Hanmer plan change gets nod<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
A12.97 hectare block of land<br />
on the east side of Argelins<br />
Road in Hanmer Springs<br />
could soon be opened up to<br />
houses, aretirement village<br />
and preschool.<br />
Morford Properties has<br />
successfully applied for a<br />
plan change to allow the land<br />
to be included within the<br />
town’s boundary and be<br />
rezoned from rural to<br />
residential 1H.<br />
The plan change was<br />
publicly notified in<br />
September last year,<br />
attracting eight submissions.<br />
Ahearing for the privately<br />
requested plan change was<br />
held on March 20 this year<br />
before independent<br />
commissioner Dean Chrystal,<br />
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black<br />
and Cr Geoff Shier.<br />
The hearing panel<br />
recommended approving it<br />
with afew adjustments, and<br />
its recommendations were<br />
approved by the Hurunui<br />
District Council last week.<br />
The site proposal includes<br />
provision for up to 90<br />
residential lots, mostly<br />
around 500 square metres,<br />
with larger lots along the<br />
western boundary.<br />
Aretirement village of<br />
eight townhouses, 22 villas,<br />
20 serviced apartments and<br />
20 care beds is also planned.<br />
Submitters raised issues of<br />
loss of the rural, open<br />
outlook, density, the<br />
geotechnical risk, the risk of<br />
flooding, property<br />
devaluation, landscaping and<br />
storm and wastewater<br />
management.<br />
Some were also concerned<br />
the Pitch NPutt golf facility<br />
could be lost to the<br />
development.<br />
However, council planner<br />
Kelsey Bewley, in areport on<br />
the plan change, said the<br />
Pitch NPutt issue was a<br />
private one, not aresource<br />
management issue.<br />
‘‘Therefore the loss of the<br />
Pitch NPutt cannot be<br />
considered as part of the plan<br />
change assessment.’’<br />

Amberley house wins architecture award<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
An Amberley house has taken out a<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Architecture Award.<br />
Twentyfive projects received<br />
honours in the justannounced <strong>2020</strong><br />
awards.<br />
The Hursley Terrace home,<br />
designed by AW Architect, was one of<br />
two homes to win in the Housing<br />
section.<br />
The jury said that, despite the use of<br />
prefabricated and modular<br />
construction elements, the building<br />
felt anything but ‘‘offtheshelf’’.<br />
‘‘It is asimple, wellconsidered<br />
house that provides anew model for<br />
living more sympathetically within our<br />
Awellconsidered house ... The winning dwelling on Hursley Terrace, near<br />
Amberley.<br />
grand landscapes,’’ the jury said.<br />

