Fulton<br />

Hogan<br />

to meet<br />

residents<br />

over<br />

quarry<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

FULTON HOGAN officials<br />

will front up in Templeton<br />

for the first time next week to<br />

discuss their quarry proposal.<br />

Since first announcing<br />

the 170ha quarry plan for<br />

Templeton and Weedons last<br />

year, the company has not held<br />

public meetings in Templeton.<br />

Fulton Hogan is planning a<br />

series of information evenings<br />

from November 6-8 in a<br />

marquee next to the Templeton<br />

Community Centre.<br />

There will also be a session<br />

at the drop-in centre at the<br />

proposed quarry site, 220 Jones<br />

Rd, on Monday.<br />

Residents can hear the latest<br />

information relating to the<br />

quarry proposal and discuss<br />

concerns with Fulton Hogan’s<br />

technical experts.<br />

Templeton Residents’<br />

Association chairman Garry<br />

Kilday welcomed the move but<br />

called for more. “I would’ve<br />

preferred the way we wanted<br />

it, if the whole community is<br />

engaged.” he said.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

LINCOLN’S BJORN Horrack will get a<br />

taste of boxing’s big time when he fights on<br />

the Joseph Parker-Alexander Flores undercard<br />

in December.<br />

The 29-year-old, who we feature in<br />

today’s paper, will fight another Cantabrian<br />

Quintin Poole, who is 30kg heavier than him, in a corporate<br />

bout.<br />

This will be a big night for Horrack at Horncastle Arena<br />

where there will be all of the trappings for a name as big a<br />

Parker’s in world boxing.<br />

A world title hopeful Parker still is, as he attempts to wind his<br />

way back into contention after losing to Anthony Joshua and<br />

Dillian Whyte.<br />

Poole will be no Joshua or Whyte, but it’ll still seem like a<br />

major title fight in front of what will be a big crowd.<br />

Concern over six<br />

before six at Garden Party<br />

But overall<br />

police happy<br />

with behaviour<br />

• By Karen Pasco<br />

IF THE police were to write a<br />

report card about the student<br />

Garden Party at Lincoln<br />

University it would say in<br />

the comments “still room for<br />

improvement”.<br />

Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen<br />

said on the whole attendees at<br />

the party had<br />

behaved well.<br />

But the<br />

Kelly Larsen<br />

Loud parties<br />

could be heard<br />

before 6am in residential<br />

Lincoln, and police shadowed<br />

students as they walked from<br />

party to party.<br />

Said Senior Sergeant Kelly<br />

Larsen: “We’re happy with the<br />

“There’s still room for<br />

Lincoln University Students’<br />

Association manager Fiona Kay<br />

said regardless of their level of<br />

intoxication, all ticket-holders<br />

were admitted into the event as<br />

the association had a “duty of<br />

care” to attendees.<br />

The garden party was<br />

organised by the association.<br />

“We provide a safe<br />

environment for them to sober<br />

up if they are intoxicated (when<br />

they arrive). Upon entry they<br />

will go into a medical tent staffed<br />

by ambulance service Horizons,”<br />

she said.<br />

Once in this area, the ticketholder<br />

is not allowed back into<br />

the event. The staff will then<br />

organise safe transport home for<br />

the individual via a friend<br />

or family member once they<br />

have deemed it safe for them to<br />

do so.<br />

Only five people out of 2700<br />

attendees were admitted into the<br />

medical tent throughout the day<br />

and one non-Lincoln student<br />

was arrested.<br />

New fire station’s<br />

grand opening<br />

in West Melton<br />

The West Melton Fire Station was officially opened<br />

on Friday. It has replaced the original station, which<br />

was built about 53 years ago and demolished in May.<br />

The West Melton Volunteer Rural Fire Force took<br />

over the building in July after the final sign off from<br />

the district council. Chief fire officer John Doherty said<br />

the opening was “very good” and “well-attended.”<br />

Springfield water races examined<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

SPRINGFIELD’S water<br />

race infrastructure has been<br />

inspected after concerns over the<br />

flooding and cleaning of culverts<br />

in the area.<br />

The district council carried out<br />

an examination of water races,<br />

culverts and tip out points this<br />

month after the issue was raised<br />

at a Springfield Township<br />

Committee meeting.<br />

The main water race at Bishops<br />

Creek was inspected within the<br />

build up material that will be<br />

The work will be completed<br />

It comes after <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

flooding.<br />

It follows an event in February<br />

when heavy rain caused the<br />

water race to overflow, resulting<br />

in flooding of the nearby area.<br />

The district council is investigating<br />

Dr Smith’s suggestions<br />

and will report back at the next<br />

water race sub-committee.<br />

Committee chairman Graeme<br />

Dawson said he was pleased the<br />

district council was looking at<br />

the issue.<br />

“They have got a responsibility<br />

and they are obviously taking it<br />

reasonably seriously so that is all<br />

we need,” he said.<br />

Mr Dawson said the concerns<br />

come after the heavy rain across<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> in August last year which<br />

led to blockages of the water<br />

races causing minor flooding.<br />

But he said in the last 20 years,<br />

the district council has really got<br />

on top of resolving this problem.<br />

Why is <strong>Selwyn</strong> growing faster than<br />

Figures released last week<br />

by Statistics NZ show<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> is the second<br />

fastest growing district<br />

in New Zealand. So what<br />

makes it a desirable place<br />

to live? Emily O’Connell<br />

reports<br />

AFFORDABLE land, a familyfriendly<br />

environment, excellent<br />

infrastructure, great road and<br />

rail links for business and<br />

stunning natural landscapes.<br />

That’s what Mayor Sam<br />

Broughton<br />

believes <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

has to offer.<br />

He’s not<br />

surprised to see<br />

its population<br />

has kept growing,<br />

with the latest<br />

Sam figures estimating<br />

Broughton more than 62,000<br />

people reside in<br />

the district – up<br />

4.8 per cent from<br />

last year.<br />

Population<br />

estimates from<br />

Statistics NZ<br />

have confirmed<br />

Ben Harris <strong>Selwyn</strong> as the<br />

third-largest<br />

territorial authority in the South<br />

Island.<br />

Bayleys Canterbury’s Ben<br />

Harris believes there is a<br />

“multitude of reasons” people<br />

are moving out to <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

Lincoln in particular.<br />

He’s the lead agent for<br />

Verdeco Park – a new residential<br />

subdivision in Lincoln.<br />

Mr Harris said Lincoln has<br />

easy access to Christchurch,<br />

multiple amenities, good<br />

schooling, a wide array of cafes,<br />

restaurants and bars and is a<br />

“good healthy environment to<br />

bring up families.”<br />

So what is being done to cater<br />

for the growing population?<br />

District council community<br />

relations manager Denise<br />

Kidd said it understands the<br />

population has changed and it<br />

has worked to provide key assets<br />

to the community.<br />

“Like the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic<br />

Centre, community and<br />

event centres, libraries, which<br />

also host a range of events,<br />

sporting grounds and dozens<br />

of playgrounds around <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

featuring a range of interactive<br />

play areas,” she said.<br />

Ms Kidd said it also works to<br />

provide programmes, such as<br />

CONSTRUCT:<br />

New<br />

subdivisions<br />

across the<br />

district like<br />

this one in<br />

Rolleston will<br />

help cater<br />

for the area’s<br />

growing<br />

population.<br />

KidsFest, Boost and CultureFest,<br />

to engage the community and<br />

provide entertainment for a wide<br />

range of local residents.<br />

Mr Broughton said there has<br />

been a significant number of<br />

international arrivals in <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />

