given fire
prevention
message
• By Devon Bolger
LIFESTYLE BLOCK owners
have got the message how to help
prevent fires becoming out of
control blazes in the district.
Just over 200 people attended
a meeting in West Melton on
Saturday to brief them on the
dangers as the district continues
to dry out.
Said Fire and Emergency New
Zealand fire risk management officer
Kerri Pring: “We had a lot of
engagement from the community.
They asked some great questions
about how to keep themselves
safe, so it was really good.”
She said it was a great success.
Another meeting is now planned
for lifestyle block owners in the
Lincoln/Tai Tapu area and North
Canterbury.
Fire chiefs are wanting to educate
lifestyle block owners in the
district on how quickly fires can
get out of control.
The fire risk in parts of the
district is rated as high.

LIFESTYLE BLOCK owners look like
they are taking the fire risk in the district
seriously (see page 1).
More than 200 people attended a meeting
at the weekend organised by fire chiefs,
police and Civil Defence.
It was aimed at telling lifestyle block owners – particularly
those new to the district and those who come from an urban
background – how quickly fire can get out of control.
More importantly, they were told how they can help stop fires
from becoming major problems.
When the big nor’westers come next month there will be the
usual serious issues for firefighters.
Remember the big blaze a few years ago, when large areas of
Prebbleton and Lincoln were threatened?
Time to be careful.

Rolleston brigade
third busiest volunteer station
• By Devon Bolger
ROLLESTON firefighters were
amongst the busiest volunteer
brigades in New Zealand last
year.
The brigade attended 562 callouts
during 2019, with medical
incidents being the most common
with 194.
Chief fire
officer Cam Kenyon
said there
were two reasons
for why they
were busy.
“The first one
is because of Cam Kenyon
where we are. If
you look at Rolleston we are in
the middle of a whole lot of other
brigades so we do back them up
quite often,” he said.
Rolleston was ranked third
busiest volunteer station in New
Zealand behind the Silverdale
and Pukekohe brigades in Auckland.
The rankings by Fire and
Emergency New Zealand are
based on the number of call-outs
in the station’s area, the total
appliance call-outs and total
incidents they have responded to.

RECOGNITION: The Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade has been
named the third busiest volunteer station in the country for the
past year.
call-outs is the number of medical
incidents they respond to, Mr
Kenyon said.
“We are known as a first
responder brigade so we don’t
just go to the cardiac arrests and
things, we do anything an ambulance
would do if there isn’t one
available in the area.”

STORYTIME WITH A
FIREFIGHTER
More than 180 people turned
up to the storytime with a
firefighter events at the Lincoln
and Rolleston libraries. A
spokesman said they were happy
with the amazing turnout. “The
firefighters read, sung, answered
questions and explained to the
kids how to become a firefighter
and how to prevent house fires.”
The kids got to check out the fire
truck as well, which was a huge
hit, he said.
CHLORINATION ENDS
A second precautionary lowdose
chlorine treatment in
the Dunsandel water supply

council decided on a second
treatment after testing showed
some coliforms remain in the
water. The treatments were
precautionary only, and no E.
coli has been detected within the
water supply.

An Environment Canterbury
spokeswoman said the

She said if the commissioners
are satisfied on February 5 they
have everything they need to
make a decision, they may close

the submitters have no idea what
to expect.
“It has been such a long road
but it will give everybody a bit of
certainty of where we are,” she
said.
The hearing will reconvene

West Melton lifestyle block
owner Margaret Langdale-Hunt
said the meeting was very good.
“To get all of the emergency
services there was great. I think
the newcomers to these areas
could do with an update
like this on a regular
basis, quite frankly,” she
said.
Ms Langdale-Hunt said
a number of good points
were discussed at the
meeting.
“Things like when
you’re mowing, you
shouldn’t have your
exhaust too close to the
hedge. Those things are extremely
important.
“The public expect the chopper
to be able to come in and just
fill up anywhere so it was really
good to have that explained that
it can’t. They need a clear space
because of the rotor blades and
things like that,” she said,

after a large scrub fire in Kirwee,
caused by a tractor and mower.

20m patch.
Ms Pring said lifestyle blocks
tend to be more fire dangerous
because of the size and location.
“They are larger properties so
they aren’t in an urban setting.
It’s safer in urban areas because
there are more houses
around and less vegetation,”
she said.
“Lifestyle block
owners generally have
other working jobs
and their property is
a hobby so sometimes
they can’t quite get
around to maintaining
the property by keeping
the grass low and
trimming low hanging branches
and things.”
Lifestyle block owners were told
at the meeting how to prepare
properties for the peak fire season
and what to do in the event of a
fire.
“The district is on the edge of
quite a risky season and if we
continue to stay dry we will end
up that way,” Ms Pring said.
Fire restrictions in the district
started on December 13.

Huge increase in
December property sales
• By Devon Bolger
DECEMBER SAW a big jump in
the number of houses sold in the
district.
Seventy-eight were sold, up
from the 57 sold in December
2018 – a 36.8 per cent increase.
Harcourts

officer
James Twiss
said the high
number of

James Twiss
a slow spring
saw housing
stock levels
increase.
“With plenty of choice, interest
rates low and Christmas
coming, it appears the market
came to life,” he said.
The number of new dwellings
consented in the district was
up 29.4 per cent for the last year
says Statistics New Zealand.
There were 1290 consents
granted compared to the 997
given in 2018.
Mr Twiss said he expects the
strong housing activity to continue
for some time.
STOCK: The Selwyn property market came to life in
December.
“It appears building consent
numbers are still high so I would
expect that to continue which
means the builders will catch up
on the sales at some point.”
They are seeing a lot of first
home buyers looking to get
themselves a property using
their KiwiSaver as a deposit, Mr

Twiss said.
“Rolleston had some very
strong activity over December
on the back of that.”
Ray White Real Estate agent
Brendan (Big Red) Shefford said
December was a terrific month
for them.
“It kept the team working
‘With plenty of choice,
interest rates low and
Christmas coming, it
appears the market came
to life’
– James Twiss
right through the Christmas
and New Year period. Seventyeight
is a lot of houses to be
sold throughout the district for
December.”
They have seen great activity
in the first two weeks of this year
too, he said.
“The market is extremely competitive
between the new construction
and existing homes.”
Mr Shefford said he also does
not see the housing market slowing
anytime soon.
“With the long-awaited southern
motorway extension, Selwyn
will continue to grow.”
The median house price in the
district increased by 1.2 per cent
from November to December.
REINZ figures show it is now
$554,000 compared to $547,260.
That is a 0.2 per cent decrease
from the median house price at
the same time last year.

