, with the

weather and vandals adding to

the general deterioration of the

building.

As early as 1970, a local

newspaper reported the likely

destruction of the historically

significant building, as the owner

and the Historical Places Trust

were not in financial positions to

restore the property. At this time

prospective buyers were put off

by restrictive planning by-laws,

with the old Town and Country

Planning Act discouraging any

potential restoration.

However, in 1993 resource

consent to subdivide the land

and restore the building was

gained, resulting in the property

being purchased by John and

Diane Sugrue. Their initial vision

$1,000 FullY

ReFunDable

DeposIt

was to restore the building to

its original state and operate a

country bar and restaurant. Over

12 months, the couple cleared

the site of overgrown vegetation,

guttered the building interior

and exterior and prepared it for

restoration.

By 1995, the building was

weather-proof and to a lock-up

stage. However, it was not until

2007 that the interior framing,

wiring and water system installation

was completed. At this

stage, the exterior restoration

had been done, and in 2012 their

efforts were recognised when

they won the Heritage Restoration

category of the Canterbury

Heritage Awards.

The second stage of the restoration

came about when Joe and

Tracey Brankin purchased the

building in September 2014. Joe

had been asked to market the

property, but ended up buying

it himself for a family home. Joe

had grown up in the area and

became passionate about the potential

in the restoration project.

At this time, the interior only

consisted of a concrete floor and

some structural internal walls.

After discussions with

Heritage New Zealand and the

district council, the Brankins

quickly set about sympathetically

renovating the old hotel into

a comfortable modern home,

based on the original footprint

and incorporating existing features,

such as a hidden staircase

and the original second storey

floor and layout. A new main

staircase was built and several

internal walls were either moved

or taken out. Replacement Kauri

doors were installed and the

décor now includes lamp shades

and an old 1920s telephone that

are not only in keeping with

the character of the building,

but also are a reminder of its

past use. By December 2014, the

couple were able to move into the

old hotel, being the first residents

since 1963.

Joe and Tracey spent the

following year completing the

landscaping of the grounds in

character with the history of

the property, which includes

adornments such as wine barrels

and a horse-drawn cart and gig –

both more than 100-years-old.

Through their combined

efforts, the Brankins and

Sugrues have not only saved a

historic building from imminent

destruction, but have also

preserved for future generations

an increasingly rare physical

reminder of the district’s colonial

past.

Anyone considering restoring

a heritage-listed building should

contact Heritage New Zealand

and the district council for

advice and heritage funding

inquiries.

UNIQUE: Elite Meats owner Corey Winder parks up every

Thursday in Rolleston.

A MOBILE butcher has taken off

in Rolleston.

Elite Meats owner Corey

Winder has expanded his business

by setting up a moveable

butchery from a small truck.

Mr Winder, who has been a

butcher since he was 19-yearsold,

said the reaction has been

“amazing.”

“People have just been blown

away by it,” he said.

The idea for the mobile

butchery came from residents’

requests to have a shop in other

places, such as Rolleston and

West Melton.

“I thought, well, it’s not that

easy to open a butcher shop, so

I’ll see if I can get a mobile one

going,” Mr Winder said.

He is selling the same products

found in the Elite Meats store in

Bush Inn.

“If we haven’t got it on the

truck, then we take orders and

we take the order out of whatever

they want the following

week,” Mr Winder said.

In March, Mr Winder was

named in the all star team at the

World Butchers’ Challenge in

Northern Ireland. His team, the

Pure South Sharp Blacks, finished

second in the competition.

The mobile butcher will

be open outside the South

Point complex in Faringdon,

Rolleston, on Thursdays, from

2-6.30pm, and 9am-5.30pm

outside Vegeland on Marshland

Rd on weekends.

Jail for dog park crash driver

Convicted

killer gets

15 months

A CONVICTED killer who

crashed through the Rolleston

dog park fence after a high speed

chase has been jailed for 15

months.

John Oliver Jamieson, 31, was

sentenced on Thursday in the

Christchurch District Court on

driving charges and unlawful

possession of a .22 rifle and

ammunition found in the car at

the end of the June 2 incident.

Jamieson was jailed in 2009

for nine years for manslaughter

for the death of Wayne Kerry

Bray, who was kicked to death in

a group street assault in Timaru

the previous year.

He was also found guilty last

year of threatening to chop

his wife’s head off during an

argument over the telephone.

