Mort gets a second run at life after rescue 

SPECIAL: Mort the dog may have had a rough start to life. But after hours of training his owner Vikki Smith now has him taking 

part in cross country competitions for dogs.

MORT THE dog had a rough 

start to life. 

About eight months ago, 

the huntaway cross, which 

now attends the Selwyn Dog 

Training Club, was found tied 

up and under weight, covered 

in fleas and worms on a farm in 

Timaru. 

But the 14-month-old had 

a lucky escape when he was 

rescued by a dairy farmer 

and now has a new home 

in Halswell. His new owner 

Vikki Smith, 30, said when 

she first brought him home in 

December, the unruly dog had 

“no social skills.” 

“When I first got him he 

would scream and lunge if he 

saw dogs on the horizon,” she 

said. •Turn to page 7

calls for 

charges 

• By Anan Zaki 

ONGOING harassment of a 

disabled woman in Leeston 

has resulted in trespass notices 

against three youths. 

But the mother of the woman 

believes the youths should 

have been charged with assault 

following an incident on March 

25. 

She believes if police had taken 

action earlier it would have prevented 

her daughter from being 

allegedly assaulted again nearly 

two months later on May 19. 

The mother said she will 

lay a complaint with the 

Independent Police Conduct 

Authority. She did not want to be 

named to protect her daughter’s 

identity. 

It’s alleged the youths first 

assaulted the disabled woman, 

in her 40s, on March 25 at her 

house in Leeston at about 11pm. 

She suffers from cyclic vomiting 

syndrome.

SELWYN TIMES 

THERE’S A very heart-warming story 

on the front page today about Mort, the 

huntaway cross. 

Many dogs have sad lives; neglected and 

beaten by cowardly owners who treat them 

badly simply because they can. 

These dogs have complex behavioural problems. The 

underlying ones are fear and mistrust which in turn leads to 

more issues. 

But luckily Mort now has a loving home and is doing well. 

It takes a lot of care and love, not to mention patience, to turn 

a rescue dog around. But as Mort’s new owner Vikki Smith is 

finding, the rewards are worth it. 

Treat a dog well and they will return the affection and be a 

loyal mate for life.

Community board 

criticises Templeton quarry plan 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A COMMUNITY board 

submission criticising Fulton 

Hogan’s contentious Templeton 

quarry plan is set to be finalised 

today. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

has highlighted 

“significantly 

adverse 

effects” from 

the proposed 

Roydon Quarry 

if it is allowed to 

go ahead. They 

Mike Mora 

Simon 

Moore 

include: 

•The impact 

the quarry 

will have on 

transport 

infrastructure 

and health of 

water bodies. 

•The quarry 

is not consistent 

with the Selwyn 

District Plan; 

land and water 

plan; regional air plan; and 

other strategic plans in the area. 

•Residents loss of rural 

character, adverse visual 

impacts and potential health 

effects associated with the 

discharge of contaminants. 

•A negative impact on nearby 

businesses – particularly 

training stables located around 

Templeton. 

•NOISE AND vibrations which 

would negatively impact on 

the planned cemetery at 173 

Maddisons Rd. 

An external consultant 

was hired to help with the 

submission. 

In late November, Fulton 

Hogan made a resource consent 

application to quarry at a 170ha 

site bordered by Curraghs, 

Dawsons, Jones and Maddisons 

Rd. The proposal received major 

backlash from residents. 

Last year more than 405 

people signed a petition, which 

was presented to Environment 

Canterbury, the Environment 

Ministry and Selwyn District 

Council, opposing the quarry.

was hopeful the submission will 

have a major impact in stopping 

the quarry from going ahead. 

Weedons quarry opponent 

Simon Moore said the 

submission reflects concerns 

residents 

have, particularly those relating 

to traffic, dust and water. 

He said it is good to see the 

city council is taking it seriously 

and every submission creates an 

argument for why the quarry 

shouldn’t go ahead. 

“We have been saying all 

along it is a totally inappropriate 

place to plonk a quarry and that 

is all they are doing, they are 

plonking it there,” Mr Moore 

said. 

Submissions on Fulton

application close on Thursday.

Celebrating Selwyn art in Lincoln 

Down by the Liffey 

Gallery in Lincoln has 

been displaying art 

since 2011, reporter 

Anan Zaki met the 

brains behind it 

JIM AND FRANCIE Conolly 

have long admired art of all 

forms. 

Eight years ago, the Lincoln 

couple were offered an opportunity 

they couldn’t turn down – 

opening their own art gallery. 

Down by the Liffey Gallery 

on James St is a lonely structure, 

near the Liffey Stream. 

“It [the building] was built as 

the Lincoln Library in 1911 for 

King George V’s coronation,” 

Mrs Conolly said. 

It became a toy library in the 

1990s before it was left vacant 

again in 2009. 

“One of our friends asked: 

‘Francie, what are you going to 

do about that building?’” Mrs 

Conolly said. 

“We said we think it would be 

a good art gallery,” she said. 

Mr Conolly believed the couple 

were asked that question because 

he had lived in Lincoln for 40 years 

and Mrs Conolly for 26 years. 

The district council – which 

owns the building – did not want

was chosen because of its location 

near the Liffey Stream. 

It became a sanctuary for 

artists from across the district.

95 Gasson St 

“Before the gallery opened, 

all artists in Selwyn used to go 

off for about 10 days in February 

every second year visiting 

all these different places in the 

district,” Mrs Conolly said. 

“What we did was take all our 

paintings and take paintings 

of our friends who didn’t have 

anywhere to show them. From 

there we thought we need 

somewhere for people to put 

their art.” 

And it was all about celebrating 

the Selwyn art scene. 

“A lot of people didn’t have a 

facility to show that art,” Mrs 

Conolly said. 

While she appreciates all forms 

of art, her husband is the artist of 

the two. 

But Mr Conolly is modest 

about his own artistic ability.

“It was just part-time 

[painting]. I’m not good 

enough to have a whole 

exhibition for myself,” Mr 

Conolly said. 

“Usually, I try to do 

paintings of things that 

have happened in my life 

– nature, the bush, mountains.” 

Once a year, the gallery’s 

150 members put on a 

members only show. And 

being a community gallery, 

schools are also invited to 

display art every year. 

“Last year we had Broadfield 

School and Ladbrooks 

School,” he said. 

Some artworks displayed 

at the gallery are sold at 

the owner’s request, with a 

commission going to help 

run the place. 

“Although we don’t pay 

rent, we have phone bills, 

Eftpos, power and Mike 

Glover, [the gallery administrator],” 

Mr Conolly said. 

He said the district’s art 

scene is surprisingly good. 

There are a number of art 

groups and galleries which 

operate and contribute 

positively to the district’s 

art scene, Mr Conolly said. 

Until two years ago, 

Down by the Liffey Gallery 

was run by volunteers but 

the workload for day to day 

operations required a paid 

person, he said. 

Mr Glover, an artist from 

Springston, who previously 

volunteered, stepped into 

the role of the administrator. 

“It’s a place for local people 

to exhibit their work. 

We’ve got quite a bit of first

time exhibitors – that gives 

people a real boost to show 

their work,” Mr Glover 

said. 

“Because it’s primarily 

run by volunteers it’s 

a great little community 

enterprise.” 

Mrs Conolly said the gallery’s 

biggest asset was its 

volunteers such as Adriana 

de Groot. 

“Without them it 

couldn’t function,” she 

said. 

The couple never imagined 

they would still be 

helping run the gallery 

eight years after it opened. 

They only have one wish 

for the gallery going into 

the future. 

“I just hope that it stays 

as a little exhibition centre,” 

Mr Conolly said.

Mother calls for charges 

•From page 1 

“The three youths knocked on 

her door, they hid nearby and 

then the assault happened when 

she opened her front door to see 

who was there,” the mother said. 

