“I was pretty nervous when I
found out I would lose it at first
but I settled in when I realised
it was all going to a good
cause and I was happy to be
involved,” said Mr Brown.
He was initially planning on
growing out the beard again.
‘I was planning on growing
it straight back but from everyone’s

Second
rest
home
planned
• By Devon Bolger
ANOTHER LARGE retirement
home is planned for Prebbleton.
Bupa has plans to put a 100-plus
unit retirement village and care
home near Stationmasters Way.
It comes two weeks after Summerset
announced the purchase
of the old Meadow Mushrooms
site on Springs Rd where it will
build a 290-home retirement village.
Bupa head of property development
Jamie Gibson their facility
will have 101 villas, a 56-bed care
home, 16 serviced apartments and
will create more than 80 jobs.
“The village and care home
will help to meet the increasing
demand in the area. The development
will be delivered in multiple
stages until 2023.”
Mr Gibson said stage one of
the villa development will begin
before Christmas with the first
units due for release in November
next year.
The moves from Bupa and
Summerset could also pave the
way for other retirement villages
across the district.

THERE’S NO rocket science in building
rest homes in Selwyn.
On page 1 today we reveal another large
complex is planned for Prebbleton.
As the population swells there is going
to be a market for all types of housing in
the decades to come – three and four-bedroom houses for the
influx of families, over-60s units and now retirement villages at
the outer end of the age spectrum.
And I suspect for many older people, it is good news rest
homes are now on the horizon.
A high percentage of the elderly are born and bred in the district,
the thought of moving outside of the area when it’s time
to move on from the family home must be a stressful thought.
Not anymore.

Fire restrictions
likely from this weekend
• By Devon Bolger
A FIRE restriction could be
placed on the district as soon as
Friday night.
Principal rural fire officer
Bruce Janes said: “I’ll be recommending
that we go into
restricted season at midnight on
Friday evening.
“We are
working
through the
processes, I
can’t just do it,
I have to tick
a lot of boxes
and things

before we can
actually do it.
“It is safe
to say the district is heading
towards restricted season this
weekend,’’ Mr Janes said.
Firefighters are anticipating
another busy dry season in the
district this year.
The hottest November on
record combined with a wet winter
has the district on course to
become a powder keg.
Mr Janes said Selwyn is drying
out very rapidly.

His advice is to check rubbish

burn-off sites.
“Anything that is a large pile
or a big pit or was a big burn off,
even months ago, needs checking.
“We’re getting what we call

“We discussed that we have
a lot of growth which will turn
to fuel by virtue of being dried
out.”
Darfield chief fire officer Alan
Kittelty said people need to be
aware of the potential risks during
the hotter weather.
“The district is pretty dry this
time of the year and I think
people just need to be vigilant
and if they see something out of
the ordinary they need to call it
in.”

DRIVER TO FACE CHARGES
A young female driver will
be charged with drink driving
after a crash on Leeston-
Dunsandel Rd late on Saturday
night. Sergeant Alex Pickover
said the driver was under the
age of 20 so she will be
charged with excess blood
alcohol and appear in court.
The driver recorded a breath
alcohol reading of 313mcg/l.
The legal limit for anyone
under 20 is 0mcg/l Sergeant
Pickover said there were no
injuries.
FIRE BESIDE RAILWAY LINE
A passing train was responsible
for a small scrub fire near the
railway line between Kirwee
and Darfield on Friday. Fire
crews from the Kirwee and West
Melton stations were called to
the blaze at about 7.13am. Fire
and Emergency New Zealand
spokesman Brent Dunn said
the fire took about 45min to
put out. Mr Dunn said FENZ is
liaising with KiwiRail to ensure
the train and tracks are safe to
prevent further fires breaking
out.

Population growth offers potential
• From page 1
Ryman Healthcare spokesman
David King said although they
have no firm plans right now, the
district has the potential for a
future village.
“We think Selwyn is an area
with huge potential because of its
growth in recent years, and it is
definitely on our radar.’’
Selwyn is the second-fastestgrowing
district in New Zealand
with a population of 60,561
according to census 2018
figures.
Detailed 2018 census results
have not been released but figures
from census 2013 show 10.8 per
cent of residents are aged 65 years
and over.
Selwyn Central Community
Care volunteer co-ordinator
Juliette Easterbrook said more
rest homes are needed in the
district.
“People are having to go to
Hornby and Riccarton when they
go into care and there are more
and more of our clients going
into care,” she said.
Ms Easterbrook said it is a
good idea and a good thing for
the district but does wonder if the
size is necessary.

E-scooters could
be legal tomorrow
• By Devon Bolger
E-SCOOTERS may hit the
streets of Selwyn tomorrow
depending on the adoption
of a bylaw at a district
council meeting today.
The new traffic and parking
bylaw includes changes
that would make it legal for
commercial e-scooters to
use and park on streets.
Lime and local company
Lava have indicated they
plan to have scooters available
on Thursday morning
if it is adopted at the meeting
on Wednesday.
If it is not then the trial
will be unable to begin.
Lincoln residents Angela
and Phillip Eberhard
started the business Lava
Scooters.
Mrs Eberhard said they
will have scooters on the
street on Thursday but
their official launch is on
Saturday.
“Our plan is to launch
at the Lincoln Christmas
market and parade. We are
going to have a stall there
with some scooters and
some education going on,
helping people download
the app and things like that.”
She said their operating
hours will be between 7am-
9pm seven days a week.
It will cost $1 to unlock
a scooter and 35 cents per
minute after that and a
promo code will be available
for $5 off the first ride.
As the start draws near,
things are getting more
hectic, Mrs Eberhard said.
“There is a lot more to do
so it’s all about making lists
and ticking lots of boxes.