On Thursday, his lawyer Paul

Johnson said Jamieson had

written an “insightful” letter

of apology and accepted that

methamphetamine was the

issue for his rehabilitation. He

had already contacted Odyssey

House about the possibility of a

rehabilitation placement there.

But Judge Brian Callaghan said

the Court of Appeal had said

that the courts should impose

sentences that showed society’s

condemnation on those who had

firearms unlawfully.

Judge Callaghan said Jamieson

had been gravely affected by

PHOTO: BARRY CLARKE

the death of his mother last

year and his behaviour had

changed when he started using

methamphetamine again.

The court heard on June

2 Jamieson drove on State

Highway 1 towards Burnham, at

180km/h while overtaking other

cars in a passing lane.

Police followed him with

their sirens and lights on, but

he crossed the double yellow

lines into the south-bound lane

to overtake other north-bound

cars.

He remained on the wrong

side of the road until the end of

the passing lane, still travelling at

high speed.

He turned too fast into Tennyson

St, Rolleston, and went off

the road, across the grass area

of the BP service station, and

narrowly missed the KFC sign,

before going back on the road.

At the junction with Lowes

Rd he went onto the wrong

side of the road again, around a

roundabout the wrong way, hit

another car causing minor

damage, before leaving the road

and crashing into a dog park

fence.

Police found a firearm in

his car and charged him with

driving dangerously, driving

while disqualified, failing to stop

for police, driving recklessly,

driving carelessly, and unlawful

possession of a pistol – a sawn off

.22 rifle.

Jamieson pleaded guilty on

July 9 to charges of driving

dangerously, driving while

disqualified, failing to stop

for police, driving recklessly,

driving carelessly, and unlawful

possession of the rifle.

Judge Callaghan also imposed

18 months’ disqualification from

driving on top of his current

term – he won’t get his licence

back until May 2020.

The judge also ordered him

to pay $1035 reparations to the

Selwyn District Council for

the damage he did to the dog

park.

Will Springston Primary retain the Kea Trophy?

As Schools return to their hard work – Lincoln

Envirotown are hoping that many of them will

find some time to “Focus For Future” and

complete their productions to The Selwyn

Environmental Film Competition.

Last year it was won by a group of Springston

Primary students whose excellent puppet

eels showed us the threats they face in our

waterways.

The competition is open to all and we look

forward to entries from individuals, high

school groups, clubs and others as we have

seen in previous years.

It is an enjoyable way of doing one’s bit for

the Environment.

Any combination of animation, video or slides

can be used to deliver your environmental

message. Films which have been made for

other purposes can be entered providing

they satisfy the criteria of the competition.

Entries close on August 31st and the Awards

will be presented at an “Oscar like” ceremony

on Friday September 14th. All the films will be

shown and there are different category prizes

with the Kea Trophy as the ultimate goal.

We’re also seeking interest from cultural and ethnic art and

craft stalls as well as groups or agencies providing services and

activities for Selwyn residents and have something to offer our

newcomers and migrants.

One of the best parts of CultureFest is the amazing range of food

options. If you want to be a food vendor at CultureFest 2018, get in

touch. We want as many cultures as possible to be represented.

If this sounds like you, then please download the Registration of

Interest form from the Selwyn District Council website at www.

ON THE

ROADS

On the roads this week

Unsealed maintenance metalling is being undertaken on Brookside Road,

Thomsons Road and Hoskyns Road (SH73 to Station Road). Unsealed repairs are

being carried out on Midhurst Road, Coaltrack Road and Scotts Road. Please drive

with care through all sites.

Footpath repair work is being undertaken in Kirwee with some sections of the

footpath closed.

Maintenance grading will be taking place in the Hororata, Glenroy, Southbridge, Doyleston, Greendale

and Coalgate areas.

Drivers on Wards Road will be asked to stop on request, as stabilised seal repairs are completed on

Wednesday and Thursday.

The new community centre – which has recently had the roof

and façades installed – is expected to be completed in October

this year.

By the time of completion construction would have taken 13

months, with it starting in September 2017.

The new community centre will have a meeting space, indoor sport

facilities, a scout hall, Plunket room, a play centre as well as the

ability to adapt to other community activities.

The $5.8 facility replaces the old community hall which had

sustained earthquake damage. The new community centre is

much larger, and is better designed to cope with the needs of a

growing population.