with more than 300 becoming<br />

citizens over the last year.<br />

In the year to June, the district<br />

council issued 2458 building<br />

consents, only slightly lower<br />

than the previous year.<br />

Mr Harris said the median<br />

house price in <strong>Selwyn</strong> last<br />

month was $550,000, up from<br />

September last year when it was<br />

$535,000. “<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s average<br />

house price . . . is the highest in<br />

the wider Canterbury region<br />

with Waimakariri‘s average<br />

house price being $453,000,<br />

closely followed by Christchurch<br />

city on $452,500 for the<br />

month of September <strong>2018</strong>,” he<br />

said.<br />

Within the district, Mr Harris<br />

said the median house price<br />

tends to be higher in Lincoln,<br />

followed by Rolleston and then<br />

Darfield.<br />

“The median house increase,<br />

particularly in Lincoln and<br />

Rolleston, is being driven by<br />

new home builds in the area that<br />

attract obviously a higher price,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Harris said there were 71<br />

properties sold in <strong>Selwyn</strong> last<br />

month, up from 69 in September<br />

last year. With just under 80,000<br />

people expected to live in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

by 2028, he says the population<br />

will need somewhere to live,<br />

“hence the growing number of<br />

residential developments.”<br />

The recently released updated<br />

draft Greater Christchurch<br />

Settlement Pattern will go out for<br />

public consultation tomorrow<br />

until November 30 after being<br />

approved by the Greater<br />

Christchurch Partnership<br />

Committee.<br />

Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>31</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 7<br />

other districts?<br />

The report predicts the<br />

population of <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />

Waimakariri and<br />

Christchurch will increase<br />

by 150,000 in the next 30<br />

years.<br />

The update includes a<br />

focus on how urban areas<br />

accommodate growth<br />

and how infrastructure<br />

planning supports<br />

development.<br />

It said 20 per cent of<br />

greater Christchurch’s<br />

housing growth through to<br />

2048 should be supported<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, with the<br />

remaining 65 per cent in<br />

Christchurch and 15 per<br />

cent in Waimakariri.<br />

It comes after the 2007<br />

urban development<br />

strategy forecasted 29 per<br />

cent of growth would be<br />

split between <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

Waimakariri.<br />

However, that was before<br />

the two districts flourished<br />

as residents moved out of<br />

the city after the February<br />

22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s economy is on<br />

a strong growth curve. The<br />

district’s gross domestic<br />

product for the year to<br />

June increased by 5.3 per<br />

cent – nearly double the<br />

GOLD<br />

MON - FRI<br />

Lynn Townsend<br />

New Zealand average of 2.7<br />

per cent, and well ahead of<br />

the Canterbury regional<br />

figure of 2.5 per cent.<br />

But Lincoln Hammer<br />

Hardware owner Lynn<br />

Townsend said he’s “not<br />

so sure <strong>Selwyn</strong> businesses<br />

are reaping or getting the<br />

benefit of that growth.”<br />

“It would seem to me<br />

they’re [residents] still<br />

buying in the city or<br />

somewhere. I don’t think<br />

the growth in businesses in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> necessarily reflects<br />

the growth in housing and<br />

population,” he said.<br />

Looking to the future,<br />

Mr Townsend said<br />

it’s “possible” <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

businesses will see more<br />

of the benefits as more<br />

businesses move to the<br />

district.<br />

The report revealed<br />

there are questions around<br />

whether there is enough<br />

development capacity in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> and Waimakariri<br />

to meet the demand in the<br />

long term.<br />

The projected shortfalls<br />

are 7575 developments<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and 9170 in<br />

Waimakariri.<br />

“Our plan seeks to<br />

ensure that sufficient<br />

housing capacity is<br />

provided in both <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

and Waimakariri to enable<br />

growth in district towns,”<br />

the report said.<br />

It proposed new<br />

greenfield housing areas<br />

should be released in<br />

places like Rolleston to<br />

help address the shortfalls.<br />

•On-site viewings<br />

will be held today and<br />

tomorrow from 4pm<br />

to 7.30pm at Verdeco<br />

News<br />

A group of savvy business<br />

women have set up a<br />

group to provide support,<br />

friendship and give back<br />

to the Sewlyn community.<br />

Karen Pasco talks to the<br />

founding members about<br />

how it all started<br />

AN ACCOUNTANT, real estate<br />

agent and photographer walk<br />

into a room. It sounds like the<br />

start of a bad joke, but this is<br />

actually a meeting of the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Women in Business – a cluster of<br />

business owners who are helping<br />

each other through the ups and<br />

downs of owning their own<br />

company.<br />

The group was set up this year<br />

by Nyki McQueen and Kathryn<br />

Boyd, an insurance broker and<br />

lingerie saleswoman respectively.<br />

They met at a networking<br />

group run by someone who was<br />

pocketing the monthly fees from<br />

its attendees.<br />

“So we decided that we would<br />

set up our own, and give <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

women in business access to a<br />

networking group that wouldn’t<br />

cost them any regular monthly<br />

payments, as a way to network,<br />

to get brand awareness for<br />

women in the group and local<br />

awareness for our businesses,”<br />

said Mrs McQueen.<br />

“Most of us don’t have shop<br />

fronts or really a good way to get<br />

a local presence, so this gives us<br />

an opportunity to create that.”<br />

For Mrs Boyd it was also about<br />

taking care of fellow female<br />

business owners.<br />

“I’ve always believed it’s<br />

important for women to<br />

support women in business. In<br />

this group, we come together<br />

and share ideas and we’re able<br />

to promote our business and<br />

encourage each other,” she says.<br />

For the first few months,<br />

it was just the pair meeting<br />

regularly, then once the local<br />

grapevine gathered momentum,<br />

the membership grew with<br />

12 regular members now<br />

attending. The group includes<br />

an interior designer, a stylist,<br />

real estate agents, a lawyer and<br />

an accountant. The group meets<br />

regularly and Mrs McQueen<br />

admits they usually spend the<br />

first 20min catching up.<br />

The support is paramount, as<br />

many of the women work from<br />

home which can be isolating and<br />

lonely. The group allows them to<br />

have contact with like-minded<br />

entrepreneurs and also helps<br />

with marketing.<br />

The word-of-mouth referral<br />

system is imperative for each<br />

member, says Mrs Boyd.<br />

“It works so much better than<br />

putting an ad on Facebook,” she<br />

says.<br />

“Word-of-mouth and referrals<br />

is our best place to go to for a lot<br />

of our businesses.”<br />

So far there have been<br />

regular monthly meetings that<br />

sometimes include speakers. Mrs<br />

McQueen says each owner is also<br />

able to give a brief introduction<br />

about their business.<br />

“It’s really important that we<br />

get to know each business and<br />

trust that when we are referring<br />

clients, that we know they are<br />

going to be looked after.”<br />

Community is also at the<br />

forefront of a lot of what they do.<br />

The business owners have also<br />

run two highly-successful night<br />

markets where the proceeds<br />

from the raffles were donated<br />

to local charities. Last week a<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

fundraiser for the Breast Cancer<br />

Foundation was held.<br />

What has become evident<br />

is the support gained from<br />

each other is invaluable, says<br />

Mrs McQueen. “We are all at<br />

different stages in our businesses.<br />

I’ve just set up in business and<br />

there are others that have been<br />

in business a long time. We can<br />

get good advice and talk about<br />

issues because others have been<br />

through similar things.”<br />

When asked what focus the<br />

group will have in the future,<br />

Mrs Boyd says it will be a case of<br />

watch this space.<br />

“I think we’re sort of evolving<br />

as we go. We would like to do<br />

more things in the community.<br />

Things continually develop, with<br />

every meeting we get ideas. One<br />

thing I do know is it is going to<br />

last and it’s going to be strong.”<br />

For Mrs McQueen there has<br />

also been an added bonus.<br />

“I think one of the interesting<br />

things out of it is we’ve made<br />

a lot of good friendships.<br />

Being able to give back to our<br />

community as well is important<br />

to us.”<br />

Our People<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Rebecca Scott<br />

