A PRIMARY school believes 

its only water tank has been

Hororata School lost 

25,000-litres of water held in 

the tank over Queen’s Birthday

The incident was discovered 

on June 1. 

“By Monday afternoon we

Police have not been called and 

the school board will meet to 

discuss a plan forward following

THAT’S FRUSTRATING stuff for the 

Dunsandel Irwell Rugby Club on page 3 

today. 

Their ground was torn up over Queen’s 

Birthday weekend by someone in a vehicle 

doing doughnuts. 

It was probably great fun at the time for those in the vehicle 

but spare a thought for the people who have put a huge amount 

of work into keeping the ground up to scratch for what it is 

meant for – sport. 

Groundsman Philip Wolff is understandably not a happy chap. 

“It’s just upsetting with the amount of work you put in and 

someone comes and does this,” he said. 

Dunsandel Community Committee chairman Nigel Barnett 

said the vandalism was a smack in the face. 

No doubt the culprit or culprits responsible probably deserve 

something similar.

A RUGBY club has received a 

“kick in the guts” after its main 

field was vandalised by a car. 

Dunsandel Irwell Rugby Club 

said the incident happened during 

Queen’s Birthday weekend. 

Club groundsman Philip 

Wolff discovered doughnut 

damage from a vehicle on the 

field at Dunsandel Domain on 

Monday last week. 

Police received a report 

the following day and a spokeswoman 

said inquiries are ongoing. 

Said Mr Wolff: “It’s just upsetting 

with the amount of work 

you put in and someone comes 

and does this,” he said. 

Dunsandel Community Committee 

chairman Nigel Barnett 

described the incident as a 

“smack in the face” for volunteers 

who help the club. 

Mr Wolff – who has been with 

the club for more than 30 years 

– said the field was out of action 

last week and is does not know 

when it could reopen. Cost of 

repair and installing new gates 

is also yet to be determined, he 

said. 

“We have to remove the 

mounds of dirt and roll the field 

so it’s possible games could be 

cancelled,” he said. 

Mr Wolff believes the doughnuts 

were done by a four-wheeldrive 

vehicle, based on the tyre 

tread marks. 

The damage meant many

hours of volunteer work will 

need to be generated to repair 

the grounds. 

“You do it all for nothing, for 

the love of the sport,” Mr Wolff 

said. 

“It would be nice if they 

owned up. Someone will 

know who did it and I’m

A FAMILY home near 

Rolleston was left uninhabitable 

following a fire on Saturday 

morning. 

The blaze started in the 

garage attached to the house 

on East Maddison Rd at 

11.15am. A teenage boy and 

his parents were alerted to the 

fire by a smoke alarm and evacuated. 

Fire services from Rolleston, 

Lincoln, Wigram and Burnham 

attended. 

Firefighters were able to 

contain the spread of the fire, 

but there was substantial smoke 

damage throughout the house.

Mr Barnett said he felt for the 

volunteers who worked for the 

community. 

“It’s very undermining for 

those people who have given 

their time voluntarily for the 

benefit of all those people who 

want to play the game in the district. 

An awful lot of work goes 

into getting the grounds ready.” 

he said. 

“It’s just unexpected in a community 

this small and I think 

everybody is absolutely 

gutted.” 

The club now plan to install 

gates and locks to prevent cars 

accessing its field. 

It’s not the first time a car has 

vandalised the grounds. Mr 

Wolff said a car damaged the 

main field about eight years 

ago, but no one was held 

responsible.

SUBMISSION APPROVED 

A draft submission fighting 

Fulton Hogan’s proposed

CAR GUTTED IN BLAZE 

A car burst into flames at Castle

Springfield chief fire officer Grant 

Williams said crews from his 

station and Sheffield arrived on the 

scene at about 7.20pm. “The guy 

[driver] just smelled smoke from 

under the bonnet and he stopped 

and it just went up,” Mr Williams 

said. The single male occupant of 

the vehicle escaped unharmed. The 

vehicle involved was a Kia sedan, 

Mr Williams said. The fire was 

contained in about 10 minutes but 

the car was beyond repair. “The 

only good thing left on it was the 

number plate,” Mr Williams said. 

NO INJURIES IN CRASH 

A car and a truck collided in 

Main South Rd, Rolleston, on 

Wednesday. Police were called 

to the incident at about 11.40am, 

and said there were no injuries. 

A police spokeswoman said 

inquiries are being made to 

determine the cause of the crash. 

ADAMS CRITICISES NZTA 

Selwyn MP Amy Adams has 

joined the district council in 

criticising the New Zealand 

Transport Agency for not funding 

three roading projects in the 

district. She said the decision was 

“outrageous” and will result in 

serious accidents and potential 

fatalities. The district council was 

informed recently that planned 

safety upgrades of the Blakes/ 

Shands Rds and Springs/Marshs 

Rds intersection, Weedons Ross 

Rd widening and the Rolleston 

to Templeton cycleway would 

not go ahead due to funding 

shortfalls.

‘If I’ve done my 

job properly, 

he will beat me’ 

•From page 1 

Wilson said he was not nervous 

about his son becoming the best 

piper in the family. 

“If I’ve done my job properly, he 

will beat me.” 

They were among about 60 

bagpipers from around New 

Zealand who competed in 

the competition held at John 

McGlashan College, while the 

Highland and National Dancing 

competitions were held at the 

King’s and Queen’s Performing 

Arts Centre. 

Piping and Dancing Association 

of New Zealand Otago president 

Shiobhan Smith said more than 

120 dancers participated in the 

dancing events. 

She said the majority of 

events were for the Otago 

championships, but among 

them were six South Island 

championship events. 

Because the Otago event 

was so close to the New 

Zealand Highland Dancing 

Championships early next month, 

many of the top dancers entered 

as a “practice run”, she said. 

“It’s an event that attracts some 

of the best dancers in the country 

every year. At this event, you see 

people who were, or are, New 

Zealand champions.” 

Maths whizz on world stage 


EVEN MATHS whizzes have 

their least favourite topics. 

For Lincoln High School 

student Alan Li, it’s geometry. 

But that’s not stopping him from 

representing New Zealand in 

the International Mathematical 

Olympiad next month. 

The 17-year-old of Weedons 

is one of six chosen for the New 

Zealand Maths Olympiad team 

travelling to Bath, United Kingdom. 

“The competition itself consists 

of two days, and every day 

you’re given four-and-a-half 

hours to solve three problems,” 

Alan said. 

He was chosen after attending 

a maths Olympiad training 

camp in Auckland in January. 

“The style of mathematics 

is quite different from what’s 

encountered in school. It’s a style 

that requires a lot of creative 

thinking and the solutions are 

very elegant and insightful. You 

have to learn methods taught 

beyond school,” Alan said. 

Most participants learn at 

home, he said. 

“Unlike school we don’t have 

a set curriculum, it’s like you try 

do as many problems you can to 

accumulate experience,” he said. 

Alan said his favourite topics 

in maths are algebra and number 

theory. 

Alan has also been selected by 

the Royal Society Te Aparangi 

for the London International 

Youth Science Forum – a twoweek 

science camp – also held 

next month. 

He is being supported by the 

talented school students travel 

award, which is managed by the 

Royal Society and funded by the 

Ministry of Business, Innovation 

and Employment. 

Alan said he was looking 

forward to represent New Zealand 

on the world stage at the 

Olympiad. 

“I’m not so nervous. My goal 

was to be selected for the team 

and I know there are a lot of 

talented people out there. I want 

to do well of course,” he said. 

Alan also gave special thanks 

to his teachers at school. 

“[I want to thank] all the 

teachers in the school in 

particular, Mr Tolhoek, Mr 

Phillips and Mrs Litten,” he said.

$2.6m upgrade for 

council building 

VISITORS TO the district 

council headquarters in 

Rolleston will notice some 

changes over the coming 

months. 

Construction work 

will begin on Monday 

to build a new customer 

services space and an office 

extension. 

The 

project, 

signalled in 

the district 

council’s

a large new customer 

services area right at the 

front entrance. It has a 

budget of $2.67 million. 

The building will remain 

open for business as usual 

through this time. 

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, said 

district council business 

relationship manager 

Stephen Hill.

from people is that our

putting them together 

in one area will make it 

simpler for people to find 

who they need,” he said. 