TWO WEEKS ago I found a

small larva in the empty bath,

which I carefully brushed into a

specimen tube to view under the

microscope.

Closer inspection revealed that

the 6mm larva was an australian

carpet beetle, Anthrenocerus

australis, one of two common

carpet beetle species found in

New Zealand.

The larvae are slow-moving,

bristly, brown and white striped

pests, as opposed to the smaller

SLOW-MOVING: The australian carpet beetle larvae feed on

carpets, woollen fabrics, fur, feathers and even dead insects in

2-3mm, harmless, oval-shaped

adults.

The attractively patterned

adults are pollen feeders,

commonly seen on parsley

flowers, whereas the destructive

larvae feed on carpets, woollen

fabrics, fur, feathers and even

dead insects in museums.

Their cast exoskeletons and

frass, insect poo, can be a

clue you have an infestation,

which can be dealt with by

freezing, steam cleaning, boric

acid or synthetic pyrethroid

insecticides, depending on what

is infested.

Carpet beetles take between

Selwyn United striker nets

29 goals for school side

• By Jacob Page

SELWYN UNITED striker

Declan Hickford’s right boot is

showing no signs of failing him.

The 17-year-old is having a

breakthrough year, playing in

his debut Mainland Premier

League season with Selwyn

United on Saturdays and scoring

goals for the St Andrew’s College

first XI during the week.

Hickford is making the most

of his opportunities in the MPL

– starting most weeks for Selwyn

United and scoring five goals so

far this season.

He has been dominant for his

school team, scoring 29 goals

in eight games in the Connetics

first XI secondary school

competition, including seven last

week in a 9-2 win over Lincoln

High School that lifted his team

to third.

He has scored 90 goals for the

first XI since debuting four years

ago. The tally is believed to be

a school record and with four

games to go in the competition,

plus a national secondary

schools campaign still to come,

Hickford is likely to hit triple

figures at some point.

“There are times when I think

to myself that the great run I’ve

had must come to an end at

some point, but that’s my job –

to score goals,” he said.

TOP FORM: Selwyn United striker Declan Hickford has been

The Westmorland resident

said he is loving the challenge of

matching up against the men.

“The physicality is clearly

something that takes time to

adjust to, but also matching that

with the speed of play,” he said.

SPORTS

Hickford said he is also focused

on trying to earn a United

States scholarship. “To get a

quality education while testing

my skills against a high standard

of play would be something I’d

like to do,” he said.

Lincoln sharp-shooter

targets national champs

• By Jacob Page

LINCOLN HIGH School trap

shooter Scott Daly in on track to

represent the South Island after

dominating the North Island

championships in Hamilton.

The 16-year-old from

Springston won the High Gun

Award for best overall shooter

after claiming the secondary

school skeet and down the line

titles.

The Lincoln High team

also retained the team skeet

title with Scott, Logan Howe,

Michael Caines and Ethan

Kempthorne victorious.

Scott said his win in the skeet

was a big surprise. “It was a

shock to me because I basically

only do the skeet to fill in time

waiting for down the line.”

Scott is currently ranked

high enough to make the

South Island team to face the

North Island at the national

championships later this year.

The avid hunter and former

motocross rider took up the

sport three years ago after seeing

it mentioned in the Lincoln

High School notices.

“I realised I really enjoyed it

and now it takes up the majority

of my spare time,” he said.

“I don’t think about

achievements or trophies, I just

want to shoot well and do my

best.”

Scott said the sport was

mostly mental but weather

factors like the wind can play a

part as well.

“You have to keep your eye on

the targets and factor in what

the conditions might do but

that’s half the fun.”

DEFENDING champions

Lincoln A left it late to record

a much needed 52-49 win over

newly-promoted Rolleston in

the Selwyn premier netball

competition at the Lincoln Event

Centre on Saturday.

Rolleston came into the game

full of confidence after beating

Broadfield A 55-54 in their first

run out since winning promotion

to the top grade for round

three of the season.

Lincoln A were desperate to

get their title aspirations back

on track after a 55-46 loss to

Greenpark B.

Lincoln A managed to do it

but had to produce a fourthquarter

comeback after trailing

by two goals heading into the

final 15min.

Coach Vanessa Robinson said

her team had more than enough

ball to put the match beyond

doubt earlier than they did.

“We must have won 15

turnovers easily and then just

handed them straight back,” she

said. “It was very frustrating.”

