meeting 

with tradies 

to prevent 

building site 

burglaries 

• By Devon Bolger 

HOUSES UNDER construction 

in the district are now the main 

target for burglars. 

Police say about two burglaries 

are being committed each week – 

more than occupied houses and 

commercial premises. 

Said Senior 

Sergeant Dean 

Harker: “It 

is not a large 

number but 

it is a cost to 

the building 

companies and 

the clients.” Dean Harker 

Police are 

holding a meeting with building 

companies next week to tell them 

how properties under construction 

can be protected. 

Toilets, baths and vanity units 

are the main items being taken. 

Burglaries have increased since 

the lifting of the lockdown. 

“The key messages are ensuring 

properties are secure, builders 

gear and appliances are kept out 

of sight and identifiable where 

possible in case they are stolen,” 

said Senior Sergeant Harker.

Full steam ahead 

for 150th Selwyn Spring Show 


THE SELWYN Spring Show 

will go ahead this year in spite of 

the New Zealand Agricultural 

Show being cancelled. 

Ellesmere A&P Association 

president Andrew Benny said 

they think it will be bigger this 

year due to the cancellation 

of the New 

Zealand 

Agricultural 

Show held in 

Christchurch. 

“Also the 

fact that it 

is our 150th 

Andrew Benny 

celebration 

this year. 

There will be more stallholders 

and spots will fill fast. 

“There will also be a higher 

density of historic and vintage 

displays due to the 150th-year.” 

The spring show usually attracts 

a crowd of about 12,000 

people. 

“We are expecting that to be 

surpassed this year all things going 

to plan from here on in.” 

The New Zealand Agricultural 

Show, which was due to be held 

in November, was cancelled last 

VINTAGE: The Selwyn Spring Show is going ahead this year 

and celebrating its 150th anniversary. Clydesdales will once 

again be on display. 

month due to the uncertainty 

posed by the Covid-19 crisis. 

It is the first time it has not 

been held since World War 2. 

Mr Benny said the committee 

thought long and hard about all 

the implications of going ahead 

this year and put the decision off 

for as long as possible. 

“We consulted various 

interested parties and came 

away confident that going ahead 

with the show was the right 

thing to do.” 

comedy night 

He said the show brings in 

not just local residents but the 

wider regional and national 

community. 

“With the cancellation of the 

New Zealand Agricultural Show, 

we are especially excited about 

the prospect of offering a really 

grass roots showcase of local 

agriculture and all its associated 

activities. 

“Of course, not to mention 

celebrating the marvellous history 

of this institution in New 

Zealand. The show will be a big 

boost to local businesses and an 

enjoyable return to normality for 

our community.” 

Special events for this year’s 

show include feature classes reflecting 

history across the stock 

sections. 

The clydesdale class has 

been reintroduced in the 

horse section. History and 

vintage items will be on display 

by the Ellesmere Historical 

Society. 

The wearable arts competition 

will also have a historic theme. 

•The Selwyn Spring Show 

will be held at the Ellesmere 

Showgrounds on October 17.

HOUSE FIRE INJURY 

A person suffered moderate 

injuries after a house fire near 

Leeston early on Thursday 

morning. Six fire crews attended 

the blaze at a property on 

Leeston Rd, halfway between 

Lincoln and Leeston, which 

broke out about 12.30am. A Fire 

and Emergency NZ spokesman 

said on arrival, the fire was 

discovered to have spread from 

the switchboard up into the 

roof, and crews extinguished it 

by about 2am. One person who 

suffered smoke inhalation was 

transported to hospital by St 

John and later discharged. 

HIGHWAY CLOSURE U-TURN 

The NZ Transport Agency has 

done a U-turn on its plan to 

close Arthur’s Pass to drivers on 

days when snow and ice need 

to be cleared. Under the new 

system, State Highway 73 across 

the Southern Alps would remain 

closed while ice and snow were 

cleared. A petition with about 

20,000 signatures was launched 

asking for the new rule to be 

revoked. An NZTA spokesman 

said the “chains essential” 

category would be reinstated for 

winter conditions on SH73 when 

required.

Water renewals for the ward 

($370,000). 

Wastewater upgrades and renewals 

($646,000). 

Some of the projects outlined 

in the 2020/21 draft Annual Plan 

have been carried forward from 

the 2019/20 financial year. 

As part of the plan, the district 

council consulted on rates options 

for this year in a bid to ease financial 

pressure on residents. 

It was decided that rates will 

increase by about 1.6 per cent, 

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. 

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 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. 

THERE HAVE been a record 

number of building consent 

applications for the district since 

the lockdown ended. 

The district council was receiving 

an average of around 220 

new building consents a month 

prior to Covid-19. 

Following the end of the 

lockdown, it received 258 applications 

in May and is on track 

to reach that number again this 

month. 

District council building 

manager Vanessa Mitchell says 

the consent team has also gone 

from carrying out 1400 building 

inspections a month to about 

1600 inspections in May, 

“That is around 80 a day and 

it’s been getting busier in June, 

with the numbers looking like 

they could top 1800 inspections 

by the end of the month.” 

Over 60 per cent of all applications 

have been for new buildings, 

she says. 

The district council continued 

to receive and process consents 

through all alert levels with 

digital and some on-site 

inspections able to take place for 

SURGE: 

The number 

of building 

consents 

was up to 

about 1600 

inspections in 

May and it has 

been getting 

busier this 

month. 

Large numbers of building applications 

the start of level 3. 

“The team has cleared all its 

consents from the lockdown and 

has been supported by staff from 

Napier City Council but the level 

of demand means some consent 

processing times may be slower 

than usual. 

