ROLLESTON<br />

Rolleston’s growth<br />

7<br />

continues<br />

Located only 20km from<br />

Christchurch and with<br />

just over 16,000 residents,<br />

Rolleston is the largest town<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district and<br />

is continuing to grow at a<br />

significant pace.<br />

Rolleston is situated either<br />

side of a busy State Highway<br />

One either heading north<br />

to Christchurch or south to<br />

Ashburton. Nearby roadworks<br />

with a complex array of<br />

off-ramps and over bridges<br />

are part of the motorway<br />

extension to connect the town<br />

with central Christchurch<br />

which are expected to be<br />

completed by the end of the<br />

year.<br />

As with many new towns, the<br />

face of Rolleston has changed<br />

significantly over the years. As<br />

the population increases so<br />

does the number of facilities,<br />

shopping choices and schools.<br />

The Rolleston Community<br />

Centre co-ordinates and hosts<br />

a wide range of recreation<br />

programmes for all ages.<br />

From Baby Gym to Roller<br />

Skating, Tai Chi, Spin, Yoga and<br />

Zumba. The centre also has<br />

a variety of affordable venue<br />

spaces for hire for indoor<br />

sporting fixtures, weddings,<br />

community meetings and<br />

more. The Rolleston Library<br />

is co-located in the same<br />

building. Library membership<br />

is free for all residents and<br />

ratepayers and allows them<br />

to borrow items and use<br />

eResources online. The library<br />

runs weekly programmes and<br />

regular events for residents of<br />

all ages.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre has<br />

four pools; a 25m pool with<br />

eight lanes, a hydrotherapy<br />

pool with attached spa, a<br />

learn-to-swim pool and a<br />

leisure pool with a lazy river<br />

and toddlers area.<br />
