Street names honour Kiwi icons
• By Devon Bolger
IF YOU take a stroll down the
streets of this new Rolleston
subdivision you will find
yourself surrounded by kiwi
icons.
Billy T and Sir Richard
Hadlee Lanes are just some of
the street names within Acland
Park.
All but two of the streets
follow the theme in the
subdivision, which has more
than 1000 sections.
Other street names include
Kate Sheppard Drive, who
was fundamental in securing
women the right to vote in
1893, and Ed Hillary Drive
who, of course, conquered Mt
Everest.
Names that have been approved
for the subdivision but
have yet to have signs installed
include Lomu Way (named after
All Black great Jonah Lomu),
Truby King St (named after
the New Plymouth man who
founded Plunket in 1905).
Clement Ave will also
feature in the subdivision
(named after Jemaine Clement
from comedy group Flight of
the Conchords).

Council
introduces
measures
to lower
rates
increase
• By Devon Bolger
RESIDENTS SAY the district
council’s decision not to proceed
with a zero rates increase was
pragmatic.
Rates will increase by about 1.6
per cent for the coming financial
year, lower than the expected 3.5
per cent increase.
The general rate will increase
by three per cent, the water supply
rate by four per cent and the
water race rate by three per cent
which equates to the average 1.6
per cent.
The impact on rates for a
sample of properties in dollar
amounts is outlined:
•An urban residential property
with sewerage – $47 increase
•A rural property near Darfield
– $385 increase
•A rural property near Lincoln
– $100 increase
Other options considered
included keeping rates at the
level they are now, increasing the
volumetric water charge by 21 per
cent and proceeding with the 3.5
per cent increase.

THE DISTRICT council
has made a commonsense
decision over the rates
increase for the coming
financial year (see page 1).
Ratepayers will face an
average increase of 1.6 per
cent, down from a possible
3.5 per cent hike.
This means for an urban
property the increase will
be just under $1 a week, and
between $2 and $6 a week for
a rural property depending
where you live.
The trade off for the 1.6
per cent increase is that
some planned projects such
as refurbishments at the
district council offices, and
public toilets for Lincoln and
Prebbleton will be put on
hold.
Some people who made submissions
to the council wanted
the zero increase option.
But the district has to keep
going forward, even in tough
times.

Demolition team
levels fire-damaged Kirwee Tavern
• By Devon Bolger
THE KIRWEE Tavern has
been demolished after being
destroyed in a fire last year.
Work on demolishing the
building finished on Friday
after it began late last month.
Licensee Steve Evans said
they found a second deep cellar
that was not known about.
“I will reveal more about that
when we investigate it next
week when the rubble has been
cleared.”
The Kirwee Tavern was almost
completely destroyed when a
fire broke out in the late hours
of Christmas Eve. About 60 firefighters
were needed from across
Canterbury to tackle the blaze.
The cause of the fire was
found to be an electrical fault
due to old wiring.
Mr Evans said negotiations
have started with the insurance
company for a rebuild of the

In December last year the

committee released its decision

licences held by Evansbury
Holdings Ltd, of which Mr
Evans sole director.
In January, Mr Evans
appealed the decision to decline
the renewal of the licences.

TUBE SLIDE CLOSED
The new tube slide at Foster Park
has been closed after cracking
was discovered. The new slide
was installed in February after
cracks were discovered on the
original slide in September last
year. The slide will remain closed
while an engineering assessment
is carried out. A spokesman said
further options will be considered
following the assessment.
INTERSECTION UPGRADE
The upgrade of the Tennyson St
and Lowes Rd intersection, in
Rolleston, is expected to be complete
next month. A district council
spokesman said the contractor
has gained momentum since work
recommenced after the lockdown.
They have been concentrating on
completing work on underground
services as well as kerbs and
footpaths. The upgrade includes the
installation of traffic lights at the
intersection. The project is expected
to be complete by July 23. Eleven
thousand vehicles a day travel across
the intersection and the upgrades
are aiming to improve safety. The
project is expected to cost $3.2
million and the work is a part of a
wider programme to upgrade three
major intersections in Rolleston.

