THIS IS what Rolleston’s new
$22.2 million library and
community centre, Te Ara Ātea,
will look like from Tennyson St.
THe district council has been
gifted the name for the facility
by Te Taumutu Rūnanga.
THe name means “the
unobstructed trail to the world
and beyond” and reflects the
role of the new facility as a
place for learning, gathering,
connecting, exploring and
celebrating the district’s heritage
and people.

Rolleston town centre, centred
on what is currently part
of Rolleston Reserve.
Construction of Te Ara
Ātea is expected to start
in halfway through next
year.
Te Taumutu Rūnanga
chairwoman Julie
Robilliard said the
rūnanga is delighted to
be supporting the Selwyn
community with the new name.
“It is with great pleasure that
Te Taumutu Rūnanga gifts
the name of Te Ara Ātea to
the new Rolleston library and
community centre,” she said.
“Meaning the
unobstructed trail
to the world and
beyond, Te Ara
Ātea is particularly
appropriate because the
Rolleston area was part
of a network of ancient
trails.”
Mayor Sam
Broughton said the district
council has been working
closely with Te Taumutu as a key
partner during the development
and design stages of the new

“Our partnership with Te

of this project from the outset,
as we have worked to ensure
the new centre represents the
breadth and depth of Selwyn’s
heritage and community,” he
said.
“We’re privileged that the

Te Ara Ātea – which is so
appropriate for a community
facility where we will celebrate
our history but also look

on who
will pay
to finish
Masefield
Drive
• By Emily O’Connell
THE DISTRICT council won’t
say if ratepayers are picking
up the tab for roadworks in
Masefield Drive, Rolleston.
The footpath and cycleway
outside The Warehouse in
Rolleston ends as the road
narrows around a bend.
The district council and the
developers of Rolleston Square,
where The Warehouse is sited,
have been at odds over which one
should pay to fix the problem.
District council asset
engineer transportation Mark
Chamberlain said work was done
last week to patch potholes and
widen an area at the entrance to
the shopping centre.
“It is to hold the seal until the
kerb and channel, seal widening
and other needed work is done
after Christmas,” he said.
Mr Chamberlain said there will
also be an edge line painted to
give better delineation for drivers.
Selwyn Times has repeatedly
asked the district council whether
ratepayers or developers are
paying to fix the patch of road.

get in touch
from the editor’s desk
AS FAR as questions go, it’s a fairly simple
one. But for some reason the district
council won’t give us an answer.
I’m referring to our ongoing coverage
of the patch-up job needed on Masefield
Drive after the footpath and cycleway stopped abruptly during
the development outside Rolleston Square.
The district council and developers have been at odds over
who should pay to have the work completed.
We’ve repeatedly asked the district council who is paying.
They keep telling us they’ve got nothing more to add than what
they said a coupe of weeks ago, which really didn’t tell us much.
My money is the ratepayers will be paying for it. Hopefully,
the council will let us know – and then we will let you know.

Wealthy backer
wanted to join quarry battle
• By Anan Zaki
A RESIDENT involved in
the fight against the planned
quarry near Weedons hopes a
wealthy backer will support the
campaign against it.
Weedons Residents’
Association committee member
Simon Moore says people living
near the site don’t have the
money to fight the proposed
Fulton Hogan quarry.
Mr Moore expects the fight
against the quarry to cost at least
$100,000.
A resource consent lodged
with Environment Canterbury
shows Fulton Hogan wants to
operate a quarry 6am-6pm,
Monday-Saturday.
Fulton Hogan has also
proposed running night
operations 150 days of the year.
Full quarry activities would
operate from 6pm-10pm and
truck movements would be
carried out from 10pm-6am.
“What you need is what the
Yaldhurst people got, a nice
person to donate some money,
like Kypros Kotzikas. It would
be nice if someone was willing to
do that,” Mr Moore said.
FUND: Weedons Residents’ Association committee member Simon Moore hopes a wealthy
supporter could help fill funding shortfalls in the fight against the Fulton Hogan quarry.
Mr Kotzikas, who backed
opponents of the Road Metals
quarry in Yaldhurst, is the
owner of United Fisheries.
But regardless of the money,
the residents will not stop their
campaign against the quarry, he
said.
The quarry will be on a 170ha
site at Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones
and Maddisons Rds.
“This is the problem with
David and Goliath – you’re
fighting somebody who is
making record profits,” Mr
Moore said.
“What most of us intend to
do is donate to the Templeton
Residents’ Association
[individually],” he said.
Fulton Hogan says the total
life of the quarry is expected to
be about 30 to 40 years and rock
will be taken from a depth of

10m below ground.
The quarry activities are
anticipated to start in 2020,
should Fulton Hogan receive the
necessary resource consents.
Environment Canterbury and
the Selwyn District Council have
until tomorrow to check the
resource consent application for
completeness. A further update
on the application is expected
after tomorow.

$195m mammoth motorway
It’s set to make
commuting safer and
easier by halving travel
time and reducing fatal
and serious crashes by
40 per cent. Julia Evans
checks in to see how
work is progressing on
the Southern Motorway
upgrade
MORE THAN 500,000 cu m
of earth and $195 million is
being poured into upgrading the
Southern Motorway.
The new 7.5km motorway will
extend from Halswell Junction
Rd to near Robinsons Rd on State
Highway 1 so commuters can
bypass Hornby and Templeton.
From Robinsons Rd to Rolleston,
Main South Rd will double to
four-lanes for 5km.
The project should halve time
between Christchurch and
Rolleston from 30min to 15min.
It is also expected to reduce
fatal and serious crashes by 40
per cent by upgrading the third
and seventh most dangerous
intersections in Canterbury –
Weedon Ross Rd and SH1, as well
as Shands and Marshs Rds.
Those are just the two key
features of the mammoth project
that has more than 20 components
and is on track for its
February 2020 opening.
New Zealand Transport
Agency principal project
manager Geoff Griffiths said
the most recent milestone was
northbound traffic on Main
South Rd switched onto the new
SH1 lanes last month.
Southbound traffic also made
the move last month.
“The traffic switch on SH1
will see some local road closures
in place from this week.
Larcombs Rd at Main South Rd
will be closed for around four
weeks and Berketts Rd will be
closed at Main South Rd until

the new southbound lanes on
SH1 are opened in 2019,” he
said.
“That will be the next biggest,
most visible stage of work when
we move all the two-way traffic.”
After that, work will start
on moving 10 58-tonne bridge
beams will be craned into place
at the Weedons Rd interchange.
They will complete the bridge,
which already has 10 beams in
place.
“At the other end of things,
we’ll be starting on Springs Rd,”
Mr Griffiths said.
That work will take the project
into its final year.
“A new roundabout is being
constructed at the intersection of
Weedons Ross/Jones Rd, which
is due to be completed in the first
half of 2019.”
This year, work largely concentrated
on the Shands Rd
interchange. But there was also
considerable work at the Halswell
Junction Rd end of the project
with 16 piers installed for the
interchange.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Mr Griffiths said the biggest
challenge of the project has so far
been the “unknown.”
“Weather has been wetter than
average for the last couple of
years,” he said.
“And just dealing with the
unknown. We’ve found a few
old dumps that have been
contaminated with asbestos.”
But in spite of the weather
and unearthing of old dumps
that no one knew about, he said
everything was on track for the
early 2020 deadline.
“We’ve got this summer and
half of next summer, which is
a good thing. Not only is it the
rain we have to worry about, the
weather does need to be warm
and dry for the type of work we’re
doing.”
Plus Mr Griffiths said there
should be no more former
rubbish dumps to discover.
While the project will reduce
time and crashes, it will support
the south-west’s economic
growth with more than 35,000
people expected to move there in
the next 30 years.
As well as improving access
between Lyttelton Port, the city
centre and the industrial south.
During the project, more
than 570 southern grass skinks

are also being recovered and
rehomed.
Its opening will coincide with
the completion of the Northern
Corridor.
“This job and the
Northern Corridor are the last
two big jobs in Christchurch that
we’re working on,” Mr Griffiths
said.
The project was mooted in
2002. It was part of a study that
looked at the long-term transport
needs for the south-west of the
city.
But it wasn’t until 2010 when
the concept was open for public
consultation. After design
and detailed design stages,
construction began in November
2016.
It is part of the Government’s
roads of national significance
programme.
PROJECT WORK
•Main South Rd will be four lanes north of Rolleston to

No word on
who will pay for
Masefield Drive
•From page 1
Two weeks ago, district
council chief executive David
Ward said discussions are
continuing between the council
and other parties involved about
who is responsible and which will
pay.
When asked last week who was
paying for the just-completed
repairs, the district council
wouldn’t say.
Rolleston Square director Lloyd
Bathurst did not want to comment
on the issue.
Mr Ward has told Selwyn Times
it considers the developers have
responsibilities to resolve the
current situation to avoid costs
having to be met by ratepayers.
Rolleston Residents’ Association
chairwoman Leonie MacLachlan
said her personal view was that the
“progress was minimal.”
“Keeping up with the filling of
potholes hasn’t been done in a
timely manner,” she said.
Mrs MacLachlan said the area
is “such an eyesore” and for road
users and residents’ safety, “it
needs to be addressed as soon as
possible.”
Mr Ward said the work on
Masefield Drive is planned to be
completed by the end of February.

