Heritage
bid in the
way of
plans to
develop
Rolly Inn
• By Emily O’Connell
A BID to redevelop the Rolly
Inn site in Rolleston could be
stopped by plans to turn the
hotel into a heritage building.
Owner Russell Lilley is planning,
along with others, to pull
down the hotel and build a bar,
restaurant, new commercial
buildings and a service station
on the site.
But the district council may
have different plans for the Rolly
Inn.
Last Wednesday the district
plan committee endorsed a
preferred option report that
included a bid to add the hotel,
which was built in 1930, to the
heritage items list.
Mr Lilley told Selwyn
Times that he doesn’t want the
hotel to become a heritage item.
He said it was “typical of the
way the world seems to be going
today” where people make up
your mind for you.
He has called the proposal to
add the building to the heritage
list “absolutely ridiculous.”

A BIT of drama in the shire in recent days.
Armed police surrounded a house in
Rolleston on Monday morning (see page
3) and used a stun grenade to convince the
wanted subject he should surrender.
It worked. He obliged and was taken into custody without
further incident.
Wise man.
In the early hours of Friday morning an 18-year-old, more
than four times over the drink driving limit, smashed into a
power pole after a big session in Lincoln. She was unhurt.
Lucky girl.
And, on Saturday yours truly was left with 15 stitches in an
index finger after his ageing lab unexpectedly took off from the
loose and awkward angled grip I had on the lead.
Silly boy.

Drink driving teen to
face court after crashing into pole
• By Emily O’Connell
FROM LINCOLN to Linwood
with a brain sozzled with booze.
And now an 18-year-old
university student will face the
courts after crashing her car
into a power pole in the early
hours of Friday morning.
• By Emily O’Connell
A STUN grenade was used on
a Rolleston house during an
armed offenders squad raid on
Monday.
The dramatic operation in
Othello Drive saw a number of
neighbouring streets cordoned
off. Paramedics were on standby.
But the wanted man sought
by police was captured without
incident about 10.30am on
Monday.
Sergeant Phil Bayne said the
man had failed to appear in
court for breach of community
work.
He said the arrest took about
two and a half hours and the
property involved was occupied
by someone known to the man.
The teenager recorded a
breath alcohol reading of 898
mcg/L after she crashed and
struck the pole at the intersection
of Ellesmere Junction Rd
and Shands Rd at 12.15am.
She had been drinking in Lincoln
and was returning to her
home in Linwood, said Senior
Constable Andy Williamson.
Miraculously she was not
injured.
The legal limit is 250 mcg/l
for someone 20-years-old and
over. Because of her age, she
was not legally allowed to drink
and drive.
“Lucky she, or an innocent
member of the public, was not
killed,” Senior Constable Williamson
said.
She will appear in the
Christchurch District Court on
charges of careless use of a motor
vehicle and driving with excess
breath alcohol concentration in
the next couple of weeks.

ANOTHER DRIVER HITS COW
A cow was killed following
a collision with a vehicle on
Hororata Dunsandel Rd early on
Monday morning. Constable Herb
Inwood said the man driving the
vehicle didn’t suffer any injuries
but his vehicle was damaged. It is
the fourth time a vehicle has hit
wandering stock in the past couple
of months.
TURNING ARROW
An arrow has been installed
at a set of traffic lights at the
intersection of State Highway 1
and Rolleston Drive to try and
stop vehicles hitting signal poles.
About 25,000-30,000 vehicles
drive through the intersection
each day. Sergeant Alex Pickover
is hopeful it will help reduce the
crashes and risk of serious injuries
at the intersection. Last month
Selwyn Times learned there had
been 17 incidents in which signal
poles had been damaged at the
intersection over the past 11 years.

Two vehicles collided at the
intersection of State Highway 1 and

Heritage bid may disrupt
plan to redevelop Rolly Inn
•From page 1
District councillor Craig
Watson is backing Mr Lilley
but his suggestion to keep the
hotel off the heritage list did not
receive enough support from
fellow councillors.
He said it would be “unfair”
and “almost embarrassing for
Rolleston” if the hotel
became a heritage item.
“It’s putting a lot of
limitations on a hotel that
I would argue most of
Rolleston would not call
a heritage building,” Cr
Watson said.
His advice to Mr Lilley
is to get it demolished in
the next two years while
there are no restrictions in place.
District councillor Jeff Bland
said the building is a “great old
pub” which has historical value.
However, he said the owner
would need to be on-board with

the proposal for it to work.
“I think if you’re going to put
a heritage order on something, it
needs to come with agreement of
the current land owner or owner
of the building,” he said.
The report detailing the proposed
changes is expected to go
out for initial public consultation
in the next month. The
consultation will then be
considered when creating
the draft District Plan. The
draft plan will then go out
for formal consultation
before being finalised.

CHANGES: A petition has been started for a second, larger dog park in Rolleston
after a fence was installed in the Foster Park dog exercise area last week.
Fence at dog park prompts
users into starting petition
• By Emily O’Connell
MORE THAN 370 people
have signed a petition
for the district council to
create a second, larger dog
park in Rolleston.
This follows a
fence being built
in the Rolleston
dog park last week
so part of it can
be closed off to
the public while
the Selwyn Dog
Training Club is
taking sessions.
Concerns have
been raised over
the district council’s
new structure at the
Foster Park dog exercise
area on the corner of
Springston, Rolleston and
Goulds Rds on the Rolleston
Community Page on
Facebook.
“Where was the consultation
from the council?”
one person commented.
“Looks like they have
made a total mess of the
park. What an eyesore
now,” another person said.
In Brief
WELCOMING PLAN
Selwyn’s Welcoming Plan
was launched on Friday. It
outlines how the district
council will celebrate the
increasing population and
diversity, and what activities
it will deliver to ensure
Selwyn is even more
welcoming for newcomers
and migrants. The plan is
part of the two-year Welcoming
Communities pilot
programme which the
district council was chosen
to take part in along with
eight other councils in five
regions across the country.
John Reid
“Actually looks like a
pretty good rural fence to
me,” a person wrote.
District council major
projects property manager
John Reid said it does not
have a view on
the petition
and there are
no plans for another
dog park
in Rolleston.
“Any future
developments
will need to
go through Annual
or Long
Term Plan
processes,” he
In 10 years the district’s
population is expected to
grow to 79,000. This is a
significant increase from
the current population of
59,000.
FIRST AID COURSE
The Ladbrooks Community
Hall Committee is
sponsoring an accredited
first aid course on September
15 and 16. There are
free places available for
residents of the Ladbrooks
rating area. For more information
phone 322 4490
in the evenings or email
said.
Mr 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.
There is no final cost for
the fence yet as it has just
been completed. However,
in July Mr Reid told Selwyn
Times it was expected
to cost about $5000-$7000.
The fence is a permanent
structure. However, it is
being 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.

