road 

repairs 

‘a waste 

of money’ 

• By Devon Bolger 

ONGOING temporary repairs 

to Lincoln’s main street are 

substandard and wasting 

ratepayers’ money. 

That is the view of the Lincoln 

Community Committee which 

wants a planned relaying of the 

street fast tracked, a move the 

district council says is unlikely to 

happen. 

There have been 29 

unplanned repairs on Gerald St 

so far this year caused by issues 

with the foundation of the road. 

There are substrate problems 

making the road crack and 

deform. 

The number of repairs 

compare to 20 in 2018 and 27 in 

2017. 

The district council has plans to 

fully reconstruct the road as part 

of the Lincoln Town Centre Plan 

but not for at least another three 

years. 

It will be carried out in three 

stages with stage one from Kildare 

Tce to West Belt set to start in 

2023.

SELWYN TIMES 

I LIKE what is happening at Rolleston 

College (see pages 8-9). 

Students there are being given outside of 

the box scenarios and then challenged to 

argue and debate each situation. 

This year a group of 50 students have 

delved deep into the most mind-bending theories known to 

mankind and been forced to argue they contain truths. 

The class is called conspiracy and it covers matters like 9/11, 

whether man actually landed on the moon and other contested 

world events over the decades. It reminds me of a different kind 

of class I took at school – philosophy. My mates and I knew the 

teacher probably wouldn’t be there much. 

So class time became basketball and other sports time. 

Win, win you might say.

WINDWHISTLE School pupils 

have gone right to the top to 

ask for help from Mayor Sam 

Broughton around motorists 

speeding outside of the school. 

The children decided to write 

letters to the mayor as they felt 

he may be able to help, principal 

Bronwen Seaward said. 

She said 

they asked 

if he knew 

how they 

could get 

flashing 

signs installed 

like 

Bronwen 

Seaward 

they have 

noticed at 

other schools 

and about other solutions that 

might help.” 

Mr Broughton said it was 

great to receive the letters from 

the pupils. 

“It shows that they care about 

what’s going in the district and 

are taking some initiative to not 

just complain about something 

but to actually do something 

about it.” 

Last week Mr Broughton and 

councillor Bob Mugford visited 

the school to hear from the 

pupils. 

“We listened to the students 

concerns and the actions they 

were looking at taking,” Mr 

Broughton said. 

“The road is a state highway 

and controlled by the NZTA 

so is not under the discretion 

of our council. We said we can 

help advocate to the NZTA for 

improvements and invited them 

to attend the next road safety 

sub-committee meeting.” 

Mrs Seaward said the pupils 

think the speeding is because 

a hedge along the road means 

motorists don’t know there is a 

school behind it.” 

They also sought a quote for 

installing metal fencing as the 

children thought this would 

make them look more like a 

school. 

The quote revealed the fence 

would cost $18,000 plus GST 

which is too expensive and just 

not possible, she said.

The Rolleston Welfare Drop-In

been open at 95 Rolleston Drive

WEED KILLER WARNING 

Residents are being reminded not 

to spray the banks of water races 

with weed killer. A district council 

spokesperson said there has been a 

rise in the number of incidents of 

blanket spraying recently. The soil 

washing away leads to sediment in 

the water race. This can block it, 

which leads to increasing risk of 

flooding and contaminants in the 

water.

Councillors front up with quarry views 

As the October local 

body elections approach, 

Devon Bolger asks 

Environment Canterbury 

candidates what their 

views are on the 

controversial planned 

Fulton Hogan quarry 

between Weedons and 

Templeton 

IN NOVEMBER Fulton Hogan 

applied to ECan and the district 

council to establish a quarry 

between Curraghs, Dawsons, 

Maddisons and Jones Rds. 

There were 329 public 

submissions against the plan 

and a hearing is set to start on 

November 18 in which a panel of 

commissioners will determine 

whether the quarry will go 

ahead. 

Allen Lim – 

Ultimately the 

decision is up 

to the hearing 

commissioners. 

If it was up to 

me, I would 

certainly be 

considering the 

environmental 

impact of the operation, as 

well as the impact on the 

neighbouring residents, in 

terms of the number of truck 

movements, the noise, vibration, 

dust, and any health issues this 

might cause local residents. 

Then weighing all this up 

against possible mitigations and 

economic benefits. 

What I can promise is that 

I will always be open to ideas, 

will hear people out, and in 

every case, consider the social, 

cultural, environmental and 

economic values. 

Ian 

Mackenzie – 

Simple answer 

is I’m against 

the siting of 

this quarry. 

The Weedons/ 

Templeton/ 

Rolleston area 

has become an 

area of high residential growth 

and those residents come into 

the area with expectations. That 

would suggest industrial sites 

in this area, such as quarries, 

should be restricted to areas 

zoned for such activities, like 

the Rolleston Izone. It appears 

planning hasn’t kept up with 

the changing dynamics of the 

district and this is in danger of 

letting down both the residents 

and Fulton Hogan. 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Are you for or against Fulton Hogan’s 

proposed quarry between Weedons and Templeton? 

Email your views to georgia.oconnor@starmedia.kiwi 

APPLICATION: Fulton Hogan wants to establish a new quarry 

between Curraghs, Dawsons, Maddisons and Jones Rds. 

People and businesses want 

certainty. As ratepayers, we don’t 

want long-running expensive 

hearings and litigation. We 

lose because we fund it, we 

lose because the cost of doing 

business goes up, and we lose 

because the outcomes are 

uncertain. That’s not good for 

anyone. 

Sarah Walters – I am 

concerned that the current 

planning rules don’t allow 

for sufficient setback or 

consideration 

of the negative 

impacts, 

particularly on 

an established 

urban area. The 

controls for 

these activities 

are set down in 

the Regional Policy Statement, 

so it is in setting these guidelines 

that councillors and other 

parties have the opportunity 

to decide what is important. 

The RPS is a key document, 

which covers what activities 

are allowed and what factors 

should be considered, and is 

due to be reviewed during the 

next council term. Councillors’ 

views can vary widely in these 

areas. Unfortunately, there is 

no opportunity for individual 

councillors to influence 

outcomes of the commissioners 

hearing on the quarry. 

John Sunckell – What I 

can promise and have some 

influence over is that if the 

quarry is consented, I will ensure 

that all consent conditions and 

mitigations are met. 

ECan uses independent 

hearing 

commissioners 

to hear consent 

applications 

made under 

the Resource 

Management 

Act. 