Cancer battler ‘determined to live’
• By Emily O’Connell
A ROLLESTON mother is
hopeful alternative treatments
could help save her life.
Nina Rodger, 36, was
diagnosed with breast cancer
almost three years ago and has
since received chemotherapy,
radiation, undergone a
mastectomy and numerous
operations.
In spite of this, the Stage 4
cancer continues to spread in
her body and so she’s turned
to alternative methods to help
– including a change of diet,
natural treatments, supplements
and oils.
Last week Mrs Rodger aslo
started Intravenous vitamin C
treatments, which aims to boost
the immune system.
The mother-of-two’s journey
with cancer started about three
years ago when she noticed some
differences in her left breast.
Having had cysts on her breast
10 years earlier, Mrs Rodger
didn’t think much of it.
But after speaking to her husband
Bruce, she decided to get it
checked out by her doctor.
When she was told it was
cancer, Mrs Rodger went home
to her husband who was looking
after their two children and recalls
saying: “I’m going to live.”
Determined to do just that,
Mrs Rodger has dramatically
changed her diet, initially
cutting out meat and sugar and
now she’s “juicing constantly”
and eating “mostly” raw food.
“I’m just determined. I don’t
care what they [doctors] say,
people make it through even at
stage 4. I’m doing everything
I can with supplements and
alternative therapies and diet,”
she said.
Mrs Rodger says both her
“strong faith” and “amazing”
husband have helped her
through the difficult times over
the past few years.
The different treatments she
is using cost about $800-$900 a
week and although her parents
have been helping where they
can, she says finances are “super
tight.”
“There’s a lot of money raised
for breast cancer and research
and support for families, and I
didn’t see anything, I wasn’t offered
anything, I think the only
thing I was offered was the Look

Rodger, with

Good Feel Better, which was
amazing,” Mrs Rodger said.
In the last couple of weeks,
her friends set-up a Givealittle
page to help with the ongoing
costs.
So far, more than $4100 has
been donated.
“It’s so humbling. I think what
you don’t realise is how loved
you are,” Mrs Rodger said.

$9500 donated
to nurse
• By Emily O’Connell
MORE THAN $9500 has been
donated through a Givealittle
page to Rolleston oncology nurse
Anna Philips.
The 36-year-old, pictured with
her family above, was diagnosed
with bone cancer while on maternity
leave after having her third
child.
Test results show Mrs Philips’
cancer is contained within her
left femur. But a surgical biopsy
confirmed it is the “more aggressive
type.”
Mrs Philips is currently undergoing
10 weeks of chemotherapy
treatment.
Once completed, she will have
a surgery to remove the cancer
from her left femur followed by 20
more weeks of chemotherapy.

SELWYN RESIDENTS are
more positive about their quality
of life than people living in
Christchurch and Waimakariri,
according to the latest Wellbeing
Survey.
But they are the least satisfied
with their ease of access to the
natural environment.
The Canterbury District
Health Board released its survey
from May, done every six
months, to measure earthquake
recovery across the region.
It found 90 per cent of people
living in the district rated
their quality of life positively,
compared with 82 per cent in
Waimakariri District and 79 per
cent in Christchurch.
“Selwyn District residents
generally have more positive
findings in key well-being indicators,”
the survey said.
Rolleston youth worker
Courtney Forrest, who has lived
in Selwyn for almost six years,
says he would rate his quality of
life positively also.
He believes the district
provides lots of “amazing” opportunities.
“People feel a bit more freedom
to make their mark . . . whether
that be sport, recreation, I think
there’s something out here for

everybody,” he said.
Mr Forrest said the “majority”
of the people he interacts with
are also positive about their
quality of life in Selwyn.
“You always get the odd one
that doesn’t like the growth and
the busyness of it but I think that
statistic is really true,” he said.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
the district council is “very
happy” to see residents enjoy a
high quality of life.

communities to deliver facilities

Greater Christchurch
Psychosocial Governance Group
chairwoman Evon Currie is
wanting “local decision makers”
to explore the data and use it
to positively influence the wellbeing
of its population.
Mayor Broughton said its
operational team will be looking
at the survey results and working
on ways to continue to enhance
the lives of residents.
Seventy-eight per cent of
Selwyn residents are satisfied
with their ease of access to the
natural environment. This falls
behind Waimakariri on 87 per
cent and Christchurch at 80 per
cent.
When it came to emotional
well-being, on average Selwyn
residents rated themselves “significantly
higher” than Christchurch
City and Waimakariri
residents.
The survey also found Selwyn
residents are the most satisfied,
90 per cent, with the overall
quality of their houses in terms
of warmth, insulation, heating,
moisture levels and weather
tightness, when compared with
Waimakariri, 85 per cent, and
Christchurch 77 per cent.
Just under 70 per cent of
Selwyn residents said they were
satisfied with the ease of access
to suitable transport to daily
activities. This is lower than
the 74 per cent of Christchurch
residents who said they were
satisfied, but higher than
Waimakariri on 64 per cent.

Santa photo will need editing
I’M INTO week two of my stayat-home-dad
adventure and I’ve
been treated to another series of
firsts.
Vittoria saw her first live crab
at Waikuku Beach, we took our
first little walk hand-in-hand
(just in the lounge) and I even got
some steps towards me.
My favourite firsts though?
First photo with Father
Christmas and first time going to
an activity where other stay-athome-dads
turned up.
If you have zero clue of what
being the odd one out feels like,
being a dad at a baby activity is
normally a great introduction.
In my experience, outside of
weekends and public holidays,
dads at said events are proverbial
unicorns; rare and naturally herd
animals.
Recently I took Vittoria to our
first Toes and Giggles session
as the stay-at-home parent. It’s
a music and movement thing;
songs, toys, other babies with
coffee and biscuits after.
I was pleased to see two other
dads (also in their first couple
of weeks on the job so to speak)
come in. It will be cool to have
some contemporaries at some of
the same events to share stories
and compare notes with.
We didn’t get much time to
chat, Vittoria made multiple

As for Vittoria’s first Santa

revelation to light.
When I was a kid, I remember
being excited about Santa photos
and getting a chance to get
my order in before Christmas.
Going by Vittoria’s face when
jolly St Nick walked out for
the photo, I’ve discovered that
excitement is something you have

Upgrade proposed
for Kirwee reserve
• By Emily O’Connell
A NEW or updated playground,
dog exercise area and a shared
walkway and cycleway are just
some of the proposals being
considered for the redevelopment
of the Kirwee Recreation Reserve.
The reserve, which includes
sports fields and a bowling green,
is set to be redeveloped over the
next 10 years.
The district council’s Long
Term Plan has allocated $200,000
from 2019 for the project.
A working party, consisting of
three reserve management committee
members, three Kirwee
Community Committee members,
a representative from the
Malvern Community Board and
district council, was set up about
18 months ago.
Working party chairman
Raymond Williams said it is currently
looking at everything in
the reserve and considering what
would be beneficial for the community
in 20 to 30 years’ time.
Mr Williams said they are
planning to plant natives around
the boundary of the reserve next
year.
“That’s cemented in, I suppose.
Hoping to have that planted by
May,” he said.
Mr Williams said it set-up
a display board at the recent
Courtenay A&P Show for
members of the public to place
their ideas on.
So far, suggestions include
a new or updated playground,
youth area, community area,
dog exercise area, more sporting
facilities, shelter and a walkway
and cycleway around the reserve’s
boundary.
Mr Williams said once it has a
better idea of where everything
could go, and the district council’s
“reasonably happy,” it will
consult with the community.
He’s hopeful consultation will
take place “by autumn next year.”
The project will also include
irrigating the reserve using the
Central Plains Water Scheme. It
is currently irrigated from the
township water supply, sourced
from underground wells but
exceeds its allocated amount
under Kirwee’s water metering
system.

Sustainability key
to organic farming
There’s something for
everyone in the realm of
organic farming but as far
as Bill Martin is concerned,
it’s all about sustainability.
The Training College
Manager at Lincoln
University’s Biological
Husbandry Unit Organics
Trust (BHU) is happy to see
a surge in enthusiasm for
organic food production
as younger generations
become more aware of
environmental concerns.
He says the growing
popularity of organic
production in recent years
means that graduates are
now taking what they have
learned into a broader
range of sectors.
“It’s not just about
growing, wholesaling
and retailing food anymore. They’re
going into schools and teaching primary
and secondary schoolers about the
importance of sustainable farming and
gardening and really starting to embed the
philosophy into the education system.”
As far as conventional agricultural
practices are concerned, he says farmers
should be encouraged to optimise their
production, rather than maximise it at the
expense of the environment.
“We need to change our agricultural
paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”
Mr Martin says those interested in a
career in organics should enrol in the
one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production
course, which is open to students either
with or without university entrance.
Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga
and Mahinga Kai components and can
lead to employment in organic primary
production or other sectors related
to organics, especially education and
hospitality.
“The course offers a good grounding
in the principles of organic agriculture,
teaching the philosophies and histories
of organics and providing practical
knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr
Martin says.
Apply now for the Diploma in Organic
Agri-Food Production and begin studying
in February 2019.

Weedons

Gary
Doyle
responds
to the
Selwyn
Times
article on a proposal
for Selwyn residents
to contribute to the
operating costs of the
planned Christchurch
stadium
I was rather surprised at
the comments from Gerald
Carter on page 8 of the
November 28 edition.
To suggest that parts of
Selwyn should be amalgamated
into Christchurch
while leaving other areas
out is an extremely short
sighted view of the situation.
Christchurch would
dearly love to include Tai
Tapu, Lincoln, Rolleston
and West Melton into a
greater Christchurch area.
This would give
Christchurch a huge rating
area to help pay for any
enterprises they may have,
and totally to the detriment
of those ratepayers in
the areas mentioned. Then
of course the outer areas
would be of no interest, to
big, not enough revenue so
just dump them.
Leave the boundaries
exactly as they are, let
those who will profit from
development put their
hands into their pockets.
Hotels, motels, cafes,
bars, eateries etc. The
country areas are not a
cash cow to be exploited.
Southbridge
resident John
Summers responds
to Selwyn MP Amy
Adam’s column
on four-laning the
highway between
Christchurch and
Ashburton.
One of Amy Adams’
first utterances, early in
the term of the coalition
Government was “it’s a tax
and spend Labour Government.”
A bit silly I thought at
the time because taxing
and spending is what
Govenments of all persuasions
do. Now though, Mrs
Adams thinks the Government
should be spending
SELWYN TIMES
on upgrading and four
laning state highway one to
Ashburton as National had
planned to do.
Apparently spending
is okay. If it is on her pet
projects.
I recall many roading
and bridging improvements
promised by National
prior to the Northland
by-election but not one of
them was even consented.
Besides this it is at least
arguable wether more motorways
contribute to safer
motoring.
Our road toll rises
inexorably, in spite of continuous
roading improvements,
because of our poor
driving habits.
Personally, I applaud
the spending priorities of
the coalition Government
giving attention to our run
down public health system
and what National now
agrees is a housing crisis,
to name but two.