“We’ve been able at this stage 

to keep to our commitment of 

a 48-hour turnaround from 

booking to us carrying out 

inspections. We’re doing our 

best to keep up, but people may 

see some slippage in the time 

frames,” Mrs Mitchell says. 

Water heater, 

dehumidifier and 

whiteware have 

been stolen 

•From page 1 

“We will also cover what 

type of alarms can be used 

and answer questions around 

insurance, who is liable and 

things like that.” 

He said the main reason for the 

meeting is to try to cut down the 

opportunities for burglars. 

Earlier this month, a 

dehumidifier and water heater 

were taken from a house under 

construction in on Billy T Lane in 

Rolleston. 

Last month $10,000 worth of 

new appliances were stolen from a 

house being built in Lincoln. 

An induction cooktop, 

dishwasher, microwave, oven, 

Insinkerator, rangehood and 

tapware was stolen from the home 

being constructed on Whitehorn 

Drive. 

The offenders also stole a 

gardener’s trailer parked on 

the roadside nearby, using it to 

transport the whiteware.

Love, Learn and Play 

the Freckles way! 

OPENING OCTOBER 2020 

Freckles Early Learning Centre is a brand new purposebuilt, 

spacious facility in Rolleston with the best and 

latest pedagogical experiences. Freckles is built on a 

massive 3500m2 site and is licensed for only 70 children 

centre-wide. 

When owners Tracy and Gavin Summerfield were approached 

by the developer of Falcons Landing, Rolleston to build 

another centre, they thought long and hard about it. They 

had observed a number of new centres opening in recent 

years but most seemed to be concentrating on larger licences 

with smaller sites. So they decided they would do something 

different. Freckles has been designed with children in mind, 

with spacious indoor and outdoor areas, enabling children to 

explore, identify, negotiate, take risks and create meaning to 

learn about the world around them. 

Freckles will operate three stage and age appropriate 

rooms employing qualified teachers in all environments. 

Tracy says their success with the couple’s The Cat’s Pyjamas 

Rolleston and West Melton early learning centres is built 

on having the best possible staff and this will continue at 

Freckles. “We are committed to staffing the new centre with 

qualified, passionate and caring people who believe in our 

vision, values and philosophy. We know they will have relevant 

skills and experience, that they will bring something unique 

to our team, and that they will put the children in their care 

before anything else.” 

The Freckles vision: creating places that are rich in love, 

laughter and learning. 

“Every decision we make comes from the heart,” Tracy 

adds. “Our aim is to provide beautiful spaces that are full of 

happy, nurtured and challenged children, where the wonder 

of learning thrives.’ “To us, family is everything. We are 

passionate about creating early learning centres that offer a 

safe, welcoming and nurturing environment”. 

Freckles Early Learning Centre provides space and 

opportunity for physical play. 

Play is valuable for children’s physical development as 

they run, climb, skip, hop, jump, throw and catch. Physical 

play helps build on children’s fine and gross motor skills, 

and having the space to provide swings, bike tracks, fixed 

and moveable play equipment is very important for child 

development. 

YOU ARE WARMLY INVITED to follow our journey as 

Freckles develops and becomes part of the Rolleston 

community.

“It’s about the AV and lighting

importantly for our music fans

Theo shocked at Bloomfield response 


WHEN 12-year-old Theo Alp 

sent Dr Ashley Bloomfield a 

letter he was not expecting a 

hand-written response. 

The West Rolleston School 

pupil wrote the director-general

Dr Bloomfield has been largely

Theo

he received

“I wasn’t

was a letter from the Ministry

freaked out.” 

In his response, Dr Bloomfield 

said: “Thank you very much for 

your letter and the very kind 

words. I was fortunate to be working 

with such a fantastic team. 

“All the very best to you and

School pupil Theo Alp was 

shocked to receive a response 

to the letter he sent to Dr 

Ashley Bloomfield. 

was tasked with writing a letter 

of gratitude to a person he felt 

thankful for. 

“I chose Dr Ashley Bloomfield 

because lots of people were writing 

to Jacinda Ardern and to 

the Rolleston Medical Centre 

or some of our teachers and 

I wanted to pick somebody 

different who other people might 

not think to thank. 

“I told him that he had ultimate 

bragging rights but he is 

very humble. I honestly think he 

is trying the best that he can and 

we are really grateful.” 

Theo’s teacher Katie Talbot 

said: “Gratitude is a massive 

part of our school model of 

health and well being so we 

wanted to pass on the gratitude 

that we felt for making it 

through the lockdown safely. 

“Theo’s letter was really 

nice and it was great he got 

a response.” 

Dear Theo, 

Thank you very much for your letter and 

the very kind words. 

I was fortunate to be working with such a 

fantastic team, they all worked so hard to 

protect New Zealanders. 

Of course, Kiwis also did what was asked of 

them through the lockdown and now we are 

in a very good position. 

All the best to you and the teachers and 

students at West Rolleston School. 

Thanks to you all for doing your bit for 

Aotearoa/NZ. 

Take Care, Ashley.

GENEROUS: Lincoln High School year 11 social studies students 

are attempting what they call the school’s biggest food drive yet. 

Students organise 

massive food drive 

LINCOLN HIGH school is 

attempting to fill a trailer load 

of donated goods to give to the 

Christchurch City Mission. 

The school is asking not only 

students to help with their mission 

but the wider community as 

well. 

About 700 donated items 

were collected from students on 

Wednesday last week. 

A drop-off point was also set 

up for the community at Lincoln 

New World on Saturday. 

The initiative is being led by 

the year 11 social studies class 

with help from the school’s services 

council. 

The idea came from the 

increased demand food banks 

around the country are reporting 

since Covid-19. 

