Selling your car? Don’t park it on the street
MARKETING: Parking a vehicle on the road with a ‘for sale’ sign like this one in Lincoln will be banned completely under a new
traffic and parking bylaw.
• By Devon Bolger
ROADSIDE advertising of
vehicles for sale could become
illegal under a new traffic and
parking bylaw.
The district council
undertook a review of the
current bylaw and it has led
to a number of proposed
changes.
One of the amendments
would see people no longer able
to park their vehicle on the side
of the road if it is displaying a
‘for sale’ sign,
In the current traffic and
parking bylaw from 2009 you
can do so with the consent of
the district council.
A district council spokesman
said it will enforce it by
contacting people directly
when it becomes aware of cases
and inform them of the law.

Residents
evenly
divided
over paying
for stadium
• By Devon Bolger
RESIDENTS APPEAR split
over whether ratepayers in
Selwyn should help to fund
Christchurch’s new stadium.
Selwyn Times conducted a poll
of residents across the district to
get their views on the idea.
The views were split with 48 per
cent saying they’d be happy to
help pay for the stadium and 52
per cent saying they are against
the idea.
Mayor Sam Broughton and his
only challenger for the mayoralty
Bill Woods were also asked for
their views.
Mr Broughton said he did not
have enough information to make
a decision as he had not been
given information over what it
might cost Selwyn ratepayers.
Last year, Mr Broughton said
Selwyn should help to fund the
stadium. But in May this year he
changed his mind and told Selwyn
Times that ratepayers in the district
should not contribute.
Mr Woods said he would find
it very hard to present a rational
case to ratepayers on the benefits
of contributing to the stadium
because of its location.

from the editor’s desk
REPORTER DEVON Bolger did a tour
of the district to get a feeling for whether
people want to contribute to paying for the
new stadium in Christchurch.
The result was interesting: People are
fairly evenly split over whether ratepayers
from Selwyn and other districts should help Christchurch city
out.
Those who wouldn’t use the stadium were fairly much in the
‘no’ camp; rugby fans and concert-goers said ‘yes’.
But an interesting viewpoint did come out. Some said
travelling into Christchurch was a hassle for anything, and
going to a sports match or concert was no longer that attractive.
That mentality augurs well for the district: If people stay close
to home it can only be good for the Selwyn economy.

No new quarry consent
for Fulton Hogan after plan changes
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FULTON HOGAN will not
have to apply for a new resource
consent to quarry near Weedons
– in spite of the raft of changes
made to its application.
The three-person hearings
panel, chaired by Rob van
Voorhuysen, has decided the
changes made to the company’s
original application do not
require a
new resource
consent.
Environment
Canterbury
and the district
council called
for public
Simon Moore
submissions
on whether
the application
should be a new process due
to the changes, but these were
required to be authored by legal
counsel.
The councils called for them
after Fulton Hogan made
changes to its application, which
included:
•Decreasing the total active
open area of the quarry from
40ha to a maximum of 26ha.
•Originally the application

heavy vehicle movements per
day with an average of 1050
movements per day. But Fulton
Hogan now wishes to amend the
proposal to a daily limit of 800
heavy vehicles.
•Fulton Hogan initially
intended to develop a new
dedicated heavy vehicle access
from Jones Rd and use the
existing access off the road as
a dedicated light vehicle access
to the site. Instead it wants
to provide a “shared” heavy
and light vehicle access point,

submissions which we may not
get if they redo it,” he said.
His biggest concern is
not giving submitters the
opportunity to amend their
written submissions to reflect
the changes Fulton Hogan has
made.
On behalf of Fulton Hogan,
a lawyer has since said the
company would not be opposed
to submitters who did not
want to initially be heard at the
hearing to now be heard.
The hearing on the company’s
proposal to open a 170ha quarry
between Dawsons, Curraghs,
Jones and Maddisons Rd will be
held in November.
The only submission made on
treating the resource consent
as a new process was from legal
counsel on behalf of Fulton
Hogan.
It said: “The proposed change
in sequencing and staging of
the application does not change
the scale or intensity of the
proposed activity.”
ECan and the district council’s
legal counsel had a similar view,
saying the changes will “actually
reduce the intensity or impact of
the anticipated effects.”

Residents upset with
lack of action over sealing Wards Rd
• By Devon Bolger
A 17-YEAR battle between
rural Darfield residents and the
district council over sealing a
shingle road will continue.
Since 2002 Grant Prescott and
fellow Wards Rd residents have
been pushing to have the road
sealed between Charing Cross
and Greendale Rd.
He says they have had enough
of potholes and feeble repairs.
Mr Prescott made a submission
to the district council at
a recent meeting and said he
has been left feeling extremely
disappointed by the response he
received.
“There wasn’t much of a
resolution except the mayor
suggested that maybe the work
could be put in the Long Term
Plan.
“It just felt like a pat on the
back to say go away and we’ll
think about it in a few years.”
District council Infrastructure
group manager Murray
Washington said they have
requested a report on the
maintenance of Wards Rd to
be presented at the next district
council meeting in October and
any future decisions on the road
will be taken on the basis of that
report.
In his submission, Mr Prescott
told councillors that he is
concerned about the district
council’s lack of action.
“Instead of wasting hundreds
of thousands of dollars
constantly patching up a road
used by heavy vehicles, farm
vehicles and commuters it is
time you took responsibility for
the safety of all road users and
upgraded this section as soon as
possible.
“It is only a matter of time
before a road user loses their life
and this council will be held to
account,” he said.
Mr Prescott said the residents

HUNTER
won’t give up on getting the road
sealed.
“There are 14 residents living
there and we are all committed
that it’s something that needs to
be done.
“All of us feel that the council
is doing what is easiest for them
and not what is best for the
community.”
Recycling station
in the works
for Castle Hill
• By Devon Bolger
CASTLE HILL is set to get a
permanent recycling station.
The station is due to be
completed in April or May next
year.
District council solid waste
manager Andrew Boyd said
the permanent refuse and
recycling drop-off point will take
over from the current temporary
one.
He said a budget is still to be
allocated for the project.
“We are in negotiations over
the cost of the land with the
landowner and the development
of the site so are unable to
confirm this at this stage.”
Last month Selwyn
Times reported the amount of
rubbish going to landfill in the
district has jumped by almost 50
per cent in seven years.
The increase prompted the
district council to adopt a new
plan to deal with the waste being
produced.
The total amount of rubbish
going to landfill jumped from
12,506 tonnes in 2012 to 18,646
tonnes in 2018.

Feedback on
bylaw sought
•From page 1
He said people are generally
compliant but if not there are
provisions in the bylaw to address
this and the council would
consider its options.
Other changes include the
provision of residents only
parking areas in cases of need
and the ban of parking on grass
berms beyond a kerb or footpath
in living zones.
Electric scooters have also
been included in the amended
bylaw.
The bylaw was adopted for
public consultation at a district
council meeting last week and
residents can have their say on
the amendments.
In a report presented to district
councillors, transportation
team leader Mark Chamberlain
said there have been some issues
arise during the time of the
current bylaw and it is due to be
reviewed.
Public consultation on the
amended traffic and parking
bylaw is open now and will close
on October 18.

Some residents say
stadium would
benefit whole region
•From page 1
Many residents who were
against the idea said
the cost of rates was
the main reason for not
wanting to help.
The latest
annual Taxpayers
Organisation’s
ratepayers report, based
on 2017/18 figures,
shows the district’s
average residential
rates of $2508 were
the second-highest in
Canterbury and in the
top 20 in New Zealand.
Many of the residents
who were happy to help
fund the stadium said it
was because it would be
an asset for the whole
region.
The People’s Choice,
a Labour-aligned
group, which is seeking
a majority on the
Christchurch City Council at
October’s local body elections
wants ratepayers across all of
Canterbury to contribute to the
stadium’s cost.
This would save Christchurch
Sam Broughton
Bill Woods
ratepayers up to $200 million, it
says.
The Christchurch
City Council has
allocated $253 million
for a stadium. The
Government will
contribute another
$220 million.
Construction is set
to begin in 2021 and is
due to be completed by
early 2024.
Mr Woods said
the main issue is the
accessibility to people
in the district.
“The Lancaster
Park site was difficult
enough but the new
site will be even
worse,” he said.
The Multi-Use
Arena is proposed to
be located in the East
Frame.
Mr Broughton said
he understands the Government
and Christchurch city budgets
cover the costs of the stadium.
“So that being the case, great,
they should go on and build it,”
he said.
The Selwyn Times asked ratepayers what they
thought of possibly having to help fund a new
stadium in Christchurch
Denise Langford, nurse,
Darfield: People here just want
to see their quite large
rates going to things
that benefit them
directly. There are already

paying too much so I
think funding the stadium
would just make
that worse. I don’t go
into town that much
but maybe I would go
for a special event.
SELWYN TIMES
Martin Perryman, teacher
aide, Lincoln: I don’t support our
rates going towards the stadium
in Christchurch. We will still
have to pay full price for tickets
and pay for travel too. If it was
going to be built in Selwyn then
absolutely, but it’s not. It’s hard
enough to pay for things already
without rates getting even higher.
I would use the stadium sometimes
for the odd rugby game.
Denis Warren (left),
retired, Rolleston: I
think we should be
sharing the cost because
we will also be using it.
Everyone should help
because everyone will
benefit from it, even us
out here. It wouldn’t be
right to say no we won’t
help but we still want
the benefits.
Cath Harding, retired,
Lincoln: I completely agree the
stadium should be funded by
everyone. I know our family
would use it a lot and our
grandchildren. It just makes
sense and I hope people don’t just
think about themselves here. I
wouldn’t use it myself so much
but I absolutely know people who
would, especially young people.