What’s involved in being a Freemason
Former
master of
Lincoln
Masonic
Lodge
Michael
Lavender
writes
about what
Freemasonry is and what the
lodge does
Freemasonry as we currently
know it has been around for
300 years, prior to that the stone
masons had their own “labour
entity.”
What is Freemasonry? It’s an
organisation, open to men, 18
years and older who share beliefs
of community standards and values,
who recognise an obligation
to support those less fortunate
than others, to support medical
and scholastic merit and live lives
of which they are proud.
There is a “hand shake,” this
simply carrying on the centuries
old tradition of recognition of
a fellow [previously worker]
member. Prior to written word, a
hand shake, given in a particular
format indicated the skill level of
the worker concerned.
Is there a goat? Only to keep the
grass down in days of yore.
Can any man join? Any man
with a belief of a supreme being.
So it’s a religious group then?
No, not at all. Two topics which
for centuries have caused strife
worldwide are politics and religion,
neither of these are acceptable
discussion in a Freemasons
lodge.
I’ve heard it’s a secret society?
Not really, no more than a
sports team practising game
moves in private. Check us out on
the web.
Is it expensive to join? Here at
Lincoln we currently pay $4 a
week. This covers dues to our local
lodge, to the national governing
body, plus a contribution to
benevolence.
What do you do at your meetings?
We pay the bills, approve
the minutes of the previous
monthly meeting, then if we have
a new member to bring into the
lodge, there is a three-part education
introduction, each separate
and spread over a number of
meetings. The purpose of these
introductions is to allow the
member an understanding of
the historical significance of the
workings of the “craft,” as it’s
known.
How long have you been in
Lincoln? We came to Maurice St
in 1880 and are still there.
How would I recognise some of
these benevolent works you do?
If you have a need of the new
Akaroa medical facilities, check
us out there. The chair of Geriatrics
in Auckland was established
by a $1,000,000 grant, the chair
of Paediatrics in Dunedin with a
$500,000 grant, with paediatrics
annually funded. Brain research
is currently the recipient of funding.
If you pay a visit to the
Christchurch charity medical
facilities you will be lying on the
operating table provided by us.
Previously we have given considerable
three-year support here
in Canterbury to junior lifesaving,
breast cancer research and
prostate cancer research. Currently
bursaries at both Lincoln
and Canterbury universities are
available.
If you feel you would like to
share with us the responsibility
of overseeing the good of society
as it comes our way, we would be
delighted to chat with you.

Lloyd Clausen
Clocking up nearly half a century
Leeston Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief fire officer
Lloyd Clausen, 64, has
been part of the brigade
for 49 years. Emily
O’Connell spoke to him
about his family history
with the brigade, being
a firefighter and his most
memorable call-out
How did you come to being a
firefighter?
I was pretty young obviously. It
was probably because the family
had been involved for a long time
in the brigade. Like a lot of brigades
in small rural towns you’ll
find lots of family connections.
Just one of those things you did
to help the community.
How old were you when you
joined?
Sixteen.
Were you still at school or
working at the time?
No, I was still at school. I
obviously couldn’t turnout
when I was at school because
the school wasn’t in Leeston. I
turned out all the other times.
What school were you going
to?
I was going to Southbridge
District High School.
Who in your family was
SERVICE: Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Lloyd Clausen has spent 49 years in the
brigade and isn’t looking to retire anytime soon.
involved in the brigade?
My grandfather Frank and my
father Bertram. My grandfather
was in the brigade going back
during the 1912 period, around
that era. He was also on the
town committee and he was
the fire inspector for the town
committee, so he did a few years
doing that. When dad was in
the brigade, he ended up doing
42 years when he retired. My
brother Grant also joined the
brigade and he’s done close to
40 years. I also have two distant
cousins and one of their son’s in
the brigade.
What was your first call-out?
Our fire engines were entirely
different to what we have now
obviously. So we sat up on the
back and we had a canvas cover
over the back and it was hailing
like hell and we went to a chimney
fire in Brookside.
How did you feel?
Excited and apprehensive. I
think I was probably a bit lucky
that the call was a chimney fire
and nothing really major. Well
it was major to the people, obviously.
It wasn’t as though it was
a house fire or a big property fire
or something like that. It was
probably a good type of call to
have as your first call.
What’s been the most
memorable call-out you’ve been
to and why?
Oh, so many. It’s hard really
to pick one out. There was a big
fire up in Nimmo’s in 1990 on
Waitangi Day. Massive big fire
up there that went on for over
a month. We had an appliance
there for over a week, running
24/7. I personally didn’t go to the
Port Hills fires. Probably assisting
in the earthquakes for a time
in Christchurch. We were driving
a tanker around and we were
supplying water to firefighters so
my role wasn’t very glamorous
but it had to be done. Then of
course, we were still operating
out here in Leeston.

as a volunteer firefighter
We took lots of chimneys down
and stuff like that, assisted people
were we could. We had flooding
in Leeston in 2013 where we
probably responded to about
80 calls in a 24-hour period.
All sorts of things. Just getting
someone out of a car and getting
them off to hospital, knowing
that they’re going to make a good
recovery is a pretty major thing
as well.
Of the call-outs you’ve
attended have there been ones
you haven’t been able to forget?
There’s always calls that will
leave a mark on you and we do
get really good psychological
through Fire and Emergency
New Zealand. But yeah, whilst
you learn to cope and deal
with it, and I don’t see I have
any issues around it, you still
remember them.
How did you become the chief
fire officer and when did that
happen?
I’ve been chief for about four
years I think. I’ve been an officer
since 1980 in the brigade and
just slowly worked my way up
the ranks from station officer,
to third officer to deputy to fire
chief.
How have you found it being
fire chief?
Good, I’m really enjoying it.
ACKNOWLEDGED: Lloyd Clausen receiving his Gold Bar for 49
years service from area manager Mike Johns.
You don’t jump in the truck unless
you really have to like I did
this morning. As the calls get
bigger, the rank required to take
command is bigger. So we had
the honey factory fire last year I
think, I took command of that in
the end. We had about seven to
eight appliances there. You’re not
so much the frontline firefighter
when you’re the chief.
How do you process some
of the devastating things you
see?
After you’ve been there a while
you have a bank of memories and
ways of coping. We have debriefs
within the brigade. People will
come out from FENZ and assist
with the debriefs and we have the
back-up of help if you need it and
that’s all highly confidential.
What would you say is
the hardest part of being a
firefighter?
I’ve talked to a few families
who have had a death in the family,
yeah, that’s pretty tough. If it’s
a young person it’s that loss the
of the life that’s not going to be
fulfilled.
What’s the most rewarding
part of the role?
To be able to help someone
out. We went today to where a
lady had a fire in her kitchen,
her dishwasher was on fire. She
did all the right things, we got
around there and got the fire
extinguished, there was plenty
of black smoke coming out of
the door when we went there.
The guys went in with breathing
apparatuses, got the fire out, no
other damage to the property
apart from the smoke and a bit of
water damage.
Do you have any plans to
finish up with the brigade?
Don’t let the cat out of the bag,
no. I have no immediate plans to
resign from FENZ, no.
How long have you lived in
Leeston for?
My whole life. My grandfather
was a saddler, he was here as a
young fella in 1890 working for
one of the local saddlers and
then in 1912 when the business
came up for sale, he bought the
business. My father took over the
saddler business and my brother
took over from him. I’ve been
overseas, done an OE and all that
sort of stuff, but I’m half an hour
from Hornby if you need to go,
you’ve got everything in the town
within reason.
Do you have a partner and/or
children?
Yes, I’ve got a partner named
Kathryn. She has a daughter
in Hamilton and I have a son
in Nelson and a daughter in
Leeston. We have a couple of
grandchildren.
What are some of your
hobbies?
Well I don’t do a lot of hobbies
as such. In the summer months
I manage one of the swimming
pools in Leeston . . . I’m on the
council committee, I’m chairman
of the Leeston Community
Committee, I’m on the area
committee for St John. I suppose
those sorts of things with the fire
brigade keep you reasonably
busy so I don’t do a lot of fishing
or anything like that these days.
I enjoy reading a book
occasionally if I get time
Family is a big hobby. Yes,
they’re the most important
thing in your life really.

Backyard Critters News
I see you: Jumping spider’s
excellent eyesight
Mike Bowie is
an ecologist
who specialises
in entomology
(insects
and other
invertebrates). Each
week he introduces a
new species found in
his backyard at Lincoln.
His column aims to raise
public awareness of
biodiversity, the variety
of living things around
us. Check out the full list

A COMMON spider around the
house these days is the bronze
jumper helpis minitabunda.
This eastern Australian
species, also found in Papua
New Guinea, was first seen
in Auckland in 1972, but has
since expanded its range south
through both islands.
The species has a skinny body,
is pale brown in colour and is
8-10mm long.
The male is the larger of the
two sexes, which is quite unusual
INQUISITIVE: The bronze jumper, helpis minitabunda, has a

in the spider world. Males have
much longer and darker front
legs, which distinguish them
from females.
Like other species of jumping
spiders, the bronze jumper has
large forward-facing eyes that
give them excellent eyesight.
This trait, combined with their
agility and speed, enables them
to ambush insects by leaping on
them.
They are very inquisitive
spiders and often jump on your
camera lens when you are trying
to photograph them.
The spider often makes web
retreats on leaves, where the
female will lay the eggs while the
male stays guard.
Chorus to put
on festive show
• By Ashleigh Monk
THE Christchurch City Chorus
will be putting on a festive
show to get everyone into the
Christmas spirit.
On December 15 the choir will
take the stage to perform The
Magic of Christmas.
Musical director Virginia
Humphrey-Taylor said the show
would include Christmas carols,
skits, poems and dancing.
“We want to share the joy and
music of Christmas with people,”
she said.
“We want everyone to come
and sing carols with us. It’s
something for the whole family
to get everyone excited for
Christmas.”
She said about 80 members of
the choir would be performing.
“We’ve got quartets singing,
we’ve got small groups singing,
we’ve got about 20 children who
will be performing,” she said.
“We’ll sing a lot of the classic
Christmas carols, but there will
also be a few songs that people
won’t know; songs from around
the world about Christmas.”
The show would give members
a chance to get some practice
in before the Christchurch City
SELWYN TIMES
Chorus heads to New Orleans
for a performance in September.
“We’re doing as many shows
as we can so we are prepared,”
she said.
She said she hoped to showcase
the group and encourage
new members to join.
“We’re looking for new members
all the time. There’s always a
turn over of membership because
people move away or their lives
change, so this is a chance for
people who might be interested in
joining to see what we do.”
The Magic of Christmas will
be performed on December 15,
with a matinee at 2pm and an
evening show at 7pm.
•Tickets will be $25 for
adults, $20 for seniors and
$10 for children, and can
be purchased at www.ccchorus.co.nz