Passion for teaching key to booming<br />

Rebecca Scott is the<br />

manager and owner<br />

of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s awardwinning<br />

Busy Bumbles.<br />

Thousands of children<br />

attend the before,<br />

after school and<br />

holiday programme.<br />

The Rolleston<br />

resident spoke to<br />

Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding about<br />

why she set up the<br />

programme and how<br />

she wanted to be a<br />

teacher since she was<br />

five-years-old<br />

How did Busy Bumbles first<br />

come about?<br />

I set it up nearly nine years<br />

ago. I had been teaching nearly<br />

13 years and then I had my first<br />

child in 2006. I had about three<br />

months off and my husband<br />

is a policeman so he got paid<br />

parental leave as well. That was<br />

good so he stayed home too. But<br />

when I took my child into child<br />

care, although the place he went<br />

was absolutely fantastic, I still<br />

had the “mummy guilt” if you<br />

like, about being at work and not<br />

being a stay at home mum. I just<br />

remember feeling really disappointed<br />

that parents have this<br />

guilt. There are a lot of parents<br />

and mums out there who, like<br />

me, absolutely love working.<br />

My hat goes off to stay at home<br />

mums, but it is not me. We are<br />

made to feel quite guilty about<br />

being at work and it doesn’t help<br />

when your children are upset<br />

and what not about being in<br />

child care. I thought what can<br />

we do so parents don’t feel guilty.<br />

I had this dream of creating a<br />

place where kids wanted to be<br />

and they nagged their parents<br />

to be able to be there and then<br />

I knew that parents wouldn’t<br />

feel guilty about being at work<br />

because their child was having<br />

fun wherever they were.<br />

How do you come up with<br />

the ideas you have for your<br />

children?<br />

I am actually really lucky. Lisa,<br />

who works at the office, does<br />

all our planning. She spends<br />

a whole entire term planning<br />

our holiday programme and<br />

also our term activities because<br />

we have daily activities and<br />

weekly activities as well. She is<br />

absolutely skilled at it. We spend<br />

a whole term doing it and that<br />

is because it is really important<br />

to me that what we create is fun<br />

and interesting and entertaining<br />

and children love it.<br />

Is there one activity your<br />

team has come up with that has<br />

been an absolute favourite?<br />

Anything to do with food.<br />

Children love baking days or<br />

creating things out of food. That<br />

is always a hit so we usually<br />

have some sort of food day just<br />

about every holiday on a different<br />

topic. Some might be about<br />

making animals out of food.<br />

How has the programme<br />

changed since you first started<br />

out?<br />

It was really difficult nine<br />

years ago. What happened<br />

was my husband and I were in<br />

Auckland and then we had two<br />

children. He is born and bred in<br />

Lincoln and we wanted to come<br />

back down to be closer to family<br />

with our children. We made the<br />

tough decision, I would move<br />

down here with a new born and<br />

a two-year-old. He had been in<br />

the police and it took him nine<br />

months to transfer down here.<br />

In that nine months I had the<br />

children and I was setting up the<br />

business. I walked into Rolleston<br />

School and Andrew Morrall,<br />

the principal then, believed in<br />

everything I was saying and<br />

really liked what my values and<br />

vision were. He agreed to have us<br />

on site and we began there with<br />

our first venue. There are now<br />

thousands of children on our<br />

books with ten different venues<br />

and 58 different staff so it has<br />

grown massively which is just<br />

fantastic.<br />

What are your key values for<br />

the programme?<br />

Safety is obviously very<br />

important, that is our number<br />

one priority. Fun, happy<br />

and we like to call it a little<br />

bit crazy and by that we just<br />

mean exciting and fun. My<br />

staff aren’t just coming into<br />

work and sitting there on their<br />

phones while kids muck around<br />

with a box of blocks. They<br />

are actually interacting with<br />

Tell about your recent success<br />

at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

This was our first year<br />

applying for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards<br />

and we won that one which was<br />

fantastic. It was also our first<br />

year being nominated for the<br />

Westpac Champion Awards<br />

<strong>2018</strong>. To get be a finalist for that,<br />

I couldn’t believe it and to be<br />

surrounded with the CEO of<br />

Christchurch Airport and other<br />

businesses. The Westpac awards<br />

were pretty fancy but to win the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Award that is awesome<br />

because that is us. That is the<br />

community we are looking after<br />

and it made me so proud. We<br />

also came runner up in people’s<br />

BIG SUCCESS: Busy Bumbles manager Rebecca Scott (centre)<br />

and her team were the winner of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Award<br />

earlier this year.<br />

You mentioned you wanted to<br />

be a teacher since you were five<br />

years old. Tell me about what<br />

brought that about?<br />

I think it probably had a<br />

little bit to do with my little<br />

sister. I just loved being a big<br />

sister, she was so good. I would<br />

sit down and play “teachers” with<br />

her. She was lovely. Her friends<br />

had little sisters as well. As I got<br />

older we played real pretend<br />

schools and I had them reading<br />

and writing. There was absolutely<br />

no doubt in my mind, I 100 per<br />

cent knew I was going to be a<br />

teacher.<br />

How did you meet your<br />

husband?<br />

We have been together 20<br />

years. He was a bouncer at The<br />

Cook in Dunedin. I am born and<br />

bred Dunedin so he was down<br />

there as a bouncer before he went<br />

to police college. We have been<br />

married 10 or 11 years now. He is<br />

born and bred Lincoln, he went<br />

to Springston School where we<br />

have one of our venues at which<br />

is quite nice. We have got that<br />

connection with Busy Bumbles<br />

right back from when he was<br />

at school. My children are 11<br />

and nine, they are at Clearview<br />

100%<br />

CapItal GaIn<br />

to the ResIDent<br />

School.<br />

What do you like to do in<br />

spare time?<br />

Busy Bumbles only closes for<br />

two weeks in the entire year and I<br />

go camping. I love camping and I<br />

love drinking wine.<br />

What is your favourite place to<br />

go to and what is your favourite<br />

wine?<br />

Waikuku Beach is where we have<br />

gone for years. It has got a<br />

family feel and we know everyone<br />

there. I like pinot gris wine -<br />

anywhere from Central Otago is<br />

the best.<br />

What do you think of living in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />

One hundred and fifty per<br />

cent the best place in the world.<br />

I absolutely love it. I love the<br />

people, I love the culture. There<br />

are so many businesses opening<br />

up in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. So many successful<br />

businesses. When I was at the<br />

Westpac Champion Awards <strong>2018</strong><br />

there were five or six businesses<br />

represented there from <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

and that says a lot and I am<br />

forever meeting people who<br />

are really inspirational, really<br />

determined and just go getters.<br />

It is a really friendly, lovely, safe<br />

place.<br />

LINCOLN HIGH School may<br />

not have broken the world<br />

record for having the most<br />

people in a thumb-wrestling<br />

chain but it did succeed in<br />

bringing everyone together.<br />

Last week the school<br />

attempted to break the<br />

Guinness World Record of 957<br />

people thumb-wrestling in a<br />

chain for 5min.<br />

The record was set in Osaka,<br />

Japan, in 2012.<br />

Sports council co-head and<br />

student Fletcher Allan said<br />

the attempt went “really well”<br />

hand over some infrastructure<br />

towards the council – we’re<br />

working through that,” he said.<br />

Payne Court resident Janet<br />

James is frustrated with being<br />

unable to use the walkway and<br />

has to find alternative routes<br />

for her daily walks.<br />

Mrs James said there is<br />

a stone pathway which the<br />

public can use instead, but she<br />

wouldn’t walk it alone as<br />

she’s not “that steady on her<br />

feet.”<br />

“Sometimes I would just like<br />

to be able to do the walk, the<br />

whole circuit, without having<br />

to go over on the stones but I<br />

can’t.”<br />

in spite of the end result. “It<br />

wasn’t really about whether we<br />

got it or not. We were bringing<br />

everyone together, I think we<br />

actually got a Lincoln High<br />

School record for most people<br />

participating in an on-site<br />

event,” he said.<br />

Fletcher said about 1000<br />

people participated in the<br />

attempt from both Lincoln high<br />

and primary schools, as well<br />

as 20 parents helping with the<br />

time-keeping and officiating.<br />

He said the school would<br />

have beaten the record if it<br />

weren’t for “breaks” in the<br />

chain.<br />

Guided<br />

tour of<br />

Lakeside<br />

hall on<br />

Armistice<br />

Day<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A GUIDED tour of the Lakeside<br />

Soldiers Memorial Hall will be<br />

held as part of the Armistice Day<br />

commemorations.<br />

The tour of the newly<br />

completed hall will follow the<br />

district council’s Armistice Day<br />

service at Lakeside on November<br />

11.<br />

The district council has<br />

organised a commemoration<br />

ceremony with a marquee to be<br />

set up at the car park of the hall<br />

on Harts Rd.<br />

About 200 people, including<br />

representatives from the<br />

Ellesmere RSA and New Zealand<br />

Army, are expected to attend.<br />

Construction of the new hall,<br />

dedicated to commemorating<br />

Lakeside men who lost their lives<br />

in the Boer War, World War 1<br />

and World War 2, will officially<br />

be completed on November 9.<br />

An official opening is planned<br />

for February 1.<br />

Hall committee chairman<br />

Dennis Carter said the hall will<br />

be a huge asset for the greater<br />

district and will make an<br />

excellent wedding venue.<br />

“It is a very cool building, very<br />

smart building,” he said.<br />

The facility includes a multipurpose<br />

hall, a courtyard,<br />

kitchen and bar, storage and<br />

bathrooms.<br />

The original hall was damaged<br />

beyond repair in the September<br />

Horrack trades the<br />

roof for the ring to<br />

open for Parker<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

LINCOLN-BASED<br />

boxer Bjorn Horrack will<br />

trade the roof for a ring<br />

to be on the under-card<br />

for Joseph Parker’s bout<br />

against American-Mexican<br />

Alexander Flores at<br />

Horncastle Arena.<br />

The 29-year-old is a<br />

roofer by trade but has<br />

competed in boxing,<br />

kickboxing and mixed<br />

martial arts since he was<br />

21.<br />

On December 15, he will<br />

take on fellow Cantabrian<br />

Quintin Poole from<br />

the Round 12 Boxing<br />

and Fitness Centre in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Horrack will compete in<br />

a corporate bout consisting<br />

of three 2min rounds.<br />

“The talk is we’ll be<br />

opening the night, which<br />

is a bit of fun,” he said. “I’ll<br />

MMA bout on a week’s<br />

competitive combat.<br />

mixed martial arts and<br />

have combined that with<br />

said the upcoming bout<br />

would be the biggest of his<br />

life.<br />

“Obviously there will be<br />

a few more people having a<br />

look and tuning in to<br />

see how we go,” he<br />

said.<br />

Horrack, who<br />

weighs in at 100kg,<br />

said he expected to<br />

give up at least 30kg<br />

to Poole.<br />

He said he had<br />

a few options on<br />

how to combat his<br />

opponent’s size and<br />

one was to simply try to<br />

outlast him.<br />

“He’ll try to use his size<br />

to lean on me and make<br />

things difficult, but the<br />

longer it goes, it may work<br />

in my favour.”<br />

Coach Steve Brown said<br />

Horrack has a big heart<br />

and his mental approach<br />

to deal with boxing at a big<br />

advertorial<br />

“We are thrilled to finally be open,” says Boulevard village<br />

owner/operator Karen Harris. “it’s been a long journey, but<br />

we’re happy to be here.”<br />

Stage one of the village is complete with just one threebedroom<br />

villa still available for purchase out of the nine<br />

available. Karen says now is the perfect time to secure a<br />

two bedroom villa in the future stages & have a choice of<br />

position and a say in the décor.<br />

Karen says the village is now fully registered, so<br />

applications can be taken for future villas and that way you<br />

can be sure you will not miss out.<br />

Karen hopes that the local rolleston community will see<br />

the village as a community hub where people can come<br />

together and make use of the facilities available.<br />

“From day one, i want people to know we’re here in a<br />

caring capacity and not just as a retirement village.”<br />

Plans are now in the early stages for a full care facility,<br />

which includes a hospital, rest home, dementia unit and<br />

apartments.<br />

She also adds, “We are the only one in the area and one<br />

of few non-corporatised retirement villages in New Zealand.<br />

We’re not a cookie cutter facility, we offer a variety of villa<br />

designs, we’re more boutique but with a homely feel.”<br />

Boulevard village residents ann Butts and Kay lethaby are excited to be in their<br />

new villas and look forward to meeting new residents and neighbours as each<br />

stage is completed.<br />

new residents<br />

Boulevard villa owners ann Butts and Kay lethaby are<br />

excited about being the first residents in the village.<br />

Kay says that from the start she loved the open and<br />

sunny style of the villas. She also enjoyed being able to<br />

choose the décor including colours, drapes and carpet.<br />

Moving into her villa was an easy choice, as she wanted<br />

to stay in the area and continue being part of the wider<br />

community.<br />

“Karen was really good, helping to choose the drapes,<br />

and going out of her way to make sure we got what we<br />

wanted right down to the extra touches to make it feel like<br />

home.”<br />

ann says she wanted to stay in rolleston too and when<br />

the opportunity to purchase in Boulevard village came up,<br />

she says it was ideal.<br />

Both like the spacious layout of the village, with its wide<br />

streets, communal gardens, and the feeling of community<br />

that will come as each stage is completed.<br />

Kay and ann are also eagerly anticipating the new<br />

community centre, which will offer a beautician room, gym,<br />

swim spa, café, bar, theatre and barbecue area along with<br />

a small putting green and mini men’s shed and community<br />

vege gardens. in the mean time we have a temporary<br />

meeting area with a large lounge, bar and television and<br />

there will be an outdoor sitting area with raised planter<br />

box’s.<br />

“We’ll have a choice,” says Kay, “we can either stay at<br />

home or step out the door and meet someone our own<br />

age.”<br />

another bonus is the onsite care and maintenance.<br />

“We’ll be able to go away and not have to worry about the<br />

gardens,” says ann, “it’ll all be done for us!”<br />

the Boulevard is located at 200 dunns Crossing road<br />

and is surrounded by quality homes. the village is a fiveminute<br />

drive from rolleston’s shopping centre and handy to<br />

Faringdon’s South Point.<br />

Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>31</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population at<br />

62,200 and growing<br />

It’s official – <strong>Selwyn</strong> is confirmed as the third-largest territorial authority in the South Island.<br />

Provisional population estimates released last week by Stats NZ show the district’s population at<br />