As a councillor 

I have no ability 

to influence the decisionmaking 

process and therefore 

my support or otherwise of the 

Roydon Quarry is irrelevant. 

Those who oppose the proposed 

Roydon Quarry may not like 

my answer but those are the 

constraints within which we 

work.

Temporary solution failing 

•From page 1 

The community 

committee has told the 

district council it felt the 

temporary solution is 

failing and ratepayers’ 

money was being wasted 

with substandard work. 

Springs Ward councillor 

Grant Miller supports the 

community committee’s 

plea. 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: 

Are you fed-up with 

continual repairs 

on Gerald St? Email 

your views to devon. 

bolger@starmedia.kiwi 

“There must come a time 

where it’s more economical 

to put the finished product 

in place rather than repair,” 

Cr Miller said. 

“The reality is in the 

meantime ratepayers are 

having to deal with quite 

a difficult road that keeps 

getting worse.” 

Community committee 

chairwoman Kathryn 

Claridge wouldn’t discuss 

the matter with the Selwyn 

Times, because the group 

was in dialogue with the 

district council. 

The community committee 

is going back to the 

district council to express 

its continued concern 

about the issue. 

District council transportation 

team leader Mark 

Chamberlain told Selwyn 

Times said Gerald St would 

be maintained in the most 

prudent manner until the 

scheduled relaying. 

ONGOING: Issues with 

the road foundation are 

causing potholes and 

cracking on Lincoln’s 

Gerald St. 

But Cr Miller said he 

remains unconvinced that 

strategy is going to work. 

“I have advocated with 

the staff that we think the 

best thing to do is to bring 

forward the rehabilitation 

of the whole road and to 

stop wasting ratepayer 

money on repairs,” he said. 

“The soil conditions 

under the road just aren’t 

able to handle the level of 

traffic that’s going on it 

now and it’s only going to 

get worse.”

Comedy show 

performer not for the faint-hearted 


A KIWI comedian making 

waves in America will perform 

at the International Comedy 

Festival in Lincoln next month. 

Jarred Fell is currently 

competing on NBC’s Bring 

The Funny TV show and will 

perform in the semi-finals next 

week. 

Festival organiser David Parlane 

said Fell isn’t for the fainthearted 

but is an outstanding 

performer through and through. 

“He’ll have you scratching 

your head about what he just did 

on stage and you’ll be in hysterics 

at the same time.” 

The comedy show will also 

feature Dai Henwood as the 

headlining act. 

Up-and-coming acts will 

perform alongside Henwood, 

including NZ Comedy Guild 

newcomer and award-winning 

Irish comic Alan McElroy and 

Billy T Award nominee Donna 

Brookbanks. 

Mr Parlane said it is one of the 

best line-ups in international 

comedy. 

“Heading into our fourth year 

I believe the performers this 

time around are truly outstanding. 

It just gets better and better 

each year.” 

Preparations for the show are 

going wonderfully and everyone 

involved is excited for the big 

night, Mr Parlane said. 

“We’ve got a good team 

behind us and everything is on 

track to be a great night.”

THE DISTRICT council will

bins in the coming weeks. 

The tags are about the size 

of a thumb and will provide 

accurate records of what type 

and how many bins each property 

has. 

Bins will need to be left out 

until 6pm on their collection day 

when the tagging crew is in the 

area and a small yellow sticker 

will be applied when a tag has 

been fitted. 

Residents will be notified by

stocktake shows that someone 

has a bin that wasn’t originally 

allocated to their property they 

will be given the option to keep 

the bin and pay for it, or for it to 

be removed. 

The stocktake and tagging of 

the district’s 51,000 bins will begin 

in September and is expected 

to take six to eight months to 

complete.

Young myth busters: Cracking the 

Conspiracy theories, 

fake news, true or false? 

These are the questions 

a class of Rolleston 

College students are 

pondering over. Sophie 

Cornish reports 

THERE IS a big difference 

between convincing your teacher 

the dog ate your homework and 

persuading them the earth is flat. 

What about debating with your 

school principal that the country 

of Australia doesn’t actually exist? 

Highly unlikely. 

But for a group of Rolleston 

College students, believing the 

impossible could actually be possible 

is what is helping them gain 

their NCEA qualifications. 

This year, a group of 50 students 

have delved deep into the 

most mind-bending theories 

known to man and been forced 

to argue they contain truths. 

The debating assessment, 

where students were given a 

conspiracy to argue for or against 

is part of the school’s intriguing 

new class – conspiracy. 

Students are taught to critically 

think and question what they 

read with a discerning eye, all 

while gaining both literacy and 

science NCEA credits. 

In an age of ‘fake news’ and 

unlimited information at their 

fingertips, three students, Samuel 

Pearson, Joy Su and Ethan 

Richards-White, say the class 

has prompted new discussions in 

their lives and taught them how 

to question fact from fiction. 

The most widely-debated theories 

are covered including 9/11, 

the moon landing, Illuminati and 

the earth being flat. 

However, more modern, controversial 

and eye-brow raising 

discussions also take place in the 

classroom. 

Do vaccines cause autism? Has 

the cure for cancer already been 

discovered? Does eating meat 

cause cancer?

For Samuel, he showed the contrasting 

belief that secret group, 

Illuminati, is the higher controller 

of the our existence, while Joy 

and Ethan debated the theory of 

aliens, whether they control us or 

are living in the highly-classified, 

Area 51. 

Along with this, a publicspeaking 

assessment saw the class 

be divided into groups and given 

a topic and viewpoint, which they 

were required to debate, all while 

being judged by their principal, 

Steve Saville. 

At first, Joy seemed disappointed 

she was given the task 

of arguing that vaccines cause 

autism. 

But, delving into medical 

research for the debate made her 

realise she may consider medicine 

as a career path in future. 

“Trying to understand every 

medical term was hard. It has 

made me more curious about 

medicine. It (the class) helps you 

to see what your interests are,” 

she said.

conspiracy theories 

Ethan admitted he got a little 

bit sceptical with his debate topic. 

“I did the earth is flat, on the affirmative 

side. Actually, we won. 

Mainly because I bombarded 

them with a lot of facts . . . I got 

a little bit convinced that the 

earth was flat for a bit there, 

mainly because I dived deep into 

the Flat Earth Society and stuff 

and I was like ‘hold on’ . . . but no 

. . . I believe that it is round, but 

somehow we won that debate,” 

he said. 