Rolleston pupils’ music video
wins award
SELWYN TIMES
ADVENTURE: A group of 30 Lincoln High students left for a three week trip to Nepal on Sunday. ​
Rolleston School year 6 pupils Olly Preston, Fletcher
Brosnahan, Jayden Paterson and James Mills were fourth in
the music video year 4-6 category at the Movie and Digital
Excellence Awards. The group rewrote a song, recorded
it and made a music video using their scooters. The pupils
even held a cover shoot (below) for the video which they
called Kick, Push, Pull. To watch it, visit www.youtube.com/
watch?v=stWAlrDC-jI.
From Lincoln to Nepal
Lincoln High School year 13 student Caelum Betteridge writes about the school’s
involvement in the World Challenge and trip to Nepal
ON SUNDAY a group of 30
Lincoln High School students
started an exciting, three-week
adventure in Nepal with World
Challenge.
After nearly two years of
planning, fundraising and team
building, everything has finally
come together.
When we arrived in
Kathmandu, we split into two
smaller groups – team Aoraki
and team Everest – each with
two teachers, one World
Challenge leader and a cute yak
or yeti mascot to accompany us.
We, the students, will receive
a lot of flexibility in all our
activities. We are planning and
managing our own meals and
accommodation, and finding
our own balance of trekking and
community-focused work.
Both teams will have a
very rewarding opportunity
to interact with some of the
local children as we spend
several days supporting small
communities by improving the
facilities at their schools.
Team Everest will repair the
walls of the compound and
renovate and paint the toilet and
classrooms at the Shree Aatma
Bikash Basic School.
Team Aoraki will help build
a new block, dismantle and
build the toilet block and play
sports with the children at Shree
Chandrajyoti Basic School.
These few days will definitely
be one of the highlights of the
trip and an awesome way
to meet some of the local
people.
A large portion of our time
in Nepal will be spent trekking
through the Himalayas to
challenge ourselves and gain a
whole new perspective of the
country.
Team Everest will walk the
Poon Hill track, which is six
days in duration and reaches
an altitude of 3300m at its
highest. Team Aoraki will have
a one day acclimatisation trek
above Kathmandu before a
seven-day hike along the
Mardi Himal track which,
weather permitting, will provide
us with amazing views from
4500m.

Kindness the ‘embodiment of the Rolleston
Rolleston College year 10 student Dylan Evans won the school’s speech
competition recently. His speech is below
IT’S THE embodiment of the
Rolleston spirit. It’s the focus of
a blog post by our principal.
K-I-N-D-N-E-S-S.
Kindness . . . why? Why
should we be kind? Why does it
matter? I will be answering all
of those questions in a stunning
display of excellence that will
leave no question as to the
best whānau. It’s Koanga.
Uh ah.
Kindness is an eminent
avenue for development of self.
Being the recipient of kindness
boosts faith in yourself, in your
abilities and when you trust
yourself, you trust your abilities,
you open yourself to failure and
by extension, success.
When you are certain you can
prevail, you take your failures in
stride and as lessons. You build
your arsenal of knowledge, gunby-gun,
knife-by-knife, until you
have the competence to assault
any challenge, any problem.
Kindness also ‘creates an
environment where it is okay to
make mistakes, learn from them
and become a better person,’
according to Kindness
. . . Why, a blog post by Mr
Saville. An environment in
which a person can make
mistakes, a person can learn
from their mistakes, is an
environment which can culture
a person with a desire for
learning, because they are able
to take risks in their learning
and develop unconventional,
fresh ideas without the
possibility of discouragement.
When kindness is a major
factor in a person’s life, they can
be resilient by using failure as a
method of education, they can
be curious by taking risks in
their learning, they can be joyful
by seeing failure as progress, not
a stand-still or dead-end, and
they can be confident in their
learning, their
capabilities, so
they can push
themselves to
the limits they
set, to achieve the
goals they hope they
can attain.
Kindness is an
effective instrument
in the building
of communities.
Displaying
kindness
to other people
and groups of
people not only
builds bridges
and relationships
between people,
schools,
communities, and
SHARING IDEAS:
Year 10 student

winning speech

College.
SCHOOLS
countries, but solidifies those
relationships. Relationships
pop when there is an absence of
kindness and respect because
relationships require mutual
respect and kindness in order
for both parties to feel satisfied;
you need to appreciate and
reciprocate kindness if you
want a long-lasting relationship.
No one would want to be in a
relationship where they feel they
are doing most of the work, and
aren’t appreciated.
To have a friend, is to be a
friend.
Being kind to build
communities means being
inclusive when you spread
unconditional kindness,
be collaborative in your
attempts to build bridges
of kindness between
communities, be able to
communicate and connect
kindness in your interactions
with your communities, and
be bi-culturally competent and
confident by communicating
with a diverse group of people to
challenge your ideas and grow
your kindness skill-set.

spirit’
And in that same vein, I
fundamentally believe gestures
of kindness can swirl and
tumble and transform futures. A
small act a kindness, a random
act of kindness, even a small,
random act of kindness can do
unimaginable good. Sometimes
we do not know what is happening
inside the life of another person,
their struggles and doing a kind
thing can boost the spirit of
someone in need, give them an
extra spring in the step when they
are feeling weighed down. And
in a school environment, being
kind, generous, and respectful
can change futures. A teacher
encouraging an understanding
in a subject can cultivate a love
and a drive for lifelong learning.
A teacher displays kindness to a
student in need, and the student
has the power to change the world.
A small ripple, an insignificant
current, can grow into a tsunami.
Futures can be transformed
by encouraging being creative,
encouraging learning and creating
the map to direct their own
learning, not following a pre-made
one. Enforcing the need to be
environmentally aware, care for
the future generations and instil
kindness into the fabric of society
and be adaptive by altering your
kindness to fit into any situation.
Use kindness as a tool, as
weapon to develop self, build
communities, and transform
futures.

from Jazz Dance New Zealand.
The Anna Lee School of
Dance student, who has been
dancing since she was threeyears-old,
was chosen for the
scholarship after receiving “very
high” exam marks in her jazz
exams.
Her mother Gina Lye said she
was pleased for her daughter
who had “worked so hard this
year,” practising dance for 10 or
more hours a week.
She said Katie was “absolutely
thrilled” with the scholarship
and it will go towards
continuing her dance tuition.
Katie, who does jazz, ballet

West Melton Community and Recreation Centre
official opening
Selwyn District Council is hosting an official opening of the West Melton Community and
Recreation Centre on Friday 7 December at 3pm.
The community celebration of the opening will be attended by representatives of Te Taumutu
Rūnanga, Hon Amy Adams, Mayor Sam Broughton, members of the West Melton Residents’
Association and Council staff. Members of the public are warmly invited to attend the event where
students from West Melton School will perform a kapa haka.
West Melton Community and Recreation Centre committee chair Bruce Russell says the opening
is a chance for everyone in the community to have a look at the new facility.
“This is brilliant new facility which will greatly enhance the social and recreational opportunities
available to the West Melton community. The organising committee and the Council are extremely
proud of this facility,” Mr Russell says.
Council Major Projects Property Manager John Reid says the new facility, which took about 13
months to complete*, will cater to the future demands of the West Melton residents as well as the
wider Selwyn community.
“This modern, high quality community facility will serve the needs of the West Melton area, but it
will also add a significant asset to the growing network of community facilities across the Selwyn
district,” Mr Reid says.
The $8.5 million facility has community meeting spaces, indoor sport and recreation (including
an indoor court), a scout hall, a Plunket room and Playcentre. There is also space for community
group activities such as service, gardening and film clubs.
The facility has a new pedestrian promenade which connects to the entrance of the building and
is lined with trees. There are also a number of native and exotic plant species.
West Melton had an existing outdated and earthquake damaged hall located on the same site as the
new facility. The West Melton Community and Recreation Centre is a much larger and more modern
facility, designed to better meet the needs of a population that has grown rapidly in recent years.
*As the carpark is planned to be completed in late December, people who attend the opening
event are encouraged to park at the West Melton Tavern.
More public toilets for Selwyn district
New public toilets are being installed across the district in response to demand from visitors and
residents.
With funding from the government’s Tourism Infrastructure Fund, the Council is currently installing a
new three-pan public toilet at Castle Hill at a cost of $166,300. Early next year, new single pan toilets
will be installed at Lake Georgina ($54,800) and Lake Selfe ($54,800) as well as another four-pan toilet
at Dunsandel ($185,700).
The installation of new non-funded toilets in the district include one at Ryton Bay ($57,625) which was
opened last November, and a new four-pan toilet will be installed at Lincoln Domain ($186,800) early
next year.
Community Projects Manager Cam Warr says the funding from the government has allowed the Council
to quickly provide more toilet facilities across the district to meet demand.
“The government funding has allowed us to increase the number of available toilets at sites that have
large numbers of visitors.
We’ve also been able to replace older and less environmentally friendly toilets. It’s important to provide
quality facilities, especially if we want people to use them,” Mr Warr says.
The purpose of the Tourism Infrastructure Fund is to provide financial support for local tourism-related
infrastructure where tourism growth (domestic and international) is placing pressure on, or potential
growth is constrained by, existing infrastructure and the local community is unable to respond in a
timely way without assistance.
The fund provides up to $25 million per year for the development of tourism-related infrastructure such
as carparks, freedom camping facilities, sewerage and water works and transport projects.
Taking water from fire hydrants
The Council is reminding commercial water users about restrictions
on extracting water from fire hydrants.
The Council does not provide a permit system for contractors to
extract water from fire hydrants on the public potable (drinking
water) network and contractors must not connect any equipment to
the network.
The only exception to this is on development subdivision sites
where the Council permits developers to apply for a single
connection point, which has a range of conditions including
payment for the use of the water.
Council Asset Manager Murray Washington says this policy is
different to neighbouring authorities, but is needed to reduce the
level of potential risk.
“We take a cautious approach to protecting the health of our
residents, and this has to take priority over the convenience of
contractors,” he says.
“The Council has considered the potential risks of contractor
equipment being connected to the public supply, and decided there
is potential for the equipment being unsterilised – and this is too
great a risk.
Mr Washington says contamination events have occurred in the past
after contractors connected to the public supply to extract water.
The Council is getting in touch with contractors across the district
to make them aware of the policy.
Any contractors who need further information should contact the
Water Services Team on 347 2800.