She said one of the three youths 

swung a “heavy stick” at the 

woman and another “punched 

her sternum,” causing her to fall, 

injuring her tailbone. 

“Despite a 111 call, it 

took about an hour for 

the police to arrive,” the 

mother said. 

The officer drove to the 

area where the “thugs” had 

fled to then returned and 

told the woman to phone 

Leeston police, the mother said. 

Her daughter was able to identify 

the youths as they had harassed 

her for a year. The mother phoned 

local police the next day. 

“Despite the names, residential 

and work address being given . . . 

no assault charge or trespass order 

was done,” she said. 

The mother phoned Christchurch 

Central Police in April for an 

update but she said she was told to 

print a trespass notice herself. 

The youths allegedly assaulted 

the woman again on May 19 at 

about 1.30am, breaking two front 

teeth. 

“She was woken by voices outside, 

taunting her, and calling her 

‘crazy lady’. She opened the door 

slightly, to tell them ‘go away’.” 

Hirone 

Waretini 

One of the three youths “shoved 

his hand towards her mouth.” 

Following the second assault, 

police attended and wrote trespass 

notices on the three, the 

mother said. 

The youths had an “independent 

witness” providing an alibi for 

the second incident so police did 

not charge them with assault, she 

said. 

The second assault would 

not had happened if police 

had acted quicker following 

the first incident, the mother 

said. Her daughter did not 

have witnesses of her own. 

Acting Canterbury Rural 

Area Commander Inspector 

Hirone Waretini would not comment 

about the assault allegations 

because of a possible IPA complaint. 

But he said completing and 

serving trespass notices is not a 

“prescribed function” of police. 

“Each incident reported to 

police is treated on a case-by-case 

basis. As it’s understood a formal 

complaint is expected to be laid 

we would not be able to comment 

further publicly,” Inspector 

Waretini said. 

“However, we would always 

endeavour to provide any information 

we are able to directly to 

the complainant.” 

Inspector Waretini said 

“any time” a member of the 

community is not satisfied with 

police it will be looked into. 

Giving Mort a new start 

•From page 1 

But determined not to give up, 

Ms Smith initially started taking 

Mort to the edge of Westlake 

Reserve to get him used to 

seeing other dogs. 

Now Mort has participated 

in his first cross-country 

competition for canines and 

is training to take part in 

upcoming agility competitions 

in the summer. 

Recently he finished second in 

the Canterbury Sled Dog Club’s 

Winter Solstice competition 

with Ms Smith’s partner Michael 

Murray. 

“He absolutely loves it. As soon 

as his harness goes on, he sees 

you putting his running gear on 

and he gets so excited.” 

Ms Smith spends about 10 

hours a week training Mort, as 

well as attending the Selwyn 

Dog Training Club. 

“When dogs are puppies it 

is really important they learn 

to focus on you when there are 

other dogs around . . . Mort 

didn’t have any of that. I noticed 

when I first got him if any dog 

was around he would just lose 

his head,” he said. 

Ms Smith also suspects Mort 

was trained with physical 

punishment. 

While Mort is still not quite

She said 

considering 

what he has been 

through, he has 

got “a cheerful 

disposition.” 

“He is just such 

a happy dog, it

good outlook on 

life because he just

“You just think

Smith said. 

Mort is named 

after a character in 

the fantasy novel 

Mort by Terry 

Pratchett. 

“The description 

of Mort said it 

looks as though he 

is entirely made 

out of knees - uncoordinated 

and

description of my dog.”

“It’s just my belief in music’s 

value on people’s lives. It’s so good 

for so many aspects for children’s 

development and we have a lot of 

adults as well who come back to 

it,” Mrs Stewart said. 

Kirwee community stalwart 

Mrs Begg has been involved 

in a range of roles with sports

since the 1960s.

SELWYN TIMES

Hazards tested drivers during 

MOTORING IS synonymous 

with living in 21st-century 

Selwyn. 

The increasing volume of traffic 

travelling along the main arterial 

routes within the district in 

the morning and late afternoon 

rush hours are proof of that. 

The urban sprawl from 

Christchurch, the development 

of industry and the growth in 

agriculture within the district 

continues to put pressure on local 

roading infrastructure. 

Fortunately, the district 

has one of the largest roading 

networks in the country to cope 

with this, but this was not always 

the case. 

It was not until the introduction 

of early motor vehicles that 

the local roads boards (forerunners 

to county and later district 

councils) were encouraged to 

spend more money on road 

construction and improving the 

quality of the roads. 

Farmers could see the benefits 

of having better roads that would 

ensure their products got to 

markets quicker, and such improvements 

were made as many 

farmers were elected onto rural 

roads boards. 

The first two internal combustion 

engine cars arrived in New 

Historian and district council staff member Wayne 

Stack continues his monthly look 

at Selwyn’s past. Anyone with suggestions for 

future features can phone Wayne on 

021 119 9107. This month’s feature is about motoring. 

ON TOUR: A pre-1914 touring party well-dressed for open-cab driving conditions. 

Zealand in February 1898, although 

they could not be legally 

driven on the colony’s road at 

that time. 

Motoring was so new that 

legislators had not yet decided on 

how to deal with the unfamiliar 

contraptions. 

The engines for these early 

cars had only been developed by 

Gottleib Daimler in Germany 

14 years earlier in 1884, with 

Karl Benz’s first primitive petroldriven 

tri-car not being built 

until the following year. 

Motoring in New Zealand 

was first formally promoted by 

Wellington MP William McLean 

Our Great 

history 

WITH WAYNE STACK 

when he introduced a private 

members Bill seeking permission 

to import and drive motor 

vehicles and to store flammable 

substances for their propulsion. 

This resulted in the introduction 

of the Motor-Car Act (1898). 

The act limited the speed of vehicles 

to 12 miles per hour, with 

vehicles having to be registered 

with local authorities and after 

sunset having to carry a forward 

facing light. 

The first car (a Benz) to arrive 

in Canterbury was shipped to 

Christchurch by Nicholas Oates. 

He was to receive the first traffic 

fine when he failed to stop the 

vehicle when he came upon a 

tethered horse. The horse bolted 

taking the lamp post which it 

was tied to with it. This resulted 

in Oates receiving a hefty fine of 

£30. 

Steam-powered cars were 

also introduced about this 

time, with a Locomobile steam 

car being the first car to make 

a journey from Dunedin to 

Christchurch in 1901. 

The first steam-powered car 

(more accurately a motorised 

buggy) in Australasia was built 

in the Addington Railway 

Workshops in 1880 and was said 

to have travelled up to 30mp/h.

the golden age of motoring 

Motoring as a pastime was not 

a popular concept with some sectors 

of New Zealand society. 

Horse-drawn cartage was the 

traditional mode used by freight 

carriers and motor vehicles were 

initially seen as a threat to this, 

while church leaders advocated 

that motorists should not be able 

to drive on Sunday – the sabbath. 

At the turn of the 

19th-century the poor state of the 

roads in Canterbury, especially 

in rural areas such as the Selwyn 

District, limited motoring mainly 

to town and city streets. The 

roads in the country areas were 

mostly poorly maintained bridle 

tracks whose conditions were 

at the mercy of the weather and 

geography. 

Dusty in summer and muddy 

in the winter, the corrugations 

in the roads threatened to shake 

the early cars to pieces, with the 

abrasive silica dust damaging 

exposed engine parts. Examples 

of such tracks that are now main 

roads includes Shands Track 

(now Rd) and Old West Coast 

Rd. 

For many years there was a 

lack of bridges in the district and 

drivers were forced to ford rivers 

and streams, sometimes with 

dire consequences to the driver, 

passengers and vehicles. 

DANGER: Fording rivers was a common practice in the Selwyn District where few roads had bridges. Right – An early Ford car attempting 

a rough hill road. 