“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 district 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

patrols earlier in the year 

following the vandalism 

incidents. 

“The [reserve] committee 

were given advice and 

we’re doing patrolling late 

the council’s website 

selwyn.govt.nz,” Mr Hill 

said. 

The new customer 

services area will be built 

in the space currently 

occupied by Mayor Sam

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 to meet the 

requirements to operate as

The district council is

months.

Regular servicing increases 

the life of a motor vehicle 

Whether you have a concern about your vehicle or 

just want to be sure it is up to standard, the expert 

automotive technicians at Rolleston Diesel & Petrols 

will happily look it over. If there is an issue they will 

competently and quickly sort it. Not surprising, 

given the efficient approach to jobs that is taken, 

and modern workshop fitted with sophisticated 

diagnostic equipment like fuel injector cleaning gear, 

Egr and Dps. 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols, 839 Jones Road. 

We drive our vehicles often not thinking about 

their need for regular servicing, yet this should 

be carried out every 5,000-10,000 kilometres. 

Whether a relatively new or older model vehicle, 

regular servicing is important and should be 

undertaken by a reliable and competent specialist in 

automotive repairs. 

Vehicle batteries are under the most strain in cold 

weather. You also need reliable windscreen wipers, 

not to mention the engine and other vehicle parts 

functioning efficiently so you are not stranded on a 

country road in the middle of the night. Therefore, 

booking your motor vehicle in for servicing before 

the really colder part of winter is here will help ensure 

hassle-free motoring. 

Everyone in the team at Rolleston Diesel and Petrols 

is fully trained in automotive repairs. They also 

have considerable individual experience in vehicle 

servicing and maintenance. This fully equipped 

workshop can handle personal and commercial 

vehicles, whether a car, ute, 4WD, van, light 

commercial (up to 12 tons), motorhome, bus or 

motorcycle. They even repair jet skis, boats, ride-on 

lawnmowers and horse floats. 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols are accredited to carry 

out warrant of fitness checks. They will thoroughly 

inspect your vehicle’s brakes, suspension and 

steering so you can be confident it is roadworthy, as 

well as meeting legal and insurance requirements.

Lessons learned from 

teacher’s Japan forum 

• By Jacob Page 

ELLESMERE COLLEGE head 

of physical education and health 

Sam Forward believes there are 

things he will implement at his 

school that he learnt from his 

eight days in Japan. 

Mr Forward was one of 10 

teachers from around New Zealand 

chosen to take part in the 

Asia New Zealand Foundation 

Te Whitau Tuhono Japan Sports 

Forum. 

He spent time in several 

school environments and he also 

attended a professional baseball 

game. 

He said physical education in 

Japanese schools was more rigid 

than it is in New Zealand. 

“They would practice one skill 

over and over again and become 

really good at it but in a game 

situation they’d struggle with 

other skills required in a game 

of, say, volleyball. 

“They’d practice a dig and be 

really good at it but struggle to 

do the rest of the skills needed in 

a game. 

“It’s very repetitive.” 

He said crowds watching sport 

were extremely respectful of the

and health Sam Forward has spent eight days in Japan learning 

about their culture and how they view and teach physical

opposition and he said his whole 

touring party felt like they were 

treated like celebrities for the 

entire trip. 

“I think they’ll do a great job 

hosting the Rugby World Cup 

later this year and the Olympics 

in 2020 because everyone is so 

polite.” 

He said he would use his new 

connections in Japan to try 

to open doors for his students 

to gain new opportunities 

particularly in judo. 


ROLLESTON’S proposed Rotary 

Club is gaining momentum. 

Lincoln Rotary Club presidentelect 

Matthew Sullivan – who’s 

involved in forming the Rolleston 

club – said 18 people have expressed 

interest to work in the 

new group. 

The formation committee of 

the Rolleston Rotary Club met 

for the second time at the district 

council on Wednesday night 

“It’s just planning forward, 

the next thing is on Wednesday 

[tonight] we have a meeting where 

everyone will be invited to get new 

people along,” Mr Sullivan said. 

“The focus there will be learning 

about each other, what strengths 

people have got but also working 

on picking a first project.” 

Mr Sullivan said people who 

have joined forces to create the 

Rolleston club want it to complement 

other community organisations 

in the area. 

“They don’t see it as being a competition. 

They want to work with 

others. If other groups want more 

horsepower there’s another group

220 vehicles 

dropped off 

recyclables 

TWO COMMUNITY recycling 

drop-off days proved popular with 

Malvern and Ellesmere residents. 

The April events provided local 

residents with an alternative dropoff 

location for garden waste and 

some types of recyclables. 

The events were managed by 

district 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. 

Over the two days, 220 vehicles 

dropped off nearly 24,000kg of 

organic waste which will now be 

composted, as well as 6400kg of 

scrap metal, more than 150 tyres 

and 50 TVs for recycling. 

District 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 events. 

“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,” he said. 

The next drop-off days will be 

held on November 2. 

Tantrum to the power of 10 

I HAD TWO pretty decent 

sleep-ins last week. 

I mean I had to travel to 

Australia to get them, and one of 

those included being a bit worse 

for wear. Still, it was good to get 

some extra shut-eye. 

However, poor Laura got stuck 

inside while I was away thanks 

to the nasty weather. If you 

remember back to early April 

when I was away in Hamilton 

she copped the same. 

It must be a curse or 

something. 

My flight didn’t get in until 

1am on Tuesday morning, so I 

only ended up getting about four 

hours sleep before a little smiling 

face was pressed close to mine to 

get me up. 

I was stoked, I had missed 

Vittoria heaps while I was away. 

While I was gone she’s 

mastered her little push-car and 

worked out how to turn up the 

tantrum power to 10. 

With average weather striking 

again on Tuesday, riding her 

little car up and down the drive 

wasn’t a full-day option. 

Laura was on leave so the 

three of us packed up the car 

and headed to Lyttelton for a 

family lunch out. 

Bubs behaved like an angel the 

whole time. 

After eating we went out onto

looking stairs that had toddler 

head injury written all over 

them. 

Not letting her go down 

those was cause for a full-blown 

meltdown at me, crying and 

screaming right beside some 

strangers enjoying a coffee 

catch-up. 

Good thing I’ve developed 

a healthy level of not getting 

stressed about what bystanders 

think. 

When I tried to give her a 

cuddle to calm her down, she 

ran away for a cuddle from 

mum instead and her stroppy 

attitude lasted all the way back 

to the car. 

Still, it was nice to see Vittoria 

turn to Laura for a change. I’m 

sure, in spite of the tears and 

noise, that Laura would have 

appreciated that too.

Meeting to

second 

Rolleston 

probus club 

THE RAPID expansion of 

Rolleston might warrant the 

formation of a second probus 

club for the town’s retirees. 

The current Rolleston club 

already has 160 members who 

meet monthly to attend events 

and outings together. 

Rolleston convenor of new 

clubs Margaret Drake said 

research showed those who were 

socially active had a happier and 

longer life. 

Members could join subgroups 

with like-minded people 

who shared interests such as 

walking, travelling, reading and 

cooking. 

Other Selwyn probus clubs 

were located in Darfield, West 

Melton, and Ellesmere and 

Lincoln. 

The clubs were non-religious, 

non-political and non-fundraising 

and run by the Christchurch 

Rotary Club. 

A meeting to gauge interest for 

a second Rolleston club will be 

held at the community centre on 

Tuesday, June 18, at 10am.

Our People 

Julie Patterson 

From Southbridge to Antarctica and 

Julie Patterson is the first 

woman to be president 

of the Canterbury Rugby 

Football Union. She 

speaks to Sophie Cornish 

about growing up in 

Southbridge, her own 

experience playing rugby 

and meeting Sir David 

Attenborough 

What was life like growing up 

in Southbridge? 

It was a very small country 

town. If you weren’t related, 

you certainly knew everyone. I 

come from a big family, more 

than 50 first cousins spread 

across Canterbury and beyond. 

Growing up a lot was revolved 

around family and farming. We 

moved in the township when I 

was four-years-old. I was always 

active, it’s that rural background 

of being outdoors and always 

doing something. 

Rugby is a big sport for 

women. Did you play as a girl? 