After discussing conspiracies 

with his dad, Samuel thought he 

would choose the class, to put 

GREAT CONSPIRACY THEORIES 

1. Illuminati controlling 

the world – This conspiracy 

proposes a secret group called 

Illuminati has been controlling 

the world and is looking to create 

a one world government. Their 

end goal is supposedly to create 

the New World Order, which will 

dissolve national boundaries 

and people’s identities, while 

allowing for total authoritarian 

control. It is alleged several 

politicians and celebrities are in 

the group, including Beyonce, 

Jay-Z and Madonna. 

2. The moon landing was 

a cover-up – Fifty years on, 

the hoax theory still exists. 

Some people believe the 

significant scientific and political 

achievement did not happen 

and that its appearance was 

orchestrated by NASA and the 

United States Government. The 

motive, as part of the Cold War, 

was allegedly done to raise 

national pride and one-up their 

arch-rival, the Soviet Union, and 

win the Space Race. The most 

common theory which leads 

people to believe it was fake 

was photos from the mission 

which show a flag moving in the 

wind, something that should not 

happen as there is no wind in 

space. 

3. Who killed JFK? – The 

an interesting spin on learning 

literacy. 

“I was looking at something 

different; I thought it would be 

an interesting thing to look into. 

It was things I was in to, writing, 

reading, researching, as well as 

the science part of it. 

“Now, when I see an article 

about someone who believes in a 

conspiracy theory, because of this 

class, you can see that perspective 

more. You realise they aren’t just 

being funny or seeking attention, 

they actually believe this kind of 

stuff and you can see if from their 

point of view,” he said. 

assassination of American 

president, John F Kennedy – 

A large national survey in the 

United States in 2013 found 51 per 

cent of Americans believe there 

was a conspiracy behind the 

killing of JFK during a motorcade 

in Dallas in 1962. The shooter, 

Lee Harvey Oswald, got the 

official blame. However, theories 

believe other parties such as the 

CIA, KGB or the Mafia, may have 

played a role. Other theories 

suggest there was more than 

one gunman and that more shots 

were fired than officially claimed. 

Possible motives include the 

Bay of Pigs invasion, a failed US 

military invasion of Cuba by the 

CIA or that his death was at the 

request of vice-president, Lyndon 

Johnson. 

4. Was 9/11 an inside job? – 

The terror attack on September 

11, 2001, caused one of the most 

popular and widely-discussed 

conspiracy theories. Multiple 

theories of the event have been 

discussed, mainly implicating 

the United States’ Government 

as causing the attacks in order 

to blame al-Qaeda and start war 

with Iraq. Theories claim jet fuel 

from the planes could not melt 

the steel beams of the World 

Trade Centre towers, which 

they believe were actually 

brought down by a controlled 

demolition. 

5. The elusive Area 51 – 

Conspiracy theorists 

believe that the remains of 

crashed UFO space crafts 

are stored at Area 51. The 

highly-classified mysterious 

Air Force base in Nevada, is 

where Government scientists 

allegedly reverse-engineer the 

aliens’ advanced technology. 

The theories have come 

from a variety of supposed 

UFO sightings in the area and 

testimony from a retired army 

colonel, who says he was 

given access to extra-terrestrial 

materials gathered from an 

alien spacecraft that crashed in 

Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. 

Some believe the Government 

studies time travel at Area 51, 

also known as Groom Lake or 

Dreamland.

Rock solid way to bring community together 


AN INITIATIVE to bring the 

community together through 

painting and finding rocks is 

sweeping through the district. 

Selwyn Rocks was started by 

the Selwyn Lions Club as a way 

to generate community spirit. 

Lions club member Kathy 

Dore said they have had a great 

response from the community 

since launching the initiative 

earlier this year. 

“Especially as certain parks 

like Prebbleton become more 

popular for rock hunting. Then 

people upload precious photos of 

young kids with massive smiles 

on their faces holding a painted 

rock as if it was the most amazing 

thing they have ever seen.” 

Taking part in the Selwyn 

Rocks initiative is simple, Mrs 

Dore said. 

“Just paint something inspiring 

or cheerful on a rock and leave it 

for someone to find. Then upload 

a photo of it to our Facebook 

rock page stating the area it is in 

so people know and wait and see 

what journey it takes.” 

“Some of mine have even 

gone overseas. There is actually 

one on the top of a mountain in 

Germany right now.” 

Canterbury’s fastest selling 

new subdivision 

CREATIVE: Selwyn Lions Club president Helen Allison with 

her grandaughter Sarah (left) and club member Kathy Dore’s 

daughter Stacey paint rocks to hide. 

The Facebook page currently 

has 250 active members who 

post daily about finding and 

hiding rocks around the district. 

Mrs Dore said she was introduced 

to rock painting by a 

friend just over a year ago while 

holidaying in Hanmer Springs. 

“I loved it so much that I went 

home and I haven’t stopped 

DECORATIVE: Fifty painted 

rocks were found in 

Rolleston’s Parekura Reserve 

as part of an initiative to bring 

the community together. 

painting rocks since. I probably 

paint for about three to four 

weeks with my daughter.” 

Her only hope for the initiative 

is that it brings the community 

together, Mrs Dore said. 

“No matter your skill level at 

painting I hope it gives pleasure 

from the simple act of sharing 

some love and kindness. For 

those who find a rock, maybe it 

gives them a boost and makes 

their day better.” 

If you want to get involved, 

visit the Selwyn Rocks Facebook 

page for details about the next 

community rock painting event 

in October.

about the 

new club 

We’re a new 

club and want 

to do things in a new and fun 

way. 

If you come along to one of 

our meetings you won’t find a 

room full of white-haired men 

discussing the finer points of 

golf, but rather a delightful blend 

of multi-generational people 

wanting to be involved in the 

community and enhance the lives 

of our local people. 

We’re business owners, wage 

earners, parents and volunteers 

from all walks of life. 

We understand that time is 

precious, which is why we meet 

just once a fortnight and will have 

flexible joining options like family 

memberships rather than just 

individual ones. 

What do you think Rolleston 

needs? Do you want to be 

involved in making a difference? 

We have a few projects in the 

works already but our main focus 

right now is growing our club. 

Why not come to a meeting and 

see what it’s all about? 

There’s no obligation to join 

and our members provide delicious 

baking and even a glass of 

wine. 

You’ll meet a whole range of 

new people and be part of an 

organisation that has over a 

million members all around the

I WAS WRONG last week, so I’d 

best correct myself. 

The church in Laura’s home 

village of Pravisdomini is about 

1000 years old, rather than 600, 

and was built some time after 

Attila the Hun and his band of 

merry men “toured” an ageing 

Roman Empire. 