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think Selwyn ratepayers should help pay for
Christchurch’s new stadium. Email your views to devon.bolger@starmedia.kiwi
Tony Watts, builder, Lincoln:
I don’t want to fund the stadium.
Our rates are too high already
as it is. Christchurch residents
aren’t interested in what we’re
doing here, they don’t help fund
anything for us so I don’t think
we should get involved. I wouldn’t
use it because I’m not a rugby fan.
I’m much more into cricket.
Graham Harding: retired,
Lincoln: I do think our rates
here should go towards it
too because it’s a stadium for
all of Canterbury, not just
Christchurch. We’re a rugby-mad
town out here in Lincoln so to
deny to help this is just putting
your head in the sand. I’d use
the stadium for rugby games and
things like that.
Frank Ah Kuoi: personal
trainer, Rolleston: We should
put some money towards it
because we would use it. Not
me personally but young people
especially. It’s a great opportunity
for the next generation coming
through. We always try to do
better for the next generation so
this stadium is really for them.
Stephen Hampton, concrete
kerber, Lincoln: We should help
to fund the stadium. Plenty of
other things are built using public
funds and the people contributing
don’t benefit, so that’s not really
an argument. In this case though
I can imagine it being an asset
for the whole of Canterbury and
I personally would get a lot of use
out of it. If there’s a test match on
then I will definitely go.
Lena Atger, shipping
administration, Rolleston: I
don’t think we should help pay
for the stadium. We pay rates for
things in our own district. Is the
Christchurch City Council going
to help us fund the aquatic centre
extension? No, so why should we
help them with this?
Daphne Warner, retired,
Springston: I would really rather
they put more money into the
district itself. We need a 50m
swimming pool here so we don’t
have to keep travelling to Dunedin
and that’s just one of the things
desperately needed here. I don’t
quite know about me but my
grandchildren would definitely use
the stadium.
Hong Zhang, scientist, West
Melton: I don’t support residents
here funding the stadium. Rates
in Selwyn should stay in Selwyn.
I wouldn’t use the stadium I don’t
think, no.
Katrina Berry, health and
safety manager, Rolleston: I
would support my rates going
towards the stadium because I
think it will benefit the entire
Canterbury region. I think it
should be levied in terms of
distance so those closest to it fund
it the most. I’d be happy if they
implemented something like this.
At the end of the day, we need this
stadium so let’s just get on with
it. I’d definitely use it, I’m always
having to go down to Dunedin for
concerts and things.
Lin Zhang, unemployed, West
Melton: I agree that there are
things money should go to in this
district first. Then maybe I would
be happy to help fund a stadium,
but not at the moment.
Ashley Pecker, admin
assistant, Lincoln: Rates are
already quite high out here and
there is still a lot of work that
needs to be done so I don’t think
our money should be put towards
the stadium. Rates are supposed
to go towards projects and
services within the area a council
serves, not other areas.

Bob Shand, project
manager, Rolleston: I
don’t really have a problem
with funding the stadium.
It would not only be good
for Christchurch but the
whole region and I would
definitely still make the
trip for a game of rugby.
John Doyle: farmer,
Greendale: Selwyn
residents should not fund
the stadium. It’s more of
a project for Christchurch
and we have plenty of
things going on here that
need money. We should
focus on our own projects.
Bernie Morrison,
business owner,
Rolleston: It does depend
on the percentage that we
would pay but if it’s not
ridiculously high then I
am happy to fund it. It
can’t just be paid for by
Christchurch residents
because that’s not really
fair to them.
Laurie Manuel, retired,
Prebbleton: I would prefer
my rates went to facilities
in Selwyn. The swimming
pool expansion and projects
like that are important
for our community and
I would like to see them
finished first. I wouldn’t
use it personally, no. I
can’t stand going into
Christchurch.
Alistair Macmillan,
electrician, Lincoln: I’m
probably a bad person
to ask because I’m really
excited about the stadium
in general so if we have to
help pay for it then so be it.
I’d use it and I know plenty
of people who would, so I
wouldn’t be angry.
Upasana Singh,
unemployed, Rolleston:
We pay more than enough
rates already I really don’t
think they should be any
higher. I don’t know how
much I would actually use
the stadium either. I would
potentially go to a concert
or two but I’m not into
sports.
Sophia Tankard,
receptionist, Burnham:
I just don’t want my rates
to go up so if they find out
a way for us to help fund
it without that happening
then I am on board.
Ken Richards: soldier,
Rolleston: I’m not happy
about this idea. I pay a lot
for my rates as it is and
I would still have to buy
tickets and pay for petrol
to drive in. If they had free
buses for it then that would
be different but they won’t.
I would be happy to fund it
if they offered local tickets
at discounted prices for us.
Alisa Dunn,
administration worker,
Lincoln: I have no problem
at all with helping to fund
the stadium. It’s not just
for Christchurch it’s for
everyone so I don’t really
mind. I will definitely use
it. It’ll be great having
something like it so close.
Sean Bell, builder,
Lincoln: I’m a pretty huge
rugby fan so if us funding
it is what it takes to get the
stadium complete then I
am okay with that. I will
definitely use it whenever
there’s a test on.

Wearable arts success for Lincoln High
LINCOLN HIGH School
students have proven their
skills at the North Canterbury
Wearable Arts show.
Nine students took part in the
competition in Rangiora and
they received four awards.
In the environment section,
Alexandra Causer came second
in the year 9-10 division with
her 60s-inspired garment
made from old computer punch
cards.
Sarah McDougall, Aria Lyver
and Caitlin Watson came third
in the same division with their
LGBTQ+ inspired rainbow coloured
dress made from Resene
paint pallets.
In the open section, Sarah
Giles came second with her
playing cards dress and Cassandra
Ngo came third with her
Vietnamese-inspired dress made
from toi toi and plants
Textile teacher Emma Paterson
said other great garments
were also on show, Rosa Dunbar
had a cloud-inspired garment
made from stuffing and Ardra
Heffer made a dress from chip
packets.
“The girls looked amazing
and even though they were a
bit nervous they didn’t show it
once they were on stage. The
parents were all there to support
the girls, which was a proud
moment for all the families
involved,” she said.
“I want to congratulate the
girls for their hard work over
the past three terms getting
their garments finished, they all
looked fabulous and the hard
work paid off.”
Ms Paterson said she looks
forward to seeing the garments
entered in the Art Couture Show
at the Lincoln Event Centre in
the school holidays next month.
Work on uni rec centre
to start next month
THE LINCOLN University
Recreation Centre is set to
undergo a transformation.
Next month a major $10 million
upgrade on the building will begin
and will add around 1800m²
floor space as well as new exercise,
teaching and research space.
The main gym will more than
double in size and there will be
a separate RPM room, external
exercise space, multiuse studio
and revamped changing facilities.
The upgrade begins next
month with the refurbishment of
the external changing rooms and
then the main work will begin in
early 2020, with a scheduled finish
in February 2021.
Lincoln University executive
director campus life Stuart Reilly
said the facility was last upgraded
in 1995 and the improved facilities
and new equipment would
give students and community
members more options.
“The focus for the refurbishment
is on student sport and
fitness needs and would include
a new sport and exercise lab for
research, contributing to the
expertise the centre could offer to
the public through being part of
a university,” Mr Reilly said.
He said the work would be
staged to ensure as little disruption
as possible to the centre
users and there will be regular
updates on progress.
“The upgrade is part of a wider
campus development plan which
aims to develop a more modern,
vibrant and safe campus, providing
a positive campus experience
for students and staff, and growing
Lincoln University’s future as
a world-class research and teaching
precinct.”
Environmental sustainability
is at the core of the campus
improvements, which includes
energy diversification measures
such as the use of renewable
energy sources like solar energy.

The
Lincoln
Bowling
Club is
looking
to attract
new
members
for the
upcoming
season.
Have a bowl in Lincoln
• By Jacob Page
THE LINCOLN Bowling Club want more
people to roll-up onto the greens this
summer.
Member Denis Smith said the
club will host a ‘give it a go day’
from 10am to 2pm on Sunday in a
bid to introduce the sport to more
people – and it has some novel
ideas to bring in the punters.
“We’re a progressive club, and
while a number of our members
are starting to look a bit grey
on top, we know that bowls is a
young person’s game and we’d like
to welcome some new faces.”
People will get the opportunity
on Sunday to have a bowl, with coaching
and a sausage sizzle provided.
All first year members will also be in
with a chance of getting their season
membership reimbursed.
“We have everything here for people to
Denis Smith
give the game a go,” Mr Smith said.
The club will continue its popular
Twilight Bowls initiative on Mondays
from October 7 until Christmas.
Social games are played from 5-8pm
and cost $5 per person or $20 for
a team of six.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t
know anyone, we’ll soon find you
a team and teach you the basics.
It’s a relaxed way to meet people
and be introduced to the game,”
” Mr Smith said.
After Christmas the club will
hold its six-week community
bowls competition, which will
see 150 people on the greens each
week. “The community bowls
nights are absolutely massive,” Mr Smith
said.
“It’s become a highlight of the Selwyn
calendar for many and it’s been going for
longer than I know and I’m sure it will be
great again.”