Youth hit badly by<br />
Covid-19 job losses<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Youngpeople are being<br />
disproportionately affected by Covid19<br />
job losses.<br />
How to engage young peopleinthe<br />
recoverywas just one of the questions<br />
askedatthe Waimakariri Jobs Summit<br />
held at the Rangiora RSAonFriday,<br />
organised by Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey<br />
and Dean Percy, managingdirectorof<br />
creative agency The Mark.<br />
Whilenational scenarios predict<br />
unemploymentcould hit 9percent,youth<br />
unemployment‘‘could trackashigh as<br />
25%’’, Mr Doocey warned.<br />
‘‘We are already seeingyoung people<br />
disproportionately affected,’’ Enterprise<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> business development<br />
manager Miles Daltonagreed.<br />
Workshopparticipants wondered if<br />
therewere opportunities for ‘‘tech<br />
apprenticeships’’ to engage youngpeople,<br />
whileconcerns were expressed at the time<br />
and expense involved with onthejob<br />
training, especially in uncertain times.<br />
Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson, who<br />
runs the Kaiapoi Community Care and<br />
Employment Trust, says socialenterprises<br />
and notforprofit organisations can play a<br />
valuable roleinworking alongsidefirms to<br />
‘‘produce workreadypeople’’.<br />
Keynote speaker, National MP and<br />
former merchantbankerAndrewBayly,<br />
said he initially thoughtCovid19 ‘‘would<br />
be a12to18monthscenario’’.<br />
‘‘I’ve got to sayinthe last couple of days<br />
I’ve actually changed my mind. I’ve<br />
become alot gloomier.’’<br />
Developments globally tended to<br />
indicate Covid19 could lead to afour to<br />
fiveyear recession and it could be longer,<br />
Mr Baylysaid. But New Zealand was in a<br />
good positioncompared to other countries<br />
because of its relatively low debt levels of<br />
20% of grossdomestic product, whichwas<br />
set to doubleinjust threemonths and<br />
doubleagaininthe next four years.<br />
By comparison the UnitedStates’ debt<br />
level was 107% of GDP beforeCovid19,<br />
while European countriesaveraged67%.<br />
‘‘The wagesubsidy has got us through<br />
the lockdown, but when that comes off<br />
there will be some difficulties and Ithink<br />
we will see somebusinesses failing.’’<br />
Agriculture wasplaying avital rolein<br />
keeping New Zealand working,but more<br />
neededtobedone to help recovery, Mr<br />
Bayly said.‘‘We needtodothe largescale<br />
infrastructure projects, but we need to do<br />
largescale integrated developments, for<br />
example housebuilding,becausethat’s<br />
what employs people.<br />
‘‘We need to welcome international<br />
students, but they willhave to stay here.<br />
They won’t be able to flitback and forth.<br />
And we needthe technologytoenable<br />
more people to work from home.Ithink we<br />
should be thinking thatthis willgoon<br />
longerthan we planned at the outset.’’<br />
New Zealand has already reached‘‘peak<br />
cow’’,but therewere opportunities in<br />
other producesuch as avocadosand<br />
kiwifruit,and the red meat sector is more<br />
profitable thanithas been in years.<br />
Mr Baylysaidhewas impressed with the<br />
optimismshown by Waimakariri<br />
businesses.<br />
Mr Doocey said aresearcher had been<br />
engaged to contact businessesfor<br />
interviewsand he planstoengage with<br />
local youth to get ayouth perspective.<br />
Findings willbeshared withthe local<br />
business sector, he said.<br />
Strengthening required ... The Waimakariri District Council’s Rangiora service centre<br />
is undergoing an upgrade.<br />

Upgrade now more pressing<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Planstorefurbish Rangiora’smain<br />
council building have taken on greater<br />
urgency after an engineering<br />
assessment.<br />
Apreliminary scopeofwork<br />
assessment suggests partsofthe<br />
Rangiora service centremay meet only<br />
40 percent of the new building standard.<br />
“The building’s ratingislower than<br />
previously believeddue to achange in<br />
an engineeringassessmentofthe<br />
ductile strength of the steelmesh<br />
reinforcing in the concrete floor in part<br />
of the building upstairs,”Waimakariri<br />
District Council chief executiveJim<br />
Palmer says. It had previously been<br />
thought the building met 67% of the<br />
standard,ormore.<br />
“Based on the information we have to<br />
date,strengthening work is required to<br />
reduce therisk of apartial collapseof<br />
the floor in the event of alarge<br />
earthquake.’’<br />
As aprecaution, adecision has been<br />
madetotemporarily limit staff and<br />
public access to affected parts.<br />
All services and functions will<br />
continue to operate as closetonormalas<br />
possible, with the public still ableto<br />
access public areas while thecouncil<br />
awaitsamore detailed report.<br />
An upgrade hasbeen in the pipeline<br />
for some time,with plans scaled back as<br />
the council sought savings becauseof<br />
Covid19, with the spend now expected<br />
to be 30% of the original budget.<br />
Strategy and engagement manager<br />
Simon Markham says planned work will<br />
include upgrading theheating and<br />
ventilation. ‘‘Itwon’trequire us to be<br />
entirely out of the building, but there<br />
willbedisruption.’’<br />
The council will continue to employ<br />
flexibleworking arrangements for staff.<br />
Further work on the Rangiora service<br />
centre will be considered in next year’s<br />
LongTerm Plan,with aRangiora<br />