As well as the usual cans 

and non-perishable food 

items, the school is also asking 

for donations of food for full 

meals. 

Teacher Lana Werahiko said 

they will also be confidentially 

delivering the food to people in 

need within the community. 

“Covid-19 has been hard on 

many in our community and 

these young people are wanting 

to support all of Canterbury 

by donating these goods to the 

Christchurch City Mission.” 

The donated items which are 

expected to be dropped off this 

week. 

GROUNDWORK: Work on the Rolleston health hub is progressing with concrete 

foundations poured last week. District council property group manager Douglas Marshall 

said the ground floor slab will be poured in three stages. The first pour was completed last 

Wednesday and the second is due on July 1. The final pour is expected on or around July 

15. Precast concrete panels are expected to arrive at the site today. Major structural steel 

elements will start to arrive in late August 2020. The $14.8 million facility is being built on 

land directly opposite the district council offices, next to the St John ambulance base. 

New 

entrant 

Esther Burns has started 

at Leeston Primary School 

after turning five during 

the Covid-19 lockdown. 

GOOD CAUSE: Goods donated from the students and the 

wider community will be packed into a trailer and presented to 

the Christchurch City Mission.

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Midwifery delivers new 

direction for young mum 

Shelley Tweedie’s decision to become 

a midwife came from a desire to create a 

secure future for herself and her young 

daughter. 

After high school she had a string of jobs 

including working at a printing company, 

as a weighbridge operator and doing youth 

and mental health work, but nothing felt 

like the right fit. “I just basically got to a 

point in my life where I needed to create 

some stability,” she explains. 

Shelley became “really passionate and 

driven” about a career as a midwife. 

She chose to study at Ara Institute 

of Canterbury for its flexible degree 

programme which is delivered using 

a blend of online modules, tutorials 

and two-week block ‘intensives’ at its 

impressive new health training facilities in 

central Christchurch. 

“It really worked for me as the mother 

of a 2-year-old. I was able to learn at my 

own pace and schedule it into times that 

worked around my family. You need good 

support systems around you though - like 

people who can pick the kids up if you 

can’t, financial and emotional support and 

positive energy in your personal life. It’s a 

demanding course, so passion and support 

are key to getting through the challenging 

times.” 

Shelley especially liked the practical 

focus at Ara. “It’s totally necessary to read 

and learn about something, but it makes a 

lot more sense when you experience it in 

real life. Studying for exams was made a lot 

easier because we all had stories from our 

practical experiences that we could share 

and discuss with each other.” 

During her studies, Shelley consistently 

achieved excellent grades and gained 

exceptional feedback from the midwives 

she worked with in clinical practice. 

Now a qualified midwife, Shelley is 

justifiably proud of what she’s achieved. “I 

had never strived for anything academic 

in my life before. The fact that I’ve proven 

to myself that I can achieve what I put 

my mind to has been one of the biggest 

personal highlights for me.” 

If you’re looking for a new direction,

New primary school likely to 

include technology centre 


A NEW Rolleston 

primary school is 

expected to be the home 

of a technology centre for 

year 7 and 8 pupils in the 

township. 

The need for a technology 

facility in Rolleston 

was initially set out in the 

Ministry of Education’s 

Canterbury National Education 

Growth Plan 2030. 

At a meeting today, 

district councillors 

will vote to approve 

rezoning the site, within 

the north-eastern corner 

of the Acland Park subdivision, 

for education 

purposes. 

In a report which will 

be presented at the meeting, 

it says the Ministry 

of Education is seeking to 

establish a primary school 

for year 0 to 8 pupils, an 

early childhood centre for 

about 50 children and a 

SELWYN TIMES 

specialist hub associated 

with a technology centre 

for about 130 pupils. 

“This hub will serve 

contributing schools in 

the wider area, catering 

principally for year 7-8 

students.” 

The school will be the 

third new primary school 

for the area joining West 

Rolleston School which 

opened in 2016 and 

Lemonwood Grove School 

which opened in 2017. 

An event to showcase local businesses in the 

district drew a big crowd in Lincoln on Sunday. 

Selwyn Revival organiser and Eden Chiropractic 

staff member Jamie Schwass said about 

1200 people attended the event which had 

entertainment for children such as bouncy castles 

and farm animals and gave the 28 businesses an 

opportunity to show what they have to offer. The idea behind the event was 

to support businesses suffering from the effects of Covid-19. “People came 

out, supported local businesses and spent money which is great, that is 

what we wanted,” Mr Schwass said. 

Pony rides 

and bouncy 

castles were 

just some of the 

things on offer 

at the Selwyn 

Revival event 

which aimed to 

showcase local 

businesses.

Irwell bull sells 

for $60,000 

• By David Hill 

WHAT A difference a day 

makes. 

Andrew and Anna Laing 

admit they were a little 

apprehensive about hosting 

their annual on-farm 

bull sale amid Covid-19 

restrictions at their Irwell 

farm. 

But they need not have 

worried as the sale turned 

out to be the day New Zealand 

moved to level 1 and 

one of their sudeley angus 

bulls sold for a whopping 

$60,000. 

“It’s very pleasing. We 

didn’t really have any idea 

with Covid-19, we didn’t 

know what was going to 

happen,” Mr Laing said. 

“He’s quite 

unique, because 

he’s nearly 

perfect and he 

had very good 

paperwork,” 

he said of the 

$60,000 bull. 

The bull was 

bought by Duncan 

Campbell, of 

Earnscleugh Station, 

in Central Otago. 