People power wins out
• By Devon Bolger
PEOPLE POWER in Tai Tapu
has won out over a planned
liquor store.
Gulati Brothers Enterprises
Ltd applied for an off-licence
to operate a liquor store
in Tai Tapu in the vacant
Belleza Boutique building on
Christchurch Akaroa Rd.
But the business has now
withdrawn its application to
the district council.
The application drew 54 objections.
Police and the Canterbury
District Health Board
medical officer of health were
among the objectors.
The Tai Tapu Community
committee also opposed the
application.
An email from the district
council to the committee said:
“The applicant informed the
chief licensing inspector that
he wouldn’t want to go against
the community decisions or to
upset the community.
“He would like to operate
a business with community
support.”
Committee chairman
Gerald Carter said it was great
news and he is happy with the
outcome.
Tai Tapu residents Janet
and Hugh Macleod strongly
objected to the application.
STEP-BACK: The vacant Belleza Boutique building on
Christchurch Akaroa Rd was the proposed location in the
liquor store application that has since been withdrawn.
She was very pleased to hear
it had been withdrawn.
“There seems to be plenty of
liquor outlets around here in
Lincoln and Halswell, so I am
very pleased they have pulled
out of their application.”
Mrs Macleod said Gulati
Brothers Enterprises Ltd’s
decision to withdraw its application
was a good one.
“It was a very good decision,”
she said.
“It would have been a real
shame if it had to go to a hearing
so I am pleased about that.”
Beard
no more
• From page 1
“There’s been a lot of opinions
to stay shaven so we will see if
the pressure gets the best of me,”
Mr Brown said.
He was amazed at the amount
of money raised.
“Everyone should be very
proud, it was quite a feat and we
could make a real difference.
“I’ve been pretty amazed by
the support we have received
from the locals, they are over the
moon for me.”
The Movember campaign is
an international movement that
focuses on men’s health issues.

FREE ENGRAVING
Rolleston police are offering free
engraving for scooters and bikes
to prevent them from going
missing.
Sergeant Alex Pickover said
they can be engraved with the
owner’s details so they are able
to return it if it’s handed in.
“We also ran it last year because
we used to get a whole load of
scooters handed in and since
then we have seen a decrease in
that.” To use the service, visit the
Rolleston station on Monday-
Friday from 8am-4pm.

CHERRY trees damaged
during the construction of
the new NPD in Darfield
will be replaced.
The contractor asked
for a tree to be removed
outside of the site in
November, district council
property and commercial
group manager Douglas
Marshall said.
“After an assessment,
the council agreed the
tree could be removed
and asked that three more
trees in the road reserve
were also removed as they
had been damaged during
construction.”
DAMAGE:
The NPD
site after
the trees
were
removed.
Axed trees to be replaced
near service station
Three of the trees are
now gone and one is due to
be removed.
Mr Marshall said thee
district council has asked
that four flowering cherry
trees be planted to replace
those that were removed.
NPD chief executive
Barry Sheridan said the
tree at the front of the site
was slightly damaged when
craning in one of their
signs.
“Further investigation
showed that the tree wasn’t
particularly healthy so,
with council approval, it
was removed. In its place,
we are planting a flowering
tree in the autumn, together
with replacing three
other trees further along
the road,” he said.
Malvern Community
Board member Bill Woods
said he is not happy with
the resolution.
“There has been no
reason given for the
removal of the two trees
that obscured the fuel
price sign. There was no
possibility that they
could have been damaged
during construction as
access to the site was off
Ritso St.”
He said the item will be
on the next community
board meeting agenda and
will be discussed further.

Sophie McInnes
Juggling motherhood and politics
Rolleston’s Sophie
McInnes has secured
herself a seat
representing the Selwyn
Central Ward at the
district council table. The
new councillor talked
to Devon Bolger about
juggling motherhood and
politics
What made you want to get
involved in the district council?
I felt like this is a time when
so much is happening, locally
and nationally, and I wanted to
play a bigger part. I want to be a
part of the big local projects like
expanding Pines Resource Recovery
Park and establishing the
health hub in Rolleston, and
the upcoming legislative changes
around water and emissions
which will have a huge impact
on the people of Selwyn. I also
hoped for more diversity among
the councillors to better reflect
the district’s demographic profile,
and am very happy that we
do now have a broader range in
terms of age, sex, and ethnicity.
Do you have a day job?
Not a paid one. I’ve been a
stay at home mum for the past
four years now. I have also been
volunteering during this time
which I think is a great way to
give back to your community.
I’m on the committee of Multiples
Canterbury which supports
families with twins, triplets
and quads in the upper South
Island. I also enjoy what’s called
bite-size volunteering which is
just volunteering but in a shorter
timeframe, like manning a
poppy stall. I have also joined the
new Rolleston Rotary club.
Can you tell me about your
family?
My husband Robert is a mechanical
design engineer turned
beekeeper and now works with
hives across Selwyn, Waimakiriri,
and Hurunui. We have
three fantastic children, Katelyn
is 12, and I have three-year-old
twins Jack and Chloe, they keep
us on our toes. My brother-inlaw
and his family also live in
Rolleston. My own family all live
in England and France.
How are you feeling about
juggling it all?
I am still feeling that one out.
Until recently I haven’t known
what committees I’m going to be
on and when exactly they will be
meeting and that kind of thing.
It’s great we have a bit more of a
timetable now and my husband’s
job is quite flexible so we just
have to find a way to balance it
all to the point where we can
both get done what we need to

do. Before I threw my hat in the
ring I made a point of speaking
with quite a few current councillors
and a couple of past ones
who had school-aged kids to get
some advice on how they made it
work so seeing that they can do it
showed me I can too.
How long have you lived in
Selwyn?
We came to New Zealand in
2010 and our first house was in
Halswell. In 2013 we moved to a
lifestyle block in Broadfield and
car-shared into Christchurch
for work but found that there
is a risk of disconnection when
you spend most of your daylight
hours somewhere else. Last year
we downsized for financial reasons
and moved into Rolleston
which has massively reduced our
fuel bill and increased our oldest
child’s ability to be independent.
What do you like about living
here?
It’s close to Christchurch, but
has its own identity. I really don’t
like hearing Rolleston referred
to as a suburb because there is
strength, character, and community
here. I also love that our
district really does stretch from
the mountains to the sea with
diverse landscapes in between
and lots of things to do.

