Shelter belt fire risk

HORORATA resident Mike
Davies says ineffective shelter
belts must be a firefighter’s
worst nightmare as the district
continues to dry out.
Shelter belts are vegetative
barriers that are designed to
reduce wind speed and protect
soil from erosion.
Said Mr Davies: “The issue
is a lot of the ones I have been
seeing are wide and solid, when
a good shelter belt is 50 per cent
porous so the wind can flow
through it, otherwise it hits the
trees and comes over the top.
“In the process of letting
them get wide and topping
them, the trees fill up with a lot
of dead material that is highly
flammable and because those
bits are not attached, if you get
a fire they’re like little torches
getting blown out with the
wind.”
Fire and Emergency NZ fire
risk management officer Kerri
Pring said this can be a fire
risk.
“We have discussed the issue,
mainly with property owners
on a one-to-one basis if we
happen to be on their land at
the time.”
THe advice is to keep shelter
belts trimmed tightly and at
a manageable height, she
said.
“THis will allow firefighters to
access the interior of the shelter
belt and also allow helicopters
to fly over it.

from the editor’s desk
ANOTHER STEP in the long running
saga of the police undercover Operation
Inca which led to an investigation into the
harness racing industry has come and gone.
In the Selwyn Times today we report
on phone conversations between one of
Canterbury’s leading harness trainers Nigel McGrath and a high
profile Canterbury businessman which are now public.
The businessman, a big punter, is associated with McGrath’s
stable and the conversations bugged by police effectively revolve
around two horses trained by McGrath in a race at Addington
Raceway in March, 2018.
It was alleged the businessman was given a steer as to which
horse he should punt.
The businessman, and others who also have name suppression,
appear in the district court next month on charges relating to Inca.

protection in the pipeline
• By Devon Bolger
MORE THAN $400,000 of flood
protection works are planned for
Hororata this year.
The proposed work plan for
the projects was presented to the
Malvern Community Board at
its meeting on Monday.
There have been a number
of notable flooding events in
Hororata in recent years, two in
2018 and two last year.
The town’s average annual
rainfall is about 790mm/year
and flooding generally occurs
during prolonged rain events
over multiple days.
The proposed work plan
includes a number of projects
aimed at reducing flooding.
Happy Jacks Creek is to be
cleared about April and floodgates
are expected to be installed
next month.
A diversion drain will be
installed to move water away
from entering the township on
Hawkins Rd.
The smaller culverts along the
existing drain on the road will
be upgraded and old water race
culverts will be opened.
A water level monitor will be

clearing as part of planned works to improve flood protection in
the township.

installed at the roundabout on
Bealey Rd and options are being
discussed for a permanent onsite
pump.
The drain on Bealey Rd will be
reinstated to allow for an alternative
discharge point for flood
water at the roundabout.
The work will begin after the
diversion drain is complete.
Extensive willow clearing is
planned for Cordy’s Stream and
the Hororata River as well as
gravel removal to improve flood
flows.
Resource consent is needed
for the project and the district
council is continuing to work
with Environment Canterbury to
scope the work required.
Over the last financial year, a
number of projects have been
completed to improve the stormwater
system in Hororata.
Drains have been cleaned on
a number of channels and are
now included in annual routine
maintenance.
A manhole has been installed
at the roundabout in the township
to allow for easy access to
pump water when the flap gate
shuts.
Small flap gates were installed
on the sump discharge pipes into
Hawkins Rd drain which helps
backflow from the drain flowing
over into private properties.
A gravel bar in Cordy’s stream
just downstream of the bridge
has been removed resulting in
better flow through the stream.
The Downs Rd Water Course
that flows behind the struggler
blocks on Hororata Rd has been
cleared down to Cordy’s Stream
to help drain water away from
the Downs and Hororata Rds
intersection.
The Happy Jacks Creek ford
on Plantation Rd has had extra
material placed lifting the level of
the road.

Power bills should drop for winter
Companies
set to pass
on Orion cut
• By Jess Gibson
SELWYN RESIDENTS could see
a small drop in their power bills
in time for winter.
Electricity lines company
Orion will be reducing its prices
by an average of six per cent from
April 1.
The district council and
Christchurch City Councilowned
company distributes
power to 204,000 homes and
businesses in Canterbury.
But whether the reduction
in Orion’s prices is reflected in
people’s power bills will be up to
individual electricity companies.
The reduction in Orion’s prices
reflects a decrease of 7.4 per
cent in its cost of distribution,
partially off-set by a 1.4 per cent
increase in transmission costs
from the national grid operator,
Transpower.
Orion’s charges for distribution

“You should also make sure it
is trimmed low around power
lines and don’t have electric
fences up against the hedge.”
There is a low chance of a fire
starting in a shelter belt but if one
breaks out in the surrounding
areas, it will add fuel to the fire,
Mrs Pring said.
Mr Davies is a volunteer
for Selwyn Gets Ready and a
member of the New Zealand
and transmission costs combined
represent 36 per cent of the average
household power bill.
Consumer NZ head of research
Jessica Wilson said the changes
would shave an average of about
$3 off a monthly power bill. She

Meridian Energy is also likely
to drop its pricing.