Weedons
interchange
nearly ready
• By Devon Bolger
THE WEEDONS interchange,
part of the Southern Motorway,
is expected to be completed next
week.
An NZTA spokesman said the
interchange will be fully operational
by late January.
In September, Selwyn Times
revealed the interchange was supposed
to be fully completed a year
earlier.
New Zealand Transport Agency
principal project manager Geoff
Griffiths said it had been hoped
that the interchange would be
open for full use in late-2018.
He said there have been delays
in opening the interchange fully.
“There were a number of factors
contributing to the overall delay,
which were not unexpected on a
project the size of CSM2. Extra
time was required to ensure the
work was completed to the right
specifications and to eliminate the
risk of having to come back later
to do more costly, disruptive and
time-consuming repairs.’’
The overbridge, part of the
interchange, was opened in July.

Up to $100,000 of
goods stolen in break-in
• By Devon Bolger
A JETBOAT and karts are
among the up to $100,000
of items stolen from a
property in Coalgate.
Businessman Allan
Rhodes and his partner
Lisa Bullock are offering a
$5000 reward for information
leading to the conviction
of the offenders and
return of the items.
The items were stolen
from a warehouse they
own in Bridge St.
“We’ve had a lot of
burglaries over the years
but his one is the worst.
They have taken anywhere
between $60,000-$100,000
of stuff,” he said.
•The reward will
be available on
information given to
hamish.caird@police.
govt.nz
The list of items taken
includes a Yamaha jetboat,
a six-wheel-drive Argo,
four karts and a large red
off-road buggy.
Mr Rhodes was the
owner of the well-known
Hororata Homestead
which was badly damaged
in the September 4, 2010,
earthquake.
The 7.1 magnitude quake
tipped his son Xavier
Trousselot-Rhode out of
his first-floor bedroom and
onto the ground outside.
The historic homestead
was later demolished and
the property sold.
Mr Rhodes was called in
early January by a Bridge
St resident who said the
warehouse had been broken
into.
“He said: ‘Your locks
have been cut’. He went
and put some brand new
locks on for us and then
the next morning he rung
and said they had been cut
again.
“There’s lots and lots
of gear that’s been taken,
some we haven’t been able
to list. Well over 30 years
of collection of different
things we have.”

The annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic drew in a big crowd last Wednesday. More
than 1200 people plus their teddies turned up to take part in the festivities at the
Rolleston Reserve and Community Centre. The event was a part of the district
council’s Summer in Selwyn programme. A spokeswoman said: “Children
enjoyed face painting, the pedalmania bikes, and jumping on the bouncy
castles amongst other fun activities. The teddy bear parade was a highlight for
many and the biggest in the event’s history to date.”

Bruce Russell
No plans to cut back on community work
Bruce Russell’s
contribution to community
organisations in
Canterbury has spanned
more than 50 years. The
78-year-old West Melton
resident talks to Devon
Bolger about his love of
farming and passion for
giving back
How did it feel being named
as a Queen’s Service Medal
recipient on the recent New
Year Honours List?
I was very surprised. It was a
great honour but as I said at the
time, I didn’t do the community
work for any recognition.
What are some of your most
proud achievements?
I suppose it would be the new
hall, well at least that was the
climax of all the work I’ve done.
After the earthquake, the West
Melton hall was badly damaged.
I called a number of public meetings
here and we decided the
appropriate thing would be to go
to the council and see if we could
build a community and recreation
centre and we basically did
just that. I get a lot of feedback
from people who hire it that its
one of the best buildings they
have been to which is quite nice
to hear. I’ve enjoyed working for
and with the community. One
person cannot achieve these
goals, they have to have the
support of people around them.
These things I’ve helped with
weren’t my ideas or anything but
I was able to gain that support
I guess and get them done. I’m
also proud of my work with the
Selwyn Central Community
Board here, which has been abolished
now. I chaired that and was
on it for about 12 years.
What community work are
you still involved in?
I am still on the reserve committee,
residents association and
I’m still on a number of other
committees. I’m there purely to
offer any valuable information

that I can. I believe the future
lies with the younger people and
we have to take notice of that. If
we can generate some interest
for them in these things then
well they will designate what the
future holds. I was appointed
a JP in about 2012 which was
a great honour and then I was
asked if I’d like to be a marriage
celebrant which I now am. I really
enjoy the work I do in those
roles. It’s just something else I
can do to give back to the community.
How started your lifelong
interest in farming?
I took over the family farm
when I finished schooling which
was in about 1959. I went to
Lincoln University in 1961 and
did a certificate in agriculture.
After that, I came back and
farmed in partnership with my
father. Then in about 1965 I
took over the farm and I bought
out my brother. I bought his
place and then a couple of the
neighbours’ and we finished up
with about 500 acres. We ran
dairy cows, pigs, sheep, cropping
and a contracting business from
there. Eventually, I sold the farm
in about the 1980s and moved
into Christchurch. When I was
farming I was on a number of
committees; I chaired one of
the local dairy companies, I was
very tied up with A&P work
and both the Ellesmere and
Canterbury shows. I also was
very involved in setting up vet
clubs throughout New Zealand.
I was chairman of the veterinary
services council which sort of
set up and help run veterinary
practices across the country.