Takeaway coffee cups go
into the red bin
Disposable takeaway coffee cups go in your red lid rubbish
bin. They are lined with plastic to make them waterproof so
your drink doesn’t leak, but unfortunately this makes them
unable to be processed through the recycling plant.
Coffee cups can’t go in your organics bin
either, even if it’s marketed as ‘compostable’
or ‘biodegradable’. We cannot currently
accept these in our composting process.
Better yet, why not get a keep cup.

Good news for the weekend tidy-up - the Pines Resource Recovery Park will now be open from 9am to
4.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
The new extended hours bring the weekend opening hours in line with weekday hours at the Recovery
Park, in Burnham School Road near Rolleston.
Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says the longer weekend opening hours should be a bonus
for residents.
“With many of our residents working Monday to Friday, the weekend provides a good opportunity to
catch up on work around the home, and chores such as taking rubbish to the Recovery Park.”
Mr Boyd is hopeful the new closing time will also give users the opportunity to plan their days, allowing
them make sure their rubbish runs are done with plenty of time to spare.
For more information on Pines Recovery Park please head to selwyn.govt.nz/pines
The revised opening hours are now in place.

Leeston-Southbridge, Weedons
open twenty20 season with wins
LEESTON-Southbridge and
Weedons both had perfect starts
to their Canterbury country
premier twenty20 campaigns on
Saturday with two wins each.
The opening round of the
competition saw all eight topflight
sides play two games each.
Leeston-Southbridge batted
first in their opening game
against Oxford-Rangiora and
racked up 132 runs in their 20
overs. Opener Ben Chamberlain
anchored the innings with 37
off 46 balls, while Rupert Young
contributed 36 off 29.
They defended the total well,
restricting the Oxford-Rangiora
run chase and picking up timely
wickets. Robert Clifford was the
key man with the ball, picking
up four wickets and conceding
just 24 runs from his four overs.
Oxford-Rangiora fell 14 runs
short.
Leeston-Southbridge then
backed up the win, tipping over
• By Allan Batt.
Southbrook by eight wickets.
After being set 156 to win,
Young coolly went about
knocking off the total. He
opened the innings with an
unbeaten 64 to guide Leeston-
Southbridge home with five balls
to spare.
Meanwhile, in a thriller at
Kirwee, Darfield and Weedons
were unable to be separated in a
rare twenty20 draw.
However, with 140 runs each,
Weedons took the win because
they lost fewer wickets. Weedons’
James Richards scored 40 to lead
his team to a solid score of 140/7,
with Anoop Surendran snaring
three wickets for Darfield.
Darfield’s Chris Warner led
the reply with a blistering 61
off 44 balls, with five sixes. But
Weedons hung in the game with
wickets at the other end. Lachie
Stove was the chief destroyer
with three key wickets, including
Warner in the 16th over. The
LINCOLN SPEEDWAY racer
Jeremy Webb had no intention
of racing both his TQ
midget and his midget
on the same night this
summer at Ruapuna.
But he has a burning
desire to pay tribute to
the late Ryan Stone, an
early mentor of his on
Saturday.
Webb, the current
New Zealand TQ
champion has decided
to enter the Ryan Stone Tribute
race in his 750cc suzukipowered
TQ, as well as
contest a round of the Southern
Midget Series on the same
night in his 2700cc esslinger
engine midget.
“I guess it’s as
good a time as any to
start my preparation
for February’s
New Zealand TQ
championship at
Ruapuna this Saturday.
If it wasn’t the Stoney
race, I’d leave the TQ in
the shed and focus on
the midget, but Ryan
means a heck of a lot to many
of the TQ racers and his race is
wickets proved pivotal with
Darfield finishing on 140/9.
In their second match, Sandeep
Singh and Josh Watson both took
three wickets as Weedons bowled
Sefton out for 118 in 18.2 overs.
Richards then had another fine
knock of 47, while fellow opener
Shannon Dunnett piled on 57 as
Weedons secured an eight-wicket
win with more than eight overs
to spare.
Darfield went on to beat
Kaiapoi in their second game,
while Cheviot got back on track
with a victory over Oxford-
Rangiora.

five wickets in Weedons’ two
wins at the weekend: PHOTO:
KAREN CASEY
Webb to honour late friend in midget race
Jeremy Webb
one of those got-to-win deals,”
said Webb.
Stone passed away in 2012
after a battle with cancer and,
although Webb is a two-time
winner of the race held in
memory of his good friend, he
says that it goes deeper than
that.
“My father Dick was,
like many others, a good
mate of Ryan’s. Stoney put
in a huge effort getting the TQ
class to adapt the water-cooled
750cc engines that made the
class a lot more affordable than
the air-cooled machines,” Webb
said.
“The fact that TQs remain
relatively strong numberswise
is largely due to Ryan’s
perseverance,” said Webb.
Not only is Webb having to
crank-up his preparation to
defend his national TQ crown,
but he is again returning
to Auckland to contest the
international midget car series
at Western Springs over the
Christmas break.
Last season, Webb’s efforts
saw him win the Presidents Cup
at the New Zealand Speedway
Awards in recognition of his
prowess in the two classes at a
national level.

West Melton Forest
The pine trees in West Melton Forest were originally planted as a flood protection measure,
now they continue to do their job whilst providing scenic tracks for horse riders of all abilities.
There is a picnic area with hitching
posts for horses. Walkers and runners
are welcome, but it’s the horses that have
the right of way here.
The West Melton Forest is a section of
the Waimakariri River Regional Park,
covering approximately 350 hectares
of pine forest between Chattertons and
Weedons Ross Roads. The park entrance
is off Chattertons Road, where a night
gate is opened at 7am daily. During
daylight savings the gate is locked at
10pm, outside of this time it is locked at
7pm. Background, the pine trees of West
Melton Forest were originally planted
as a flood protection measure, giving
the stop banks a first line of defence
against a flood. The development of
the forest as a park was undertaken
due to the increasing demand for safe
horse riding facilities in the Selwyn
District. Environment Canterbury
worked in partnership with the Selwyn
District Council to create an area where
recreational horse riding is possible
away from motorised activity while still
maintaining flood protection.
Lots of choices to participate in at the
West Melton Forest.
• Horse trails - 10km marked trail
which is suitable for most levels
of riding ability
• Walks - although horses have the
right of way
• Picnics
• Gas BBQ’s

Water results for West Melton
What does the Christchurch West
Melton water zone committee do?
The committee works with an on-the-ground
team made up of Environment Canterbury
staff and other Canterbury Water Management
Strategy partners to implement work
programmes in the Christchurch West Melton
area.
What are they aiming to achieve by
2020?
They’ve agreed on several areas of priority
and outcomes to budget for and then act on
in the Christchurch West Melton water zone,
which they will measure progress against to
2020.
Boundaries With Other Water Management
Zones The Zone shares boundaries with
Banks Peninsula, Selwyn Waihora, and
Waimakairiri Zones, with water moving into
and out of the Zone: • The Waimakariri River
flows through the Christchurch West Melton,
Selwyn-Waihora, and Waimakariri Zones of
The Waimakariri upper catchment is in the
Selwyn Waihora Zone of Christchurch, West
Melton shares a boundary with the Waimakariri
Zone along the lower parts of the catchment
• The aquifers in the Zone are part of a larger
groundwater system on the Canterbury Plains,
with water moving both into and out of the
Zone • The Halswell River/Huritini catchment
flows from the Zone into Selwyn-Waihora
Zone (towards Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere) •
The reticulated public water supply to Lyttelton
Harbour/ Whakaraupō is supplied from
groundwater in the Zone In addition, there is a
Regional Committee for the Canterbury Water
Management Strategy (CWMS) that considers
crossboundary matters from a regional
perspective. The Zone Committee will seek to
ensure that an integrated approach to water
management is taken that reflects catchments
rather than administrative boundaries.

Agri Magic farm environment
plan template approved
Environment Canterbury confirmed last
week that Agri Magic’s farm environment
plan template meets the requirements of
the Canterbury Land & Water Regional
Plan (LWRP).
Under the LWRP, all farms requiring
a land use consent to farm must produce
an environmental plan to support it.
Environment Canterbury chief executive
Bill Bayfield said the Agri Magic template
met the criteria of Schedule 7 of the LWRP,
as modified by the Nutrient Management
and Waitaki Plan Change (Plan Change 5),
yet to be made operative.
“Like the Farm Environment Plan
Assessment Group, I was impressed with
the explanation provided setting out
how the template could be used as part
of a package helping Agri Magic clients
navigate through and comply with their
environmental obligations,” Mr Bayfield
said.
“The template is comprehensive and
focused on making sure clients are clear on
risks and priorities for action.”
Agri Magic director Charlotte Glass said
the template was developed to help farmers
identify the great things they already
do and identify areas where they could

“Then we support them to develop

“We guide them to focus on practical
changes that will result in resource use

practices and technology that will be right

The Land & Water Regional Plan is
a primary delivery mechanism of the
Canterbury Water Management Strategy.
“It is reassuring to see in the Agri Magic
template a methodology that will enable
updating of plans and to identify and
address actual and potential environmental
effects and risks,” Mr Bayfield said.
“We encourage all farmers to prepare
farm environment plans, regardless of
whether they’re needed by regulation.
International markets are increasingly
demanding proven sustainability, and
farm environment plans are one way to
demonstrate this.”
Under Schedule 7 of the LWRP, FEPs
can be prepared either by landowners
themselves using guidance in the LWRP
or via industry-prepared templates and
guidance material.
A minimum content is required, and all
FEPs must include an assessment of the
risks associated with the farming activities
and how those risks will be managed.
This includes irrigation, application of
nutrients, management of effluent, stock
exclusion from waterways, offal pits and
farm rubbish pits. FEPs must be audited
at regular intervals by Environment
Canterbury-approved auditors.