“We are still working through

She said Meridian Energy will

A Contact Energy spokeswoman
the company is working
on price changes across the country
but did not have anything to
share in terms of its approach at
the moment.
Said Orion chief executive Rob
Jamieson: “The key component
of the price reduction is the lower
interest rate environment, which
the Commerce Commission
has factored in to our cost of
distribution.”
Environmental projects under way
AN ENVIRONMENTAL trust
is working with the Department
of Conservation on a number
of environmental projects near
Arthur’s Pass.
The Waimakariri Environment
and Recreation Trust is a
stakeholder group assisting DoC
with its work in the area.
It includes installing fencing
around Lake Lyndon, new
facilities near Lake Pearson and
the expansion of the car park at
Kura Tawhiti, south of Castle
Hill station homestead.
Arthur’s Pass National Park
senior ranger Chris Stewart said:
“DoC very much appreciates
the help it gets from community
groups such as the WERT.”
The trust deliberates on a wide
range of topics, including major
projects such as wasp control
in the Craigieburn forest area,
a management plan for Lake
PROTECT: This cable and
post barrier around Lake
Lyndon is preventing
damage to rare vegetation.
Lyndon and feral cat control in
the basin, trust secretary Helen
Hamblin said.
“The trust is involved in developments
around Lake Lyndon,
the closest natural fresh-water
lake to Christchurch, and is
assisting DoC in the writing of
a long-term management plan,”
she said.
A more recent project targets
feral cat control in the upper
Waimakariri basin.
“Locals have detected a big
increase in their numbers over
recent years and unfortunately it
appears that dumped domestic
cats are a major part of the
problem.”
Back in the summer of
2014/15, WERT member Penny
Wright started the Craigieburn
wasp control project.
“It was successful, and control
continues to this day,” Ms
Wright said.
The pressure on public land
adjacent to State Highway 73 in
the upper Waimakariri basin is
increasing rapidly, and is in part
being addressed in a great alpine
highway plan, she said.
Ms Wright said the group is a
key stakeholder in implementing
this plan.

Flemington subdivision
site chosen for new
Lincoln supermarket
• By Devon Bolger
THE Countdown
supermarket planned
for Lincoln will be in the
Flemington subdivision.
Countdown’s head
of property Matt
Grainger said they are
planning to build a 3000m 2
supermarket on Birchs Rd.
If resource consent is
granted, it would include
170 car parks and a cafe.
Said Mr Grainger:
“We’ve been looking for a
suitable site in Lincoln for
some while to help service
this growing area and are
very pleased to have found
this great site on Birchs Rd.
“It’s one of the fastestgrowing
parts of the
country, and we think a
Countdown supermarket
would be a valuable addition
to the community
and local residents’ grocery
needs.”
A district council
spokesman confirmed they
have received a resource
consent application for the
development.
It is currently going
through the consenting
process, the spokesman said.
Lincoln’s first supermarket,
a New World, has been
operating on Gerald St
since 2005.
But a booming
population has led to rapid
growth in the township.
Figures released by
analysts Infometrics earlier
this month show Lincoln
was the fastest growing
town in the district last
year, with its population
increasing by 10 per cent to
7380 people.
The national average of
population growth in the
last year was 1.6 per cent.
The announcement
for Lincoln comes after
construction began on a
FreshChoice supermarket
for Prebbleton.
The development is on
track to be opened this year.
A Woolworths New
Zealand spokeswoman
said they are starting to
see some progress with the
project.
“The structural steel
frames have gone up which
is great. We’re excited to be
able to bring a new Fresh-
Choice store to Prebbleton
to help service the local
customers.”
She said the store is on
track to be completed mid
this year.
The supermarket will be
1300m 2 and will open 7am-
10pm, seven days a week.
Deputy Mayor Malcolm
Lyall said it is exciting for
the community and he
has been pushing for a
development like this in
the area.
“There have been various
projects come up that have
never come to fruition.
Seeing this new player
come in and be really
excited to get something
going is awesome.
“It will definitely be an
asset to the community.
At the moment we have to
travel to Halswell or Lincoln
and there are about 5000
people in Prebbleton now so
to have a supermarket the
community can walk to is
fantastic,” he said.

Group opposing hazardous
waste site prepared for court
• By Devon Bolger
A GROUP fighting for wider
consultation around a hazardous
waste facility planned near
Prebbleton says they are prepared
to go to the High Court.
About 45 members protested
outside of the Environment
Canterbury office last week and
some were invited into a regional
council meeting happening at
the time.
Resident Chris Hutchinson
said at the meeting: “It was
mentioned that we could go to
judicial review and we would
love to do that and we would love
for ECan not to challenge that.”
A judicial review means the
high court would look at the process
ECan followed in reaching
that decision rather than remaking
the decision itself.
Resident Angela Jones said that
option could cost them about
$50,000.
“We’re hoping we don’t have
to. We are hoping at the hearing
there will be enough to have it
thrown out.
“We would ideally like to do
the hearing first and if the concerns
aren’t listened to then we
will do the review,” she said.

waste facility going in near Prebbleton standing outside the
Environment Canterbury office. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Mrs Jones said a givealittle
page is expected to be set up this
week for donations.
Waste Management Ltd applied
to expand its current site
and operate a waste stabilisation
and treatment facility at 305
Marshs Rd.
In its resource consent application,
it said the plant will
treat and manage items such as
pesticides, acids, used tyres and
many more types of rubbish.
Resource consent was granted
for the proposed plant by the
Christchurch City Council in
December 2018.
ECan also granted three
consents for its construction
and discharge of stormwater in
March 2019.
The consent application currently
with ECan is only for activities
resulting in discharge to air.
It ran a limited notified
consent process, which meant
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you

devon.bolger@starmedia.kiwi
only people within 500m of the
proposed facility had a chance to
have their say.
More than 5,500 people have
signed an online petition calling
for the decision to be overturned
and wider consultation to be
conducted.
Prebbleton businessman Hamish
Prebble was within the 500m
limited notification and has made
a submission against the facility.
He said one of his biggest issues
is the lack of credible detail in the
resource consent application.
“Waste Management has the
contract to handle and dispose of
any pesticides, herbicides, fungicides
and any other substances
collected through the Christchurch
Recovery Centre.
“It has the potential to include all
chemicals from A-Z. How could
they guarantee they could mitigate
any potential risks?” he said.
An ECan spokesman said they
have sought further information
from Waste Management Ltd for
the application.
It includes an assessment of
emissions of toxic compounds
from the site, limits on the number
of pesticides to be processed and a
site management plan.
Coriander’s
put into
liquidation
• By Sophie Cornish
THE OWNER of Coriander’s
Rolleston is facing worker
exploitation charges and has had
four of his businesses put into
liquidation.
Last month it was revealed Coriander’s
Ethnic Indian Restaurants
owner Amar Deep Singh is facing
charges of exploiting his workers,
whom the Labour Inspectorate
concluded were systematically
underpaid and abused.
On Monday, four businesses
under Singh’s name were put into
liquidation by Inland Revenue.
Coriander’s restaurants have
operated in the wider Christchurch
area for the past 12 years,
with three restaurants currently
operating – one in the central
city, one in Upper Riccarton and
one in Rolleston.
In relation to the worker
exploitation charges, the Inspectorate
is seeking recovery of pay,
a declaration of breach, penalties
and a banning order.
The charges against Singh
are scheduled to be heard in
the Employment Court in
Christchurch on May 19 and 20.
The restaurants are still open.