• From page 20
Where did you grow up?
In Bournemouth on the south
coast of England, which is just
to the west of Christchurch,
England coincidentally. We went
back for a visit last June and it
was wonderful to see family,
friends, and my favourite places
again. I still believe that New
Zealand is the right place for my
little whānau though.
What are some of your biggest
achievements?
I’m not sure about these being
big achievements but my most
significant life experiences are
the summer I spent volunteering
in rural Kenya and being
diagnosed with thyroid cancer, I
am fully recovered now though.
They taught me a lot about appreciating
what you have and the
immense value of support. I refer
back to them a lot when thinking
about what is important, and
they keep me grounded when
things get tough.
Could you tell me more about
being diagnosed with cancer?
I was diagnosed in late 2007,
Katelyn was only a few months
old. I underwent surgery to treat
it and had a total thyroidectomy
followed by two rounds of radioactive
iodine. I was given the
all clear in 2008 and feel very
lucky. These days I just have to
take daily thyroxine tablets and
have bi-annual monitoring at
Christchurch Hospital. It took
a long time to feel safe though,
which is the main reason why we
have such a big age gap between
our kids.
What are you interested in
outside of the council?
Spending quality time with my
family, as much of it outdoors
as possible. I often take the kids
down to Coe’s Ford, Prebbleton
Nature Park, the Willows, or one
of the playgrounds in the district.
We’re looking forward to getting
out in the caravan again this
summer and we now have a 4WD
that we can all squeeze into as
well. I think it’s petty cool that we
can do all this without having to
leave Selwyn.
What expertise do you bring
to the council?
I’m not a member of any
profession but I don’t think this
is a disadvantage because sitting
around the council table is about
representing the community. I
have a degree in anthropology and
AMBITIOUS: Sophie McInnes has gone from a stay at home
mum to representing the Selwyn Central Ward at the district

a broad range of experience in both
the public and private sector.
I have been a PA for most of my
working life, so analysing and
communicating information
between different groups is quite
familiar to me. I am also an active
volunteer and user of local
SELWYN TIMES
Life experiences valuable for new council role
services which has put me in
touch with a wide range of people
and places across the district. On
top of this, being apart of a family
of five on a low income means
I absolutely feel the need to keep
rates manageable.
What do you know about
council procedure?
Part of it was from talking
to the other councillors and I
managed to get to about four
council meetings before the
elections and I went to a number
of committee meetings as well.
It was mainly to get my head
around things but also it is
much easier when you can get
a hold of the agenda’s and read
through the reports. The last
couple of full council meetings
were very helpful because they
went through things like the
annual report that had a lot of
condensed information about
different sections of the council
and how they work so that was
great. As far as process and stuff
goes, I used to be a principal PA
and I was also board secretary
as part of that. It’s not as big
as the council but it has very
similar standing orders, meeting
structure and things like that.
Preparing for the celebratory season
IT’S STARTING to look a bit
like Christmas
It was a busy weekend at our
place over the weekend, ushering
in Christmas month.
This time of year is also the
start of kids’ birthday season for
us, thanks to Vittoria being a
January baby.
Our first was on Saturday and
Vittoria was her typical vivacious
self, running about and munching
on birthday treats.
She even managed to borrow
another friend’s wooden bike as
we were leaving – I mean convincing
a toddler to give up a toy
when you have your arms full is
a tall order.
Later that night, Vittoria’s
godfather Codey arrived from
Australia for a lightning fast
whānau visit and stayed with us
for the night.
Vittoria was fast asleep by the
time he arrived so I waited until
later in the morning to take her
into the room and see him/shock
him awake in petty retaliation
for not doing the dishes when we
were flatmates.
I had thought finding a grown
man asleep in her room might
have surprised her at least a
little, but as soon as she saw it
was Codey she just lit up and
was happy to giggle and babble
away to him.
VITTORIA
& Matt
Watching the two of them
together while he was at our
place was awesome. She hasn’t
seen her godfather since her first
birthday, but she was straight
back into playing with him like it
had only been a day or two.
The top game of the morning?
Riding the borrowed bike
through Codey’s legs, hunting
him down if he wanted to stop
playing and eat.
As Codey had family commitments
for the afternoon, and it
was December 1, we decided the
best use of it would be to run the
gauntlet of building the Christmas
tree with a toddler about.
With the fairly minimum cost
of the destruction of the majority
of our collection of little drum
ornaments, we managed to get
it together in just over an hour.
It’s now sat tantalisingly out of
tackle range, but not entirely out
of reach, on a set of drawers.
The fact that I can’t see Laura
through it if we’re watching TV
is more likely to see it moved
than any Vittoria-based issues.
Which is way better than I
expected.
Having said that, there’s still
plenty of month to go until it’ll
come down, so, wish me luck.

Selwyn School oF Dance
Gold Coast Bound
In January 2020, The Selwyn School of Dance is sending a team of 23 girls
to the Evolution Dance Competition at the Royal Pines Resort in the Gold
Coast. They will compete against the best from across New Zealand and
Australia. The team qualified for finals at the regional competition held here in
Christchurch, with some amazing results!
our Mission: To support a student’s passion and dedication for dance,
to foster the development of creative innovation and artistic expression.
The Selwyn School of Dance is committed to offering the highest calibre
of education to the dance experience.

top three for Ballet, Lyrical and Contemporary. Our current team of 23 girls hope
to continue to build on these achievements and our younger dancers will gain
experience on an international stage. The dancers along with their teachers
have put countless hours preparing for the competition.
Fundraising has been underway for the past three months to assist them in
reducing the cost of travel, costuming and accommodation for the dancers.
Multiple fundraising events have included a quiz night, a car wash organised
by the Dads, plant sales, Rolleston Fireworks Night, raffles, sausage sizzles
and a fashion show! The team is also supported by The Selwyn District Council
through a grant.
Our dancers would like to acknowledge the support of our local community and
thank them for the many donations. We would also like to thank the business’
who have offered individual sponsorship.

Think water sense
this summer
Summer is here, and it’s time to start thinking about conserving water so we can all keep enjoying
a reliable water service through the hotter and drier months.
Through good planning and investment in our water supplies, the Council is in a good position
to meet increased water demand during summer, and there is no immediate need for mandatory
water restrictions. However, if demand for water increases over summer then water restrictions
may be introduced requiring households to avoid watering lawns at specific times, Council
Infrastructure Group Manager Murray Washington says.
“Water supplies are often placed under pressure during summer as many people decide to water
their lawns and gardens at the same time. So, we’re encouraging people to think about their water
use. If everyone plays their part we should be able to avoid restrictions and provide water at a
good pressure all summer long.”
To help this happen, the Council is recommending that people limit garden and lawn watering to
after 9pm, to keep it away from peak usage times and ensure the sun doesn’t quickly evaporate
the used water. If you are considering watering your lawn during the day, it is best to check the
conditions and make sure that it won’t be too hot or windy when you do it, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the water use.
Tips for managing your water use:
· Water your garden and lawn every few days rather than every day.
· Water for shorter periods, for example, setting your system to run for three five-minute intervals
over a couple of hours lets the soil absorb more water than watering for 15 minutes continuously
· Use a watering can or hose
· Check hoses or taps for leaks and make sure sprinklers are watering the plants not the driveway,
footpath or buildings.
When to water your lawn
Don’t irrigate
Between 6–9am or 4–9pm daily.
Check weather conditions
before watering
While there are no water restrictions at this
time, we recommend you check weather
conditions before watering. Watering your
lawn during the middle of the day during hot
days, or when a nor’ west is blowing results
in a lot of water evaporating and watering
in these conditions is not recommended.
Watering on a cooler, overcast day is a better
option as this provides the best opportunity
for water to soak into your lawn or garden.
Irrigate wisely