Look out pests – the trap
library is about to launch
• By Devon Bolger
RESIDENTS WILL be able to borrow
pest traps and take them home thanks to
a new Lincoln Envirotown Trust project
next month.
Envirotown trustee and project
manager Sam Rowland said it is very
excited to get the
initiative off the
ground.
“We are set to launch
the trap library at the
Lincoln Farmers and
Craft Market. We were
recently able to secure
some funding from the
Lincoln community
Sam Rowland
committee to make
the traps, so we’re just
busy trying to get all
the information ready and preparing for
the launch,” she said.
The project will operate like book
library, Ms Rowland said.
“There will be people stationed there
providing backyard trapping advice.
You can borrow a (Department of
Conservation) 200 trap that trap rats,
stoats and hedgehogs, and a month
later bring it back. We’ll ask for some
information of what you’ve caught so we
can keep a record of it.”
Canterbury’s fastest selling
new subdivision
PEST CATCHER: DOC 200 traps will
be available at the Lincoln Envirotown
Trust trap library when it starts
operating next month.
Bait will also be provided, depending
on the pests you want to catch.
The initiative is the next logical step
in helping to improve biodiversity in the
district, she said.
“Lincoln Envirotown does a lot of
planting around the district and public
education, so for us it’s just the logical
next step to begin a trapping project that
means the general public can do this
themselves with no barriers.”
•The trap library will operate from
10am to 1pm on the last Saturday of
every month from October 26 at the
Lincoln Farmers and Craft Market on
Gerald St.

From cheers to tears
PEOPLE MUST think I’m an
alcoholic or something.
Vittoria loves to make little
toasts, she’ll do it as soon as
she has anything like a cup or
bottle in hand. It’s all perfectly
innocent I swear, but she even
says “cheers”.
However, when I took her
for storytimes at Tūranga on
Tuesday (well, I heard a line
of the story before Vittoria
rushed off to the slide, so I
guess that counts), she started
doing it with little plastic cups
in the Imagination Station.
There were plenty of parents
around, yet not one said
anything like “that’s cute”. A
clear indication that they think
I’m home all day setting a bad
example and slurring my way
through cheers after cheers. At
least in my mind.
It’s been a quiet and
thankfully normal first
week back to post-holiday
normality, and Vittoria’s
antics would have almost
been the highlight if I hadn’t
experienced my first serious
temper tantrum.
Through some miracle it
was at home rather than a
supermarket or sombre family
event, but it was the kind that
would get talked about for
years if it happened in the
aforementioned places.
The wee darling was already
in an out-of-sorts kind of way,
having gotten grumpy at me
after I didn’t let her throw
food on the floor at the library.
But when I served up her
lunch after we got home it just
elevated the slight whinging
to full blown tears and heavy
sobbing.
For an entire hour Vittoria
was completely lost to the
tantrum, wandering the
house utterly distraught.
Occasionally writhing about
on the floor or crying in a
corner.
Nothing I could do would
calm her – singing, cuddles,
talking calmly, changing the
food or bringing out some
normally popular fruit. No joy.
In desperation, I turned to
VITTORIA
& Matt
showing her videos of herself
on my phone.
Which, weirdly, worked
almost straight away. She
stopped crying and screaming,
picked herself up and started
laughing at a video of her
dancing.
Whether any old video
would have worked is still out
for debate, but even if she is
the world’s smallest narcissist,
it’s all good.
It got her eating her
lunch and back on the good
behaviour train. I like the
really good behaviour train.
I just asked her if she wanted
a nap after lunch and she just
waved goodbye to her toys,
jumped into my arms and was
asleep within 15min.
She then slept for an hour
and a half and then was a
total angel all afternoon and
evening.
It’s like she’d got all the day’s
upset out of the way in one hit.
Still, not something I’d
recommend.

Rolleston
students
show off
their talent
• By Jacinda Tucker
ROLLESTON College students
showed off their skills during a
talent show.
About 30 acts entered the
RC’s Got Talent Show, with 12
making it into the finals which
were due to be held yesterday.
There was a large group of
unique performances from
comedy and dancing to singing,
music and bands.
Although some students
had been practicing for a long
time, others took the show as
an opportunity to step out of
their comfort zones and try
something new.
The finals coincided with the
school’s open night to allow
parents and the public a chance
to see the performances.
The heats cost a gold coin
entry fee, with the money going
toward a prize for the winning
student.
However, most students
entered because they have a
passion for performing or to give
something new a go.
Many students in the audience
sung along with the performers,
while some pulled out their
phones lights and waved their
arms.

allen Lim Director/Engineer/Grower - Standing for Environment Canterbury
SELWYN TIMES
We could not be at a more crucial time of
need for a practical approach to issues that
confront us daily – degradation of water,
imbalanced biodiversity, mahinga kai, climate
change, the economy and more.
These issues desperately need our attention,
yet they cannot be solved overnight, or by
simplistically focusing on only one element of
this complex situation. We urgently need an
integrated approach that takes us on a transition
to a new way of living in, and sustaining, our
environment.
For this reason, I am standing as a candidate
for the ECan Mid Canterbury – Ōpākihi
region. I want to play a part of preserving our
environment for future generations, while
ensuring the changes made still support our
communities. I believe I have the experience
and capability to do so.
I am an entrepreneur and a commercial
horticultural farmer. I am a degree qualified
Mechanical Engineer and am a member of
the government advisory Freshwater Leaders
Group, the Selwyn-Waihora Water Zone
Committee where I was Chair for 4 years.
I sit on multiple industry boards including
Vegetables New Zealand Inc, Horticulture
Canterbury Growers Society, and NZGAP.
I know ECAN is not just about water, that’s
where I can bring my range of proven skills to
bear. I am a good listener and have balanced
views. Most importantly, I recognise we are
all in this together and therefore need to work
together.
Vote for tangible and balanced action on
water issues, vote for Allen Lim.
Authorised by Allen Lim 31 Lincoln Rolleston Road, RD 8, Christchurch.
John Sunckell ECan Councillor/Paramedic/Farmer - Standing for Environment Canterbury
It has been a privilege to represent Mid
Canterbury - Ashburton and Selwyn Districts.
I am standing for re election because not only
have I genuinely enjoyed my first term, I feel I
have made a very positive and real contribution.
I understand politics and how to engage in
processes to achieve the best outcomes
possible in what at times are almost no win
situations.
Through the Canterbury Water Management
Strategy portfolio, I’ve led the Selwyn River
recharge programme, advocated for the
review of Ashburton River consents allowing
for adaptation and achieved the statutory
acknowledgement of the Hinds Drains working
group recommendations.
Through the Hazard and Risk portfolio I am
the ECan nominee on the Canterbury Group
Civil Defence committee, and at present I
am the deputy Chair. This has given me the
opportunity to work with both the Minister and
the Civil Defence Ministry in providing input into
what the new Emergency Response Ministry
will look like ,and the processes and systems
that sit under it.
I believe that the combination of my 3
years at Ecan, 32 years on the road as a
volunteer ambulance officer, and life time in
rural communities has given me unique insight
into environmental management issues and
the process and impact of these on both the
community and individuals. A vote for me will
ensure an informed and steady hand remains at
the council table, representing and advocating
for Mid Canterbury.

2019 LocaL ELEctions - meet your candidates
sophie Mcinnes Full-Time Parent (Previously PA) - Standing for Selwyn Central Ward
Kia ora, and thank you for your interest in
local elections!
I’m passionate about representing young
families, youth, immigrants, and the ruralurban
mix that’s developing here. After years of
making submissions and debating needs versus
rates with other residents, I am 100% ready to
give those opinions a louder voice in council.
I have lived in Selwyn Central for 6 years –
first on a lifestyle block in Broadfield, and more
recently in Rolleston. I love big multi-faceted
challenges, and my employment history as a
PA ranges from small business to education
and local government. For the last few years I
have been a full-time mum of three and chronic
volunteer however, which has given me greater
insight into our community as a whole.
I love how Selwyn is becoming somewhere
that we all can truly live, work, play, and learn,
but believe we need to do more to reduce how
much time and money our residents actually
spend in Christchurch.
I want to continue the development of local
facilities, businesses, and infrastructure,
but also ensure that council listens to the
community when debating the new District Plan,
and fully considers the impacts on our people,
land, and water.
The coming years will also be huge in terms
of applying climate change-related legislation
at a local level. We need to work harder to
minimise waste, engage young people in longterm
decisions, and support a strong districtwide
community.
I invite you to visit my website
www.sophieforselwyncentral.co.nz to find out
more about me and my views on the issues
facing Selwyn today and in the future. Ask me
questions, challenge me, and let me know
what’s important to you too.