Apparently there’s also a whole 

mess of the bones of Vittoria’s 

ancestors a metre or so under the 

church lawn too. 

Vittoria’s been living the high 

life this last week. 

After recovering from the side 

effects of antibiotics, she’s been 

accompanying us on a fairly busy 

circuit of friends, family, nearby 

towns and villages.

this?” accompanied by furious

with the words “rubbish” and 

“finished”, although I’m still not 

sure she’s got it yet. It just kind of 

sounds like “ish” either way.

noticed. With Italian (or the local

of Laura’s relatives) surrounding 

her almost all day, every day, Vittoria 

can now understand a few

I mean respond physically –

possible when we return home, 

I think I might see about leaving 

the timetable behind.

Season of growth capped off with title 

SPORT 

• By Jacob Page 

ELLESMERE College netball 

coach Jan Roberts described 

the season as “one of growth” 

– but her team still won the 

SuperNet Reserve final 24-20 

last week. 

They took down Riccarton 

High School at Pioneer 

Stadium to claim the title. But 

Roberts said her main aim 

this season was to rebuild 

the squad with five of her 

10-strong squad new to the 

competition. 

“We only have four senior 

players this year, so we looked 

at it as a development year. But 

I thought about five games in 

that these girls are listening 

and asking questions then 

putting it out on court. 

“Our shooting stats are

ALL SELWYN netball grades 

are back on schedule after 

premier grade action took a 

break on Saturday.

president Andrea James said

was already booked, so the 

Resene cardholder special! 

always quite high and we 

are lucky that my seniors are 

sprinkled out throughout the 

court,” said Roberts. 

At 15-15 with one quarter 

to go in the final, Ellesmere 

produced a dominant final 

quarter to win the competition 

for the first time. 

“I asked at the final break if 

they wanted it and they said 

decision was made to not play 

on Saturday instead of moving 

games to the West Melton 

Community Centre. 

The decision also means all 

grades could now finish the 

season at the same time after 

lower-grade games played 

outdoors were called off two 

weeks ago due to wet weather. 

they did and that they were 

going to look after the ball and 

work hard for each other, and 

that’s what happened.” 

Ellesmere then scored nine 

goals in the final quarter to 

pull away. 

Their next focus will be 

to try and remain in the top 

grade of the South Island 

secondary schools netball 

Ms James said the decision to 

move the premier schedule in 

line with the lower grades was 

passed on in an email to clubs 

on August 13 and had more to 

do with logistics, particularly 

umpiring resources, than 

saving money by not using the 

West Melton venue.

“It’s the first time in more 

than a decade to not be in 

the B grade so the aim is to 

stay there. I have absolute 

confidence in this team that 

they will maintain their place 

and my aim is to motivate the 

younger ones coming through 

for next year.”

Outstanding service recognised at 

Malvern Community Awards 

The recipients of the Malvern Community Board Community Service Awards 2019, from left to right, back row: 

Samuel Ireland, Mike Davies, Carol Gurney, Craig Moody, Errol Ashby and Malvern Community Board Chair Jenny Gallagher. 

Front row: Bailey Inwood, Daisy Prosser, Rebecca Inch and Jenny Walter. 

Long service and new was recognised at the Malvern Community Awards. Ten people received 

awards for their service to the community at the ceremony in Darfield on Friday night. 

A group of five St John youth received the inaugural Youth Community Service award. Rebecca 

Inch, Samuel Ireland, Daisy Prosser, Bailey Inwood and Jenny Walter were recognised for 

completing their St John Senior Shield Badge which includes doing over 100 hours of volunteering. 

The group also won five categories at this year’s St John Mid Canterbury Youth Competition. 

Five Community Service Awards were also given to long-standing volunteers Mike Davies, Reg 

Anderson, Craig Moody, Carol Gurney and Errol Ashby. 

Mr Davies was recognised for his volunteer work as a Civil Defence first responder looking after 

neighbours in Hororata following the earthquakes and helping protect houses from flooding, along 

with looking after the Hororata Domain and church grounds at his own expense and managing car 

parking at big community events including the Hororata Night Glow. 

A Justice of the Peace and 23-year member of the Glentunnel Township Committee, Mr Anderson 

was noted as a strong, community-minded man always willing to get involved and support others. 

Mr Moody received his award for his active, practical involvement in many different community 

groups including the Glentunnel Community Centre Committee, Coalgate Township Committee, 

Glentunnel Reserve Committee, Glentunnel Indoor Bowls and Glentunnel Museum. 

Mrs Gurney was recognised for her efforts as a willing volunteer at many community events and 

for setting up the second-hand clothing stall ‘Carol’s Closet’, which raises money for the Hororata 

Anglican Parish. 

Mr Ashby received his award for his work as founding chairman of the Malvern Community Patrol, 

a member of the Malvern Community Vehicle Trust and a Red Cross Meals on Wheels volunteer. 

Hundreds helped to prevent family violence 

More than 150 teachers have taken part in workshops to help prevent family harm in Selwyn. 

The workshops in Rolleston and Darfield were organised by the new Selwyn Safer Families group— 

made up of organisations committed to preventing family harm in the district. 

Selwyn Safer Families is a sub-group of the Council’s Wellbeing Forum, which brings together social 

and health service providers in the district. 

The workshops saw 170 school teachers learn the skills of recognise, response and referral for 

identifying and addressing harm in our community, Celine Donovan, a victim specialist from Battered 

Women’s Refuge, says. 

“We covered the dynamics of family violence, because it’s not always visible and there’s a lot of myths 

around it. We covered how to recognise it, respond, and how do you get help for the victims and for 

people who are being violent – what help there is out there.” 

The group is exploring what the specific needs in Selwyn are, and education is a key part of its focus on 

preventing family violence. The workshops were a first step to see how interested the community is and 

they were blown away by the response, she says. 

West Rolleston School Deputy Principal Amanda Clarkson attended the Rolleston workshop and says it 

was an eye-opener and very positive and helpful. 

“It was really informative. It’s good for us to have learnt what to be looking out for, realising the little 

things. The big thing was knowing there is going to be support from police out here in Selwyn that we 

can access and they can come and work with our teachers.” 

Selwyn Safer Families came about from a discussion between Police and Council. Council Community 

Services and Facilities group manager Denise Kidd says Council was delighted by the response to the 

workshops and the support being offered by police and the Selwyn Safer Families group. 