Girls just didn’t play rugby, it 

was never a consideration, girls 

played netball. If I had grown 

up in Courtenay or Kirwee like 

my mum did, then I would have 

played hockey, because that was 

what girls did. I certainly played 

netball and was reasonably useful 

at it. I played in a few rep teams, 

I played the centre position. It 

didn’t even occur to us to say 

why can’t we play (rugby)? It 

wasn’t an issue because it never 

came up. It wasn’t really until 

I moved to Christchurch that I 

got involved with the University 

of Canterbury Rugby Club and 

never looked back. I enjoyed it so 

much. I had bumped into some 

people who were involved and 

they got me along to it. In fact, 

I recently ran into my first two 

coaches, who happened to be in 

Christchurch. We caught up out 

at Belfast watching Varsity boys 

play Belfast on their club day. It 

was just like oh my God, my first 

coaches. This was back in 1985, 

they live out of town now, but we 

had a laugh together. They have 

watched with interest over the 

HONOUR: Julie Patterson is the first woman to become president of the Canterbury Rugby 

Football Union. 


years and are pleased to see how 

well I’ve done. 

How did you first find out 

about being offered the role as 

president of the CRFU? 

It was certainty not something 

I expected. I never imagined 

I would be following in the 

footsteps of Canterbury legends. 

I had a couple of years to get 

my head around it, I was the 

vice-president for past two years. 

It’s one of those things where 

you get approached and asked if 

you would accept a nomination 

initially. I was surprised and 

honoured to be approached. Then 

of course my club supported that 

nomination. In my two years as 

vice-president I worked really 

closely with Vance Stewart,

Patterson in Amsterdam

Canterbury University tour of 

the United States and Europe.

Dutch national side. 

who was the president. He is 

a fantastic man, an old school 

gentleman of the game. It was a 

pleasure to spend time with him 

and bounce ideas off him. It’s a 

huge honour to work with people 

like that. Vance was the first 

Crusaders coach, he’s been an All 

Black, he’s done so many great 

things. So to suddenly be held in 

the same level it’s like gosh, how 

do you put that into words. It’s 

incredibly humbling. 

You took the Ranfurly Shield 

down to Antarctica – what was 

that all about? 

I worked for Antarctica New 

Zealand for about 10 years. I have 

been lucky to have 10 trips to 

Scott Base. I took the Ranfurly 

Shield down and on another trip 

I took the Farah Palmer Cup 

(national women’s provincial 

trophy). It was a great to have the 

shield over a summer that was 

when Scott Base was celebrating 

its 60 th birthday. It was a great 

way to celebrate my rugby 

connection with that iconic piece 

of rugby trophy with the crew 

down there.

first woman to be CRFU president 

They didn’t know it was 

coming, it was a huge surprise for 

them and it was great to be able 

to create those memories. They 

got to hold the shield and get a 

photo with it when they would 

never expect to see it, let alone 

have it at Scott Base. It was like 

kids in the candy shop. It’s got 

its own special case, you have to 

look after it very carefully. It’s 

an old trophy now and it’s wood 

so I was pretty nervous. I didn’t 

want to be the one who breaks 

the shield, it wouldn’t be such 

a good story. There was a bit of 

paperwork, it was a huge thing to 

do, I think it was the first time it 

had been out of the country. 

What sort of work did you do 

down there? 

The work was different each 

time, mostly up to three months 

living and working down there 

as part of the leadership team, 

sometimes HR or training or 

operational leadership support. 

It was a huge privilege to get 

down there to work and support 

the science. I actually got to host 

Sir David Attenborough in 2010 

for dinner. It was a pinch-me 

moment. He had come down to 

the ice to film his Frozen Planet 

series and to do his pieces to the 

camera. Of course we invited the 

team and Sir David over. I got to 

sit next to him and have dinner. 

You could just pose a question 

and he would be off, he’s got 

so many good stories. He’s 

also got a wicked sense of 

humour and is a wee bit naughty. 

I loved his work when I was 

growing up. 

What does a day in your 

role as president of the CRFU 

consist of? 

It’s fully a volunteer role, 

which I do in the weekends and 

evenings. I call it my second 

job, I work full-time. It means 

I represent the union and 

Canterbury rugby community at 

different events. You get invited 

to attend as the figurehead of 

Canterbury rugby, you might 

be speaking or handing out 

trophies, just connecting with 

the community really. You’ve got 

to be out and about connecting 

PRIVILEGE: Julie Patterson in Antarctica with the Ranfurly Shield. 

with the community from grass 

roots up to visiting dignitaries, 

provincial unions, that sort 

of thing. It’s kind of cool; you 

get to meet a lot of really neat 

people. My Saturday starts at 

some sort of junior game, when 

there is frost still on the ground, 

I’m pleased I’m not playing at 

that point. I love watching kids 

playing and enjoying it. In the 

afternoon I will go out and 

watch any club days, or go to 

any finals or semi-finals. I try to 

make sure I get across not only 

metro rugby, but Ellesmere and 

North Canterbury as well. It’s 

always great to get out and see 

different styles and levels from 

kids playing rippa to division 

one men’s and women’s. I get 

the pleasure of going to all the 

Crusaders and Canterbury home 

games. I do site liaison work for 

Super Rugby. That’s always good 

to be doing something practical. 

For Canterbury home games, 

we are usually hosting people, 

from the opposition to key 

stakeholders, sponsors that sort 

of thing. I mix and mingle with 

those people and hear about what 

is happening in their space. 

We share ideas on how to 

keep growing the game and 

encouraging participation. We 

had Bill Osborne, who is president 

of New Zealand Rugby, down over 

the weekend and I caught up with 

him. I got invited along to the 

Black Ferns capping that they had 

here on Saturday night. Seventeen 

more Black Ferns were capped; 

quite a few were Canterbury girls. 

It was a great pleasure to see them 

getting their caps and celebrating 

with them. 

What do you hope to change 

in this role? 

I think this appointment is 

a symbol of change, to change 

people’s perception of Canterbury 

rugby. It’s not as conservative, 

traditional or male-dominated as 

people might imagine. It’s just a 

reflection that women have always 

contributed and this is a great way 

of recognising that it is a game 

that is inclusive. It’s not about 

gender; it’s about contribution and 

passion. 

Who has inspired you to get 

to this point? 

I have been hugely influenced by 

the people at the university club. 

Initially, that was Laurie O’Reilly, 

he was one of my first coaches. He 

was a huge supporter of diversity, 

inclusively and encouragement. It 

was his vision that continued to 

build what we as a club and then 

as a province and nationally have 

been able to do in the women’s 

space. He was a great technical 

coach. Without him, women’s 

rugby wouldn’t be in the position 

it is today. I wouldn’t be the first 

president of Canterbury rugby 

if I hadn’t met him and been 

encouraged by him. Of course 

there are others too. Ivan Bolton 

was the president at the university 

club when I started there in the 

mid-80s. He’s in his late 80s now 

but is still contributing. 

He recently got a lifetime 

achievement award from Sport 

Canterbury and from the 

university’s Blues committee. 

Its people like them that always 

just encourage and support you 

to do things and haven’t put any 

barriers in the way. 

They challenged me to go 

beyond the normal pathway. 

Laurie took us on a tour as the 

University girls (team) to the 

United States and Europe in 1988. 

We played over seven weeks and 

every second or third day we 

played a game. The friendship and 

memories we created, it’s those 

sorts of bonds that are special in 

rugby. 

That’s why I’d like others to 

have their own journey, but also 

make those friendships which are 

really important. 

Who are your favourite All 

Blacks of all time? 

For me, Dan Carter and Richie 

McCaw are pretty special. There 

is that Southbridge connection 

with Dan, I remember him as a 

kid growing up. I had a friend that 

used to tell people she babysat 

him. I used to say ‘you know that’s 

not true’ and she would say ‘oh 

but you could have.’ Yes, if his 

parents had of asked me I could 

have. I’m sure I babysat some of 

his classmates. I knew as a child 

he had a goalpost, his dad had 

made it for him and he spent a lot 

of time kicking the ball around. 

I remember seeing him kicking a 

ball around but no one predicted 

as a five or six-year-old that he 

would do what he’s managed to 

achieve. 

What do you like to do outside 

of rugby? 

I work in HR. I am a people 

business partner, HR manager, 

for an engineering consultancy. 

Outside of rugby I enjoy 

photography, movies, art, music. 

