Residents’
groups trade
insults over
noise levels
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding issue lies with Ms Harnett-
Kikstra.
“We have never had a
complaint from the Templeton
community in ages . . . other
than (Ms Harnett-
Kikstra) asking
questions, there
have been no other
complaints at all,” he
said.
Ms Harnett-Kikstra
said the residents’
association is a “bunch
of petrol heads.”
THE LEADERS of two
residents’ associations have
exchanged insults over whether
Ruapuna Speedway is
noisy.
Templeton
Residents’ Association
chairman Garry
Kilday and Yaldhurst
Rural Residents’
Association
chairwoman Sara
Harnett-Kikstra are
in a row over whether
there are noise issues
at the track.
Ms Harnett-Kikstra
made an unsuccessful
noise complaint after
a burnout pad event at
Ruapuna last month.
An investigation
found noise levels
were not breached.
Mr Kilday said
there have not been
any recent problems
between Templeton
residents and Ruapuna – the

Mr Kilday hit back
saying Ms Harnett-
Kikstra is a “whinger”
and the Templeton
association is not a
bunch of petrol heads.
“I am the only one
that goes (to Ruapuna)
so how can it be a
bunch?” He questioned
why Ms Harnett-
Kikstra is complaining
about noise at Ruapuna
when she doesn’t live in
Templeton.

“A BUNCH of petrol heads.”
That’s the inflammatory comment fuelling
a row between the Templeton and
Yaldhurst residents’ associations (see page
1). The battleground is Ruapuna Speedway.
The dispute: Noise.
Templeton chairman Garry Kilday says as far as his association
is concerned, noise hasn’t been an issue for sometime.
Yaldhurst chairwoman Sara Harnett-Kikstra disagrees. She
filed a complaint recently about the noise at a burn out pad
event. An investigation found noise levels were not breached.
Harnett-Kikstra says the Templeton association is a “bunch of
petrol heads”. Kilday says she is a “whinger”.
“I am the only one that goes (to Ruapuna) so how can it be a
bunch?” he said.
Where will it all end?

Rural schools call
for 40km/h enforceable speed limit
2019
ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019

• By Anan Zaki
RURAL SCHOOLS in the
district want to change an
advisory speed limit and replace
it with a punishable limit.
It comes as the district council
ended consultation on its speed
limit review on Friday.
Currently 10 schools across
the district advisory yellow signs
which say: “School Zone 40
km/h, slow down when children
present.”
One of the questions asked in
the consultation – which drew 46
responses – is whether all schools
should have a 40 km/h speed
limit outside of them.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency said police cannot ticket
drivers for travelling over the
limit on the advisory speed sign.
They have been used in the
district since 2014.
Three schools told the Selwyn
Times that the advisory signs do
not work.
Hororata School principal
Marty Gameson said the advisory
sign outside the school has
been unsuccessful.
“I think it needs to be a road
speed sign, not a recommended
speed. For us, you cannot tell if
children are present, because we
are off site from the road [Bealey
Rd],” Mr Gameson said.
“We also start at 8.45am and
finish at 2.45pm so those people
that think that ‘by 3pm I’ll watch
out for the kids’ – well our kids
are gone by 3pm.”
An NZTA spokeswoman said
speed signs that can be enforced
by police must have a red circle
around the speed.

“Police may still charge a driver
with dangerous driving if their
behaviour endangers children [in
a school zone with an advisory
sign].”
The principals of Glentunnel
School and Rolleston Christian
School also said the advisory
signs have not worked.
Glentunnel principal Dion
Stechmann said he was not aware
that the existing advisory signs
ENFORCE:

School on

limit.
were non-enforceable.
Mr Stechmann said the advisory
school zone speeds are not
respected by drivers that travel
past the school.
“The cars don’t slow down to
40 km/h. I see the traffic go past
my office window and they slow
down to 60 km/h maybe, but not
40km/h,” he said.
Rolleston Christian School
principal Liz Horn also believed
ROLLESTON LAW
drivers do not respect the advisory
speed.
“I think a 40 km/h would be
less confusing. People definitely
go past here faster than the advised
40 km/h speed,” Miss Horn
said.
“It’s also confusing about when
children are on site, because
people who don’t have children
may not know when people are
on site or off site because for us
we have before and after school
care.”
Broadfield School did not want
to comment as it was consulting
with the district council about
the speed limits outside the
school. Greendale School also did
not want to comment.
Principals from other schools
with the advisory signs were not
available for comment .
A public hearing on the
reduced speed limits which
recently went to consultation is
expected to be held before the
middle of the year.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Doyle leaves Weedons residents’ group
Plans to focus
on dog
show judging
• By Anan Zaki
NEARLY THREE decades
of fighting for the Weedons
community has come to an end
for Gary Doyle.
The affable 79-year-old has
just resigned as secretary of the
Weedons Residents’ Association.
“It feels a bit strange,” he said.
Mr Doyle has been secretary
for the past six years, and before
that he was a district councillor,
serving the Weedons community
from 1995 to 2010.
But his commitment to the
community started much earlier
– he was a policeman from 1964
1995.
“”The committee was formed
[in 1996] to fight a mushroom
factory, which was intended to be
built behind the Weedons School.
The Weedons people objected
to it and to fight it formed a
committee,” Mr Doyle said.
The residents won their battle
against the factory, he said.
Since then, there had been many
battles.
Mr Doyle’s resignation comes
along with another change in
the residents’ association make
up. Chairman John McKim also
stepped down from his role of six
years.
Mr Doyle said he will now
focus on judging dog shows,
something he has done nationally
and internationally since 1976.
“I’ve been all around the world
judging dogs. I’ve been to the
United States, Mexico, all around
the Pacific, Asia, South Africa
and even Pakistan,” Mr Doyle
said. “John [McKim] wants to
finish [building] his boat and
go sailing. And I’m knocking
on 80-years-old – I’ll carry on
judging dogs.”
A lot of the association’s battles

involved the district council. But
one of its biggest fights is against
the proposed Fulton Hogan
quarry near Weedons, which has
applied for resource consent.
“Particularly to do with road
works and speeds. Also [battles
with] the likes of the Richmond
Fellowship, which was bringing
in and buying houses for various
types of offenders which were not
acceptable for the general public,”
Mr Doyle said.
At last week’s full district
council meeting, councillor Mark
Alexander paid tribute to Mr
McKim and Mr Doyle.
“On behalf of council, I thank
them for their efforts on behalf of
their area and their residents,” Cr
Alexander said. “While we may
not always agree with what they
have come to talk to us about,
they’ve always come with passion
for their community.”
The change of guard at the
association marked the “end of
era” Cr Alexander said.
Said Mr Doyle: “Fortunately
we have a very good relationship
with council. They are well aware
that if the association disagrees,
they’ll be very vocal about it.”
He looked back on his days in
the association with pride.
“Fighting to solve a lot of
problems, which on the big scale
of things would be regarded as
minor but locally it would be
regarded as major,” Mr Doyle
said. “Speed limits, traffic control
and intersections – that type of
thing. Also keeping a close eye on
council expenditure.”
A new chairman and secretary
will be announced in the coming
weeks.
“I dream of a Pacific where this terrible disease has
been eradicated and can no longer cause fear, stigma
and discrimination in families and communities.”
Lorena and three of her children were diagnosed with leprosy.
Lorena says “Although our leprosy could be cured, we knew that
sometimes there can be serious effects from the disease, like
disabilities. I was terrified that more of my children would get sick.
But then the Pacific Leprosy Foundation started its new programme
which gives medicine to the rest of the family so that they are
much less likely to get leprosy. It was wonderful to have that
reassurance! Now I want the rest of the countries in the Pacific
to be able to take part in this programme, but I know that costs a lot
of money.”
Your gift of $35 will provide preventative
treatment for one household contact of a
leprosy patient.
A gift of $420 enables the treatment of an
average household in Kiribati, Samoa or the
Solomon Islands.