“Selwyn is a better place when we have a strong community that looks after each other. The work of 

Selwyn Safer Families is an important way to make that happen and it’s fantastic to see the community 

embracing that.” 

Council begins project to tag bins 

Council will begin its roll out of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) 

tags for rubbish, recycling and organics bins in the coming weeks. 

The stocktake and tagging of the district’s 51,000 bins will begin in 

September and is expected to take six to eight months to complete. 

It will see addresses checked for all bins and an RFID tag about 

the size of a thumb tip fitted to each bin. The tag is automatically 

scanned each time the bin is collected. 

“The project will allow the Council to easily maintain accurate 

records of the numbers and types of bins at each property instead 

of relying soley on labels and serial numbers. This means database 

accuracy is maintained remotely, allowing for a more efficient 

service and to ensure fair charging for all,” Council solid waste 

manager Andrew Boyd says. 

People will be informed by letterbox flyer, and text message if mobile 

numbers are on file, when the stocktake team is in their area. You will 

be asked to make sure your address is visible on the label on the side 

of their bins or to write it on the lid. 

While the tagging crew is in the area, bins will need to be left out 

until 6pm on your collection day. This is because the tagging crew 

are operating separately to the collection truck. A small round 

yellow sticker will be applied to the side of each bin once the tag 

has been fitted. 

If the stocktake shows that someone has a bin that wasn’t originally 

allocated to their property they will be given the option to keep the 

bin and pay for it, or for the Council to remove it, Mr Boyd says. 

“It’s a clean slate so we won’t be charging people for bins that have 

not been in our system previously. But in the future once all the tags 

are on, only bins tagged to your property will be collected.” 

Leading Learners 

New drivers in the district are being offered the opportunity to 

upskill with a half-day, practical course to gain valuable safety skills. 

The leading learners course, for drivers with a learner licence, sees 

professional driving instructors take the teens on a series of activities 

on a track. These include driver distraction, emergency braking, skid 

avoidance and driving on different road surfaces. Attendees also 

complete a one hour driving session on the road with a professional 

instructor. The on-road session will allow the instructor to assess 

where the teen is at and what they need to work on. 

Council road safety coordinator Pete Daly says the $20 course is a 

great opportunity for young people in Selwyn. 

“It’s an experience that you couldn’t normally get, with great 

professional instructors and for just $20.” 

Drivers must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver for the 

course and Mr Daly says it’s a good day for the adults too, who are 

fully involved in the day. 

“We’ve found it actually benefits the parent or caregiver almost as 

much as the learner driver because they’re being reminded of things 

or learning new things.” 

Leading Learners will run on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 

September, 8am–1.30pm. For more informaiton or to register visit

Southbridge Shield returns to Ellesmere

Wilkins makes a break. 


THE SOUTHBRIDGE Shield is 

on the move again. 

A calm, calculated approach 

helped Ellesmere regain the 

shield with a 41-28 win over 

North Canterbury at Loburn on 

Saturday. 

Team manager Michael Sheat 

said in spite of only leading 

by a point with 10min to play, 

confidence was high on and off 

the field. 

“We were all pretty calm on 

the sidelines and the guys on 

the field knew what to do and 

executed well under pressure,” 

he said. 

Ellesmere eventually 

wore down a spirited 

North Canterbury side to 

ensure the shield changed 

hands for the third 

successive year. 

North Canterbury won 

the shield in Prebbleton 12 

months ago. 

Ellesmere had a 17-14 lead 

at half-time but conceded a 

try moments after the restart. 

However, a Sam Cottam try from 

a driving maul put the visitors in 

front for good. 

Ellesmere out-scored North 

Canterbury six tries to four, 

while Shannon Donald added

Southbridge Shield with a 41-28 win over North Canterbury. 

four conversions and a penalty. 

A key moment came when 

Ellesmere lock Issy Fine was 

yellow-carded before half-time. 

“I think we just got on with 

it and our forwards were still 

pushing their scrum back with 

seven players,” Sheat said. 

Ellesmere did not 

concede a point during 

that period and it set them 

up for the second half. 

“Obviously we got a 

couple of late tries with 

passes finally sticking, 

which was good. 

“I don’t think we 

finished as many of our 

chances as we could have but you 

had to give credit to the North 

Canterbury defence. 

“They never gave up and made 

us work hard for it,” Sheat said. 

He said there was “speculation” 

around several players 

potentially retiring after the 

game, but he said it would be a 

case of wait and see if the talk 

held up next season.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

Touring on a small bike 

Two locals, two small motorcycles and one big 

adventure! This is how Simon Dellis and Vicki Taylor 

describe their trip along the Trans America Trail, 

creating a YouTube series under the name Kiwi Grom 

as a living photo album for friends and others to enjoy. 

Simon and Vicki have only been riding for three 

years. They imported two 125cc Honda Grom small 

motorcycles from Australia, modifying them so they 

were more comfortable and easier to ride off-road. 

Designed for around town use, Vicki says the bikes 

are easy to ride so ideal for inexperienced riders. 

“Hondas are renowned for their reliability and the 

Groms not your typical bike. 

They’re small, accessible, not 

intimidating and a lot of fun as 

long as you don’t overload them. 

You need to be careful and take it 

slower, which gives you a chance to 

enjoy the scenery,” explains Simon. 

They have been on a few trips 

around the South Island, camping 

and exploring. 

“There are lots of good offroad 

adventure trails, especially 

in Otago,” adds Simon who used 

the website, RemoteMoto.com 

for maps and information about 

accessibility and grading of tracks. 

Their next adventure involved 

taking the bikes to the United 

States, to follow the Trans America 

trail from New York to Port Orford 

in Oregon, a trail which has been 

a favourite with motorcyclists for 

around 30 years. It took Vicki and 

Simon 45 days to complete 11,397 

kilometres. 

“It’s was a lot of fun. We have 

little intercoms on our helmets so we can talk to each 

other while riding. We camp as much as possible 

though sometimes look for a comfortable bed and 

hot shower at the end of the day,” says Vicki. 

It took Vicki and Simon 45 days 

to complete 11,397 kilometres. 

“Sometimes it’s whatever is available wherever we 

end up,” adds Simon. 

Simon sourced the Trans America route details 

from Sam Corerro in the United 

States, who created the trail. Sam 

selects and sells GPS and paper 

options for suitable tracks, much 

of which is off-road linked with 

back roads. The actual track 

changes every year depending on 

which areas are open. There were 

times when a road was closed due 

to a wash-out or forest fire but 

Simon says part of the adventure 

is figuring a way round. 