‘To Think’
‘A mark, a sign.’
‘Anything serving as a reminder – token of rememberance”
Little River Gallery shows for the second time a collaborative exhibition by Robin Slow (painting), Brian Flintoff
(carving) and Bob Bickerton (soundscape). This year they follow on in the tradition of visually forwarding
histories and stories to be reflected on and become immersed in.
Robin Slow an artist whose work is also held in private collections, galleries and marae throughout the country
has used paint to create traditional forms used in conjunction with natural forms. The method of producing the
work has a traditional background but there has been an evolving of techniques and materials. This series of
works takes some traditional tohu, be it in the form of the composition, the patterns created or the creatures. It
explores the past and present to produce another tohu and that is the sign towards the future.
For many years, Brian Flintoff has created taonga puoro (musical instruments) for players and musicians
throughout the country. Not only do these create unique sounds but he has carved into them the stories and
histories that are woven into their function. His works are held in many major galleries throughout the world as
well as collections and marae here in Aotearoa.
From the painted images, carvings and reference points each has used in their works, Bob Bickerton created a

EVENTS REGULARY POSTED ON
At the heart of Lincoln
40 years of acting
Established in 1977,
Kirwee Players has
a long history of
providing shows
in Selwyn. Kirwee
resident Mable
Knight has been
involved with the
group for 40 years.
Emily O’Connell talks
to her about her love
for theatre
What made you join the
Kirwee Players?
My love of theatre, really.
I came from Hokitika
on the West Coast and
there wasn’t anything like
that. They had a Hokitika
society going then. I was
really busy, I was a primary
school teacher. So when
I came over here I went
to their second show and
I came home and said:
‘That’s it, that’s for me.’ I
really loved it. I’ve been
in most of the shows ever
since.
Why did you move from
Hokitika to Kirwee?
I was teaching and I
took up a teaching job in
Christchurch. I went from
Hokitika Primary School
to Oaklands School . . . I
got tired of driving into the
sun in the morning and
the sun coming back and I
went to Sheffield Primary
School and absolutely loved
the country school teaching.
How long did you teach
at Sheffield Primary
School for?
I think it was something
like 13 or 14 years.
Have you lived anywhere
other than Hokitika
and Kirwee?
I was born in Westport
and then went to training
college then after training
college, with marriage
and what-not, I lived in
Hokitika and taught in
CREATIVE: Former
primary school teacher
Mable Knight’s passion
for music goes back to
her childhood.
Hokitika. I taught pretty
well continuously for
nearly 30 years.
What did you learn
from teaching?
I learnt that children can
surprise you all the time.
Children are always wanting
to learn more and if
you can open up their eyes,
they’ll take it on for themselves.
I think the role of
the teacher is to give them
the tools and then they
have urge to go further.
What’s your favourite
thing about Kirwee?
We’ve been farmers you
see, so I still love the openair
space. It’s quite funny
after living on a farm you
come into a subdivision
where there’s houses and
neighbours and things
. . . I wouldn’t go anywhere
else other than Kirwee
because I think the people
of Kirwee, and Malvern in
particular, are really nice.
We’ve got all our friends
here and we just like the
lifestyle out here.
What type of farming
did you do?
My husband David was
SELWYN TIMES
a farmer when I married
him and at Courtenay,
mostly we raised dairy
heifers and sheep and had
some bulls.
How has Kirwee
changed since you’ve lived
there?
The Kirwee district itself
with subdivisions and that
has really grown but I love
living out in the country,
I could never go to the
city. I also sing with the
Christchurch City Chorus,
I’ve been there for 25 years
too and that’s in the city.
That’s the only reason I
really go into the city. And
that again is singing,
a capella, barber shop style
and I’ve been overseas
backwards and forwards
with the Sweet Adelines
International for a number
of years now.
Have you always been
into theatre and singing?
How did it start?
Well after church on a
Sunday night . . . we’d sit
around mum’s organ and
we’d sing. And I have a
twin sister and we used to
always love harmonising.
What’s your favourite
type of song to sing?
I love ballads. Ballads
that tell a story. Some of
today’s songs that Adele
sings, people like that, that
you can relate to the words,
that’s the kind of ballad I
like to sing.
What has made you stay
with the Kirwee Players?
I enjoy the people, the
group. They’ve worked
really hard over the years,
the Kirwee Players, to get
to where they are today. It’s
been a continual growing
journey for the Kirwee
Players, it really has. The
productions now are so
professional that I still
think they’re the envy of
some of the Christchurch
groups, I’m just saying
that, but I think they are.

Mable Knight
with theatre group
News
TALENT: Mable Knight says it’s her love for theatre which got her involved with the Kirwee
Players 40 years ago and the people
100%
CapItal GaIn
to the ResIDent
What has been the most
memorable show you’ve been a
part of and why?
Well I took the role of Bloody
Mary in South Pacific and then
I’ve directed shows too . . . it’s a
great role [playing Bloody Mary]
to do and I love the songs I had to
sing . . . I just love playing strong
character roles . . . But I’ve also
thoroughly enjoyed working
backstage and I’ve been on the
committee for a good number of
years.
How has the Kirwee Players
changed since you’ve been a part
of it?
I think we have continually
updated and upgraded our sound
and our lighting and all the technical
things we can do on stage.
We’re really improved those over
the years. I think we run more
professionally now.
How did you get into directing?
I used to write children’s
shows when I taught at Sheffield
Primary School and I’d put on
an annual production and I’d
involve the whole school. So I
would write the story line and
then I would put it on every year
and I used to love doing that with
the children at Sheffield Primary.
And then with Kirwee Players, I
was in the chorus and then I took
roles on and I really enjoyed it.
Then I was asked to direct one
year and I did and I thoroughly
enjoyed that experience too.
Where do you see the future
of the Kirwee Players?
My generation, we’re looking
for people to come in and fill our
slots. You know what I mean? We
can’t always be there. The aim of
the Kirwee Players is to get more
youth on the committee. We have
got quite a young committee now
which is really good for those of
us who are a lot older now and
see ourselves moving back off it
. . . we’re lucky because when we
audition for people to come in to
shows, we’re getting them from
the city, we’re getting them coming
out and we have our regulars
too but we’re always looking for
new blood.

HAVE YOUR SAY: The district council is calling for public
consultation on its current District Plan.
District Plan
consultation open
THE PUBLIC is being asked
to have their say on the current
District Plan.
The plan is essentially the district’s
rule book on how land can
be used and developed.
A review is being undertaken
by the district council to make
sure it’s still fit for purpose and
up to date with any relevant
changes which have happened
since the last plan was notified.
All councils are required to review
their plan every 10 years.
The district council recently
released draft changes to a range
of topics in the plan for public
feedback.
District council environmental
services manager Tim Harris
said it wants to ensure that the
new plan helps rural, business
and residential areas to thrive.
“At the same time we want to
make sure our district remains
uniquely Selwyn – protecting
the things that are important to
the character of the district, and
managing our natural and physical
resources in a sustainable way.
“The plan potentially affects a
wide cross-section of the community.
It controls the things
you can do on your property, for
example, and what activities are
allowed to take place in different
parts of the district.
“It’s important that we hear
from as many people as possible
to check on whether we’re on
the right track with the draft
changes we’re proposing.”
The changes being considered
in this phase of consultation
span across 22 different topics
which are likely to have most
impact and be of most interest to
the wider public.
Topics have been grouped
into four categories according
to where they occur and who
they’re most likely to affect
business, rural, residential and
district-wide.
“Anyone can provide their
feedback on the draft changes
proposed so far. We encourage
you to also provide any supporting
facts, data, examples and
documentation to support your
comments.”
More topics are expected to
be added to the consultation
summary document later in the
month.
Feedback from this consultation
will help inform the new
rules to be included in the proposed
plan, which is expected
to be notified for formal public
consultation in early 2020.
The new plan is anticipated
to be in place, subject to any
Environment Court appeals, in
early 2022. Until then any new
resource applications will be assessed
against the current plan.
•Feedback can be
provided online, at drop-in
sessions this month and
next, by email or post. It
is open until October 8.