Last year, five
complaints were made
from Templeton.
Mr McCallum said in
a report to the Halswell-

there was a high level

said while noise at
Ruapuna has gotten better,
it had no option but to get

STOLEN: Five bonsai plants, some of which were more than 30-years-old, were
stolen from Texture Group nursery in Prebbleton last week.
‘Extremely rare’
See instore for details.
plants stolen
• By Anan Zaki
A PREBBLETON nursery
has been stripped of up to
$10,000 worth of plants
after a break in.
Texture Group owner
Hamish Prebble said
more than 40 plants were
stolen after the nursery’s
padlocked gate on Springs
Rd was broken into last
Wednesday.
Some of the stolen plants
were “extremely rare and
recognisable” and were not
for sale.
Mr Prebble believed it
was a targeted break in and
was alerted to the incident
after the nursery’s burglar
alarm went off at about
12.20am.
The stolen items included
five mature bonsai,
which were more than
30-years-old, a rare
wollemi pine – one of less
than 100 in the country – a
brahea palm, a japanese
umbrella pine and about 30
to 40 other plants including
puka, nikau, gunnera and
clivia.
“You just can’t replace
these things,” Mr Prebble
said.
“Whoever did it knew
what they were looking for.
They weren’t labelled and
out of the way, you’d have
to know [recognise] them,”
he said.
Police are in the process
of reviewing CCTV
footage from neighbouring
businesses on Monday
to determine if there was
footage of the offenders.
Said Mr Prebble: “It’s the
first time [in 25 years of
business] that we’ve been
targeted. We’ve had plants
stolen before but it was
more opportunist.”
“If I saw [the stolen
plants] I would know it. It’s
quite one off, particularly
the bonsai’s, if you’ve been
growing them for more
than 20 years you’d get a
fairly good idea,” he said.

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
LIN2813
Grow a career
in organics
Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare
you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s
a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind
contemporary organic agri-food production.
Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural
scale really means.
Learn more at www.lincoln.ac.nz or call 0800 10 60 10.
Students
are eligible
for a fee waiver
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.
Warning: Don’t plant
on council berms
• By Anan Zaki
AN ARM wrestle between
a Prebbleton resident and
the district council has led
to warnings over planting
trees on berms.
Tony Gibson planted red
robins on the outside of his
fence on Birchlea Court
– which is
district council
property –
about a year
ago.
He did it to
try and dull the
traffic noise on
Birchs Rd.
But just before

In Brief
MOTORCYCLE CRASH
A man was moderately
injured after his
motorcycle crashed into
a ditch on Christchurch
Akaroa Rd near Tai Tapu
on Saturday about 9.30am.
The cause was not known.
. . . WARNING SIGNS
Electronic warning signs

the Christchurch Akaroa
Murray
Washington
Mr Gibson
arrived home
to find that
the red robins
were gone. A neighbour
informed him that the
plants were removed by the
district council.
District council assets
manager Murray Washington
told Selwyn Times that
residents are not allowed
to plant on berms without
council permission.
The council was also not
aware that Mr Gibson’s
plants belonged to him. The
hedge would have “overgrown”
and they had to be
removed, Mr Washington
said.
The district council
alleged that Mr Gibson
himself poisoned two trees
– a cherry and a maple tree
owned by the council.
“Council staff met with
Mr Gibson on site, and he
acknowledged
that he had poisoned
the trees.
The council does
not have any record
of Mr Gibson
previously raising
any concerns over
the trees,” Mr
Washington said.
Mr Gibson
strongly denied
poisoning the
council trees.
“That really
annoys me, they have got to
be careful about what they
say.”
Mr Gibson said he met
with a council reserves
worker after his red robins
were removed, but did
not meet with the council
about its two trees.
He had “no problem”
with the cherry and maple
tree the council owned and
said the trees were already
dying when he moved into
Rd by the New Zealand
Transport Agency to
improve safety, particularly
for visitors and tourists.
One sign will be installed
in Tai Tapu for motorists
driving towards Akaroa
and a second sign will be
installed in Duvachelle for
motorists driving towards

To plant trees on council
land, residents must submit
an application.
The district council said
“as a rule” it will only approve
plantings that involve
the whole or major part of
the street or areas that are
designed to have plants.
But the Mr Washington
said that in general, planting
outside properties on
a “one off” basis won’t be
approved.
Mr Gibson said he also
spoke to a council roading
engineer about improving
the seal on Birchs Rd before
Christmas.
He says council roading
engineers discussed
a potential compromise
to reduce road noise by
resealing a small section of
Birchs Rd near his house.
But Mr Gibson said that
was not good enough.
“They should do the
whole road. It’s the whole
road that’s too noisy. It’s
not the cars that are too
loud, it’s the tyre noise,” Mr
Gibson said.
The district council
should have improved the
seal on Birchs Rd when the
area became residential, he
said.

Debra Hasson
Hasson’s love of art, travel and politics
Springston’s Debra
Hasson has had a seat
at the district council
table since 1995. The
longest current serving
councillor talked to
Anan Zaki about her life
in and out of politics
Why did you enter local
politics?
I worked previously for
Waimairi District Council,
prior to it being amalgamated
into Christchurch in 1989,
when we went through a series
of amalgamations of councils.
During that time, myself and
my partner, Mike, purchased
a property in Springston. So
we moved from Christchurch
to Springston and our son was
born. And basically, I questioned
a rating process. So having
questioned something, I decided
that sure, if you’ve got a voice
and you’re criticising something,
you also need to be part of that
solution. That’s why I decided to
stand. To try and solve the issues
that I saw. And if the community
saw those issues as well, then
they would support me and
consequently they did and I was
elected.
Did you ever see yourself
being the longest serving
member at the council table?
Not really. I sort of found
a niche that I actually enjoy
being involved in public policy.
I actually enjoyed working
alongside communities and
volunteers within communities
and actually giving them a
voice in council. When I first
got elected to council we only
got paid an honorarium. At the
time, I’m thankful that I had a
supportive partner and we had
a five-year-old. The community
rallied around and after school
they actually looked after our
son while Mike was at work and I
was at council meetings. So it was
the support of the community
that actually helped me be at the
council table.
HOBBY: Long-serving Selwyn district councillor Debra Hasson is passionate about
collecting art.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
What are some of the biggest
changes you’ve seen in your
time as a councillor?
It took three females on
council to establish a community
committee within council. We
had the standard assets, standard
planning and standard corporate,
and community services were
normally run under corporate.
With the assistance of two other
female councillors, we managed
to separate it out in a stand-alone
unit. That’s been the best story.
I’m glad to say that from being a
lonely voice for the environment,
we now have environmental
responsibilities becoming
mainstream within local
government. It’s really pleasing
for someone like me and I’m still
a strong advocate for it.
What do you do outside of
council?
We as a family have always had
an interest in collecting antiques,
supporting local history and local
arts. We always went garage sale
hunting and we still sometimes
go.
We’re both members of
the North Canterbury Game
Shooters Club and have been
for the past 30 odd years. And
I also play a role in community
committees outside council. Just
because I know how hard it is to
support volunteers.
Has art always been a hobby
of yours?
I actually did art history at
Canterbury University as one of
my subjects. That came about
because I had the opportunity
to travel for five years on my OE
and I became interested in art.
Lately it’s just been that we
have some really good talented
local artists in Selwyn. I buy
art because I like it. I have a few
pieces that are really precious to
me. And they represent Selwyn
or our local community or the
environment.
At the moment, I’ve got
landscape [art], I’ve got political
art, I have a lot of native birds.
It varies. I’ve got two pieces of
Henry Turner. He’s a young,
talented artist from West Melton,
and he’s really brilliant. I’ve got
three pieces of Henry’s.
What did you do at the
Waimairi District Council?
I was actually a dog
control officer. Then with the
amalgamation I went across to
the Christchurch City Council
and was involved in dog policy in
the environmental unit. Then I
left and moved out to Selwyn.
Tell me about your family?
My partner of 38 years is Mike
and we have a son, Drew, he is
now independent at 29-years-old,
with a partner and a mortgage
living in Selwyn. It’s nice for him
to come home for a visit.
How did you and Mike meet?
Through mutual friends
as flatmates while I was at
Canterbury University. Just
through mutual friends from the
flats we were in. And Mike now
works at Landcare Research.
You mentioned you travelled
for five years, where did you go?
I left New Zealand when I
was 18. I had my 19th birthday
in Acapulco, Mexico. Then
travelled across to Portugal,
travelled around Europe and
finally ended up in London.
Then from London, I used it as
a base and travelled through to
Canada and around Maine and
Vermont in the United States.
Then I spent some time in Israel
and then finally came back
and landed in Christchurch.
I lasted three weeks and went
to Australia. I spent a year in
Australia and I decided I had to
settle down so came back and
went to Canterbury University
and did a Bachelor of Science in
zoology. I’m still very fortunate
that we can travel. Because we
are fortunate in being able to do
this travel, for the past 20 years
we have taken the opportunity
support, through World Vision,
children in Cambodia. We
actually support one currently
in India. It’s just giving back that
social responsibility because
we’re so fortunate in New
Zealand and you don’t see it until
you travel overseas.

Environment Canterbury
ANNUAL PLAN 2019-20
E19/7226
Environment Canterbury is considering its 2019-20
Annual Plan.
While the plan largely aligns with the most recent
Long-Term Plan, small changes to our fees and charges
policy and our revenue and financing policy are being
considered. Increased funding of public transport to
match funding from NZTA and increased funding in water
management, pest control and biodiversity are also being
considered, as well as a reduction in air quality funding.
These will impact on some ratepayers, depending on
their location, when the 2019-20 Regional Council
rate is confirmed.