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 communities 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 3 years, on top of councils usual
work, we have made major investments
in community infrastructure, completed
earthquake works, and overhauled our
consultation process to focus on meeting with
you to talk on the street rather than speaking in
meetings at you.
I appreciate your continued support this
election. Sam

Mark alexander Current Selwyn District Councillor - Standing for Selwyn Central Ward
I’m passionate about the people and
communities of the Selwyn Central Ward and
the Selwyn District. As a current councillor I
am a strong and experienced advocate for our
communities.
My wife and I have lived in the Selwyn for 25
years, bringing up our son (20). In this time, I
have been a member, volunteer, and supporter
of our sports clubs and community groups.
I believe in strong open honest
communication between residents, communities
and council. I’m not afraid to ask and answer
the hard questions – no matter if the question or
answer is unpopular.
I have advocated and worked for improved
public transport, more footpaths, new and
expanded schools, new community facilities,
new sports grounds and reserves, promoted
and supported road safety initiatives and
improvements. There’s more to do.
An accredited Resource Management
Act Commissioner I have to knowledge and
experience to help get our new District Plan
through the public notification stage, hearings
and deliberations to decisions.
Rate rises need to be as little as possible,
but as much as necessary to maintain council’s
assets and provide the services that residents
have asked for.
I will continue to work hard for you and
your community - not another employer, political
party, or lobby group, representing you and your
community’s aspirations.
My work for our community, our district isn’t
finished. I have the knowledge, experience,
energy, passion, enthusiasm and commitment
to deliver for you!
I need your support, your vote, to work for
you and your community.

nicole Reid Current Selwyn District Councillor - Standing for Selwyn Central Ward
Selwyn Central, namely Rolleston, has been
my home for the last nine years. I love living
here so I stood for council in 2016, and was
honoured to be elected. I am passionate about
the Selwyn District. I truly want our district to
the best it can be with healthy, sustainable
communities that all ages and abilities can
enjoy. To achieve this, I believe it is my duty to
listen and advocate for our community.
As a mother of three boys (9, 11, 13 years), I
have been actively involved in the community. I
am a past Chairperson of Rolleston Residents
Association, previous member of Rolleston
School BoT, and was a scout leader.
My background is in environmental
engineering and planning so I am able to
understand and question the technical detail
reported to Council. I have taken a strong
interest in water, waste and wastewater issues,
the Rolleston town centre development, the
indoor courts facility, Te Ara Ātea (library/
community space), and the district plan review
as well. Road safety has also been a key focus
of mine and I am currently the district road
safety committee’s chairperson. I also currently
represent mid-Canterbury councils (Selwyn
and Ashburton) on the Canterbury Water
Management Strategy Regional Committee.
All of this work is still ongoing so I ask for your
continued support by re-electing me. Please

Vote Jeff Bland for Selwyn Central Ward
I am once again standing for councillor for the
Selwyn Central Ward. It has been a privilege to
have represented this ward for these last nine
years.
During this time I have advocated on your
behalf for better facilities, more schools,
improved bus services, new parks and reserves,
better roads and footpaths. I have pushed for
better recognition for the arts, the preservation
of our history and culture. I am driven to achieve
results for the wider community and prepared to
listen and take your views and issues seriously.
Together we can make our district a better place
to live, work, and play.
I am passionate about our district and have
enjoyed living in the Selwyn Central Ward with
my wife Julie and family for the last 22 years. I
am now retired from the New Zealand Police,
with the last four years of my 38-year career
based at Selwyn. I have also served on the
Selwyn Central Community Board and many
local community groups and have an in-depth
understanding of how local governance works.
Once again I ask for your vote so I can
represent you with dignity, honesty and, as
always, with a common sense approach
to resolving the issues and challenges that
confront us. A vote for me will give the Selwyn
Central Ward an opportunity to continue to grow

Voting opens in 2019 local
council elections
Voting is now officially open in the 2019 local council elections.
Most Selwyn electors will have received their voting papers in the mail by the end of this week
– and voters are being encouraged to get their completed voting forms in the post as early as
possible.
Everyone who is enrolled as a parliamentary elector should receive voting papers automatically,
says Deputy Electoral Officer Stephen Hill, but anyone who hasn’t received their papers by the
end of the week should contact the Council on 347 2800.
Local elections are held by postal voting, and voting papers must be received by the Council
before midday on Election Day, Saturday 12 October. “The sooner people can get their papers
into the post, the more certain they can be that their vote will be counted,” Mr Hill says.
“We’re also providing ballot boxes at several Council locations across the district including
Council headquarters in Rolleston, libraries at Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston, and at the
Selwyn Aquatic Centre, Lincoln Event Centre and West Melton Community and Recreation Centre.
“It was great to see the first votes cast last Friday as residents dropped their voting papers in to
the ballot box at Council HQ.”
For details on the elections, including special voting and candidate information, visit
selwyn.govt.nz/elections.
Magical creatures spotted at McHughs Park
A touch of magic has descended on McHughs Forest Park.
Blown in by the nor’west wind, a magical community has moved into the forest near Darfield just in time
for the school holidays.
From Friday 27 September families can find 20 magic doors hidden in the forest. Look out for the signs
and see if you can spot the dragon sleeping.
The magical community will also be visiting Darfield Library to support a magical storytime on 27
September at 3.30pm and a Faerie Party on Friday 4 October, 10.30am–12pm, including dancing, face
painting, and a treasure hunt.
The idea for the doors had been used internationally and in other Canterbury
districts, but with the creative genius of the men at Darfield Menz Shed,
which built and decorated the doors, it has been adapted to something
special for Selwyn, Community Services staff member Kelsey Waghorn says.
“They bring a bit of joy in a different way and give people another reason to
visit one of the many really cool outdoors spots that Selwyn has to offer.”
To help the magical creatures feel welcome it is important visitors respect
their space and take only photographs and leave only footprints.
If you do take photographs Darfield Library will print these for free, to display
in the library and a copy to take home.
Swim School instructor wins
national award
Selwyn Swim School instructor Jenny Heaton’s outstanding
contribution to teaching swimming has been recognised nationally.
Ms Heaton won the Outstanding Contribution to Learn to Swim
award at the New Zealand Swim Coaches and Teachers Association
national awards for her 14 years of teaching, including six at Selwyn
Aquatic Centre, where she is the Preschool Coordinator.
She also set up Splash Time, a free class for parents and children,
trained and mentored six volunteers to become qualified swim
instructors, and championed the introduction of the popular safe
boating programme.
Council Aquatics Facilities manager James Richmond says the
career award was a huge achievement to win against people who
had been working in the industry all their lives.
It is well deserved for a teacher who is loved by children and
parents, he says. “Jenny is attentive to all 570 children enrolled in
the preschool programme. She engages with and tracks them all.”
Originally a preschool teacher, Ms Heaton first got into teaching
when she was taking her children to swimming classes and doing
some lifeguarding.
She says she loves seeing children grow and learn about being safe
around water. “It’s my happy place in the pool.”
She did not know the team had nominated her for the award until a
few weeks before the awards ceremony.
“It was a bit of a shock to hear my name called out. It’s a pretty
cool award to get, but it’s not something you do on your own, it’s
a team effort.”
Selwyn Swim School based at Selwyn Aquatic Centre was also a
finalist in the Outstanding Swim School category.
Faces of Selwyn celebrated
At 8.30 on a Sunday morning, Gabi Michael is tucked away in her
home brewery trying to brew the perfect beer.
Gabi moved to New Zealand in 2003 from Campo Grande, Brazil,
and is the co-founder, sales and marketing manager at Gladfield
Malt. Her story is part of a new project by the Selwyn District
Council celebrating the diversity of the district and the things we
have in common as the many Faces of Selwyn.
The Faces of Selwyn project will begin with an exhibition at Lincoln
Event Centre from 2–9 October showcasing 10 stories of recent
arrivals to the district and those who have been here much longer.
In the past 10 years the population of Selwyn has nearly doubled.
“Each person brings different stories that enrich us, but they also
have many shared links. These things weave together to give us
such a vibrant culture and we want to celebrate that,” Council
Community Services Group manager Denise Kidd says.
Following the exhibition the 10 stories will be used in displays at
Selwyn Libraries. Along with further stories to come they will also
feature on the Council website and in other Council publications.
Work begins on Aquatic Centre extension
Work is beginning this week on the extension to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre.
The Council has appointed Armitage Williams Construction Limited to carry out the extension and
refurbishment of the existing pool.
The new 10-lane, 25-metre pool will more than double the lane capacity at the aquatic centre and
accommodate increasing demand from aquafitness, casual swimming, deep water and other activities.
There will also be additional changing rooms, foyer and administration space and the option for a
possible café in the future.
The extension is expected to be open to the public in late 2020. The total cost of the project will be
$13.8 million.
The work will be completed in stages to minimise disruption to pool users. From Monday, traffic management
will be in place along Broadlands Drive when required to allow truck access in and out of the site.
Aquatic Facilities manager James Richmond says the centre is one of the most popular destinations in
the district with more than 380,000 visits per year. “We know people wanted more lane space and learn to
swim capacity and we’re looking forward to a fantastic pool at the end that will serve everyone in district.”
ON THE
ROADS
On the roads this week
The intersection at Larcombs Road and Main South
Road will be restricted to left turning traffic only for two
weeks before being closed permanently as part of the
Christchurch Southern Motorway extension.
Zig Zag Road will be closed for maintenance from 6.30am–6pm until
Friday 27 September. A detour will be in place. Footpath construction
is taking place in Darfield on Kimberley Road and Snowdon Place.
These footpaths will be closed during the construction.