30 June <strong>2018</strong> was estimated at 62,200 – an increase of 4.8 percent from the June 2017 figure of<br />

59,300.<br />

The latest figures show <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s growth has pulled clear of Waimakariri (60,700) and now sits<br />

behind only Christchurch and Dunedin among South Island councils.<br />

Stats NZ confirms that <strong>Selwyn</strong> has been the second fastest-growing district in New Zealand, with<br />

only Queenstown-Lakes district (5.5 percent) growing at a faster rate.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> mayor Sam Broughton says the latest data continues a long-term trend of sustained<br />

growth for the district.<br />

“It’s not a surprise that we keep seeing our population growing,” he says. “The district has a host<br />

of advantages that make our district attractive.<br />

“We can offer land at affordable prices, a family-friendly environment, excellent infrastructure,<br />

great road and rail links for business – and of course, some of the most stunning natural<br />

landscapes in the world, right on our back doorstep.<br />

“These factors are attracting families from around New Zealand and the world, along with<br />

businesses that are establishing or relocating in our<br />

townships and business zones.”<br />

South Island population –<br />

territorial authorities<br />

The population figures are backed up by the Council’s<br />

own residential growth data. In the year to June <strong>2018</strong> the<br />

Council issued 2,458 building consents, only slightly lower<br />

than the previous year, and new residential subdivisions are<br />

continuing to develop.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s economy is also on a strong growth curve. The<br />

district’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the year to June<br />

<strong>2018</strong> increased by 5.3% during the year – nearly double the<br />

New Zealand average of 2.7 percent, and well ahead of the<br />

Canterbury regional figure of 2.5%.<br />

“Growth has been good for us and <strong>Selwyn</strong> is in a fortunate<br />

position, but growth and change are not easy or cheap,”<br />

Mayor Broughton says. “As a council we continue to plan<br />

and focus on delivering quality infrastructure and services at<br />

affordable levels for our community.’<br />

There are a number of reasons why our waste management contractors may not have collected your<br />

bin. If your bin was not collected, a tag may have been attached to it explaining why.<br />

Some reasons why your bin may not have been collected are:<br />

· the lid was not shut flat or the bin was overflowing<br />

· the bin was contaminated (eg non-recyclable items in the recycling bin or plastic in the organics bin)<br />

or contained liquid or hazardous waste<br />

· the bins were not registered to your property<br />

· the bin was put out on the wrong week for recycling<br />

· the bin or bag was too heavy and over the weight restrictions.<br />

· the bin or bag was not put out on time<br />

· the bin was not correctly presented at the kerbside.<br />

If you think your bin was missed please contact us on 347 2800 or by filling out an online helpline form<br />

at selwyn.govt.nz/contact-us. Please provide the serial number on the side of your bin.<br />

We are experiencing huge growth in organics volumes right now and this is causing our collection<br />

trucks to take a little bit longer to complete all collections so if your bins are still full leave them out for a<br />

short while before contacting us as our team may still be on their way.<br />

For further information you can go to selwyn.govt.nz/bin-not-collected.<br />

Property revaluations in your<br />

letterbox soon<br />

If you own property in <strong>Selwyn</strong> you will receive an updated rateable<br />

value for your property in the post by mid-November.<br />

The new valuations, assessed by Quotable Value (QV) on behalf of<br />

the Council, will be used to help calculate the Council’s rates next<br />

year – they will not affect your rates until the year starting 1 July 2019.<br />

Here are some key things to note:<br />

· The new capital value reflects the likely selling price if the property<br />

had been sold on 1 July <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

· Revaluation doesn’t mean the Council collects any more money<br />

from rates, but it helps us work out everyone’s share of rates,<br />

which is partly based on capital value.<br />

· Even if the value of your property has increased, it doesn’t mean<br />

your rates will rise by the same amount.<br />

For most residential properties in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, only around a quarter of<br />

their rates bill is based on capital value, with the majority set based<br />

on a fixed amount per property, such as for library services.<br />

The average increase in capital value across <strong>Selwyn</strong> was 6.7%<br />

(an average of all capital value changes for residential, rural and<br />

business land). This means property owners whose capital value<br />

increased more than the average for <strong>Selwyn</strong> can expect a slightly<br />

higher than average rate increase from 1 July 2019. Property<br />

owners whose capital value increase was less than the average can<br />

expect a slightly lower than average rates change next year.<br />

Property owners also have the opportunity to object to the valuation<br />

if they choose to – these must be lodged by 20 December <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

More information will be included with your revaluation notice, or<br />

visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/revaluation.<br />

War memorial lighting<br />

As part of WW1 Centenary and Armistice commemorations, the<br />

Council has installed feature lighting at war memorial sites in<br />

townships across <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

The lights, which were installed at nine memorial sites at a cost of<br />

$137,000, provide for white or coloured lighting of the memorials,<br />

depending on the wishes of the community.<br />

Council Property and Commercial Manager Douglas Marshall says<br />

as well as highlighting the memorials, the lights also allow the sites to<br />

support other important community events and commemorations.<br />

“The installation of the lights is a fitting way to mark the centenary of<br />

the armistice and remember the sacrifice of the citizen-soldiers and<br />

nurses who went to war to defend the nation’s interests,” he says.<br />

To date lighting has been installed at:<br />

· Tai Tapu (Rhodes Park Domain Gates of Remembrance)<br />

· Leeston Cenotaph<br />

· Springston War Memorial<br />

· Hororata War Memorial<br />

· Rolleston Memorial Clock Tower<br />

· Darfield War Memorial<br />

· Dunsandel War Memorial<br />

· Prebbleton War memorial<br />

· Sheffield War Memorial.<br />

Lighting will be installed at other war memorials in the district in<br />

the future.<br />

Southbrook maintain top spot in country cricket<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