What are your favourite
things about Selwyn?
Just recently, it’s the positive
comments coming back that we
are one of the highest performing
councils in managing growth in
New Zealand.
And what’s great about living
here?
The open space. We’re
fortunate we have been able to
purchase where we are when we
moved from Christchurch. It
was very rural but it was always
a dream of Mike’s to own a
small farm. And we had the
opportunity to purchase it. We
had to do a lot of work to break
in the land to farm it. And our
neighbours have been really
stable in the locality that we
live in and they’re great friends.
That’s what helps make the place
100%
Capital gain
to the resident
enjoyable to live in, the friends
that you make. Drew going to a
rural school like Springston, he’s
still really good friends with the
kids he went to school with and
we’re still good friends with the
parents. That social community
that we’re very fortunate to have
in Selwyn. I have to question
it now because we are growing
in our main centres, but I am
positive about the fact that people
can connect.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Greymouth on
the West Coast. I’ve got relatives
back there. My parents moved to
Oxford when they retired. Apart
from visiting relations I really
haven’t been back there.
Do you miss the West Coast
or do you prefer the drier
weather in Selwyn?
The scenery and everything
on the Coast is really nice. But
I prefer the lifestyle that I’ve got
now.
What advice do you have for
younger people who might want
to stand for council one day?
Being a younger person
standing for council, you have to
have that support base out there.
You don’t do it for the money.
You do it to put your energy or
your views or your time back into
the community.
The way you get paid is not
a lot, and it’s a lot of time. The
amount of time I would now
spend at council compared
to when I was first elected
is ten-fold, because of the
responsibilities we now have
under a lot of legislative acts and
what’s being passed through
from central government to local
government.

BEFORE WE get into this, I
need to say, still no luck on
finding my mouse. That bad boy
is probably long gone.
I’m beginning to dread future
hide and seek games, will I
disappear too?
However, over the last week
Vittoria has started holding
some things closer, and it’s very
cute.
She gets her favourite soft
toys, like her Dragon, wraps
her wee arms around them
and gives them a big, smiling,
moving side-to-side cuddle.
Dragon even gets a couple of
kisses on his cheek sometimes.
Very, very cute.
She even gave someone else’s
teddy a big cuddle at Baby
Times. I can’t wait to see her
give her friends big hugs too.
Last week started out
productively. Over the weekend,
Laura and I cleaned the whole
house (hence the mouse update)
with a focus on Vittoria’s room.
Her room has seen a lot of use
for storage, including her cot.
We’ve been co-sleeping with
the wee darling for a while now.
She got sick last year which
ended a joyous run of full nights
of sleep until we gave in and let
her into the big bed.
VITTORIA
& Matt
Long road ahead
getting back to cot
Thing is, getting her back into
sleeping in her own bed is not
going to be easy.
In bed with one of us, she
can roll over, touch us and get
reassured straight away that
she’s safe and with her parents.
In the cot, not so much.
It really highlights how much
like a little prison those things
are when you see your daughter
standing there, holding the bars
and crying like the world just
ended.
And if you’re used to having
your parents next to you when
you settle back to sleep, dad just
holding your hand is not going
to cut it.
So we’ve got a long road ahead
to get her back to a place where
she feels safe in her cot and
happy to sleep there all night.
A lot of that road will involve
very little sleep too.
To add to the difficulty, this
week Vittoria and I have got
some sort of cold. It may be
unfair, but I’m pretty sure I
got it off her since we spend so
much time in close proximity.

Your Local Views
West Melton resident
Peter Fry writes about the
proposed skate park in the
town, which the Selwyn
Times covered last month
I write in support of Bruce
Russell’s sensible statement that
the logical and correct placement
of a possible skate park in West
Melton is adjacent to the splendid
new community centre and within
existing and planned sporting
and recreational services.
The safety of users of recreational
facilities is a complex issue
requiring constant monitoring
– surveillance cameras have been
found to be essential – immediate
access to first aid not just when
the medical centre is open, ongoing
supervision and safe access to
toilets are major considerations.
Country wide planners recognise
these issues and it has not
been possible to find an example
of a stand alone skate park established
anywhere within a quiet
residential neighbourhood.
Using the land allocated within
a “family area” with established
facilities is fully logical, is the
most economic use of the council’s
(ratepayers’) funds and in
the broadest sense, is the safest
option.
However, this issue has served
as a catalyst to address and to
halt the years of neglect of Retford
Common. Open spaces are
increasingly scarce treasures intended
for the use of all members
of the community and as such
deserve appropriate maintenance
and care. At present trees are dying
on the common, the installed
water hydrants are unused, the
unsuitable and unsightly limestone
chip paths are scattered and
thin and overgrown with weeds,
the grass is roughly cut at irregular
intervals and the attractive
gazebos require maintenance.
Retford Common was intended
to be a truly beautiful, much used
space and a major asset to the
entire West Melton community.
To this end it is intended that the
Friends of Retford Common will
work with district council planners
to find solutions to restore
and enhance this important open
space and to provide an aesthetically
pleasing environment that
is useful to members of the community,
of all ages, throughout
the year.

Hot air balloons return
HOT AIR balloons are set to
return to Hororata.
The balloons will be part of the
Hororata Night Glow, which will
be held in May.
Event organiser, the Hororata
Community Trust said the inaugural
Night Glow last year
captured people’s imaginations.
“Hot air balloons hold a
certain magic and the Hororata
Community Trust is very excited
to be bringing the Night Glow
back for a second year. The
festival last year was amazing,
not only for its entertainment
value but it also benefited our
community in many ways,” said
Hororata Community Trust
executive officer Cindy Driscoll.
The event received recognition
by winning the 2018 Selwyn
Tourism award.
“The balloons are undoubtedly
the main attraction of the festival
but we have new surprises in
the pipeline which will see the
Hororata Night Glow build on
what we did last year, details of
these will be released soon,” Mrs
Driscoll said.
Recently applications for stall
holders opened. Businesses and
community groups have until
March 25 to apply.
The community trust committee
is also seeking expressions
of interest from performers
and bands interested in being
involved.
The Hororata Night Glow will
be held Saturday May 18 at the
Hororata Domain, 3-8.30pm
Postponement date is Sunday
May 19.
Discounted tickets will be sold
online from April 1.

Backyard Critters
Pollinator still facing mighty threat
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in

• By Anan Zaki
THE FUTURE of a riverside
community is at risk due to
slow planning, residents say.
Plans for a new wastewater
consent at Selwyn Huts on the
banks of the Selwyn River are
not under way.
Homeowner and residents
representative Graham Evans
spoke at the full district
council meeting last week.
“I’m very disappointed to
against invaders, such as
wasps, ability to be managed
and transported, ability to
work in colder conditions and
higher longevity of workers
and queens.
Workers are known to live
as long as 152 days. However,
there is a global colony decline
around the world. This has
been attributed to a number
of factors, including colony
collapse disease, habitat loss,
be standing here today,” said
Mr Evans, who is a third
generation Selwyn Huts
holiday home owner.
Before 2011, the community
was governed by an elected
board or committee, separate
to the district council. But in
2011, the district council took
over full governance of the
Selwyn Huts.
“We are aware that the
consent for sewer and water
waste is to run out in June
pesticides and varroa mites.
The mites, which arrived in
New Zealand in 2000, can be
managed easily in hives but
it is unknown how well feral
populations have fared – there
may well be some valuable
varroa-resistant populations
2020,” Mr Evans said.
An expired consent could
force residents out of the
community, he said. There are
about 100 permanent residents
in Selwyn Huts, who live on
land leased from the council.
District council chief
executive David Ward said he
was confident action would
be taken before the existing
consent expired in June next
year. He said council staff
are currently in discussion
out there. The apiculture
industry is worth $5 billion to
New Zealand’s economy.
This is why the Ministry for
Primary Industries’ border
security is so important to
keep new bee diseases from
entering our country.
Residents concerned about future of Selwyn Huts
with the Department of
Conservation, Environment
Canterbury, homeowners and
Ngai Tahu about a new waste
water consent. “I’ve got total
confidence in staff that are
leading the discussions,” Mr
Ward said.
Mr Evans says he is still
worried the council may have
left things too late. “If we don’t
have consent, we won’t have
any system to take our waste
water away,” he said.

More Selwyn residents than ever before now have organic bins and existing residents are using their
organic bins a lot more than this time last year, resulting in a decrease in waste going to landfill.
The district is seeing strong growth in organic waste tonnes, with nearly 1200 tonnes or 22% more
organic waste received than at this time last year while total waste to landfill is tracking towards a
4% decrease on a per capita basis.
Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says he’s very pleased with the reduction and wants
to continue to encourage less waste going to landfill, by greater use of recycling and organic bins.
“We’ve got a number of waste minimisation projects in the pipeline. We’ll be looking to expand
access to recycling services for off-route properties, expanding the range of materials accepted at
community recycling days, and also a number of improvements at the Pines Resource Recovery
Park,” he says.
There are also Council-supported workshops coming up in mid-March at the Rolleston
Community Centre focusing on waste-free parenting and how to minimise food waste when
cooking. Keep an eye on Council Call and Council Facebook for details on these.