TRILLO METALS MUSCLE
CAR MADNESS NO 30
Thirty years is a remarkable achievement
for any event, even in a marriage these
days it would be a very good result. Trillo
metals Muscle Car Madness has turned
into a car culture event and part of the
reason is that the Rangiora showgrounds
has become the perfect spot for it. A
supportive small town basically “bang
smack” in the middle of the South Island
gives easy access to all. In just a few short
years the show became the largest car show
in the South Island and ranks in the top
three of New Zealand.
Events have come and gone trying to
better this show but each year more and
more people come from all over the world.
The furthest entrant this year comes from
Arkansas. Entrants just love staying on site
and enjoy their late-night fun. This year
nearly 1,000 cars are entered for the event
with at least 800 more cars turning up as
day visitors. Due to high demand the show
will open from 9.00 a.m till 4.30 pm. The
Sean Williams is driving his top show roadster
down all the way from Auckland, featured in the
current N.Z.Hot Rod magazine.
Ian Neary’s Viper V10 powered GTX “Eruption”
is said to be valued at over $700,000 and will
be display on the Mothers polishes stand. It is a
world class show car.
arena will fill up quickly and will be only
available to twenty year and older cars. All
others and overflow of show cars enter gate
2. Free parking at gate 3.
An anniversary cruise will do 2 laps of
Rangiora’s main street then down Lineside
road and through Kaiapoi on Thursday
night. It will hit Rangiora’s High Street
just before 7pm and Kaiapoi about 7.20
p.m. The Rockabilly pageant takes place
Saturday at 12 noon, and burnouts will
start a bit later at 1.30 pm. Sunday sees the
burnout finals.
Top cars will be in abundance including
Ian Naery’s GTX ‘Eruption’ powered by a
Viper V10 engine and rumoured to be worth
nearly 3/4 million dollars. As usual there is a
great array of retro clothing, event t shirts,
market stalls, kids rides and ten live bands
including the return of Hillbilly Hellcats
from Colorado, and Flyin’ Saucers from
Melbourne. cost is $20 each, kids under 16
free and 2-day pass for public hours only,

Vintage cars and freemasonry
•From page 1
What did you do for work
when you left farming?
I managed a large company
with about 35-40 staff. I managed
that for 20-odd years. I won’t say
what firm but we worked in waste
services. Then I met my other
half Margaret and we brought a
property here in West Melton.
We’ve been here 25 years now
on a lifestyle block which is about
25 acres. We run cattle from our
property and I do a lot of contract
work out here still.
Do you have plans to slow
down any time soon?
No, not at all. I know the
other half wants me to but no
I don’t intend to. As long as
I’m fit and able, I can still help
people and that’s what it’s all
about.
How long have you lived in
Selwyn?
I’ve lived here for nearly my
entire life. I originally lived in
Greendale and then in the early
1940s my family and I moved to
our farm in Irwell which is on the
shore of Lake Ellesmere.
As I’ve mentioned I moved
into Christchurch for a while
but after I met Margaret we
eventually moved to West Melton
where we have been for about 26
years.
GIVING BACK: Bruce Russell said one of his proudest
achievements was working with the new West Melton
Community and Recreation Centre.
What do you like about living
in Selwyn?
I like its progressiveness. I
think it’s certainly an area that
has a lot to offer. It’s very diverse
albeit within agriculture, within
business, within manufacturing
but also we have a very diverse
population. We are really lucky
to have that. We also have quite
close proximity to Christchurch
and to an international airport.
It’s a very nice area to be in.
Can you tell me about your
family?
I have my partner Margaret
Langdale-Hunt and daughter and
a son from my previous marriage.
My daughter has two children so
I have a couple of grandkids.
What other hobbies/passions
do you have?
I am very keen on vintage stuff.
I’ve got one or two vintage cars
which both Margaret and I enjoy.
I started off the New Zealand
Farm Machinery Vintage Club
which began 20-odd years ago.
It’s a group of people who, well
it’s like the old saying – from a
thimble to a tractor engine. So
it’s a very diverse club and we
have our own premises now at
Mcleans Island. We’ve got about
seven or eight hundred members.
I really enjoy taking part in that.
I also enjoy freemasonry. I
have been an active member of
the New Zealand Freemasons for
roughly 46 years. It’s a fellowship
of men and we do a lot of charity
work and things like that.
The other interest I have
is music. I do quite a lot of
singing and that through my
freemasonry and thoroughly
enjoy that. A lot of people have
hidden talents and its just
something I like to encourage
amongst people and I do like to
take part in the Christmas carol
events here.
I do have a lot of hobbies
though, my main one is probably
people.
SELWYN TIMES
Guided
walks
throughout
January
THE DISTRICT council’s guided
walks began last Tuesday and will
continue throughout the rest of
the month.
Council spokeswoman Claire
Bunt said the walk to
Kura Tāwhiti/Castle Hill was a
success.
“We had 20 enthusiastic adventurers
joining us to explore. We
even had a family of nine join us
for the walk. It was the first time
in four years that they had all
been together.
“The Auckland-based grandparents
jumped at the opportunity
after having both studied Geology
and Geography at university.
Perfect for this breathtaking location,”
she said.
A different guided walk is
planned for every Tuesday this
month. It is a part of the Summer

Kerr geared up for one
more crack at national title
SPORT
• By Allan Batt
VETERAN SPEEDWAY racer
David Kerr believes he has one
more big weekend left in him
ahead of the 78 th New Zealand
midget car championship which
begins at Ruapuna Speedway on
Friday.
Kerr, who lives in Southbridge,
is the South Island’s
most successful midget car racer
with eight South Island titles to
his credit and he finished third
in the national midget car title
race at Ruapuna in 2015.
The 48-year-old said this is
likely to be his last shot at a
national title in the class.
“The body is starting to tell
me that its ready for a break,” he
said.
“I started racing junior saloons
at Ellesmere 30 years ago and you
start looking at all these young
guys and wonder how many
more laps I can squeeze in.
“Lawn bowls could be the go.
“I’ve had a few moments for
sure, but it’s always part and
parcel of trying and racing hard.
We all want to win. We all want
to go hard and fast but sometimes
you have to step over the

Kerr rates defending New
Zealand champion Michael
Pickens, of Auckland, as having
a huge chance of retaining the
title but is confident the Canterbury
drivers will make a good
account of themselves.
“We might miss that knifeedge
action and tough competition
but we will give them a
pretty good fight.”
Friday night’s programme will
see each driver contesting three
heat races and on Saturday night
they will do two more.
Just 20 of the 43 entrants will
contest the final.