The horse trainer, the businessman,
the phone calls and the big bets
• By Louis Day
DETAILS HAVE emerged for
the first time of bugged phone
conversations involving a big
betting businessman and harness
racing driver and trainer who
was arrested for race fixing.
The conversations are part
of the ongoing major police
investigation into the harness
racing industry in Canterbury,
codenamed
Operation
Inca, which involved
undercover
officers
and electronic
surveillance.
Prominent
Nigel
McGrath
trainer and
driver Nigel
McGrath initially
faced a race-fixing charge
in the district court relating to
a race at Addington Raceway in
March, 2018, leading up to the
prestigious New Zealand Derby.
Raceway stipendiary stewards
launched an inquiry after the
race, concerned by the manner
McGrath had driven one of the
two horses he trained in the race
Star Commander. His other
horse, Sheriff won.
At the time, police were
covertly running Operation
Inca, gathering information
and evidence on drug-taking
by people in the industry and
potential race-fixing in order to
land bets.
Two phone calls were intercepted,
one between the
businessman and McGrath and a
second between the businessman
CONTROVERSIAL: Star Commander, the horse at the centre of a police investigation into the
harness racing industry.

and an associate in relation to
the Star Commander race.
The identity of the
businessman, who is associated
with the McGrath stable,
remains secret. He is facing
criminal charges in the district
court next month as a result of
Operation Inca and has interim
name suppression.
Police charged McGrath with
race fixing, which was later dismissed
in the district court.
The racing industry’s investigative
body, Racing Integrity
Unit, then charged McGrath
with racing offences which were
heard by the Judicial Control
Authority.
At the hearing, details of the
bugged phone calls emerged.
Former High Court judge
Warwick Gendall, who chaired
the two day JCA hearing did not
suppress the recordings.
The first phone call hears
McGrath tell the businessman:
“Don’t worry about Star Commander”
and then he adds “Star
Commander won’t get in Sheriff’s
way”.
In his written decision, Justice
Gendall says it was “abundantly
clear” the businessman believed
Star Commander was unlikely to
finish in a place.
Betting records showed the
businessman bet $27,252 on
19 bets involving wins, multis,
quaddies, trebles and a double on
Sheriff to win $37,057.
McGrath is asked by the
businessman if Star Commander
would beat Sheriff.
“Nah. Oh if it does it won’t.
If-if it ah. Nah don’t worry, don’t
worry about Star Commander.
Star Commander won’t get in
Sheriff’s way. You don’t want
that.”
The businessman called
McGrath after the race saying
a betting associate had said the
impressive thing was “Nigel
burning other horse.”
McGrath had sat outside the
horse leading the race, which
wilted under pressure, and
Sheriff was able to come through
and win.
McGrath faced two charges at
the JCA hearing.
The first was a serious racing
offence which accused McGrath
of driving in a manner detrimental
to the interests of harness
racing in that he planned and
deliberately drove his horse in a
manner to assist Sheriff.
The second lesser charge of improper
driving, alleged he drove
Star Commander improperly, as
well as planned and deliberately
assisted Sheriff.
He originally pleaded not
guilty to both charges.
However, on the second day
of the hearing he pleaded guilty
to the lesser improper driving
charge, and the Racing Integrity
Unit dropped the more serious
charge.
Justice Gendall suspended
him from driving racing for six
months and ordered him to pay
costs of $11,500.
In a letter obtained by The Star
to his horse owners after the decision,
McGrath said: “As you’ll
be well aware, I haven’t driven at
the races for over a year so this is
a no penalty for me.”

Judge says trainer’s actions ‘complete stupidity’
Pip Hall QC
• From page 9
McGrath’s defence counsel
Pip Hall QC fought for the transcripts
of the conversation with
the businessman to not be heard
at the JCA hearing.
He argued
the agreement
of the material
being given
to the Racing
Integrity Unit
was an “unlawful
bargain
to stifle prosecution.”
Justice Gendall criticised Mr
Hall saying it was “disingenuous
and opportunistic” considering
the defence had agreed to the
transcripts being handed to the
prosecution under the agreement
the criminal proceedings would
be brought to an end.
Mr Hall argued the transcripts
did not demonstrate a deliberate
plan to assist and favour Sheriff,
who he said was a horse a class
above any other in the field which
was reflected in the TAB odds for
the race.
Said Mr Hall: “The two talked
about scenarios as to how the
race might unfold. But the race
never unfolded in the way discussed.
At no stage was the possibility
discussed that Star Commander
would attempt to obtain
the parked position outside the
leading horse and that Sheriff