Robinson praised Rolleston’s

“back to basics approach” and

said her team could learn a lesson

from the approach.

“We’ve been dominant for a

few years and that’s meant that

we’ve been able to play with flair

and haven’t had to rely on the

basics,” she said. “You’ve got to

give Rolleston a tremendous

amount of credit for their approach

and they’re having success

with it.”

After two weeks of the final

round, all six teams are split by

just one competition point.

Greenpark A proved too

strong winning 75-41 against

their clubmates Greenpark B,

and Broadfield A overcame

Southbridge A 58-43.

On Saturday,

Greenpark B will

play Rolleston A,

Lincoln A will face

Lincoln Combined

Proud supporters of

Rugby & Netball in Selwyn

face must win game against Nelson

• By Jacob Page

A WIN on Saturday against Nelson

College is a must for Lincoln

Combined if they want to make the

UC Championship top four for the

first time.

Lincoln Combined were their

own worst enemy during a 24-10

loss to St Bede’s College on Saturday.

The result left Lincoln clinging to

a semi-final spot with away games

to Nelson College and Christchurch

Boys’ High School to round

out their season.

Realistically, they’ll have to win

one of those fixtures to have any

chance of making the top four for

the first time.

Coach Mike Wilson said his

team struggled to impose themselves

on the game in the first half

and it cost them. “We were soft in

the beginning to be honest. We

fell off tackles and made too many

errors,” Wilson said. “We were

playing into a breeze and I felt like

all the 50-50 bounces were going

their way, but we certainly didn’t

help ourselves,” he said.

Lincoln Combined played the

game without their captain and

midfield general Wil Gualter after

he was knocked out during the

Crusaders Knights training camp a

fortnight ago.

“We missed him as any team

would miss their only player who

plays at (the Knights) level but most

importantly we missed his voice

and leadership,” Wilson said.

He said Gualter was not guaranteed

to return this week for the

must win game against Nelson

College.

Against St Bede’s, Lincoln

Combined trailed 19-3 at halftime

and while a try to halfback Robert

Sporke gave them a brief hope of

getting a losers bonus point for

finishing within seven points, a

St Bede’s intercept try killed off

that hope. Nelson College lost the

Moascar Cup to CBHS on Saturday

and will no doubt be eager to take

out their frustration on Lincoln

Combined in Nelson.

Results: Rangiora HS 47,

Waimea Combined 20; Christ’s

College 38, Marlborough Boys

15; Christchurch Boys 22, Nelson

College 12; St Thomas 51, Mid

Springston

sneak into

semi-final

• By Jacob Page

SPRINGSTON beat Southbridge

22-12 away from home and

scored a four-try bonus point on

Saturday to sneak into the semifinals

of the Ellesmere senior

rugby competition.

The result saw Springston go to

fourth spot by one competition

point, with both Southbridge

and Burnham Dunsandel Irwell,

who beat Rolleston 53-20, tied

on 27 points in fifth and sixth

respectively.

Springston scored four unanswered

tries to lead 22-0 before

Southbridge found their feet midway

through the second half.

Two tries to Springston winger

Josh Young proved vital in the

outcome.

Top-of-the-table Waihora

will be waiting for them. They

took the Murray Cooper Shield

off Darfield 12-0 on Saturday

and are looking to add to their

trophy cabinet after they won the

combined country competition

earlier in the season.

Waihora scored all of their

points in the first half through

tries to Joel Harden and Connor

MacButler and a conversion to

Harry Kirk proved enough in

spite of a second half arm wrestle.

It was a double blow for

Darfield who will now travel to

Prebbleton after they grabbed

second with a hard-fought 32-25

win over Lincoln.

Prebbleton’s Mitch Laughton

scored 17 points in the win. The

result dashed Lincoln’s slim topfour

chances.

West Melton ensured Hornby

would collect the wooden spoon

after they triumphed over the

winless cellar-dwellers 31-10.

Results: Waihora 12, Darfield

0; Springston 22, Southbridge 12;

Hawkins Trophy goes

to Lincoln University

• By Jim Doyle

WHAT IS it about Lincoln

University and New Brighton?

The Lincoln University

Rams have laid 14 tries on

the seasiders in two previous

contests.

They managed only two on

Sunday but a 26-7 win in a

grand-final of the Hawkins

Trophy at Rugby Park is

convincing, especially since

Brighton’s points came in the

last seconds.