“To be fair, he’s the one 

with excellent phenotype 

as well as data, so when 

you see him, you’ve got 

to get him. His great 

phenotype, he’s got muscle 

everywhere, beautiful 

shouldering, great feet, 

he’s put together properly 

and he’s got a bit of data 

to go with him. He’s really 

WORK WILL begin on 

the demolition of the 

Lincoln Chinese Takeaway 

building on Gerald St 

tomorrow. 

The building 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. 

The demolition is expected 

to be completed by 

August 7 and cost $52,500. 

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 for safety 

reasons but pedestrian 

access to the adjacent businesses 

will still be in place.

what we’re looking for,” Mr 

Campbell said. 

A second sudeley angus 

bull sold for $32,000 and 

both bulls were 

of exceptional 

quality, Mr 

Laing said. 

“Once again 

he had very 

similar paperwork 

and he’s 

a very sound 

bull.” 

Rural Livestock 

Canterbury 

livestock manager Donald 

Cooke said it had been 

a challenging bull sale 

season with Covid-19 

restrictions. 

While online bidding 

has been available, there 

was nothing better for 

farmers than being able to 

view a bull in person. 

“With bulls, sires in 

particular, people still 

spokesman said: “The 

demolition will allow 

further developments in 

the 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.” 

The district council paid 

want to see the bulls for 

themselves and pick on 

type as well as on paper. 

“The high-price bulls 

today, those guys who 

bought these bulls have 

been here and seen those 

bulls prior to today.” 

Overall it had been a 

strong season, in spite 

of the challenges with 

drought and Covid-19, he 

said. 

“Up until now the results 

have been very good in 

spite of what everyone has 

been through in the last 

few months with the negativity 

and the pressures 

put on and the drought,” 

he said. 

“Just because they’re 

having a tough season this 

year, they’re not shutting 

up shop, they’re still 

investing in good genetics, 

which is good to see.”

Demolition to start tomorrow 

PROGRESS: The demolition of 5 Gerald St will take 

until August and is the first step in the Lincoln Town 

Centre upgrade. 

$300,000 for the building 

last year as part of major 

changes planned for Lincoln’s 

main street. 

The Lincoln Town 

Centre Plan was adopted 

by the district council in 

2016 after community 

consultation. It will see the 

area develop into public 

spaces and squares and 

cycleways.

Foundations in place 

for health boost 

New dog park for Darfield 

Darfield will be getting a new dog park, with an off-leash exercise 

area at McHughs Forest Park opening next month. 

The fenced area at the southern end of the forest is due to open for 

dogs to run and play, on mid-July. 

A dog park or off-leash exercise area received strong support 

during a public consultation day about future developments of 

McHughs Forest Park. 

Work on the 275 metre long park began early this year. Fencing is 

being installed ahead of the opening and a rubbish bin and drinking 

fountain with a dog bowl will also be added. 

Access to the park will be provided through gates at the north and 

south ends of the exercise area. 

McHughs Forest Park will remain as an on-leash area for dogs as 

outlined within Council's dog control bylaws. 

More than 300 cubic metres of concrete have laid the foundations for a fresh start on health in Selwyn. 

The first concrete pour for the floor slab of the new Selwyn Health Hub took place on 

Wednesday last week. 

Over three hours, 55 concrete trucks poured 330 cubic metres of concrete at the site on Norman 

Kirk Drive in Rolleston. It is the first of three concrete pours for the floor slab. 

The $14.8 million building will be paid for through commercial investments, which will see rent 

from tenants covering the cost of the building. 

The Canterbury District Health Board (DHB) has partnered with the Council as the primary 

leaseholder, with Pacific Radiology also confirmed. 

The hub will comprise a primary birthing unit, plus DHB community health services, a General 

Practice, radiology and other community health and social services. 

Mayor Sam Broughton says the project is a long-term boost to the district. 

“The Selwyn Health Hub will provide new medical services without the need to travel to 

Christchurch. It complements existing medical centres and pharmacies and sets us up for the 

future growth of the district.” 

As Selwyn recovers from the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Selwyn Health Hub and other major 

Council infrastructure projects underway across the district will be an important part of the longterm 

recovery by creating jobs, and by improving wellbeing and continuing to make Selwyn a 

great place to work, live and play, he says. 

The building is on track at this stage to be completed in March 2021, when it will be handed over 

to the lease holders to fit out, before opening later in the year. 

Record demand for building consents 

The Council is receiving record numbers of building consent applications, and bookings for onsite 

inspections since lockdown. 

The Council was receiving an average of around 220 new building consents a month prior to the 

COVID-19 Level 4 lockdown, which rapidly increased to 258 applications in May and is well on track to 

reach that number again in June. 

The consent team has gone from carrying out 1400 building inspections a month, or around 70 a day, to 

almost 1600 inspections in May, or around 80 a day. In June the numbers look like they could top 1800 

inspections, Council Building Manager Vanessa Mitchell says. 

Over 60% of applications have been for new buildings, she says, although a drop in applications is still 

expected in the future due to the impacts of the pandemic. 

The consents team continued to receive and process consents through all alert levels, with digital and 

some on-site inspections able to take place for the start of Level 3. 

Staff from Napier City Council have been helping process 

applications, but the level of demand means some consent 

processing times may be slower than usual, Mrs Mitchell says. 

“We’ve been able, at this stage, to keep to our commitment of a 

48 hour turnaround from booking to us carrying out inspections. 

We’re doing our best to keep up, but people may see some 

slippage in the timeframes for code compliance certificates. 

“This workload also places our planning team under pressure to 

assess district plan compliance and respond to your enquiries as 

people contemplate new business ventures and activities.” 

Heritage Funding helps preserve 

our identity 

Preserving our identity and the history that shapes who we are is a 

key part of the Council’s Heritage Fund. 