Canterbury Country premier
45-over cricket semi-final hopes
alive.
Sefton got home by two
wickets at Southbridge Domain,
chasing 154 for victory, with
the result strengthening their
grip on fifth and keeping them
one win outside the top four
currently occupied by Lesston-
Southbridge, Southbrook, Oxford
and Cheviot.
In other results, Lincoln
prevailed over Weedons by nine
wickets at Lincoln Domain,
thanks to left-arm spinner Jeremy
Benton claiming four for 11 from
his eight overs which restricted
Weedons to 104 all out.
A century from Will Hamilton
helped Cheviot to a 110-run
victory over Darfield.
Hamilton’s 114 helped the hosts
make 278 for five which proved
SELWYN TIMES
too much for Darfield who were
bowled out for 168 in the 38th
over, at Darfield Domain.
Right-arm medium-fast bowler
Fergus Fairbairn ripped through
Southbrook to take six for 31,
as Oxford defended 217 all out

Young entrepreneurs take out
Innovation award
Enjoying summer in Selwyn
More than 1000 people turned out to the annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic
at Rolleston Reserve last week, as Summer in Selwyn continues to
draw the crowds.
Hundreds have also turned out to events including the ever popular
pool parties at Sheffield and Darfield last week and the first of our
outdoor movies in December.
There is plenty still to come, with the joint Selwyn and Christchurch
City Libraries whānau Fun day at Lincoln Library on Saturday with
stories, craft, technology and more, pool parties at Southbridge and
the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, another outdoor movie in Leeston and
two drive-in movies.
The popular Picnics in the Park are also beginning this week, while
other events include the Month of Sundays music afternoons on
the Lincoln Green starting in February, along with skate jams, sports
competitions and heaps of activities in Selwyn Libraries. For a full list of
events go to selwyn.govt.nz/events or visit the Council Facebook page.
Continuing our series profiling winners at the 2018 Selwyn Awards. Mana, 10, and Tui, 8, Martin
won the Innovation Excellence Award for their business Plastic Straws Suck.
Amongst the youngest nominees for the Selwyn Awards, Tui and Mana were fitting winners of an
award that recognises the outstanding innovative contribution of individuals, social enterprises or
businesses in Selwyn.
A school project about the impact of plastic in oceans inspired the passionate beach users.
“The beach is a fun place to be with all your mates and friends and family. If there’s lots of plastic
it pollutes the ocean and that’s not very cool!” says Tui.
With the assistance of dad Nathan, Plastic Straws Suck was born.
With the aim of having hometown Lincoln plastic straw-free by 2020 and donating 25% of their
profits to organisations dedicated to removing plastic from oceans, Mana and Tui have spent
tireless hours talking to hospitality businesses about the impact of plastic straws and selling metal
straws at local markets and through their Facebook page.
Being entered into the Awards was a surprise, as their mum’s friend nominated them and only told
them a couple of weeks before the Gala Dinner.
Reflecting on the evening, Manu recounts “My fav [favourite] part was getting to know everyone,
putting our idea out there and talking about what other people have done to get there and
how amazing their journey had been. When we heard our name called as the winner, we were
surprised. It felt really amazing”.
“It was really cool watching the entertainment and the food was really yummy. We also got to
meet the Mayor and wear his Mayoral chains, which was cool… and he also bought some metal
straws off us!” Tui remembers enthusiastically.
“Winning the award has definitely changed the way locals look at us,” Mana says. “And more
companies are going plastic straw-free off the back of winning.”
10,000 reasons to be road safety aware
We’re reminding drivers to stay alert and drive safely as children return to school next week.
From next Monday 27 January, over 10,000 Selwyn children will be heading back to school – that’s
nearly 20% of our population on the move.
Selwyn School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler is encouraging everyone to keep their eyes
peeled for our young people heading back to school by foot and on wheels.
For those heading to school here are some travel safety tips:
· Be bright and be seen. Ask your school for a safety vest.
· Tackle the routes together, talking about sneaky driveways and blind corners.
· Get out and active together to reduce the chaos at the school gate.
· Wear your helmets, this goes for caregivers too… young people are watching you!
People can also take advantage of the more settled weather to get out of the car and get active with
their children and familiarise themselves with hazards on the route.
“Road safety awareness is an important life skill and starts developing when you are young. Take
every opportunity to educate children on how to safely cross a road using their eyes and ears” says
Mrs Hautler.
“A fluoro yellow hi-viz makes your child visible in poor weather as well as bright sun. Most schools have
them available for free or a small cost and they really make a difference.”
If you are pushed for time, park a block back from school so that your child can scoot or walk. It is
good for them both physically and mentally, develops their road safety skills and helps with overall
congestion at the school gate, she says.
Road safety resources for parents and children are available from the Council by emailing
stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phoning 347 2705.
Libraries light up with lanterns
Four Chinese lantern scenes will be lighting up libraries around
Selwyn this week and at the Council headquarters in Rolleston.
The lanterns, which are being installed on this week, have been put
up to mark the start of Chinese New Year on Saturday (25 January).
The lanterns, which make up large scenes of animals and people,

Property files now available in
electronic format
Customers wanting to view a property file, or other Council
records, can now book this service online, and view most files
electronically once the booking has been confirmed. There is a
period of time required to scan the physical files, this depends on
the size of the consent.
The Council maintains a huge archive of records such as property
files, resource consents, cemetery records, liquor licences and
other documents.
Most Councils, including Selwyn, are now converting paper records
to digital files. For customers this means property files and other
records can now be made available electronically, rather than in
paper form.
This will also make it much easier to sort and retrieve files, and
means we’ll be able to send copies of records directly to customers.
Some archive files will still be in paper format while we work through
the digitisation process.
To request an electronic copy of a property file or record, or to book
a viewing at the Council’s Rolleston offices, visit selwyn.govt.nz/
propertyfiles or call the customer team on 0800 SELWYN (735 996).
Some charges apply to cover the costs of preparing and scanning files.
Bookings to view a file at the Council offices can be made from two
to 14 days in advance. Booking times will depend on availability
and an appointment will be confirmed by the records team. People
requesting an electronic copy of a file will be sent a download link,
which remains active for seven days.