Lincoln head coach Bevan

Sisson had a compelling take on

it. “Brighton are really physical

and like to feed off mistakes. So

you just don’t give them the ball

and there’s no plan B for them,”

he said.

Sisson said key areas were the

back of Brighton’s scrum and

in midfield. However, the Rams

didn’t punish the Brighton

scrum quite as much as in

previous games.

They kept Aaron McCoy

bottled up and did the

same to Brighton’s Scotland

international, No 12 Phil

Burleigh.

“Keep them under pressure

and they don’t have a lot of

other options. You could say we

strangled them out of it.”

Sisson was surprised that

WINNERS: Lincoln University celebrate with the Hawkins

Trophy after a 26-7 win over New Brighton at Rugby Park on

Sunday.

when Brighton won the toss

they gave first use of the wind to

the Rams.

“We’d have taken the wind.

It did die in the second half,

although we still found it hard

to get out of our area in that

wind and we achieved that,”

said Sisson.

He agreed with Ben Morris’s

after-match comment about

hitting Brighton in the first

20min. And they did that,

notching their two tries within

16min. “The thing was, don’t let

the crowd into it,’’ said Sisson.

Gold-clad Brighton

supporters were there in droves

as usual if the seasiders are

in a final. They managed to

stay merry in spite of the tide

running against them until the

death.

Sisson had special praise for

three young players – Connor

Gordon, Connor Garden-

Bachop and Cullen Grace.

“They’ll be really dangerous

with more experience, “ he said.

Minister shares in celebration

of good farming practice

Minister of Agriculture, Hon Damien

O’Connor was in Canterbury last Tuesday,

where he met Environment Canterbury

representatives and farming leaders to

celebrate good farming practice.

Minister O’Connor said the Government

had laid down clear bottom lines on water

quality and welcomed the increased

awareness and huge amount of mitigation

taking place.

“Farming in tune with the environment

shows consumers that their food is produced

by people who care and forms part of the

social licence that allows landowners to

operate,” the Minister said.

Environment Canterbury councillor Tom

Lambie said the Good Management Practice

(GMP) “journey” started in Canterbury

some years ago, and was marketed at

national level by the launch in June of the

Good Farming Practice Action Plan for

Water Quality.

“Now is a good time to take stock and

recognise just how far we’ve come,” Mr

Lambie said.

“It is four years since Industry Agreed

Good Management Practices Relating

to Water Quality were introduced by the

primary sectors in Canterbury with a view

to national adoption.

The Canterbury journey was illustrated

by a visit to an inter-generational dairy farm

near Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere where

innovation and sustainable management

have led to an impressive value-added story,

and a series of presentations.

Mr Lambie, who chaired the original

group that guided the work informing the

Good Management Practices each sector

developed, said all the key elements of

the journey were on show – continuous

improvement, targeted rules and smarter

tools.

“Collaboration has been key to our

success at every stage,” Mr Lambie said.

“For example, practices introduced by the

primary sectors were a prime example of

collaboration to help address our challenging

water quality issues. The work of our water

zone committees around the region since

the Canterbury Water Management Strategy

started in 2010 is another.”

Good management practice should be the

minimum standard for the primary sector,

Mr Lambie said.

“It is what every farmer would reasonably

expect from their peers. They are now

identifying the environmental risks and

acting to manage them.

“Farm environment plans (FEPs) are

central to this. We already have more than

3000 FEPs throughout the region, a rigorous

auditing regime providing assurance, and

land use consents being required of farmers

in high-risk areas. Nitrogen loss limits are

set in consents.

“We welcome every opportunity to

showcase all the good work that is happening

in Canterbury, and today’s activities have

given us that chance in a very practical way,”

Mr Lambie said.

Feds support emission reduction but say

road map needed

Moves to significantly reduce emissions

and meet Paris Agreement commitments

are supported by Federated Farmers, but

this should not be at the expense of New

Zealanders’ economic and social wellbeing,

the organisation says.

“We need that clear

road map to a low net

emissions economy

and a long-term plan

of action that endures

political cycles. But

New Zealand should

not lock itself into an

inflexible approach

that disadvantages

us more than other

nations,” Feds climate

Andrew Hoggard change spokesperson

Andrew Hoggard said.

“In the decades to 2050 we’ll also be

grappling with the major cost implications

of an ageing population. We must have

regard for the impact various ‘net zero’

options would have on emissions prices and

on GDP, jobs and incomes.”