Likewise, the roads and tracks 

in the foothills and Porters and 

Arthur’s Passes challenged the 

most hardy of drivers and vehicles. 

For these reasons the Model T 

Ford, which was introduced in 

1908, proved to be very popular 

in New Zealand, especially with 

farmers. It was simple and robust 

and could take the knocks from 

poor country roads, bush tracks 

and farm paddocks. 

Early motorists did not have to 

obtain a licence, which did not 

occur until 1924, while compulsory 

third party insurance was 

not introduced until 1928. Warrants 

of fitness for private motor 

cars was not obligatory until as 

late as 1937. 

Cars were expensive and owning 

one became a status symbol 

for the wealthy, although they 

were put to practical use. They 

became an essential tool for rural 

doctors in being able to deliver 

bedside services to their patients 

in isolated areas. 

Early motorists also had to 

carry their own petrol supply in 

four gallon cans known as ‘flimsies’ 

which they bought from the 

local grocer or blacksmith. It was 

not until 1926 that petrol bowsers 

were introduced. 

Over the years, motoring has 

become an important aspect of 

the social life of New Zealanders. 

The Automobile Association was 

established initially to promote 

social gatherings for motorist, 

with the first club started in 

Christchurch as early as 1900. 

Such activities grew in popularity 

over the years with the arrival of 

bigger touring cars in the 1920s 

and 1930s. 

For the past two years, the early 

days of motoring in the Selwyn 

District have been celebrated at 

an annual vintage car rally held 

on Anzac Day. The rally attracts 

an average of 70 vintage cars dating 

from the early 1900s through 

to 1945. The rally begins at the 

Darfield Recreation Centre and 

follows a local route that includes 

Springfield, Glentunnel and 

Hororata, before returning to 

Darfield. 

And although not as fast, 

comfortable or provided with 

the safety features of modern 

vehicles, it is these cars of 

yesteryear that provide a 

continual reminder of the golden 

age of motoring in district.

Greasy cutworm 

THE GREASY cutworm 

Agrotis ipsilon is a 

cosmopolitan moth whose 

larvae attack a large variety 

of vegetable, cereals and 

grasses. 

Moths are grey to brown 

in colour, have a wingspan 

of about 50mm with dark 

markings on forewing. The 

moth acquires its scientific 

species name from the 

black y-shaped marking on 

the forewing resembling 

the Greek letter upsilon. 

The moths are nocturnal, 

can be observed throughout 

the year, but are seen 

most often between October 

and April. 

Females produce 

pheromones to attract 

males for mating. Females 

can lay between 600 to 800 

eggs on crevices in ground 

which take several days to 

hatch. 

The larvae are greasy in 

appearance and can vary 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology 

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces 

a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His 

column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, 

the variety of living things around us. Check out the full 

list of invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/ 

projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln 

in colour from light grey to 

dark brown or purple and 

reach 25-30mm in length. 

Each larvae can consume 

as much as 400 square 

centimetres of vegetation 

above ground before it 

then heads below the soil 

surface for the latter part of 

its development. 

Pupation usually occurs 

under ground or litter 

where it often over-winters. 

Globally the species can 

have between one and four 

generations, depending 

on the climate; in New 

Zealand, two to three 

generations occur. 

Natural enemies include 

insectivourous birds, 

large ground beetles e.g. 

(Megadromus antarcticus) 

and a fly parasite species 

Bonnetia comta released as 

a bioconcontrol agent.

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to the 

Selwyn Times’ article 

about police crackdowns 

on driver distraction 

Alan Harris – Good to see 

a crackdown by police on this. 

Cellphone use is probably the 

most obvious cause of distraction 

and people flouting the 

law and putting others at risk is 

commonplace. 

Continuing to “educate” drivers 

has some merit but as I see 

it people who continue to use 

a hand-held cellphone while 

driving either can’t read or don’t 

care. The current penalty of $80 

and 20 demerit points is not a 

deterrent. 

The penalty for hand-held 

cellphone use while driving in 

Australia is A$400, the United 

Kingdom is GB£200 (NZ$400) 

and in Canada up to C$1000 

(NZ$1100). 

In my view the financial penalty 

should be increased to $200 

or thereabouts and also include 

on-the-spot confiscation of the 

phone, either temporarily or 

permanently which ever is easier 

for police to manage. 

I would also like to see a more 

visible police presence on the 

roads although I appreciate they 

can’t be everywhere. 

Jo Lamont – I think this 

is fantastic news I really think 

we should bring in much much 

larger fines for texting. At least 

what they have in Australia 

demerits and instant fines. 

I do a lot of walking around 

Rolleston and feel at a certain 

times of the day you can see 

at least one driver in five are 

texting. 

This seems to be people of all 

ages not just young people – also 

a lot of business people. I really 

don’t understand what is that 

important – nothing is. 

I am also a passenger in a car a 

lot as the husband likes to drive 

– I feel like I should have my 

camera on constantly as I see so 

many people texting even going 

100km/h – they weave all over 

the road, then are stationary 

when the lights change. 

Anyway all go for changes. 

LAURA’S recovery is going 

well, however, now she has a 

nasty cold so family-fun-time 

continues, with added sniffling 

and groaning. 

Before the dreaded lurgy took 

hold here Laura had some time 

out with a friend and fellow mum 

while I took Vittoria to the movies. 

Alone. 

We have taken her to the movies 

before, but when she was a 

proper wee baby. With her being 

a full-on toddler, I was worried 

about how it would go. 

The session I picked had a 

lot going in my favour. It was a 

special screening for parents with 

small kids and we were watching 

Pokemon Detective Pikachu. 

Bright colours, fun characters. 

Attention-grabbing, with a 

healthy amount of adult humour 

and nostalgic value for a former 

Pokemon Red aficionado. In 

theory, good for both of us. 

We managed to get there the 

perfect amount of late to watch 

only the better trailers. 

The start time also lined up 

with Vittoria’s lunchtime, which 

was great as she is food obsessed. 

It will give you angelic behaviour 

and blissful silence for as long as 

the food lasts. 

Vittoria happily sat, had her 

lunch and was watching so 

cheerfully that I started mentally 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

FUN-TIME: This level of 

concentration lasted about 

30sec into the movie. 

planning regular daddy/daughter 

movie dates. 

That lasted until the dialogue 

turned to some fairly key story 

points. At that moment Vittoria 

got up, jumped off her back row 

seat and climbed through the seat 

in front. 

Now I’m trying to give Vittoria 

as much freedom to explore as 

possible but I’m lucky the theatre 

was pretty empty as she just 

booked it down the line of seats, 

ran down the stairs and explored. 

With offers of popcorn and 

other snacks, I managed to limit 

her laps around the theatre to the 

Local

manageable and enjoy the whole 

film. 

It wasn’t until the climactic final 

battle scene that she turned it 

up to “oh no”. 

She went down the stairs, 

smiled at a family to gain their 

trust then snuck down the row 

behind their seats and pinched 

their entire popcorn box through 

the seat. 

I retrieved it and gave it back 

to the family – who were very 

understanding, they had children 

too and I imagine most parents 

have been through snack-thievery. 

All in all, an excellent outing. 

Ten out of ten, would do again.

as possible.

bookings 

open 

What animal features outside the Lincoln Library? 

Not sure? It’s one of the questions in Eye Spy Selwyn, part of this year’s KidsFest. Eye Spy 

Selwyn is among a host of new events for KidsFest these winter holidays. Similar to the 100 

Days of Summer challenge, it will encourage young people to get out and about, practise jokes, 

complete challenges and answer questions all over the district. 

KidsFest is back for the winter holidays and bookings have opened at kidsfest.co.nz. 