SOUTHBROOK’S bowlers<br />

ensured they would remain<br />

at the top of the Canterbury<br />

Country premier one-day<br />

competition after a comfortable<br />

five-wicket win over Weedons<br />

on Saturday.<br />

Southbrook made the most<br />

of a bowler-friendly pitch at<br />

Weedons Domain to skittle the<br />

hosts for just 70.<br />

Olly Heweston-Brown was the<br />

main destroyer taking 4/12.<br />

Southbrook had their issues<br />

chasing down the target and<br />

were in trouble at 34/5 before<br />

Alex Simpson steadied the run<br />

chase with 19 not out.<br />

In other matches, Darfield<br />

did well to scramble to 154 after<br />

being asked to bat by Kaiapoi at<br />

Darfield Domain.<br />

Nick Johnston’s 50, and 37<br />

from Sean Carston, provided the<br />

backbone of the innings.<br />

Tim Oram, Justin Gourlie<br />

SPORTS<br />

and Wayne Bell each took three<br />

wickets for Kaiapoi.<br />

Bell was the hero with the<br />

bat, scoring 40 and combining<br />

with Caleb Greaves (30) to see<br />

Kaiapoi home with three wickets<br />

in hand for their first win of the<br />

season.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge had little<br />

trouble chasing down Oxford<br />

Rangiora’s total of 93.<br />

Wicketkeeper Joel Harden’s<br />

30 and 24 from former Dutch<br />

international Tim Gruijters saw<br />

the hosts home with four wickets<br />

and 25 overs to spare.<br />

Cheviot opener Ted Whelan’s<br />

79 proved match-defining<br />

against Sefton. He was the main<br />

contributor in Cheviot’s 139 all<br />

out. Sefton looked to be in control<br />

of the game at 45/2 but<br />

then faltered to be all out for<br />

103.<br />

On Saturday, Kaiapoi will host<br />

Weedons, Oxford will welcome<br />

Darfield, Leeston-Southbridge<br />

will travel to play Sefton and<br />

Southbrook will await Cheviot.<br />

gymnast takes<br />

first national title<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

WEST MELTON’S Sarah<br />

Quinn has become a national<br />

champion for the first time in<br />

rhythmic gymnastics after a<br />

stellar competition<br />

at Tauranga.<br />

The 16-year-old,<br />

who goes to Villa<br />

Maria College and<br />

trains at Bishopdale’s<br />

Delta Rhythmic<br />

Gymnastics Club,<br />

was named the<br />

overall national<br />

champion at level<br />

nine.<br />

Sarah won the<br />

ribbon and ball<br />

competitions, and<br />

was third in the<br />

clubs, with her<br />

consistency across<br />

all disciplines<br />

earning her the<br />

has not looked back.<br />

She trained for more than<br />

15 hours a week in the lead-up<br />

to the competition and was<br />

delighted with the overall result.<br />

She said she<br />

always enjoyed<br />

competing with the<br />

clubs.<br />

“I always enjoyed<br />

learning new<br />

routines with<br />

them and it was<br />

something I learnt<br />

quickly,” she<br />

said.<br />

Sarah said she<br />

always looks<br />

forward to training<br />

but it was the<br />

friends she has<br />

made that had kept<br />

her competing and<br />

active in the sport.<br />

She said she was<br />

keen to try for a<br />

level 10 title next<br />

add another golden moment to<br />

Lincoln Combined hunt<br />

for new first XV coach<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

THE LINCOLN Combined first<br />

XV rugby team will be looking<br />

for a new coach for their UC<br />

Championship campaign next<br />

year.<br />

Mike Wilson, who has been in<br />

charge for the past two seasons<br />

and took the team to their best<br />

ever finish this year, said family<br />

commitments won out.<br />

“I’ve got a young daughter at<br />

home and coaching a team in<br />

the UC Championship needs a<br />

total commitment and I guess<br />

spending time with my young<br />

family was the main motivation<br />

behind the decision,” he said.<br />

“It was always my intention to<br />

re-assess things after two years.”<br />

Lincoln Combined were top<br />

four contenders for much of<br />

this season before fading late to<br />

finish seventh with an eight-win,<br />

seven loss record.<br />

Wilson said he believed it<br />

was the right decision to make<br />

with six months to go until the<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />

Passionate about<br />

Cameron has had a lifetime interest<br />

and involvement in motorcycles,<br />

purchasing his first bike at the age of<br />

10, with money earned from picking<br />

blueberries. He admits the bike was a<br />

‘bit of a dunger’.<br />

At 13, Cameron enthusiastically<br />

competed in motocross racing with him<br />

winning numerous trophies. The effects<br />

of a serious accident while practising<br />

at home, which left him with a broken<br />

neck, lower vertebrae and ribs, and a<br />

punctured lung, caused Cameron to<br />

Motocross<br />

Supporting this year’s Jones Road Auto <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor Fest will be local<br />