In its submission on the Zero Carbon Bill,

Federated Famers said the best option of the

three put forward in the Our Climate Your

Say discussion paper was the “two baskets”

approach that focused on reductions in longlived

greenhouse gas emissions (carbon

dioxide and nitrous oxide) while stabilising

short-lived emissions (methane).

“New Zealand’s primary industries earned

64 per cent of our total merchandise export

income in 2017/18, not to mention the

several billion dollars of food produced for

domestic consumption,” Mr Hoggard said.

“We have an unsubsidised but highly

efficient agricultural sector, which is

markedly exposed to competition from

moderately to highly subsidised producers

in other nations.

“Successive governments have worked

hard to remove barriers to trade. It would be

counterproductive for future governments

to impose costs on our producers that would

undermine those trade gains.

“The wrong policies could reduce our

emissions-efficient food production, a gap

that will be filled by much less emissionsefficient

producers overseas. We lose

economically, and so does the planet in terms

of global warming and climate change.”

The Federation’s submission said

regardless of which 2050 target is adopted,

agricultural biological emissions should

not come under the ETS until cost-effective

mitigations are available to farmers and

our international competitors make similar

moves.

It also noted the great potential for forest

and other woody vegetation to sequest

carbon, including establishment of new

commercial forests, farm woodlots, shelter

belts, slope stability, erosion control planting

and riparian planting.

“But there’s a warning with this,” Mr

Hoggard said.

Diesel Blower Heaters

”We’re very concerned about the potential

for climate change policy to drive largescale

land use change from sheep and

beef farming to forestry, when it’s farming

that underpins the social, economic and

employment viability of rural communities.”

The notion that foresters will want to plant

on marginal land was “highly questionable”

he said.

and economic factors are shifting new

Home heating –

electricity, gas or wood?

How you heat your home depends on a

number of factors. Figuring out the best

way to heat your home continues to be a

matter for debate.

Several things are undisputed. A

warm, dry home is essential for

comfort and good health, good

insulation dramatically increases

the efficiency of any heating

system and ventilation is an

important consideration.

Most homes are

heated by electricity,

gas, or wood. In

New Zealand,

heating accounts

for approximately

30 percent of a

home’s annual energy

consumption. There are many

things you can do to reduce

consumption and cost.

The World Health Organisation

recommends a temperature of 18 deg C

for indoor living areas, and slightly less for

bedrooms. It recommends slightly higher

temperatures for vulnerable people – the

elderly and small children. Studies have

shown that indoor temperatures below 12

degrees can disrupt sleep.

Among all these considerations, how

you heat your home is a matter of personal

choice, with many options available.

Heat pumps are generally the most

common and cost-effective form of home

heating in New Zealand. Used properly,

they heat quickly and are convenient.

However, you need to have the right sized

unit for the area and they don’t work when

electricity is not available. They tend to be

room-specific but ducted heat pumps are

becoming more popular and are costeffective,

especially in new builds, but can

also be installed into established homes.

Modern wood burners may be the

closest you can get to an open-fire feel, but

are much more efficient. Wood is generally

a renewable fuel, and if you have a cheap

or free supply, a wood burner may be

the least expensive heating option. They

heat large areas and are not dependent

on electricity but there is the chopping

and stacking to be done, flues need to be

cleaned regularly and older models can

contribute to air pollution and may violate

strict air quality regulations – www.mfe.

govt.nz has detailed information regarding

this.

Pellet fires are typically more efficient

than wood burners but can have a smaller

output. They require electricity but

some have a battery backup and they are

thermostatically controlled with timers.

These must comply with regulations which

are also detailed on the Ministry for the

Environment website.

Gas heating is common and convenient.

Central heating systems can be zone

controlled and provide warm air

circulation. Flued gas heaters are best, as

unflued and portable gas heaters produce

lots of moisture and emit pollutants that

can be unsafe. Flued gas heating systems

can be installed in most homes. They are

fast heating and are relatively inexpensive

to run. However gas is not a renewable

resource and prices can vary widely.

The greatest source of energy is actually

free. Harnessing the sun can dramatically

reduce heating costs and is the most

environmentally friendly way to heat your

home. Passive heating combines insulation

with good design, accomplished more

effectively in new builds but also able to be

incorporated into existing homes.

Getting the sun’s warmth into your

home is a function of the design; keeping

it in is a function of the insulation. There

is a wealth of information online as passive

heating becomes normative in the design

and building industry.