New technology in the supermarket aisles<br />
5<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Technology beat good old<br />

Tuesday morning.<br />
Two <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
readers who won adraw took to<br />
the aisles using identical<br />
shopping lists —one armed<br />
with the new SHOP’nGo device,<br />
while the other shopped<br />
conventionally.<br />
Rangiora’s Carolyn Lane,<br />
who used the new device,<br />
completed her shop several<br />
minutes ahead of Barry<br />
Lennox, from Kaiapoi.<br />
All concentration .. . Barry<br />
Lennox studies his shopping list<br />
during the shopoff.<br />
Carolyn says the biggest timesaver<br />
with the device was at the<br />
checkout because her shop had<br />
already been tallied and she<br />
packed it in her trolley as she<br />

his groceries on the counter to<br />
be scanned, and then pack<br />
them.<br />
Their efforts earned each of<br />
them a$200 PAK’nSAVE<br />
voucher, while many others will<br />
also benefit from their efforts.<br />
Owneroperators James and<br />
Catherine Flanagan gifted the<br />
competition groceries to food<br />
banks.<br />
People involved in anew<br />
collaborative approach to<br />
ensure enough food is getting to<br />
food banks were onhand to<br />
accept the groceries.<br />
Tessa Sturley, community<br />
team manager at the<br />
Waimakariri District Council,<br />
says the collaborative approach<br />
was born out of the Covid19<br />
lockdown to ensure asupply of<br />
food was available to those in<br />
the community who needed it.<br />
It is led by Nicki Carter,<br />
social services Waimakariri<br />
facilitator, and Rachel<br />
Thornton, the community<br />
development facilitator for the<br />
council.<br />
Mr Flanagan says the<br />

Common sense needed<br />
over fresh water policy<br />
By CAM HENDERSON, president of<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Federated Farmers<br />
Everyonewantsimprovements to the<br />
quality of water in ourstreams, rivers<br />
and lakes.However, thetrouble is<br />
there is disagreementabout how to<br />
achieve it, howfast it needsto happen,<br />
and at what cost.<br />
Federated Farmers is encouraged<br />
by signs of growing recognition that<br />
targetedaction on issues particular to<br />
differentcatchments will be far more<br />
effectiveinterms of cost and results<br />
thanblunt,blanket regulations.<br />
When the Government first released<br />
its EssentialFreshwater proposals last<br />
year, there wasanoutcrynot justfrom<br />
farmers, but alsomany othersector<br />
groups, including thelocalauthorities<br />
thatwould havetoadministerand<br />
enforce the regulations.<br />
Theproposals were tochange.<br />
Maybeitwas the 17,000submissions,<br />
maybeit was thefact there isan<br />
electionthisyear, or —and Ilike to<br />
think this wasthe deciding factor —<br />
maybecommon senseprevailed.<br />
Whatever the case,the resultisthe<br />
Actionfor Healthy Waterways reforms<br />
signedoff by CabinetonMay 28 are<br />
more reasonable and practical.<br />
Forexample, Federated Farmers<br />
agreeswith the push for Farm<br />
EnvironmentPlanstobe rolled out<br />
overareasonable timeframe. We are<br />
alsopleasedthatwaterway fencing<br />
distancerequirements arenow 3m,<br />
not 5m,and that existing fencing<br />
was very disillusioned.<br />
The predominant experience now<br />
when walking around the city’s<br />
beautiful parks and beachesis<br />
spacedout peopleand the<br />
ubiquitous smell of weedwafting<br />
throughthe air.<br />
My family and friends in<br />
Vancouver agree it was one of the<br />
worst things that has happened to<br />
Vancouver.<br />
Iactually could not wait to get back<br />
to New Zealand.<br />
Even the liberal Dutch are now<br />
questioningthe Amsterdam<br />