Events will be run at Selwyn Libraries and Selwyn Aquatic Centre and across the district, including 

a moviemania showing of Ferdinand the Bull and the first ever Discomania in Tai Tapu. 

Families are encouraged to get in quick to register their children for their preferred activities, with 

perennial favourites such as the high ropes challenge always booking out quickly. 

Children and families are also encouraged to start preparing early for the popular Kids Market 

10am–12pm on 11 July. With the second-hand sale attracting hundreds of applications from 

young people wanting stalls, people will need to get in quick to register. Family and friends are 

encouraged to clear their diaries and make sure they can get along to grab some great bargains. 

For more information visit selwyn.govt.nz/kidsfest, or pick up a KidsFest booklet from a Selwyn 

Library, the Lincoln Event Centre, Rolleston Community Centre or Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

Local body elections coming in October 

This October, Selwyn residents will again have the opportunity to vote in local elections. 

Voters will be able to vote for councillors in their local ward, and for the mayor of Selwyn. In Malvern, 

elections will also be held for community board members. As part of the local elections, voters will also 

choose members on the Canterbury District Health Board and Environment Canterbury (Regional Council). 

Local elections happen every three years, and are an opportunity for voters to elect their representatives 

on the Council. Local representation is important because councils look after things which residents 

interact with and use daily such as roads, footpaths, waste management and drinking water. Councils 

also control local parks, libraries and swimming pools, while working to enhance the district’s culture 

and economic development. 

Voting papers will be posted out to eligible voters from 20 September and must be posted, or hand 

delivered to the Council, by 12pm on 12 October 2019. Anyone enrolled as a parliamentary elector will 

automatically be on council’s electoral roll as a residential elector. If you need to enrol or update existing 

name or address details on the parliamentary electoral roll, you can do so at any Post Shop, online at 

www.elections.org.nz or by phoning 0800 36 76 56. 

If you pay rates on property in Selwyn but live outside the district, you may be 

eligible to enrol as a ratepayer elector. The ratepayer enrolment form can be 

downloaded from www.selwyn.govt.nz/elections. 

The election is also an opportunity for people to consider standing for council 

or the community board. For information, download the candidate information 

handbook at www.selwyn.govt.nz/elections. 

Changes for Council building a 

sign of growth 

Visitors to the Council headquarters in Rolleston will notice some 

changes over the coming months. 

Construction work will begin on Monday 17 June to build a new 

customer services space and an office extension. The Council and 

the building will remain open for business as usual through this time. 

The project, signalled in the Council’s 2018-2028 Long-Term Plan, will 

include a large new customer services area right at the front entrance. 

This will bring together the existing customer services teams, which 

were previously located in different areas in the building. 

The building project reflects the growth of the district and the increase 

in Council staff numbers required to meet the changing needs of its 

residents, Business Relationship manager Stephen Hill says. 

“The feedback we’ve had from people is that our customer services 

teams do a really great job, but putting them together in one area 

will make it simpler for people to find who they need. 

“It also gives us a good opportunity to look at our systems and 

make sure we’re giving people the most timely, efficient and 

accurate service we can.” 

All Council services will be operating as usual, but the main 

entrance doors will be out of action because of building work, so 

people will enter the building through the western staff entrance. 

Car parking will be available in this area. 

“We hope customers will bear with us while we make these 

improvements. Many services such as rates, dog registration and 

consent applications can also be completed through the Council’s 

website selwyn.govt.nz,” Mr Hill says. 

The new customer services area will be built in the space currently 

occupied by the Mayor, Chief Executive and their support staff, 

who will relocate to a new extension on the Rolleston Drive side of 

the building. 

Seismic strengthening of the Council chamber is also being 

done, so it meets the requirements to operate as an Emergency 

Operations Centre. 

The Council is aiming to have the new customer services space 

open by early November with the entire project planned to take 

about eight months. The public will be kept updated via the 

Council’s website and Facebook page. 

Malvern and Ellesmere recycling 

days prove popular 

Two community recycling drop-off days proved popular with 

Malvern and Ellesmere residents. 

The two days in April provided local residents with an alternative 

drop-off location for the garden waste and some types of 

recyclables. The events were managed by Council contractors 

with help from the Malvern Lions and the Ellesmere Heritage Park. 

Donations have been passed on to these groups in recognition of 

their assistance on the drop-off days. 

Over the two days, 220 vehicles dropped off nearly 24,000kg of 

organic waste which will now be composted, as well as 6,400kg of 

scrap metal, over 150 tyres and 50 TVs for recycling. 

Council Solid Waste manager Andrew Boyd said the popularity of 

the event was good to see and the Council is looking to increase 

the number of different recycling streams accepted at these 

community drop-off days. “It is encouraging to see so many 

residents turn up and dispose of these materials in a way that will 

benefit the environment, and to be able to support local groups at 

the same time.” 

The next drop-off days are in Ellesmere on Saturday 2 November 

and in Malvern on Saturday 23 November.

SELWYN TIMES 

Brett goes from first-five to selling 

• By Gordon Findlater 

FLAIR: Stephen Brett sells Kiwi-style pies in France. 

STEPHEN BRETT was once 

regarded as the Crusaders next 

great first-five before taking his 

talents overseas. 

Now, he’s reconnected with 

two of his former Christchurch 

Boys’ High School teammates 

and is helping take a Kiwi 

favourite to Europe. 

Brett made 39 appearances 

for the Crusaders between 2006 

and 2009 scoring four tries and 

amassing 164 points. 

After hanging up his boots 

last year, he’s now living in 

Narbonne, France, and owns the 

distribution rights to NZ Craft 

Pies. 

The company was started in 

Sweden by Brett’s former CBHS 

teammate Tom Simpson. 

“I started three months ago 

and business is booming. I’ve got 

myself into a few restaurants and 

a few stadiums,” he said. 

“There’s so many tourists I 

know over here and the first 

thing they do when they get 

back home is have a pie because 

you don’t have that opportunity 

here, so there’s a big market for it 

. . . the French don’t really know 

pies, so I’m just trying to get 

them into the French locals, but 

we’re getting good comments 

from them.” 

They have also recently 

expanded into Germany with 

•Great players have come and gone from the Crusaders 

over the years. Selwyn Times continues to catch up with 

some of them. 

the help of Josh Keys, who also 

played with Brett and Simpson 

at CBHS. 

Brett got his first taste of 

rugby at four-years-old with 

Sydenham. 

However, he soon switched 

codes and joined the Woolston 

Rams rugby league club as his 

grandfather was the president. 

He comes from strong rugby 

pedigree – his mother, Lesley, 

played three tests for the Black 

Ferns and his step-father, Victor 

Simpson, was a stalwart of the 

Canterbury midfield who played 

two tests for the All Blacks in 

1985. 

His father Steve Brett is also a 

former New Zealand volleyball 

rep and played in the National 

Basketball League in the 1980s 

for Palmerston North. 

Brett played league until his 

teenage years when he returned 

to union at CBHS. 

He won Press Cups with the 

first XV in 2002 and 2003 and 

continued a tradition of the 

school producing stand-out 

first-fives during the 1990s and 

2000s, including the likes of 

Andrew Mehrtens, Dan Carter, 

Aaron Mauger and Colin Slade. 

“I wouldn’t have a clue why 

they produced so many, I think 

the first-fives just want to go to 

that school . . . thing is I’m the 

only one out of the lot who never 

became an All Black,” said Brett. 

Following secondary school, 

Brett quickly progressed 

through the ranks and was 

playing NPC for Canterbury just 

a year out of CBHS. 

In 2006, he made his 

Crusaders debut from the bench 

before going on to make a name 

for himself with Canterbury. 

Brett’s most memorable 

season with the Crusaders came 

in 2007 during Dan Carter’s 

sabbatical, which saw him play 

12 games and take the kicking 

duties for a large chunk of the 

campaign.