Taking our agri message
to Latin America
Farmers, dairy product manufacturers
and trade representatives in Uruguay
and Argentina have been hearing a New
Zealand take on current agricultural
issues.
Late last month Federated Farmers of
NZ President Katie Milne was engaged in
a busy schedule of speaking and meeting
engagements in Montevideo and Buenos
Aires in a programme put together by the
Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and
New Zealand’s Ambassador to Argentina,
Paraguay and Uruguay, Raylene Liufalani.
Ms Milne’s engagements in Uruguay
included giving an address to a conference
with the theme ‘Social innovation for a
country with agricultural conscience’,
a meeting with Uruguay’s Minister
for Agriculture and Livestock, Enzo
Benech, and visiting the PGG Wrightson
Pas Research Centre to witness their
operations in Latin America.
The Argentine Congress on November
22 included a Q&A session with Argentine
Deputies and Senators, at which her topics
included future farming challenges,
the importance of co-operatives in
New Zealand agriculture (dairy in
particular) and the role of women in rural
communities.
Among other events, she also had
discussions with CIL (Argentina’s dairy
industry body) and spoke at a symposium
of La Serenisima, a dairy product maker
with more than 5000 employees and
annual revenue of more than
$NZ2 billion.
During her visit she also met Uruguayan
and Argentine farmers, including her
counterparts, to hear first-hand the
challenges they are facing in the region.
While New Zealand has a much higher
level of trade with Asian nations than
those in Latin America, the latter is seen
as offering significant opportunities –
especially with Chile and Peru being
signatories to the CPTPP. New Zealand is
also exploring deeper trade engagement
with MERCOSUR (Argentina, Brazil,
Paraguay and Uruguay).
With Argentina and Uruguay New
Zealand has a long history of agricultural
co-operation, including advocacy for
freeing up global agricultural trade
and promoting sustainable agricultural
production. The three countries work
together on global issues such as
protecting Antarctica and the Southern
Ocean, international security challenges
and climate change solutions.
According to Statistics NZ, in the year
to September 2017, New Zealand gained
export revenues from goods and services
to Argentina of $134 million (with imports
from Argentina at $222.6m). The figures
for Uruguay for the same period were
$27.6m and $8.9m.
People to people links are strong and
growing as a result of the direct Air New
Katie Milne in
Uruguay 2018
Zealand flight between Auckland and
Buenos Aires. 1000 young Argentines
and 200 young Uruguayans travel to New
Zealand each year under the Working
Holiday Scheme with many working on
New Zealand farms. 22,000 Argentines
visited New Zealand last year - the largest
source of tourists from Latin America.

Kaleidoscope of colourful capsicums
• By Henri Ham
SUMMER IS knocking on the
door (well it should be), which
means it’s now the perfect time
to start planting capsicums in
your garden.
Capsicums, known in other
countries as sweet bell peppers,
are surprisingly easy to grow.
Their main need is for a warm
sunny environment. Once
you’ve ticked off that, they’re
really plant-and-forget veges –
requiring little maintenance.
But what I really love about
capsicums is the way they
change their colour as they
ripen – showing off their
kaleidoscope of colour.
They all start out
green and then
change colour
to yellow, then
orange, and lastly
red. And the
longer they’re on
the plant, the
sweeter they will
become.
Another great
thing about
capsicums is that
they cope well in
confined spaces with
little watering. This means
they thrive well in a pot. Planting
them in a pot also allows you to
shift them around to maximise
the sun, and also really show
them off to your friends and
curious neighbours.
Green, yellow, orange, red and
purple capsicum seedlings are all
available now. And if you want
a head start on your growing,
there are also a toro (sweet red)
variety available as an established
plant. The toro (sweet red) has
a distinctive horn shape to it.
It differs from the classic red
capsicum by being thinner,
sweeter and taking less time to
ripen.
Capsicums like similar
growing conditions to your
tomatoes. They like a warm,
sunny, sheltered and welldrained
spot. Before planting,
prepare your soil by digging in
some compost, sheep pallets or
general fertiliser. The richer the
soil, the more generous your
plant will be with its crop.
Once you’ve prepared your
ideal capsicum planting spot, dig
holes about
3cm
deep,
spacing them 40cm apart. Place
the seedlings inside and
lightly pack down with
soil. I like to stake my
seedlings at this point.
‘If you stake it, they will
grow,’ is my positivethinking
attitude to
capsicum growing.
Add mulch to help
keep the weeds down.
Newspaper covered with
pea straw can also
work really well.
And watch out for
slugs, who are
also big fans of
capsicums. Lay
down some
bait or an
organic option
is to check out
our beer bait,
which you can
make at home.
From here, keep them
SWEET: Capsicums like
similar growing conditions
to tomatoes. In two to
three months you can start
harvesting them.
watered (more so for those in
pots) and give them a feed of
liquid fertiliser every fortnight
to ensure a bumper crop. But try
not to water the leaves of your
capsicums, as this can encourage
disease.
In two to three months
you can start harvesting your
capsicums. Some cooks may say
a watched pot never boils; well
I say a capsicum never ripens
when you check it every day.
Well of course they do – but
they quickly become the most
inspected plant in my vege
garden, while I’m waiting for
them to really ripen up.

Sunflowers bring out the inner child
• By Henri Ham
SUNFLOWERS ARE pure fun
in the garden. They’re bright,
cheery and bring out the inner
child in us all.
For me, they also release my
competitive streak – where I
can’t help but check out other
people’s sunflowers and mentally
compare them to ones I’m
growing.
After the erratic spring
weather we’ve been having lately,
December is the perfect time
to start thinking about planting
some sunflowers in your garden.
Sunflowers come in all shapes
and sizes. Varying in height
(from to 60cm to 3m tall),
and flowering in colours from
crimson to orange, yellow and
even stripes. Most sunflowers
each produce a single flower
head, although some branching
varieties grow multiples. And
the largest heads can grow up to
50cm wide.
Sunflowers are heliotropic,
meaning they turn their heads
throughout the day to gain maximum
sun rays on their faces.
So factor this in when you’re
working out where to plant them
in the garden. If you place them
on the western border to your
house, they’ll be facing away
from you in the afternoon sun.
When it comes to growing
sunflowers, they are pretty easy.
They require a sheltered, welldrained,
but only moderately,
fertile soil. However, it’s key that
they’re planted in a super sunny
spot that gets at least six to eight
hours of daily sun.
Try a classic, bright yellow
flowering, single stem sunflower
– the Russian giant. It definitely
lives up to its name and can
reach up to 3m high.
I personally love the group impact
they can make when grown
in a bunch together or along a
fence line.
Dig holes around 3cm deep
and plant your seedlings approximately
30cm apart. Sunflowers
can really suck the nutrients and
water out of the ground around
VIVID: Sunflowers can reach up to 3m
high, like this Russian giant.
them, so make sure any nearby
annuals are around 30cm away
from the sunflower stem.
Now is also the time to stake
them to ensure they don’t topple
over later on. You’ll be amazed at
how quickly they can shoot up,
so its important to stake early
before you risk damaging the
root systems.
Water your sunflowers in
the morning to avoid root rot
overnight. Once established they
don’t really need any fertiliser,
but adding some every few
weeks is a good idea if you’re entering
them in a tallest sunflower
competition or just really want
to show off.
You can also grow sunflowers
in pots. I recommend at least a
30-litre pot, as you don’t want
the sunflower to get top heavy
and topple over. Again, stake it
right from when you plant the
seedling so you keep the root
systems intact. Having them near
a fence or wall where you can
secure them to something else
is also recommended to ensure
their stems don’t break under
their own weight.
In two to three months your
sunflowers should have risen and
be shining proud in your garden.
Later, when the heads begin
to droop you can harvest their
heads for seeds.
Once harvested, soak the seeds
over night in a lightly salted
water. Then slow roast them
for 40min at 150° deg C. Once
cooled, store in an airtight jar
in the fridge for two months or
freezer for up to a year. Enjoy
them added to salads or savoury
baking for many months to
come. Delicious.
BRING oN
summer
Contrary to what we have had weather-wise of late, Summer is here so we need to
look to protect our gardens for the long hot days ahead. As the year draws to a close,
we will also be looking to prepare for the festive season full of entertaining friends
and family and hopefully some relaxing.
watering your gardenS
Much the same as when watering your lawn, your
garden will benefit from a watering for an hour or more
every few days rather than a light sprinkling every day.
This will ensure the moisture gets down deeper, and
encourage the plant’s roots to go further down in the
soil. This creates a stronger plant with well-established
roots. Remember to water early in the morning or later
in the evening to
stop your plants
drying out during
the heat of the
day. If you are
unsure how much
water your plants
need, grab a handy
moisture metre.
Lawn Care through Summer
Move your mower up a notch so you aren’t cutting it
too short. Leaving a bit of height will help to protect
your lawn from drying out so quickly. Water your lawns
early in the morning and later in the evening, not in
the heat of the day. Where possible, water for an hour
or more to give it a good soak rather than a quick
watering. A handy tip is to set a water timer and you
can let it do its thing! Grab one in store or online today.
entertaining outdoorS
We love entertaining outdoors here in NZ, and
now is a great time to get sorted in time for
Christmas. A fresh layer of bark will tidy up the
garden wonderfully, and some decorative stones
will add a touch of something different around
patios or pavers. If you are looking to create a new
space, we have a great range of bark nuggets,
mulch, chips, pavers and stones to help with your
DIY projects.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Equinox boosts Holden’s SUV range
• By Ross Kiddie
HOLDEN HAS gone big with its
sport utility vehicle range. Not
only is there a comprehensive
array of models to choose from,
they go from small to large –
Trax to the new Acadia.
While Acadia is the SUV of the
moment, there’s another relatively
new wagon in Holden’s book –
the Equinox – a Mexican-sourced
mid-size car which impresses
more and more each time I’m in
it.
The Equinox lands here in a
wide variety of models, it is a
complete range starting from
$35,990 and ending at $59,990, all
with four-cylinder engines, and
all turbocharged. Base models
land with a 1.5-litre petrol unit,
there is a 2-litre petrol and a 1.6-
litre diesel.
I’m yet to drive the diesel, but
I can report that even in basemodel
form the power plant is far
from disgraced; it is a real honey
and would probably be my choice
if I was an Equinox buyer.
However, this evaluation
focuses on the range-topping
2-litre LTZ-V petrol, which lists
at $56,990 and is fully loaded
with specification. It gets all the
traditional SUV kit, but there are
also many niceties that would
please the South Island buyer –
heated steering wheel and heated