PROPOSAL TO REVOKE RESERVATIONS
ON RESERVES WITHIN
SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL
Pursuant to Section 24(2)(b) of the Reserves Act
1977, the Selwyn District Council gives notice
that it proposes to have reservations revoked
on the reserves identified as being surplus to its
requirements as listed in the schedule below.
A comprehensive audit of these reserves has been
carried out to identify those that are surplus to
requirements because they are either no longer
required for that purpose or have no future use or
benefit to the Council. Once revocation has been
approved, it is intended that these reserves will be
handed back to the Department of Conservation
for revocation and disposal procedures.
Submissions to this proposal are open until Friday
25 October 2019.
To make a submission or an objection, or to find
out more about this proposal, please contact the

Manage fleas all year round
Our pets are with us, our families, and in
our homes all year round. In the past, flea
treatment has been viewed as a seasonal
need over the warmer months in spring
and summer. Now with our homes warm
all year round and our pets inside, flea
treatment needs to be managed all year
round.
While no one likes to have to think
about fleas, preventative management of
fleas is recommended for your pet’s and
family’s health. Once fleas have established
themselves in your home, they are difficult
to get rid of. Not treating for fleas during
winter can allow flea eggs to build up in
your home, resulting in an ‘outbreak’ when
temperatures increase and the eggs hatch.
There are four stages in the life cycle
of a flea: egg, larva, pupa (cocoon), and
adult. Depending on the environmental
temperature and humidity levels, the
total life cycle will take anywhere from

a few weeks to many months. Optimal
conditions for fleas are between 21 and
30°C, and 70% humidity. This is why fleas
exist in our warm home environment all
year round.
During autumn and winter, when the
temperature is well below 21°C, many
immature fleas will remain dormant,
particularly as pupae (in cocoons that
are very hardy), waiting in the carpet,
furniture and bedding of the pet’s
environment. Once it becomes warm

again, adult fleas will hatch from pupae
and infest pets. Pets will also pick up
fleas when out in the garden or on a walk,
so it is important to give them the best
protection.
There are now many effective new
products to control fleas with active
ingredients which work by killing fleas and
breaking the flea cycle. There are topical
treatments where you apply on skin on
the back of your pet’s neck. Oral tablets
and chews for dogs and cats are also
available for flea and tick protection. These
products vary in duration of action from
four weeks to six months, best to speak
to your vet about what option would suit
you and your lifestyle best. There is also an
effective and safe flea collar on the market
providing flea protection for up to eight
months.

Helping animals
to live their best
lives
Newly appointed SPCA general manager
for the southern region, Sam Powell,
believes the role of the SPCA is about
education and advocacy and is looking
forward to working with communities and
SPCAs throughout the South Island.
Based in Christchurch, Ms Powell is
accountable for leading all aspects of the
southern region, with specific emphasis on
leading and embedding transformational
change.
Ms Powell leads 14 SPCA centres,
13 SPCA Op Shops, 150 staff, and 600
volunteers. SPCA is the only charity in
New Zealand with the power to protect
all animals, including prosecuting people
under the Animal Welfare Act. SPCA runs
39 centres nationwide which help around
41,000 animals each year.
With an extensive nursing background,
Ms Powell has held a variety of nursing
leadership roles at the Canterbury
District Health Board, South Canterbury
DHB, Monash Health in Melbourne
and most recently as general manager
of Community Services at Nurse Maude
Association based in Christchurch. Ms
Powell has a proven track record of
working in environments with increasing
demand and constrained resources, and
she draws parallels between nursing and
animal welfare.
“The principles of people and animal
welfare are very similar, it is about
enabling people and animals to live their
best lives in a safe, warm, and healthy
environment,” says Ms Powell.
Ms Powell says that animal welfare is
a topic that is close to her heart. She is
excited by the challenge of enabling staff
and volunteers to do their jobs to the best
of their ability while advancing animal
welfare and preventing animal cruelty
across the South Island. She says she
looks forward to managing community
expectations and providing equitable
service across the region.
A passionate animal lover,
Sam Powell has had pets all
her life and is pictured with
her boxer, Bruce.

SPEED: Hamish Macdonald in action trying to win a world title.
Macdonald on cusp
of world enduro title
• By Jacob Page
WEST Melton endurance
motor-cycle racer Hamish
Macdonald is on the
cusp of a world title
this weekend in the 125
Youth Cup class of the
FIM Enduro GP World
Championships in Europe.
The 20-year-old leads the
series after two wins in the
Czech Republic a fortnight
ago and a strong finish in
France this weekend could
see him secure the title in
only his second year in the
class.
It also may leave
Macdonald with the
distinction of winning
a world title before a
New Zealand one having
SPORT
finished third at the
national championships in
2017.
“Happy to get two more
wins in the bag and taking
the championship points
lead into the final round in
France,” Macdonald said.
Macdonald dominated
the first two rounds of the
series in Germany and
Portugal in March and
May respectively, a crash
during the third round in
Spain resulted in a broken
scapula bone in the shoulder
and broken clavicle put
his title chances at risk.
Macdonald bounced
back to finished second
in a race in Italy during
round five in June and now
two race wins in the Czech
Republic have him on the
verge of a world title.
“The Czech Republic always
looked like it was going
to be a great event and
after three days of walking
tests it certainly was going
to push us.
“The enduro test – 10
minutes of roots and rocks.”
Macdonald said he felt
the penultimate round
would be crucial in deciding
who wins the overall
title.
“This would be where
the event would be won or
lost.”

Broadfield A end seven-year title drought
• By Jacob Page
WINNING THE Selwyn
premier netball title was enough
to make Broadfield A coach
Yvonne Crichton-Hill “a little
teary” on Saturday.
Broadfield A beat Greenpark A
63-50 in the final at the Lincoln
Event Centre.
The result
also provided

goal in the

“It was
amazing – so good,” Crichton-
Hill said after the team won their
first title since 2012.
“I felt a bit teary because I was
so proud of them. The whole
team was amazing.
“I think last year really hurt
us and we didn’t want to go back
there again.
“When you have close losses
like (last year’s final) it’s always
in the back of your mind, and
I thought we turned it into a
motivator and not a barrier.
“It’s pleasing to win when you
know the competition is tough.”
Broadfield A led all the way
and a strong third quarter
turned their two-goal half-time
advantage into a 10-goal lead
heading into the final quarter.
Goal shoot Maia Hill was
dominant, hitting 52 of her
53 attempts, while Shannon
Bridge’s move from the defensive
circle to goal attack also paid
dividends.
“I thought everyone was calm
and played with precision,”
Crichton-Hill said.
“Greenpark A are a strong
team and they are big. We
don’t have height but we do
have speed, but sometimes we
get carried away with it. But
I thought we were very good
through court for the whole
game.
“We know from experience
that Greenpark A are tough. We

we did that.”

Tough choices for
Mazda3 buyers
Gardening
Rocket likes the sun
WHEN I recently
evaluated the entry-level
Mazda3 with its 2-litre
engine, I wrote that it was
the car for me.
For one, I particularly
like the hatchback/sedan
concept and, for another,
its affordable price and
build quality makes it a
very tempting proposition.
However, I’ve since
changed my mind, after
driving the next level up
in the series I’ve discovered
that it is even more
tempting. The Mazda3
GTX shares much the same
specification as the entrylevel
model, but its 2.5-litre
engine is an absolute stunner
and I’d be prepared to
pay extra for it.
To recap, the all-new
Mazda3 lands in six
variations, there are three
hatchbacksand three
sedans, all priced similarly.
There’s a choice of a 2-litre
or 2.5-litre engine in both
body styles, with Limited
variations rounding out the
series at $48,795.
The base model GSX
lands at $36,595, while the
mid-spec model which has
really captured my attention
sits at $40,795.
When I say mid-spec,
it doesn’t miss out on
much. Sure it doesn’t get
leather trim nor electric
seat adjustment, but that
suits me fine. I’ve often
written that some buyers
don’t want all the bells and
whistles and that’s me, I’m
very much drawn to those
models which provide the
best value.
The Mazda3 GTX benefits
from its bigger engine.
It does everything just
so easily and never feels
strained, also fuel usage
isn’t compromised. Mazda
claims 6.6-litre per 100km
(43mpg) combined cycle
average for the 2.5, that’s
opposed to a 6.2l/100km
(45mpg) figure for the
2-litre engine. That being
the case, the difference is
marginal.
During my time with
the GTX it was constantly
sitting around 7.8l/100km
(36mpg), which was much
the same as those I recorded
in the GSX. At 100km/h
the instantaneous readout
sits at 5l/100km (56mpg)
with the engine turning
over at a leisurely1900rpm,
reinforcing my statement
that the engine is largely
under stressed, and that accounts
for the efficiency.
On the subject of figures,
Mazda claims 139kW and
252Nm power outputs for
the 2.5 (2-litre, 114kW
and 200Nm). While the
2-litre punches above its
weight, the extra torque of
MAZDA3 GTX HATCHBACK: Effortless power
from 2.5-litre engine.
the 2.5 really shows, the
GTX is also lightweight at
1368kg, so the power-toweight
equation is biased
well towards performance.
The GTX will scamper to
100km/h in 8.8sec, and will
cut out a highway overtake
in 4.9sec (80-120km/h).
• Price – Mazda3 GTX
hatchback, $40,795
• Dimensions –
Length, 4460mm;
width, 1795mm;
height, 1435mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder,
front-wheel-drive,
2488cc, 139kW,
252Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.8sec
• Fuel usage –
6.6l/100km
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
Drive is channelled
through a six-speed automatic
transmission, that
is the only gearbox in the
range.
It stands out for its quick,
smooth shifts andratios
which always seem to have
the engine in the right zone
for response to throttle
request.
The GTX doesn’t get
paddle shifters, but they are
pretty much a luxury and
are included on the Limited.
However, if the driver
wants to be involved in the
gearshift process sequential
shifts can be manipulated
from the main gearshift
lever.
I took the evaluation
car inland to Methven, it’s
good to see the gateway
to Mt Hutt vibrant on a
Sunday afternoon. The
roads were a little tricky
with frost still showing on
the grass berms, and water
on the road that looked like
it was on the point of freezing
over with ice.
Nevertheless, the Mazda3
travelled the tricky sections
with surety. There
is a lot of rubber on the
road (215/45 x 18in),
consequently, there is a lot
of feedback through the
steering wheel and positive
turn-in when corners
arrive.
I mentioned in my last
evaluation that the new
Mazda3 has a torsion
beam rear suspension,
that’s a departure from the
previous generation model,
nevertheless, the more I’m
in the new 3 the more I’m
enjoying the chassis and
suspension dynamics.
The rear doesn’t quite
have the freedom of the
past, but it’s not disgraced,
and occupant comfort has
certainly not been jeopardised.
The Mazda3’s handling
qualities are certainly
up to par.
I particularly liked the
way it steers and drives out
of a corner, it is sportslike,
and I guess that’s no
surprise given Mazda’s
heritage with performance
vehicles.
For its price the GTX is
well specced. It gets satellite
navigation, idle stop-start,
head-up display and radar
cruise control, the latter
part of a huge safety package
Mazda label I-Activesense
that easily earns it a
five-star Australasian New
Car Assessment Program
rating.
The new Mazda3
hatchback stands out
for one other reason, its
styling is bold and captures
attention. The rear quarter
is almost chunky, but such
is its flow it doesn’t look
awkward.
If its styling is too bold
for some then the sedan
could well be the way into
the range. I’m due to drive
it soon, and I simply can’t
wait.