I enjoy people and landscape 

photography, going down to the 

ice, it’s not very difficult to take a 

good photo in Antarctica. 

Tell me about your family – 

are you married/have kids? 

No, I have no husband and 

no children. I like to call myself 

unclaimed treasure. I have three 

older sisters, they all have kids 

who are all sort of grown up now. 

We have a big extended family, 

mum was from a family of 12 and 

dad from six. It was busy. 

What will Canterbury rugby 

look like in 10 years? Will we 

have a new stadium? 

I hope we continue to grow the 

game and that participation levels 

grow, whether it’s the men’s and 

women’s game. I want people to 

be engaging if they aren’t playing, 

referees, managing, coaching, 

helping run the competitions 

and clubs. Everyone plays a part. 

I will be disappointed if we don’t 

have a stadium in 10 years. We 

desperately need one with a roof 

in order to secure internationals, 

not just for rugby but as a multisport 

facility. We really need that 

to continue the re-build.

Solid all-round performance 

keeps Lincoln in competition 


THE YOUTHFUL Lincoln A 

team ensured they would stay 

in the Selwyn premier netball 

competition for the second 

round after toppling defending 

champions Greenpark A 58-50 

at the Lincoln Events Centre on 

Saturday. 

THe victory means Prebbleton 

A will be relegated after this 

Saturday’s matches which will 

conclude round one. 

It also means Lincoln avoids a 

winner-take-all encounter with 

Prebbleton A. 

In other results, Broadfield A 

maintained their unbeaten run 

with a 46-39 win over Greenpark 

B and Southbridge A climbed 

into the top four with a 55-47 

triumph over Prebbleton A. 

Lincoln A coach Dawn Dalley 

said her team showed a level 

head even when things got 

close. 

“They (Greenpark A) pulled 

it back to within one goal in the 

last quarter before we pulled 

away again which I was very 

happy with. 

“We thought we’d go out there 

and play like we had nothing to 

lose and it worked.” 

Dalley said she was delighted 

with both ends of the court, with 

the defence not allowing the ball 

into the Greenpark A shooting 

circle and goal shoot Hannah

SPORT 

Zaylie Sullivan said her team 

threw away too much ball and 

simply had an off day. 

“Take nothing away from 

Lincoln but we are pretty good 

at all having an off game all at 

once and I don’t think there was 

anyone from our team happy 

with the performance. 

Broadfield A coach Yvonne 

Crichton-Hill said she was happy 

to remain unbeaten and she said it 

was nice her team had momentum 

on their side heading into the more 

intense part of the season. 

Greenpark B co-coach Casey 

Ashton said her team performed 

well against the best performed 

team in the competition and 

they would take a great deal of 

confidence from it. 

Results – Lincoln A 58, 

Greenpark A 50, Southbridge A

TACTICS: Lincoln’s Hamish Sadler before his A grade win in 

the Christchurch Schools’ Cycling Series last week. 

Success for 

Lincoln cyclists 

LINCOLN HIGH School cyclist 

Hamish Sadler won the boys 

A grade race at the weekly 

Christchurch Schools’ Cycling 

Series last Wednesday. 

The year 12 student beat a 

strong field on Old Tai Tapu

the track national champion 

Laurence Pithie. 

Hamish said he got his tactics 

right. 

“I took some advice and attacked 

solo with 1.5km to go, 

my bike was stuck in top gear so 

it was a super-hard finish, but I 

stayed clear.”

Thank you for 

helping your 

Fall Zones 

community 

To all of you who have had your 

trees trimmed before they became 

a problem, thank you for keeping all 

the families in your community warm, 

happy, healthy and connected. 

You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your 

neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge 

their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what 

you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here 

at Orion, we just want to say thank you.

400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m 

We’re not exaggerating. 

On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are 

caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact 

with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from 

branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from 

electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are 

also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees. 

How close is too close? 

While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines, 

significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk 

increases the higher the voltage of the power line. 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees 

and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above. 

All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and 

preferably the notice zone. 

Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the 

rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need 

to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed, 

most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to 

disease or adverse weather events. 

Where do I start? 

Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around 

you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree 

trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange 

for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however 

we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within four 

metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from 

Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any 

damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

Will I be fined if I don’t comply? 

If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree 

trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim 

without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you 

liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, 

you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every 

day or part day during which the offence continues. 

More info can be found on our website and if 

you have any questions or notice any trees 

touching power lines in your area, please call 

us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

Try-scoring Sheat marks 

200th game for Southbridge 


SOUTHBRIDGE maintained 

their momentum and celebrated 

hooker Michael Sheat’s 200th 

game in style as round one of 

Ellesmere’s Coleman Shield got 

under way on Saturday. 

Sheat scored two tries to 

help his team beat Burnham 

Dunsandel Irwell 34-10 at 

Southbridge Domain. 

“The first one I had to do a bit 

of work for, but the second one 

was passed to me over the line.” 

The 31-year-old said it was a 

proud moment for him in his 

13th season with the team. 

“I started when I was 19, so 

it’s been a big part of my life,” 

he said. 

Sheat played his first 140 

games at halfback before 

shifting to hooker in recent 

years. 

“The way I was growing – out 

– made the move a no-brainer 

but it was fun to learn a new 

position.” 

Sheat also played three games 

with former All Blacks first-five 

Dan Carter. 

“In 2009, he was coming back 

from an Achilles injury and the 

boys joked, I better not pass it 

too low so he didn’t re-injure it 

bending down.” 

He said winning three 

combined country titles and 

two Coleman Shields has been a 

highlight.

With points carrying 

over from fixtures involving 

Ellesmere teams during 

the combined competition, 

Springston remain unbeaten 

at the top of the table after a 

comfortable 36-7 win over 

Prebbleton. 

Springston scored 24 

unanswered second-half points 

slip a point ahead of Christchurch 

in the standings. The margin 

stayed that way as Christchurch 

also had a bonus-point win 

against Marist Albion in the last 

round. 

Rams captain Nic Souchon said 

the side’s success had nothing to 

do with individual brilliance. 

“We aren’t a team of superstars,’’ 

he said after the match on 

Saturday. 

“It’s all about the mindset. No 

matter who’s on the paddock, 

everyone gives it their best, no 

matter what position they’re 

for another bonus point win, 

thanks in part to two tries from 

Thomas Cockburn. 

Darfield produced a stirring 

second half to take down 

Lincoln 29-27. 

Lincoln led 20-12 early in 

the second half before Darfield 

stormed back. 

A last-gasp try allowed 

Lincoln to salvage two bonus 

points from the game, but 

Darfield’s win lifts them to 

fourth on the table. 

After a tough end to the 

combined country competition, 

defending champions Waihora 

got a much needed 46-5 win 

over Rolleston which ensured 

they remained in second. 

West Melton also easily 

accounted for Hornby 29-5. 

Waihora v Lincoln and 

Darfield v Springston look set to 

be the matches with the most at 

stake on Saturday. Rolleston will 

host West Melton; Southbridge 

will welcome Hornby; and BDI 

will travel to Prebbleton. 

Results: Southbridge

passing. He scored the first try, on 

the blindside of a 5m scrum, no 

defender getting near him as he 


LINCOLN COMBINED were 

left to rue a red card after their 

22-19 loss to St Thomas’ in their 

UC Championship encounter on 

Friday. 

Lock Blake Evans was sent off 

for retaliating after an incident in 

a ruck midway through the first 

half, which meant Lincoln had to 

play 50min with 14 players. 

Coach Tom Hooper said it 

is likely Evans will receive a 

two-match ban, “which was 

standard”. But he said they will 

wait to see if a judicial hearing is 

needed this week. 

Lincoln Combined led 14-7 

at halftime, but the one-man 

disadvantage eventually took a 

toll. 

Hooper said the game felt 

like a missed opportunity, even 

though he could not fault the 

team’s effort. 

“The boys were incredibly 

brave, we didn’t have a lot of ball 

and had to defend for a lot of the 

game and they were fantastic, but 

we just ran out of energy.” 

Hooper said the red card 

was justified but he would have 

liked the referee to have seen the 

original incident that sparked the 

situation. “It’s often the guy that 

retaliates that gets caught and 

that’s what happened. 

Hooper said the big St Thomas’ 

forward pack eventually won the 

scooted through. 