‘I feel that this was a
pragmatic decision’
• From page 1
The district council identified
savings of $1.7 million to reduce
the level of the rates increase.
Deferred projects include refurbishments
at the district council
offices and public toilets for Lincoln
and Prebbleton. Catering at
district council meetings will also
be stopped.
Councillor Grant Miller was
the only one to vote against it, instead
voting to increase the volumetric
water charge increased.
Rolleston Residents Association
chairwoman Michelle Jones said
she understands why the decision
was made.
“I feel that this was a pragmatic
decision based on the feedback
that was given to the council.
“While I personally would have
liked a rates freeze, after reading
all the submissions I can see why
this decision has been reached.”
Leeston community committee
chairman Lloyd Clausen wrote a
submission on behalf of the committee
which said they supported
the planned 3.5 per cent increase.
He says he thinks the decision
to proceed with a lower increase
was a pragmatic one.
Michelle
Jones
Lloyd
Clausen
“The district council have to
be the ones to make the big decisions.
We presented a certain
viewpoint but they had a lot more
information that we didn’t have.”
Weedons Residents Association
chairman Stephen Bain, who
made an individual submission
calling for a freeze on rates, said
he is appalled the district council
is proceeding with any rates
increases.
“It is a very middle-income
area and there are people who are
going to be feeling very uneasy
about their jobs, the last thing
they need is an announcement
there rates are going up.”

formally adopt the Annual Plan

Anne Richardson
A life-long passion for wildlife
Anne Richardson has
worked for the Isaac
Conservation and Wildlife
Trust. The Hororata
resident speaks to
Devon Bolger about her
passion for birds and
becoming an officer of
the New Zealand Order
of Merit
How did your passion for
conservation start?
I actually started work at
Orana Park. I worked there
for 10 years and like every new
keeper wanted to work with the
lions, tigers and monkeys.
I soon specialised in birds
because it is actually a challenge
just to keep them alive let alone
get them to breed.
While I was there, Lady Diana
Isaac came down and met me
because she wanted to move into
conservation. She asked me for
advice on what birds she could
have and how to build an aviary.
We got to know each other
quite well and she made me
a very tempting offer to start
working in conservation.
The trust was already established
at that point, it actually
started in the 1950s when they
first moved onto the land. It has
all been quarried.
There were quite a few aviaries
here when I started. We have
just built upon what was there
already. I went on as the wildlife
manager and have kept that position
since.
What does the Isaac
Conservation and Wildlife
Trust do?
It is private and not open to
the public and sits on the Isaac
Construction site.
The trust fully funds the whole
programme that we do such as
building the aviaries and all our
wages and everything.
I have connections at the Department
of Conservation and
one day we pointed out to them
COMMITMENT: Anne Richardson with ‘Hunter’ a blue duck. The Hororata resident has been
working for the Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust for 28 years. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
that we were prepared to build
aviaries and help with endangered
birds.
We just slowly started getting
all the endangered species and
built the aviaries to suit them. I
think because we are not open to
the public we just do so well with
the breeding.
I just love what I do, I mean
it is not even work for me, it is
a passion. When you have the
resources to be able to do it, it is
amazing.
With this being a working
quarry we can build really huge
aviaries and we have all the road
equipment and machinery we
need on-site.
All of the truck drivers that
work here are all really supportive
of what we are doing.
Whenever I walk past them
they always ask me what we are
up to so I think they are really
keen and proud of what we do
here.
Are there any achievements
or successes with the trust that
stand-out for you?
One of the big ones is we
started doing the incubation of
blue duck eggs, DOC actually
collected them from the wild, we
incubated and hand-reared them
and were able to release them
into the wild.
The adults would actually
double-clutch, which is when
an animal lays two sets of viable
eggs, with DOC doing all the
predator work we were doubling
the population numbers.
We increased the number
of blue ducks so much, it has
worked really well.
Another one is our work with
the orange-fronted parakeet,
they are only found up in the
Arthur’s Pass area.
We have actually saved them
from extinction. We bred them
here and released them into the
wild.
I think the good part about the
job is that we can actually go on
the releases too so we can go out
to the wild and see what happens
after we have bred the animals
so that is really cool. That is our
little reward getting to go along
to them.
Do you have a favourite bird?
I would have to say the black
stilt because they are really really
endangered and we have helped
them out a lot with DOC in
Twizel.
I also like the blue duck
babies because they are so cute
and we have done so much
hand-rearing, we could end up
breeding about 30-40 of them
a season.
You were recently made an
officer of the New Zealand
Order of Merit, what was that
like?
I actually thought it was a hoax
when I got the email. I thought
someone was having me on.
Then I read it through again
and thought oh my god. I was
really tickled about it actually.
I think it is because you are
being rewarded for something
you do, but really it’s just a
passion to me and I love doing
it so to get an award is really
amazing.
How long have you lived in
Hororata?
I have been here 22 years. I
travel to work near Christchurch
Airport every day. I actually
moved out to Hororata with my
dogs from Christchurch.
What do you like about living
there?
I look out my back window
and see the mountains. I live in a
really old cottage on quite a bit of
land, and I love my garden.
I don’t like living in the city,
it is so much quieter and more
peaceful out here. I would never
go back into town now.
Do you have any hobbies or
skills outside of conservation?
No. Well, actually I would
have to say dogs. I used to
have quite a few Alaskan
malamutes, but am dogless at
the moment. I am hoping to get
another one.
Could you tell me about your
family?
I am divorced. I moved out to
Hororata with the dogs and left
the husband in Christchurch.
I do not have any children. I
would never give up my job for
that, I made that decision when I
was at Orana Park.
I was only about 23 or 24 but
I thought no I don’t want kids I
love my job too much.