matches the speed and ease
of salad rocket.
In fact, once you have
it in the garden you often
don’t need to re-plant as it
readily seeds – almost everywhere.
Rocket is a wonderful
salad green.
The deliciously mustard/
peppery taste adds flavour
and depth to salad dishes,
sandwiches or even as a
pizza topping to give an
interesting combination of
flavour.
Used either on its own or
drizzled with balsamic and
parmesan or blended with
other leafy greens, it’s a
must for any vege garden.
The most common variety
is common rocket –
Eruca sativa.
A similar tasting and
looking rocket or arugula
is Diplotaxis tenuifolia.

Plant rhododendrons
if you have acidic soil
WHEN IT comes to getting
bang for your buck in the spring,
some flowering plants are head
and shoulders above the others
when it comes to vibrancy and
colour.
Consider magnolias. Deciduous
magnolias have to be near
the top of the list.
All round the place at the
moment they are smothering
themselves in flowers that range
in colour from crisp clean whites
to soft pinks and rich purples
and magentas. These hardy
characters thrive in a wide range
of conditions and recent new
hybrids have been developed for
smaller gardens.

carpet they leave behind under a low spreading bush Pieris, couple of months.
Get herbs in now
ALL THE promise of spring is
out there in the herb garden.
It’s a good idea to plant herbs
close to the kitchen — the further
away they are, the less likely
you are to pick them, especially
in rainy weather.
Most of the cooking herbs like
a place in the sun, though mint
will grow in a damp shady spot.
If you don’t have much space,
stick to those herbs you know
you’ll use in cooking.
Consider growing them in
pots, or plant herbs in the flower
garden — most are quite decorative.
Fresh coriander is an important
ingredient in many Thai
and Indian dishes and now’s the
time for planting the seeds of
this annual herb.
Coriander plants are taprooted
and don’t transplant well,
so sow seeds where you want
the plants to grow and thin out
when necessary.
The seeds are slow to germinate,
so don’t give up on them
too soon.
Some varieties of chives die
down in the winter, while others
stay green the whole year
through.
If rust is a problem, cut the
clumps back and wait for fresh
rust-free growth. If that doesn’t
work, it may be best to plant

some new bulbs in a different
spot.
Clumps need to be divided
and replanted every few years in
any case or the chives get overcrowded
and loose their vigour.
Garlic chives have a stronger
flavour than regular chives and
the flowers are white and starry
rather than pom-pom shaped.
The plants grow more slowly
and the leaves stand up to cooking
a bit better.
Parsley comes in two forms –
the curly-leaved variety and flat
or broad-leaved parsley, often
known as Italian parsley. The
latter is currently more trendy
but at a pinch you can usually
substitute one for the other.

LusciOus LawNs
Who doesn’t love a lush green lawn?
Spring is a fantastic time to get your
lawns into shape after the winter
months. Here are our top tips:
• Fertilise existing lawns now as
this will give them a good boost of
nutrients going into the growing
season. Look out for signs of red
thread, moss and grass grub and get
on top of them before it gets too bad.
Use Kiwicare LawnPro Lawn Guard for
red thread and our Lawn Fertiliser for
Moss control. As with any fertilising,

continuing education
gain a
second chance
at ncea
Each year up to 10,000 young people
in New Zealand leave school with little
or no formal qualifications. Many teens
disengage with school as the teaching
environment simply does not suit their
style of learning. Research shows that
without a qualification they are more likely
to have difficulties entering the workforce,
as most jobs nowadays require NCEA and
a driver’s licence.
Many early school leavers unfortunately
believe that secondary school is the only
way to earn their NCEA qualifications.
This misconception is particularly
concerning for those young people
who don’t necessarily ‘fit’ the schooling
environment, but still want to find
employment or complete certain industry
training courses for which an NCEA
qualification is a pre-requisite.
Every year dozens of young people
are getting a second chance at earning
NCEA credits after leaving secondary
school, thanks to Vision College. The
Private Training Establishment (PTE) are
spreading awareness to the young people
in the community, making sure they know
that achieving their NCEA levels outside
of school is within their reach.
Vision College’s free ‘Ultimate’
programme offers students without NCEA
the opportunity to gain NCEA Level 1
and 2, their driver’s licence, and a range of
skills designed to make them employable.
Students earn their NCEA credits in
a more practical way, through games,
hands-on activities, and by applying their
learning to real life situations. Students
also get to experience tasters of different
career and study paths to help them
decide where they would like to head after
completing ‘Ultimate’.
School leavers can also enrol in
Security, Early Childcare or Business
Administration courses to earn not only
credits towards NCEA Level 3, but also
a career qualification in just six months.
These courses are all free for anyone aged
between 16 and 19. Upon completion
students can even pathway onto higher
study with Vision College in Web and
Software Design, Early Childhood
Education, and Counselling.
Vision College are enrolling now for
2020! For more information on their

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
Off-roading in an
Austin 7 Scout
A love of vintage, steam and tinkering inspired
Mike Milne to build his own Austin 7 Scout, a car
he says is lots of fun and takes up little space in the
garage.
Mike, who is a member of the Vintage Car Club,
built up a collection of Austin 7 parts (all of the same
year, chassis and body numbers) then using photos
as a reference, assembled the Austin 7 Scout building
the body himself. The project took two years and
numerous hours with the car completed in 2006.
“It’s not the normal ‘run of the mill’ Austin 7. With
no lights or windscreen, the Scout is the closest
thing to driving a car without any assistance,” advises
Mike.
The Austin 7 Scout is often seen at the vintage car
trials at Balcairn, negotiating technical hill climbs,
crossing rivers and ploughing through muddy bogs.
‘Muddy’ as daughter Taylor named the car, is often
taken off-road around the Mackenzie country and
Otago, to areas such as Mt Cook Station, the Rock
and Pillar Range and the Mavora Lakes.
“Like the series Land Rover, the Austin 7 Scout can
pretty much go anywhere,” says Mike.
Mike also takes the Austin 7 Scout to larger events
like the Irishman Rally, which historically starts
near Christchurch and finishes at Irishmans Creek
(south of Tekapo). Vehicles travel approximately 120
miles each day over country and metal roads, and
some great off-road farmers’ tracks. Last year, the
event attracted 152 pre-1931 cars from around New
Zealand and overseas.
Mike’s Austin 7 Scout is a 1929 7Hp model.
Originally manufactured by the British Army’s 17th
FC (Field Company), the car was popular with the
army as substitute for tanks, the latter being limited
by an armament agreement after world war one.
With the army having lost a number of armoured
vehicles in training accidents, the Austin 7 Scout was
an affordable option for training tank crews, general
scout and patrol purposes.
Coach builder’s chassis (comprising wheels,
chassis, engine, radiator, tank, steering wheel
and seats) were supplied to the British Army and
exported to countries like France and Germany for
assembling. In America, the cars were built under
licence by Bantam, the forerunner to the Willys Jeep.
The first Austin 7 Scouts had standard mudguards.
These were replaced with more economical timber
expedition guards, which offer the advantage of
being able to be removed and used as planks when
crossing small ditches.
Mike’s Austin 7 Scout is loved by all the family. It
transports the children to and from school and takes
the family away camping, with saddle bags attached
to carry the gear. They explore many 4WD tracks
and out of the way places in the car they call ‘Muddy’.
“The Austin 7 Scout’s so different, it attracts lots of
attention,” says Mike.
The 1920
Austin 7 Scout
is a vintage
off-road car
used as an
army training
vehicle.