a phone call with trainer Nigel McGrath which was bugged by
police.
PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
would gain the one/one position,
which demonstrates there was no
predetermined plan.
“Mr McGrath described the
difference in the ability of Star
Commander and Sheriff as ‘night
and day’ and he was in the in
the best position to know as the
trainer of both.”
Justice Gendall said: “Of course
as is common practice, it is very
usual for a trainer to discuss with
an owner how his horse may be
driven and race tactics and chances
before a race. But this does not
permit a driver trainer to advise or
discuss how his other horse in the
race, which he will be driving, will
likely to be driven or its tactics.
“That is especially where the
(businessman) is told, as here ‘don’t
worry about Star Commander’ and
then ‘Star Commander won’t get in
Sheriff’s way.’
“His actions provided significant
benefits to Sheriff and that it may
not have mattered as it was the very
hot favourite and superior horse
in the race, it does not lessen the offence
of Mr McGrath of improper
driving. Those punters who may
have wagered on Star Commander
for a place or in an exotic bet such
as place six were entitled to see it
properly driven.”
During the hearing, RIU
counsel Brian Dickey said:
“Racing around the first bend
Mr McGrath looks behind him
and to his inside towards Sheriff
on two clear occasions. With
400m of the race remaining
Mr McGrath looks once to his
outside and then three times
to his inside, again all in the
direction of Sheriff.
“Star Commander then moves
outwards on the final stages of
the final bend which creates
a vacant gap ahead of Sheriff.
Sheriff, who was trailing Star
Commander did not need to
make use of that run which was
presented, instead switching to a
run on the inside and going on to
win the race.”
Justice Gendall did not accept
the suggestion made by Mr Hall
that it was permissible to look
behind for safety reasons before
crossing another horse.
“The total number of times he
looked behind was 11 times and
the compelling inference we draw
that this was to see Sheriff.
“His action provided significant
benefits to Sheriff, and that
it may not have mattered as it was
the very hot favourite and superior
horse in the race, it does not
lessen the offence of Mr McGrath
of improper driving.”
He said McGrath’s actions were
“complete stupidity.”
Justice Gendall issued a warning
to other harness racing drivers.
“In this industry, participants
that respect the integrity of harness
racing are to be reminded
that stipendary of the RIU have
evidence of improper driving
should bring charges,” he said.
Several senior harness racing
drivers gave written evidence
for McGrath (before he changed
his plea to guilty) saying they
saw nothing wrong with how he
drove Star Commander.
McGrath also had support from
one of the industry’s top administrators,
Harness Racing New
Zealand chairman Ken Spicer.
Mr Spicer sat with McGrath
during the first day of the
hearing, and even approached
The Star, saying: “When’s your
bloody newspaper going to write
something positive about harness
racing.”
Mr Spicer later told The Star
he had no conflict of interest in
terms of supporting McGrath
and carrying out his role as
HRNZ chairman.
“I supported the man as a
friend but not in my official capacity.
I put my friendship above
the role, I’m not going to turn
against a friend,” he said.
Mr Spicer manages a syndicate
of owners for a horse in
McGrath’s stable. He also bred
and originally owned Sheriff. He
still owns the broodmare.
Said Mr Spicer: “I just think we
have to let the JCA and courts run
their course. If anyone has broken
the law or infringed they will certainly
have to pay the price.”
Mr Hall also has racing
connections with McGrath, part
owning a horse in his stable.

A moving night for
rugby clubrooms
A late night drive has seen the Rolleston Rugby Football Club clubrooms arrive at their new home.
The clubrooms were moved last week from Rolleston Reserve to their new spot at the south end
of Foster Park, next to the rugby fields and new Foster Park changing rooms.
The clubrooms have moved as part of the Rolleston Town Centre Plan, making way for the
building of the new town centre on part of Rolleston Reserve.
Work has begun to ensure the building is compliant with the building code, and to install a concrete
patio and other surrounding landscaping work. This work is expected to take six to eight weeks.
Work is also under way on the final stage of upgrades to this south west area of Foster Park.
McLenaghan Contracting has started construction of a new car park area off Dynes Road, which
will provide 82 new parking spaces. This will bring the total number of car park spaces on the
Foster Park site to 475.
Remote bridge restored
One of the district’s most remote bridges has been replaced after
being washed away in a large flood last year.
The Hawdon River bypass bridge crosses the Waimakariri River on
Mt White Road, 23 kilometres from Arthur’s Pass. The bridge on
the edge of the Arthur’s Pass National Park is most well-known for
being the changeover point between the cycle and kayaking legs of
the Coast to Coast multi-sport race.
A large section of the aging bridge was swept away in a heavy flood
in early November restricting access to Mt White Station and to
Department of Conservation (DOC) tracks in the area.
Work to repair the groynes that help control the river flow and
build a new crossing to replace the old bridge were agreed
after consultation with the DOC, Mt White Station, Environment
Canterbury and the New Zealand Transport Agency.
The work including the new, stronger, box culvert across the river is
due to be completed this week.

Rolleston Town Centre
roading updates
Major upgrades to Tennyson Street are being sped up.
From Monday 2 March Tennyson Street will be closed to traffic
between Moore Street and Rolleston Drive. This will allow the upgrade
of the road and installation of infrastructure for the Rolleston Town
Centre to be completed around three months faster than scheduled.
As part of the work, a temporary extension is being added to
Markham Way to allow residents to exit Markham Way, Wilbur Close
and Peel Close and to provide access to the carparks for the shops
on the corner of Tennyson Street and Markham Way.
Pedestrian access to Tennyson Street will be maintained throughout
the upgrade, which is expected to be completed by the end of June.
It is one of several roading upgrades under way or upcoming in
Rolleston to support the town’s continuing growth and provide
connections to the southern motorway extension.
This includes the new traffic lights being installed at the intersection
of Lowes Road and Tennyson Street, which is required to meet the
demand from extra traffic entering Rolleston via the State Highway
1 Weedons Road Interchange.
While these upgrades are under way the Council is encouraging
people to plan their journeys through Rolleston. We encourage
people to access State Highway 1 from Rolleston Drive or the
Weedons Road Interchange and to use Rolleston Drive, Masefield
Drive and Brookside Road when accessing the town centre.
Thank you for your patience while we complete these necessary
upgrades to improve Rolleston for the future.
New Zealand more than just a
dot in the ocean
Continuing our series celebrating the Faces of Selwyn. Visit selwyn.
govt.nz/facesofselwyn for the full story.
Growing up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Angelica McCormick never dreamt
of living anywhere else, let alone on a tiny dot in the Pacific Ocean.
Until, 10 years ago, a close friend convinced her to study
English in Australia.
Aged 23 and fresh out of a PE degree, Angelica didn’t speak a word
of English and had never travelled overseas. Nevertheless, in 2009,
she moved to Perth. She intended to stay for a year, until friends set
her up on a date with a young New Zealand bloke, William – who
would turn out to be the love of her life.
A year and a half later they were married and two years later they
decided to pop over to New Zealand for a three-week holiday.
William had grown up in Canterbury and hoped to convince
Angelica to move. She didn’t take much convincing.
“I loved how nice New Zealand was,” she says.
They decided to settle in Lincoln on a lifestyle block with their own
animals including sheep, pigs, chickens and their three dogs.
Today, Angelica works at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. Swimming is
her passion, so even when her shifts start at 5.45am it doesn’t really
feel like work, she says.
When she has spare time, she likes to play her guitar, cook and to
hunt and fish with William. Selwyn feels safe, with many awesome
things to do and everything she needs is in close proximity, she says.
“I live just 15 minutes from work. You don’t need to go far to find a
beautiful place and you don’t need much money to enjoy yourself –
walking is free, you can go swimming in the ocean or rivers, and you
can go cycling.”