Kiwi-style craft pies in France 

In his early Crusaders days, 

Brett shared an apartment with 

former school friends before 

moving in with Sean Maitland 

and Kahn Fotuali’i near Rugby 

Park. 

“We used to ride our little 50cc 

motorbikes to training,” he said. 

“Back in those days we were all 

single, so we went out for dinner 

more often than we cooked.” 

Following the 2009 Crusaders 

campaign, Brett signed with the 

Blues for two seasons. 

“For me to get a better look 

into the All Blacks I needed to 

get out of DC’s [Dan Carter] 

shadow. I had some chats with 

Pat Lam and he proposed a really 

good thing and it was something 

I needed at that point in my 

career,” said Brett. 

In his final season with the 

Blues in 2011, Brett helped 

them to the Super Rugby semifinal. 

Since then the Auckland 

franchise hasn’t made a playoff 

appearance. Any staunch 

Crusaders fan could also point 

out that Brett was probably the 

last decent first-five to grace a 

Blues jersey. 

However, Brett’s Blues days 

ended in bizarre fashion. 

He was rushed to hospital after 

cutting his foot open at an endof-season 

party at Ali Williams’ 

house. Brett came out of a spa 

pool and stood on a glass. He 

required a surgical exploration, 

wash out and repair of the 

damaged toes. 

Soon after Brett moved to 

Japan to join Toyota Verblitz on 

a two-year deal, which ended any 

hopes of an All Blacks cap. 

“I probably shouldn’t have 

left when I did to be honest. I 

probably did leave a little bit

early, but I got offered a contract 

I couldn’t resist,” he said. 

Brett moved to France in 2013 

and had stints with Narbonne, 

Bayonne, Lyon and Clermont. 

“I fell out of rugby when I was 

playing over here if I’m honest 

. . . back home there’s no 

pressure, you just play for the 

love of the game and your mates. 

Over here if you lose a couple 

of games you’ve got the club 

presidents coming down on 

you.” 

After retiring from rugby 

with Narbonne last year, he has 

become the club’s video analyst 

and hopes to become a full-time 

coach, working towards a degree 

in September.

Four generations of Jordans call Lincoln rugby home 

• By Jacob Page 

FOR FOUR generations, the 

Jordan surname has been 

synonymous with the Lincoln 

Rugby Club. 

The family recently added 

talented loose-forward, Cameron 

to their heritage at the club, a 

fact which has grandfather, Tori, 

beaming with pride. 

“It took some convincing to 

get him here because he followed 

his mates to Rolleston but it’s 

something.” 

Tori’s father, Bill was the 

first life member of the club, a 

stalwart of the senior team in 

the 1930s and an accomplished 

referee who was considered a top 

referee in Ellesmere. 

Tori and his brothers Steven 

and Meynell each played 

Ellesmere junior rugby in the 

1950s. 

Tori’s sons Graeme and Daryl 

each played senior rugby for 

the club and now Cameron has 

made his debut for the senior 

team earlier this season. 

Cameron is the only forward 

in the bunch with Graeme a 

winger, Daryl a centre, Tori a 

winger and Steven a halfback 

while Bill and Meynell were first 

five-eighths. 

“Dad was rugby mad, when 

we first started here, there was 

one field with a tin shed and 

mum (Mary) used to do all the 

afternoon teas and he was right 

behind him all the way,” Tori 

said. 

PIONEER: Bill Jordan was the first life 

member of the Lincoln Rugby Club, where 

four generations of his family have played 

their rugby. 

“We’re all sport mad, it was 

tennis football and cricket all the 

time. 

Tori played senior cricket for 

Lincoln when he was at high 

school. 

“Just because they were short,” 

he said. 

Graeme, who now lives in 

Queensland coached a young 

Quade Cooper at the Logan club. 

The family is also linked to

current Crusaders fullback, 

Will Jordan, with Tori’s father’s 

brother being Will’s greatgrandfather. 

“It certainly makes Crusaders’ 

games more exciting for us,” Tori 

said. 

Bill won the Coleman 

Shield in 1934, 1938 and 1939 

and 1940 while Graeme won it in 

1985. “It’s quite the legacy,” Tori 

said.

GT-Line gives the Kia brand extra bite 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

KIA MOTORS New Zealand is 

doing everything it can to raise 

the profile of its ever-increasing 

line-up. 

Amidst its range of sport utility 

vehicles and passenger cars is new 

branding, the GT-Line is stretching 

further into the company’s mix. 

GT-Line can be found in new 

Cerato and Sportage, and those 

variants generally have more 

features and a slant towards 

higher performance – engine and 

suspension. 

One other model stands out 

with its GT-Line badge, and that 

is the Rio, a smallish hatchback 

which has already made a name 

for itself in the market for its 

practicality and economy. 

The Rio lands here in entry-level 

form at $23,490 which makes it an 

affordable package and there are 

higher grade options depending 

on how you would like it specced. 

Topping the range is a $28,990 

GT-Line which has an engine 

totally devoid from that of its stablemates. 

Instead of the tried and 

tested 1.4-litre naturally-aspirated 

four-cylinder unit, the GT-Line 

gets a turbocharged three-potter 

which is squarely aimed at Suzuki’s 

$28,500 Swift Sport, in terms of its 

position in the market. 

WIN 

$1000 * 

TOWARDS YOUR 

wardrobe 

TRANSFORMATION 

The 1-litre engine is considerably 

more powerful than the base 

model unit, yet it is also more 

economical and, being lightweight 

in design, it promotes an 

agile handling feel. 

Power is rated at a healthy 

88kW and 171Nm, the turbo 

boost ushering in a long torque 

curve – 1500rpm to 4000rpm. 

Maximum power arrives at 

6000rpm, but bottom end 

strength is strong enough to meet 

the red-line without becoming 

breathless. 

For the three-cylinder novice 

you will firstly notice the harmonics 

associated with the design, it 

appears lumpy and doesn’t always 

seem balanced, that’s not really 

the case it just seems that way. 

However, it does have a characteristic 

tone and that is manifested 

through the cabin, that’s not a bad 

thing, I like the sound and the 

feeling it generates, it adds to the 

sporty sensation Kia is trying to 

achieve with the GT-Line. 

Drive is channelled through a 

seven-speed, dual clutch transmission, 

therein lies another 

notable sensation, there isn’t total 

harmony between the engine and 

gearbox, there are times when the 

two don’t feel thoroughly connected, 

notably when entering or 

leaving reverse. 

That aside, in all other circumstances 

it works sweetly, shifts are 

quick and combine to promote 

the feel you would expect from a 

car wearing a GT badge. 

Performance is quite lively given 

the engine has a displacement 

of just 998cc. It will launch the 

Rio to 100km/h from a standstill 

in around 10sec and will happily 

shift down for a highway overtake 

in 6.6sec (80km/h to 120km/h). 

The Rio in this form hasn’t lost 

sight of its purpose, it is still the 

economical fuel miser of its counterparts 

- the LX, EX and Limited. 

Kia NZ gives the turbo Rio 

a 5.4-litre per 100km (52mpg) 

combined cycle average. 

Unfortunately, my time on the 

highway was thwarted by a puncture 

and I didn’t do anywhere 

near the amount of kilometres I 

would have preferred. However, I 

can report that the Rio GT-Line 

has spirited behaviour and tidy

handling manners. 

Kia has uprated the suspension 

quite noticeably, the GT-Line sits 

very firm on the road and doesn’t 

absorb much in the way of road 

ripples. A bit of that has to do 

with the low profile of the tyres 

(205/45 x 17in) and the restricting 

nature of the tube beam rear 

axle that prohibits rear wheel 

freedom. However, the handling 

benefits are at the forefront, the 

Rio GT-Line has sporty dynamics, 

it steers sweetly into a corner 

and powers out with composure. 