Tasty Bites
SELWYN TIMES
American dessert to top off Kiwi main
This well-known Florida
dessert can be made even
better with a box of fresh
New Zealand limes
Lime Pie
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
250g digestive biscuits, well
crushed
100g butter, melted
Filling
390g sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
1 tsp lime zest
½ cup fresh lime juice
Pinch of salt
300ml cream, whipped
Equipment
20cm pie dish
Directions
Heat the oven to 180 deg C.
Begin by crushing the biscuits
to a fine crumb.
Add the melted butter and mix
well so all the crumbs are coated
in the butter. Press firmly into
the pie dish covering the sides.
Bake for 15min. Remove and
cool.
To make the filling, mix the
condensed milk with the egg
yolks, lime juice and zest. Mix
thoroughly and pour into the
prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie for 15min or until
set. Remove from the oven and
cool completely.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours,
but preferably overnight.
When ready to serve,
traditionally it is covered with
cream or you can serve it
alongside if desired.
The pie is a great way to top
off a classic South Island main
with meat and three veg
Venison fillet
Serves 4
Ingredients
850g venison fillet
500ml extra virgin olive oil
2 sprigs rosemary
1/2 head cauliflower
1 litre cream
8 heads bok choi
100ml tamari or soy sauce
250g carrots
500g agria potatoes
2 litres beef stock
1 litre chicken stock
500ml red wine (pinot
noir)
Salt, butter and cooking oil
Directions
First cut the venison fillet into
four 200g portions and marinate
in olive oil and rosemary.
Overnight is best, but for at least
a couple of hours.
Put stock and red wine in a
pot and reduce until medium
thickness and sticky, should
have a deep meaty flavour. This
may take an hour or so of rapid
boiling/reduction.
Slice potatoes as thin as
possible and layer into a baking
dish with a light sprinkle of salt
every few layers.
Bring cream to a boil and pour
over potatoes, place in oven at
165 deg C for about one hour
or until golden and cooked
through.
This can be set aside and
reheated or served fresh.
Peel carrots, toss in olive oil
and season. These can cook in
the oven with the potatoes, and
should be golden and soft to the
bite when finished.
Boil cauliflower florets in salty
water with a dash of cream or
milk in the water to make it
cloudy.
Boil for 5-8min until soft, then
blitz in food processor with a
few spoons of butter and salt to
taste until smooth. This can be
easily reheated in a saucepan.
Sear venison in cooking oil in a
hot skillet then transfer to oven
for 5min Saute bok choi in a hot
pan and deglaze with tamari –
that should steam the bok choi
through and add a nice sticky
glaze. Serve cauliflower puree,
venison and jus (gravy) on one
plate and the sides to share are
served in separate bowls.
Serve with red wine vinegar on
the side to help cut through the
gaminess of the venison.

Grab your girlfriends, mum or daughters and enjoy
a day out at one of Canterbury’s largest events!
Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 October, 10am – 5pm
Horncastle Arena, Christchurch
Door sales $10 | Kids under 12 free
This year’s Women’s Lifestyle Expo will be the biggest yet with over 200 companies
under one roof for one weekend. Pegged as the perfect girls’ day out, the show aims
to include as wide of a range of companies as possible, so the expo is a great day out
no matter what your interests are. Women are all different and their interests are so
diverse, so while one woman may be interested in gourmet food the woman beside
her may be more interested in booking a V8 Supercar drive, checking out the fashion
sites or even planning a holiday.
The show features artisan crafters exhibiting alongside national brands like Dilmah tea,
Lorna Jane activewear and Suzuki. “It’s great on the weekend to see all the various
women visit the show, from teenagers to grandmothers, mothers and daughters of
all ages and friends simply enjoying each other’s company” says Renee Murray from
NZME Events.
The expo features lots of new companies this year with everything from fashion and
accessories to organic products, delicious food, artisan crafts, unique businesses,
eco-friendly products and so much more.

Encouraging more
women to join
Only four percent of career firefighters
and 16 per cent of volunteer
firefighters are women but this is
slowly changing, chairperson of
Region Te Ihu Women’s Advisory
Network and Timaru senior fire fighter
Donna Lindsay said.
She said the move from using the
term firemen to firefighters has been a
positive step in recognising the work
women have been doing for years,
and FENZ is beginning to promote the
job to get more women involved.
“A lot of them see the fitness side,
especially the upper body strength, as
a bit of a barrier.”
“There has been, in Auckland and
hopefully Christchurch, little boot
camps in eight week blocks to help
people get up to speed with their
fitness and strength but that’s only a
part of the job.”
Lindsay said the work of the fire
service is more community-based
such as education at A&P shows and
in schools, and supporting at call outs
such as road traffic incidents.
Some brigades also take on childcare
volunteers to look after the firefighters
children when they are called to a job.
Most women would find something
within Fire and Emergency that would
make them want to join whether
it’s team building, community work,
talking – it’s not always fighting fires.”
It’s a very rewarding job and we need
the students and young people out
there to realise it is a possibility when
they start looking at careers.”

family bathroom & there is also a study. A sizeable separate

What home buyers should know
about insurance
For most Kiwis, your home is probably
the single biggest purchase you’ll ever
make. It’s a stressful process and it makes
sense that you’d want to secure insurance
to protect yourselves and your new home
from natural disaster, fire or any other
accidental events.
Real Estate Authority (REA) chief
executive Kevin Lampen-Smith, says:
“Adding ‘insurance’ near the top of your
checklist when hunting for a house is
now very important as the insurance
market is changing. A bank or lender
will want proof that you have arranged
property insurance before settlement,
even if you have conditional pre-approval
with your finances”.
To work out if a property can be
insured, contact different insurance
companies to get a quote. It can also be a
good idea to talk to an insurance broker.
They are independent insurance experts,
who work for you and are not attached
to an insurance company. They will give
you advice on what might be best for
your situation – identifying risks and
recommending cost-effective solutions.
“If you already have contents insurance,
get in touch with your insurer first to see
if they’ll offer you property insurance,”
says Lampen Smith.
Insurers often ask lots of questions
about your personal insurance history
and whether you (or anyone who will be
living at the property) have any criminal
convictions. “This is because they want
to be sure that you are a ‘good risk’, especially
since this will be your first home.
Having an existing relationship with an
insurer means that you have already been
assessed in this way,” Lampen-Smith
says.
An insurer will want to know as much
as possible about the property you want
to buy – its address, age, condition, size
and the materials it is made from. If the
house is being sold by a licensed real
estate agent, they should be able to help
you out with this information. “You can
ask the agent if the property is currently
insured and whether there have been any
issues with the property that could affect
its chances of being reinsured in the
future,” Lampen-Smith says.
“If you are aware of other risks to the
property that an insurer is unlikely to
know about, such as landslip issues –
even if there has not been any damage
to the home yet – you need to tell the
insurer when applying for a quote or for
cover. For example, if the house is in an
area that has been flooded before, an
insurer may limit or exclude any cover
for flood damage. If this is the case,
it’s better to know as early as possible,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“You can contact the Earthquake
Commission (EQC) directly to see what
information they might have on record
regarding potential damage to the property
from natural disasters.”
“I also suggest seeking legal advice
before signing a sale and purchase agreement
as you may need to make confirmation
of insurance an important condition
of your offer,” says Lampen-Smith.
There are a few different types of insurance
– ‘sum insured’ is the most common
in New Zealand.
The Insurance
Council of New
Zealand (ICNZ)
has a great guide to
house and contents
insurance, which
runs through the
options.
Insurance companies
are reassessing
how they cover
coastal or clifftop
properties or
properties in low
lying areas that may suffer from seawater
inundation due to the increasing risk of
environmental damage or rising sea levels.
This means that the cost of premiums
may increase, exclusions may be added,
or insurance cover may be withdrawn for
some properties as the risk changes. EQC
doesn’t cover damage to land from coastal
erosion (although it does cover storm
and flood damage to land) or damage to
residential structures or contents from
storms, floods or coastal erosion.
“While earthquake damage is covered
by EQC, you must have private home
insurance first to qualify for it,” Lampen-Smith
says. The premium you pay is
broken down into the cover that goes to
the company and a levy that goes to EQC
and Fire and Emergency NZ. From 1 July
2019, EQC no longer covers contents –
affecting policy holders on the anniversary
date of their existing policy, which
is generally the annual renewal date, or if
you take out a new policy.
“If an insurer agrees to cover a property
you wish to buy, let your lender know
immediately. You will need the insurance
to start on settlement day, when
the property officially becomes yours,
even if you aren’t moving in that day. In
most cases you can set the insurance up
around 6–8 weeks before you settle –
arranging it early means one less thing to
do close to your settlement day.”
“If you can’t find an insurer willing to
insure the house you are keen to buy,
it may be safer to walk away. If you do
find an insurer for the property, make
sure you read and understand the policy.
And, don’t leave any insurance matters
to the last minute or fail to read the fine
details in documents the insurer sends
you once cover has been arranged,” says
Lampen-Smith.