Selwyn teams fail
to make twenty20
country final
• By Jacob Page
NO SELWYN team will be
in the twenty20 Canterbury
Country cricket final next
month,
The Canterbury Country
twenty20 trophy is guaranteed
to have a new home in North
Canterbury instead.
Oxford and Sefton will meet
in the final on March 6 at Main-
Power Oval after both earned
key victories in the final round
of games last Saturday.
Oxford beat Cheviot by 18
runs to keep the top spot while
Sefton beat Southbrook by 12
runs,
Lincoln was the only Selwynbased
team with a chance of
making the final but their 40-
run loss to Weedons saw them
bow out.
Weedons got meaningful contributions
from all of their toporder
with Charlie Robson (35)
opener Todd Inness (31) leading
them to 162 for seven.
Lincoln’s run chase never
gained any momentum and
three for 16 from Jack Porter
ensured a comfortable Weedons
win.
Defending champions Leeston-Southbridge
were able to
avoid finishing last after beating
Darfield by 14 runs.
Rupert Young’s 47 helped
his team to 158 for eight which
proved to be enough as three
for 18 from David Neal helped
restrict Darfield to 144 for nine
in reply.
The final round of the 45-over
competition will be played on
Saturday minus the Canterbury
Country players who will be in
Hamilton challenging for the
Hawke Cup.
Oxford, Cheviot, Leeston-
Southbridge and Southbrook
have qualified for the semi-finals
but the finishing positions could
be affected depending on the
results.
At the other end of the competition,
Lincoln and Weedons are
tied for the wooden spoon on 36
points with whoever finishes last
facing the potential prospect of
relegation from the top grade for
next season.
The final week of games will
see high-flyers Oxford host
Lincoln, who will need an upset
to ensure their premier status for
next season.
Darfield welcome Weedons
which is in the same position as
Lincoln.
Second-placed Cheviot will
play Sefton and Leeston-
Southbridge will travel to
Southbrook eager to get a win
after three straight losses.
• By Jacob Page
CANTERBURY Country’s last
Hawke Cup-winning captain
believes the key to success in
this weekend’s challenge against
Hamilton will come down to
handling pressure.
Andrew Robertson is the only
Canterbury Country player to
win the Hawke Cup three times
during his representative tenure
which spanned 15 years from
2002 to 2017.
He won it in 2004/2005 against
Mid-Canterbury, 2007/2008
against Taranaki and 2014/2015
against Manawatu.
Canterbury Country last challenged
for the symbol of New
Zealand districts cricket two
seasons ago when they came up
short against Counties.
On Friday they head to
Hamilton looking to win it for
the first time since March 1,
2015, when then captain Andrew
Robertson lifted the Hawke Cup
from Manawatu.
“There is a definite lift in
intensity for a challenge,” he
said.
“You work really hard to earn
that right and your season is
pretty much defined by three
days of cricket.”
First innings half centuries
from Sam Chamberlain (74)
and then player/coach Shanan
Stewart (67) helped the
challengers to 317 in their first
innings.
It was then, the seam combination
of current Canterbury
representative Will Williams
and Lincoln’s Jeremy Benton
who took nine for 86 to restrict
Manawatu to just 178 which
helped set-up the first innings
victory.
“We had a great mix of youth
and experience in that team.
Players such as Jack Boyle, Will
HISTORY: The Canterbury
Country Cricket team on
March 1, 2015, after winning
the Hawke Cup from
Manawatu. (Right) – Andrew
Robertson with the Hawke
Cup in 2016.
Williams and Kyle Jamieson
were all part of it that season and
have gone on to bigger and better
things then you had experienced
guys like Shanan Stewart, and
myself.”
Robertson said it was always
a satisfying feeling to lift the
Hawke Cup even if his last time
with it ended after the biggest
upset in the competition’s 110-
year history.
After a successful defence
against North Otago, they lost it
to Buller after Robertson needed
17 off the final over to keep the
cup.
While he hit the first two balls
for a six and four, he was unable
to produce another maximum
off the last ball.
“That one still hurts, I think
about it most days to tell you the
truth but Buller played well and
hung on.”
Robertson said the key was
to realise a lot can happen in
three days of cricket and swings
in momentum were to be expected.
“I just wish the guys all the
best, they’ve had a great season
and hopefully they can bring it
home.”
The match begins on Friday.

Rolleston roading projects update
Tennyson Street – temporary closure
Tennyson Street closed
from next week
From Monday 2 March Tennyson
Street will be closed to traffic (in both
directions) from Moore Street to the
Police station, and will remain closed
until late June. This change to the
original timetable means that we will
be able to complete the infrastructure
works for the Rolleston Town Centre
much sooner than initially scheduled.
· A detour will be in place using
Byron Street, Brookside Road and
Rolleston Drive
· The 820 bus stops will be moved to a
temporary location on Rolleston Drive
(see map).
· Tennyson Street remains open
to pedestrians.
The project also includes temporarily
extending Markham Way through to
Norman Kirk Drive. This will allow for
access to businesses and residences on
Tennyson Street.
Thanks for your patience while we carry
Plan #
out these major works in preparation
for the new Rolleston Town Diagram Centre.