A new playground climbing structure being imported from Germany is expected to be installed at Levi
Park, Rolleston, in late May this year.
The new playground, suitable for children four years and over, replaces the existing playground which
had experienced drainage and slumping issues which resulted in the playground area becoming heavily
water logged. A geotechnical engineer has advised Council that this issue is isolated to the playground
area and does not affect any nearby residential properties.
Drainage works began in November last year and are expected to be completed at the end of this
week.
Council Property and Commercial Manager Douglas Marshall says a strip drain will be installed across
the opening to the tennis courts to improve future site drainage.
“Excavations to three metres have now shown that if the existing structure was to remain on site,
further settlement or slumping of the playground structure would occur,” Mr Marshall says.
“The new playground equipment will be more suitable for the remediated site and I’m pleased that
we’re able to salvage the old equipment and place it in another area for more children to enjoy. Thank
you to nearby residents for their patience and support as we make Levi Park a safe playground for the
community.”
The existing see-saw will remain on the Levi Park playground site. A new set of swings will be installed
with a standard swing seat and a fully enclosed toddler swing seat.
The Council is currently looking at an alternative site to relocate the existing playground and basket
swing to a new site in Rolleston. This will be confirmed soon.
Levi Park Playground is likely to be re-opened in June.

Late night Lyttelton Tunnel closures
From Sunday 24 February, you’ll need to plan your
travel around late night tunnel closures.
These are essential to both install and test a new fire protection
system inside the tunnel.
Work on this $28.7 million project is expected to be completed
by April/May 2019.
Traffic lane closures are timed for late night/early morning
on the lightest tunnel traffic days of the week, that is Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday.
In conjunction with the late night tunnel closures, we are
carrying out maintenance on SH74 (Tunnel Road) to ensure
fewer nights of disruption for motorists and residents. Work
includes replacing some guardrails and road resurfacing work
between Port Hills and Horotane Valley overpasses as well.
Lyttelton-bound traffic into the tunnel for the 10-minute openings
will be unaffected. Traffic leaving the tunnel towards Christchurch
will have to exit onto SH76 Port Hills Road.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
• Real-time traffic information for the Lyttelton Tunnel area is
available at www.tfc.govt.nz
• A schedule of tunnel traffic lane closures can be found at

Teenagers and Wellbeing
Being a teenager is really hard. The teenage
brain is undergoing a major transformation
and during these years our young people can
really struggle. They need our help (even if they
say they don’t) and we need to give them clear
expectations whilst also teaching them tools to
help them flourish both academically and with
their own well being.
How does all of this look at
Rolleston College?
The Rolleston Spirit
Girls Hui about well-being
Why Wellbeing?
As a society we place great emphasis on being
active, feeling fit and eating well and this also
applies to keeping our mind fit and well. Mental
fitness is just as important as physical fitness and
the two are usually linked. If we are feeling fit, we
tend to eat well and therefore feel good on the
inside. We begin to notice how we are feeling and
can achieve our goals and connect with others
in a positive way. The positive emotions that are
associated with wellbeing give us strength in all
areas of our life and give us the skills to deal with
issues when they crop up.
What is Wellbeing?
Through our work with Lucy Hone, she uses the
definition from Felicia Huppert & Timothy So,
from Cambridge University who define wellbeing
as “feeling good and functioning well”.
Wellbeing is linked to happiness and builds
resilience to get through the tough times and
enables us to flourish.

Team behind the design of the new
Rolleston Spirit poster
Rolleston College is one of many New Zealand
schools to implement the Ministry of Education
Positive Behaviour for Learner School Wide
Framework. At our school this framework has
been adapted to work within the context of our
school and our learners. The purpose of Positive
Behaviour for Learning-School Wide (referred
to as Ready to Learn at Rolleston College) is to
ensure the Rolleston Spirit is flourishing within
our school. The staff have a strong belief that
learners need to be Ready to Learn and Ready
to Flourish. If a learner performs poorly in a
learning task we teach them what steps to take
next, if they struggle at a particular sports skill,
we teach them how to improve, if they can not
play a musical instrument we teach them how to
play, yet traditionally, if they behave differently
to what we expect… we punish them. PB4L aims
to use teaching behaviour as a tool for improving
behaviour.
Ready to Flourish
We already know that in education one size does
not fit all so we promote learners having access to
a wide range of wellbeing resources that we call
our ‘Hauora Kete’. The contents in the Kete are
taught to learners and staff in various ways across
our learning programme. Some of the tools in
our kete are:
• Character Strengths - According to the
VIA Institute on Character (www.viacharacter.
org), every individual possesses all 24 character

strengths in different degrees, giving each person a
unique character profile. Knowing your signature
strengths is a tool that can help you through times
of struggle. Knowing and growing your core
strengths can also help you to flourish and build
your wellbeing. At Rolleston College, all staff and
Learners take the free online test and know their
Character Profile. This is then applied to their
learning and celebrated through Character Theme
weeks and World Character Day. Character
Strengths are also used in Goal Setting and can be
a useful tool when restoring situations
• Five Ways to Wellbeing - The Mental Health
Foundation promotes this as a key wellbeing tool.
‘5 ways’ includes Take Notice, Be Active, Keep
Learning, Connect and Give. They are actions
that can be incorporated into your life at any
time. Some learners find this is an easy way in to
understanding wellbeing.
• Mindfulness - Mindfulness is paying
attention to our thoughts and feelings, learning to
slow things down so we can react and see things
more clearly.
From 2017 the Pause, Breathe, Smile programme
from the Mindfulness Education group was
taught across whānau. This programme has
clear links to the New Zealand curriculum and
is also explored at some of our feeder schools.
This means learners are coming to Rolleston
College with an understanding of mindfulness
practices and how it can help them with focus
and learning. Through the eight sessions in the
programme our junior learners are able to engage
in mindfulness practices and to understand
how mindfulness can support their learning and
achievement.
In 2018 all staff spent the day with John Quinn
who is the Director of Wellbeing and Positive
Education at Christs’ College and has lead a three
year implementation of positive education both
in and out of the classroom. Rolleston College
aims to further integrate mindfulness practices
into our curriculum for senior learners to
support their educational success.
• Te Whare Tapa Wha - This is a key wellbeing
model that forms the foundation of our hauora
practices. It recognises the four cornerstones of
health. Should one of the dimensions be missing
or damaged a person can become unbalance. The
four pillars are: Taha Tinana (Physical Health)
this is the capacity for growth and development;
Taha Wairua (Spiritual Health) our capacity for
faith and communication; Taha Whānau (Family
Health) this is belonging, caring and sharing
with family and wider society; Taha Hinengaro
(Mental Health) this is to consider our thoughts,
feelings and emotions. Learners start their year
9 journey developing an understanding of this
model and create their own whare to support
their understanding.
• Check and Connect - this is a way of
connecting with our learners on a daily basis
and in all learning vehicles. There are a variety
of ways that Check and Connect can operate -
with the essential outcome being that all learners
know that they have staff who care, are ready to
help, and work together to create a flourishing
learning environment. The learners can use and
practice the tools from their kete, just as you
would use and practice numerical skills.