“The aim of the trial was
to gather data and assess the

a six-month operating period,

the trial.
“Staff are carrying out ongoing
analysis of the data being provided
to the council, which will
be included in the review of the
e-scooters.”
The district council has not
received any applications from
other scooter companies to operate
in Selwyn.
The e-scooters are allowed
to operate in Rolleston, Lincoln
and Prebbleton and to travel
between the towns using cycle
lanes.
What’s your view on:
A proposal to modify the
resource consent process
for work on the reinstatement
of Christ Church Cathedral
The resource consent process can be modified under the
Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Act 2017 (the Act)
by an Order in Council (Order) made by the Governor-General.
Before a final decision is made to recommend the proposed
Order to the Governor-General, the Act requires it to be
tested robustly. This includes seeking your feedback on
an explanation document that sets out:
• an explanation of what the proposal is intended to achieve;
• a description of the proposed effect of the Order; and
• an explanation of why the Minister considers that the Order
is necessary or desirable for the purpose of the Act.
Let us know your views on the explanation document
The document can be viewed and written comment made online
at www.dpmc.govt.nz/cathedraloic
Also, they are available on request from Christchurch City Council
service centres and libraries and the main office of Selwyn and
Waimakariri District Councils during normal business hours.
Anyone can make a written comment but they must
be received by: 5pm Monday, 22 June 2020.

Biodiversity to get a boost
from new wetland
A NEW wetland near Tai Tapu
aiming to create a new habitat
for native plants and animals in
the area has been completed.
Since the Covid-19 lockdown
ended, contractors have been
able to complete the final
earthworks for the wetland at
Ahuriri Lagoon which drains
into Lake Ellesmere.
Final works included the
removal of a temporary earthen
dam between the culvert
exiting the wetland and the
main channel of the Halswell
River.
This connected the wetland
with the river, making it fully
operational.
Netting installed to protect
plants from being uprooted
by pūkeko before becoming
established is still in place but
will be removed in the coming
weeks.
An Environment Canterbury
spokesman said: “Low rainfall
this year has left low water
levels in Ahuriri Lagoon and
flow in the Halswell River,
but when rain returns, the
wetland will be seen in its full
glory.”

before entering the top of the

Many of these caddisflies are
highly sensitive to agricultural
pollution and become locally
extinct, thereby impacting on
their predators, including other
invertebrates, fish and birds.
Cleaner streams such as on
Banks Peninsula can contain
over 30 species of caddisflies.
Fly fisherman are very familiar
with caddisflies as they are a
significant component of the
diet of trout and salmon, so
some artificial flies that are
manufactured are attempting to
replicate them.
The smallest Tricoptera are
microcaddisflies, or purse-case
caddisflies, measuring 5mm or
less.
By far the most common and
widespread of the two species of
microcaddisflies found in New

The adults of this species look
much like a very small moth,
but lack the scales and coiled
mouthparts.

Book sale planned
at Ellesmere College
ELLESMERE COLLEGE is
planning a book sale to try to
make up for lost fundraising
opportunities during the
Covid-19 lockdown.
Student Margarida Dias said:
“We would very much appreciate
it if everyone in our community
could help.
“Either by donating any books,
records, puzzles, DVD’s and
magazines they no longer need or
by coming along to the event.”
The book sale will be held at
the school between 2-6pm on
June 26.
Margarida said the lockdown
brought big challenges for the
school.
“The student council has barely
had an opportunity to come
together as a group, so we had to
re-think how we could operate
during the lockdown conditions.
“We started our meetings online
through Google Meets and
this worked really well for the 24
members who represent students
across all of the year levels.”
She said an important focus
for the student council this year
is creating a caring school community

“We want to continue to help
create an environment where

to come to school.
“We encourage everyone to
come along as there will be
some great bargains. All for a

wellbeing activities for the local
college.”
Donations of goods may be
delivered to Ellesmere College any
time during school hours or given
to a student to bring to school.
Alternatively, you can phone