More than a decade of success
with dogs
Almost 150 dogs will be spending their golden years in Selwyn
this year.
In Selwyn, dogs that are 14 years or older and have been registered
with the Council on time for 10 years are eligible for Gold Tag status
and don’t have to pay annual registration fees.
This year 149 dogs received their Gold Tag status. They are among
the 14,045 dogs registered with the Council for the 2019/20 year.
It’s the eleventh year in a row that the Council has achieved 100%
re-registration and the fastest the target has been achieved.
The Gold Tag policy was brought in five years ago as a way to
recognise good ownership, and part of the Council Animal Control
team’s work to support owners, Senior Animal Control Officer Steve
Clarke says.
Most dog owners in Selwyn are responsible and take good care of
their dogs, and the Council makes an effort to work with people to
help get all dogs registered, Steve says.
“People out here are pretty good, they love their dogs. We do have
the power to seize a dog, but we haven’t had to do that for a few
years. It’s education over enforcement.”
The comparatively low registration fee of $40 if people register early,
and an easy online system to register and receive reminders also
helps, he says.
Fees collected from registration help fund the Council’s dog control
operation, which operates 24/7. It includes community education, the
‘Dog Smart’ education programme provided in schools, enforcement
activities, operating the dog pound and providing free microchipping
for the district’s dogs.
To sign up for notifications and online registration, visit
selwyn.govt.nz/dogs, email dogrego@selwyn.govt.nz, or phone
the Council on 347 2800.
A surprising move to Selwyn
Continuing our series celebrating the Faces of Selwyn. Visit selwyn.
govt.nz/facesofselwyn for the full story.
When Adam Thomas first looked at a property in Rolleston 25 years
ago it wasn’t the first choice of places to live.
“When I told my wife Jane I’d found a nice house on a nice bit of land
near Rolleston, she said ‘It would have to be nice to move to Rolleston’.
It was a few houses, a fish and chip shop, and a prison back then.”
Adam, who was raised in Selwyn, says the area suited them when
they began looking for a rural property and worked well as the town
began growing with their family, giving the children an outdoor
lifestyle with links to town.
“The first subdivision started after we moved in. Rolleston was
starting to grow and it was an exciting place to be. It was a friendly
community. Still is, but you don’t bump into so many familiar faces
in the shops as you used to. When our eldest started in 2000 at
Rolleston Primary School there was about 180 pupils. When the
youngest left in 2011 there was 800 and it wasn’t the only school.”
Jane, a Library Assistant at the Christchurch College of Education
and later at Lincoln Library, ran a ‘music for tots’ group for parents
with preschoolers, and was on the Parent Teacher Association at
Rolleston Primary School.
Adam worked in Lincoln, at Landcare Research and at AgResearch.
He has been a member of the Lincoln Badminton Club since his
teens, was on the board of trustees at Rolleston Primary School and
a member of the now disbanded Rotoract Club for younger people to
be engaged socially and in community work.
After 25 years they’re glad they made the shift.
“We both like being out of the city. We enjoy visiting the city, but
prefer to live with a bit of space around us. We know the area and
Rolleston still works for us. We certainly wouldn’t change anything
now. It worked out well.”
Are you looking to host a Christmas or New Year’s
get together with your neighbours?
Here in Selwyn we encourage you to organise your own local street gathering so you can get to know
your neighbours. The Council currently has funding available and is offering a subsidy of up to $75 per
street gathering through our Meet Your Street fund (conditions apply). For more information or to apply

STEADY THE SHIP: Sam Chamberlain, seen here playing against Cheviot last month, scored
an unbeaten 47 to help Leeston-Southbridge to a five-wicket win over Weedons in Canterbury
Country premier twenty20 cricket on Saturday.

Weedons stumble in
tough conditions
• By Jacob Page
WEEDONS HAD a tough
second weekend of Canterbury
Country premier twenty20
cricket on Saturday.
With all matches being played
in blustery, and initially damp,
conditions at Mandeville Sports
Grounds, bowling became
increasingly difficult as the day
went on for all teams.
After winning their opening
two games a fortnight ago,
Weedons lost to an understrength
Leeston-Southbridge
by five wickets and then lost to a
surging Oxford by six wickets.
Weedons’ stand-in captain,
Charlie Robson said his toporder
made starts in both games
but failed to make the most of it.
“We had four or five guys all
make starts but then they got
out.
“We started the day batting
in a bit of rain which changed
the pitch conditions but we still
should have done better.
“We have to try to do better at
the crease and give our bowlers
more runs to play with because
we are capable of doing better
and have shown that when we
score runs we can compete,” he
said.
Leeston-Southbridge were able
to chase down their 105-run
target against Weedons thanks
to an unbeaten 47 from Sam
Chamberlain.
Leeston-Southbridge captain
Toby Doyle said his bowlers kept
a tight line against Weedons and
really restricted the scoring opportunities.
“I thought we kept our discipline
and made them work for
our runs and then got the nice
contribution from Sam to get us
home,” he said.
It was Oxford second win of
the day after they had beaten
Lincoln by 36 runs in their
opening contest.
Lincoln did bounce back to
beat Leeston-Southbridge by
113-runs in their second match
thanks to 60 from Arthur Paterson
and 50 from opener Joe
Williams.
Paterson then took four for 12
with the ball as Lincoln easily
defended 172 by bowling the
defending champions out for
just 59.
Darfield had a win and a loss
in their two games, beating
Southbrook by 11 runs after
defending 124 but they were
comfortably beaten by Sefton by
60 runs in game two.
Round eight of the 45-over
competition will conclude
the pre-Christmas action on
Saturday with competition
leaders Leeston-Southbridge
travelling to play Lincoln,
Southbrook will host Weedons,
Darfield welcome Sefton and
Oxford will travel to Cheviot.
Rain frustrates
Canty Country in
Hawke Cup clash
• By Jacob Page
RAIN HAS made Canterbury
Country’s quest for a Hawke
Cup challenge later this
summer that much tougher
after it all but washed away
their opening qualifying game
against Buller in Westport.
Just 46 overs were possible
on Saturday with Country
progressing to 198 for three
on the back of Ben Hartland’s
unbeaten 115.
However, no play was possible
on day two which means the
points were shared.
Country would have been
hoping for at least a first innings
victory to kick-start their
campaign after they beat Buller
outright in convincing fashion
last season.
Canterbury Country coach
Michael Sharpe said his team
had hoped to win the toss and
bowl so they could try to use
their strong bowling attack
to dictate the game with wet
weather looming.
When that did not happen,
they chose to bat positively and
then declare early on day two.
“The weather won-out and
there was always the potential
of that,” he said.
“I thought Ben Hartland’s
shot selection throughout his
innings was excellent and all the
batsmen tried to be positive.
“We were hoping we would
get a chance to bowl at them but
it was not to be.
“It means two first innings
wins are crucial for us against
Nelson and Marlborough.
Canterbury Country’s next
Hawke Cup encounter will be at
Mainpower Oval against Nelson
on December 21 and 22.
Sharpe said no decision
would be made on which, if any,
of the Canterbury representative
players may be available for
the game against Nelson.
“Fortunately, we have good
depth this year so hopefully
we will be in a good position
regardless of who is available,”
Sharpe said.
TOP KNOCK: Ben Hartland’s 115 wasn’t enough to help
Canterbury Country beat Buller after rain meant both teams
shared the points in their Hawke Cup contest in Westport
over the weekend.