Simon and Vicki are now 

thinking about their next 

overseas adventure and musing 

with the idea of touring around 

Japan. 

“Japan is not well known for 

off-road motorcycling so we’re 

keen to explore the country and 

see what experiences we can 

create. We’re also planning to 

ride from the top of the North 

Island to the tip of the South 

Island, as much off-road as we 

can,” suggests Simon.

New structural repair centre in Rolleston 

Holland’s new structural repair facility. 

The new facility is fully equipped. 

Damage incurred in a serious accident 

can impair a vehicle’s structural integrity, 

leaving it not roadworthy and unsafe. 

Any structural repairs to a vehicle should 

be carried out by fully qualified panel 

beaters using the right equipment to ensure 

structural integrity is restored. 

Just opened at Holland Collision Centre, 

is a new and spacious 528sqm structural 

repair centre. Cameron Holland has not 

spared any expense in equipping the new 

facility with the right equipment so the 

safety and integrity is returned to every 

vehicle worked on. 

The new structural repair facility is 

located across the road from Holland 

Collision Centre’s existing premises, 

allowing the structural and non-structural 

repair work to be separated. Smaller two 

and three day jobs will still be undertaken 

within the main premises on the west side 

of Jones Road, while the new purpose built 

facility will specialise in structural repairs. 

“The team in the new centre are all fully 

qualified and experienced panel beaters, 

holding the ICAR Welding Qualification,” 

advises Cameron. 

Holland Collision Centre is officially 

recognised by all insurance companies, and 

all vehicles repaired come with a lifetime 

guarantee. 

“You are entitled to choose your own 

repairer and will want to select a collision 

centre with the right equipment to bring 

back the safety and integrity to your 

vehicle,” advises Cameron. 

The new structural repair centre will 

ensure a top rate job and quick turnaround, 

assisted by the facilities across the road 

where there is a state of the art painting 

booth. Waterborne non-toxic paints are 

used with the paint quickly heater blowdried 

for a smooth sharper factory finish. 

Along with the new structural repair 

centre, there are now 14 cars available 

from Holland Collision Centre’s loan fleet. 

You will now be able to drop your car off 

for repairs, assured you will have a vehicle 

while yours is being worked on. 

Holland Collision Centre looks after fleet 

work; trucks; sandblasting and finishing 

of farm machinery; horse floats; trailers;

and other small to large vehicles. They also 

do air conditioning re-gassing and plastic 

welding.

RETURN: The Ellesmere Colts regained the Munro Shield 

with a 15-5 win over North Canterbury. 

Dominant Ellesmere take 

back the Munro Shield 

• Jacob Page 

THE ELLESMERE colts have 

regained the Munro Shield 

after a 15-5 win over North 

Canterbury at Loburn on 

Saturday. 

Team manager Dave Beatty 

said they were keen to throw 

the ball around and create 

opportunities while playing on 

a dry track for the first time in 

the four-week campaign. 

“I’m not sure what the stats 

were, but we must have had 

70 per cent of the ball and we 

certainly wanted to make the 

most of the conditions.” 

Beatty said the platform was 

laid with their dominance at 

set-piece time. 

“We certainly had the better 

of the scrums and lineouts. It’s 

GARDENING 

ALTHOUGH HINTS of spring 

are occurring regularly, late frosts 

can still occur and cold winds are 

often a feature of September. 

Even though it may feel 

warmer, soil temperatures rise at 

a slower rate than air temperatures. 

It’s time for final preparation of 

your vege garden before planting 

starts in earnest in October. If 

the soil is still wet, delay digging 

as there is no advantage working 

with very wet soil. 

Plant out veges that can withstand 

late cold conditions while 

still maturing in the warmer 

a cliché but it helped us play the 

way we wanted to. 

“The boys wanted to show 

what we could do and, as the 

confidence grew, they threw 

50/50 passes and that certainly 

contributed to us feeling like we 

left a few points out there.” 

Beatty praised the looseforwards, 

saying both the 

starters and reserves who 

came on late in the game made 

strong contributions. He also 

gave credit to second-five Sam 

Schmack for his defensive effort. 

•Lincoln Combined also 

won the UC Championship 

bowl final 29-27 against Shirley 

Boys’ High School. The result 

at Lincoln High meant the 

team finished ninth in the 

competition.

cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, 

lettuces, onions, peas radish,

Winter flowing annuals such 

as primulas are now coming to

can plant out some of the more 

robust summer flowering annuals 

in September like alyssum, 

calendula, cornflower, nemesia, 

snapdragons, strawflowers and

In many areas, roses have burst

Mackenzie Whittington

Talia Keen was second and 

Holly Manders was sixth overall 

in the elite category. Libby

Ashley Bacon finished sixth

Lola Rendle was sixth in the

Xander Delahunty won the 

men’s artistic gymnastics bronze 

category, while Riley Flewellen 

finished second. 

Teen bows out of world champs 

bushes are usually clean of fungal 

diseases and flowers will soon be 

abundant. Mulch now with fresh 

compost then apply rose and 

flower fertiliser in early October. 

Bulbs are blooming and adding 

fragrance and colour to the 

garden. Newer plantings can be 

left in the ground to naturalise in 

permanent positions so don’t lift 

them. 

Winter flowering trees and 

shrubs will be nearing the end of 

their flowering period so it’s time 

for remedial pruning before the 

new seasons growth begins. 

Prune to establish a natural 

form and shape of your trees and 

shrubs. With smaller gardens, 

you may wish to prune to maintain 

trees at a smaller size. 

Apply a copper fungicide as 

a preventer to summer fungal 

diseases on berry fruit including 

raspberries, boysenberries, blackcurrants 

and gooseberries, 

As the soil temperatures rise, 

this is an ideal time to sow a new 

lawn, or renovate an existing 

lawn. Check the drainage and improve 

any permanently wet areas 

before sowing. Leave fertilising 

your lawn until late September/ 

early October.

Klezmer music with The Kugels - 

wild, spirited and haunting 

Malvern residents have a unique 

opportunity to enjoy three top 

musicians and a celebrated composer 

have joined together in their love of 

klezmer, the feisty 19th century folk 

music of the Jewish people. The Kugels 

will perform at Trinity Church Darfield 

on Thursday, 29 August. 

Robin Perks, Debbie Rawson and 

Jacqueline Nordon, former members of 

the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, 

and composer/New Zealand Arts 

Laureate Ross Harris were a great hit 

when they toured with AOTNZ in 2016. 

Now they’re back again with music that 

makes you want to dance. 