Fire rages, homes at risk
More housing can only be a good thing
Rolleston
resident
Alice Watson
is studying a
Bachelor of
Agriculture
at Lincoln
University
and talks
about the housing boom in
the district
When travelling through and
around Rolleston, it’s almost
impossible to go far without
passing either an advertisement
for a new or growing subdivision
or houses under construction.
The booming residential expansion
that began in the wake
of the 2010/11 earthquakes
seems to have proven itself the
gift that keeps on giving.
As a fairly sheltered Lincoln
student I could easily grumble
on about the downsides of the
continuous disappearance of
so many trees and paddocks,
but the benefits of the rapid
developments in the district are
undeniable.
Plentiful housing seems to be
helping keep properties (relatively)
affordable, which certainly
beat wrangling shortages
akin to those up the northern
end of the nation.
For young professionals and
students, the continued construction
of new houses makes
the area quite attractive; there
aren’t many places in this country
so near a major city where
the weekly rent can be almost
equal to your grocery bill.
Financials aside, many I’ve
met have expressed their enjoyment
of Rolleston and Lincoln’s
‘out-of-town’ feel and the spaciousness,
with Christchurch
close enough to be convenient.
The peace and pace works
for retirees and families, and
number of schools in the area
has almost tripled in the last
five years.
All in all, this little area seems
to suit people at every stage of
life; for growing a community
this can only be a good thing.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Rolleston resident Alice Watson talks
about the increase of housing in the district and its effects.
Readers respond to the
potholes on West Belt in
Lincoln being filled in by
Christmas
Gayle Elizabeth Lord –
Well they deserve to have this
pothole fixed after so long but
maybe then some of the ones
around from the earthquake
could get done properly. Sick of
patch-ups that fail as soon as we
get rain. Doesn’t do much for a
car’s suspension when you can’t
see the hole in the dark. Actually
not very good for my teeth either.
Barry Clarke – Lots of
potholes everywhere, council too
busy making cycle lanes to fix
potholes, I don’t mind cycle lanes
but the cyclists still ride on the
footpath or road.
Taina Kahutia Tawhitopou
Connell – What a joke.
Readers respond to the
fourth car v cow crash in
the past couple of months
Eileen Gundesen – We
used to have a farm with cows.
Often I would find members
of the public in our paddocks,
picnicking, picking watercress
from our water races or picking
up wood or pine cones. They got
into the paddocks via the gates,
often leaving them open or not
latched correctly. So don’t always
blame the farmers.
Bruce Marshall – Police
are reminding motorists to keep
speed down at night which is
good advice especially in rural
areas. However, livestock has no
place on roads at anytime unless
being shifted along a road in a
controlled manner. Owners of
livestock need to lift their game.
Janys Rebecca Harrison
– Here’s an idea – the cattle
farmers should be fined if their
cows cause any crashes like this.
Cars and cows obviously do not
go together very well. If there’s a
repeat of this, somebody could
get seriously injured or even die.
Nicola Loach – I know these
are cows, but this should also be
a polite reminder to horse riders
to make themselves as visible
as they can if road riding, and
ensure all gates and fences are
secure. What a terrible outcome
for everyone.
Annette Wilson – Phone
*555. The farmer can’t get
the stock off the road if he
doesn’t know about it. The police
work with the farmers. No one
wants the public injured or the
stock.
Kathryn Macgregor –
Farmers in Selwyn need to be
spoken to.

We work on extending learning opportunities in a number of areas.
Technology
Some of the highlights in our
technology area include:
• Robotics;
• 3D Printing;
• EPro8 Challenge;
• Fashion Design and Make.
Technology is a favourite area for
many students due to the ‘handson’
problem solving approach to
learning.

competitions and events offered at Kirkwood.
These include:
• University of Canterbury Academic
Competitions;
• Cantamath;
• Canterbury-Westland Science Fair;

• Blue Light PCT competition;
• Otago Problem Solving;
• Publishing of a school magazine;
• Art Cup;
• Kids’Lit Quiz;
• Orchestra;
• Choir;
• Leadership Opportunities;
• House Captains;
• School Production;
• School Council.
Music
Music is taught as part of the
performing arts curriculum in
all classrooms, however extra
opportunities are available
for students to learn a wide
variety of music.
This year our students have
been learning the Guitar,
Piano, Violin, Drums, Flute,
singing in the Choir and
playing in the Orchestra.
We also have a Rock Band
which performs in assemblies
during the year.
Awards
We value and encourage personal excellence which
is recognised with our ‘Blues’ Awards system.
Sports
Apart from the regular physical education programmes
within the classrooms there are many other sports
offered at Kirkwood. Some the sports played this year
are Netball, Football, Cross Country, Skiing, Swimming,
Rugby, Basketball, Water polo and Touch Rugby.

Rolleston, West
Melton school
bands on quest
to be rock stars
THEY MAY be young but they
know how to rock.
Selwyn schools took to the
stage last week in the Canterbury
regional Rockshop Bandquest.
Bandquest is a nationwide music
contest for intermediate and primary
school pupils.
The competition is in its eighth
year and attracted 46 bands in
the Canterbury region, which
competed over three nights at St
Margaret’s College.
Rolleston School band Storm
Breaker were third in last
Tuesday’s event. West Melton
School pupil Islan McPherson
was named ‘killer’ guitarist on the
same night for his playing skills.
Event organiser Matt Ealand
said the performances mixed
sophistication with a lack of
self-consciousness, enhanced
by the supportive framework of
Bandquest.
“They’ve been watching TV and
YouTube, they’re aware of what
established musicians are doing
Hamish, Blake and
Trent were among
the West Melton
School pupils at a
plantout day in the
Kowhai Sanctuary on
Thompsons Rd. In
addition to planting
440 natives, the
pupils studied aquatic
invertebrates from the
Waimakariri River and
terrestrial invertebrates
in the plants. The trip
was made possible
with support of
parents, Enviroschools,
Te Ara Kakariki
and Environment
Canterbury.
SCHOOLS
and they want to emulate them,”
he said.
“Rockshop Bandquest is a
confidence-builder that lifts their
game musically, and they tend
to take that with them to high
school, with proven benefits
socially and academically.”
Rockshop spokesman Hamish
Jackson said for many of the
pupils, Rockshop Bandquest is
the biggest musical moment of
their lives. “Bandquest provides a
unique opportunity to kids at this
age. It’s all about participation and
giving it a go. The kids definitely
throw themselves into it and the
results have been amazing,” he
said.
More than 215 bands have entered
Rockshop Bandquest across
the country this year, performing
in events which started on August
20 and are set to finish on Monday
night. The national final will be
broadcast online with the results
announced on September 20.