Garden expo
draws the
crowds in
West Melton
The West Melton community was
treated to an entertaining garden-themed
afternoon when the West Melton Garden
Club hosted the first Selwyn Garden Expo
on Sunday, December 1.
Held at the recently completed West
Melton Community Centre, the expo
aimed to showcase the Selwyn and nearby
areas, promote gardening, and bring the
community together.
Hats, paintings, calendars, sculptures,
tools, landscaping, plants and garden
supplies were among the range of products
eagerly snapped up at the 45 stalls, while
the three demonstrations – Southern
Woods: tool maintenance and care, Joany
McNeill: floral demonstration and Magic
Moss: Kokodama balls & living vases,
attracted plenty of interest from the crowd.
Keynote speaker was author and former
editor of NZ Gardener, Lynda Hallinan.
The inclusion of specialty foods, and a
few things other than strictly gardening
added variety, says the garden club’s
president Anne Finch.
“With approximately 530 people
attending the expo, the community centre
was buzzing, both inside and outside, with
enthusiastic and happy people checking
out the stalls, purchasing the beautifully
presented goods, enjoying afternoon tea in
the ‘café’ run by our garden club, listening
to the music in the background, taking
in new information and of course having

a good laugh with our main speaker,
Lynda Hallinan,” Anne says.
“Organising the event was a ‘first’ for
the 10 committee members. We have
learnt so much along the way, found
so many new ventures in the local and
nearby areas, made new friends, and had a
lot of fun. The end result has left us feeling
thrilled with the results, and the very
positive feedback from both attendees
and stallholders, who described it as ‘very
well-organised, and ‘such a fun afternoon’.
“We owe a huge thanks to all our
supporters, whom we could not have done
without, and we sincerely hope they all
had a successful and fun day too.”

West Melton remain
unbeaten in Country tennis
• By Jacob Page
WEST MELTON
continued their unbeaten
run in Country premier
tennis by easily beating Tai
Tapu 13 matches to three
on Saturday,
Tai Tapu had been
expected to put up a better
showing but West Melton’s
men’s singles players in
particular, were ruthlessly
efficient.
Rolleston Killinchy accounted
for a struggling
Fernside by the same
13-3 match scoreline at
Rolleston while Kirwee-
Springston beat Prebbleton-Lincoln
by 10 matches
to six at Lincoln.
Ellesmere Tennis president
Jason McKenzie said
the West Melton foursome

Brosnahan, Max Aldridge
and Blake Cullen all but
ended the contest when
they won the first four
singles contests at West
Melton.
“Luke has been one of
the most consistent players
this year and he is competing
at the national 16s
tournament in Auckland
this week which will be
good for him.
“Blake Cullen is another

ROLLESTON Primary
School’s Lucia Gale
has impressed at the
New Zealand junior
tennis championships
at the Scabro Centre in
Auckland.
The Cashmere club
player was competing in
the 12s age-group. Lucia
and her Auckland-based
partner Jamie Mackenzie
won the mixed doubles in
convincing fashion.
The top-seeded duo
dropped just two games
in their three matches and
won the final 4-0, 4-0 in
37min against No 2 seeds
Max Richardson and
Chelsea Wijntjes.
She made it to the semifinals
of the singles where
she lost to Mahinarangi
Warren 4-6,-3-6 but she
did bounce back to win
the play-off for third by
beating Chelsea once
again, 6-3, 6-0.
Lucia then teamed with
clubmate Ruby McPhail
in the doubles and lost a
tough semi-final against
Chelsea and her partner
Xin Xin Zhu 6-3, 4-6, 7-10.
Her coach James Meredith
said he was thrilled
with the results and he
hoped with another year

who is a real up-and-comer,”
he said.
“Fernside are struggling
for depth this year but they
keep fielding a team each
team each week.’’
Rolleston-Killinchy’s No
1 Nathan McKenzie won
both his singles, double
and mixed doubles ties, as
did No 2 Ben Michael.
Lucia Gale impresses
at junior nationals
STAR: Rolleston Primary School’s Lucia Gale won a
national mixed doubles title and earned two semifinal
places at the national junior championships in
Auckland last week.
Jason McKenzie said
Kirwee-Springston’s doubles
specialist Dave Ashton
made a big difference in
their win over Prebbleton-
Lincoln.
The fourth and final
week of matches before
Christmas will see Tai

in the age-group in 2020,
she would be able to push
for the title.
“She is quite slight, so
some of the older girls are
able to control the points
by being more physical
and using more spin,” he
said.
“As she grows, we’ll keep
working on it and try to
build her serve up as well
because there are a few too
many double-faults for my
liking but that’s quite common
at this grade.”
Lucia will now represent
New Zealand at the Tennis
Australia nationals in
Melbourne which start
today. It will be her fourth
time representing New
Zealand overseas in 2019.
“It’s a good chance
for Lucia to test herself
against international
opposition and try to improve
her all-round game
ahead of a busy summer,”
he said.