New tool helps farmers
gauge carbon footprint
A new carbon calculator that gives farmers
a guide to the size of their carbon footprint
has been developed by Lincoln University’s
Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit
(AERU) and Agrilink NZ, with financial
assistance from Meridian Energy and Westpac
NZ.
Alison Howard, Head of Sustainability at
Meridian Energy, is welcoming the release of
the calculator.
“We know a lot of our farming
customers are going to a lot of effort
to run their operations in a sustainable
way, and are worried how a zero
carbon target for the country might
affect them.
“This calculator gives them a quick
way to find out their impacts. We know farmers
are always looking for ways to contribute
positively to the future of New Zealand and
this is just a small way we thought we could
help.”
Westpac NZ Head of Commercial and
Agribusiness, Mark Steed, wants farmers to
know that they are supported in making better
choices, both for their farms and the country.
“We know farmers care about climate
change. Farming is a long-term business and
the changing climate is already having an
impact.
“We hope this easy way to calculate their
farm’s carbon footprint will help them
make decisions and guide the sustainable
development of their business.”
The greenhouse gas calculator was originally
prepared in 2008 to better inform the Food
Miles debate.
It has now been updated to give farmers a
quick approximation of their carbon footprint;
it is not intended to replace
detailed greenhouse gas
modelling tools.
As carbon can be a
very abstract concept,
the calculator compares
a farm’s greenhouse gas
emissions to the distance
travelled in a car, or the area that could be
planted to offset their emissions.
Andrew Barber, Managing Director of
Agrilink NZ says “owners of a variety of
farm types can use this calculator, including
horticulture for example, where farmers may
not have access to detailed carbon footprint
tools.
“Like all farmers, they can enter their energy
use, as well as that of their contractors, to better
understand their carbon footprint.”
The calculator is available at www.lincoln.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Preventing rural crime
The Police are aware of stock theft being
an issue across rural communities in New
Zealand and all complaints of stock theft
are taken seriously and followed up as
appropriate.
They encourage rural property owners
to make security a priority and ensure they
are taking measures to help prevent thefts.
A lot of reported
thefts are committed by
opportunist criminals
simply looking for that
insecure shed or a farm
vehicle with the keys left
in the ignition.
Owners of large rural
properties should check
their boundaries and
fence lines on a very
regular basis. Keep
in contact with your
neighbours too and let
each other know if you
notice anything unusual. Neighbourhood
Support groups can be particularly useful
for this purpose.
For farmers, it is crucial you regularly
review your auditing systems, in terms
of management and the security of stock.
Clearly tag animals - regardless of the size
of your property, stock numbers should
be checked once a week. Items such as
animal tags and equipment should be kept
in a secure facility. Additionally, ensure due
diligence is carried out around any new
staff who are hired.
Contact the Police immediately if you
witness any suspicious behaviour, need to
report a theft or have other information
which may assist us.
Keep in mind police may need to travel
long distances to get to you.
Call 111 when you need immediate help
with a life-threatening or time-critical
emergency.
Some emergencies will
need more than one service
(Fire, Ambulance and Police)
so ask for the service which
is needed most urgently. All
emergency services have
links to each other and the
first service called will notify
the other services if they are
required.
For non-urgent situations,
call or visit your local police
station.
Crime prevention in rural
areas is most effective when it involves a
partnership between rural people, Police,
local authorities and local organisations.
Police work closely with their partner
agencies, in particular non-government
agencies such as Community Patrols NZ
and Neighbourhood Support NZ, both
of whom have recently appointed rural
coordinators to their organisations.
Further prevention advice can be found
at the Police’s Rural Hub online at their
website www.police.govt.nz.

natives, deciduous trees, bushes, grasses,

Along with the plants, there is also
a selection of premium tools, planting
accessories and disease control products.
“Our tools are top quality and come from

Enjoy the outdoors all year
round with the Bowranda Roof
With spring now behind us and summer
in full swing, it is the perfect time to step
back and look at how you can get the most
out of your outdoor living environment.
Whether you are hosting family and
friends or just enjoying some "you time",
being able to utilise your outdoor space
with protective shade from the harsh sun
or shelter from inclement weather is the
dream lifestyle.
The Bowranda Roof is the ultimate
solution to your needs, providing comfort
and protection through all four seasons.
As a permanent outdoor space that
provides shelter from the elements, it
offers a desirable compromise for anyone
who wants to be outside while avoiding
exposure to spoiling weather extremes.
Tailored to the needs of New Zealanders,
Bowranda’s ingeniously designed roof
incorporates a specialised membrane
that eliminates 99% of UV rays while still
preserving ambient light.
This provides reliable protection from
harmful rays without compromising the
feel of a natural sunlit area, and unlike
other shade composites, it will not unduly
darken the adjacent interior.
The Bowranda is not just a sunshade;
it offers protection from all the elements,
making it a standout among
other forms of outdoor
shading. With the option to
complement the Bowranda
Roof with sunscreen mesh
or clear PVC roller blinds,
customers are protected
from sun, wind and rain
from any direction.
Constructed from
powder-coated aluminium
and marine-grade stainless
steel fixings, Bowranda has
a structural design that was
carefully developed over a
five-year period, and comes
with a 10-Year Guarantee.
The intentional square
profile of the roof line
and vertical posts ensures
aesthetic conformity with
New Zealand's residential
architecture.
The Bowranda Roof is
centrally manufactured
right here in New
Zealand to the exact
specifications and dimensions required by
customers to meet their outdoor
aspirations.

Help with
your garden
is at hand
Get your weekends back with the help of
local garden maintenance and landscaping
business Revive Landscaping.
Ross and the team are skilled in all aspects
of gardening including pruning, planting,
paving and landscape construction. They
are also experts at keeping topiaries looking
trim and tidy.
As the summer weather cools, it is a great
time for a summer prune of stone fruit
trees and trimming hedges before autumn
arrives.
Year-round maintenance of your garden
is key, Ross says, to ensuring maximum
growth and healthy vegetation. Removing
damaged or diseased plants can also help
rebalance your garden’s aesthetics and keep
an eye out for any weeds, plucking them
out at the base and collecting the roots.
If your lawn is looking tired or weedridden,
now is the time to act. By spraying,
cultivating and reseeding your lawn now,
you will give the new lawn the best chance
to spring back into life. You could also add
pavers for easy access to outdoor areas
or the clothes line once the wet weather
arrives with winter.
Building up your soil is an advantage
no matter where you live but with
Selwyn’s often stony soil, adding compost
is particularly helpful for minimising
water usage. Composting also helps with
suppressing weeds, moisture retention and
the overall health of your plants.
If keeping your garden under control
sounds like too much hard work, give
Ross at Revive Landscaping a call. They
are happy to help out with whatever you
need. Ross has many years’ experience in
landscape gardening and design including
working on sites at the Ellerslie Garden
Show and the television show Mucking In.
For a free garden consultation and
quote, call Ross on 027 222 0388 or you
can check out their website at www.

Hydroseeding cost effective
solution for your new lawn
Hydroseeding is a cost effective and
efficient way of creating a new, great
looking lawn for your home or commercial
property thanks to Canterbury Lawns.
Hydroseeding specialists and owners Zac
and Ashley Swale live locally and can give
the best advice on growing the perfect lawn.
Hydroseeding is a spray-on application
of water, grass seed, wood fibre mulch,
fertiliser and tackifier (a glue which holds
the mix to the surface it is sprayed on). This
method give the best chance for the seeds
to germinate and become your beautiful
green and luscious lawn. Providing it is well
maintained and the conditions are right, it
takes four to six weeks to see the results.
Hydroseeding can be done any time of
the year as the products used are suited to
the season. Autumn and spring are typically
the best times for growing a new lawn but
in summer your lawn will germinate much
faster if you can get plenty of water.
Zac has always enjoyed working
outdoors and has previously worked in
both landscaping and road construction
where his expertise ensures that the ground
will be prepared correctly contributing to a
successfully grown lawn.
Watering is key and Zac recommends
having an automated irrigation system
installed to make the job easier, more
convenient and more efficient in terms of
water use and can advise regarding the best
type of sprinklers for your needs.
Canterbury Lawns also installs roll-out
instant lawns using top quality products
which are locally sourced.
As part of their service clients are given
an advice care sheet after the job has been
completed so they can confidently caring
for their new lawn.
Zac and the team are also specialists
in erosion and dust control for both
commercial and residential areas. Their
hydroseeder can hold large quantities at
a time making the job more efficient and
they can source top quality products to suit
each job.
Landscaping is another part of the
Canterbury Lawns service whether you
need garden preparation, site clearing, a
new fence, paving or decking. They not
only work close to home on residential
properties but also specialise in commercial
and larger-scale work, bringing to any job a
high level of both expertise and enthusiasm.

Bring bees back to
Attracting bees to our gardens has never been more
important. We need to help make the world a better place
for these amazing little creatures’ survival.
Bees not only give us honey, they also
pollinate our plants and flowers – and they
help us grow food for our tables.
A world without bees would mean the
loss of food crops that we have come to
rely on – many of the fruit and vegetable
crops that are pollinated by bees would
simply disappear. People who depend on
the pollination of their crops for human
and animal food – farmers and orchardists
– would soon lose their livelihoods and the
effect would chain -react right through to
the supermarkets and consumers.
So how can you help?
You can attract bees to your garden by
planting a variety of flowering plants and
fruit trees. Bees love blue, purple and
yellow flowers and plants.
Don’t forget to create a watering
station for your little visitors.
Take a shallow dish, add some stones
to act as landing pads and then add
water, making sure some of the stones
are above the water line. Your bees will
love you for it!
Try planting a combination of these herbs, perennials & annuals:
- Aster
- Borage
- Calendula
- Catmint
- Fennel
- Geranium
- Hollyhock
- Lavender
- Sweet alyssum
- Sage
- Strawberry
- Sunflower
- Thyme
- Wildflower mix
- Zinnia
Our Services
Make natural pest sprays for your plants
There is a whole range of natural
ingredients you can use safely on your
plants to deter pests without harming
bees. Chances are you will have just what
you need to make a natural insecticide
or weedkiller spray in your pantry, with
ingredients such as vinegar, Epsom
salt, pepper, garlic, onion, eco-friendly
dishwashing liquid, and essential oils.
Try this safe, easy to use, and cost-effective spray:
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon of biodegradable
- 4 cloves garlic
dishwashing liquid
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 litre water
Blend onion, garlic, and cayenne in a blender. Add to water and allow the mixture
to soak/steep for an hour, then strain through a fine mesh strainer or muslin cloth.
Add liquid soap to the strained liquid and pour into a clean spray bottle. Refrigerate
for up to a week.
Spray any plants being attacked by bugs, including the underside of the leaf. Use 1-2
times per week, or after a heavy rain.
Remember to spray in the evening when the bees have finished their day’s work.