Hundreds of fabric pouches, nests, mittens and other items will be helping injured and orphaned
animals thanks to knitting and sewing enthusiasts.
There has been a huge response from Selwyn residents to the Selwyn Libraries offer of patterns and the
use of its premises and machines to people who wanted to sew and knit items such as joey pouches
and mittens for animals affected by the Australian fires, Senior Arts, Culture and Lifelong Learning
Co-ordinator Hayley Browne says.
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the response locally and nationally. We’ve had
people from all over the country contact us to help.”
More than 250 items have been made in or collected by the libraries and are
being stored ready to transport to wherever they are needed. The idea came
after library staff saw the response online from people wanting to support the
Animal Rescue Craft Guild’s work and decided to offer the space and resources
for them to help out in some way, Hayley says.
Any items which aren’t needed in Australia will be donated to other animal
welfare groups who have a need for them, she says.
On the roads this week
Work is being carried out on the pavement on Leeston Dunsandel Road. Please stop on
request. Footpath construction will be taking place on Tramway Road, Springfield. This

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Business degree
or diploma – you
choose.
Committing to degree-level study is
a big decision for many people. So Ara
Institute of Canterbury has come up with
a study option that makes that decision
much easier.
“We think of it as the ‘try before you buy’
option,” Nigel Young, head of Enterprise
and Digital Innovation at Ara, says. “You
can enrol for a New Zealand Diploma in
Business, do a year of study and then at the
end of that year you can decide if you want
to leave with your diploma, or continue on
to a full degree.”
Nigel explains that this option makes it
much easier to transition to degree-level
study. “Regardless of what you decide to
do at the end of your first year, you
still get a great qualification. And
of course, if you choose to leave
with the diploma, you can always
come back and carry on to a degree
qualification at a later date if you
want to.”
The ‘try before you buy’ option
isn’t the only flexible aspect of Ara’s
Bachelor of Applied Management
degrees. They can be studied
full-time or part-time, and many
classes are delivered in the evenings
and online. “It means you can
realistically fit study around work
and other commitments,” Nigel says.
The Bachelor of Applied Management
is available in 11 specialities including
project management, accounting,
marketing and sales, human resources
and event management. Each is taught by
highly qualified tutors with extensive realworld
experience. Students graduate workready
thanks to work placements and
work-based projects with local businesses.
Ara offers a wide range of scholarships,
and students can also apply for credit
recognition if they have prior workplace
experience.
To find out more about Ara’s business
diplomas and degrees, visit ara.ac.nz or

New laws show
Government backing
Passing the Farm Debt Mediation and
NAIT (National Animal Identification &
Tracing) laws shows the Government’s
commitment to working alongside and
helping farmers, says Agriculture and
Biosecurity Minister Damien O’Connor.
“These new laws are necessary to address
the previous Government’s nine years
of neglecting the big issues facing the
primary sector.
“By passing these pieces of legislation the
Coalition Government has helped ensure
the future sustainability of the sector.
“The Farm Debt Mediation Act supports
the mental, emotional and financial
wellbeing of farmers and farming families
who find themselves in financial strife.
“Total farm debt in New Zealand is $62.8
billion – up 270 per cent on 20 years ago.
“The failure of a farm business can lead
to the farmer and their family losing both
their business and their home. For many
rural communities the failure of one farm
can have a ripple effect through those
communities and the regional economy.
“Farmers who operate a family business
often don’t have the resources to negotiate
their own protections when dealing with
lenders.
“This scheme will
help to provide
certainty for those
facing the hard
challenge of paying
back debt. It’ll
provide a way
to help them get
through, so they
can get on with
running their
businesses and
supporting their
families.”
Mr O’Connor said the ongoing efforts to
eradicate Mycoplasma bovis highlighted
flaws in the NAIT scheme.
“The previous government set up the
scheme and then let it languish, with little
to no oversight and no consequences for
lack of compliance. We’ve addressed their
inaction and created the animal tracing
scheme New Zealand needs to keep our
primary sectors and economy safe.
“We’ve done our best to make
compliance easier for farmers, including
transition periods where possible to help
farmers adjust. Combined, these steps
will see real changes for the industry and
improvements to our biosecurity system.”
“We had great cooperation from
industry to help improve the Act quickly
and efficiently, and now we have a NAIT
system that’s fit for the future.”

Enjoying the warm
weather outdoors
The hot weather has finally
arrived after a changeable
spring and there is still plenty
of time to entertain guests and
enjoy the warm weather and
long evenings outside in your
garden.
Intelligro has you covered

high-quality barks, mulches,
stones and chips to make your

the friendly team is happy

right product for your job, big

The addition of some potted colour is an easy way to

potting mixes, remember about the risk of legionnaires
and make sure you keep yourself safe by wearing gloves
and a mask. Open bags in open spaces not in an enclosed
area like a shed. Dampening down the mix before
use is also recommended and wash your hands after
every session in the garden.

specialty growing mixes come ready to go so you can pop
your veggies straight in, giving your plants the best environment
for healthy growth
and development. The mix is

growth, giving you fresh
vegetables all season long.

This time of year can be quite hot and dry, so it is important to
keep on top of things such as watering, weeding and mulching.
Having a watering routine helps to keep your plants happy and
reduce the chances of your veggies bolting to seed. Adding a
layer of bark or mulch will assist in retaining moisture in the soil,
as well as keeping the weeds at bay. We all know how frustrating
weeds can be, and they are so resilient and will happily grow
anywhere – just look in tiny cracks in concrete for example!
Watering
This is the time to be on top of
your watering routines, remember
to water deeply in the early
morning or later in the afternoon
every 2-3 days. It is better to do
this than small
amounts every

Perfect time for creating
your dream pool
Summer is here and the weather reporters are saying it is going
to be a long hot one. That brings to mind thoughts of having that
swimming pool that you have always wanted and the fun you
and your family will have splashing about in your own back yard.
“Now is an ideal time to organise the install of your pool,” says
Julie Hastings who owns Lagoon Pools with husband Warren.
Lagoon
Pools installs
pools
in sizes
to suit
both small
and large
sections,
ranging
from five
metres to
12 metres
in length
with a
variety of
widths,
colours and shapes. There really is a pool for every site.
Lagoon Pools is the Leisure Pools dealer for most of the South
Island featuring 100% composite fibreglass and, with patented
innovations, every swimming pool is supported by their lifetime
structural warranty and a lifetime osmosis warranty – this makes
them the strongest pool available on the market.
The unique fully automatic slat cover system is a popular option
as well as other cover systems including
the safety cover. Pool automation is
great and allows equipment monitoring
and settings right at your fingertips
from any location. New pools and
colour options can also be viewed at the
Leisure Pools website at www.
leisurepools.co.nz.
Additional features include
extra lighting, fountains, water
jets and spa jets which can
enhance the pool area further,
transforming it into an extended
living space where family
and friends can relax in the outdoors, Julie says.
It takes around five days to install a pool and the finishing
touches can take from four weeks depending upon
the design. Not only does Lagoon Pools install the pool,
they can offer the complete package including paving,
decking, landscaping, fencing etc.
“It is always very satisfying to see a project through
from concept to installation, turning a vision into a
reality.”
Contact Lagoon Pools by phoning Julie or Warren 0800 927 282
or 03 349 2160. You can also visit their website www.lagoonpools.co.nz
to find out more about their range of pools and other
services they offer.