Directional accuracy is sharp and 

body balance over the suspension 

is well contained thanks to the 

firming. 

As sporty as the Rio GT-line 

suggests, it is still the practical 

family car, the five-door layout is 

appealing and the levels of comfort 

aren’t overly compromised, 

bearing in mind that at just over 

4m, the Rio as a range isn’t big on 

space,however, it does make good 

use of its compact proportions and 

will satisfy with its level of comfort. 

Kia in New Zealand knows it 

has to compete hard, in all of its 

markets there are other brands 

with tempting product. 

I’m not sure the Rio GT-Line 

has the spark to pip the Swift 

Sport, but I do know is that Kia 

NZ will be aggressive with its 

marketing, and it will certainly 

sell to those who want something 

just a little different in their performance

Setting up winter feed crops to 

minimise environment impacts 

Farmers are being encouraged to consider 

the environmental impacts of their wintering 

systems as they begin transitioning livestock 

onto winter feed crops. 

Setting up feed paddocks in a way that 

protects soil, nutrient and water resources 

is good for business, animal welfare and 

the environment, says Beef + Lamb New 

Zealand. 

When planning for winter, careful 

thought needs to be given to: 

1. Paddock/Grazing Management 

When you’re standing at the gate 

considering how best to feed your crop, here 

are some factors to consider: 

• Feed planning - How many animals will 

this crop feed and for how long. Consider 

using the B+LNZ FeedSmart app. This 

app brings together a raft of variables to 

give farmers instant information on: the 

nutritional requirements of different classes 

of livestock, feed values and feed allocation. 

This app is especially helpful to estimate the 

feed requirements for sheep and cattle at 

any time of the year and to help estimate the 

allocation of your winter crop. To find out 

more go to: www.feedsmart.co.nz 

• Exclude stock from waterways and 

Critical Source Areas (CSAs) - Create an 

ungrazed (preferably uncropped) buffer 

zone of crop between the livestock and any 

waterways. 3-5 metres is a good starting 

point but this should increase with slope 

and soil type risk. Identify areas that might 

channel overland flow (Critical Source 

Areas or CSAs) of soil nutrients and faecal 

matter to water, fence these areas off during 

grazing to reduce the risk of contaminating 

waterways. CSA’s can be grazed quickly and 

lightly when soil and weather conditions 

allow. 

• Trough placement and supplementary 

feeding - Consider portable troughs that 

you can move with breaks for stock drinking 

water to help keep stock away from CSAs 

and to reduce soil damage. Supplementary 

feeding (hay and baleage) needs to be placed 

away from CSAs, waterways and ideally fed 

in drier parts of the paddock. Supplementary 

feed should be put into the paddock prior to 

grazing. This will help limit stock movement 

and heavy vehicles on wet soils, helping to 

reduce damage to the crop and soil. 

2. Strategic grazing 

• Fence placement – On a sloping 

paddock, fence across the slope and start 

grazing at the top of the paddock, so the 

standing crop acts as a filter. Or, if there 

is a waterway present, start grazing at the 

opposite end of the paddock to the waterway. 

• Make breaks “long and narrow” – 

Research shows that the crop will be utilised 

more efficiently by cattle. 

• Back fence – Regularly back fence stock 

off grazed breaks to help minimise pugging 

damage and reduce run off risk. 

• Matching stock to the paddock and 

crop - Consider using high-risk paddocks 

for grazing of lighter stock (sheep) while 

lower risk paddocks can be used for grazing 

heavier stock (cattle) or deer. 

• Animal welfare – Is there appropriate 

shelter and somewhere to lie down? If 

necessary use a stand off area or otherwise 

provide temporary bedding to allow stock 

the opportunity to lie and rest on firm, dry 

ground. 

A newly-developed winter grazing 

workshop, which connects good 

management practice guidelines with 

practical on-farm application, is being 

rolled-out throughout the country. Look 

at the Events section of the Beef + Lamb 

NZ website or contact your local B+LNZ

National plan created 

to eradicate M. bovis 

The three partners working to eradicate Mycoplasma bovis (M. 

bovis) have reaffirmed their commitment to achieving eradication and 

support farmers through the eradication process. 

The Ministry for Primary Industries, DairyNZ and Beef + Lamb 

New Zealand released the 2019 M. bovis National Plan at a meeting 

with farmers in Hamilton today. 

The plan sets out three clear goals: to eradicate Mycoplasma 

bovis from New Zealand; to reduce the impact of the disease and 

the eradication programme for everyone affected; and to leave New 

Zealand’s biosecurity system stronger. 

M. bovis programme Director Geoff Gwyn said that the National 

Plan is an important step in making sure that eradication is successful, 

and that farmers are properly supported the whole way. 

“The eradication effort is on track, but there is still a lot of hard work 

to get done. There will be more farms put under movement restrictions, 

and more farms that need to be depopulated,” says Gwyn. 

“Finding out that your farm might be, or is, affected must be 

incredibly hard news to receive, and we know that the process to get 

clear of M. bovis causes hardship for farmers and their families, and 

interruption to their business. 

“We want to provide as much support and assistance as we can, as 

well as working to continually improve the processes that farmers have 

to get through to get clear of M. bovis. 

“No country has attempted to eradicate M. bovis before, so there is 

a lot we are learning and developing as we go. The farmer and public 

meetings we’re holding over the next month are an important way for 

us to hear from farmers about what is working and areas that can be 

improved.” 

DairyNZ’s Chief Executive Dr Tim Mackle says M. bovis has created 

challenges for many farmers, both dairy and beef – not only those 

affected by the disease, but for all farmers that have increased their 

biosecurity measures on farm. 

“The alternative – to let this disease 

spread throughout the dairy and beef 

stock – would have been a serious 

challenge to the way we farm, and the 

ongoing costs would have been significantly 

higher,” says Dr Mackle. 

“We believe maintaining a collaborative approach 

to eradication is the best option for all farmers. By sitting 

at the table, we can ensure that dairy farmers are getting value for 

money from the eradication programme, costs are scrutinised, 

performance is monitored, and that dairy farmer’s views are 

represented to government.” 

Beef + Lamb New Zealand Chief Executive Sam McIvor says: 

“Although we are fortunate that M. bovis has had a less direct impact 

on beef farmers, the risks to our friends and neighbours with dairy 

farms means Mycoplasma bovis is a challenge that we can’t ignore. 

“We will continue to sit at the table with government and DairyNZ 

to ensure this eradication programme has the greatest chance of 

success, and that farmers are represented every step of the way.” 

As part of the programme’s commitment to continual 

improvement, it is updating how it reports the number of affected 

properties. They will report the total number of Confirmed 

Properties, Active Properties, and Cleared Properties as the 

most accurate and transparent way on the scale to report and 

progress towards eradication.

RISINGHOLM COMMUNITY CENTRE 

SELWYN TIMES 

Cherished homestead 

restored and ready to re-open 

A cherished community resource in 

Opawa, closed since the February 2011 

earthquake, is set to re-open this week, 

fully restored. 

Risingholme, the historic homestead in 

Cholmondeley Avenue, was badly damaged 

in the earthquake, and then received 

further devastating damage in a fire on 

Queen’s Birthday weekend, 2016. 

The restoration work, which started 

in January 2018, is now complete, and 

tomorrow Christchurch Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel will officially reopen the homestead, 

handing it back to the community, which 

has been waiting eagerly to use and enjoy 

it again. 

Registered with the Historic Places Trust 

as a Category 2 historic place and now in 

its 75th year, this gracious building set in 

beautiful park surroundings was purchased 

and gifted to the city council in 1943 by 

John McKenzie, founder of the McKenzies 

retail stores, for the “health, amusement 

and instruction of the public”. 