Come and see Santa in Prebbleton
Christmas is not just about receiving but
also giving and helping those in need.
This year the Prebbleton Cottage will
be transformed into Santa’s House.
Bring the kids along to meet Santa and
his friends, and help Santa to get lots
of goodies together for City Mission.
Each year the need grows for many
families, and as Christmas draws closer
City Mission is struggling to keep up
with demands. City Mission is especially
asking for things like canned food,
pasta, cereals, biscuits and toiletries.
So come down to the Prebbleton
Cottage on the corner of Blakes and
Springs Road, Friday 13 and Saturday
14 December between 4:30-7:30pm.
Let the children experience the
wonder of Christmas and help them
understand that Christmas is just as
much about giving as well as receiving.

LINCOLN CHRISTMAS
PARADE & MARKET
Sat
14TH
Dec
SELWYN TIMES
Santa is coming to
This year’s Lincoln Christmas Parade
and Market held on Saturday 14
December is expected to be bigger and
better than ever before. The popular event
promises to attract thousands of visitors
to the township, and along with the
growing population, it will likely be the
busiest day of the year in Lincoln.
Markets galore
The day kicks off with the market in full
swing by 9 am with stalls stretching along
the main street from The Famous Grouse
to The Laboratory. The main street is
closed for the event so there will be plenty
of space to explore the stalls with many
food options also available for
snacks and drinks
until the parade clears the street at 10.30
am.
The Lincoln Farmers and Craft Market
will also be in its normal location next
to the Lincoln library, spilling out onto
the green behind, so get in early for
your Christmas presents from the wide
variety available to choose from such as
handmade arts and crafts, plants for the
garden, treats for Christmas day, and
much more. The Lincoln Rotary Club
and the Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade
will also be there running raffles and
interacting with the crowds.
Entertainment for everyone
The atmosphere will be buzzing with
the Ellesmere Big Band playing from 9.30
am until 12.15 pm outside
the Lincoln Japanese Sushi
Bar. Music in the parade will
include the Woolston Junior
Brass Band, the Ellesmere
Highland Pipe
Band, whilst the
Woolston Concert
Brass Band will perform at 11.30 am on
the green behind the library.
The popular decorated bikes
competition will be held under the oak
tree next to the Library—be there by
9.45am for judging at 10am followed by
all bikes joining the parade. This year the
junior buskers’ competition ‘Lincoln’s
Got Talent’ will be held next to the Fish
& Chip Shop and to keep the kids happy
throughout the event the bouncy castle
will be set up on the grass behind the
Laboratory. Crazy clown Adam Allsorts
will also be entertaining the kids on
Adam’s crazy bike and giving away animal
balloons around the town from 10am till
12 noon.
Look out for Santa and your
friends
The Lincoln Christmas Parade is one
that you can get up close and personal
with and wave to the people you know
Wishing you
a wonderful
festive season.

Forget about
weeds
– plant
without fuss
GARDENING IN pots is a
spectacularly rewarding and low
labour hobby.
Instead of battling the
elements, treating tired old
soil, weeding and digging
frantically, you simply tip the
prepared perfect potting mix
into the container, follow it up
with the plants, water and
wait.
It’s hard to go wrong. You just
move the pot around until you’ve
found the perfect sunny or shady
spot, without disturbing the
root system, because a container
garden is portable.
You can move it about
your home, patio or garden to
fill bare spots at any time of
year.
And best of all, when you
move house, you don’t have to
leave your cherished garden
behind – they all shift with the
furniture.
Furthermore, container
gardens look great anywhere.
Spruce up your deck area with
WHETHER YOU’RE going away
or staying put, the prospect of
watering the garden – container
plants in particular – can put a
real dampener on your summer.
The easy answer would be to
just put all container plants into
the garden and be done with the
fussing.
However, there’s no denying
that a few well-chosen container
plants bring a decorative flourish
to bland deserts of paving and
deck.
They are invaluable, too, for
standing like bouncers beside
entrances or enhancing the end
of some clever vista you have
carved out of your plot.
However, as plant
accommodation, rather than
providing a luxury getaway, pots
and containers are more like a
prison sentence, with water and
food limited and excess sun and
wind in exposed locations.
This means you need to be
cunning with your compost and
a wizard with your choice of
green matter.
Why is it that weeds can abseil
their way into a pot and look
so healthy while the plant you
intended to shine on its glazed
pedestal looks anaemic and
spindly?
It’s because most of us are
unrealistic about the level of
maintenance we will need to
lavish on our charges.
It’s tempting to go for
multi-coloured pot plants
but such high-octane
performance demands the
pampering of a movie star –
weekly deadheading and feeding
and almost daily watering, so
it’s really only for the keenest
enthusiast.
Spring bulbs are another
classic disaster area – irresistible
when we see the pictures at the
garden centre but a disaster a
fortnight after the party is over
when we fail to follow up after
the leaves and flowers at the start
of the year have flopped and
faded.

classy bit of earthenware. Later,
out they go to make way for a
more permanent successor. It is
a mistake to assume special new
plants somehow deserve a prime
spot in a container right outside
the Ranchsliders.
Plant them in the ground
where they will get their roots
down and draw deep for summer
moisture instead. And if you
want to see them go out in to the