Ellesmere second in Browning Shield
• By Jacob Page
ELLESMERE HAS finished
runners-up to Mid-Canterbury
at the Browning Shield
tournament at Wilding Park
over the weekend.
Mid-Canterbury won the
symbol of Canterbury Country
senior tennis supremacy for the
sixth consecutive year, going
unbeaten against all competition
which also included Malvern
and North Canterbury.
Ellesmere last won the Browning
Shield in the 2012/2013 season
and pushed Mid-Canterbury
all the way in the opening
fixture on Saturday before losing
13 matches to 11.
Ellesmere went on to beat Malvern
13-5 and North Canterbury
13-11.
Ellesmere held their own
against the defending champions
in the men’s and women’s singles
as well as the men’s and women’s
doubles but they lost five of six
mixed doubles matches which
effectively cost them the tie and
the Browning Shield.
Ellesmere won five of six men’s
singles against Malvern to set-up
their victory.
They also won all three
women’s doubles encounters.
They then won four of the six
mixed doubles to edge a spirited
North Canterbury challenge in
their final encounter.
Ellesmere team captain Steven
Baird said it was disappointing
to lose after coming so close but
he believed second was a fair
outcome.
POISE: Jonathon Nowley plays a
backhand against Mid-Canterbury.
“To win the Browning Shield,
it has to be a team effort, you
can’t spend time looking at one
result and thinking about what
might have been.”
He said Brendon Jones
produced some strong
performances on day one, while
Julian Main stepped up on day
two.
Dave Withell won all three of
his matches against North Canterbury
to help secure second.
Baird said Letitia Jackson
fought hard at the top of the
women’s seedings all weekend.
Regular club competition
returns on Saturday.
TOUCH: Julian Main goes for a lob
shot.
STRETCH: Mel Williams tries
to get the ball on her strings.
SERVE: Nicole Fitchett starts
the next point.
CONTROL: Brendon Jones concentrates on
the line of the ball.
CONCENTRATION: Heidi
Blackburn looks to produce a
winner.

Tackle those gnarly tracks in a Pajero Sport
SUCH IS the demand for sport
utility vehicles, motor vehicle
manufacturers have recognised
the need for those which have
genuine off-road capability.
Sure, there are many SUVs
which are capable off-the-seal,
but there are some that are better
than most, those that are based
on ute platforms, ie: ladder
chassis and live rear axle.
The benefit of that type of
construction is not just high
ground clearance, but they also
have the ability to put power to
ground through low ratio transfer
cases and lengthy rear axle
articulation.
There are several ute-based
SUVs in the Kiwi market, and
in terms of sales, Ford’s Everest,
Toyota’s Fortuner, Holden’s
Trailblazer and Mitsubishi’s
Pajero Sport are the shakers and
movers.
This evaluation focuses on
the latter, and the Triton-based
seven-seat SUV has just had a bit
a revamp, there are a host of new
features and an interior rejig so
that comfort levels are enhanced.
In terms of specifics, the
exterior has had some cosmetic
changes up front, they provide a
solid, more powerful look. Inside
there are new display graphics,
greater storage facility, and soft
touch padding has been added to
the extremities.
One of the most notable new
features is the powered tailgate
which can be operated by waving
a foot under each side of the rear
bumper – this feature was great
for loading the hefty cricket gear
bag I use for coaching my year 7
Sydenham team.
Interestingly, the Pajero Sport
is available now in only one
specification, and that is high
grade VRX. It is listed now at just
$58,990, which makes it a most
appealing purchase; not only do
you get a lot of vehicle for that
price, it is finished with all the
goodies that characterise highgrade
Mitsubishi product.
It is swimming in features way
too numerous to mention, but
to list just a few, there are heated
seats (full leather and electrically
adjustable), paddle shifters and
a clever new electronic remote
control device which will link to
an owner’s cellphone. It enables
automatic opening of the tailgate
when approaching the vehicle.
Mechanically, little has changed
with the Pajero Sport other than
a few electronic tweaks to the
driveline and four-wheel-drive
system. The Super-Select 4WD-II
system has long proven itself in
Triton, and I consider it one of
MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT: Serious four-wheel-drive SUV.
the best in this type of vehicle.
Under the bonnet sits a 2.4-litre,
four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel
engine rated by Mitsubishi at
135kW and 437Nm. It is a real
powerhouse and drives through
the sophistication of an eightspeed
automatic gearbox. The
engine/gearbox combination is
rather special, especially so with
the number of ratios, there is
almost seamless gearing offering
the best structures for both
off-road challenges and smooth
momentum for the everyday
commute.
Of course, the Pajero Sport also
gets a seriously low ratio transfer
system for when those fourwheel-drive
tracks beckon.
The test car was showing only
333km when I picked it up from
the dealership; that being the
case, I was reluctant to take it
off-road for fear of damage and/
or getting it too dirty. However,
as good fortune had it, I offered
to take my son to a rural property
in Lansdowne Valley to pick up
some PlayStation games he had
purchased off Trade Me.
The house was located up
a private driveway which
meandered for several kilometers
on a steep hill. The accessway was
mostly sealed bar for some deep
ruts and broken surfaces. The
Pajero Sport easily conquered the
challenge in two wheel-drive, but
what was most impressive was the
way the suspension kept wheel
contact to ground, as well as
offering high interior comfort.
Steering feel was constantly
communicative, and turn in
direct through huge Toyo tyres
(265/60 x 18in). On the steep
descent it was also good to know
that the brakes were up to task.
That journey was a good test for
the Pajero Sport, and even though
the engine was still quite tight,
it made easy work of the steep
incline.