The Heritage Fund is open for applications from Wednesday 

1 to Wednesday 22 July for projects aimed at supporting the 

preservation of heritage buildings or trees in Selwyn. 

Louise Deans of Homebush says the fund has been ‘wonderful’ 

in helping maintain the nine category one listed structures on the 

historic farm near Darfield. Looking after the buildings is expensive 

and the fund is a key support in maintaining sites of huge value to 

the district and its identity, she says. 

“We have been extraordinarily grateful for the help it’s given 

us. Funding is the only way to keep our heritage alive and well 

maintained so we can say, ‘this is our history and who we are’. 

They’re our identity long term, because they often last longer than 

people and give an enormous amount of pleasure.” 

The Heritage Fund has helped the family with restorations of an 

earthquake damaged well on the property, servicing a historic 

water turbine. The turbine was brought from Dayton, Ohio and 

installed in 1879. 

“It was the height of the industrial revolution really. You have to 

see it to believe it, because it involved an enormous amount of 

engineering for the water from the Waianiwaniwa River to be 

harnessed to run the turbine.” 

The fund had also helped with maintenance of the historic 

woolshed, built in 1879 and one of the most well-known heritage 

buildings in the country, she said. 

To apply for the Selwyn Heritage Fund visit selwyn.govt.nz/heritagefund, 

or for more information email heritagefund@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Youth helping shape 

district’s future 

Young people are being given the opportunity to help design one of 

Selwyn’s biggest development projects. 

The Selwyn Youth Council is carrying out its annual youth survey, 

asking young people around the district for their views on a youth 

focused space in the new Rolleston Town Centre development. 

The third annual ‘What Do YOUth Think?’ survey will see the Youth 

Council seeking feedback at high schools in the district and Lincoln 

University for what could be included in the area. The survey is also 

available online at bit.ly/YOUth2020. 

The Council is aiming to make the 

new town centre space a place 

for everyone, with community as 

well as commercial areas. That 

includes an area with a focus on 

young people, where they have 

had a say in the design to make 

sure it is a space that will meet 

their needs and be a great space 

to live and play. 

The survey is open to anyone 

aged 14–24 years old and living 

in the district. Everyone who 

completes the survey will go in 

the draw to win a Sony Bluetooth 

Speaker valued at $79.

As part of our Selwyn Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to 

you. You can find these businesses on the Selwyn Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory. 

This week we talk to Darfield Village Meats owner Blair Wards. 

Blair Wards, had just moved back from America when he saw a butchers in Darfield that was closing. 

With 30 years’ experience as a butcher he decided to take a chance. 

“The opportunity arose and I thought there was a need for a butcher shop there. It’s probably been 

more work than I anticipated,” Blair laughs. 

Blair met his wife while playing rugby and league in the states. The family moved to Darfield two and a 

half years ago to raise their kids, choosing Selwyn because Blair spent his youth in West Melton. 

One of the few butchers in the area, Darfield Village Meats specialise 

in home kill where farmers can send their livestock to be processed. 

On 1 April Darfield Village Meats would have celebrated a year of 

being open, but they were shut because of lockdown. 

Supplying the Darfield Food Bank, their Home Kill service, deliveries 

during level three and support from the local Selwyn community kept 

them going. 

The company is active in the community, supporting sports clubs and 

events, offering meat discounts and supplying sausages for BBQs. 

Blair and his family also support local businesses, which he says is 

crucial for the survival of a community. 

“If you don’t rally around these local businesses, like the local pubs, 

fish and chip shops and bakeries, they’ll just dissolve.” 

ON THE 

ROADS 

On the roads 

Tennyson Street is closed from 43 Tennyson Street to Markham Way due to the Rolleston 

Town Centre infrastructure upgrade. Due to the Lowes Road and Tennyson Street

Gardening 


SELWYN TIMES 

Email devon.bolger@starmedia.kiwi by 

5pm each Wednesday 

Plenty of chores to 

do during winter 

WINTER AND wet, 

sogggy soil is well upon us. 

But there are garden 

tasks which can be 

completed at this time of 

year, here are a few ideas: 

• The kitchen garden 

– Complete preparation of 

your vegetable garden, digging 

in plenty of compost. 

Once this is completed, 

sow seeds of carrots, 

parsnip, beetroot, silverbeet, 

peas, swede and 

turnips directly into the 

soil. Lettuces, leeks, cabbage, 

tomato, capsicum, 

courgette, cucumber and 

eggplant seeds can be sown 

into punnets ready for 

transplanting later. 

• Transplant summer 

vege seedlings – Now 

is the time to get your lettuce, 

leeks, cabbage, onions 

and silverbeet under way. 

BOUNTY: It’s also time 

to get your tomato 

plants in the ground. 

Spray with copper oxychloride 

to protect young 

seedlings from fungus 

diseases. 

• Fruit trees – New 

citrus and fruit trees can 

be planted this month. 

Feed any existing citrus 

trees with citrus fertiliser 

to provide them with the 

extra nutrients that they 

will need over the growing 

season. 

HARDY: 

A new 

lawn can 

be sown 

during 

winter, let 

the rain 

do the 

watering. 

• Other tasks – Don’t 

forget your compost bin 

needs turning every couple 

of weeks. Paths, if not 

already sprayed for slippery 

moss and slime, should be 

done now. 

• Lawns – August is 

the best time of the year 

for that extra bit of lawn 

care, but think about a plan 

now for your new lawn. 

New lawns can be sown, or 

existing ones can be given 

a feed with lawn fertiliser. 

This should be watered in 

well, providing the rain 

doesn’t do it for you. 

• Houseplants – If its 

really too cold and nasty 

for you to brave the outdoors, 

take a moment to 

inspect your houseplants. 