The programme features the original 

Klezmer compositions of accordionist/ 

NZ Arts Laureate Ross Harris, 

interspersed with music from the 

traditional repertory – originally played 

at weddings and other celebrations in 

Eastern and Central Europe. 

Featuring the highly expressive sound 

of violin, clarinet, accordion and bass, 

laced with the multi-talented reeds of 

Debbie Rawson on soprano sax, clarinet, 

bass clarinet and the Maui Xaphoon, The 

Kugels bring these exciting and evocative 

songs to the stage, together with an 

informative and engaging commentary. 

The Kugels will share their passion and 

skill for this music at Trinity Church 

Darfield on Thursday, 29 August at 

7.00pm. Tickets — $20/adult and $10/ 

student — are available at the Selwyn 

Gallery or at the door.

Mobile dog grooming 

a popular choice 

Jim’s Dog Wash is a professional company 

committed to offering New Zealanders 

a mobile dog grooming service tailored 

to satisfy all your dog’s needs. Instantly 

recognisable by their iconic red doggie 

salons, Jim’s Dog Wash stand behind the 

fidelity of their brand. The company’s 

operators are dedicated groomers with a 

deep love and respect for dogs and have a 

passion for the industry. 

There has been exciting growth of 

the business due to popularity of the 

service they offer with new franchisees in 

Christchurch, Rangiora, Kaiapoi and two 

in Selwyn in the last 18 months. 

“Selwyn is such a community-oriented 

district; the support of dog owners has been 

amazing,” says Regional Franchisor Jill 

Smolenski. “It is early days! We currently 

have more franchises for sale. People will 

do amazingly well by buying into the 

business now.” 

Being a franchisee opens a world of 

opportunities with an extensive network 

of support at your fingertips, sharing 

knowledge both as groomers and business 

owners. Jim’s Group provide all the 

equipment and uniforms. They offer 

franchisees training in both business 

and dog grooming. Franchisees are 

carefully selected and trained by 

some of New Zealand’s best 

dog grooming instructors. As 

soon as they have done their 

training they are ready to hit 

the road. 

Jim’s operators offer 

customers the convenience 

of travelling to their home 

while still offering the same 

high standard of grooming 

found in a grooming clinic. “The fact that 

we come to you is a key to the success of 

our business as it takes the pressure off 

taking and picking up dogs from groomers. 

The dogs are more relaxed in their own 

environment,” says Jill. “One of the things I 

love the most is getting to know dog owners 

on a more personal level. It’s like turning 

up at your friend’s home to groom their 

dog.” Owners don’t even have to be there. 

You can get home after a long day to find a 

perfectly groomed dog waiting for you. 

Jim’s Dog Wash operator’s core values 

are conducting themselves with integrity, 

providing an exceptional service, empathic 

care and lots of cuddles; leaving your best 

friend looking their gorgeous doggie best.

SELWYN TIMES 

Selwyn’s progress in 

the last three years 

Kia ora, 

I love serving our community and am 

excited to continue to lead as our 

Mayor. 

My wife Liz and I live in Darfield with 

our 2 year old daughter Elliott. 

Selwyn continues to grow and 

develop, as does our community’s 

expectations on council. 

Our growing diversity and 

perspectives can help ensure we 

honour our heritage, remain focused 

on meeting the needs of today and 

plan wisely for our future. 

Council governs $1.6 billion of assets 

and has income of $140 million. This 

requires us to choose a Council with a 

broad range of skills. 

In my first three years, on top of 

council’s usual work, we have made 

major investments in community 

infrastructure, completed earthquake 

works, and overhauled our 

consultation process to focus on 

talking with you on the street, rather 

than talking at you in meetings. 

I appreciate your continued support 

this election. 

Sam 

After years of people 

talking about what Selwyn 

needed, we have spent the 

last three delivering on 

those discussions. 

The Health Hub, Rolleston Town centre 

and Te Ara Atea, the Indoor Courts, Local 

Community Centres new build and repair as 

well as a change in consultation methods has 

meant we are now on track to catch up. 

Partnering with central government 

We have a leadership position in and for 

the South Island into Wellington - if reelected 

I will look to chair the group of local 

councils from the top of the South Island to 

ensure Selwyn’s experience and success are 

well known at a national level. Selwyn is the 

third largest population in the South Island 

after Christchurch and Dunedin, a key fact in 

delivering for current residents and planning 

for our future. 

I will continue to push for more decisionmaking 

powers to be afforded local councils. 

Too often, our central government provides 

irrelevant, Auckland-centric solutions to local 

issues. Local NZTA funding, immigration 

settings, and water infrastructure control will 

be three areas I will continue to advocate for. 

Partnering with Government has seen many 

new schools and classrooms in Selwyn, thanks 

to the Ministry of Education. 

DOC have upgraded many tracks and we are 

working closely around responsible camping. 

Our work together in conjunction with Ecan, 

Ngāi Tahu and many community groups to 

improve water quality and biodiversity at Te 

Waihora Lake Ellesmere has attracted millions 

of central government dollars to our district. 

NZTA is another key government department 

partner. We continue to work together on many 

projects from State Highway and motorway 

completion through to local road safety 

improvements and cycleways. 

Growth and employment in Selwyn 

We are the fastest growing district in New 

Zealand and our new diversity provides 

numerous firsts for the area. Growth means 

we have or are building facilities in our district 

that we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to 

enjoy, had we remained small. 

This growth also means new career 

opportunities. Success for young people 

growing up in Selwyn used to often mean 

leaving the district, but our young people are 

now able to stay or return and find employment 

in industries for which they have trained. 

Selwyn is a destination of choice for young 

families. Our 2% unemployment - half the 

national average - means plenty of work 

opportunities, although finding the right staff 

can be difficult for expanding businesses. 

Ensuring a range of housing options is 

important for our future. One area of need is the 

provision of appropriate housing for our elderly, 

for whom a 4 bedroom home is not the right fit. 

Relationships with Tangata Whenua 

I’m proud of the continually developing 

relationship with Te Taumutu runanga over 

the past three years. We held our citizenship 

ceremony on Waitangi Day there, our executive 

teams meet together regularly, we have a 

council waiata, and Te Reo lessons have been 

offered to staff. Having Te Taumutu and Ngai 

Tūāhuriri on our District Plan review Committee 

has meant we now have a more robust draft 

document ready for notification next year. 

Water management 

The work of our Water Zone committee 

continues to lead the way for Canterbury.

in the 

South Island 

The Near River Recharge project to bring Central 

Plains water into the Selwyn riverbed during dry 

winters is now under construction and will help 

support summer flows of lowland streams. 