That resulted in the ongoing development 

of educational and leisure classes, covering 

a wide diversity of topics and interests, 

which over the years have drawn people of 

all ages and backgrounds. 

Director of Risingholme Community 

Centre, the not-for-profit organisation that 

runs the Adult and Community Education 

classes, Wendel Karati, says people attend 

classes for many reasons, perhaps following 

trauma, wanting to learn a new skill, gain 

employment or to enjoy the company of 

like-minded people as they learn. 

“Coming to a class can help restore selfconfidence 

and bring new hope for people,” 

she says. 

During the closure of Risingholme 

Homestead and Hall the Risingholme 

Community Centre has continued to 

operate from 99 Hawford Road, directly 

behind Risingholme Park. Classes have 

also been held at Riccarton High School, 

Hornby High School and Girls’ High, as 

well as at other community facilities around 

the city. 

The full programme of classes is listed on 

the Risingholme website and enrolments 

can be completed on the website or by 

calling into the Risingholme Community 

Centre office, 22 Cholmondeley Avenue, 

Opawa. 

The hall at Risingholme has also 

been repaired and is again available for 

community groups to hire. 

OPEN DAY 

Saturday 8th June 

10am - 2pm 

This Saturday, Risingholme is 

holding an open day for people to 

come and see the newly restored 

homestead and find out about the 

classes. 

“There has been huge community 

interest in the restoration, and this 

will be an opportunity for people to 

come and celebrate the reopening of 

Risingholme,” Wendel says. 

The open day will run from 10am- 

2pm. Refreshments will be available 

for purchase, including soup in a 

special commemorative cup that has 

been created in Risingholme’s pottery 

studio.

Ornamental kale for colour through winter 

• By Henri Ham 


FLOWER GARDENS tend to 

look a little dull at this time of the 

year. 

But there are some plants that 

thrive once your summer annuals 

pass their best. Ornamental kale 

– an annual grown for its pretty 

waved leaves and bright winter 

colours – is the perfect plant to 

insert some liveliness into your 

garden right now. 

Ornamental kale grows in 

large, low rosettes, like prizes in 

your garden. It’s a compact plant 

that closely resembles a cabbage. 

While you can eat it, it’s mostly 

grown for its colourful leaves. But 

if you’re really keen on tasting it, 

you’ll find ornamental kale has a 

very bitter taste. 

What I like about this 

type of kale is that it’s bold, 

striking and, (best of all) 

requires little care in your garden. 

And, once established this fun 

kale can deliver a good few 

months of colour to your winter 

garden. 

There are a variety of 

ornamental kales around. Most 

have symmetrical green outer 

leaves and purple rosey or creamy 

white centres. Some have wider 

cabbage-like leaves, others tight 

frilly edges – similar to endive 

lettuce. 

The most popular type is 

pigeon kale. It comes in both 

purple and white varieties and has 

a true rosette appearance. 

Ideal for garden pots, borders 

and edging, you might have 

seen ornamental kale before in 

large beds of town gardens or 

in the middle of traffic islands. 

When you plant ornamental 

kale seedlings on mass (about 

20cm apart) they develop a lovely 

packed-in feel – really carpeting 

a garden. 

Once you’ve got your seedlings, 

find a sunny well-drained spot in 

CARPET-LIKE: 

The more sun 

your kale gets 

the brighter 

the colours will 

be. 

your garden. Dig holes around 

5cm deep, 20cm apart and gently 

place the seedlings in. Lightly 

massage the root systems to 

loosen them up. 

If you’re not sure what to plant 

alongside your kale, ornamental 

grasses (carex) are an ideal easycare 

companion. 

The more sun your kale gets, 

the brighter colours you’ll be 

rewarded with. But don’t think 

about planting them out too 

early. 

Ornamental kale is a true 

winter plant that needs the cooler 

night temperatures to thrive. 

Once planted, give an initial 

feed of liquid fertiliser. But after 

this, just stick to water. Too much 

fertiliser can cause the plant to 

grow an elongated stem under the 

rosette, which will detract from 

its pretty, compact appearance. 

In around six weeks you’ll start 

to see colourful kale developing 

in your garden beds. 

Happy gardening.

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 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

However, the public has li tle

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

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

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 


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 Mora said he wasn’t sure if

“I’d like to think so because the

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 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.”

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 

happy,” 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

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

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


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.

Can I offer on more than 

one property at a time? 

Some people fall in love at first sight 

when they’re looking to buy a property, 

but many like to keep their options until 

the last minute. This is understandable, 

because it can be scary signing up to such 

a major financial commitment if you think 

something better might come along. But it 

can also be hard to know what to do if you’re 

not sure if your offer on a property will be 

accepted and you are worried about missing 

out on the other ones on your wishlist. 

“Every time you make an offer on a 

property you are saying you are committed 

to buying it, subject to whatever conditions 

you include in the offer,” says Kevin 

Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real 

Estate Authority (REA). “These conditions 

might be things like getting a satisfactory 

property inspection, or confirming 

insurance, or having finance approved. It 

would be extremely unusual to add ‘we want 

the right to change our minds in case we see 

a property that we like more’.” 

Remember that a sale and purchase 

agreement – the document that you and the 

seller sign that lays out all the particulars 

of the property and any chattels being sold 

with it, the price you are prepared to pay and 

the date that it will take place – is a legally 

binding contract, Lampen-Smith says. 

“Whether you can make offers on 

other properties will depend on how your 

conditions are written. This is why it’s 

crucial to get legal advice before making the 

offer, which becomes legally binding as soon 

as it’s accepted. If you offer on a property 

while you’re waiting to hear back on another 

one, you could end up with two accepted 

offers and two legally binding contracts.” 

The REA says a seller doesn’t have to 

respond to your offer within a certain time 

frame unless there is a strict deadline, such 

as in a tender or deadline sale. If you are 

making an offer on a property that is for 

sale by negotiation or by advertised price, 

and you think you might want to keep your 

options open, talk to your lawyer about 

adding an expiry time to it. 

“Alternatively, if the deadline for offers has 

not passed and you have a change of heart, 

you could consider asking the agent about 

withdrawing your offer,” Lampen-Smith 

says. “In this situation we recommend you 

have the agent confirm in writing that your 

offer has been withdrawn. 

“Keep in mind too that making a 

conditional offer on a property, such as 

having finance approved, will not necessarily 

provide you with a ‘get out of jail free card’ 

if you subsequently decide you don’t want 

to go through with the purchase. In this 

situation you could be required to prove 

you weren’t able to get finance. The better 

option is simply to arrange for your offer to 

be withdrawn promptly.” 

Buying a property is a 

complex process whether 

you’re doing it for the first 

time or not 

Buying a property is a complex process 

whether you’re doing it for the first time 

or not – but it’s important to take every 

decision seriously. If you’re finding it hard 

to keep going on your property search, or 

to commit to making an offer, it might be 

helpful to remind yourself about why you 

want to buy a home and to identify your 

must-haves. Writing these things down can 

help keep you on track and make it easier to 

stay focused.

selling property, check out settled.govt.nz. 

Yaldhurst 483 Yaldhurst Road 

The options are endless 

Look beyond the 'desks and books' of this once residential school and see the multiple opportunities (with the 

appropriate consents) that this 2.24 hectare property presents - campground, tiny house/mobile home hub, 

education centre or short-term accommodation facility. And it's all so close to the airport and supermarkets. Once 

The McKenzie Residential School, this property was part of Roydon Lodge, owned by the late Sir John and Lady 

May McKenzie. Developers, investors or buyers will appreciate the massive potential here that includes the original 

two-storey homestead, additional buildings (including an accommodation block and a recreation building) and 

grounds (including covered swimming pool and playground). Let your vision become a reality!