SELWYN TIMES
Thank you for
helping your
community
Fall Zones
To all of you who have had your trees
trimmed before they became a
problem, thank you for keeping all the
farms working and families in your
community warm, happy and healthy.
We know it can be a hassle, but tree branches touching the
powerlines are one of the main causes of power cuts. So, you can
be proud of the fact that you kept the local cowsheds milking,
water pumps pumping and sheep shearers shearing. And if it’s
still on your to-do list, now’s the time to do it, as winter sets in.
You’re our priority.
Notice and Growth limit zones
B
A
Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone
66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m
33,000 volts 2.5m 3.5m
11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m
400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m
We’re not exaggerating.
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.
How close is too close?
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and
preferably the notice zone.
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to
disease or adverse weather events.
Where do I start?
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every
day or part day during which the offence continues.
More info can be found on our website and if
you have any questions or notice any trees
touching power lines in your area, please call
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.
oriongroup.co.nz
Orion operates, and maintains, the electricity distribution
network that provides power to central Canterbury.
We are always here to help if you have any questions
or concerns about the network.

Journeys through stars
and story for Matariki
Journeys through the stars and stories will be at the heart of Matariki celebrations in Selwyn.
Matariki is the traditional Māori new year celebration, observed in July, when the constellation
of Matariki rises in the dawn sky. It is a time for whānau to come together, to remember those
who have passed away in the last year and to celebrate the dawn of a new mahinga kai (food
and natural resource) season. With the kūmara recently harvested it was also a time of feasting,
celebrating and wānanga (learning).
For Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki, the local people of Taumutu, the kūmara harvest is even more significant
as Taumutu is the southernmost point where kūmara was grown in Aotearoa New Zealand. This
year Matariki will be marked on 13 July, but celebrations will be held surrounding that date.
To mark Matariki in Selwyn there will be a special visit from Manu, a digital guide who will take
people on a walk through the maramataka or the Māori lunar calendar. Using a smartphone app
‘The Journeys of Manu’ will see virtual guide Manu tell the story of the maramataka as people
walk along a path with way points in Foster Park and along the Liffey in Lincoln. The Journeys of
Manu app can be downloaded from arajourneys.com/journeys-of-manu-maramataka.
The Journeys of Manu will be available from Monday 6 to Sunday 19 July.
The Council will also provide a star guide, put together by volunteers from the West Melton
Observatory, so children and parents can study the night sky and learn about the constellations,
planets and moons. This will be available from Council facilities.
Selwyn libraries will hold story times at the libraries from Tuesday 7 to Friday 10 July. There will
also be a star hunt quiz with prizes available at each of the Selwyn Libraries and the Council
recreation centres, and an online kite-making tutorial.
A message from the Mayor
As we reach a new milestone in New Zealand from the impacts of COVID-19, Mayor Sam Broughton
has shared a message reflecting on the past months.
We did it – and when I say we, I mean Team Selwyn.
No part of our community was untouched by the effects of COVID-19 and every one of us played our part
in getting through the most extraordinary three months in New Zealand’s modern history.
From the outset our Council stuck to a simple plan—keep essential services going, respond to
immediate needs and look out for the vulnerable.
While we were busy keeping on top of these basics, our community pulled out all the stops. I was
humbled by the countless acts of kindness, ingenuity and compassion shown in Level 3 and 4. A great
example was local vegetable farmer Allen Lim inviting volunteers to pick excess stock for food banks.
He has now offered a section of his property where he will grow vegetables exclusively for foodbanks
on an ongoing basis
Reflecting the gargantuan community effort, our Community Response Teams mail dropped information
on support services to over 1500 isolated members of our community, and our welfare team called
3000 vulnerable people across Canterbury to see if there was anything they needed. Much needed food
parcels were delivered and we manned a 24/7 help line.
As we all become more reliant in the internet our library staff called
their over-70s members to check in on them and offer support with
online services. We are all ‘Zoom experts’ now.
As a Council we rapidly adapted, setting up online tools and other ways
to keep services going. We learnt many lessons from this experience
that help us deliver a better service to you. I urge you to do the same.
As we pick up the pieces, it is evident that there is still much hardship
to come. The impact on our households and businesses is still not
fully understood. We will continue to do all we can to support those in
need. You can do your bit by supporting local, that’s what I’ll be doing
for the foreseeable future.
Selwyn rates increase cut to
1.6% average
The Council has signalled it expects to cut its rates increase from an
average 3.5% to around 1.6% for the 2020/21 year, starting from 1
July 2020.
The Council completed deliberations on its draft Annual Plan last
week and indicated it had identified net savings of $1.7 million,
which will be used to reduce the level of the rates increase.
The draft Annual Plan, developed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic,
initially proposed an average rates increase of 3.5%. A revised
plan was issued for consultation in April, and the Council asked for
community feedback on options for reducing the rates increase.
Savings identified during the consultation process include deferring
a number of new building projects, streamlining some planning
work, and removing township and ward discretionary funds from the
coming year’s budgets.
Refurbishment work at the Council’s Rolleston offices will also be
deferred, and catering at Council meetings will be stopped. There
will be no increase in staffing numbers this year, other than those
required for new facilities currently under construction. There will
also be no funding for staff salary increases. Council chief executive
David Ward had already confirmed he will take a 15% salary
reduction for the coming 12 months.
Most requests for unbudgeted new funding in the coming year will
not be accommodated at this stage, and several projects will be
reconsidered under the Long-Term Plan process next year.
The expected 1.6% rates increase is an average across the district.
The actual increase will vary according to different property types
and the services provided. The range of increases is expected to
vary between 1.4% for urban residential properties (around $1 a
week) and 3.2% for some larger rural properties. The Council has
also put in place a rates assistance package to help people affected
by COVID-19, including an extended rates payment period and
reduced penalty fees.
The final plan, including confirmed budget and rates proposals, will
be considered by the Council for adoption on Wednesday 24 June.
Demolition of Lincoln
building begins
Work will begin next week on the demolition of the Lincoln Chinese
Takeaway building on Gerald Street.
The building at 5 Gerald Street is being removed as the first step in
opening up the retail area and transforming the street appeal for the
Lincoln Town Centre upgrade.
The work was due to take place at the end of March, but had to
be delayed due to the Alert Level 4 lockdown. Work to prepare
the building for demolition is due to begin on Thursday 25 June is
expected to be completed by Friday 7 August.
The demolition will also allow further developments in this area to
occur more easily during the Lincoln Town Centre upgrade, which is
scheduled to start in 2023, and allow any developments to remain in
keeping with the rest of the town centre design.
A traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of the
demolition works. Car parks directly in front of the building will
also be closed during the work for safety reasons and for use by
the contractors. Pedestrian access to the adjacent businesses will
be maintained.
A specialist team will safely remove asbestos from the building during
July before the demolition itself starts on 27 July. New Zealand has
strict laws for safe removal and this team will be working to the
Worksafe New Zealand Code of Practice for the management and
removal of asbestos and a site specific safety plan.