Teach children to
respect garden bees
Yes, they do sting but instead of
swatting at bees, encourage children
to quietly watch and appreciate the
work bees do in your garden.
Host a hive
If you are not allergic to bee stings and
have a sunny space in your garden, then
hiring or hosting a hive may be your
golden opportunity to help the bees
and get some honey produced in your
backyard.
Many beekeepers now hire out hives
for the garden both rural and urban. The
colony is managed by the beekeeper,
and in return, you’ll get a few kilos of
honey for your toast and help improve
pollination on your property.
Honey for health
Honey is an excellent tonic with many health benefits,
including being high in antioxidants. When combined with
other ingredients honey can be used in many ways to benefit
our health.
Turmeric is one such spice to team up with honey. In India,
turmeric is revered as a sacred root and loved for its health
benefits. Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance known for
its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Turmeric Infused Honey
1 tsp ground turmeric
¼ cup honey
1 small clean jar & lid
Spoon the honey into the jar; add the turmeric and stir.
Enjoy it by the spoonful, add a teaspoon of the mixture to

I still have many years left to give

“Now 48 of those are at a senior

numbers boom over the last

focusing on the JAB ranks as a
coach and club captain before
becoming vice president in 2012

onwards.
Laughton has been a selfconfessed

Prebbleton Reserve, but our
teams will also get access to
Christchurch United’s great
facility, coaching expertise,
resources and networks.”
The academy would provide
an additional pathway for the
Prebbleton players who are keen
to get into a high performance
programme, he said.
Christchurch United board
chairman Malcolm Hinman
is looking forward to a strong
collaboration to support football
in Prebbleton and to extend his
club’s footprint across the region.
“We already have a strong
community player base at our
historical home at Spreydon
Domain, and we are keen to
share our football expertise and
philosophy with the players and
coaches in Prebbleton as well,”
said Hinman.
Coaching education would
also be provided for Prebbleton’s
volunteers.
Prebbleton has been fielding
teams in the junior grades for
more than a decade, but has not
been allowed to register teams
in the Mainland Football youth
and senior grades, which forced
the board to look for a partner
club.
The alliance with Christchurch
United will enable Prebbleton
to field youth and senior teams
under the Christchurch United
banner.
However, they will also retain
their own identity.
“Under the agreement, our
players will now be able to
continue to play in older age
groups, but in our own colours
on their own Prebbleton home
ground,” said Gilmore.
Prebbleton’s senior teams
currently play in the Sunday
leagues, but will now have an
option to register for a Saturday

“We had been speaking with
other clubs, but they basically
just wanted to absorb our teams.
Christchurch United encouraged
us to keep our own identity,
which made this a very attractive
opportunity,” he said.

Ray and Caleb were Baughan to race
• By Allan Batt
WHEN THE cars are pushed
onto Ruapuna Speedway on
Saturday night for the South
Island Sprintcar Championship,
Caleb Baughan will be
continuing a family link that
goes back to 1996 when his
grandfather Bob Baughan was
tearing up the tracks.
“I’m a bit young to remember
grandad racing, but I know that
the sprintcars were struggling for
numbers, so Bob entered a car
with a mate of his, Chris Harley,
doing the driving. It’s hard to
believe that we are racing for
over $100,000 a season around
the island when those guys raced
for about fifty bucks a car,” the
21-year-old Prebbleton resident
said.
He is in his second full season
of racing in the 850 horsepower
V8 powered cars.
“They are just such a beast to
drive and for an adrenalin junkie
it just doesn’t get any better than
these things. It’s hard to describe
what it’s like running wheel
to wheel on a dirt track, with
limited visibility as you go into a
corner at over 140km per hour.
We have a huge amount of trust
in each other.”
Caleb’s participation in Saturday
night’s event has been under
a cloud after an expensive engine
blow up at the recent national
championship, but with help
from family and friends he is
raring to go.
“It’s a cruel sport sometimes,
and hard on time and the bank
balance but we just get stuck in
and do it.”
A couple of hard crashes hasn’t
dented his enthusiasm, as Caleb
said it’s “part of the game.”
Though, he wonders what goes
through his father Ray’s head
when those crashes occur.
“Dad has been racing sprintcars
for a few years now. Obviously
we help each other out a
lot, but I’m sure he wonders what
the hell has happened if I’ve had

a crash and my car’s either upside
down or being towed away.
While we are obviously racing
everyone else hard, there’s that
father son thing going on and we
love having a good run at each
other,” he said.
“Dad is so competitive at everything
he does. I think he hates
the thought that I might start
beating him one day, but I do
know that he’s pretty happy that
I’m a third generation sprintcar
racer.”
With close to 20 cars entered
for Saturday night’s race, Caleb
said he is keen to beat his father
to a South Island title win.
“It’s amazing that dad has
raced for so long, been on the
podium at a national midget
car event but never won a South
Island championship in either
midgets or sprintcars. He’s been
on the podium eight times, and
I know it irritates the hell out of
him.”
Caleb is pleased to be part of
the young racers who are coming
through the ranks and said
the strength of sprintcars has
never been stronger in the South
Island.”
“When you look at it, Jamie
Duff who is the current South Island
champion is just 28. There’s
Connor Rangi from Nelson who
is 18, Jayden Dodge is under 30
as is Stephen Duff. There are a
few others who are light on years
or experience. The old man says
that the old fellas are not quite
ready to chuck it in just yet.”
Saturday’s championship will
be contested over a series of heat
races, with a 25 lap feature.
Bright future for Brandon
• By Jacob Page
LINCOLN HIGH School’s
Brandon Wallace surprised
himself by claiming third
at the South Island BMX
Championships in Dunedin.
The 16-year-old finished on the
podium in the 17 to 24-year-old
category.
“I was super stoked with how
I performed for my first time in
that age class and I’d had limited
training and a few injuries
to deal with as well,” Brandon
said.
The result puts him on the
cusp of qualifications for the
nationals in Auckland in April,
depending on how his next two
races go.
Brandon represented the Kapiti
BMX Club before he moved to
Lincoln five months ago.
He will now race for the
Christchurch City BMX Club,
which is based in Hornby.
“Its a big change from up
north, but we used to drive an
hour and a half up north just to
get to a track for an hour session,
so to live just 10 minutes from a
track now means I can train a lot
more,” he said.
Brandon said the key to a good
race was often determined by the
start.
“To be honest, 95 per cent of
the time, if you’re leading into
the first turn you can usually
maintain that lead to the finish
and avoid any issues,” Brandon
said.
He got hooked on BMX three
years ago, when he rode his
brother’s bike.
SPORTS
”My wheels got off the ground
for half a second and everything
clicked with me after that,” he
said
“I knew I wanted to race and
compete.”

