Called Be(you)tiful, the programme helps build selfesteem, self expression, confidence and body acceptance among girls aged 10 to 14 years. If offers advice and encouragement on a range ofareas, as well as basic beauty care skills, and has the slogan ‘‘sparkling onthe inside and out’’. Many of our young women are doubting themselves, comparing themselves to others instead of believing in themselves, so the programme’s focus is on building their own strengths and empowering each other, says cooordinator Jenny Rae. The 2019 Be(you)tiful programme would run again next term for eight weeks in both Ashburton and Methven, and places had filled quickly, said coordinator Jenny Rae.

Local news at www.starnews.co.nz Ashburton’s The Courier, Thursday 24 October 2019, Page 11 Subdivision unveiled By John Keast Construction of a new semirural development at Lake Hood is under way, with buyer interest, and developers John Skevington and Jo Ruane admit they nearly gave up on their dream. The couple opened the Village Green subdivision for inspection on Friday and say titles are due before Christmas. Village Green has mountain views and is surrounded by farmland. Only 35 homes will be built there, it is labelled ‘‘private and exclusive’’. Mr Skevington said the surrounding farm land would be maintained and grazed by the developers ‘‘so you get all the space of alifestyle block without the work’’. The blocks are off Huntingdon Avenue, Lake Hood and range in size from 1428m3 to 1917m3 and there will be two reserve areas. Work on stage one is under way, with streets formed and underground services in. Mr Skevington said the development was along time in the making. He had his first meeting with consultants in May, 2006 and it was 18 months before the project was made public. The couple then spent the next two years seeking a plan change, and the project started in June this year. Mr Skevington praised the development team at Ashburton Contracting (a whollyowned council subsidiary) and said they got 11 out of 10. Builder Mitch Hammond will put a show home on alot. Mr Skevington said he had nearly given the project away a couple of times, but was proud now of what was being created.

For many, it’s businessasusual right up until the festive season, and this is certainly true for the Council. With the triennial local body elections now behind us, our attentions are once again firmly focused on several major projects that are about to start or are already well under way in the Ashburton District. Work on the $960,000 Rakaia Salmon Site upgrade is continuing on track. Earlier this month, the proposed options for the area were put out for community feedback via a short survey, and we received 106 responses. We asked residents to have their say on arange of improvements, such as additional playground equipment, new plantings, lighting, seating, the location of the caravan dump station and of course, the new public toilets. Thank you to those who participated in the survey. We have been looking at how those ideas can be incorporated into the upgrades. The new 10pan toilet facility is expected to be completed by April next year, with playground equipment, seating and landscaping work continuing from there. Next month, we will begin the $7 million Ashburton River Crossing and Pump Station project. The new and larger wastewater pipe under the river and new pump station going next to the treatment plant outside Tinwald will help to futureproof this vital infrastructure for Ashburton’s continued growth, and we’re very pleased to begin delivering this upgrade. The project will start on 4November and take 14 months to complete, which gives you an indication of the scale of this project. The Ashburton CBD Revitalisation has reached abit of amilestone this week, with the first signs of physical work to the streetscape starting on Tuesday. Road markings are being painted around the town centre to indicate where important underground services are located. Once the surveyors have identified these areas, the information will be used to create adetailed work programme for the street upgrades to start in the New Year. The major rehabilitation work on Beach Road in Ashburton continues to progress. The entire length of the road from Chalmers Avenue to Trevors Road is being dug up and replaced with stronger gravels, and improvements and repairs are also being made. As always, these standout projects take place alongside our usual work programmes so there is no shortage of activity around the Council at the moment.