Helping others follow in her footsteps
Continuing our series celebrating the Faces of Selwyn. Visit selwyn.govt.nz/facesofselwyn for the full story.
Sheetal Sharma always loved everything about New Zealand. She worked as an education consultant
in India promoting study options in New Zealand until she convinced herself and her husband to study
there too.
“He was planning for higher studies in the US, but I convinced him to come to New Zealand because of
the Kiwi lifestyle and friendly people.
"I just want to live a life in a country where you are close to nature, because I come from a busy city
with lots of traffic and people. The total population of New Zealand is the total population of my city.”
The pair arrived in Invercargill in 2012 and worked in Wellington and Auckland, before moving to
Christchurch in 2017.
Arriving in Christchurch, Sheetal was pregnant with her first child and they went searching for their first
family home. After a visit to friends in Rolleston the couple decided it was the place to be.
Fortunately, the property next door was for sale and they snatched it up.
Sheetal works full time with international students at Lincoln University, helping them to settle into the
new country and supporting their academic needs.
“I understand the challenges of new migrants and I really like to help them. It doesn’t matter if they
come from India, China or any other country; I feel that they have the same challenges in settling in, the
language barrier or the cultural shock, or homesickness – which is why I took up this job.”
Growing up in Hyderabad, in southern India, she lived with her
extended family and her husband under the same roof and had lots
of domestic help that took care of needs around the house. Listening,
reading and watching the news helped her to adapt, she says.
By attending many cultural activities, visiting the temple for prayers
and cooking biryani rice Sheetal stays connected to her culture.
She spends most of her free time with her three-year-old daughter
Arnika who loves feeding the ducks at the pond near their home.