off-road tracks.
seats for the cold winters, dual
sunroof, and cooling seats. Other
major items include satellite
navigation, cruise control, Bose
premium audio, wireless mobile
phone charging, hands-free
tailgate and hill descent control.
The latter works on four-wheeldrive,
obviously, and while not
all models have drive to all four
wheels, the LTZ-V does, and it
is usual SUV fare, not so much a
device to tackle gnarly off-road
stuff, but easily a mechanism so
that cross-country tracks and
trails can be conquered.
On the media launch for the
Equinox, Holden New Zealand
incorporated an adventurous
route out of New Plymouth,
taking in Whangamomona
through the Forgotten World
Highway. The washboard
roads were a real test for the
suspension and driveline of
the Equinox, but even those
without four-wheel-drive coped
admirably. The vehicle is capable
and honest, it does well under
testing conditions and does so
without compromise. Occupant
comfort is high, and the driveline
mechanicals are well suited to
tough conditions.
Holden rates the 2-litre model
with 188kW and 353Nm; for
interest’s sake, the 1.5 gets 127kW
and 275Nm, reinforcing my
comment earlier that it doesn’t
miss out on much.
Quite obviously, the 2-litre
doesn’t work quite as hard, and
• Price – Holden Equinox
LTZ-V, $56,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4652mm; width, 1843mm;
height, 1697mm

nine-speed,automatic.
• Performance –

• Fuel usage – 8.4l/100km
it has more than enough power,
it competes in the mid-size SUV
market admirably. Against the
stopwatch it will easily make a
standstill to 100km/h sprint in
8.8sec.
More importantly, it is an engine
that is gentle with fuel use. Holden
claims an 8.4-litre per 100km
(34mpg) combined cycle average.
That sits well with the 9.8l/100km
(29mpg) figure showing on the
fuel usage readout during my
time with the test car. At 100km/h
the instantaneous readout sits at
6.6l/100km (42mpg).
Drive is channelled through a
nine-speed automatic gearbox,
the benefit of so many gears is
the smooth and fluid way in
which transmission is delivered.
It’s almost impossible to pick
shifts and determine which gear
is actually allocated.
In all circumstances the
Equinox feels feisty with
wonderful engine response –
that’s the beauty of having such
forceful low down torque, the
engine constantly feels eager.
I took the test car west to
Hororata, and while there aren’t
many corners on the roads
heading to that settlement, I
felt the North Island experience
provided more than ample
opportunity to gauge the
Equinox’s potential in the tight
stuff and I can report it is a
champion in terms of handling.
Holden New Zealand, and I
guess its partner in Australia, is
on a fairly solid direction in terms
of marketing and promotion. The
product which is arriving in our
market is markedly different to
what we have traditionally come to
expect from the company.
However, that’s a good thing,
and the cars that are gracing our
showrooms are aimed to satisfy
families and fleet buyers.
The Equinox is a car which
competes well with some tough
opposition. I like it, and I’m
particularly looking forward to
driving the diesel variant at some
point, as well as getting behind
the wheel of the Acadia on my
home patch. They are both a
breath of fresh air in the crowded
SUV market.

Seven things you should ask a
lawyer when buying a house
Most people know that it’s a good idea
to seek advice from a lawyer when buying
a property. If you’re signing a binding legal
document that involves the biggest financial
transaction you’ll probably ever make, it
makes sense to engage an expert to help.
However, a lawyer or conveyancer isn’t
just there to dot the i’s and cross the t’s
on the contract. You should see them as a
valuable source of support throughout the
property buying process, not just someone
to push the paperwork through at the last
minute. Things can move fast in property
transactions so it’s smart to start talking to a
lawyer as soon as you start looking through
‘for sale’ ads. Here’s what to ask them in the
first instance:
1. Are you a conveyancing
specialist? It might seem obvious, but
you really do want a lawyer that specialises
in property transactions and knows the insand-outs
of what you’re wanting to do. You
may already have a great family lawyer, but
if this isn’t an area they specialise in, then
look elsewhere – you could even ask them
for a recommendation.
2. How much do you charge?
Different lawyers and conveyancers have
different fee structures, and pricing can
vary dramatically, so it pays to have a clear
understanding of what they will charge you
from the get-go, and when it will be due.
3. What clauses should I add?
Your sale and purchase agreement can
include clauses, such as a finance clause that
means the offer is subject to you getting loan
pre-approval from your bank. Talk to your
lawyer about your individual circumstances
and what clauses should be included in your
contract, to best protect yourself. Talking
about this early on will save you time when
it comes to making an offer and the real
estate agent or salesperson asks what clauses
you’d like in the agreement.
4. Can you explain the LIM to
me? A LIM is a council file that includes
all the information held about a particular
property. These files can be chunky, complex
and full of very detailed information about
resource consents, zoning information,
natural features that affect a property (like
flooding) and more. Ask your lawyer or
conveyancer to look over these documents
and explain them to you, so you fully
understand all aspects of the information.
Your lawyer will know what to watch out for
when reading through the documents and
is the best person to spot any red flags for
you.
5. What do I need to know about
a unit title property? If you are buying a
unit title property, the seller must provide
you with certain sets of information. Talk to
your lawyer about the information you are
entitled to and ask their advice on whether
you should seek any further information.
6. Will you check my sale and
purchase agreement before I sign it?
Don’t sign anything before your lawyer or
conveyancer has read over it. Remember,
a sale and purchase agreement is a legally
binding document and there’s no going
back once you have signed on the dotted
line. Buying a home is a big financial
decision, so it’s well worth taking the time
to ensure you’ve done your due diligence
and received the advice you need.
7. What will happen on
settlement day? Settlement day is when
the property transfer goes ahead, and
the house becomes yours. This day is the
culmination of a lot of hard work and stress,
but before you pop the champagne, several
things need to happen in sequence between
your lawyer, the seller’s lawyer, and your
bank or lender. This can take time, so it’s a
good idea not to be sitting outside the home
at 9am with a moving truck. You can find a
helpful settlement checklist on settled.govt.
nz, the independent government website
for buyers and sellers.
If you’re not sure where to find a
lawyer, you can ask family or friends for
recommendations or check out www.
propertylawyers.org.nz (part of the New
Zealand Law Society) to find one in your
area.
For independent guidance and
information on buying or selling, check
out settled.govt.nz.

Presenting your home for sale?
The presentation of your home
doesn’t mean spending thousands
on an upgrade either! So why
wouldn’t you want to do everything
possible to make it appealing to
prospective purchasers?
Street appeal
The exterior of your home is the first
thing buyers will see, so the property
needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take
a look at your place from the street and
see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the
lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add
some garden lights and place a nice pot or
plant by the front door. Ensure the house
exterior is cleaned or freshened with new
paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths
and fences, put stylish new numbers on
the house and perhaps buy a funky new
letter box!
Make an entrance
Even if your entrance or hallway is
small, you can still give it some wow! A
large mirror adds light and makes an
entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers,
candles or a stylish piece of art create an
inviting first impression. Ensure floors are
clean whether timber, tiles or carpet.
Create space
Light, air and space are three key
factors in presenting a home to the
best advantage. Open up curtains
and windows and use lamps and light
fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange
furniture to maximise space and remove
items that make the room appear
cramped.
Fresh feel
Freshen rooms with new paint if
necessary, but aim for neutral tones which
are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash
of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or
a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or
bedspread and always make the bed!
Clear out clutter
Storage space sells but clutter
complicates! Clean out your cupboards,
shelves and garage, and get rid of
unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect
wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up
and reduce the number of photos, books,
nicknacks on display – they distract
buyers, too!
Beautify the bathroom
Replace or resurface fittings if necessary,
but otherwise you can simply beautify
your bathroom with thorough and
fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels,
a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush,
green plants. Invest in a new shower
curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a
sleek, modern towel rail.
Clean clean clean
Cleaning is a mandatory part of
selling your home: have carpets, rugs
and upholstery commercially cleaned
and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to
look like new, polish glass and furniture,
wash down all surfaces and fittings in
the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light
fittings, wash windows inside and out,
deodorise your home to eliminate any
odours from pets, cooking or smoke.
Outdoor spaces
Even a small patio, deck or terrace
can be enhanced with a café table and
chairs. Add some colourful accessories –
placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants,
and there you have an extra living area.
If space is not limited, hang a hammock,
string some outdoor lights, position a
garden sculpture or create a water feature
that buyers will love.
Hire a handyman
Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked
tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or
appliances that don’t work are a turn-off
for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace
things yourself, then hire a handyman to
make sure everything in your home works
as it should.
Finish it first
Buyers want to see a finished home,
not one that’s still being fixed! So finish
everything before you list your home
for sale, then launch it onto the market
when it looks its absolute best – you have
nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Buying a lifestyle block
City life getting you down? Dreaming of
living in the country, where you ‘commute’
from the breakfast table to a barn or your
home office? It might look like an easy life but
buying a lifestyle property can be a complex
business.
While living in the country has much
to recommend it, you need to do more
preparation for buying a place there than
buying a pair of gumboots and comparing
the merits of ride-on mowers.
“We recommend comprehensive due
diligence when buying any kind of property,
but rural ones come with a whole extra set of
things to think about compared to buying a
straightforward stand-alone home in town,”
says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of
the Real Estate Authority (REA).
Lampen-Smith says that while it’s tempting
to focus on the dream wish list for your
bucolic bolt-hole, but you should also
compile a list of issues to be aware of (and
people who can help you learn about them).
“If the property you like is being sold by a
licensed real estate agent, remember that you
can ask them anything you like about it,” he
says.
“Rural real estate agents have special skills
in this area and they’ll be able to help you
figure out what information you need to
make a well-informed decision. It’s also a
good idea to get your lawyer onboard early to
check titles, consents and other information
that you gather in the process.”
It might feel like you’re getting away from
it all when moving out of town, but rural
developments can be subject to rules that
restrict what you can do. Lampen-Smith
recommends getting your lawyer to check if
there are any covenants on the property that
might have an impact on a future business
you may run there, or any planned building
projects. You don’t want to invest in an
alpaca herd for your new dream property
only to find that it’s not allowed to carry any
livestock. Similarly, it would be tough to
discover that your subdivision plans are not
permitted by council rules.
Be aware that there may be tax implications
if you’re planning to use the property as a
business, Lampen-Smith says.
“In general, if it is currently being used for
a business that is tax-registered – whether
that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock
or running a B&B – then the seller will
probably add GST to the price. This means
you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you are
also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer or
accountant to check if the house or any other
buildings on the property are GST-exempt.
They will also be able to advise you on
whether you need to be GST-registered.”
A good place to start when trying to figure
out what tax obligations might attach to your
purchase of the property is Inland Revenue’s
property tax decision tree (available at
http://www.ird.govt.nz/property/propertyterms-and-tools/property-decision-tree/),
but keep in mind that it is always best to
seek professional advice before you make a
decision.
Rural properties (like all properties) can
also have easements on the title that relate to
access, water or power. Lampen-Smith says
you should ask your lawyer to check the title
and work out what the easements are, and
how they will have an impact on your rights
and responsibilities as an owner.
“For example, if the title allows a neighbour
access to a piece of their land through your
property, do you have any right to limit the
type and frequency of that access if you buy
it?”
Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’
easements operating; the incumbent owners
may have an informal arrangement with their
neighbours, but this may not remain when
the property passes into new ownership.
Things that we take for granted when living
in urban environments, like water, sewage
and access, can require more involvement in
rural areas. Check the water sources for the
property – if it has its own bore, are there
limits on the amount of water you can draw
from it? What is the process for ensuring it is
safe to drink? What happens to wastewater
and sewage? Are you prepared for life with
a septic tank? Will the current owner ensure
the tank is empty as a condition of sale?
When it comes to access, will you share
a private road or right of way with other
properties? What will be your responsibilities
and potential costs for maintaining it? Don’t
forget that your neighbours may be involved
in unglamorous activities at ungodly hours –
check the zoning rules for nearby properties
if you’re worried about noise, smells or traffic.
You might think it’s lovely to have stock
grazing out the window, but are you ready for
a milk tanker driving past every morning? Be
aware that the LIM will not always alert you
to any pending or current NZTA decisions
regarding local highway linkages that often
divert traffic away from urban centres in
favour of immediate rural areas on the town
boundary. Check with NZTA if you think
your property could be affected by road
changes.
“Like all property purchases, buying a place
in the country requires careful, objective
consideration,” Lampen-Smith says.
“There are lots of great things about living
on the land, but it’s best to be realistic about
it. You don’t want to be like the former townie
I met a few weeks ago, who mournfully told
me that their lifestyle block had become “a
life sentence”. Do your homework and you’re
far more likely to live happily ever after in
rural bliss.”