But thereare still plentyof<br />
fishhooks,inconsistencies and vague<br />
definitionsthat we areraisingwith<br />
the Ministryfor the Environmentand<br />
the Ministryfor PrimaryIndustries, as<br />
Cabinet’s policy decisionsare<br />
translatedinto the actual regulations<br />
thatwill apply.<br />
But to give creditwhereit’s due, the<br />
Government hasalso justannounced<br />
an extra $3 million for the New<br />
ZealandLandcare Trust,an<br />
investment thatFederated Farmers<br />
lobbied for in its submissiononthe<br />
freshwater proposals.<br />
This investment willenable the<br />
trust to employ ateam of regional coordinatorstoworkwith<br />
the farming<br />
community on integratingsustainable<br />
landand watermanagementpractices<br />
into their farmingsystems.<br />
Farmer and communityled<br />
catchment groups, workingon<br />
priorities particular to their district<br />
and topography,have proven to be<br />
veryeffective.<br />
This is where we’ll get real,lasting<br />
improvement in rural water quality.<br />
experience (sexand drugs).<br />
New Zealand has the advantageof<br />
beingable to weigh up the<br />
experiences of other places.<br />
Why share their failed<br />
experiments?<br />
Do peopleregretnow reducingthe<br />
drinking age to 18? Yes. Will we<br />
change it? No.<br />
Come on New Zealanders, you can<br />
lead the world in intelligenceand<br />
vote no to legalised cannabis!<br />

Project under way ... An artist’s impression of the sixmetre high canopy which will<br />
redirect falling rocks away from the road and road users.<br />
Rock project begins<br />
Work to install permanent rockfall<br />
protection on State Highway 1<br />
between Peketa and the Parititahi<br />
tunnels, south of Kaikoura, began last<br />
Monday.<br />
The work is expected to be<br />
completed by Christmas.<br />
It will cause delays for motorists of<br />
up to 35 minutes on weekdays between<br />
9am and 5pm during the first month of<br />
work.<br />
Kaikoura Mayor Craig Mackle says it<br />
will be great to get the work done.<br />
‘‘There will be considerable<br />
disturbance but it is avery small price<br />
to pay for the outcome.’’<br />
In April last year amotorist was<br />
lucky to escape serious injury when<br />
four large rocks fell on his vehicle<br />
from the rock face near the tunnels.<br />
Other rockprotection measures<br />
have already been installed in the<br />
area, including adraped mesh fence<br />
and barriers.<br />
Recovery push in Kaikoura<br />
The Kaikoura District Council has joined<br />
forces with Te Runanga oKaikoura to<br />
lead the district’s Covid19 recovery.<br />
MayorCraig Mackle says the<br />
partnership has beenevolving since<br />
October,asthe councillooked to the<br />
future as part of its ongoingearthquake<br />
recoveryefforts.<br />
The partnership is known as the<br />
KaikouraEconomicRecovery<br />
GovernanceGroup (KERGG).<br />
‘‘It’s about honouring our treaty<br />
partnership and it has beendeveloping<br />
rapidly sinceOctober, so it seemedonly<br />
natural to evolve into aCovid19 recovery<br />
IMAGE: SUPPLIED<br />
Colin Knaggs, the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Transport Infrastructure Recovery<br />
(NCTIR) alliance manager, said:<br />
‘‘With more than 70 recorded rockfall<br />
incidents in the area since the 2016<br />
earthquake, apermanent solution is<br />
needed to protect road users now and<br />
in the future.”<br />
The canopy design will use rock<br />
protection netting made of hightensile<br />
galvanised steel to allow light<br />
through. It is the first of its kind to be<br />
installed in the southern hemisphere.<br />
‘‘It was chosen in preference to<br />
other ways of protecting road users,<br />
for example, atunnel, which would<br />
have cut off the sea views,’’ he says.<br />
The canopy was designed by NCTIR<br />
staff in consultation with European<br />
designers.<br />
The first stage of the work will<br />
include rock scaling and milling the<br />
existing rock by NCTIR staff to make<br />
the area safe for workers below.<br />