Beardsley is getting stronger 

with every game and Kerr is 

both robust and clever in tight 

situations. 

Sam Gilbert gave another near 

faultless goal-kicking display in 

difficult conditions, missing only 

the conversion of his own try 

right at the end. 

Burnside enjoyed some strong 

passages of play, sparked by the 

likes of No 8 Christiaan Grandiek

heavy knocks and was eventually

SELWYN TIMES 

Signalled NZTA funding cuts could 

put motorists at risk 

Kids love Active Autumn 

There was a wow effort from over 4000 young people last month 

who got active on their way to school. 

The second annual Active Autumn event saw pupils from 10 Selwyn 

schools take part in the W.o.W challenge (walk or wheel) to get a 

card stamped each time they biked, scootered or walked to school. 

The campaign run by the Council’s Road Safety team encouraged 

the children to use an active mode of transport such as walking, 

skating, biking or scootering to get to and from school. 

The children also took part in a colouring competition to come up 

with their own road safety message as part of the month-long event. 

Each school received a series of prizes for children taking part in 

the colouring competition with one child at each school winning a 

scooter and bike helmet. 

Southbridge School Principal Tamara Bell say the campaign was a 

big hit with her pupils. 

“A huge thanks to [Council School Road Safety Coordinator] 

Stephanie Hautler from the Council for organising this important but 

really fun Active Autumn challenge and to the Council for donating 

all the prizes to our school. Our kids loved participating and were 

over the moon to get their hands on some of the awesome prizes!” 

Nation-wide funding cuts to local roading improvements could have a significant impact on 

Selwyn motorists’ safety. 

Last week the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) informed the Council that its funding for 

local roading projects, contained in the current National Land Transport Programme (NLTP), would 

be cut due to a nation-wide funding shortfall. 

This means key roading projects to improve safety and enhance the network to fit in with the 

Christchurch Southern Motorway extension are unlikely to go ahead as planned, says Deputy 

Mayor Malcolm Lyall. This includes some cycleway projects. 

“While we have had a constructive working relationship with the NZTA in the region, vital projects 

which we were planning to improve the safety and efficiency of roading network, particularly our 

roads feeding into the Christchurch Southern Motorway, have been halted unexpectedly due to a 

shortfall in national transport funding. 

“This puts our residents and other motorists at risk on main roads that are in desperate need of 

safety upgrades.” 

The NZTA had indicated a likely subsidy assistance of $5.6m. This was incorporated into the 

Council’s financial forecasts and work plan. 

Local roading projects in the 2018-21 NLTP which will now not proceed include: 

· Blakes/Shands and Springs/Marshs Road intersection safety upgrades at Prebbleton ($9.6m) 

· Weedons Ross Road widening and upgrade at Rolleston ($1m) 

· Rolleston to Templeton cycleway ($400k). 

The NZTA attributes the shortfall to some large transport projects which need to be completed 

costing significantly more than estimated, along with the cost of other current projects, the 

number of carry-forward projects from previous programmes and an emphasis on ‘green’ 

transport initiatives. 

Mr Lyall says the Council will continue to negotiate with the NZTA to find other ways to help pay 

for the district’s much needed roading and transport improvements. 

“We’re hopeful of creating a solution to this issue. Our local arterial roads between Selwyn and 

Christchurch are carrying more traffic than most of the state highways in the district, at over 

10,000 vehicles per day,” he says. 

Road maintenance programmes are not affected by the signalled funding cuts. 

Drive safe this winter 

Winter has arrived, bringing more challenging driving conditions, including rain, fog, ice, snow, 

shorter daylight hours and less visibility. 

“As the snow and rain at the start of June reminded us, conditions on the roads in Selwyn can get quite 

tricky in winter and require more care. People need to plan a bit of extra time to fully defrost the car before 

starting journeys and travel more slowly on wet or icy roads,” says Council Safety Coordinator Peter Daly. 

The Council has a stock of windscreen scrapers – you can pick one up for free at the Council service 

centre in Rolleston. 

Motorists should reduce speed when travelling in the frosty conditions in the morning and evening. Ice 

can also be a problem during the day on patches of road shaded by trees or fences, so watch out for this 

and reduce your speed before entering these areas. 

It’s also important to stay visible in gloomy conditions or fog by putting your lights on, Mr Daly says. 

To help make your journey safer in winter check out our driving tips at selwyn.govt.nz/winterdriving. 

Council backs banning the bag 

With the national ban on businesses distributing single use plastic 

bags coming into effect next month, the council is continuing to 

encourage people in Selwyn to move away from plastic bags. 

From Monday 1 July plastic shopping bags will need to go in the 

red bin—which goes to landfill, rather than in the recycling bin. 

The decision to stop taking shopping bags in the recycling was a 

result of the dramatic fall in the number of bags, following the decision 

by major supermarkets and the government to phase them out. 

“It’s great that we’ve been seeing a drop in the number of plastic 

bags that have been going into bins across Selwyn since the start of 

the year. We’re asking people to continue that good work and keep 

using alternatives such as durable reusable bags and boxes.” 

Along with using boxes or durable reusable bags, ways to reduce 

plastic could include wrapping your organic waste in newspaper 

or soiled cardboard such as pizza boxes, Mr Boyd says. Some 

supermarkets also deliver online shopping in brown paper bags. 

The nation-wide ban on businesses distributing single-use plastic 

bags will also come into effect on the same day. Some plastic bags 

such as rubbish bags, small bags without handles and bags for pet 

waste or nappies will still be available in stores, although the Council 

is encouraging people to think about alternatives for these too. 

The Ministry for the Environment has more information about the 

changes on its website mfe.govt.nz, as well as a range of information 

available to businesses to assist with adapting to the new legislation. 

Council building renovations begin 

With the Council building renovations underway, there are some 

layout changes that you need to know about if you pop in to see us. 

From next Monday 17 June, the customer car parking and entrance 

will be temporarily moved to accommodate our renovations which 

will take about eight months. 

Please follow the signage which will clearly show where to park your 

car and where to enter the building. Internal signage will also show 

you where to go once you get inside. We’re still providing full services 

as normal while we work to further enhance our customer service. 

Keep an eye on the Council’s Facebook page and website for updates.

SELWYN TIMES 

New beat for front row enforcer 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CON BARRELL was the first 

Super Rugby player to find 

himself on the wrong side of the 

‘law’ – now he’s enforcing it on 

the Gold Coast. 

Barrell, 52, played 45 games 

as a prop for the Crusaders 

between 1996 and 2001. But 

in the Crusaders second Super 

Rugby match against the Blues at 

Lancaster Park in March 1996, 

he became the first player in the 

competition to be cited for foul 

play and was handed a two-week 

suspension. 

“I took the law into my own 

hands,” said Barrell. 

“I saw Charles 

Riechelmann, the Auckland 

lock, hit Mark Weedon . . . I 

chased him and we ended up in a 

scrap in front of the crowd by the 

old embankment.” 

Barrell went on to also become 

the first player cited in the 1997 

season. However, he has now 

found himself on the right side 

of the law as a sergeant and 

fire arms instructor with the 

Queensland Police Service. 

“It’s a hard job, there’s a lot 

on you. There’s things you see 

and do that a normal person 

shouldn’t. You deal with a lot of 

rubbish and drug-related stuff, 

but it’s a good job,” said Barrell. 

Growing up in Northland, 

he started playing rugby at 

age four in Hikurangi and 

Maungakaramea. 

“I was a typical farm boy. I was 

into motorbikes, shearing, bushcutting 

and everything on the 

farm,” Barrell said. 

He left school at 15 and 

became a full-time bush-cutter. 

He then held a number of jobs, 

which included fencing and 

the meat works, while playing 

for Northland in the first and 

second divisions of the NPC 

between 1990 and 1995. 

“It was in them days when 

you’d work in the morning 

before you played a game in the 

afternoon,” he said. 

Barrell moved to Christchurch 

for the inaugural Super 12 

season in 1996 for a starting 

opportunity as Craig Dowd and 

Olo Brown were the first choice 

options in Auckland. 

In 1996, the Crusaders finished 

dead last and won just one game. 

However, Barrell believes it laid 

the blueprint for the Crusaders 

success going forward. 