Have you found a mystery
rock around Faringdon?
Lemonwood Grove School pupils have decorated Faringdon
by placing rocks painted with positive messages around the
community. It was part of a project that aimed to link the
school to the growing neighbourhood. Explore the green
spaces in Faringdon and see if you can find a rock, then read it
and place it somewhere else for other residents to find.

Etiquette for
dog owners
With spring just around the corner, our district’s dog owners will be taking advantage of the
warmer weather to enjoy all of the great outdoor facilities we have to offer.
Around the district there are 36 parks where dogs can run off leashes, although there are some
minor rules which owners need to abide by. This includes staying at least five metres away from
activities like sporting fixtures and facilities such as playgrounds.
Prohibited dog exercise areas include golf courses on Council Reserves, skate parks, secondary
and primary schools and the Springston South Domain.
Senior Animal Control Officer Steve Clarke says the Council wants to see everyone in the
community enjoy what the Selwyn district has to offer.
“The key to having a good balance between dog owners and general facility users is making sure
that the owners have their animals under effective control.
“We are happy to see dog owners running their pets, but we also want to see them respect other
users of facilities, that’s why we need owners to have effective control of their dogs.
“What we mean by effective control is owners being able to call their dogs back quickly if they are
causing any issues to other users.”
Mr Clarke asks owners to have their dogs under effective control in public spaces where wildlife
is present.
He says for the most part Animal Control is really happy with the level of responsibility Selwyn dog
owners show when exercising their pets.
If anyone does want to report anti-social behaviour they can call the Council line on
347 2800.
Not grate
in Leeston
Our grates covering sumps on
Selwyn Street in Leeston are
being dunked or stolen, and
this is causing a significant
safety risk to road users and
pedestrians. Over the last two
weeks five sump grates have
been lifted up and dumped into
the sump, or stolen. Grates are
cast iron, and very heavy so
would take a lot of strength
to move.
Council is asking those
responsible to please stop
and for the public to keep an
eye out, and if they see any
suspicious activity around the
Selwyn Street area to give
Council a call on (03) 347-2800
Have a Go Day a hit in Darfield
Over 800 people spent their Sunday at the Darfield Domain and
Recreation Centre, attending this years Have a Go Day.
Have a Go Day is designed to showcase the sport and recreation
activities Darfield and the wider Selwyn district has to offer, inviting
residents to have a go at a variety of sports.
District Review - Family flats
With our current District Plan up for review, Selwyn District Council
has put a range of topics and draft changes out for public consultation.
The District Plan is essentially the district’s rule book on how land
can be used and developed. The Council is undertaking the review
to make sure the Plan is still fit for purpose and up to date. All
councils are required to review their District Plan every 10 years.
Currently there are 22 topics out for consultation and over the next
few weeks we will look at some of the key topics and the potential
changes being considered.
One topic the Council has identified as needing to be reviewed in
the current District Plan is family flats.
Under the current rules there has been potential confusion around
who can live in a family flat, how big it can be, how many flats can
be put up on one property and how they can be designed to reflect
the look and feel of the surrounding area.
Draft changes which we are considering for the new District Plan include:
· amending the definition of family flat to make it clear it’s a minor
residential unit which needs to be held in the same ownership as
the main dwelling and is associated with the main dwelling.
· removing the requirement that only family members can live in a
family flat. As result there would be no limit on who may occupy
the flat.
· developing new standards which a minor residential unit needs to
comply with if it’s to be allowed without a resource consent.
All key draft changes and a survey for you to have a say on these
changes can be found at www.selwyn.govt.nz/dprfamilyflats
Consultation is open until 5pm, Monday 8 October.
It’s important to note that the District Plan doesn’t determine
the property rates or Development Contributions. Rates are set
through the Council’s Annual Plan and Long Term Plan processes,
while Development Contributions are set by the Development
Contributions Policy.

Rolleston travel
agent wins
bronze award
A ROLLESTON travel agency has
been recognised at the Helloworld
Gala Dinner.
Helloworld Rolleston’s Yvette
Dyer took out bronze for outstanding
success in sales revenue.
The award is a celebration
of the past year’s sales and is
bench-marked against other
branches across Helloworld’s 70
independently-owned branches
nationwide.
It was presented by
Helloworld’s management
and the comedy
duo Jono and Ben.
Helloworld Rolleston
owners Paul and
Yvette
Dyer
Sue Robinson are
proud to have Miss
Dyer as part of the
high-performing
Rolleston team and this award is
testament to her professionalism
and continued focus on her
clients.
“It’s fantastic that Miss Dyer’s
efforts are rewarded,” they said.
“There are some amazing
journeys out there for people to
see and we are continually excited
to be part of the process, it’s
almost as if we undertake the trip
with our clients and we can’t wait
to help our growing database to
new and vibrant places.”

ONE OF the most interesting
spider families are the jumping
spiders or salticidae.
Thirty species have been
described by arachnologists in
New Zealand, but it has been
estimated that as many as 150-
200 species of jumping spiders
occur here.
Salticidae are distinguished
by a square-fronted head, with
four large, forwardly- pointed
eyes, and four smaller eyes on
top of their head, giving them
the best vision of all spiders.
The two inner front eyes are
the largest and assist with their
predatory lifestyle. As their
common name suggests, they
can jump distances of more
than 4cm to catch their prey.
One species commonly seen
around the house or backyard
is the golden-brown jumping
spider trite auricoma.
Favourite haunts of this
7-8mm native species are
among dead leaves of flax or
cabbage tree leaves.

Ellesmere College
Senior A Netball
The Ellesmere College Senior A
Netball team is currently fundraising
to allow us to travel to and compete
in the 2018 South Island Secondary
Schools Tournament in Dunedin, this
September.
Our team currently play in the
premier school netball competition
in Christchurch where on a
Wednesday the team competes in
the Super Net Reserve grade. We
ended the first round in top position
and played off against Rangi Ruru
for a position in SuperNet grade,
narrowly missing out by just a few
goals. We finished the season in this
competition third which the team is
very proud of. The team also play
together in the Saturday competition
at Selwyn Netball Centre under the
name of Southbridge B in the Premier
2 grade.
The team have had many successes
this season including winning the first
round of this competition and are
looking forward to the upcoming
semis and finals. Playing together on
a Wednesday and a Saturday has
been an invaluable experience for
us to have preceding to the time
of the tournament and allows us to
build combinations and develop as
a team.
Earlier this year the team put on
a Ball Gown Parade Fundraiser in
relation to the school formal which
was a very enjoyable night and
was a major financial contribution
towards this tournament.
The team would like to take this
opportunity to express our gratitude
to all of our supporters and sponsors
who are allowing us to compete and
for their support so far in the season.