container plants
If your soil is heavy, spend some
effort planting them on mounds
and improve soil structure with
plenty of grit and compost.
The most successful pot plants
are tried and tested toughies that
will survive on neglect. Essentials
include succulents, flaxes, native
xeronema and epiphytic plants,
which are used to hanging out like
a shoestring.
Epiphytes include spiky astelias
as well as other native foliage
plants such as Griselinia lucida
and pseudopanax – both of which
are amazingly drought-tolerant.
Don’t mingle too many specimens
in one confined space
because fights are bound to break
out. Instead, give each its own
home but herd pots together to
create communities of contrasting
forms and textures.
As with your wardrobe there will
always be the classics that never go
out of fashion and which form the
backbone of your collection. Succulents
are foolproof.
Choose the dramatic ones such
as aloes and softer euphorbias
or those which are able to bungy
over the sides of even the tallest of
drums.
One such is Sedum morganianum
with its waxy grey dreadlocks.
Neat topiary balls, cones and
HARDY: The most successful
pot plants are those that
survive on neglect.
humps, whether it be box or native
coprosma and corokia, have
minimal water requirements, but
don’t discount conifers which are
surprisingly drought-tolerant.
Bromeliads never outgrow
their place in a pot if sited
sensitively.
What is trending for 2020
FASHIONS COME and go, and
changes in climate and lifestyle
influence our gardens just as
they affect other parts of life.
So it’s fun to try and predict
the outdoor trends for this year.
Here are some suggestions:
•Organics will rule. The trend
to organics will accelerate and
most gardeners will be looking
for natural-based fertilisers
and low toxic pest controls.
Fortunately, organic products
have become mainstream
so that gardeners no longer
have to lug home leaking bags
of manure purchased at the
farm gate. Neat packets of
pellets are the modern day
equivalent. Pellets have all the
organic credentials of farm
gate manures, but they’re much
easier to handle and distribute.
The manure’s also been
composted to remove harmful
pathogens.
•Food plants are in. It’s
everyone’s ambition to have
a vegetable garden, but time
constraints often get in the way.
However, even the smallest
garden can find room for a herb
pot. Choose a shallow container
and a quality potting mix.
DUAL PURPOSE: A pond
with a fountain will also
double as a bird bath.
Beginners can start their herb
garden with a pot of chives.
They’re probably the easiest
herbs to grow, and they tolerate
a fair amount of neglect.
•Edible gardens are in but
in smaller spaces. Dwarf fruit
trees in fashionable containers,
and small-growing vegetable
varieties are popular even for
larger gardens. Yates has found
that sales of seeds for compact
veges such as dwarf beans,
silverbeet and mini tomatoes
are increasing.
•Flowers in the garden will
hit the comeback trail. Strappyleafed
plants and foliage plants
will still be in favour but their
dominance will start to fade.
A nostalgic hankering for
flowering plants is beginning
to surface. Plants that straddle
both categories (daylilies, dwarf
agapanthus and Tulbaghia,
also called society garlic, are
good examples) will lead this
resurgence.
•Water (or lack of it) will be
one of the biggest gardening
challenges. Look out for plants
that survive in schools, parks
and old houses. Cistus (rock
rose), Indian hawthorn and the
native mirror plants (Coprosma
spp) are some of these tough
survivors. Water features,
because of their cooling effect,
will be found in just about every
garden. Examples will range
from small, simple water bowls
to elaborate, Italian-inspired
fountains.

Red wines to enjoy in the warm weather
• By Mark Henderson
FOR RED wine lovers pinot noir
can be the ticket to happiness on
hot days.
Drunk cool, not cold, their
wonderful fragrance and lighter
frame can be exhilarating rather
than exhausting.
2017 Villa Maria Platinum
Selection Organic
Marlborough Pinot Noir
Price: $29.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Bright and juicy nose, dusty
smoky notes, tar, lead pencil and
savoury nuances. Savoury notes
continue on the stony minerally
palate with juicy, tangy red
berryfruit. A refreshing vein of
coolness runs through this. Time
sees the stony, grainy tannic
backbone become more evident
with a tangy sweet ‘n’ sour note
on the nose.
Better with food for now.
www.villamariawines.com
2017 Tohu Whenua Awa
Single Vineyard Awatere
Valley Pinot Noir
Price: $41.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Bolder, darker fruits and bonfire
embers: red fruit fragrance
and savoury notes evolve with
time. Powerful in the mouth,
depth and concentration mixing
savoury characters with
a saline hint. The fruit sways
across the plum, blueberry and
cherry spectrum with spice and
oak notes in support. Relatively
grippy tannins for now.
A powerfully rendered style
that shows potential.
www.tohuwines.co.nz
2017 Tohu Whenua Matua
Single Vineyard Upper
Moutere Pinot Noir
Price: $34.99
Rating: Excellent
An alluring perfume leads
the nose, followed by dried
strawberry, spice and savoury
elements. Silky entry before the
tannins flood in: the strawberry
and red cherry fruit dancing
on the palate. There’s a playful,
juicy crunchiness, a little hint of
stalk/herbs, while the structure is
there without intruding.
A delightfully long finish, the
flavours hang in the mouth.
www.tohuwines.co.nz
2017 Craggy Range Aroha
Te Muna Pinot Noir
Price: $150
Rating: Excellent to outstanding
Leads with stewed fruit/
rhubarb before a wonderful
perfumed florality develops
and grows. A sweet fruit core,
wrapped in some whole bunch
stalk notes, wild herbs and
savoury influences. Brightness
from the acidity, underlying
chewiness from the tannins yet
increasing silkiness as it opens
up. Flows to a marvellously long
fruit and savoury-filled finish.
Superb potential.
www.craggyrange.com
2017 Vergence Red by
Pegasus Bay
Price: $40
Rating: Very good to excellent
Opaque, dark colour. Brooding
nose of pencil lead & bramble,
evolving to fragrant dried herbs
with a sweet fruited underlay.
Powerful and sweetly fruited
palate with plum, liqueur fruits
with a delightful dried herb note
hanging on the finish. Pinot on
steroids with chewy tannins: lots
of ingredient here.
Maybe not for pinot classicists
yet fascinatingly different.
www.pegasusbay.com
2018 Sacred Hill Single
Vineyard Marlborough
Pinot Noir
Price: $27.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Fragrant nose with strawberry
and fruit yoghurt influences. The
pale colour belies the surprising
palate weight, continuing
the pattern of the nose, adding
wild herbs and a sweet ‘n’ sour
tanginess. This builds in weight
with aeration, adding structure,
the sweet fruit flowing to a little
warm glow on the close.
Crowd pleasing and very easy
drinking.
www.sacredhill.com
2018 Jules Taylor
Marlborough Pinot Noir
Price: $34.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Bold and bright nose with
ripe (almost liqueur) fruits, wets
stone and dustiness, shifting
to rhubarb. A cherry fruit core
allied to chalkiness and stony
minerality.
Playful and exuberant, with
appealing vivacity, and while
the underlying structure builds
and tightens, it is likely to be at
its best drunk youthfully, paired
with appropriate food.
www.julestaylor.com
2015 Riverby Estate
Reserve Marlborough Pinot
Noir
Price: $35
Rating: Excellent
Subtle yet attractively
perfumed with oak spices, pencil
shavings, dried cranberry and
tangy nuances. The palate is
open and fleshy, mixing cooler
cranberry & currants with darker
fruit notes along with lavender
and dried herbs. Nice balance, a
juicy brightness and refreshing
salivatory aspect to the close.
Heaps of enjoyment, gorgeous
now.