At highway speed it cruises

that is no louder than any of its
competition.
There’s been a lot of fresh

refresh, along with Pajero Sport.
There’s also genuine enthusiasm

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
Restoring an old caravan
When Steve decided to restore an old
1966 Freeway caravan, he imagined
it would take three months. It took
eighteen!
“The caravan looked alright. It had a
bulge on the right side where the bench
had fallen down after the floor collapsed
but I didn’t realise the extent of rot it
had. When the wall linings were off and
cabinetry out, you could put your foot
through the walls,” explains Steve.
To get the caravan into his garage,
he deflated the tyres then rigged up a
frame to support the roof. The flooring
was replaced with 18mm marine ply
and internal wooden walls with treated
timber. The original structure was
untreated, explaining the rot.
Six months into the project, an
additional steel frame was fitted around
the chassis for strengthening along with
new tail and park lights, axle and springs
to bring the caravan to warrant of fitness
standard.
Aluminium bubble wrap was used for
insulation, which Steve says is extremely
warm. The caravan’s lights and fridge
were rewired to 12 volt, allowing the
house batteries to run for three days
before needing to be re-charged, and
a 150 watt solar panel was fitted to the
roof.
Internally, the caravan was lined with
plywood. Steve then constructed the
internal joinery, including a curved
wall wardrobe, new kitchen bench unit,
double bed base to accommodate a
comfortable mattress, seat bases and
a table. Badges, coins and bank notes
collected on Steve and Lyn’s travels, were
wedged between a resin cover and the
Rimu table top.
Friends and family added their touch,
helping create some part of the caravan
or gifting accessories for its interior. New
Aluminium bubble
wrap insulation.
and recycled materials
were used, like the
bench top from a friend’s
caravan and Rimu from
a neighbour’s ceiling. The
tail lights were custom
built and represent a 1961
Impala; the car which will
eventually tow the caravan.
“Only the chassis rails
and one piece of wood by
the door are original,” says
Steve.
Steve and Lyn often talked about
owning a retro caravan to take on
holidays. The 1966 Freeway cost $3,000
originally, and around $18,000 to
renovate.
Steve says he is unlikely to renovate
another and suggests anyone considering
buying a caravan to restore, check
underneath for rust in the chassis and rot
in the wooden floor.
“Rot in the floor has probably come
from somewhere else so there’s likely to
be rot all the way down,” advises Steve.
From dented and battered, Steve has
completely transformed the caravan
into a stunning semi-retro, comfortable
holiday home on wheels. However, he
says it is like an old car: there is always
something that could be done.
The 1966 Freeway Caravan – not to be
confused with Franklin Freeway caravans
manufactured in Australia –was built
in Dunedin with only a limited number
produced. Steve’s research has found
little on the New Zealand made caravan
though he would like to know more.

Gardening
Plan around available light
ONE OF the biggest problems
you are going to encounter when
you are landscaping small spaces
is the amount of light available
and how well the ground drains.
In larger spaces this is much
less of a problem because you can
always vary the design according
to the conditions, moving a particular
idea into another section if
required.
This is one luxury you don’t
have in smaller gardens. Landscaping
small spaces doesn’t have
to be about growing plants.
Where there is little natural
light you could still landscape
– but without using any plants
or just a few of those plants that
thrive in poor light. Just fill the
area to be landscaped with gravel,
or lay paving and then place a
bench in a strategic position and
dot around some garden sculptures
– perhaps a water feature.
You could, of course plant
many varieties of shade-loving
plants. If you are landscaping
small spaces you should let your
eye move skywards.
Install some frames and train
some climbing plants over them –
perhaps variegated ivy or virginia
creeper, both of which are lovers
of poor lighting conditions.
Try hydrangea and, perhaps,
a deciduous shrub such as one
of the varieties of tree holly or, if
BULKY: Use hydrangeas to cover a small corner, it will grow
well even without much light.
you really have green fingers, try
growing an azalea or two – they
are a bit tricky to grow but some
people seem to have the knack.
For ground cover try coleus, a
plant that comes with some beautiful
variegated leaves, and other
ground covering plants such as
the various erica species.
Landscaping small spaces can
be particularly effective if you
look around you and carefully
take stock of the whole space at
your disposal. Part of the key is to
look up.
You are bound to have a perimeter
fence or wall around your
property and these can be ideal to
support climbing plants against
– honeysuckle, passion fruit and
climbing roses – to name just a
few.
There are literally hundreds of
varieties of climbing plants you
could use. You could even plant
fruit trees.
Even the smallest patio space
has sufficient room to grow a
couple of espalier apple trees
or pear trees which are trained
horizontally along a wall rather
than allowed to grow into their
natural state.
Once your actual landscaping
has been implemented you could
finish off with some night-time
lamps.
Landscaping small spaces really
can be quite fun if done properly
with plenty of research up front.
BACKYARD CRITTERS
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).
Each week he introduces a new species found in
his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise
public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of

Ecosystem benefits
from useful wasp
WHEN WE mention wasps,
most people think of the black
and yellow stinging variety of
vespula wasps, including
the nasty german wasp.
However, other
families of
wasps are parasitic
on pest species,
a useful
ecosystem
service.
One example is
Glabridorsum stokesii,
a parasitoid deliberately
introduced into New Zealand
in 1967-1969 for the biological
control of the oriental fruit
moth and the light brown apple
moth.
Two non-target pests, the
brownheaded and greenheaded
leafrollers are also parasitised by
the wasp. Glabridorsum stokesii
is native of Australia, it is 10mm
long with a black and white
body and mainly orange legs.
THe parasitoid is often
confused with the parasite
of the lemon tree borer but
the latter has incomplete
white rings around the
eyes, while Glabridorsum
has continuous white rings
around the eyes.
Females
parasitoids
usually
oviposit into moth
pupae, but sometimes
in pre-pupa or the last stage
of larvae. They undergo three
generations per year and can
parasitise up to 73 per cent of
the oriental moth population.
THese parasitoids are
hosts themselves to other
parasites, behaviour known as
hyperparasitism.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE
At the Boulevard Boutique Lifestyle Village
PRIVATELY OWNED AND OPERATED
A GEM IN ROLLESTON
The Boulevard stands out when you are making your lifestyle choice with architecturally designed
two and three-bedroom villas, all with a point of difference. Entry from 55 years and consideration is
given so you can have your pet.
Karen believes lifestyle villages have
much to offer; she is happy to discuss
how retirement village living works and
give advice on the choices available,
not just at the Boulevard.
Get Peace of Mind at the Boulevard
Boutique Lifestyle Village
All retirement villages offer a variety
of different benefits but at the end of
the day, they are similar concerning
their Occupation Right Agreement.
Some may focus on one point such as
capital gain but have higher non-fixed
weekly fees. Other villages require the
occupier to sell their villa, pay the real
estate fees and take on the stress that
goes with selling real estate. Some
occupiers have to accept capital loss
if the market changes, while others
have to pay village renovation costs,
termination fees, and legal costs, and
may also be charged for advertising
and introducing new residents.
“At the Boulevard, everything is
transparent and easy to follow,” says
Karen. “We do not offer capital gain
but our deferred management fee
covers all those extras things, some of
which are listed above. It is all about
peace of mind at the end of the day
and what suits you personally and
financially.”
“What is important is that you choose
the village most suited to your needs.”
Architectural styling with
futureproofed residential care
Karen says the Boulevard attracts
people who love the architectural style
of the village and the individuality of
the villas.
“Our residents also experience peace
of mind that their weekly fees will not
go up and have full transparency as to
what comes off the Occupation Right
Agreement when it’s time to move on.”
The care facility, yet to be built, is also
appealing. At the Boulevard, residents
can move easily from their villa to an
apartment, care suite or hospital-level
care and not leave the village.
NEXT STAGE OF FURTHER
TWO BEDROOM VILLAS
COMMENCING THIS MONTH
Secure your villa now and personalise with your
own colour choices for soft furnishings and
joinery.
The next stage of two-bedroom villas are priced
from $475,000 and include television, fridge,
combination microwave, wall oven, dish drawer,
ceramic hobs, electric fire, heat pump, washing
machine and dryer, plus all soft furnishings.
Check out our video presentation of a two and three-bedroom villa on our website: boulevardvillage.co.nz