Proud supporters of
Rugby & Netball in Selwyn
• By Jacob Page
SELWYN WILL have a new
premier grade netball champion
for the first time in five years.
Broadfield A dumped
defending champions Lincoln
A out of the competition with
a 65-46 win in their semi-final
at the Lincoln Event Centre on
Saturday.
Broadfield A will meet
Greenpark A in the final on
Saturday after they eased past
clubmates Greenpark B 74-45.
Broadfield A beat Lincoln A by
two goals in their round-robin
clash a fortnight ago and were
too good again in the suddendeath
atmosphere.
Broadfield A coach Yvonne
Crichton-Hill said she was
impressed by the team’s selfbelief
and their ruthless attitude
against a Lincoln A team
that dominated most of the
competition.
“I was really impressed
with everyone,” she said. “I
was nervous before the game,
probably more nervous than the
players.
“We led for the entire game
and I was just so pleased with
how we looked after the ball for
all four quarters,” she said.
“Often when we get turnovers
we’d get excited and give it
straight back, but on Saturday we
really looked after the ball.”
Crichton-Hill said Maia Hill’s
93 per cent shooting helped her
team build on their lead during
each quarter,

ball. (Above) – Greenpark B’s Micaela Diedrichs looks

AGILITY: Amy McClintock
looks to pass.
“We ended up winning a lot
of turnovers through the midcourt,
which meant (Lincoln
A’s) talented shooters weren’t
able to make it hard for us as
much as they would have liked,”
Crichton-Hill said.
Lincoln A netball coach
Vanessa Robinson described
their season as a rebuilding year,
with injuries and absence taking
their toll.
“We did the best we could
given the circumstances all year,”
she said. “We’ve gone through
a rebuilding year and I would
expect that will continue next
year.”
Greenpark A had little trouble
brushing aside their clubmates,
in spite of having closer contests
with them throughout the
season. Greenpark B qualified in
second-place but Greenpark A
led the semi-final from start to
finish.
Broadfield A beat Greenpark A
56-48 the last time they met this
season.
Greenpark A coach Karen
Ponsonby said the team were
underdogs going into the
final. “To be honest, Broadfield
should win. We haven’t had a
training in four years,” she said.
“We do have a lot of
experienced heads and we’ve
scored a lot of goals this year, so
I’m sure we’ll give them a good
challenge.”
•Saturday’s final at the
Lincoln Event Centre will start
at 1.45pm.

Country ready to end Metro’s dominance
• By Jacob Page
CANTERBURY Country will
go into their Craw Shield match
against Canterbury Metro on
Sunday at Kaiapoi on a high
after beating Southland Country
36-13.
After narrowly losing their
opening game to Marlborough
in Blenheim a fortnight ago,
Canterbury Country dominated
at set-piece time to ease past
Southland Country in Darfield
on Saturday.
Canterbury Country coach
Nigel Smith said while he was
happy with their scrum and
lineout dominance, he admitted
their defensive pattern and skill
execution on attack would need
to be better against Metro.
Canterbury Country have not
beaten Metro in 10 years,
“We dominated early in the
scrums and won seven lineouts
on their ball so that laid a good
platform. Not everyone has
bought into the defensive pattern
just yet, but it was better than
week one,” he said.
“We identified the space well
on attack and ran hard at the
line, but our skill execution let us
down. We probably left 20 points
out there,”
Smith praised Springston
centre Shaun Harrington.
“He ran the ball hard all
day and was defensively very

committed. We call his position
‘the edge’ and he made sure
there were no defensive holes
there,” Smith said.
“This weekend is our big game
and we’ll have to execute as best
we can.”
Smith said, with the match
acting as a Canterbury B trial,
he hoped several players will put
in big performances to try and
impress the selectors.
“I’ve been really impressed
with a lot of our young talent
and hopefully that shows
through on Saturday.”
Smith said players like
Glenmark-Cheviot blindside
flanker Ben Anderson and
Waihora prop Jim Cummings
continued to impress.
“I’m not sure how Ben does it.
He’ll steal your lineout ball and
he’s always near the ball around
the field – he’s got a big work
rate,” Smith said.
“Jim is a guy we picked
on a whim three years ago
and he’s got better every single
game for us. He solidifies our
scrum.”
•Sunday’s match at Kaiapoi
will kick off at 3pm.

and just trying to spot dad at
every part of the race I could,”
he said.
“I loved the atmosphere of the
race and watching my dad and
others push themselves,”
Reece and his father used to
train together, but Rob admits
his son is too quick for him now.
Reece qualified for the Gold
Coast event, which runs from
September 12-16, by finishing
15th overall in the Pegasus
classic triathlon in November.
Reece said with age-group
triathlon courses shorter than
the open grade courses, he is
focused on getting fit enough to
run at a consistent tempo.
“Your pacing has to be right as
you can’t blow up on one leg of
the race, you just have to go as
hard and as fast as you can.”
Reece said he was excited
to test himself on the same
course that was used for the
Commonwealth Games in April.
“It’s a flat course which
probably suits my style.”
Reece will swim for 750m,
cycle for 20km and finish with a
5km run.
He will turn 16 just three days
before the race and being the
youngest competitor meant he
wasn’t sure how he would go.
“I don’t have any expectations
on where I’d like to finish,” he
said.
“Being my first big
international race, I just want
to see where I’m at and that will
help me work out my training
going forward.”
Reece said he would like to
represent New Zealand at the
Commonwealth Games and the
Olympics in the coming years.

FESTIVITY: One-hundred-and-twenty people attended Hororata’s mid-winter
dinner in the Hororata Hall last Friday. The dinner was about bringing communities
together to celebrate the past, present and future. Master of ceremonies Gavin
King along with Kate Foster reminisced on past events which had been held in
the hall. Craig Blackburn spoke of what the future holds with the new Hororata
Community Centre. The hall was themed in a similar fashion to the 1957 young