Disclosure rules 

when selling a home 

Real estate advertisements are designed 

to make every property look like a dream 

buy. That’s why they gloss over the negative 

aspects and linger on the good points, 

wanting you to be drawn in by the sundrenched 

location rather than be put off by 

lack of garaging. It’s no crime to gloss over 

a property’s quirks, but lying by omission 

or design about more serious matters is 

not allowed. If you do this when selling 

your property you may be at risk of being 

sued by the purchaser. 

When you’re ready to sell your property 

it’s a good idea to get legal advice about 

your obligations before you sign an agency 

agreement. Most of these agreements, 

which set out the terms and conditions 

of your contract with the real estate 

agent, require you to confirm that you are 

unaware of any undisclosed defects in the 

property and that you haven’t withheld any 

information about it. 

As a seller, you must also confirm 

that your property has all the necessary 

consents and code compliance certificates 

for any building work. Any outstanding 

consents, including ones that involve any 

works at a neighbour’s property, should be 

disclosed to the agent. 

This is important for several reasons. 

Licensed real estate agents have clear 

obligations when it comes to disclosure. 

They must not mislead a seller or 

a potential buyer, or withhold any 

information. While it’s not up to the 

agent to uncover any hidden defects in a 

property, they must tell any prospective 

buyers what they know. 

Under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, 

if licensed real estate agents suspect that a 

property may have a defect then they are 

obliged to ask the seller about it, or advise 

potential buyers of any risks. For example, 

if a property is next door to a proposed 

new development, or if it’s in an area that’s 

been subject to flooding, the agent must 

tell prospective buyers rather than turning 

a blind eye. 

If your property may be prone to 

weathertightness issues thanks to its 

age or cladding, then the agent may 

have to disclose this potential risk to 

prospective buyers. If it doesn’t have any 

weathertightness problems it may be 

worth getting this confirmed in an expert 

report by a qualified building inspector 

who has professional indemnity insurance, 

understands the strict legal requirements 

of their role and carries out their work 

in accordance with the New Zealand 

Property Inspection Standard. This will 

help make the sale process as efficient as 

possible. 

If you know there are issues with the 

property, whether it’s something small like 

a garage door not working properly, or a 

bigger deal like an unconsented deck, it’s 

best to discuss them with the agent you are 

working with. They can help you decide 

how to manage the problem, whether that 

means fixing it, or disclosing it to potential 

buyers. However, a licensed real estate 

agent must not disclose any problems with 

your property to buyers without getting 

your consent first. If a seller doesn’t agree 

on a disclosure, the agent is required to 

stop working for them rather than disclose 

any defects without consent. 

These rules offer more protection to 

buyers than the traditional attitude of 

‘caveat emptor’ (buyer beware), which 

assumed that the seller would always 

know more than the buyer and any sale 

was at the buyer’s risk. However, buyers 

should always do their own research 

about a property before signing a sale 

and purchase agreement. Buyers should 

also ask the agent about anything they are 

concerned about, no matter how trivial it 

may seem. It’s far better to get an answer 

upfront than find out when it’s too late.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Make a list 

There are lots of decisions to be made when building 

a new home. Most need to be made before plans are 

lodged for consent and construction gets underway. 

Housing companies usually guide their clients through 

this process. 

Whether working with a housing company or 

calling on the assistance of an architect or architectural 

draftsperson there will be a lot of decisions. The process 

will be easier for all concerned, if you have done your 

homework first. 

Carry out your own research on building trends and 

choices. This will help you get a feel for what is available. 

Before deciding on your builder, you will want to find 

out whether the company will require you to choose 

from their existing library of house designs and a set 

range of features and fittings, or whether you will have 

the freedom to have a more bespoke plan and to choose 

any feature available on the market. 

As you research, keep records of what you might like 

to have in your own home. Initially, you will be idea 

gathering. Take photos of aspects within house designs 

which appeal to you along with the fittings you like. 

List down the key points you would like in your 

home: 

• number of bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms; 

• size of garage e.g. double or triple; 

• open plan living, or one or more separated living 

spaces; 

• kitchen dynamics including whether a pantry or 

scullery is a must; 

• wardrobes – size and type e.g. walk-in robe in master 

bedroom; 

• office or study nook needs; 

• laundry separate or in the garage; 

• cladding and roofing types; 

• storage facilities within the home including cupboards, 

storerooms and attic trusses; 

• type of heating and whether under floor 

heating, a ducted system or a log fire; 

• double or thermal low-emissivity windows; 

• spaciousness of entryway; and 

• indoor/outdoor flow. 

Think of each room in turn and consider 

your family requirements, noting down 

features you definitely want. 

Consider also fittings such as: 

• the exterior doors; 

• style of door and handles; 

• window catches; 

• kitchen joinery and handles; 

• bench top options; 

• positioning of sink, oven, microwave, 

dishwasher and refrigerator within the kitchen; 

• bathroom fittings such as the type of vanity, shower 

and bath; 

• size of windows and how to capitalise on the sun; 

• positioning of rooms to allow family interaction and 

also quiet areas; 

• whether to have a deck or patio; and 

• type of seal for your driveway and paths. 

Before sitting down with the designer, ensure you 

have completed your research and have a clear idea 

of what you want, remembering your final choices 

will be influenced by your budget, size of section, and 

product availability. There may also be design limitations 

influenced by building regulations and construction 

capabilities. 

Researching and making a list will help prepare you 

for the many decisions you will need to make in a short 

space of time. 

Research building trends & choices. 

Do you want open plan living 

or more separation? 

Consider appointment of 

kitchen features.

How to stay warm and dry 

Kiwi homes contain hidden health 

dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy 

homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can 

make a home more saleable as well as a 

healthier place to live. 

Many older homes are cold and damp 

and sometimes have other hazards such 

as lead-based paint and asbestos. 

There are a number of steps to take to 

make your home more healthy. 

They include behavioural change, 

the cheapest way to make your home 

healthier is to open windows to ventilate. 

If you’re out a lot, but want to increase 

natural ventilation buy some security 

window stays or locks that allow you to 

leave windows slightly open when you’re 

out. This can be a lot cheaper to buy and 

run than high-tech systems. 

If nothing else, insulate the ceiling and 

under the house. The Energy Efficiency 

and Conservation Authority (EECA) has 

information on its website about funding 

grants available through the Warm Up 

New Zealand campaign. 

By 1 July 2019 all rental properties 

must have ceiling and underfloor 

insulation Ventilation systems move 

moisture from the air making the home 

healthier and feel warmer. 

Adding a sheet of heavy polythene 

beneath a home can provide an efficient 

moisture barrier beneath piled homes. 

A heat pump will warm and ventilate 

rooms in the winter and cool them in the 

summer. Watch out for hard sell in this 

market though and shop around before 

buying heating or ventilation systems. 

EECA suggests a number of different 

options for secondary glazing, which is 

cheaper than retrofitting double glazing. 

Alternatives include DIY window 

insulation, aluminium framed secondary 

glazing on the inside of the existing 

glazing, or acrylic sheets attached 

internally. 

The latest technology is Low-E films, 

which are stuck to existing windows. 

This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent 

says Chris Olson, general manager of 

ThermafilmNZ. 

Healthy homes aren’t just about 

insulation and moisture removal. 

Using fewer toxic chemicals can make 

your home healthier to live in. Parents of 

young children sometimes worry about 

exposure to chemicals as do asthma 

sufferers. As a result some buyers will 

also be impressed. 

Dust mites can make a home 

unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on 

your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum 

more often and empty the bag between 

cleans. 

Decluttering as well reduces the places 

that dust can build up. 

Mould spores can be very bad for your 

lungs. If mould builds up anywhere 

in your house clean it off as soon as 

possible. If this is an ongoing problem 

consider ways to reduce the humidity. 

If your home was built before the 1980s 

watch out for lead paint and asbestos. 

Both should be removed by an expert.