“I remember after that first 

season they were talking about 

sacking us and Otago to try and 

make one South Island team that 

could compete,” he said. 

“I think that’s when the 

Crusaders were actually born 

. . . that’s when we dug in and 

we knew we had to do extra 

training. That’s what created that 

Crusader culture.” 

Barrell was part of four Super 

Rugby title-winning Crusaders 

sides. But the successful 1998 

campaign has the fondest 

memories after the side went 

from last in the standings after 

five rounds to champions. 

“That builds a real team 

culture and character when you 

can come from last, knowing 

you have to win every game 

and get bonus points to even 

think about making the semis 

and final. They’re pretty special 

memories,” he said. 

Barrell said a major difference 

between his time in red and 

black and today’s game is the 

importance put on scrums and 

specialist scrum coaches. 

“Most of them seem to be a lot 

more skilled and drilled up now 

. . . I remember in the early days 

•Great players have come and gone from the Crusaders 

over the years. Selwyn Times continues to catch up with 

some of them. 

IN BLUE: Con 

Barrell and his 

wife Kate are 

now police 

officers on the 

Gold Coast. 

HARDMAN: 

Barrell was a 

key member of 

the Crusaders 

after he moved 

to Christchurch 

from Northland 

in 1996 to get 

more game time. 

for Northland we would put the 

scrum machine against a power 

pole and do 100 scrums against 

the power pole,” he said. 

Later in his career, Barrell had 

issues with his ACL. He signed a 

deal to play in France before reinjuring 

his knee, which meant 

he stayed in New Zealand. He 

went on to play for Northland 

in 2002. However, a third ACL 

injury during that season ended 

his career. 

“At 35, it was time to hang 

the boots up. I ended up back 

in Christchurch working for 

Stonewood Homes working in 

the sales and design team for 

eight years,” he said. 

In 2010, Barrell and his wife 

Kate moved to the Gold Coast 

and soon found themselves 

recruited into the police. “We 

were having some drinks with 

friends at a bar and ended up 

having a barbeque back at our 

place and one of them was a 

Queensland police officer. The 

wife ended up joining first . . . I 

thought I was too old and broken 

down, but I went up to the 

academy one day to have a look 

around and figured I was more 

athletic than most going through 

so I decided bugger it, I’ll give it 

a go.” 

“You can’t beat the lifestyle 

here [Gold Coast] – I absolutely 

love it. It gets a bit too hot over 

summer, which I knew it would 

because we always came over for 

a pre-season game in January 

and it was blimming hard work,” 

said Barrell. 

ALL STARS: Taylah Gardner, Taylor Wafer and Alexis Hay are 

part of the Canterbury under-15 team which will travel to 

Indonesia later this week. 

Softballers to hit Indonesia 

• Jacob Page 

FOUR SELWYN softballers will 

head to Indonesia next week 

with the Canterbury under-15 

team. 

Taylah Gardner, 

Taylor Wafer, Alexis 

Hay and Melissa 

Chapman, all 14, will 

be part of the team 

nicknamed ‘The Baby 

Hawks’. 

The team won the 

South Island title and 

followed that up with 

victory at the national 

little league champs. 

Their success over 

the summer has 

given them the right 

to represent New Zealand at 

the Asia Pacific Little League 

tournament. 

The tournament gives them 

an opportunity to qualify for the 

Little League Junior Division 

World Series in Washington in 

August. 

The Baby Hawks will be the 

first New Zealand 

Little League 

representatives to 

play internationally. 

Taylah, a pitcher 

who attends 

Rolleston College, 

said the team are 

keen to adjust 

to the humid 

conditions, with the 

temperature set to 

hit 42 deg C. 

“We’ll be playing 

10 games so we’ll 

soon get used to the heat,” she 

said. “I want to put in all the 

stuff I’ve learnt so far.” 

Melissa Chapman 

Taylor, who plays right field 

and also attends Rolleston 

College, said she wants to field 

the ball cleanly and do the basics 

right. 

Alexis, a left outfielder who 

lives in Rolleston and attends 

Lincoln High School, said the 

team is hyped up for it. 

“We are all really excited. It’s 

something new, but we’re all 

pumped,” she said. “We’ve been 

training inside in multiple layers 

trying to simulate the weather.” 

Melissa, who plays in 

the outfield and lives in 

Leeston while attending 

Villa Maria College, said she 

hopes the team will be able 

to show they deserve to at the 

tournament. 

The team raised $55,000 in 

four months to make the trip 

possible.

Gardening 

Beat the winter blues with violas 

• By Henri Ham 

THE WINTER blues in our house 

are not the sort to get you down. 

To be precise, they’re blue violas, 

light blue lobelias, lavender primulas 

and moody blues pansies. And 

they’re all excellent ways to inject 

some bright colour into your winter 

garden. 

If your garden is looking a little 

bland after your summer flowers 

have dried up, now is the time to 

plant these winter annuals. And if 

you’re not feeling so ‘blue’, many of 

these pretty flowers also come in 

shades of pinks, purples, whites and 

yellows as well. 

For the sunnier areas of your 

garden, look to antirrhinum dwarf, 

viscaria, nemesia and lobelia as 

good starting points for adding colour. 

They suit borders, mass planting 

or simply planted in between 

your roses. And for those slightly 

shadier spots, polyanthus, primulas 

and cineraria dwarf can all help add 

some bursts of colour. 

But if you’re not sure where 

to start, violas are a staple of any 

winter garden. You’ll find these cute 

little flowers in shades of oranges to 

yellow, dark blues, burgundy and 

white. 

If you’re wanting something new, 

try sorbet blue viola. It’s a cute little 

white and violet coloured flower, 

CONTRAST: White and violet viola, make sure your plants are 

around 10cm apart. 

still featuring the tiny yellow face 

that many violas often have. 

Plant your viola seedlings 10cm 

apart, in full sun with well-drained 

soil. They’ll flower from right now 

until spring, growing to around 

15cm high. Give them a good initial 

watering and feed of general fertiliser. 

Once they’ve got going, they 

won’t need much watering through 

the cooler months – the perk of a 

winter garden. 

In around four to six weeks, you’ll 

start to see a splash of colour pop 

up. Just remember to pick off the 

dead heads to encourage them to 

flower, and you’ll get to enjoy your 

colourful winter garden for many 

months ahead. 

And, if you’re a hanging basket 

enthusiast, combine your violas 

with some cascading lobelia and 

hang it near your front door to add 

some welcoming colour to your 

home. For a basket 30cm across, I 

really pack them in (around five to 

seven seedlings) in for a fuller effect. 

Now that’s a lot of reasons to get 

excited about the upcoming winter 

blues.

SELWYN TIMES 

Colorado makes easy work of cross trainer 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

YOU’D THINK after writing 

about cars for 

30 years there would be 

few things in a motor vehicle 

that would get the better of me in 

terms of technology. 

There’s nothing more 

embarrassing than having to go 

back to a dealership admitting 

defeat and asking how something 

works. 

Well, that happened to me with 

Holden’s latest Z71 Colorado, 

quite simply I couldn’t get the 

deck cover off. The friendly sales 

staff at Blackwells quickly showed 

me how it was done, and I was on 

my way. 

I was quite anxious to 

have access to the deck area 

as my wife’s cross trainer 

needed workshop repair, and 

transporting it on the back of a 

ute was the most sensible option. 

I also used it to take a load of 

green waste to the recycling 

centre. 

Quite obviously, these tasks 

were no match for the Colorado’s 

1000kg load capacity, but they 

did serve to prove how adaptable 

the modern ute has become, 

and if you add in a 3500kg tow 

rating the Colorado is right up 

there in terms of load carrying 

performance. 

However, as much as it is a 

standout in terms of practicality, 

the Z71 four-wheel-drive double 

cab is aimed more towards the 

recreational buyer, it has decals, 

stripes, body kit and a high level 

of specification, full leather trim 

is some indication as to how it sits 

in the market. 

There are also many unseen 

specification elements, the 

Colorado is state of the art in 

terms of electronic inclusions 

for safety, while comfort and 

convenience items are generous. 

It is very modern in the cockpit, 

while seating comfort for five is 

guaranteed. 

Under the bonnet sits a 

2.8-litre, four-cylinder twincamshaft 

turbocharged diesel 

engine. It is rated by Holden 

at 147kW, and with 500Nm of 

torque available at just 2000rpm 

it is a powerhouse, easily on a par 

with all of its competitors. 