Cone sales help charity<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Sevenyearold best friends<br />
Scarlet Morgan and Indie<br />

youngest contributors to Kaiapoi<br />
Community Support’s food bank.<br />
The Year 3students from St<br />
Patrick’s School, Kaiapoi,<br />
collected pine cones and sold<br />
them at their front gates.<br />
Selling 15 bags in all, Scarlet<br />
and Indie used the cash to buy<br />
items to give to the food bank.<br />
The idea came about through a<br />
school project called The Trinity<br />
Quest.<br />
Students perform challenges<br />
during the school year relating to<br />
giving, community, academic<br />
excellence, the arts and physical<br />
activity, with themes associated<br />
with caring, cooperation and<br />
helping others.<br />
When the girls delivered the<br />
food to Kaiapoi Community<br />
Support, they were given atour<br />
of the food bank by its coordinator,<br />
Louise Griffiths, and<br />
helped unload the goods into the<br />
pantry.<br />
“The best part was choosing<br />
yummy stuff,” Indie told Louise.<br />

Spending across region<br />
gets post-Covid bump<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> retailers are<br />
riding awave of postlockdown<br />
spending.<br />
Figures released by the<br />
Ministry of Business<br />
Innovation and Employment<br />
(MBIE) shows, in the first four<br />
weeks after lockdown, retail<br />
spending in Kaikoura was 15.1<br />
percent ahead of the same time<br />
last year.<br />
The retail spend was up 5%<br />
in Waimakariri and 3% in<br />
Hurunui.<br />
Kaikoura Mayor Craig<br />
Mackle said the boost was<br />
largely driven by weekend<br />
visitors. ‘‘It’s been going pretty<br />
well actually. Even last weekend<br />
was busy. It’s definitely up<br />
at the moment and most people<br />
are pretty happy.<br />
‘‘It’s surprisingly busy for<br />
this time of year and long may<br />
it continue.’’<br />
The boom in New Zealand’s<br />
provincial towns is in stark<br />
contrast to the cities, with<br />
Christchurch just 1.1% ahead<br />
of last year, while Auckland<br />
and Wellington are among the<br />
four districts where retail<br />
spending is down, as many<br />
commuters continue to work<br />
from home, the ministry says.<br />
Waimakariri District Council<br />
strategy and engagement<br />
manager Simon Markham<br />
believes the growth in retail<br />
spending can be attributed to<br />
several things, including locals<br />
working from home instead of<br />
commuting into Christchurch,<br />
money saved during the<br />
lockdown, anew impetus on<br />
shopping local, and shoppers<br />
wanting to avoid the malls.<br />
The Covid19 experience<br />
could provide solutions as<br />
councils and businesses look to<br />
be more sustainable in tackling<br />
climate change, he says.<br />
‘‘PostCovid, we are seeing<br />
life patterns change, with more<br />
people working from home,<br />
which has wider benefits for<br />
our district with more people<br />
being local during the day, so<br />
they are spending money in<br />
their town centre rather than<br />
where they would be working.<br />
‘‘There could be environmental<br />
benefits as well as<br />
economic benefits from people<br />
working from home or having<br />
more flexible start times and<br />
work hours, which would also<br />
reduce traffic congestion.’’<br />
The council has been<br />
working on developing a<br />
sustainability strategy, with a<br />
report due to be presented to<br />
this week’s council meeting.<br />
While Covid19 has delayed<br />
the development of the<br />
strategy, it has also shown what<br />
is possible, Mr Markham says.<br />
The report will review the<br />
council’s vehicle fleet, waste<br />
treatment plant and energy<br />
savings with aview to ‘‘doing<br />
that smarter’’.<br />