Seven teams still have chance
to make country cricket semis
COUNTRY CRICKET’S bottom three
teams all snared much-needed wins on
Saturday as the race for the semi-finals
heats up.
With two rounds left in the CRV
Ambreed country premier one-day
competition, seven of the eight teams still
have a mathematical chance of making
the top four.
Competition leaders Southbrook tripped
up away against Cheviot, registering just
their second loss of the season. The Brook
were rolled for 136, with Tom Rodden’s 60
the standout display.
A blazing 46 off 19 balls from Jack
Harris helped the Cheviot Magpies coast
to an eight-wicket win, which applied
pressure to Oxford-Rangiora and Kaiapoi
– who both lost over the weekend – for the
fourth finals berth.
Weedons thumped Kaiapoi by 135 runs
after posting a huge 270/7 in 45 overs.
Sam Wilson’s run-a-ball 70 led the way
for Weedons, while Brad Nightingale
(57 off 79) and veteran country stalwart
Paul Rugg (48 off 80) helped post the
mammoth total.
Only Caleb Greaves showed any
resistance for Kaiapoi in the run chase.
He was left stranded on 79, with wickets
tumbling around him. Lachie Stove (2/23)
knocked off the top order before Liam
Mason took a staggering five-wicket bag
in just 15 deliveries.
Oxford-Rangiora also stumbled
on Saturday, losing to cellar-dwellers
Darfield, who chased down 181 with eight
balls and six wickets to spare. Opener
Rhys Mariu made a classy 74 off 108
for Oxford-Rangiora, with brother Josh
Mariu (28 off 44) the only batter to give
him much support. Zak Foulkes took
4/13, while Toby Kars grabbed a threewicket
haul.
Darfield’s reply got off to a solid start
before two quick wickets from George
Mauger gave the combined side hope.
That was soon extinguished by Jesse
Frew, who put on a batting masterclass
with an unbeaten 93 off 110, guiding
Darfield to a six-wicket win.
At Leeston Park, visitors Sefton won
the toss and elected to bowl in a second
v third match-up. Leeston-Southbridge
started cautiously, seeing off a testing new
ball spell from Canterbury pace-man
Fraser Sheat.
It was then Sefton’s change bowlers who
did the damage, uprooting Canterbury
‘A’ wicketkeeper-batsman Joel Harden
(26), Rupert Young, brother of Central
Districts star Will Young, (7), and Dutch
international Tim Gruijters (6), leaving
Leeston-Southbridge 64/3 after 18 overs.
When Harry Chamberlain got his eye in,
he went on to dominate the second half
of the innings. Chamberlain smashed
seven fours and three sixes before he was
cruelly dismissed for 99. Sefton stalwart
Barry Cross was the pick of the bowlers,
taking 4/33 off nine overs, as Leeston-
Southbridge posted a competitive total of
200. The Seals were eventually dismissed
for a paltry 46, with none of their batters
reaching double digits.
Leeston-Southbridge’s Tim Field ended
with 5/8 off eight overs, ably supported by
Harden who put his wicketkeeping gloves
aside for the afternoon and took four
wickets with his right-arm seamers.

Hyundai Santa Fe shows its versatility
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
IT WAS A case of mission
accomplished, I was asked by my
daughter if I would help her shift
flats.
Along with a stack of shoes
that I didn’t think was possible
for a 24-year-old to accumulate,
there was the usual amount of
furniture – duchess, cabinets and
bed. I had the perfect vehicle to
carry out the process – a Hyundai
Santa Fe – a large seven-seat
sport utility vehicle, of course,
by lowering the rear rows of
seats you get a very healthy
wagon section which swallowed
everything we could load into it,
mattress aside.
That’s one of the reasons why
SUVs have become so popular,
they are adaptable and versatile
and, in the Santa Fe’s case, it is
also a plush luxury car which
impresses with its refinement.
As history has served to prove,
I missed a drive in the previous
generation model, circumstances
constantly conspiring against
me getting into the vehicle. That
aside, the latest generation model
is simply stunning, it is grand in
its design and manufacture.
The new Santa Fe is all-new, it
lands here in four variants, petrol
and diesel, all with four-wheeldrive
starting from $59,990.
Bearing in mind the old V6
engine is gone, today’s petrolpowered
Santa Fe is a 2.4-litre
four-cylinder unit.
This evaluation focuses on
the range-topping Limited with
Hyundai’s magnificent 2.2-litre
diesel engine. The four-cylinder
turbocharged unit is rated at
147kW (3800rpm) with 440Nm
of torque available from 1570rpm
to 2750rpm.
Not only are these outputs
impressive in terms of flexibility
and outright grunt, it is one of
the smoothest engines you are
ever likely to find in a vehicle of
this type.
The engine is hooked to
a recently-developed eightspeed
automatic transmission,
something that is shared with
Hyundai’s partnership with Kia.
Interaction between the engine
and gearbox is smooth and
seamless, and the gear ratios
are structured so that they work
efficiently with the engine’s power
and torque bands, especially so
the mid-range rev spread.
In this form, the Santa Fe is
relatively quick for a vehicle
which weighs in at almost
two-tonne. According to my
stopwatch it will make 100km/h
from a standstill in 9.4sec and
80km/h to 120km/h in 6.2sec.
As you would expect in newage
SUV, the Santa Fe is fitted
with the latest technologies
for safety, along with a full raft
of features for comfort and
convenience.
At $82,990, it really needs to be
well-specced, it is competing with
the major European brands, and
if you throw in a newcomer to
the large SUV market – Holden’s
Acadia – then Hyundai know
it has to provide a good level of
fitment.
Major items of specification
HYUNDAI SANTA FE: Sophisticated sport utility vehicle.
include full leather trim with
electrically adjustable seats up
front (also heated). There is
head-up display, paddle shift gear
selectors and the choice of several
drive modes which the driver
can use to suit his or her driving
preference. These are on top of
items that you would normally
expect to find in a top-grade
model.
HIGH-SPEC: The Santa Fe has a multitude of features, including
leather trim..
Hyundai has upped the
ante in terms of efficiency in
this age where fuel prices play
such a big part in the buying
choice.
The Santa Fe returned some
interesting fuel usage information
during my time with the test car.
At 100km/h in top gear the big
diesel sips fuel instantaneously at
around seven-litres per 100km
(41mpg), turning over at just
1500rpm.
A test average of 9l/100km
(31mpg) is respectable for vehicle
weight, and compares well to
Hyundai’s combined cycle claim
of 7.5l/100km (37mpg).
Not only is the diesel Santa
Fe an economical choice, it will
offer the versatility you would
expect from a family wagon. It
cruises the highway with dignity,
yet it also tackles the hard yards
when presented with an off-theseal
excursion, although at just
185mm, the driver does need
to keep in mind that ground
clearance isn’t huge.
The suspension is fully
independent all-round – struts
up front and multiple links on the
rear – the spring and dampers are

no mistaking the suspension

ride is far from abrasive.
It was good to be back
behind the wheel of a Santa
Fe. I’ve driven a lot of Hyundai
product in recent months
and it all stands up to be
counted in terms of quality and
sophistication.
The new Santa Fe
lands at a time when
sales in the large SUV sector
are still rising. It has a lot of
competition but with such a
broad range there is a Santa Fe
for all budgets.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE ST Andrew’s Co lege big

Fastier, co lapsed and died the

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
have taken a step back in time,
s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-

has b en given the gr en ligh to

Templeton.
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the
board on Thursday it had the okay
from the city council to make a
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies
for a resource consen to create a

Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s
plan.
“You can just about guarant e
it . because we [the community
board] don’t believe qua ries

areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’ submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes

Mr Mora said the community

Tips for first home buyers
Struggling to get on the property ladder
and feeling fed up? You’re not alone. Real
Estate Authority (REA) research has found
that more than half of all first home buyers
– even the ones who successfully buy a
property – find the process stressful and
overwhelming.
“We know it’s hard for people when they’re
trying to buy their first home – it’s a complex
legal process and a huge financial deal,”
says REA chief executive Kevin Lampen-
Smith. “We want to empower them to feel
more confident and in control when they’re
making such a big decision.”
1. SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES
You’ll already know that saving is a big
part of getting ready to buy, but do you
know what else you need to do?
Getting financial advice from a qualified
advisor could be a useful step in your
planning. Owning a property means you’re
responsible for all the maintenance and
repairs – and for paying rates and insurance.
Owning an apartment may also mean you
need to pay body corporate fees. These costs
can be a bit of a shock to the system if you’ve
rented for a long time.
“It’s also a good idea to get conditional
pre-approved finance arranged so you can
move quickly when you spot a property you
really like,” Lampen-Smith says. “Having
conditional pre-approval lets you know the
price range you can buy in and it shows
agents and sellers that you’re a serious buyer.
It’s also crucial if you’re planning to bid on a
property at auction.”
Don’t forget to explore ways that
you might be able to get help from the
Government. There are various forms of
assistance available if you’re a KiwiSaver
member, buying in certain areas, want
to buy a former Housing New Zealand
property or are Māori and want to live on
your ancestral land.
2. NEEDS VS WANTS
Many first home buyers discover a big gap
between what they’d like to buy and what
they can afford when they first start looking.
“Sit down and write a tight list of what
your absolute must-haves are, then work
out what you’re willing to compromise on,”
Lampen-Smith says.
If you’re thinking about pets and children
arriving in the short-to-medium term, think
about how these will change your needs.
Will you need to be near to childcare or
schools? Will you need a fenced property?
“If you’re the sort of person who likes a
good list, we’ve got a useful ‘researching the
property’ checklist on settled.govt.nz that
will help you keep track of all the questions
to ask about a property. This is especially
useful if you’re looking at more than one
property at a time.”
3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
Don’t let your desperation to find
somewhere blind you to a property’s faults.
“Do as much research as you can about a
property,” Lampen-Smith says. “That means
getting a lawyer on board to make sure all
the paperwork is in order and to help you
understand if there are any issues. We also
recommend getting a qualified building
inspector who has professional indemnity
insurance to prepare a comprehensive
report on the property.”
If you’re worried about paying for this
kind of report before you make an offer (due
to a lack of time or funds), you can make
them a condition of your offer. Remember
that paying for good advice is an investment
that will buy you more peace of mind than a
quick once-over by a mate.
4. RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS
Buying a ‘doer-upper’ is a Kiwi tradition,
especially for first-home buyers, but we’re
not all blessed with the right skills. Factor
this in before you make an offer on a
‘renovator’s dream’.
“Be honest with yourselves about how
much DIY you can really do, especially if
you’ve got pets and kids,” Lampen-Smith
says.
“Getting professionals in to help will cost
more, but it will also make the process faster.
It may also be better in the long term when it
comes to selling the property if any work has
been done properly with the right consents.”