Lincoln Community Toy Library
Lincoln Community Toy Library promotes and encourages families to save money and the
environment by not buying toys that end up in landfill after children get bored with them.
This way children get new toys to play with and the toys are rotated so that they don’t end
up in landfill.
Four Seasons Realty 2017 Ltd is proud to support Lincoln Community Toy Library with a
donation through the Harcourts Foundation, which will support children and families in the
community.

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

property, check out www.settled.govt.nz.

Building on a
new bare land
lifestyle block
Many people dream of owning a lifestyle block
where they can live the rural lifestyle and have more
space with a larger home and a few animals.
Chris Flanagan, owner of Selwyn real estate firm
Matson and Allan, says it is a matter of going in with
your eyes open.
“When looking to buy a bare land lifestyle block
you need to consider the services it has available,”
advises Chris.
Chris lists the availability of water and electricity,
putting in a driveway, siting of a new home,
covenants on the property, and GST status as all
questions to address.
“The majority of buyers will need to drill their own
well,” says Chris.
Each situation differs with the cost of drilling a
well. This is influenced by the depth needed to access
a reliable water supply.
Next, buyers should consider where the electricity
is in relation to the block and where the home will be
built. Power may need to be brought down the road
though usually, it will simply involve bringing power
from the road onto the property.
Accessibility and cost of sourcing services may
determine where a new home will be sited. Building
close to the road can minimise costs but could
ultimately devalue the property. To avoid this, it
is important that service connection costs are
factored into the budget.
Building platform regulations are generally
not an issue in Selwyn though nearer the
Port Hills or in flood prone areas, there may
be a minimum building height with a more
engineered foundation required, adding to
the build cost.
It is very important to check the GST
status when purchasing a bare land
lifestyle property. Generally, if the vendor
is registered for GST then GST will be
payable on top of the purchase price. It
would be advisable to seek professional
advice from an accountant with regard
to any possible GST payment.
When buying a bare land lifestyle block, also check
if there are any covenants against the title. Covenants
are put in place to protect the purchasers’ investment
and ensure the subdivision is of a high standard. A
lot of covenants will not allow relocatable homes
and require that all new homes are constructed from
new materials. Chris says they are also seeing new
covenants requiring that shelter belts are trimmed
annually and kept to a certain height. Factory
farming is always not allowed. Chris says he is also
seeing more covenants introduced that are requiring
paddocks be topped every year to reduce the risk of
fire.
If you are looking to purchase a lifestyle property,
make sure you ask the real estate agent selling the
block about the covenants, services available and the
GST status. Chris and his team at Matson and Allan
are more than happy to advise you in this process.

Understanding your needs
For a short time only, people will be
able to view a very special showhome in
Stonebrook.
Designed and built by Full Circle
Homes’ director John Krausz, this four
bedroom 191sqm home has many
desirable features, most standard to a
Full Circle Homes’ build.
Constructed for John and his wife
who recently moved to Stonebrook
to be closer to their daughter and
grandchildren, the showhome is
well designed giving it broad appeal,
especially for those with families or who
are looking to downsize.
With almost 40 years’ experience
in new residential homes, John
understands building and what people
want, taking the time to listen so clients
will love their new home.
Ideas abound in this showhome.
In the open plan living area, a Schist
feature wall hides the front door while
extra wide stacker doors access a large
deck. Repurposed bedrooms have
become a craft room and an office with
its own external entrance.
Merging beautifully with the living
area, the kitchen reflects quality with
innovative aspects like the black tower
Fawcett and instant hot water dispenser.
Many features, often deemed extras, are
standard for Full Circle Homes, such as
the Insinkerator and option of a gas or
induction hob.
“The Lignite”
Separated from the other bedrooms,
the master has its own private deck
and spa pool for the perfect parents’
hideaway. Drawers, shelving and
hangers show how a walk-in robe might
be fitted-out while the ensuite replicates
the firm’s standard specifications of
900mm vanity, corner shower, toilet,
glass mirrored cabinet and heated towel
rail.
A living example of Full Circle
Homes’ standard package these go
beyond what might be expected to
include extras like: the fully insulated
garage and superior Colorsteel door
191 m2
(more or less)
(inside and out for a solid sharp and
tidy finish); marine carpeted garage
floor; attic storage trusses; electronic/
remote controlled Daikin ducted
heating system, WiFi, lighting and
two security cameras; a security front
door bell; vinyl planking and quality
carpet. There are the little things too.
The wardrobes and hall linen cupboard
have fitted wooden shelving, the main
bathroom a freestanding bath and
1200mm vanity.
The home’s exterior cladding is plaster
finish, augmented with schist features
and black aluminium joinery. Its
laminated timber J-Framing (standard
to Full Circle Homes) ensures straighter
stronger framing offering more integrity
in an earthquake.
John works with clients to identify
the most suitable design and choice
of features and fittings as well as
John Krausz
their placement. He has considerable
experience working with first home
buyers, understanding the importance
of ensuring their standard building
package is comprehensive so fencing,
driveway, patios, lawns and landscaping
are all included.
Full Circle Homes’ Rolleston
showhome at 12 Lignite Drive in
Stonebrook, is open Sundays from
1pm until 4pm or during the week by
appointment.
To contact John, phone 390 4231
or 022 340 9122, or email: john@