Knowing what could happen
if you can’t complete a sale
Life can sometimes take an unexpected
turn when you’re buying a house. Knowing
what could happen to your deposit
and sale and purchase agreement if your
circumstances suddenly change and you
are unable to complete the deal will leave
you in a much stronger position.
“There are many “what-ifs” to consider
when buying a home and I urge you to
talk through your concerns with your
lawyer or conveyancer as soon as your
circumstances change,” says Real Estate
Authority (REA) chief executive, Kevin
Lampen-Smith.
“A sale and purchase agreement is a
legally binding contract between you and
the seller, which becomes unconditional
once the allocated time for meeting
your conditions has been reached,” says
Lampen-Smith.
“Once the agreement for sale and
purchase becomes unconditional, then
you not only don’t get your deposit back,
but also face the likelihood of having
to purchase the property – even if you
can’t afford to – or having to cancel the
agreement and be sued for any loss the
seller suffers as a result of you failing to
settle the sale. So, if your circumstances
suddenly change, you’ll need to speak to
your lawyer as soon as possible.”
Getting finances sorted to buy a property
isn’t easy, but understanding the
different deposits when you buy a house
can help. There are two different kinds of
deposits – the deposit you pay when you
make an offer and your bank deposit.
A buyer will usually be required to pay
a deposit when the sale and purchase
agreement is signed by both parties. The
deposit paid is often about 10 per cent of
the total price you are offering – you can
negotiate a different rate if you need to –
and is usually held in a trust account by
the real estate agent. The real estate agent
takes their commission fee out of this
amount when the agreement becomes
unconditional and the remaining balance
goes to the seller.
When you arrange a home loan with a
bank, you must have a certain amount of
funds to use as a deposit – your bank deposit.
This deposit will more than likely
be different from the amount your sale
and purchase agreement states that you
must pay the seller. For example, your
bank may need you to have 20 per cent
of the purchase price available as a bank
deposit in order to secure your mortgage,
even if you only have to pay the seller a
10 per cent deposit.
“When drawing up a sale and purchase
agreement, you can include conditions of
the sale, such as a title search, valuation,
LIM report, obtaining finance, obtaining
insurance and builder’s inspection,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“Including conditions can really help
– you can even negotiate your sale and
purchase deposit.”
“If you find that you need extra time to
complete any conditions of the purchase,
you must speak to your lawyer or conveyancer
immediately. They will negotiate
with the seller through their real
estate agent or lawyer or conveyancer,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“Any changes to the conditions will
need to be added to the sale and purchase
agreement and signed off by you
and the seller. If your conditions are not
able to be met, eg, the building fails the
property inspection, then you may be
able to cancel the agreement and then
your deposit will be refunded to you.”
“It’s very important that you speak to a
lawyer before finalising your offer conditions
so that they adequately protect you
if something that you find out about the
property during the conditional period is
not to your satisfaction,” Lampen-Smith
says.
“There is potential that defaulting on
a sale, because of finances, could affect
future borrowing. Talk this through with
your lawyer and it would also be wise
to seek advice from a qualified financial
adviser. A financial adviser may also be
able to talk you through the pros and
cons of income protection insurance for
situations such as sickness, disability,
unemployment and death.”
“In life, there are so many things we
cannot be sure of, but it’s always worth
doing your homework and seeking solid
professional advice when purchasing a
home.”

Buying a property at auction
If you’re keen on a property that’s going to auction, preparation
is everything. A successful bid means you are immediately
committed to buy the property; you cannot seek legal advice,
arrange finance or even get the property valued or inspected
when the auction is over.
That means you need to do all your
due diligence in advance of auction day.
Before the auction (usually after you’ve
viewed the property), the real estate agent
working for the seller should provide you
with a copy of the terms and Contract of
Sale, which sets out what chattels will be
included with the property. This document
will also tell you the amount of the deposit
to be paid by the successful bidder, and
when the balance of the payment must
be made. These documents should be
checked by your lawyer.
You should consider having the property
checked (preferably by a qualified
inspector who has professional indemnity
insurance and carries out their work
in accordance with the New Zealand
Property Inspection Standards and
obtain an up-to-date Land Information
Memorandum (LIM) from the local
council. It’s a good idea to get a valuation
of the property, especially as you are likely
to require one if you need a loan. Some
websites provide free estimated market
values that may be useful.
There’s a lot to
take in at an auction
and it’s easy to
feel overwhelmed.
If you can, go
along to one as
an observer to see
how the process
works before you
actually want to
buy. Remember
that the auctioneer
is working for the
seller and they want
to get the highest
price possible for
the property.
At an auction,
the auctioneer will read the terms and
conditions of the sale aloud and announce
if a reserve price has been set. They must
also state whether the seller has reserved
the right to bid during the auction. This
is called ‘vendor bidding’ and it is only
allowed under strict circumstances, such
as when the property being auctioned has
a reserve price; when the reserve price has
not yet been met; and the auctioneer has
made it clear that the bid being made is a
vendor bid. They must do this by saying,
‘this is a vendor bid’ rather than using any
jargon.
Auctioneers sometimes use vendor
bids as a way to start off the bidding, or
to move the bidding towards the reserve
price. Vendor bids can be made by the
auctioneer, or another person working on
behalf of the seller, such as a real estate
agent. An auctioneer can also use a preauction
offer to start the bidding.
The auction continues until there is only
one bidder left. At that stage, if the reserve
price is reached or beaten, the highest
bidder will be the successful buyer. If the
reserve price isn’t reached, the seller can
tell the auctioneer to stop the auction
without selling the property.
If the auction is stopped without a
sale, the highest bidder may have the
opportunity to negotiate with the seller
(via their agent) after the auction. If this
happens, the terms and conditions of
the auction no longer apply and you can
negotiate new ones.

Urszula was the standout agent of the three
I met when considering selling my home.
That said, she impressed me much more than
I was expecting during the campaign, often doing so
much more to assist me than I asked. There was
never a point at which I felt pressured into changing my
expectations and never had the impression that Urszula
was commission focused or looking for a quick sale. In
short, I believe Urszula had my best interests at heart and
I guarantee that when I next come to selling or buying a
home there will be no other agent
I’ll consider. When you have tried the best,
why employ the rest!

Property Market Update
with Mike Pero Real Estate
Buyers require
more information
Lending institutions now require more
information before approving finance.
Attaining insurance cover is also not as
straight forward.
This has led to more astute home buyers
who are looking beyond the superficial
and requesting details on the condition of
a property, before committing to buy.
“Purchasers are seeking far more detail
than in the past,” says Joe Brankin who
with wife Tracey, are branch owners of
Mike Pero Real Estate, West Melton and
Rolleston.
Joe says many buyers are taking time
when viewing a property and looking to
see if it has any faults.
“While buyers have always examined
a property before purchasing, they now
want more details about its condition,”
explains Joe.
It is advisable for sellers to deal with any
problems within their property, before
listing on the market. Sorting maintenance
jobs which have been hanging around for
a while, is always a good idea says Joe.
Doing so not only aids a future sale but
also minimises stress at a time when a
seller is looking to move on and may also
be house hunting. Sorting a problem to
ensure a sale at this time, can be another
hassle while challenging the home owner
at a busy time.
Fixing issues early is also important as
potential buyers may be deterred when
first visiting the property if defects are
visible.
It is wise to sort minor issues such as
cracked windows, dripping taps, peeling
paint or lifting floor coverings and more
importantly, deal with existing serious
matters such as plumbing leaks, weather
tightness problems and failed structural
components. Early attention to such
repairs will help make the selling process a
better experience. It may also avoid having
Joe and Tracey Brankin.
a purchaser cancel their contract due to
maintenance issues being identified during
an inspection.
Tidiness around the property is also
significant to avoid any distractions from
the look of your exterior as an untidy
garden may put potential buyers off.
Joe says buyers come under pressure
from lending institutions and insurers,
who want to know the home is sound
and weatherproof. They will request
information about the type and condition
of its features, such as the windows,
plumbing, wiring, wall linings, floor
coverings and appliances.
When applying for finance, a valuation
may be required along with a building
report. Building inspectors now use
sophisticated technology to identify faults,
with their reports quite detailed. While
a second hand home will have wear and
tear, what is of concern is whether there is
deterioration which might be a potential
issue in the future.

That doesn’t appeal to the villa crowd.
But many people dream of a home in a
new suburb.
There are many other advantages --
such as being able to customise the home
before it’s built. Buyers love it that their
build guarantee covers most things and
there’s little maintenance to do for the first
10 years.
There are a long list of reasons some
people dream of buying new.
They include:
• Current Building Code requirements
specify a higher standard of insulation
and glazing than you can expect in an
older home, which makes your new home
warmer in winter and cooler in summer,
meaning cheaper to run. In addition
there has been a vast improvement in the
quality and technology of construction
materials over the last decade.
• New homes are designed for modern
lifestyles with walk-in wardrobes, double
or triple car garaging, en suites and heat
pumps.
• Internal access garaging.
• Indoor-outdoor flow. Home builders
before the 1970s rarely thought about this.

• Automatic pool covers and electric
curtains are included in a lot of new
homes, he says.
• In a new subdivision you’re not going
to have five cross-leased small homes next
door to your architecturally designed fivebedroom
dream home, he says.
• New purpose-built shopping and
service centres cater for the modern life.
• New schools can be popular. New
schools are being designed with “Modern
Learning Environments”, which are
considered better layouts for 21st-century
learning.
Another important factor is it’s easier
to get a mortgage. New Reserve Bank of
New Zealand loan to value (LVR) ratio
restrictions from October 1 don’t relate
to new homes. Likewise the KiwiSaver
HomeStart grant is doubled for first time
buyers.
When it comes to new apartment
buildings they’re built to a higher
standard of earthquake/fire proofing and,
hopefully, are no longer leaky.
There are, of course, disadvantages to

buying new. Not everyone wants to wait
six or 12 months to move into their home.
Other downsides include:
• Borrowing to cover the progress
payments is more complex than taking
out a mortgage on an existing property.
• Builders and developers can go broke,
leaving the buyer in an awkward position.
• With some new homes the buyer
effectively needs to become a project
manager.
• You have to deal with council for
building and sometimes resource consent.
• The location may be further from the
centre than you wanted.
• If it’s infill housing you might have a
cross lease situation that some people find
tricky.
• There are often teething problems with
a new build.
• You won’t get a quaint tree-lined
street.
• Your section will most likely be
smaller than that of an existing home.
• Fences, paths and landscaping might
need to be added at a cost.