businessman Cameron Holland, from Holland Collision Centre.<br />

give up racing for some years.<br />

With the introduction of less<br />

challenging tracks without the<br />

extremely high jumps, has seen a rise<br />

in the popularity of motocross and<br />

Cameron returning to the sport once<br />

more. As a veteran racer (over 35 years),<br />

he won the Syd Harrison Memorial<br />

Trophy on his 1979 Suzuki RM400.<br />

More recently he has been racing two<br />

Yamahas, an YZF250 and 450.<br />

Over the years, Cameron has built<br />

up a collection of classic motorcycles.<br />

These include a 1990 Kawasaki KX500,<br />

1987 Kawasaki KX250, 1983 Maico<br />

490, 2000 Honda CR500, 1985 Honda<br />

CR250, 1974 Yamaha MX125 and 250,<br />

and other newer bikes.<br />

Holland Collision Centre has also<br />

sponsored other riders and teams,<br />

including the Yamaha JCR race team,<br />

owned by Josh Coppins. Josh was a<br />

professional international racer for 17<br />

years, winning championship races in<br />

various countries along with 13 world<br />

championship races, and was twice<br />

PETS & PAWS<br />

Remember the fifth of November<br />

Keep your pets inside and safe on Guy Fawkes night!<br />

With Guy Fawkes Day fast approaching,<br />

it’s time to think about your pets. If your<br />

pet was particularly frightened last year or<br />

has a loud noise phobia, now is the time to<br />

put a plan in place that will keep both you<br />

and your pet happy and stress-free.<br />

Animals and<br />

fireworks don’t mix<br />

Each year SPCAs throughout New<br />

Zealand receive hundreds of calls relating<br />

to fireworks during the festive season<br />

from <strong>October</strong> to January. Animals are<br />

either injured, frightened, go missing or<br />

sometimes abused at this time of year.<br />

While New Zealand has a strict window of<br />

three days from November 2 to November<br />

5 for purchasing fireworks, it has no set<br />

day for fireworks to be used. People can set<br />

fireworks off before, during and after Guy<br />

Fawkes Day.<br />

For some pets this can be absolute<br />

torture, sending them into states of fear and<br />

anxiety every time they hear a loud noise.<br />

Sending your pets off to a quiet cattery or<br />

kennel facility in the country may also be<br />

another option around this stressful time.<br />

SPCAs top tips for animals<br />

and fireworks<br />

• Never let fireworks off close to animals.<br />

• Stay home with your pet<br />

• Keep pets indoors, so they won’t see the<br />

flashes and the bangs will be muffled. Turn<br />

up the volume on your radio or TV to help<br />

drown out loud bangs with familiar sounds.<br />

• Make sure that your cat or dog has<br />

somewhere comforting to hide such as an<br />

igloo, box, crate or somewhere they feel<br />

safe to retreat to.<br />

• Try a compression wrap for dogs, like a<br />

thunder shirt.<br />

• Exercise your dog early in the day<br />

to avoid being out during dusk when<br />

fireworks could be set off.<br />

• Make sure your cats and dogs are<br />

microchipped and have a collar and<br />

identification tag with your contact details<br />

on it, should your pet panic and run away.<br />

• Comfort your pet. Try to behave calmly<br />

and reassuringly. Take special care of<br />

elderly or nervous pets.<br />

• Never punish your pets when they are<br />

scared. This will only make their fear and<br />

stress levels worse.<br />

• Don’t forget small pets like rabbits,<br />

guinea pigs or chickens. Have them tucked<br />

away or even inside for the night.<br />

All hands on deck for summer planting<br />

With summer just around<br />

the corner, it’s all hands on<br />

deck to ensure a steady<br />

harvest throughout the<br />

summer months. Get those<br />

heat-loving crops in the<br />

ground ahead of the warm,<br />

long days to come<br />

BEFORE ANY of the following<br />

crops can be planted, the soil<br />

needs to be well nourished and<br />

dug over. If the ground is dry,<br />

it will need a good watering<br />

before any crops go in. Blend<br />

in soil conditioners, such as<br />

sheep pellets and well-matured<br />

compost, or a bit of both, then<br />

add a dusting of vegetable<br />

fertiliser and you are good to<br />

grow.<br />

Tomatoes<br />

By now, if you have been<br />

growing your own plants from<br />

seed, the plants should be at a<br />

size where they are ready for<br />

transplanting into the garden.<br />

Aim for seedings to be at least<br />

10cm tall, however they can<br />

three or four times that size too.<br />

Position them in a sunny spot<br />

away from any blustery winds,<br />

and plant them deeply in the<br />

soil. And don’t forget to stake<br />

the plants – this is important<br />

if you want a bumper crop, as<br />

the stems can easily break with<br />

the weight of the fruit and can<br />

be damaged by wind. If room<br />

is tight, and space is limited,<br />

grafted tomatoes produce a<br />

larger and more reliable crop on<br />

one plant.<br />

‘Big Boss’ is a new variety this<br />

year. It is a beefsteak variety,<br />

only grows to 1m tall and<br />

produces loads of large fruit<br />

that are about 0.5kg each. With<br />

superb flavour and reliable<br />

cropping ability, look out for<br />

it and ask for it by name at<br />

Oderings.<br />

Eggplant<br />

Plants will be in all the garden<br />

centres now, so if you missed<br />

sowing seeds, don’t panic. Plant<br />

one to two plants per person in<br />

the household. Eggplants need a<br />

long, hot summer to thrive, so if<br />

you live in a spot that hasn’t fully<br />

warmed up yet, you can hold off<br />

planting them out for another<br />

month. They are an ideal crop<br />

for large tubs and bins, just<br />

ensure they have good drainage<br />

as they hate wet feet. Be aware<br />

that they are not a fast-growing<br />

crop, and they do take a few<br />

weeks to settle in before they<br />

start actively growing.<br />

Both grafted and seedling<br />

hybrids are available in the<br />

shops. Seed catalogues have a<br />

huge selection of varieties and<br />

it isn’t too late to sow seed – if<br />

the plants are in the ground by<br />

Christmas you will be fine.<br />

‘Golden egg’ is a neat golfball-sized<br />

yellow variety and one<br />

of the best larger ones is ‘black<br />

moon’.<br />

Cucumber<br />

Now the ground temperatures<br />

are warm, and the coldest nights<br />

are all but over, cucumbers can<br />

be planted out. You still have<br />

time to sow seeds, too – these<br />

germinate in about one week,<br />

and are ready to plant out within<br />

a month. For the best results,<br />

telegraph cucumbers do best in<br />

a glasshouse or in a sheltered<br />

spot in the garden. As they<br />

begin to grow, the long tendrillike<br />

branches scramble. Where<br />

possible, tie these branches up to<br />

keep the developing fruit off the<br />

ground as this will ensure even<br />

ripening. However, if the fruit<br />

get too heavy on the vine and<br />

move about in the wind they can<br />

snap off, so, in areas where wind<br />

protection is not guaranteed, it<br />

is best to leave cucumber to trail<br />

along the ground – a few pale<br />

patches on the bottom side of a<br />

cucumber is better than nothing.<br />

A reliable smooth-skinned<br />

telegraph variety is ‘english<br />

greengrocer’ (see kings seeds).<br />

Apple cucumbers are neat, with<br />

their pale creamy white flesh<br />

and skin, and for those who<br />

enjoy the smaller, more intensely<br />

flavoured cucumbers look for<br />

the Lebanese types. These are<br />

ideal for growing along the<br />

ground.<br />

Kūmara<br />

For gardeners who live in cold<br />

regions, apologies, but kūmara<br />

won’t easily grow for you – they<br />

require a long, hot season.<br />

Bundles of cuttings are in<br />

the shops now and should be<br />

planted in well-prepared and<br />

dug-over soil, on mounds,<br />

roughly 30–50cm apart. The<br />

plants take a few weeks to settle<br />

in and, by Christmas,<br />

the plants will be actively<br />

growing, almost like triffids,<br />

if the conditions are ideal. Water<br />

as required when the soil dries<br />

out. Harvest should be done<br />

before the frosts arrive as the<br />

crop needs to cure in the sun<br />

before they can be stored. This<br />

process toughens the skin,<br />

which enables kūmara to be<br />

stored in a dry, cool place for up<br />

to six months.<br />

NEW LISTING<br />

PRICES VALLEY<br />

2890 Christchurch Akaroa Road<br />

Raise your family with the lifestyle you always dreamed<br />

of: wide open paddocks, friendly chooks, pony rides,<br />

character building farm chores and making huts. Enjoy<br />

the warmer months outdoors in the beautiful gardens,<br />

firing up the BBQ; stay snug in the winter with the wood<br />

burner on wetback and large conservatory trapping the<br />

daytime warmth. A perfectly placed spa pool on the<br />

deck lets you marvel at the night sky all year round.<br />

The solid construction of the 2+ bedroom cottage is<br />

reinforced by new roofing, wiring and piling from its<br />

relocation in the 1990's. More recent improvements<br />

include an updated bathroom with wet room shower.<br />

Whilst the cottage has been lovingly maintained, just<br />

think of what could be created when you take<br />

advantage of the lead lighting, built-in cabinets and<br />

gorgeous wood panelling!<br />

Is this your dream realised? Not many lifestyle properties<br />

are set up to be so diverse in their offering and remain<br />

an affordable option.<br />

Presenting your home for sale?<br />

The presentation of your home<br />

doesn’t mean spending thousands<br />

on an upgrade either! So why<br />

wouldn’t you want to do everything<br />

possible to make it appealing to<br />

prospective purchasers?<br />

Street appeal<br />

The exterior of your home is the first<br />

thing buyers will see, so the property<br />

needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take<br />

a look at your place from the street and<br />

see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the<br />

lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add<br />

some garden lights and place a nice pot or<br />

plant by the front door. Ensure the house<br />

exterior is cleaned or freshened with new<br />

paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths<br />

and fences, put stylish new numbers on<br />

the house and perhaps buy a funky new<br />

letter box!<br />

Make an entrance<br />

Even if your entrance or hallway is<br />

small, you can still give it some wow! A<br />

large mirror adds light and makes an<br />

entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers,<br />

candles or a stylish piece of art create an<br />

inviting first impression. Ensure floors are<br />

clean whether timber, tiles or carpet.<br />

Create space<br />

Light, air and space are three key<br />

factors in presenting a home to the<br />

best advantage. Open up curtains<br />

and windows and use lamps and light<br />

fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange<br />

furniture to maximise space and remove<br />

items that make the room appear<br />

cramped.<br />

Fresh feel<br />