Puppy proofing your home
and garden
A cute puppy may have arrived on your doorstep as a
special Christmas present for your family and that new
arrival will herald some changes in how your household
is run, ensuring that not only is the puppy safe but so are
your belongings.
Puppy proofing your home
is very much like baby
proofing except the canine
version is more
curious, active and
can be destructive,
wanting to
explore and play
with everything
in sight.
First up, and
this may sound
a bit strange,
but have a look
around your
home and garden
as if you were
puppy-sized and
extremely inquisitive
to prevent any potentially
dangerous situations.
Create an environment where more time is
spent where they are praised and loved than being told
off. And protect your home and possessions. They have
very sharp teeth and paws and the most simple
thing like library books on a coffee table
can be fair game so put everything you think
is precious or hazardous to your new friend
out of reach and keep doors closed to parts
of the house that you don’t want destroyed.
Investing in some baby gates to restrict access
is another option.
A good selection of chew toys is essential
as they help with teething, keep your
puppy busy and help promote chewing
on the right things rather than your belongings.
Consider crate training so they have a confined
space to keep them safe and out of trouble,
particularly
at night.
There is plenty
of information
about how to
do this on the
internet or check
with your vet.
Check which plants
you have both inside
and outside. Surprisingly
many are toxic and
karaka tree berries can
be fatal. Others include
common plants like lilies,
ivy, daffodils (especially the bulbs), some species of ivy
and aloe vera. Again check online, with the SPCA or your
vet for more information.
It can be tempting to give your puppy treats but there
are lots of human foods that
are potentially hazardous for
dogs. Chocolate and caffeine
are obvious and well known
but onions, chives, grapes and
raisins, along with mouldy
food, can also be toxic.
With a bit of preparation,
your puppy and your family
will enjoy a happy life together
and your home, possessions,
garden and new friend
will all remain intact.

Gardening
Put up a pergola
MANY OF us believe New
Zealand has near-perfect
weather and have made a
conscious decision to live
outdoors.
We don’t want simply
to wander about in our
gardens – we want to eat,
entertain, shower and even
sleep in them as well.
That being the case,
gardens need much more
structure than they’ve ever
had before, to give us a
sense of security and enclosure,
and one of the easiest
ways of adding this is with
a pergola.
Any one can do it with
a few bits of wood and a
hammer. If you don’t have
a hammer, you can buy a
simple, ready-made pergola
from the hardware store, or
a flash, stylish one from a
design shop.
A pergola can either be a
garden element in its own
right, in which case the design
will be paramount, or
simply a support for climbing
plants, making the look
of the underlying structure
less important.
Wood is probably the
easiest material to use if
you’re doing it yourself, and
the type you choose will be
determined by how long
you’d like your structure to
last. If you don’t want it to
rot, choose something like
cedar, which will weather
well and hang in there for
the long haul.
If you prefer a casual,
rustic look and don’t much
care whether it’ll still be
there in 10 years’ time, you
can make it out of branches
that have fallen from trees,
bound with twine.
For longevity, metal
pergolas are winners.
Naked pergolas can be nice,
but most look better with
something growing up
them.
Roses and wisteria are
obvious choices and it’s
hard to imagine anything as
appealing, but there are numerous
climbers which will
provide shade and make a
beautiful display.
Plumbago auriculata has
clusters of powder-blue
flowers that will cover it
during summer. It likes
decent soil, regular watering
and lots of sun, and can
be hardpruned in winter or
spring,
The wonga wonga vine
(Pandorea pandorana), will
easily smother your pergola,
even if it’s 10m high. In
spring it’s covered in small,

creamy flowers. If you’re a
real Kiwi, Tecomanthe speciosa
will have to be on your
wish list. This native needs a
stout pergola for support. It
has glossy, green leaves and
clusters of creamy, tubular
flowers in spring.
Give it rich, moist soil
and shaded roots. It has a
pink relative called Tecomanthe
venusta which
likes a warmer climate.
Mandevilla splendens is
a native of Brazil and has
extraordinary, deep pink
flowers. Mandevilla laxa
is a hardier version, with
clusters of fragrant, creamy
white flowers. Mandevilla
sanderi `Rosea’ is successful
in a container and will
grow in a conservatory in
cooler areas.
The incredibly tough
bougainvillea will add instant
Mediterranean appeal
to your garden, even if your
soil’s not great and water is
scarce.
It does, however, like the
sun. It comes in various
shades, with the disadvantage
of long, sharp thorns.
If your pergola is set over
pavers and there’s no soil
handy, grow bougainvillea
in a pot. It may do even
better than in the ground.

Mitsubishi Triton a
capable all-rounder
I DON’T like it when I’m
left defeated.
However, I was beaten
when it came time to take
home a bulky piece of
furniture my wife and I
purchased. It was simply
too long for the deck
of a Mitsubishi Triton.
Transporting the item
resorted to plan B – waiting
for a large SUV to come my
way.
That didn’t leave me
disappointed with the Triton
though, it is still the useful
load carrier for the tradie
or recreational enthusiast,
and I did find other uses for
it such as picking up a new
television and taking a good
amount of recycling and
green waste to the transfer
station.
Early last year the Triton
had a major upgrade.
Well, it’s mostly a facelift,
but the bold new frontal
treatment gives the ute a
more aggressive look and, of
course, refinements in and
around the vehicle will keep
it fresh through 2020 and
beyond.
While there are a few
engineering upgrades,
the Triton still has the
same engine and basic
chassis and suspension
elements. That’s a good
thing, it can mix it with the
market frontrunners, it is
very much a preferential
purchase.
The evaluation ute was a
high-grade VRX-specced
double cab with automatic
transmission. The latter is an
all-new six-speed type, it is
a beauty with smooth shifts,
and in VRX form it also has
a paddle-shift sequential
mechanism. Mitsubishi
was listing this VRX as a
special offer during my
time with the test car, it was
sitting at around $50,000.
To my way of thinking,
that is extraordinary value
considering its specification
level and how well it stacks
up to the opposition.
Major items include
leather trim, keyless entry
and ignition, cruise control
and speed limiter, rear view
reversing camera, and a host
of advanced safety features.
Under the bonnet sits
a 2.4-litre four-cylinder
turbocharged diesel engine.
It is rated at 135kW with
437Nm of torque, both
figures are realised low in
the rev band at 3500rpm
and 2500rpm. Even though
it is diesel-fed it is a lively
engine and gets about its
work willingly, it is also one
of the quietest engines in its
class, and that’s a credit to
the engineers – getting a big
block four-potter to work
smoothly takes some doing.
It is evident that the Triton
has the benefit of much
MITSUBISHI TRITON VRX: Highly-regarded fourwheel-drive
system.
soundproofing, and it has
a well refined engine in the
first instance.
A lot of development
has also been carried out
to cut down fuel use, it is
now to the point where an
8.6-litre per 100km (33mpg)
combined cycle can be
claimed.
• Price – Mitsubishi
Triton VRX, $49,990