NZI Rural Women NZ
Business Awards open
Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ)
and Premier Partner NZI are excited to
launch the NZI Rural Women NZ Business
Awards 2020.
“The Awards are a great opportunity to
showcase the creativity and innovation
of rural women entrepreneurs and how
they support rural communities with their
businesses,” says National President Fiona
Gower.
“We are especially pleased that NZI will
be joining as Premier Partner again this
year.
“We recognise that it has been an
incredibly tough time for many New
Zealanders and that makes it even more
relevant to celebrate the resilience of these
women-owned and operated businesses by
holding these Awards this year.
“There has never been a better time to
celebrate and support local businesses.
“Many of these businesses have grown
because a rural woman has identified a
need in their family or community and
they have developed their skills and
knowledge to bring these businesses to life.
“These business owners employ local
people as their businesses grow and
also support other local businesses and
suppliers which in turn, creates more
opportunities in those local communities
and economies.
“As a result of the Covid-19 virus
this year the judges will specifically be
considering the resilience, innovation and
adaptability of the entrants’ businesses as
part of the judging criteria.
“We want to encourage rural women
who own and/or operate rural businesses
to enter the Awards this year so that we
can support and promote them, and
celebrate their entrepreneurial journeys.
“If you are a rural woman in business,
enter. If you know a rural woman in
business, encourage her to enter.
Entries close on Friday, 31 July at
5pm. For details on how to enter and
the Award categories, visit: https://
ruralwomennz.nz/home/nzi-ruralwomen-new-zealand-business-awards/
“
Take it from last year’s
Rural Champion, Kate
Taylor, who said that
the process of entering
is just as valuable as
the reward so don’t
hold back – just enter

Good winter grazing
practices urged as
cold weather closes in
The Winter Grazing Action Group
says farmers are taking steps to improve
wintering systems despite the challenges
of COVID-19 restrictions and weather
events.
Action group chair Dr Lindsay Burton
said it was important everyone worked
together to ensure farmers had the right
tools to get through winter.
“Ensuring you follow a gradual
transition plan when moving your
animals from pasture to crop and back
again will help prevent issues. This is
particularly important for cattle wintered
on fodderbeet,” says Dr Burton.
“For farmers, the focus heading into
winter should be on providing the right
feed at the right time, as well as shelter
and easy access to drinking water. Doing
this should have the flow-on effect of
limiting stock movement and help reduce
damage to crop and soil.”
Farmers and rural professionals should
refer to the levy organisations websites
– Beef+LambNZ, DairyNZ & Deer
Industry NZ. They have advice on good
winter grazing practices and specific
recommendations for transitioning stock
onto crop and balancing the diet which
differs between the species.
During the lockdown period, Dr
Burton says the action group has
remained committed to progressing its
work to improve wintering practices,
meeting virtually to keep up the
momentum.
“We recognise the good work that
has already been done by farmers
throughout New Zealand but particularly
in Southland, to improve their wintering
systems. The fact that everyone has been
so proactive, in spite of the challenges
they have faced with adverse weather
events and COVID-19 restrictions,
should be applauded.”
Following a nationwide anti-grazing
campaign which highlighted some
Southland cows standing in mud,
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor
set up a taskforce which undertook a
review of current practices and made 11
recommendations to be taken forward
by the pan-sector Winter Grazing Action
Group.
The recommendations, which
included some work to understand and
mitigate the causes of the animal welfare
consequences from intensive winter
grazing practices; and work to recognise
the barriers to adopting improved animal
welfare practices, have been taken up by
the action group with gusto, Taskforce
chair Dr John Hellström says.
“Improving winter grazing systems
is not something that can be achieved
overnight but the action group is on
the right track and I’m confident that
the recommendations the taskforce
made are being progressed to ensure
improvements for this winter and
beyond.”
The action group is focussed
on educating farmers on careful
management when introducing stock to
new feed types and ensuring contingency
plans are in place to manage any severe
or prolonged wet winter weather.
In the short-term, Burton says there
are actions farmers can take now to
ensure the immediate welfare of their
animals, including making appropriate
shelter available when needed as well as
suitable areas for stock to lie down.
“That could be as simple as planning to
graze the best sheltered paddock last, and
keeping it ‘up your sleeve’ for a weather
event.
“Changing practice will take a long
time; this is not a one-winter solution but
we will keep working with farmers and
sector leaders to improve things now and
in the future.”