Drive is harnessed through a 

six-speed automatic transmission. 

A manual is available, but it won’t 

compete with the auto in terms of 

sales figures. Bear in mind, too, 

the manual has a lower engine 

torque figure of 440Nm. 

Shifts in the auto are smooth, 

HOLDEN COLORADO Z71: Versatile, go-anywhere double cab 

ute. 

and the gearing is such that it 

provides relaxed motoring at 

highway speed, along with the 

ratios needed for slow speed, offthe-seal 

travel. 

Backing up that theory is 

the fitment of a true low ratio 

transfer box, it is manipulated 

electronically by a consolemounted 

dial switch at the 

driver’s command. 

Because I was travelling alone I 

didn’t take the 

Z71 off-road, instead, I spent 

most of my time 

with the Z71 at highway speed 

and my regular commute. In 

those conditions it seems more 

car-like than ute-like. 

Sure, at well over 5m there is a 

lot of bulk to manoeuvre in close 

confine situations, but it’s no 

worse than any other vehicle of 

its type. If you take into account 

the numbers that are being sold, 

buyers quite obviously don’t rate 

that as a challenge. 

On the open road, the engine 

turns over slowly at 1550rpm 

at 100km/h in top gear. At that 

speed it returns a 6.2-litre per 

100km (46mpg) instantaneous 

fuel usage figure and that 

accounted for a 9.4l/100km 

(30mpg) average figure during 

my time with the ute. 

That correlates well 

with the 8.7l/100km (32mpg) 

figure Holden claims for a 

combined cycle average. 

Road and wind noise are both 

kept to a minimum, and the 

Colorado as a series imparts 

a smooth ride. Of course, it is 

better with a bit of weight in the 

back, but the reality is the load 

bearing suspension is relatively 

absorbent and the cab doesn’t

• Fuel usage – 8.7l/100km 

jiggle unnecessarily on uneven 

surfaces. 

That’s an area where 

local research and development 

pays dividends. Holden Australia 

places a huge emphasis on 

developing vehicles for down 

under conditions, and 

it certainly shows in Colorado. 

The ride is acceptable, while and 

the entire in-cabin experience is 

comfortable. 

I guess it would need to be 

welcoming. The Z71 listing at 

$66,990 is a bit of an outlay, but 

if you get to the dealership before 

the end of June you will be in line 

for a tempting Feildays bargain, 

and with the amount of on-board 

kit it would be a very worthy 

purchase. 

Even though the 

Z71’s flashy bits disguise 

its traditional ute look, make 

no mistake, the Z71 is still the 

quintessential Colorado which 

has carved out a huge reputation 

as a tough, go-anywhere worker.

Jones Road Auto loving the 

new premises three months on 

Nigel and Lisa Fleck owner/operators 

of Jones Road Auto are very excited to 

welcome customers to visit them in their 

new purpose-built premises, which they 

moved into earlier this year. “We have 

been in the new building for three months 

and have been busy since day one, which 

we are very thankful to our fantastic 

customers,” said Lisa. 

Nigel has over 20 years of mechanical 

experience and Lisa is a qualified financial 

advisor, with experience working in the 

multi-faceted banking sector. Working 

together as a team they bring a great 

mix of skills, complementing each other 

perfectly. 

Nigel and Lisa love living in Selwyn and 

feel very lucky to live in such a vibrant and 

growing community. “Our passion for our 

business is really about the people, our 

incredible staff and our customers”. 

Jones Road Auto are very proud to 

employ a great team of experienced, high 

performing mechanics, and have upgraded 

their equipment in their new premises so 

they can offer the latest technology. “We 

have been really busy since we shifted and 

have taken on an additional three staff to 

keep up with demand,” said Lisa. “There is 

a much bigger workshop space, and extra 

equipment and staff means we're getting 

through a lot more work quicker than 

before, so there are shorter waiting times 

for bookings. There is a bigger carpark, 

which is full already!” 

A service advisor/dedicated mechanic 

is positioned in the front office, to be on 

hand to answer queries, quote jobs and 

generally assist customers on the spot. 

The new waiting room is a comfortable, 

relaxed space, with TV, free guest Wi- 

Fi, complimentary tea and coffee, and 

charging points for devices if required. 

Nigel and Lisa would love to see 

existing and new customers, and would 

like to thank customers for their loyalty 

and following them to the new location. 

They hugely value the local community, 

whose support has been incredible from 

the first day they opened their doors.

Hairdressers offer expertise 

and creativity at local salon 

The opening of the new strip of 

businesses at West Melton two and a half 

years ago brought vitality and diversity to 

the township, with the range of retail and 

service operations designed to meet the 

growing needs of local residents. 

Among these was The Salon, a stylish 

hairdressing salon owned and operated 

by Viki, an experienced hairdresser who 

previously worked in Christchurch, and 

has been in the industry for 23 years. 

Viki says the location of The Salon 

is ideal, as it is easily reached from 

surrounding towns including Darfield, 

where she lives, and Rolleston, as well as 

from Christchurch, and her clients come 

from all these areas, and West Melton itself. 

“I also enjoy being in a smaller 

community, rather than the busier city 

environment,” she says. 

Working alongside her is Millie, who 

has been hairdressing for 15 years, so 

The Salon clients have the benefit of both 

Viki and Millie’s extensive experience and 

expertise in all aspects of hairdressing. Viki 

and Millie have worked together for nine 

years. 

“We get on very well together – we’re a 

great team,” Viki says, “and we cater for all 

members of the family with cuts, colouring 

and styling.” 

Newest staff member Rebecca joined 

The Salon a few weeks ago, and is enjoying 

getting to know the clients. 

The Salon uses NAK (Natural Australian 

Kulture) products for both colouring and 

styling. 

“I chose NAK because the product range 

is Sulphate and Paraben free and features 

natural vegan ingredients, and the colour 

range is beautiful and gives true colour 

results,” Viki says. 

Viki, Millie and Rebecca are passionate 

about their craft and love to create a style 

and look to suit the individual. 

The Salon, 736 Weedons Ross Road, is 

open Tuesday to Friday, with late nights 

Tuesday and Thursday, and Saturday 

morning. To book an appointment phone 

347-0800.

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 

passion 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.

Winder was part of the Pure 

South Sharp Blacks team.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

Only eight submi sions were

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

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

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started

The preparation for this

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in 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.”

Presenting your home for sale? 

The presentation of your home 

doesn’t mean spending thousands 

on an upgrade either! So why 

wouldn’t you want to do everything 

possible to make it appealing to 

prospective purchasers? 

Street appeal 

The exterior of your home is the first 

thing buyers will see, so the property 

needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take 

a look at your place from the street and 

see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the 

lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add 

some garden lights and place a nice pot or 

plant by the front door. Ensure the house 

exterior is cleaned or freshened with new 

paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths 

and fences, put stylish new numbers on 

the house and perhaps buy a funky new 

letter box! 

Make an entrance 

Even if your entrance or hallway is 

small, you can still give it some wow! A 

large mirror adds light and makes an 

entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers, 

candles or a stylish piece of art create an 

inviting first impression. Ensure floors are 

clean whether timber, tiles or carpet. 

Create space 

Light, air and space are three key 

factors in presenting a home to the 

best advantage. Open up curtains 

and windows and use lamps and light 

fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange 

furniture to maximise space and remove 

items that make the room appear 

cramped. 

Fresh feel 

Freshen rooms with new paint if 

necessary, but aim for neutral tones which 

are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash 

of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or 

a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or 

bedspread and always make the bed! 

Clear out clutter 

Storage space sells but clutter 

complicates! Clean out your cupboards, 

shelves and garage, and get rid of 

unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect 

wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up 

and reduce the number of photos, books, 

nicknacks on display – they distract 

buyers, too! 

Beautify the bathroom 

Replace or resurface fittings if necessary, 

but otherwise you can simply beautify 

your bathroom with thorough and 

fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels, 

a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush, 

green plants. Invest in a new shower 

curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a 

sleek, modern towel rail. 