Facelift keeps Mazda CX-5 fresh
• By Ross Kiddie
MAZDA NEW Zealand is well
pleased with the performance of
its sport utility vehicle range.
So much so, that a new model
has just recently joined the lineup
- the CX-8. In total Mazda has
four sport utility vehicles in varying
sizes, but the most popular
by far and consistently topping
the sales charts in medium SUV
market is the CX-5.
The CX-5 has been around
since 2012, and early last year
it underwent a huge life cycle
change, reinforcing its desire to
buyers and not relinquishing its
command in the market.
That’s no surprise to me, if you
take any vehicle out of the Mazda
stable today you’ll find quality,
and one which is pleasing in
almost every respect.
Mazda hasn’t rested on its
laurels with CX-5, just a short
time after the latest generation
model was released, the SUV has
had a bit of a makeover, there’s
a realignment of specification,
and an increase in specification
for safety. There’s also an engine
upgrade across all driveline variations
– 2-litre petrol, 2.5-litre petrol
and 2.2-litre diesel. Economy
has been improved, emissions
lowered further and refinement
further increased.
The latter is important, for the
MAZDA CX-5: Major makeover for 2019.
CX-5 has become a vehicle which
thrills with its sophistication, it is
smooth, quiet and amazingly civilised
for what would be deemed
a mainstream car.
Mazda offers the CX-5 in six
variants ranging from $39,995 for
the entry-level 2-litre, and ending
at $57,995 for the range-topping
Limited diesel. Incidentally,
Mazda’s prices include on-road
costs and a three-year/100,000km
free servicing programme.
The evaluation car was the
range-topper, albeit with the 2.5-
litre petrol engine. Column space
doesn’t allow comprehensive
detailing of the engine’s combustion
changes, but I can report
the new unit is a work of art, it is
strong, responsive, and delivers
without vibration nor harshness.
With outputs of 140kW and
252Nm, the 2488cc four-potter
also has power and torque which
will satisfy under most conditions.
The CX-5 is quick for an
SUV, it will scamper to 100km/h
from a standstill in around
9sec and will make an overtaking
manoeuvre in 5sec. Drive
is channelled to all four wheels
through a conventional six-speed
automatic transmission.
The latter has also had some
technical changes so that it
works more in harmony with the
engine, the result is a fluid and
balanced change of ratios, bearing
in mind, too, that the driver
can enhance engine urgency
through a console-mounted sport
mode.
Personally, I used the standard
• Price – Mazda CX-5 Ltd,
$55,745
• Dimensions – Length,
4550mm; width, 1840mm;
height, 1675mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,
2488cc,
140kW, 252Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.9sec
• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km
normal mode for most of my
evaluation at city speeds, it works
intuitively and doesn’t load the
engine greatly, further enhancing
that economy equation.
Of course, if you like the speed
of sport mode the CX-5 takes on
a lively personality that is useful
on the long highway trek, overtaking
for example, or if the driver
feels like a bit a push through
the tight and twisties.
I had a Trade Me item to
deliver to an address in Rangiora,
so on return to my home in
the city I used the roads from
Loburn to Oxford, crossing the
Waimakariri Gorge bridge to
the Old West Coast Rd. While
the vast majority of this route is
straight, there are some tricky
corners and it was nice to feel the
CX-5’s clingy road manners.
At almost 1.7m tall the CX-5
could be excused for being a
little unbalanced in a corner, but
that’s not the case, with sensible
spring and damper rates and a
sophisticated fully independent
suspension set-up there is
controlled body movement and
decisive suspension absorption.
To be fair, the CX-5, and all
others of its ilk, are not serious
off-road vehicles. The CX-5 is a
handy wagon that will take you
cross-country in style, and it is
useful when the seal runs out.
However, the CX-5’s fourwheel-drive
system is more for
the benefit in low-grip situations,
and on my journey I had
to make a detour through a long
gravel section, the test car felt
well attached to the road and
comfortable when pushed on the
greasy surface. That being the
case, I have no hesitation in saying
that it is a car which will suit
the ski-field access road, and I’m
sure many owners use it for that
purpose.
On that subject, the CX-5’s
popularity doesn’t stop with just
new car buyers, the range also
commands good coin in the preowned
market, which is testament
to the quality of product
and the way buyers view Mazda
vehicles in total.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
For the love of Betty
Thomas Costello has owned more than one Plymouth Duster; the
first when living in Hawaii when he met his wife Leanne in 1991.
His interest in the car was rekindled five years ago
when Thomas purchased a 1974 Plymouth Duster.
“I watched it on TradeMe for around eighteen
months until a ‘buy now’ price tempted me,” explains
Thomas.
Thomas and Leanne love their Plymouth, reminding
them of when they first met.
The Plymouth is powered by a 410 Small Block Indy
headed stroker motor with 727 automatic transmission
and 3000 stall running through an 8¾ rear end
differential, 3.23 ratio and trutrac centre and is fitted
with 275/60/15 tyres.
“It’s loud and aggressive,” says Thomas, who found
the car’s restoration to be a great family project with his
sons helping recondition and enhance the motor and
rebuild the suspension
The Plymouth has an imitation snakeskin vinyl
rooftop and its original paintwork (complete with
dents, dings and scratches), and is nicknamed ‘Brown
Betty’ due to its colour, a name that has caught on with
friends who call her ‘Betty’.
It has a tidy interior while the dashboard has been
refurbished and the automatic transmission mounted
on the floor, as opposed to the original column gear
change.
“I’ve had a couple of manual floor mounted
Plymouths, which are probably worth more, however,
the Duster has sentimental value and is a fun car,”
explains Thomas who says the family love cruising in
it.
“My eldest son is tall so prefers driving the Plymouth
rather than accessing the back seat where there’s only
room for two. The front bench has seatbelts for three.”
The whole rear seat back can pack down flat
making room for skis or surfboards. This feature was
introduced in 1973, with only around 300 made with
this option in 1974.
Most weekends, the family head out in ‘Betty’.
“There’s no point owning a special car if you don’t
drive and enjoy it,” suggests Thomas, who thinks his
Plymouth Duster may currently be the only one in
Canterbury as it is usually one of a kind at car events,
although at Caroline Bay it had the company of a
Plymouth Duster from Dunedin.
“People love its uniqueness and appreciate the work
that’s gone into the car.”
Thomas and the boys have taken the car around the
circuit as well as down the ¼ mile at Ruapuna. They
have also made many like-minded friends who helped
and encouraged Thomas during its restoration.
This kind of support is the reason Thomas and others
from the Selwyn Petrolheads are assisting with another
Selwyn Motor Fest, where the 1974 Plymouth Duster
will also be on show.
With the support of the Selwyn District Council,
this event will be held on Sunday, 25th November,
from 10am until 3pm (on the same site as last year -
opposite Rolleston College). If wishing to be involved
as a sponsor or exhibitor, contact selwynmotorfest@
gmail.com.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
Local business expansion
reflects district’s growth
The population and business growth
in the Selwyn district have seen many
local businesses expanding and Rolleston
based Holland Collision Centre is one
such business with the company currently
finalising Council consent for the
construction of a new building just across
the road from their existing site.
The business will still be working out
of its current site with the new building
devoted to repairs that are more structural
in nature. The new panel shop will be
fitted out with a new 3D chassis measuring
system and the latest technology in the
field, allowing Holland Collision Centre to
keep up with demand for heavy structural
repairs, such as when a vehicle is in a
serious crash or more complex repairs need
to be undertaken.
Business will not be interrupted during
the process of construction with the new
building is expected to be up and running
by the end of the year.
As specialists in all facets of panel repairs
from the removal dents and dings to larger
structural repairs and paint refinishing
on vehicles of all sizes, Hollands Collision
Centre is well positioned to serve the
people of Rolleston as well as other parts of
the Selwyn district. Whether it is a smaller
car or larger vehicle such as a motorhome,
caravan, horse float or any kind of work or
refinishing needed for a truck, they have
the expertise and equipment to do the job.
As a local employer, many young people
have had the opportunity to enter the
industry with apprenticeships at Holland
Collision Centre. Many have also had
promotional opportunities, taking on
higher level positions within the company.
One such person is Jake Ackers, who
recently won an IAG business scholarship
after being one of 40 candidates.
Jake has now moved from his role as
panel shop foreman to become the second
on-site assessor. With two on-site assessors
and as approved repairers for all major
insurance companies, Holland Collision
Centre is now in an even better position
to look after your panel needs. They can
take care of the paperwork along with the
repairs to have you back on the road in the
quickest possible time. Loan cars are also
available if needed.
Holland Collision Centre would like to
thank all their customers including their
local business clients for their continued
patronage over the years.
Holland Collision Centre is open
7.30am until 5pm, Mondays to Fridays
and Saturday mornings from 8am until
12noon. If you need their assistance you