It’s a good time
to own a home
Copper Ridge showhome - 1 Albert Wills Ave.
Current market conditions are particularly
favourable to home ownership. Interest rates are at
their lowest for some time and there are a number of
incentives available for first home buyers.
Now is a good time to enter the housing market,
to increase the equity in your home by paying more
principal off your mortgage, or to trade up.
Government restrictions on the loan-to-value ratio
(LVR) have recently been eased, giving banks the
ability to lend to people with a lower deposit. First
home buyers also have the capacity to draw down
their KiwiSaver funds, and to apply for a Government
HomeStart Grant. Add to this, the low interest rates,
and there may never have been a better time to move
from renting to realising the dream of owning a
home. More financial support may also be available to
first home buyers who build new.
The team at Generation Homes are very
experienced in assisting first home buyers, guiding
them through the process and determining what is
right for their needs.
Generation Homes’ owners, Evan and Nadja Beker
are committed to ensuring their clients have a positive
experience. Clients are included throughout the build
and their Sales Consultant keeps them informed as
the build progresses. Their expertise and customer
focus is the reason they have hundreds of satisfied
clients.
A full design service is part of the Generation
Homes’ package, along with assistance in the choice
of fixtures and fittings, and services of a Colour
Consultant.
Generation Homes offers peace of mind with a fully
fixed price contract and guaranteed build time so
clients know exactly what their new home will cost,
and when they will move in.
A complete package with no surprises is part of the
Generation Homes’ experience. From the land to the
building of the home, kitchen appliances, fixtures and
fittings, hard landscaping like paths and driveway,
clothesline and letterbox, all are included in the
quoted price. There is also the capacity to have the
soft landscaping of lawns and garden beds completed.
Many extra features are part of Generation Homes’
standard specifications, like: a RibRaft foundation
ensuring the most solid foundation available; solid
external building wrap, which adds rigidity to the
home with less movement and helps reduce future
maintenance; architraves and coving; and tiled
windowsills in high traffic areas.
Home ownership provides financial security,
something which is even more important in these
unprecedented times. Generation Homes can help
you have your own brand new, three bedroom home
in a well-serviced community with good schooling,
for as little as $450,000. To learn more, visit: www.

SELWYN TIMES Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Wednesday June 17 2020 29
Front
An open letter to the residents of Selwyn,
I’m writing to introduce myself and seek your support in electing me as your next Member of Parliament.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it has caused, Selwyn needs an
experienced, energetic, empathetic representative - and we urgently need to return to a National
Government to get New Zealand working again.
I’ve worked as journalist and an export trade specialist, a communications manager for large tourism
companies and a jack of all trades for small start ups. I grew up on a sheep and beef farm here in this
region and I spent nearly four years working for the previous National Government - three years as Press
Secretary to Rt Hon Sir Bill English as Minister of Finance and as Prime Minister.
All those experiences have taught me how crucial it is for our families and businesses to be
supported with frameworks that allow them to get ahead.
With our current local MP Amy Adams moving from Selwyn to the National Party list, our electorate
needs another strong voice in Parliament to continue advocating for the critical infrastructure and
investment our rapidly growing communities need to realise our ambition.
It would be my privilege to serve you.
Kind regards
Nicola Grigg
National Party Candidate for Selwyn

I love this region. I was born and raised on our family farm in
Mt Somers - I grew up here and am proud to call it home.
My whole family farm in this district - from the Rakaia Gorge, down to the foothills,
and out across the Canterbury plains.
I’ve been immersed in farming and politics most of my life - I am the great granddaughter
of the MP for Ashburton, Major Arthur Grigg and his wife Mary Grigg –
who later became National’s first female MP following the death of her husband in
Africa during the second World War.

In my most recent role as a trade specialist at New Zealand Trade and Enterprise
I’ve been given some real insights into how business owners in this electorate are
coping in the current economic environment.
I care deeply about the sustainable conservation of our natural environment and,
in my spare time, spend as much of it as I can in Selwyn’s great outdoors hiking,
running, riding and skiing.

Back
In my view the biggest impact of Covid-19 on Selwyn
communities has been economic - unemployment
is expected to jump to 7.1 per cent, there’s been
an alarming 48% increase in people applying for
job seeker benefits and recent Infometrics data
confirmed our local economy will contract by around
5 per cent in the next year, coupled with the loss of
over 2000 jobs.
This is especially concerning given Selwyn has
historically been something of a national economic
powerhouse, with a GDP at twice that of the rest of
the country and unemployment at half the rate.
That is why I so firmly believe we absolutely must
return to National’s proven formula of economic
management. Now, more than ever, we need to
deliver a message of hope and ambition to New
Zealanders by offering practical, solutions-driven
policy and ideas - as only National can.
With just three months to go until the 2020 General
Election, I will be working tirelessly to earn your vote so
that we can return to the kind of leadership that will
allow Selwyn to grow and thrive.
I will be out and about in the electorate every day
and I look forward to meeting you. Please feel free to
contact me at any time.