• Performance –

• Fuel usage –

During my testing time
the trip computer was
constantly listing at around
10l/100km (28mpg) with
a 7l/100km (40mpg)
readout showing at a
steady 100km/h, the engine
just loping over gently at
1700rpm.
On the subject of figures,
the Triton four-wheeldrive
has a tow rating of
3500kg and it will haul a
payload of 905kg in a deck
area measuring 1520mm
x 1470mm x 475mm
(depending on deck liner).
It also has a useful 220mm
of ground clearance, all of
these figures are right up
with market demand.
The test ute was riding
on 18in wheels with quite
chunky 265/60 Bridgestone
Dueler tyres. Even so,
they ride quietly, even
on coarse chip seal, they
SELWYN TIMES
also offer direct feedback
through the steering. Utes
aren’t known for their ideal
handling, but it was nice
to have some surety when
I pushed quickly through
some tricky inland corners.
The Triton has handling
ability unrealistic for a
working vehicle built on
a ladder chassis and load
bearing live rear axle. The
suspension isn’t firm but it is
designed just to capture the
traditional movement live
axles tend to generate.
Mitsubishi’s Super Select
II four-corner drive system
is highly regarded. For
the driver it’s a simple dial
operated mechanism which
sits centre console. Due to
its likely role off-road and
in loose surface conditions,
the Triton has lowish
early ratios broadening to
provide low speed engine
movement on the highway.
With so much torque on
tap filling the gaps between
ratios it isn’t something that
needs to be considered, the
engine has solid power flow
through the rev band.
On a short, undulating
off-road excursion it
impressed with its grip in
loose shingle and its ability
to crawl up inclines, low
ratio is very low promoting
gentle slow speed travel.
Today’s pick-up buyer is
reaping the benefits of long
and gradual development
processes. It’s no wonder
our market is led by utes,
the Triton is a vehicle you
can comfortably put the
family in for that trip into
the high country, skifield
access road, or to the beach
for a swim or surf.
It’s also the quintessential
tow and carry vehicle. If
only that deck had been just
a few centimetres longer.

Selwyn District Plan
PRIVATE PLAN CHANGE 60
Kirwee Central Properties Limited has lodged a private plan change request with Selwyn
District Council pursuant to Clause 21 of the First Schedule of the Resource Management
Act 1991.
Plan Change 60 (PC60) proposes to change the Selwyn District Plan (Township Volume
maps and text) to rezone approximately 17 ha of land at Kirwee from Living 2A to Living 1, to
allow for more intensive residential development.
The subject land is located within the Kirwee township, south of Hoskyns Road, north of
State Highway 73 (West Coast Road) and east of School Lane and Walter Place.
Part of the plan change request area is currently being developed in accordance with
existing consents to undertake a subdivision creating 45 sites. While PC60 will principally
affect the plan change area not already developed, there is the potential for future division of
larger sites within the existing subdivision.
PC60 proposes amendments to the Selwyn District Plan that include:
· amending the District Planning Maps to rezone the subject land from Living 2A to Living 1
· incorporating an outline development plan to coordinate and guide the future development
of the site.
The plan change request and the assessment of why it is needed can be read at Council’s
Rolleston Headquarters and Darfield Library and can be viewed online at service centres and
public libraries in Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston or at www.selwyn.govt.nz.
Submissions
Any person or organisation may make a submission supporting or opposing any aspect
of this plan change. Submissions must be written and in accordance with Form 5 of the
Resource Management Regulations, which is available from any Council service centre or
on the website.
Submissions may be:
Posted to: Planning Department, Selwyn District Council, PO Box 90, Rolleston 7643
Delivered to: A Council service centre in Darfield, Lincoln, Leeston or Rolleston.
Faxed to: (03) 347 2799 (if you fax your submission please post or deliver a copy to
the details above)
Emailed to: submissions@selwyn.govt.nz
At a later date, all submissions received will be summarised and published. Further
submissions will then be invited, allowing certain persons and organisations to support or
oppose any of the initial submissions. A Council hearing will then be arranged to consider
all submissions, after which the Council will decide whether to reject or approve the plan
change. Any submitter who is not satisfied with the Council’s decision may then appeal to
the Environment Court.
For further information regarding this plan change or the process outlined above, please
contact Jocelyn Lewes on (03) 347 2800 or (03) 318 8338.
The closing date for submissions is 5pm on Wednesday 19 February 2020.
Selwyn District Plan
PRIVATE PLAN CHANGE 62
D Marshall, L Martin & A Formosa, M & T Saunders, B Hammett and J & S Howson have
lodged a private plan change request with Selwyn District Council pursuant to Clause 21
of the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act 1991. The plan change seeks to
rezone approximately 60 ha of land at Leeston to allow for residential development.
Plan Change 62 (PC62) proposes to change the Selwyn District Plan to rezone the Living 1
(Deferred), Living 2 (Deferred) and part of the adjoining Rural (Outer Plains) land to Living 1
and Living 2 to facilitate the future development of approximately 410 residential sites.
The subject land is located on the western side of the township, and is generally bounded by
High Street to the south, Harmans Road to the west, Leeston Dunsandel Road to the north,
with a small area lying north of this road, and Ellesmere College and residential development
on Spring Place and Mountain View Place to the east.
PC62 proposes amendments to the Selwyn District Plan that include:
· amending the District Planning Maps to rezone the subject land
· incorporating an outline development plan to coordinate and guide the future development
of the site
· incorporating rules that manage subdivision, building and fencing within the plan
change area.
The plan change request and the assessment of why it is needed can be read at Council’s
Rolleston Headquarters and Leeston Library and can be viewed online at service centres
and public libraries in Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston or at www.selwyn.govt.nz.