Many of them may appreciate 

being repotted, or just 

fed with Phostrogen. 

Remember, if your 

plants are in rooms which 

are heated or where a 

dehumidifier is used, make 

sure that they aren’t drying 

out, as these conditions 

may make them take up 

more water than you would 

normally expect.

Winter Mini Grooms: Gentle luxurious 

pampering in the colder months 

Luxe Doggy Day Spa is a boutique dog 

groom salon located in Rolleston. Loretta 

Lee and her talented groomers have a real 

love and respect for dogs and adore doggie 

cuddles. 

Luxe Doggy Day Spa would like to 

thank everyone for being so patient during 

lockdown while they got through the 

many dogs that needed their grooms. 

Loretta (Owner/groomer) and Linda 

(Groomer) are excited to introduce 

two additional professional trained and 

experienced groomers to Luxe, Bronwyn 

and Heather, who like everyone working 

at Luxe, have a genuine love and care for 

all dogs. 

During winter Luxe offers mini grooms. 

This entails gentle warm bathing using 

natural shampoo and conditioner followed 

by warm blow drying and brushing. 

Nails are clipped and their feet and faces 

trimmed. For small dogs the cost is from 

$48. “This is a great idea for in-between 

grooms to keep length on your dog’s 

body during the winter months without 

it getting knotty or matted,” says Loretta. 

“Matted hair is like a compacted knot that 

gets tighter when the hair gets wet. It can 

be very uncomfortable 

and sometimes painful for 

your dog. We genuinely 

care about your dog 

and want what’s best to 

maintain a healthy coat.” 

Your dog will be more 

content and snuggly 

during the colder months 

and you will be more likely 

to avoid a short shave in 

Spring/Summer time. 

At Luxe Loretta and 

Linda work hard to 

maintain their excellent 

reputation, as you 

can see by the excellent testimonials 

and feedback on their website and 

popular Facebook page https://www. 

facebook.com/LuxeDoggyDaySpa where 

photos of Loretta’s gorgeous doggie 

clientele are posted alongside glowing 

recommendations from their owners. 

“These ladies are pure magic… Thanks 

for an amazing job every single time Luxe. 

Coco loves going there.” 

“Loretta was amazing for our wee puppies 

first groom. She looks amazing and will

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

Building a Bentley 

John describes building his replica 1929 

WO Bentley from scratch, as a mammoth 

task and prefers not to think of the money 

spent on the project so far. 

It began five years ago, with it taking 18 

months just to source all the parts needed 

before John could start building the 

Bentley. The car is now almost finished. 

The electrics have been completed and the 

car starts, though you have to sit on a 20 

litre can to drive it. 

The Bentley’s chassis (which weighs a 

ton) and radiator were imported from 

Wales. Both are 1932 Rolls Royce parts. 

“When Bentley Motors went broke 

Rolls Royce took them over and put Rolls 

Royce parts on the Bentley’s 1920s chassis,” 

advises John. 

The Wall Street stock market crash in 

1929 had left Bentley Motors unable to 

meet its mortgage payments. Receivers 

were appointed and the company was sold 

with the successful bidder being Rolls- 

Royce Limited. 

John imported parts for his Bentley from 

all around the world. 

“The front mudguards came from 

Sweden and cost half the price of what I’d 

have had to pay, if they’d been made in 

New Zealand. The tyres came from Los 

Angeles and the gearbox from the Luxury 

Junk Yard in South Carolina, in the United 

States,” explains John. 

Many more parts were sourced from 

around New Zealand. The bonnet and 

fuel tank were manufactured in Timaru, 

where the glass was also fitted into the 

windscreen supplied by John. A Mark 6 

4.2 litre has been fitted into the car due 

to an original Bentley motor having an 

extremely high price tag, if one could be 

found. 

John built all the body frame from 

ash timber, which he says he acquired 

for a good price. This was covered with 

aluminium sheeting then 4mm thick foam 

rubber. Imitation leather in the British 

racing green colour was fitted to the 

exterior. 

John paid $750 for a bonnet then found 

it would not fit as it was too flimsy. He 

found it needed double aluminium. He 

had to knock a bulge in one part of the 

bonnet to fit in an air cleaner. 

“No one told me, when aluminium is too 

hot you can burn a hole in it,” laughs John. 

John is still working on the Bentley’s 

interior. He has made the front seat and 

these are now away being upholstered. 

“I like doing the woodwork so I make 

the frame for them to upholster,” says 

John. 

When the Bentley is finished, John and 

his wife Val, want to take it to rallies and 

special car events. This impressive vehicle 

is sure to attract considerable interest.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

Mobile windscreen repairs 

Windscreen chips, cracks and breaks can be a real 

inconvenience, especially if you need to take your 

vehicle in for repairs. 

Smaller chips may be ignored yet when moisture 

and dirt gets into a windscreen chip, it is harder for 

a clean repair to be carried out, which could result 

in the need for a completely new windscreen. 

The size of a windscreen chip can make a 

difference too. Adrian Huisman from Windscreen 

Solutions says it not only depends on the size of 

a chip but also where it is on the windscreen. For 

example, a chip in line with the steering wheel could 

result in a vehicle failing its Warrant of Fitness 

check. 

After 20 years’ experience in the industry, 

Adrian established Windscreen Solutions, a 

mobile windscreen repair and replacement service. 

Over the last four and a half years, the company 

has become recognised for its expertise and 

professionalism. 

Adrian repairs chips and cracks on windscreens, 

and fits replacement windscreens, taking the time to 

find the best and most affordable solution for each 

vehicle and customer. 