Plenty of kudos for Holden’s big Acadia
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
HOLDEN’S ACADIA didn’t win
the 2019 New Zealand Motoring
Writers’ Guild car of the year
award. That trophy went to
Jaguar’s fully electric I-Pace.
Nevertheless, Holden New Zealand
and General Motors should
be buoyed that its big seven-seat
sport utility vehicle was a finalist.
It went up against some pretty
tough competition – three electric
cars and other notables.
Collectively, I don’t know
where Acadia finished in the
standings but it certainly scored
well in my own personal tally of
points for the COTY.
The big United States built
SUV is doesn’t have a lot of
competition here, sure Toyota’s
Highlander and Jeep Grand
Cherokee are well established but
the Acadia has presence, it is bold
and captures imagination with its
styling that is just a little out of
the mainstream.
The Acadia comes out of the
GMC stable, GMC is an off-shoot
of the giant General Motors conglomerate
that focuses primarily
on trucks and pick-ups. However,
the Acadia distances itself
from the ute market, it is built
on a sophisticated monocoque
floorpan with fully independent
suspension.
HOLDEN ACADIA LTZ-V: Four-wheel-drive provides
substantial cross-country ability.
Under the bonnet sits a 3.6-litre
V6 petrol engine which is rated
at 231kW and 367Nm, these
healthy outputs are realised tall
in the rev band at 6600rpm and
5000rpm respectively. If you
think these figures look familiar,
it’s pretty much the same power
plant that is fitted to the rangetopping
ZB-series Commodore.
The Acadia also gets the same
transmission, it’s a nine-speed
unit that is characterised by
smooth shifts and ratios which
ease the load on the engine so
that respectable fuel economy can
be gleaned.
Because of its size, and weight
(2032kg), the Acadia needs as
much benefit in this department
as it can get. Holden rate it with
a 9.3-litre per 100km (30mpg)
combined cycle rating. By my
reckoning that’s achievable, the
test car was constantly listing
around 10.8l/100km (26mpg),
taking into consideration I did
a lot of around the city driving
which is never conducive to good
economy results.
On the highway the engine
lopes over gently at 1500rpm
at 100km/h in top gear, using
fuel at an instantaneous rate of
7.8l/100km (36mpg).
The Acadia is also a useful offthe-seal
traveller. It lands in both
two-wheel-drive and four-wheeldrive
variants. The test car was the
top spec – LTZ-V, and although
the driveline won’t get to places a
low ratio set-up will take you, the
mechanicals are perfect for low
grip situations such as the skifield
access road, tackling the tracks
leading into those high country
lakes, or taking the boat to the
slipway. For the record, the Acadia
has a 2000kg tow rating and a
203mm ground clearance figure.
It also travels with compliant
suspension travel. Unlike US
vehicles of the past which have
been quite soft in the suspension,
the Acadia’s spring and damper
rates are definitely biased towards
moderate firming, yet comfort
isn’t compromised.
Pushed into a corner there is
just enough steering feel thanks
to beautiful Continental sport
tyres, and they are big at 235/55
x 20in. There is a lot of rubber
on the road and that promotes a
secure feeling of attachment.
Power out of a corner is vivid.
The quad-camshaft engine is a
howler, it works through the rev
band freely but you don’t have
to have it singing to the red line
to get performance, the torque
curve is just broad enough so that
it utilises the mid-range.
However, if you like to have it
breathing freely for a highway
overtake for example, it hunts to
the red line willingly, there was
never a point where I thought the
wrong gear was selected, the way
it arranges those nine ratios is
very clever. On the subject of performance,
the Acadia buyer can
expect a standstill to 100km/h
time of around 7.8sec.
• Price – Holden Acadia
LTZ-V, $71,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4979mm; width, 1916mm;
height, 1762mm
• Configuration – V6,
four-wheel-drive, 3649cc,
231kW, 367Nm, nine-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.8sec
• Fuel usage – 9.3l/100km
As mentioned, the Acadia
lands here in three specification
levels, each with the option of
four-wheel-drive. The entry-level
model lands at $49,990, while the
test car with its high grade trim
and 4WD sits at $71,990. For
that money it is comprehensively
equipped – and you’d expect
nothing less. It is very American
in the way it is trimmed and
it does get all the latest safety
technology that comes out of the
General Motors’ stable.
The Acadia makes no pretense
that it is genuinely American,
its styling is designed to capture
attention, and the luxury feel
inside takes me back to the best
vehicles that have come out of the
States in terms of build quality
and comfort.
However, the Acadia also gets
the benefit of the down under
input. Prior to its release here it
was tested vigorously across the
Tasman for our market. That
development shows, it is an
involving, spirited car that feels
very good to be in.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Replacing a roof
Roofs get the brunt of the weather so it is
not surprising they become tired. Nails wear
loose and the iron or tiles start to fade and
become patchy.
The decision to repair or replace a roof
which has deteriorated, depends on its
condition and also the budget. Replacing
nails and repainting the iron may be
sufficient. When a tiled roof, it can be a little
more involved.
Steve and Lyn’s orange metal tiled roof was
mossy, with damaged and dented tiles and
loose nails. They looked at the long-term
benefits of repainting compared to replacing
the roof. The latter option seemed more
time consuming with safety scaffolding still
needed and the roof cleaned and sealed for
moss before repainting, at a cost of $10,000-
$15,000. The expected life of the repainted
roof, approximately 10-15 years before more
maintenance would be required.
“We wanted a black roof to match the
window joinery. Repainting in a dark colour
would have highlighted any existing tile
damage. We also plan to install solar power
panels in the future so decided to reroof,”
explains Lyn.
Quotes for reroofing were sourced from
several companies with considerable
variance in the final price and calibre of each
quote. The highest quote only itemised what
was not included, failing to list details such
as roof pitch, amount of iron and timber
required, or whether the hire of scaffolding
was included. When refinancing to cover
a renovation, a bank is likely to request
detailed quotes.
The firm Lyn and Steve chose detailed
what was included, gave a timeframe and an
early start date (dependent on the weather).
Extras like the hire of edge protection
scaffolding (a legal requirement for people
working above a certain height) and the
removal and dumping the old iron and
timber were stated. Some spouting and
roof purloins were replaced before building
paper was laid and the new colour steel
corrugated iron fixed.
“Three or four workers were on the job
each day. They cleaned up as they went,
walking around the house picking up nails
and taking the rubbish away. I work from
home so they would tell me where on the
roof they’d be working each day, allowing
me to find a quiet spot away from the noise.
They even took photos of the new roof and
work undertaken for us to send to Council
to be kept on file,” says Lyn.
“They were efficient, safety conscious,
considerate and thorough. It was a quick
experience from the time we decided
to go ahead to completion. We’d highly
recommend them,” adds Steve.
Steve and Lyn are rapt with the final look
of their roof. The new colour steel roof is
modern, adding value to the house. They say
it also seems warmer and quieter.
Before deciding whether to repaint or
reroof, weigh up the options, source a
number of quotes and compare the details
provided then make a decision. Also look at
new houses to get ideas for colour schemes.