New Neighbourhood offers
coMMUNIty & LIfestyLe close to the city
An attractive new neighbourhood
on the outskirts of Christchurch
being developed by reputable
building company Generation Homes
is creating plenty of interest among
new-home buyers.
Comprising a limited number of
sites, the Copper Ridge subdivision
on Halswell Junction Road offers the
opportunity to live in an exclusive
residential area conveniently close
to Christchurch city. New residents
can enjoy all the retail and service
amenities of Halswell as well as
historic parks and trails for recreational
enjoyment near by.
Copper Ridge is ideal for people at all
stages of life, including young families,
with the new Knights Stream Primary
School next door, and a bike track,
skate park and sports field across the
road. In fact, the aim of Generation
Homes is to build communities,
not just new builds, company
spokesperson Nadja Beker says.
We aim to create
security for families, fun
for the kids to play outside
with their neighbours and
friends, and for people to
know each other and look
out for each other.
The subdivision lots are being released
in six stages. Stages one and two
were released earlier this year with
introductory pricing and there are
a small number of lots left in these
stages, Nadja says.
“Based on the success of stages one
and two, stage three release has just
been brought forward, and includes
nine lots.”
The lot sizes range from 250sqm
duplex lots up to large 715sqm lots,
with the majority being 500sqm to
650sqm. Prices for the house and
land packages start at $459,000,
with the majority being priced
between $550,000 and $700,000.
“The subdivision covenants will
ensure a high-quality environment
and building designs throughout the
development.” Nadja says.
Generation Homes is an established,
national home builder with
considerable experience in the
Christchurch market, and specialising
in providing home and land packages
in the most desirable locations.
“We develop architecturally designed
house plans for each of our sites, and
can change existing plans or develop
new plans to suit individual clients’
requirements. “The Generation Homes
team works in partnership with each
of their clients to deliver their dream
home and to make the building
process as easy and stress free as
possible.” Nadja says.
“One of the key advantages for clients
working with Generation Homes is
that we provide people certainty
by offering fully fixed prices and a
guaranteed move-in date.”
Generation Homes also has the
services of interior designer Mark
Evans of Indigo Designers to call on.
Mark undertakes a complete colour
consultation with every client, ensuring
the décor of their new home matches
their personality and lifestyle.

Property Market Update
with Matson & Allan Real Estate
Rolleston Property
Development
Unstoppable
Torlesse Estate
Not many local businesses are as old as
Selwyn real estate firm Matson and Allan,
which dates back to the 1800s. With offices
in Rolleston, Leeston and Darfield, its
team is well placed to observe property
trends.
Owner, Chris Flanagan says Rolleston’s
massive expansion seems unstoppable.
Lincoln and Prebbleton have also seen
considerable growth with smaller
developments in West Melton, Leeston,
Darfield, Kirwee and Southbridge.
Chris says Rolleston is a supply and
demand situation with large tracts of land
still to be developed. With the current
slight oversupply, buyers are taking time
to decide so a property’s selling price
needs to be right. As supply eases back, the
market should correct itself.
Buyers from Christchurch are
attracted by Selwyn’s country setting
and the prospect of a brand new home
for the price of an older one in town.
Increased amenities, industrial growth,
The Warehouse, other larger businesses,
and the future motorway make this area
attractive. Easier, quicker access to the city
may also lift house values, long-term.
Some Rolleston families are upsizing
as they grow, however Chris sees little
downsizing with Rolleston’s make-up
mainly middle-aged and young families.
In contrast, West Melton has been a town
where people want space for a business,
their toys, or the children to play.
Matson and Allan are agents for
Branthwaite (Rolleston) where the bulk
of the 300 sections have sold in just 12
months, and the smaller newer Bellfield
subdivision in Southbridge, consisting of
55 affordable sections, which are selling
steadily.
Torlesse Estate just a kilometre from
Darfield is to be released in stages. Land
sizes range from 11 one hectare blocks
to 170 sections of 1,000-5,000sqms and a
few smaller sections in a rural setting with
green space and walkways to town.
Chris says people weigh up the saving
on land against the cost of travel and when
petrol prices rise, the market tends to slow.
“The further out you go, there tends
to be fewer buyers so the price must
be attractive to account for a longer
commute,” reminds Chris.
Canterbury has such a great farming
reputation and is a popular place to farm
because of its versatility and productive
soils so prices reflect this.
“The last two dairy farms I sold achieved
the highest price per hectare for dairy
farm sales in New Zealand,” says Chris.
“We are finding many farmers are
prepared to pay more to be closer to
amenities, airports, good schooling and
city life,” explains Chris.
Lifestyle block sales are steady in
Selwyn. Buyers fall away once the price is
over $1million. Chris says GST can also
be a key as people who purchased their
blocks 15-20 years ago claimed the GST so
must pay the GST when selling, pushing
the price up. GST registration is now
discouraged for non-productive lifestyle
blocks.
Matson and Allan is an independently
owned and locally operated business with
agents who live and work locally and sell
real estate 100% of their time, they form
relationships with their communities,
emphasise customer service and followup.

Protecting your family’s privacy and
security when holding an open home
When selling a property, many people
are uncomfortable with the idea of
strangers looking through their house
when they’re not present. However,
holding an open home is often the best
way to show off the place to potential
buyers.
Welcoming house hunters (and let’s
be honest, a few nosy neighbours) to a
property does come with privacy and
security risks that vendors should be
aware of – and plan for.
“It’s natural for sellers to have concerns
about privacy and security – after all,
you’re inviting complete strangers into
your family’s home,” says Real Estate
Authority (REA) Chief Executive Kevin
Lampen-Smith.
Lampen-Smith suggests sellers prepare
by taking note of any items of sentimental
or monetary value that should be removed
from the property.
“Think about items that could easily be
slipped into a pocket or handbag, such as
jewellery, silverware, small electronics or
even the prescription medication stored
in your bathroom cabinet. Tucking them
away in your sock drawer or under your
bed won’t do the trick,” Lampen-Smith
says.
Something that’s often overlooked by
sellers opening their house to potential
buyers is the risk of identity theft. It might
sound far-fetched, but sellers who leave
important documents like passports,
bank statements or credit card receipts
lying around are leaving themselves
vulnerable. Lampen-Smith recommends
these sorts of documents be tidied away
and stored somewhere secure.
Next, do a digital sweep of the property.
The family PC or office desktop should
be switched off and password protected.
USB sticks or hard drives that are loaded
with personal information should also be
stored securely.
“While this might sound like plain
old common sense to many, I’ve heard
of a seller leaving a post-it note with the
house alarm code right next to the alarm,
for anyone to come back and deactivate
later,” Lampen-Smith recalls.
Sellers should talk to their real estate
agent or salesperson about how the actual
open home will be conducted.
“Ask if there will be a sign-in register,
where visitors provide their name and
contact information when they arrive at
the showing. This is a helpful tool for the
agent when it comes to following up with
potential buyers, and, in the case that
something is damaged or stolen during
the open home, the information can be
passed onto police,” Lampen-Smith says.
The agent is required to be present at
the viewing and shouldn’t leave potential
buyers alone at the property. Ideally,
the agent should accompany visitors as
they tour the house, but this isn’t always
possible if the showing gets busy. Sellers
could ask that a second person from the
real estate agency be on-site during the
open home, to greet visitors at the door,
ask them to sign in and wait until the
agent is free to show them through.
Sellers who still feel uneasy about
having an open home could ask the agent
to show the property ‘by appointment
only’ to potential buyers.
“There’s no law saying you must have
an open home. Remember, it’s your
house and ultimately you don’t have to do
anything you’re uncomfortable with,” says
Lampen-Smith.