Freshen rooms with new paint if<br />

necessary, but aim for neutral tones which<br />

are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash<br />

of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or<br />

a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or<br />

bedspread and always make the bed!<br />

Clear out clutter<br />

Storage space sells but clutter<br />

complicates! Clean out your cupboards,<br />

shelves and garage, and get rid of<br />

unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect<br />

wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up<br />

and reduce the number of photos, books,<br />

nicknacks on display – they distract<br />

buyers, too!<br />

Beautify the bathroom<br />

Replace or resurface fittings if necessary,<br />

but otherwise you can simply beautify<br />

your bathroom with thorough and<br />

fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels,<br />

a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush,<br />

green plants. Invest in a new shower<br />

curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a<br />

sleek, modern towel rail.<br />

Clean clean clean<br />

Cleaning is a mandatory part of<br />

selling your home: have carpets, rugs<br />

and upholstery commercially cleaned<br />

and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to<br />

look like new, polish glass and furniture,<br />

wash down all surfaces and fittings in<br />

the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light<br />

fittings, wash windows inside and out,<br />

deodorise your home to eliminate any<br />

odours from pets, cooking or smoke.<br />

Outdoor spaces<br />

Even a small patio, deck or terrace<br />

can be enhanced with a café table and<br />

chairs. Add some colourful accessories –<br />

placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants,<br />

and there you have an extra living area.<br />

If space is not limited, hang a hammock,<br />

string some outdoor lights, position a<br />

garden sculpture or create a water feature<br />

that buyers will love.<br />

Hire a handyman<br />

Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked<br />

tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or<br />

appliances that don’t work are a turn-off<br />

for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace<br />

things yourself, then hire a handyman to<br />

make sure everything in your home works<br />

as it should.<br />

Finish it first<br />

Buyers want to see a finished home,<br />

not one that’s still being fixed! So finish<br />

everything before you list your home<br />

for sale, then launch it onto the market<br />

when it looks its absolute best – you have<br />

nothing to lose and everything to gain!<br />

space has seen more<br />

Looking for a property – what really counts?<br />

You are in the market for a new<br />

property, scrolling the Internet,<br />

examining properties for sale and<br />

zeroing in on those with potential. They<br />

might be in locations that offer cheaper<br />

land, larger houses, or convenience to<br />

work or school.<br />

You may have visited show homes<br />

and open homes becoming confused,<br />

overwhelmed or swept away with<br />

emotional factors like having<br />

everything new, or extra features such<br />

as three car garaging.<br />

To be happy with your choice, list the<br />

features that you need, considering:<br />

• Family space – Is there room for<br />

the children to play indoors and for<br />

television and entertainment units?<br />

Should this be open plan or separated?<br />

• Kitchen – What needs to be in<br />

your kitchen? How serious are you<br />

about a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim<br />

or something that offers a practical<br />

solution to the way you use your<br />

kitchen?<br />

• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum<br />

sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate<br />

to slightly lower building costs while<br />

extra space can be useful. When<br />

looking at existing homes, consider<br />

whether the size of each bedroom is<br />

sufficient.<br />

• Garaging – A standard double<br />

garage once two cars are parked there<br />

offers little space for the toys. What<br />

toys do you have and could they live<br />

with the lawnmower in a garden shed,<br />

a cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />

If the budget allows and a larger garage<br />

with workshop is important, make it a<br />

selection priority.<br />

• Size of land – Lifestyle properties<br />

offer space for children, pets, hobbies,<br />

jll.co.nz<br />

an expansive garden and perhaps a<br />

home-run business but they require<br />

work so are not for everyone and a<br />

compact section might be more sensible<br />

if a tight budget or busy lifestyle.<br />

• Bathrooms – Second and third<br />

bathrooms are great in homes with<br />

teenagers and a wet shower room is<br />

ideal for young children. A bath might<br />

be fashionable though is often not used<br />

and its absence could mean a more<br />

spacious bathroom.<br />

• Laundry – Would a laundry in the<br />

garage do the job?<br />

• Storage – How much storage do<br />

you need? Weigh up what can truly be<br />

stored in the garage once vehicles are<br />

in, a preference in winter. Garages vary<br />

in size so check the size to ensure your<br />

vehicles will fit. Look also at where<br />

else the house offers storage capacity<br />

such as in hall cupboards, a large hot<br />

water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes<br />

(check their width and depth), walkin<br />

robe, attic storage trusses, as well as<br />

the potential for hooks and shelving<br />

in the garage for bikes, tools, garden<br />

equipment and even kayaks.<br />

• Off-street parking – How many<br />

vehicles can be parked on the driveway?<br />

Will this space be sufficient?<br />

• Garden - Is there sufficient space<br />

for your children to play or for<br />

entertaining?<br />

A checklist will allow you to determine<br />

what will suit your needs, the point of<br />

the exercise, saving you time looking at<br />

properties or potential house designs<br />

while assisting you to decide whether<br />

to buy a new or existing home with<br />

both options having advantages and<br />

disadvantages.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Taking a<br />

smart approach<br />

to building<br />

Being organised, aids a<br />

smooth build whether<br />

engaging a building<br />

company or overseeing<br />

the project yourself.<br />

Start by finding a building site. Its<br />

orientation to sun and prevailing winds<br />

should determine your house design so<br />

the sun’s free energy is capitalised on<br />

and you have sunny sheltered spots for<br />

outdoor living.<br />

Choosing your design and building<br />

company may go hand in hand, where<br />

the latter’s consultant works with you to<br />

determine the best plan for your section,<br />

lifestyle and family needs.<br />

Alternatively, you might employ an<br />

architect or architectural draughtsman.<br />

While it may cost a little more for house<br />

plans drawn up for building consent<br />

and maybe lodged by your professional,<br />

it allows you freedom to work with a<br />

smaller builder or oversee your own<br />

project. Ensure all tradespeople are<br />

licensed building practitioners (a<br />

building consent requirement).<br />

Before building starts, determine all<br />

building materials and fixtures (some<br />

will be required to be stated for building<br />

consent). Many housing companies take<br />

their clients through these decisions<br />

before commencing building. Changes<br />

made once building is underway<br />

are likely to incur extra charges and<br />

even budget overruns, especially if<br />

tradespeople return to the job.<br />

If working with a smaller builder,<br />

you may have more time to choose the<br />

kitchen design, kitchen appliances and<br />

paint colours. Working through these<br />

decisions early on however ensures time<br />

to weigh-up options rather than a rushed<br />

choice.<br />

Try making a list of the fixtures and<br />

fittings to be decided on, such as the<br />

type and colour of the exterior cladding,<br />

roof, aluminium joinery, front door<br />

and garage door. List the bathroom<br />

and toilet products required then visit<br />

plumbing suppliers to get ideas for<br />

vanities, bath, showers, taps, bath spout<br />

and the like. If having a walk-in shower,<br />

consider whether you want a glass door<br />

and the number of shower heads. Write<br />

down the brands and product numbers<br />

you like and obtain prices to allow<br />

differentiation between the options.<br />

Meeting your plumber on site is also a<br />

good idea so placement of taps and the<br />

like can be discussed.<br />

Most electricians do a walk-through<br />

with clients to determine where power<br />

points, lights and electronic fittings will<br />

be positioned. Think about how each<br />

room will be used and furniture might<br />

be placed, remembering it is more<br />

affordable to include these while the<br />

house is under construction than retrofit<br />

later. Mark your ideas on a copy of the<br />

plan ahead of time.<br />

Collect paint charts and purchase test<br />

pots of colours you like then paint large<br />

pieces of cardboard to get an idea of<br />

their effect. Visit showhomes too, asking<br />

about their colour schemes.<br />

Planning ahead will help take stress<br />

out of the building process.<br />

Building blocks<br />

to a new home<br />

As Cantabrians continue to move forward, when building<br />

a new home, here’s a reminder to pay attention to some of<br />

the fine details...<br />

Anyone intending to build a new home<br />

should have the builder’s contract<br />

checked out by an experienced lawyer.<br />

A payment schedule can also<br />

minimise financial risks. Issues that<br />

you may have to deal with include:<br />

the deposit, guarantees and warranties<br />

If you want to compare building<br />

companies, it’s important to get down<br />

to finer details such as how many<br />

power points there are per room, the<br />

type of windows you are having or<br />

which paint finishes are included.<br />

Questions to ask<br />

builders include:<br />

• Do you have a completion guarantee<br />

and how does it work?<br />

• Is there a loss of deposit<br />

guarantee?<br />

• Is the company a<br />

Registered Master Builder<br />

and does it use thirdparty<br />

written guarantees?<br />

• What is the schedule for<br />

payments?<br />

• How are the deposit and<br />

progress payments<br />

administered?<br />

• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust<br />

fund?<br />

• Will the master franchisor complete<br />

the build if the franchisee goes out<br />

of business<br />

• What are the exact specs?<br />

• Are the prices fixed?<br />

• What is excluded from the build?<br />

• Are there any restrictions on<br />

driveways or any other connections?<br />

• Can you speak with clients who<br />

have just completed a build?<br />

Do your homework before you decide<br />

on a building company and you will<br />

have a less stressful time once the<br />

building process starts.<br />