PETS & PAWS
Don’t forget me
In September 2010 and February 2011 Canterbury experienced two
major earthquakes. People weren’t the only casualties of these
disasters; hundreds of animals were affected too. Some of these
frightened animals suffered homelessness, injury, and abandonment.
In September 2010 and February 2011
Canterbury experienced two major

Do you have a plan in place for your
pet in the event of a disaster?
New Zealanders have strong bonds with
their pets. The more pets you have, the
less likely you are to evacuate if you have
insufficient resources.*
When a disaster happens – earthquake,
flood, fire, hurricane, there is much to
think about. Firstly the safety of you and
your family, however your pets are family
too, so if you own one or more pets, then it
is worthwhile creating a plan of action that
includes them also.
If you have to leave, take your pet
with you.

property for several days, and your pet may
not survive without you. Quickly collect
your pet/s, cover them with a towel or
blanket or put them in a pet carrier or on a
lead. Leave their toys and bedding behind if
urgency and safety are paramount.
If you cannot leave, keep your pets close
to you. Do not let them crawl under beds,
as they may be crushed (earthquake). For
your safety, as your pet may be terrified,
cover and wrap them with a towel or
blanket. After the crisis has passed, comfort
your pet with words of encouragement and
lots of cuddles.
Other things you can do, in case your
terrified pet escapes, is to make sure it is
tagged and microchipped with your up-todate
contact details.

Develop a taste for tangy tamarillo
• By Diana Noonan
TAMARILLO are a
favourite cool-season fruit,
maturing from March or
April, and well into winter.
Depending on variety and
pruning regimes, they will
even continue to produce
into early December.
Three main varieties of
tamarillo are now available.
The reds, with their deep
purple-red skin and darkred
colouring around black
seeds, are especially sought
after for decorating dessert
dishes.
Amber varieties, with
a golden skin tinged with
a red blush, are said to be
the sweetest tamarillos,
although the fruit tends
to be smaller than those
of other varieties. Gold
tamarillos are large and
fleshy and are a little sweeter

Safety
in the
Garden
As we approach the prime time for gardening, it is a
timely reminder for everyone about the safe practices for
gardening.
Gardening is very popular here in Canterbury and as the
weather improves we will find ourselves out and about
in the garden more over the coming months. With this in
mind, we want to ensure everyone is aware of the safe
practices of gardening, most importantly how to protect
yourself from contracting Legionnaires.
Legionellosis (Legionnaire’s disease) is a form of
pneumonia, and is caused by a bacterium called
Legionella found in moist conditions in the environment.
You can catch the disease by inhaling airborne droplets
or particles that contain the bacteria. The illness can
present itself in mild or severe cases, and can sometimes
be fatal. It is more common in elderly people, particularly
if they smoke, have poor immunity, or are already ill. It
will usually develop in 2-10 days after exposure to the
bacteria and symptoms include fever, chills, headaches
and muscle pain. It will then develop into chest infectionlike
symptoms. If you do present with these symptoms
after gardening, inform your Doctor you have been doing
so, so they can test for Legionnaires.
Please head to our website www.igro.co.nz for more
information about Legionnaires, or give us a call on 03
3479415.
than the reds.
The tamarillo is a
subtropical plant that is
frost-tender to -2 deg C.
Grown under cover, they
become susceptible to
sclerotinia rot.
This limits the areas
where the trees can be
planted although gardeners
in marginal areas can hedge
their bets by planting close
to a heat-retaining wall and
We are here
new
product
Here are some tips to reduce
your chances of contracting
this disease:
• Read the warning labels
on bags of compost and
potting mixes
• Wear gloves when
handling soils, mulches,
composts and potting
mixes
• Wear a dust mask if you
are using these mixes
indoors, or if it is windy
• Dampen mixes before
using them
• Always open bags away
from your face and in
an open area (not in a
greenhouse)
• Wash your hands
thoroughly before eating,
drinking or smoking or
touching your face
under the eaves of a house
with a sunny north-facing
aspect.
Tamarillo seriously
resent wet feet so excellent
drainage is essential.
However, their shallow
roots also render the trees
susceptible to drought so
moisture must be provided
during summer.
The key to knowing when
to pick tamarillo is to be
familiar with the variety
you are growing and to pick
when the entire fruit is the
colour described on the
growing label.
If the stalk has begun to
turn yellow, and is slightly
loose where it meets the
fruit, this is another sign of
full ripeness.
Picked at this stage, the
fruit will keep for up to
two weeks in a fridge or for
a week in a bowl at room
temperature. If you pick
fruit when there is still a
ring of green around the
top (the stalk end), the fruit
won’t ripen to sweetness
and will remain acidic.
Store tamarillo with other
fruit, such as apples, to
hasten ripening.
•www.gardener.kiwi
FLAVOUR: A well-tended tamarillo tree will produce
up to 20kg of fruit.

Luxury, space and garaging!
From the moment you step through the front door, the
clever use of light and placement of amenities ushers you
forth into a myriad of possibility.
Every aspect of this home has been methodically
conceptualized. Set apart by quality design and premium
materials, the expansive views of the garden practically
transport the viewer to the countryside, despite the
convenience of its well-heeled address in one of Rolleston
premier neighbourhoods.
Both serene and inviting, this property’s meticulous
configuration and flow of space will appeal to many. Art
and design enthusiasts will appreciate the tall ceilings and
appointed interior wall space from which to hang their
collection. Any would-be chef would be pleased with the
induction cooktop, double wall ovens, butlers pantry and
oversized central island. The well-equipped and highly
organized will delight in this property’s vast amount of
storage and all who inspect in person will recognize the high
quality of furnishings and the incorporation of thoughtful
technology, such as internal vacuuming, Bose entertainment
system and auto louvre roof over the outdoor entertainment
area. Whilst the interior exudes warmth and luxury, the
garden was clearly designed with entertaining in mind.
Address: 2 Riverstone Drive, Rolleston
The many double-glazed windows overlook the impeccably
landscaped garden oasis, treed and gated for privacy,
With four car garaging and parking for boats and caravans
this home surely will not last.