Windscreen Solutions carries out insurance work 

as well as jobs for individual customers. 

“With chip repairs starting at $70 plus GST, it may 

be better to avoid making an insurance claim and 

organise the repairs yourself instead, especially if 

there is no free glass cover, the excess is high, or a 

no claims bonus might be lost,” suggests Adrian. 

Adrian carries a wide range of windscreens, 

suitable for cars, vans, motorhomes, caravans, trucks 

of all sizes, and agricultural machinery. 

“Anything that moves and has glass in it, we can 

sort the problem,” advises Adrian. 

He reminds that at this time of the year, it is also 

a good idea to check the caravan or motorhome 

for leaks around the windows, especially where 

the rubber is beginning to perish. Skylights in 

particular, can be prone to leaking. This is especially 

important with older timber framed caravans, as a 

leak can cause considerable structural damage and 

jeopardise the integrity of the caravan. 

Adrian has rubbers to suit most makes and model 

of caravan or motorhome and will fit them so they 

are nice and tight. 

Windscreen Solutions offers a flexible windscreen 

repair and installation service, with a smile, and to 

your door. With little in the way of overheads, you 

will find their prices extremely competitive. 

Adrian is known for going the extra mile for 

his customers, working a little after hours or on a 

Saturday morning to fit in with a client. He lives and 

works locally, supporting locals throughout Selwyn. 

You may even see the Windscreen Solutions van in 

Ashburton, Methven or Kaikoura. 

If you need a windscreen repaired or replaced, 

give Adrian a call on 021 399 917, email info@ 

windscreensolutions.co.nz, or make contact via his 

website: www.windscreensolutions.co.nz.

Superb location, subdividable + irrigation consent 

A property of aesthetic appeal, that has the enviable 

composition of having 8ha of subdividable land complete 

with irrigation rights, a rarity in a property within such an easy 

commute to the city, airport and motorways. 

The striking family home with a floor area in excess of 350m² 

is placed on an enviable and very desirable established garden 

setting of mature trees and plantings, and offers an inground 

salt water swimming pool, and asphalt tennis court. 

Outbuildings and its associated infrastructure are of a quality 

and presentation often sought and rarely found, making this a 

property likely to be the envy of many. Clad and constructed to 

blend in union with the main homestead is the triple car garage 

and separate spacious studio/workshop. 

Extra outbuildings include a three bay fully enclosed implement 

shed, (which could be used for a further three car garage), and 

a large 148m² storage shed with a fully enclosed extra length 

bay with a higher stud, ideal for the camper, boat or helicopter. 

Attached to this are two further open bays. 

The property is exceptionally well maintained and presented to 

a high standard. Fenced into eight paddocks with good quality 

fencing, the property offers a water race at the boundary, duck 

pond, cattle yards and its own woodlot. 

The lower level of the home offers three good sized double 

bedrooms, a luxurious family bathroom, separate toilet and good 

size laundry. The living spaces are all generously proportioned with 

the open plan kitchen and dining area being complemented further 

by the large living space, conservatory and second living space 

currently utilised as an office space. 

The second floor designates itself to the master wing spanning the 

width of the building with a gorgeous balcony enjoying the vista 

over the property toward the alps. Supported by a walk-in robe 

and ensuite bathroom this is an opulent space and an ideal place to 

retreat at the end of the day. 

The desirable location will make this one of the larger blocks of land 

available on the market within such an easy commute to the city.

Disclosure rules 

when selling a home 

Real estate advertisements are designed 

to make every property look like a dream 

buy. That’s why they gloss over the negative 

aspects and linger on the good points, 

wanting you to be drawn in by the sundrenched 

location rather than be put off by 

lack of garaging. It’s no crime to gloss over 

a property’s quirks, but lying by omission 

or design about more serious matters is 

not allowed. If you do this when selling 

your property you may be at risk of being 

sued by the purchaser. 

When you’re ready to sell your property 

it’s a good idea to get legal advice about 

your obligations before you sign an agency 

agreement. Most of these agreements, 

which set out the terms and conditions 

of your contract with the real estate 

agent, require you to confirm that you are 

unaware of any undisclosed defects in the 

property and that you haven’t withheld any 

information about it. 

As a seller, you must also confirm 

that your property has all the necessary 

consents and code compliance certificates 

for any building work. Any outstanding 

consents, including ones that involve any 

works at a neighbour’s property, should be 

disclosed to the agent. 

This is important for several reasons. 

Licensed real estate agents have clear 

obligations when it comes to disclosure. 

They must not mislead a seller or 

a potential buyer, or withhold any 

information. While it’s not up to the 

agent to uncover any hidden defects in a 

property, they must tell any prospective 

buyers what they know. 

Under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, 

if licensed real estate agents suspect that a 

property may have a defect then they are 

obliged to ask the seller about it, or advise 

potential buyers of any risks. For example, 

if a property is next door to a proposed 

new development, or if it’s in an area that’s 

been subject to flooding, the agent must 

tell prospective buyers rather than turning 

a blind eye. 

If your property may be prone to 

weathertightness issues thanks to its 

age or cladding, then the agent may 

have to disclose this potential risk to 

prospective buyers. If it doesn’t have any 

weathertightness problems it may be 

worth getting this confirmed in an expert 

report by a qualified building inspector 

who has professional indemnity insurance, 

understands the strict legal requirements 

of their role and carries out their work 

in accordance with the New Zealand 

Property Inspection Standard. This will 

help make the sale process as efficient as 

possible. 