Websites such as energywise.govt.

nz and smarterhomes.org.nz have

comprehensive information on and tips

for, heating your home in the colder

months.

Buying a lifestyle block

5

City life getting you down? Dreaming of

living in the country, where you ‘commute’

from the breakfast table to a barn or your

home office? It might look like an easy life but

buying a lifestyle property can be a complex

business.

While living in the country has much

to recommend it, you need to do more

preparation for buying a place there than

buying a pair of gumboots and comparing

the merits of ride-on mowers.

“We recommend comprehensive due

diligence when buying any kind of property,

but rural ones come with a whole extra set of

things to think about compared to buying a

straightforward stand-alone home in town,”

says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of

the Real Estate Authority (REA).

Lampen-Smith says that while it’s tempting

to focus on the dream wish list for your

bucolic bolt-hole, but you should also

compile a list of issues to be aware of (and

people who can help you learn about them).

“If the property you like is being sold by a

licensed real estate agent, remember that you

can ask them anything you like about it,” he

says.

“Rural real estate agents have special skills

in this area and they’ll be able to help you

figure out what information you need to

make a well-informed decision. It’s also a

good idea to get your lawyer onboard early to

check titles, consents and other information

that you gather in the process.”

It might feel like you’re getting away from

it all when moving out of town, but rural

developments can be subject to rules that

restrict what you can do. Lampen-Smith

recommends getting your lawyer to check if

there are any covenants on the property that

might have an impact on a future business

you may run there, or any planned building

projects. You don’t want to invest in an

alpaca herd for your new dream property

only to find that it’s not allowed to carry any

livestock. Similarly, it would be tough to

discover that your subdivision plans are not

permitted by council rules.

Be aware that there may be tax implications

if you’re planning to use the property as a

business, Lampen-Smith says.

“In general, if it is currently being used for

a business that is tax-registered – whether

that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock

or running a B&B – then the seller will

probably add GST to the price. This means

you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you are

also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer or

accountant to check if the house or any other

buildings on the property are GST-exempt.

They will also be able to advise you on

whether you need to be GST-registered.”

A good place to start when trying to figure

out what tax obligations might attach to your

purchase of the property is Inland Revenue’s

property tax decision tree (available at

http://www.ird.govt.nz/property/propertyterms-and-tools/property-decision-tree/),

but keep in mind that it is always best to

seek professional advice before you make a

decision.

Rural properties (like all properties) can

also have easements on the title that relate to

access, water or power. Lampen-Smith says

you should ask your lawyer to check the title

and work out what the easements are, and

how they will have an impact on your rights

and responsibilities as an owner.

“For example, if the title allows a neighbour

access to a piece of their land through your

property, do you have any right to limit the

type and frequency of that access if you buy

it?”

Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’

easements operating; the incumbent owners

may have an informal arrangement with their

neighbours, but this may not remain when

the property passes into new ownership.

Things that we take for granted when living

in urban environments, like water, sewage

and access, can require more involvement in

rural areas. Check the water sources for the

property – if it has its own bore, are there

limits on the amount of water you can draw

from it? What is the process for ensuring it is

safe to drink? What happens to wastewater

and sewage? Are you prepared for life with

a septic tank? Will the current owner ensure

the tank is empty as a condition of sale?

When it comes to access, will you share

a private road or right of way with other

properties? What will be your responsibilities

and potential costs for maintaining it? Don’t

forget that your neighbours may be involved

in unglamorous activities at ungodly hours –

check the zoning rules for nearby properties

if you’re worried about noise, smells or traffic.

You might think it’s lovely to have stock

grazing out the window, but are you ready for

a milk tanker driving past every morning? Be

aware that the LIM will not always alert you

to any pending or current NZTA decisions

regarding local highway linkages that often

divert traffic away from urban centres in

favour of immediate rural areas on the town

boundary. Check with NZTA if you think

your property could be affected by road

changes.

“Like all property purchases, buying a place

in the country requires careful, objective

consideration,” Lampen-Smith says.

“There are lots of great things about living

on the land, but it’s best to be realistic about

it. You don’t want to be like the former townie

I met a few weeks ago, who mournfully told

me that their lifestyle block had become “a

life sentence”. Do your homework and you’re

far more likely to live happily ever after in

rural bliss.”