18 Boulez Mews, Rolleston
After 9 years in this simply remarkable home my vendors
and their busy family have out grown this generous
property and are making it available to the market.
Situated in one of Rolleston’s premier neighbourhoods,
this home needs to be explored to be fully appreciated.
Whether it’s the expansive north facing gardens, or the
exceptional outdoor entertainment area, the oversized
open plan living or the chefs kitchen with butlers pantry,
you most certainly will be the envy of all your friends at 18
4 2 2 1 3
Boulez Mews.
To further enhance this family friendly homes
desirability is triple car garaging, as well off street
parking for caravans, boats, maybe even a bus! I’m
pretty sure the lot will fit.
If you’ve been battling with the lack of space look no
further.
One thing is absolutely certain, viewing is an
absolute must!

Building on a budget
Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with
a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford.

41 Shelley Street,
Rolleston
Get smart with your money to achieve
your dream home without compromising
on what’s really important.
Consider buying a large plot of land with
friends or family which you can split into
smaller lots. Many great
locations tend to cover
more ground, so get the
stunning harbour view
you dream of by sharing
the cost with someone you
don’t mind having as a
neighbour.
Opting for lowmaintenance
building
materials, like vinyl siding
and metal roofing saves in
the long run. Although
they may be more
expensive to install you
will save money on future
repairs, replacement or
repainting.
Using salvaged and recycled
materials and componentry
from the abundance of
demolition sites around the
city not only adds valuable
character to new builds, but
can save money, too.
For the safety and security
of your home, don’t skimp on structural
elements, doors and windows. Buy the
very best you can afford and, together
with your architect or builder, determine
other areas you could save on to allow for
a few luxuries.
It’s important not to waste valuable cash
on overbuilding. Look carefully at the
existing properties in the area and be

what you want

it will ensure you stay

and all with
minimal stress.
aware that building a home that is bigger
and better than those of your neighbours
will not necessarily equate to a fair price
if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the
value of your build will be determined
by the lower-priced homes
around it.
The experience of a wellqualified
contractor is an
invaluable asset in any
building project. Not only
should anything go wrong,
but their experience in
the industry means they
will have established
relationships with suppliers
and subcontractors, whom
they trust to deliver the best
workmanship possible.
Keep a close eye on
construction allowances as
your home is being built
to ensure you are getting
what you asked for and
what you paid for. if you
had initially agreed on
using a specific brand, for
example, then don’t settle
for less, unless you discuss
a cost adjustment with your
builder or contractor.
Many a building project has snowballed
out of control in the financial department
due to changes being made to the design
and materials once building is already
underway. Deciding exactly what you
want and then sticking with it will ensure
you stay on budget, within your expected
time frame, and all with minimal stress.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Stunning home design
You will be swept away by the quality,
style and presentation of Faye Homes’
new Faringdon show home. Built with
family living in mind, all 283sqm (240sqm
interior/43sqm portico) is a must see.
“Everyone loves this house. It has great
orientation for the sun so is extremely
warm and energy efficient,” says Marshall
Wang from Faye Homes.
There is excellent flow making this home
ideal for raising a family, especially with
the natural division between living and
bedroom quarters, so there is peace for
those sleeping.
With open plan living, there is room to
move, play and interact yet double sliders
mean the lounge can also be closed off for
a warm, quiet, private place where a gas
fire adds to the ambience. The dining and
living areas balance the grand kitchen,
which looks out across its generous island
to a large hardwood deck. Tucked in
behind is a scullery making the perfect
little kitchenette complete with large
appliance cupboard and sink, so the mess
stays out of sight.
With perfect indoor/outdoor flow
this home is ideal for family living and
entertaining; right down to the outdoor
gas fire set within the portico.
The master bedroom is a haven. Sliders
lead out to a sheltered courtyard, also
accessed from the living area. The ensuite
has a double vanity, fully tiled walk-in
shower and separate toilet; all tucked in
behind a large walk-in robe which boasts
lots of shelving and hanging space.
Each double bedroom has a large
wardrobe and study nook. These are
served by the main bathroom, which is
three rooms in one; a separate toilet, a
showering room with freestanding bath
and walk-in tiled shower, and vanity area.
The result is: three people can use the
facilities at one time.
The show home has true double garaging
and fantastic storage with two large double
cupboards in the hall, as well as another
in the spacious laundry, all with striking
designer series panel doors. The laundry
itself is pure class, with built-in cabinetry
and engineered stone bench top, as is in
the kitchen and scullery.
Throughout, the Hampton style comes
to the fore with detailed architraves,
cabinetry and internal doors adding a
feeling of opulence.
A masterful blend of polystyrene, schist
and cedar form the exterior cladding. The
result is a home, which has an incredible
presence on its 784sqm section.
Faye Homes has had tremendous
response from people viewing their
latest show home; not surprising given
its high-quality fit-out and attention to
detail. There are many extra features like
the continuation of the schist stone wall
into the entryway, subtly dividing the front
door from the living area. Another is the
coat/footwear room, which ensures a tidy
front entrance.
Faye Homes’ Faringdon show home
is located at 560 East Maddisons Road
in Rolleston and is open 12noon-
4pm, Wednesdays to Sundays or by
appointment.

Making the most of
show home viewing
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for
features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful
for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design.
Before heading out for a day’s
viewing, conduct an internet search.
identify the locations of show home
villages and the types and sizes of the
various building company’s homes on
display, noting down the square metre
size of each home.
if wanting a high end, architectural
design, focus on the larger homes that
have desirable design features. if at the
entry or middle level of the market,
earmark homes that fit this taking in
other show homes for extra ideas.
allow sufficient time when visiting each
show home, asking for a floor plan that
has room sizes before walking through.
Check also the floor to ceiling height
of the rooms and consider how this feels
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or
more spaciousness created with a higher
stud or exposed ceiling beams.
if doors and windows are taller than
normal, weigh their effect in creating
a more luxurious and spacious feel,
against potential inconvenience for small
children, cleaning and maintenance.
on entering each room, take account of
how much furniture is in each room and
whether there is sufficient space for the
furniture you will have in the room and
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look
too, at storage capacity throughout the
home and whether this is adequate.
in the living areas, consider whether a
lounge separated from the family living
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,
living/lounge area is preferable, and
compare internal kitchens with those that
have natural light.
Look too at the layout of
the kitchen: whether to have
an island sink or breakfast
bar where a newspaper can
be read, and children can
sit and draw or complete
homework; the positioning
of appliances; and how
important having a pantry is.
for the little rooms, equate
space and features desired
with that needed, especially
if the budget needs to be
sharp. it might be nice to
have a large walk-in shower
with double shower heads
but is this just fanciful and
will the extra cleaning annoy you long
term. a laundry in the garage is also more
economical though a separate laundry
may be handier.
Bring the garage size into the equation
also. as these vary considerably, assess
the actual measurements of each garage
viewed comparing this with the space
needed for your motor vehicles and other
items to be stored there. if a good number
of toys will be housed there, it may be
sensible to increase the size of this area of
the home.
By imagining what you need, want and
will have in your new home, you will be in
a better position to confidently choose a
design that works for you.