Clean clean clean 

Cleaning is a mandatory part of 

selling your home: have carpets, rugs 

and upholstery commercially cleaned 

and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to 

look like new, polish glass and furniture, 

wash down all surfaces and fittings in 

the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light 

fittings, wash windows inside and out, 

deodorise your home to eliminate any 

odours from pets, cooking or smoke. 

Outdoor spaces 

Even a small patio, deck or terrace 

can be enhanced with a café table and 

chairs. Add some colourful accessories – 

placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants, 

and there you have an extra living area. 

If space is not limited, hang a hammock, 

string some outdoor lights, position a 

garden sculpture or create a water feature 

that buyers will love. 

Hire a handyman 

Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked 

tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or 

appliances that don’t work are a turn-off 

for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace 

things yourself, then hire a handyman to 

make sure everything in your home works 

as it should. 

Finish it first 

Buyers want to see a finished home, 

not one that’s still being fixed! So finish 

everything before you list your home 

for sale, then launch it onto the market 

when it looks its absolute best – you have 

nothing to lose and everything to gain!

[Edition datE] 

Four things you MUST 

do before buying a home 

Buying a home is a big deal. It’s likely to be the most expensive thing you buy, and it can be a complicated legal 

process. It’s even tougher in a hot market, where there is a lot of competition for a limited number of properties. It 

might be tempting to take a few shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could cause more problems later. 

Here are our top four tasks for home 

buyers. 

1. Research the property 

The real estate agent selling the property 

acts on behalf of the seller, however they 

are also required to tell you everything 

they know about the property. They 

must respond professionally to all your 

enquiries and not withhold any details. 

Remember that you still need to do 

your own due diligence. That means 

getting a title search so you can find 

out all the facts about the property’s 

ownership, boundary and access, as 

held by Land Information New Zealand 

(LINZ). It’s a good idea to get a Land 

Information Memorandum (LIM), 

which shows information held by the 

local council about the property and 

land. For valuable feedback on the 

property’s condition, get a report done 

by an inspector who has professional 

indemnity insurance and carries out 

their work in accordance with the New 

Zealand Property Inspection Standard. 

Although this all costs money, it will 

save you more in the long term. Sellers 

may occasionally provide some of this 

information for you. If this happens, 

check that it is up-to-date. 

2. Get legal advice 

Buying property is expensive, and it 

can cost even more if something goes 

wrong. That’s why it’s important to get 

legal advice before you sign anything. 

A lawyer will handle all the paperwork 

involved in the process, including the 

title search, and offer impartial advice. 

If you don’t have a lawyer, the New 

Zealand Law Society can help you find 

one at propertylawyers.org.nz. 

3. Understand the sale process 

There are several methods of buying and 

selling property, for example, tender or 

auction. It’s important to understand the 

process for the property you are buying. 

Practices can vary between agencies 

so make sure you confirm details with 

them. The Home Buyer’s Guide at 

buyingahome.reaa.govt.nz has more 

helpful advice. 

4. Read the sale and purchase 

agreement and understand what it 

means 

The sale and purchase agreement is your 

contract with the seller. It is crucial to 

read it very carefully and get legal advice 

before you sign. You can negotiate the 

terms and conditions of an agreement, 

but once you sign it, there’s no going 

back.

best to securely block off the tops of any 

downpipes with a large rag or old towel. 

This prevents any of the collected sludge 

being washed down and potential causing 

a blocking. Beginning at one end, carefully 

scoop out any leaves and sludge (either 

with a purpose made gutter scoop or small 

plastic trowel) and deposit the debris in a 

bucket. Work your way along the length 

of each section of guttering, emptying the 

bucket as necessary. Once the guttering 

is clear of mess, remove the rag or towel 

and sluice the gutter with clean water, 

scrubbing (if necessary) with a stiff-bristled 

brush. 

Once you’re satisfied the inside of the 

gutter is clear and clean, use a preparatory 

house or paint wash (diluted with 

warm water to the recommended ratio) 

to carefully scrub the guttering and 

downpipes with a brush, rinsing off any 

soapy residue with clean water. For any 

really stubborn or unsightly areas of 

mould, consider using a preparatory moss 

and mould killer. While up the ladder, 

do a routine check on the condition of 

the guttering, ensuring that water runs 

away freely and there are no splits, gaps in 

the joints or broken brackets along each 

section. Check also along the edge of the 

roof for any potential maintenance issues 

as now is the time to address any signs of 

rust or other damage. 

BLOCKED DRAINPIPES 

Should the water not flow freely along the 

guttering and exit via the downpipe, it 

may be there’s a blockage in the downpipe 

that will need clearing. Begin by carefully 

feeding a garden hose down the top of the 

drainpipe until it stops; then turn it on 

full. This may be enough to dislodge the 

blockage. Failing that, consider using a 

length of strong wire or a thin rod to shift 

the compacted debris. For truly stubborn 

blockages, it may be necessary to remove 

the downpipe completely. Beginning at the 

bottom of the pipe, unscrew each bracket 

and carefully remove the downpipe (or 

each section, as necessary) and free the 

inside of any blockage with a piece of 

garden stake (or strong bamboo). sluice the 

pipe out with running water. In extreme 

cases it may be necessary to use a water 

blaster. Once unblocked, replace the pipe, 

screwing back the brackets in reverse 

order. 

PREVENTION 

Prevention is better than cure so consider 

placing plastic netting or mesh over 

guttering to act as a filter and stop leaves 

and other large debris causing a problem. 

There are also a number of other custommade 

gutter products on the market 

including brush-like ‘whiskers’ and other 

‘gutter guards’. Remember, however, 

that even with these gutter protectors 

you’ll still need to check your guttering 

system annually to ensure run-off flows 

freely. Small particles of dust and dirt can 

still accumulate underneath any gutter 

protector causing a build-up of sludge, and 

inhibiting water flow, both of which can 

lead to potential damage. If in doubt, seek 

advice from your building professional. 

TOP TIPS 

Instead of blocking downpipes with 

a rag or towel, consider installing a 

water diverter on each. This purpose 

made device is simple to fit and readily 

diverts debris from the downpipe by 

way of a plastic flap. When not being 

used, the flap is clicked the other way, 

and water will flow normally through 

the pipe and into the drain.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Showhome 

village opens at 

Falcon’s Landing 

Rolleston’s newest showhome village recently 

opened in Falcon’s Landing. Eight building 

companies are represented within the village, their 

contemporary homes reflective of modern living. 

Greenland Homes, Kevler Homes, Mike Greer 

Homes, Online Design and Build, Orange Homes, 

Pringle Homes, Signature Homes, and Touchstone 

Homes all have showhomes at Falcon’s Landing. 

Their innovative designs, quality fittings and a high 

degree of workmanship within each showhome are 

typical of Falcon’s Landing as a whole. 

Situated between Lincoln-Rolleston Road and 

Springston-Rolleston Road, Falcon’s Landing boasts a 

close proximity to Rolleston’s town centre, parks and 

schools. The development comprises 600 sections, 

ranging in size from 430sqm to 1,000sqm and 

starting at $158,000. 

Falcon’s Landing is proving popular with first and 

second home buyers as well as investors and building 

is already underway on 70 plus sections. In addition, 

another 30 from the recently released 50 sections in 

stage four are already spoken for. 

For nearly 20 years, Yoursection.nz has been 

creating quality residential communities throughout 

Canterbury. These include Levi Park in Rolleston, 

and Preston Downs and Wilfield in West Melton. 

The developer’s latest project is no exception. Falcon’s 

Landing features spacious entrances and attractive 

landscaping. Existing mature trees, once part of an 

orchard on the land, have been incorporated into 

the reserve areas. The result is tranquil community 

spaces and an established feel for this new 

neighbourhood. 

Rolleston’s growth seems irreversible. People are 

attracted by the opportunity to have an affordable 

new home and comfortable lifestyle with a touch of 

rural. Selwyn District Council’s future plans embrace 

the town’s growth and construction of a new library, 

community and town centre are due to get underway 

later this year. The motorway which is currently 

under construction will also mean faster travel into 

Christchurch. 

The expansion of Rolleston has seen new housing 

developments fill quickly and it is likely Falcon’s 

Landing will be no exception. 

Rolleston’s newest showhome village and the 

Falcon’s Landing section sales office are open 

Wednesdays to Sundays, from 12noon until 4pm; 

located on the corner of Lincoln-Rolleston Road and 

Falcon Road.