information on buying or selling, check

[Edition datE]
What you need to know about open
homes when you’re selling a property
There is nowhere more sacred than your
home. Welcoming visitors is one thing,
opening it up to complete strangers is
another situation entirely.
When you’re selling a property you get
to decide how the open home process is
run. If you’re working with a real estate
agent, this is will be part of the marketing
plan that you agree upon with them before
you sign the agency agreement. The real
estate agent will advise you on the timing
and frequency of open homes, or any
other viewings. If there is anything you
are uncertain about, talk to the agent and
make your feelings clear. There’s no law
that you have to have open homes – you
may decide that you’d rather have viewings
by appointment only.
“Bear in mind though that in order to
sell your home, people will have to see it,”
says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive
of the Real Estate Authority (REA). “You
may have to be flexible on when viewings
are held, even if they are not particularly
convenient.”
If you are selling privately, you have full
responsibility for running any viewings.
This can be time-consuming and has the
potential to be distressing if you’re not
braced to hear other people’s criticisms of
your property. Some private sellers get a
friend to help out for this reason.
When it comes to the marketing and
selling process of your home it’s a good
idea to look at things from the perspective
of the real estate agent and any prospective
purchaser, Lampen-Smith says.
“Open homes often attract people who
are just browsing to see what’s around, or
neighbours who have always wanted to
see what ‘that house at number 10’ is like.
The agent will report back to you after the
open home to let you know the level of
interest – if they have kept an electronic
or paper record of visitors it will give you
an indication of how many visitors were
sticky beaks from down the street.”
In an ideal world, people will treat your
home with respect when viewing it, he
says.
“If you suspect they will need
reminding, request that the agent asks
visitors to remove any wet weather gear or
shoes before entering. Most people go on a
major cleaning, tidying and de-cluttering
mission before putting a property on the
market, which will make it much easier
to prepare it for an open home. It’s a
good idea to clear away any valuables or
personal items (if time is short, dump
them all in a washing basket that you can
pick up and take with you) and use your
own common sense about what you want
strangers to see.”
Don’t shove things into cupboards or
wardrobes – prospective buyers will be
keen to gauge storage capacity. Remember
that families with small children could be
going through your property and delicate
ornaments or family heirlooms might be
better out of harm’s way.
Selling a property can be a stressful time,
but you’ll make it much easier on yourself
if you work out a plan of attack, including
getting the advice of professionals along
the way, Lampen-Smith says.
“Present your home well and it’s more
likely to attract another set of owners.”

Anyone intending to build a new home
should have the builder’s contract
checked out by an experienced lawyer.
A payment schedule can also
minimise financial risks. Issues that
you may have to deal with include:
the deposit, guarantees and warranties
If you want to compare building
companies, it’s important to get down
to finer details such as how many
power points there are per room, the
type of windows you are having or
which paint finishes are included.
Questions to ask
builders include:
• Do you have a completion guarantee
and how does it work?
• Is there a loss of deposit
guarantee?
• Is the company a
Registered Master Builder
and does it use thirdparty
written guarantees?
• What is the schedule for
payments?
• How are the deposit and
progress payments
administered?
• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust
fund?
• Will the master franchisor complete
the build if the franchisee goes out
of business
• What are the exact specs?
• Are the prices fixed?
• What is excluded from the build?
• Are there any restrictions on
driveways or any other connections?
• Can you speak with clients who
have just completed a build?
Do your homework before you decide
on a building company and you will
have a less stressful time once the
building process starts.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
A building inspection is a safeguard
Before purchasing an existing home, consider engaging
the services of a firm that specialises in carrying out
building inspections.
A building inspection does not guarantee the
condition of a house however, the inspector’s knowledge
of construction and what is code compliant can help
towards protecting your investment. It is for this reason
most financial institutions request a building inspection
report before agreeing to mortgage a property.
Legal issues, such as the LIM and whether a house has
Council code of compliance, will not be addressed as
part of a building inspection and you and your solicitor
should investigate these.
Pre-purchase building inspections generally come with
a comprehensive report on what the inspector viewed
and the condition of the home.
The inspector will check the foundations outside.
Where a single level dwelling with a wooden floor the
confined space inside will likely mean a torch is simply
shone through the manhole for checking any obvious
signs of deterioration like a loose pile.
Health and safety legislation will also prevent the
inspector from carrying out more than a look in the roof
cavity, from a ladder or safe attic access space. This is
still likely to provide an indication of the condition of
the trusses along with the level of ceiling insulation. The
roof and guttering will be viewed from a ladder placed
at various points around the house. If you have serious
concerns about the condition of the roof, you may wish
to engage the services of a qualified roofer who can
provide a more specialised report.
The exterior walls of the home where visible, will be
looked over for cracks and gaps between the cladding and
flashing, and the condition of the joinery examined.
Inside, the general condition will be assessed, taking
into account normal wear and tear for the age of the
home. Floor levels in the various rooms will be measured
and noted within the report as will indicative moisture
readings.
Some aspects of the inspection will be more involved
than others. For example, the hot water system,
plumbing, electrical or gas may only receive cursory
looks as the inspector is unlikely to be qualified in these
areas.
Features such as the foundation footings, ground
conditions and stability, waterproofing membranes,
drainage including storm water and
sewers, in-ground features like a
swimming pool or spa, septic tanks,
wells, fireplaces and chimneys,
intercom systems and appliances,
are generally outside the scope of a
building inspection.
The report may recommend
remedial work and how the home
could be improved.
If considering buying a preearthquake
home, ensure it has been
signed off in relation to any remedial
work carried out through EQC or
an insurance company. Check also,
that the property is fully insurable
and there are no issues in relation to
• The cladding will
be examined.
• The home’s
condition will be
assessed.
• A building
inspection report
may recommend
remedial work.
• The roof will be
checked from a
ladder.
securing future insurance. You may not be concerned
if purchasing an ‘as is, where is’ home though contents
insurance may still be required.

The pros and cons of building sites
When selecting a building site weigh up
your lifestyle, family needs and aspirations
before signing up for any section.
Those purchasing early on in the
development of a subdivision will have
more choice of section size and orientation
to the street and sun. As the individual
sites are sold, there may be less availability
though this need not be a deterrent. With
good design any building site can be made
to work.
Selwyn has experienced considerable
growth in recent years. Sub-divisions
have opened up and been built on, with
new developments regularly coming on
stream. Within these, section sizes vary
from around 400 square metres upwards
to 5,000 square metres. Lifestyle blocks are
also scattered around the district.
The size of the house and amount of
yard desired will influence the feasibility
of some building sites as will sun and wind
direction, bearing in mind that a house
can be designed to capture the sun’s free
heat and allow for pleasant outdoor areas
to enjoy.
If the street side of the building site is
north/north west, incorporating fenced or
planted courtyards can offer private places
to entertain and bask in the sun.
Those wanting street presence or keen
on gardening may prefer a corner section
and while it might seem they offer less
privacy, with strategic placement of fences
quite the opposite can be the case.
Weigh up your family’s needs in terms
of the outdoor areas too. Do you want play
areas for your children? Do you have a
need for off-street parking for a number of
vehicles and space for a boat, caravan or
motorhome, which may need to be parked
out of site of the street? How much lawn or
garden do you want?
Start by identifying housing
developments that you like and could see
your family living in. Think also about the
convenience of shops and other amenities,
something that may or may not be a
concern.
Single out possible sections then talk
with a designer or builder. Most building
companies have a good selection of
standard plans as a starting point and they
will usually work with a client to modify
a plan or draw up one that will work
on a particular building site, whilst also
containing the components the client is
seeking within their new home.
Before signing up for any building
site, check the Council land zoning and
recession plane requirements as well as
covenants for the sub-division. These will
show not only how far from a boundary
the house can be sited but also roof
height, permissible building materials,
and acceptable types of fencing, as well as
what can be on view from the street like
a clothes line, caravan or motorhome.
Conducting your research first will save
any frustration or hassles later.
All sections are
workable, it is simply
a matter of choosing
one that matches
your specific needs.