Your guide to all things Real Estate

in the Selwyn District

Investing

to rent –

with pets

Rental properties that allow pets are a

niche market for landlords.

Pet-friendly rental properties are hard

to find, and yet according to a 2011 New

Zealand Companion Animal Council

(NZCAC) survey, 68% of households own

at least one pet.

With the companion animal population,

over 5 million, outranking the human

population 4.8 million (2018 Census), it is

acceptable to assume that there are large

numbers of people actively looking for

rental homes where their pets can come

too.

Renting a home to a stranger is entrusting

someone with a valuable asset so allowing

a pet or two makes this a riskier option

for the landlord. However, that does not

mean a tenant with a pet will not be a good

tenant.

Landlords could potentially be missing

out on high return rental opportunities as

pet owners are often willing to pay more

to keep their pets with them. Tenants with

pets tend to stay longer and take better care

of the property according to an overseas

survey.

Charging a higher rental and including

a pet bond are ways to help protect the

property and the rights of the landlord.

Landlords have the right to ask for a pet

bond to cover any future damage caused by

the animals or other related costs if tenants,

who have left the property, abandon their

animals.

However, according to the New Zealand

Government website, there is a limit to the

amount of overall bond that can be charged.

A tenant cannot be charged more than the

equivalent of four weeks rental in bond. If a

pet bond is required, it should be included

in this and cannot be in addition to the four

weeks rent bond already charged.

It is also essential for the landlord to

include the names, breed and number of

pets allowed to live on the property in the

rental agreement, so there are no future

misunderstandings.

Charging a

higher rental and

including a pet

bond are ways

to help protect

the property and

the rights of the

landlord.

Ask for a pet portfolio

A pet portfolio helps reassure the landlord that the tenant is a responsible owner.

It should include information about the pet plus details about its care and daily

habits.

Things to include:

• Photo of the pet.

• Description, breed, age and sex.

• Current vaccination certificates.

• Desexing, microchipping and registration information.

• Housing information, i.e. how the animal will be housed (outdoors – in kennel

and run; indoors – housetrained, bedding, etc.).

• Daily habits – how the pet spends its day, exercise regime, etc.

• Training sessions attended, i.e. dog obedience school.

• References relating to your pet from a previous landlord or vet.

Marketing your property –

what does it mean?

Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.

Conceptually, marketing is identifying

what prospective buyers are looking for

then providing this. For example, larger

homes and sections may appeal more

to families. Young couples starting out,

generally have tight budgets leading

them to smaller properties, while older

people may be looking to downsize.

Brand new has a particular appeal

however there will always be a market for

established homes. Having a picture in

your mind of the type of buyer will help

in determining the features to emphasise.

If repairs and maintenance need to be

carried out before putting the property

on the market, seek the advice of a real

estate agent. They can advise on what

tasks are worth completing and what

might be unnecessary expense.

Installing a new kitchen or changing

the carpet may lift the house but will

the expense be recouped in the sale

price? On the other hand, modernising

an outdated kitchen or bathroom could

make a huge difference to the look of

the place. Avoid going overboard unless

the capital value of properties in the area

justifies this.

Real estate agents are in contact with

prospective buyers so aware of what they

are looking for. Draw on their expertise

and advice to help make the most of the

selling opportunity.

Establishing a relevant and fair price

for a property is important. Most

agents calculate this based on the price

properties in the area have sold for, and

what a particular property has to offer.

A unique or exceptional property may

justify a higher price, though run-down

properties can gain more than they

appear to merit. This might be due to the

area or other factors that suggest a good

investment.

When promoting a property, mix it up

and be creative so your property stands

out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;

checked by most people looking to buy.

Present the features the property offers as

benefits to potential buyers.

Erect a sign outside the property.

People stop and look at photographs and

this might spark sufficient interest for

them to visit an open home. Spending

a fortune on massive advertising

campaigns in every media might seem a

way to attract potential buyers but may

be an unnecessary expense without the

return. A better philosophy could be a

little often. This will depend on the value

of the property, your budget and how

best to reach target buyers.

Buyer perception is also significant.

For example, properties that sit for a

while can become stale. Resting the

property by taking it off the market for

a short time, then relisting perhaps in

spring or when sales in the area appear

to lift a little, can make a difference.

However, if a property does not sell

immediately there is no need for panic or

dropping the price. It may simply be that

the right buyer has not yet come along. If

the mix is right your property will sell.