Tourism 

I’m looking for us to capatilise on our 

natural beauty with tourism from which the 

whole community can benefit - from more 

job opportunities and great restaurants to 

a vibrant, festive atmosphere. We need to 

ensure this is done in a Selwyn way to avoid 

the pitfalls of large tourist destinations 

where visitors become a drain rather than 

asset to those living there. We don’t need 

more Freedom Camping, but instead focus on 

higher-value visitors. 

I am leading work on behalf of South Island 

Mayors to create a South Island Destination 

Management Strategy. Too often New Zealand 

focuses solely on attracting more visitors. We 

need to be smarter as an island and target 

value rather than volume. Visitors to the South 

Island don’t recognise boundaries between 

districts so a more collaborative approach to 

visitor management makes sense. This will 

ensure we don’t overuse particular spots and 

can share the benefits of visitors around more 

of the island. 

Infrastructure 

We are making progress, but more work is 

needed on our base infrastructure. Our roading 

network needs attention. The inland ports 

at Rolleston help remove trucks to Lyttelton 

by putting freight on trains, but a growing 

number of heavy vehicles on our local roads 

are moving our premium produce to markets. 

As few were built for such heavy loads, 

these roads require additional funding for 

maintenance and improvements. 

Frequent, heavy rainfall events are resulting 

in surface flooding in a number of low-lying 

townships. The new stormwater bypass in 

Leeston has helped the flooding situation there 

and we need to ensure other towns now get the 

same level of attention. Some minor works in 

Hororata have been completed but a wider scope 

and approach is required to solve things there. 

We are currently working with Ecan on a 

cohesive strategic approach to flooding in the 

upper reaches of our rivers and tributaries - 

currently the responsibility of individual land 

owners, but with potentially better outcomes if 

we were to work together. 

Our council is open and serviced minded. To 

reflect this I have focused on greatly improving 

our communication and social media, including 

our new Selwyn Response Team being trained and 

ready to deploy in case of natural disaster or 

civil defence emergencies and Selwyn Gets Ready 

(have you signed up?). 

We’ve managed to achieve a lot, but there 

is still more to be done. I’m excited about 

the coming three years, and look forward to 

achieving more for our outstanding district.

The best kept secrets 

to selling your home 

Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the 

only impression 

No matter how good the interior of your home looks, 

buyers have already judged your home before they walk 

through the door. You never have a second chance to 

make a first impression. It’s important to make people 

feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the 

house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive 

shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also 

important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and 

keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by 

putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers. 

Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show 

Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you 

never know when your buyer is going to walk through 

the door. You have to be available whenever they want to 

come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape. Don’t 

leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out, 

the bathrooms sparkling and make sure there are no dust 

bunnies in the corners. It’s a little inconvenient, but it will 

get your house sold. 

Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first 

You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling 

your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits 

of remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best 

part of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money 

back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace 

countertops where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the 

asking price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most 

inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new 

cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can 

present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start 

envisioning their own style. If you have a little money to 

spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why one? 

Because when people see one high-end appliance they 

think all the rest are expensive too and it updates the 

kitchen. 

Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your 

house 

One of the most important things to do when selling 

your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal 

stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine 

themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your 

stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos, 

memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes. Staging 

simply means arranging your furniture to best showcase 

the floor plan and maximize the use of space. 

Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade 

Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth 

makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your 

money back if you do a huge improvement project before 

you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates 

that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh 

coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy 

some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles, 

cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track, fix 

leaky faucets and clean the grout. 

Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters 

You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts 

of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody 

is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your 

home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty litter 

box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes. It will 

give buyers the impression that your house is not clean. 

If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your pets 

around. 

Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field 

A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent. 

Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed. 

They must constantly monitor the multiple listing service 

(MLS), know what properties are going on the market 

and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find an 

agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one has 

many tools to get your house sold. 

Selling Secret #8: Light it up 

Maximize the light in your home. After location, good 

light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they want 

in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, 

change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light 

bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do 

what you have to do make your house bright and cheery 

– it will make it more sellable. 

Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets 

Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can 

never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of your 

closets then neatly organize what’s left in there. Buyers 

will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets 

clean and tidy.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Why get a property valuation? 

Ascertaining the true value of a property 

is never easy. Real estate agents may be 

able to give buyers and sellers a guide, 

based on the sales of similar properties 

in an area. However, each individual 

property is unique with some more so, 

than others. 

When applying for finance, a bank will 

require more than a real estate agent’s 

figure of what a property might be worth. 

Instead, a written valuation compiled 

by an independent Registered Property 

Valuer will be requested. 

Property valuations are more than 

just a tool for acquiring a loan from a 

bank. The process examines the features 

of a particular property with a view to 

identifying its true worth. 

“Rather than a quick walk-through, a 

Registered Property Valuer will conduct a 

detailed inspection, taking measurements 

and photos, and making field notes,” 

explains Haki Anderson, Director 

and Principal Valuer at Anderson and 

Associates. 

Haki emphasises the importance of 

a physical examination. For example, a 

property may be next to a railway line 

or power lines so be worth less than one 

with a stunning sea view however, people 

can also help protect the value of their 

asset simply by keeping up the regular 

maintenance on their home. 

“It’s important for owners and potential 

buyers to have accurate information, 

especially for insurance purposes. When 

we value a property we take measurements 

of the floor area and check their accuracy 

against the property’s statistics,” advises 

Haki who has been a Registered Property 

Valuer since 1990. 

The property’s specifications and 

features are also assessed, including: the 

construction and condition of the home; 

landscaping; size and contour of the land; 

and whether there is an outlook. 

“They’ll analyse other properties in 

the area that have been sold. This may 

sometimes involve knocking on the front 

door so a more accurate impression can be 

gained of such a property,” says Haki. 

Once collected, the data will be analysed 

and comparisons made between the 

property in question and property sales in 

the immediate locality. 

“The better the research, the more 

accurate the valuation,” reminds Haki. 

Registered Property Valuers are totally 

independent. To become a Registered 

Property Valuers, a person must first 

complete a four year university degree 

in property valuation and management. 

After graduating, three years’ work 

experience in the field is required, before 

the Valuer can apply for Registration as a 

Valuer. 

“The client is paying for more 

knowledge. Knowledge is power so the 

more informed clients are, the better 

decisions they can make about the biggest 

asset they are likely to own and are about 

to purchase.”