If you know there are issues with the 

property, whether it’s something small like 

a garage door not working properly, or a 

bigger deal like an unconsented deck, it’s 

best to discuss them with the agent you are 

working with. They can help you decide 

how to manage the problem, whether that 

means fixing it, or disclosing it to potential 

buyers. However, a licensed real estate 

agent must not disclose any problems with 

your property to buyers without getting 

your consent first. If a seller doesn’t agree 

on a disclosure, the agent is required to 

stop working for them rather than disclose 

any defects without consent. 

These rules offer more protection to 

buyers than the traditional attitude of 

‘caveat emptor’ (buyer beware), which 

assumed that the seller would always 

know more than the buyer and any sale 

was at the buyer’s risk. However, buyers 

should always do their own research 

about a property before signing a sale 

and purchase agreement. Buyers should 

also ask the agent about anything they are 

concerned about, no matter how trivial it 

may seem. It’s far better to get an answer 

upfront than find out when it’s too late.

Should you sell 

your house in 

winter? 

Selling a property in winter may seem to go against received wisdom, 

but there are plenty of reasons why it can be a good idea. 

It’s hard to ignore powerful or compelling 

reasons like a change in your work, financial 

or family circumstances, or because the 

timing seems right. In addition, there are 

several other, more tangible upsides to 

selling in winter. 

Firstly, there are often fewer houses on 

the market so there’s less competition. Your 

property is less likely to be lost in a swarm 

of listings and it will be easy to make it stand 

out. People who are looking to buy at this 

time of year are usually highly motivated 

because they need a home sooner rather 

than later. The upside of this is that you may 

get fewer ‘tyre-kickers’ than in the warmer 

months – and increased demand will often 

result in higher prices. 

If you’re selling your property with a 

real estate agent, you need to mine their 

experience. When you’re choosing an agent, 

ask them how houses in your area sell over 

the colder months. It’s in their interests 

to make sure the sale of your property is 

as advantageous as possible; if they think 

you’ll be better off waiting a couple of 

months, they should tell you. They should 

also work with you to work out the best 

times to hold open homes or viewings, 

taking in account shorter sunlight hours. 

You want your property to look attractive, 

inviting and easy to look after – and there 

are plenty of practical steps you can take 

to make it seem an attractive proposition 

on a cold winter’s day. Now’s the time to 

fix any leaks, cracked windows or sticking 

doors or broken drains. All the usual rules 

for preparing a home for sale will apply - 

your buzzwords should be decluttering and 

deep-cleaning. If it has good insulation 

and an efficient heating system, make sure 

these factors are included in any marketing. 

Ensure the house is warm and dry during 

any viewings. 

Don’t forget that people will want to 

look around the outdoor areas too - 

sweep or waterblast paths, mulch garden 

beds and clear gutters. If your garden is 

picture-perfect in summer and spring, 

consider making some photos available so 

prospective buyers can see what they’ve got 

to look forward to. A few colourful plants in 

pots will also help brighten outdoor spaces 

and a new letterbox or freshly painted front 

fence or gate will do wonders for your 

property’s street appeal. 

Prepare well and there’s no reason why 

you can’t successfully sell your property 

before the weather warms up. Sell now and 

you’ll hopefully have lots of properties to 

choose from when you start scanning the 

market in spring.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Luxury plus 

If you like a little luxury you will love Hallmark 

Homes’ new Te Whāriki showhome. All 265sqm are 

packed with ideas for how to create a sumptuous yet 

liveable home. 

Generous family living is to the fore. There 

is a separate lounge/media room, large family 

living area, and outdoor room which adds a new 

dimension to the concept of indoor/outdoor living. 

Sliders also lead from the family living space to a 

hardwood deck and lawn; an area also accessible 

from the master bedroom. 

Able to be fully enclosed, the outdoor room boasts 

a television, kitchenette, beer fridge and heating, 

making it perfect for entertaining or as a man cave 

for a night watching sport. With a water feature in 

the garden nearby, it is also a great place to relax. 

A computer nook sits off from the kitchen. 

The latter has a double oven, induction cooktop 

and Caesar stone bench top. At the other end 

of the kitchen is an open pantry, complete with 

refrigerator, cabinetry and second sink to offer a less 

public place for food preparation. An end window 

and skylights allow plenty of light in this space 

during the day. 

The master bedroom is sited away from the other 

three bedrooms, affording privacy while being an 

ideal design option when teenagers or young adults 

live in the home or when guests stay. Setting off this 

room is a three dimensional headboard and large 

‘his and hers’ walk-in robe. The ensuite boasts a 

spacious walk-in shower with rain water showerhead 

and extra-long designer vanity. 

In the main bathroom, a skylight window above 

the freestanding bath (staged on a plinth) allows for 

a little star gazing. Designer Italian tiles on the wall 

behind the bath adds to the room’s plush setting. 

The home has separate toilet and laundry, the 

latter creating a pathway through to the double 

garage. Full height storage cupboards are sited on 

one side of this room with cabinetry and spaces for 

washing machine and dryer opposite. 

The stud height throughout the home is 2.55 

metres. It includes a vaulted ceiling in the dining/ 

family area; cathedral ceiling in the main lounge; 

raked ceilings in the outdoor living room where 

Velux skylights ensure lots of light; and a raked 

ceiling in the entryway where strip lighting is 

merged into the black beams of the cedar clad 

ceiling. 

The home has Google Nest, allowing electronic 

componentry like the motorised curtains, heating 

and alarm system to be remotely controlled. 

A mix of textured plaster cladding, Linea oblique 

and Marco Corona Italian tiles give this home a 

commanding street appeal. 

Hallmark Homes’ latest Selwyn showhome is 

located at 162 Southfield Drive in Lincoln’s Te 

Whāriki housing estate. It is open seven days from 

12noon until 4pm, or by appointment for exclusive 

viewing.