What to watch for when
the mode of sale changes
Buying a property is rarely straightforward,
which is no surprise given that it’s the
biggest financial commitment most people
ever make. When you combine big sums of
money and a considerable level of emotional
investment, even the simplest transaction
can be stressful. We hear a lot about the need
for buyers to do their homework, but there
are plenty of reasons for sellers to be careful
too.
If you’re selling a property with a real estate
agent, you must sign an agency agreement
that sets out all the terms and conditions
of your contract with them, including how
much commission they will earn from the
sale and how the property will be marketed.
That’s why it’s so important to get legal advice
before you sign an agency agreement. If it’s a
standard agreement, you usually retain the
right to sell the property privately but it’s a
good idea to check this. If you have signed
an agreement with an agency but decide for
whatever reason to opt for a DIY private
sale, you should double and triple-check
whether the agency agreement requires you
to pay commission to the real estate agent or
agency.
Most agencies use the Real Estate Authority
(REA) standard clauses in agency
agreements, which set out certain terms
and conditions for the contract and the
payment of commission. According to the
standard clauses, commission is payable if
the property is sold within the active term
of the agreement (normally 90 days) or if it
is sold privately within six months after the
end of the term to a buyer that the agent had
earlier introduced to the property. In other
words, if the buyer visits an open home run
by the real estate agent, and then enters into a
private sale with the seller within six months
after the end of the agreement, the seller is
still obliged to pay commission to the agent.
This can vary depending on whether it is
a sole or general agreement – talk to your
lawyer before you sign up.
Both sole agency agreements and general
agency agreements provide for commission
payments after the agreed period ends. If a
seller enters into a sale within six months of
the agency agreement ending with a buyer
who was introduced by the real estate agent
(or the agent facilitated the sale), then the
seller must pay the agent commission just as
they would have done when the agreement
was still current. So, if the agent brings a
potential buyer to a property in March, the
agency agreement expires in April, and the
seller and purchaser enter into a private
sale agreement in May, the seller will have
to pay the agent commission. The sale must
become unconditional (which is when all
the conditions of the sale and purchase
agreement have been met), but it doesn’t
matter whether it goes unconditional during
or after the agency period, or during or after
the six months following expiry, so long as
the sale and purchase agreement is entered
into within those timeframes. So, before you
sign an agency agreement, ask the agency
if it uses standard REA clauses. If it doesn’t
you may be exposed to more complicated
commission risks and you should seek legal
advice.
Generally, any issues arising from the agency
agreement/arrangements between the seller
and the real estate agent won’t have a direct
effect on the separate sale and purchase
agreement between the seller and the buyer.
However, the wrangling involved may create
headaches or delays that you as a buyer
wouldn’t want to be troubled with.
If you do decide that you’re really keen on a
property in this situation, seek legal advice
before getting involved (and especially
before signing anything). Remember too
that the REA can help you with questions
and complaints about sales involving
licensed real estate agents, but it’s unable to
step in if you have a problem with a private
and unlicensed seller.

The Best Kept Secrets
to Selling Your Home
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the
only impression
No matter how good the interior of your home looks,
buyers have already judged your home before they walk
through the door. You never have a second chance to
make a first impression. It’s important to make people
feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the
house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also
important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and
keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by
putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you
never know when your buyer is going to walk through
the door. You have to be available whenever they want
to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape.
Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher
cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure
there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little
inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first
You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling
your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of
remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.
It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops
where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking
price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most
inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new
cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can
present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start
envisioning their own style. If you have a little money
to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why
one? Because when people see one high-end appliance
they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates
the kitchen.
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house
One of the most important things to do when selling
your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal
stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can
imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your
stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,
memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.
Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best
showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade
Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth
makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your
money back if you do a huge improvement project before
you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates
that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh
coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,
cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track,
fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts
of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody
is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty
litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes.
It will give buyers the impression that your house is not
clean. If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your
pets around.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.
Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.
They must constantly monitor the multiple listing
service (MLS), know what properties are going on the
market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find
an agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one
has many tools to get your house sold.
Selling Secret #8: Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After location, good
light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they
want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the
windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage
of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let
in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house
bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets
Storage is something every buyer is looking for and
can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of
your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there.
Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and
cabinets clean and tidy.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Choosing a kitchen design
To some extent, kitchens design themselves with colours
and features enhancing the basic layout.
Positioning of sinks, cooktops and range hoods is best
determined at the time the house is designed. When
renovating a kitchen, there may be the option to work
with the existing drainage and wiring or to make changes,
which will likely add to the cost.
Repositioning or adding a new room for a larger or
lighter kitchen, or building in a pantry might also be an
option.
The kitchen is a place of activity so needs to be
functional and serviceable, to allow for family routine or
the needs of a keen cook. It may be the heart of the home
as a gathering point, blending into the living area. Less
popular today, are kitchens tucked away as a separate
room.
A pantry in the form of a scullery may be incorporated
for food preparation and dishwashing, with the kitchen
less of a workroom and more part of the living and
entertaining space.
Effective lighting is essential in any kitchen and
pantry. If there are windows, there will be natural
light during the daytime. LED lighting is best and now
the most common option for night time use and for
internal kitchens. Consider placement of lights whether
downlights or those hanging over an island to avoid
shadowing.
Sufficient bench space for food preparation is relative
A wood look is now popular in kitchens
to the degree of cooking likely to be undertaken. You may
want an island large enough for the family to sit around
or so the kitchen becomes more a gathering place than
preparation/food area. Areas to sit and work might also be
incorporated. Power points might be fitted so devices can
be charged.
Where an island sink, consider the distance to the
cooktop and refrigerator so there is efficient work flow.
Siting the dishwasher under the island and close to the
sink also makes sense. Another consideration is how
people will move in and around the kitchen. Two entry/
exit points are convenient and attractive though safety is
worth a thought.
The choice of appliances are dependent on a number
of factors. For example, cooktops need to be a certain
distance from the cabinetry, influencing choice and
number of cooking plates. A freestanding stove might be
to your liking though it may require a little more cleaning
than a fitted one.
Grey and monochromatic colours are popular for
kitchens, complemented by a wood look in some
cabinetry or the flooring. Glass and tile splash backs
are still in vogue while engineered stone benchtops
are favoured by many, as are soft closing drawers and
cupboards.
There are numerous innovative kitchen ideas available.
Determine your needs then if budget allows, add in a few
extra features you would like.