Managing the
mortgage
The Covid-19 lockdown has led to
some people experiencing financial
hardship.
Local mortgage broker, Ricky Rhodes
says a key to managing debt is talking to
your broker or bank.
“Everyone’s circumstances are
different so it’s important to get
individual advice. There are a range
of options available to assist people
who are finding it hard to meet their
mortgage commitments,” advises Ricky.
Support packages are generally
tailored to the needs of individual
borrowers. Options range from
restructuring a mortgage to deferring
or minimising payments, like paying
interest only for a period of time.
Restructuring a loan, means those
who have the capacity can still work
at decreasing the principal component
of their mortgage, along with making
interest payments. Lower repayments
will extend the length of a mortgage.
Mortgage deferment allows mortgage
repayments to be suspended for up to
six months. The amount owed will be
higher in six months’ time, than would
otherwise be the case, had the mortgage
holiday not been taken. The advantage
of this option, is it allows people time to
work out their finances.
Where finances are particularly
tight, interest only payments can be
made. The loan balance will not change
so more time will be added to the
mortgage.
Where only one partner’s income
has been affected, rather than choosing
interest only payments, it might be
more financially viable to make at least
some payment off the principal as well.
Ricky reminds: “Every situation is
different. The most important thing
is for people to get through the now,
understanding the options available.”
Where it is possible, he encourages
people to pay more than the minimum
amount off their mortgage so when
situations like unemployment occur,
their payments can easily be adjusted
back to the minimum required.
“Paying your mortgage off as quickly
as possible, reduces the interest expense
of your mortgage and overall cost of
purchasing your home,” advises Ricky.
“Maintaining a habit of paying more
also creates future opportunities such
as the chance to upscale your home.”
Home ownership provides financial
security and the opportunity to
increase your asset base whereas
continually borrowing against a
mortgage for holidays and other
consumables simply increases the
principal owing over time. The aim
should be to purchase a property
within your means rather than
set your expectations too high
and over-extend your financial
position by stretching the budget
too far.
“With interest rates so low, it is
a good time to pay off your own
home rather than paying off the
landlord’s loan,” says Ricky who
admits he enjoys helping people
buy a home.

broker, Ricky Rhodes.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Rolleston’s
Falcon’s Landing has released stage 5.
residential
growth
Eastonfield, sections 550-748sqm.
For some years, land has been
opening up for residential development
throughout the district. While housing
subdivisions have popped up in
Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln, West Melton
and Southbridge, the most extensive
growth has been in Rolleston.
Pockets of land have been re-zoned
residential on an almost continual basis,
offering options on section sizes and
locations for people who are looking to
build a new home. Development and
the sale of lots has progressed at such
a speed that as quickly as stages in new
subdivision are released the sections are
sold.
Along Springston-Rolleston Road,
a few sections remain in Branthwaite.
At Falcon’s Landing, stage five has now
been released. The four previous stages
of the planned total 600 sections, which
range from 430-1,000sqm and start at
$158,000, are nearly all sold.
Bordering the Lincoln-Rolleston Road
a number of new housing subdivisions
have risen from the paddocks. Across
from Rolleston College, Urban Estates
has a prime location, close to the town’s
amenities, perhaps explaining why
there are only a few lots still available.
In the smaller Eastonfield next door,
sections range from 550 to 748sqm with
a starting price of $180,500.
At The Borough (across from and
part of the Faringdon development)
land options are between 488sqm
and 550sqm, priced from $165,000.
In Acland Park, lots range from 400-
1,000sqm and begin at $155,000.
Urban Estates has another
subdivision, Fairbairn, on Fairbairn
Road. This will ultimately link up with
Goulds Road, along which the housing
development of Goulds Estate offers
house and land packages. Nearby on
East Maddisons Road, sections are now
being sold at Olivefields.
In West Rolleston, the very last
sections of Stonebrook, Newman Park
and Maddisons Park are for sale.
To the east, a small pocket of land has
opened up in Park Lane while the larger
blocks in the eco-friendly emphasis
Coles Fields, have been ticking away.
Affordability is a key influencer in
attracting people to Rolleston. Section
prices come in around $50,000 to
$100,000 less than for an equivalent
size in the city. Land prices in Rolleston
are generally comparable with little
variance in price. There is also a good
number of house and land packages
available.
Retirees too, are now catered for
in Rolleston with the Mary Brittan
Lifestyle Village, developed by Mike
Greer Homes, The Boulevard and
Woodcroft Estate.
Urban Estates has a prime location.