Waimakariri set<br />
to bounce back<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Waimakariri is wellplaced to<br />
bounce back from Covid19, says<br />
Enterprise <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> (ENC)<br />
business development manager<br />
MilesDalton.<br />
Speaking at last week’s<br />
Waimakariri Jobs Summit, Mr<br />
Dalton said ENC was working to get<br />
24 ‘‘exciting projects’’ off theground,<br />
and abetterthanexpected business<br />
opinion survey has given the region<br />
reason for optimism.<br />
‘‘It’s bad, but notasbad as we<br />
thought,’’ he said,after the recent<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> Business Opinion<br />
Survey.<br />
‘‘We’ve takenaknock, but we are<br />
better placed than most other parts<br />
of the country. We’ve been through<br />
four disasters now —threeearthquakes<br />
and now aplague —and we<br />
come into our own whenbad things<br />
happen.’’<br />
ENC has received two months<br />
worthofenquiries in just twoweeks<br />
from prospective new businesses.<br />
‘‘We havehad quite alot of people<br />
coming in withsome really good<br />
projects whichthey have obviously<br />
put alot of thought into.<br />
‘‘We are awareof19new<br />
businesses starting up in <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> sinceMarchand we’ve<br />
had 17 interviews with prospective<br />
new businesses.’’<br />
The business survey found93<br />
percent of businesses had areduced<br />
income duringlockdown, with 55%<br />
having areducedprofitfor the last<br />
six months,but 20% had higher<br />
profits. ‘‘We are seeingthat jump<br />
now thatlockdown has finished and<br />
retail and hospitality seemtobe<br />
pretty busy right now. As to how long<br />
thatwill last, that’sanotherquestion.<br />
‘‘Onthe whole, businessesare<br />
hanging in there.Everyonetook abig<br />
hit from the lockdown and many had<br />
to take out loans,but mostbusinesses<br />
are prettyoptimistic about surviving.<br />
‘‘The weakness of Waimakariri has<br />
suddenlybecome our strength in that<br />
we weren’t reliant on international<br />
tourismand we are seen as asafe<br />
haven. We’vebeen approached by<br />
international investors looking at<br />
setting up some fairly substantial<br />
operations.’’<br />
Large projects includedLime<br />
Living (an apartment development<br />
proposed for Silverstream), the<br />
proposed aquasportspark in<br />
Kaiapoi, alargeTaiwanese pet food<br />
factory, the Waimakariri Sports<br />
Stadium, Ravenswood New World, a<br />
chocolate factory, various hemp<br />
projects, manuka oil and the<br />
proposed star trail, Mr Daltonsays.<br />
‘‘One of the things I’ve often<br />
thought is that New Zealand needsto<br />
diversify away from peak cow, and<br />
hempand cannabis are coming in as<br />
an option.<br />
‘‘Hemp for food andfibre and<br />
medicinal cannabis are very strong<br />
and thesepeople have their overseas<br />
markets already locked in.<br />
‘‘And we’re stillworking towards<br />
the observatory and star trail,’’ he<br />
said, adding thatthere is less<br />

Artistic endeavour ... Laura Hewetson, left, and Mel Eaton shared avision for an arts collective in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Shared vision leads to arts collective<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Two <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> women<br />
have established anew arts<br />
collective.<br />
It is the brainchild of<br />
Waipara’s Laura Hewetson and<br />
Mel Eaton, of Woodend.<br />
The idea arose when Laura<br />
and her family moved from<br />
Wellington to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
almost two years ago.<br />
She put apost up on a<strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> mums’ Facebook<br />
group asking if anyone was<br />
interested in running art classes<br />
or having alittle art group.<br />
Mel contacted her saying she<br />
had wanted to do asimilar thing,<br />
so they met for acoffee and<br />
shared their vision and passion<br />
for creative communities.<br />
Mel had established asimilar<br />
initiative in Qatar called<br />
‘‘Inspiration Station’’ and, as an<br />
experienced art teacher, she<br />
had the knowhow to create an<br />
arts collective, while Laura’s<br />
background as an artist working<br />
at aperformingarts centre in<br />
Wellington provided complementary<br />
skills for the initiative.<br />
Since that first meeting, the<br />
women have been sharing their<br />
vision with other local creatives,<br />
and the collective began to<br />
slowly form.<br />
Laura and Mel are in the<br />
process of transforming NEST<br />
into an incorporated society<br />
with charitable status and<br />
earlier this year the women<br />
were given agrant through<br />
Hurunui Creative Communities<br />
to put on an event in Amberley<br />
to ‘‘launch and introduce’’ the<br />
collective to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
The Covid19 pandemic<br />
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED<br />
lockdown ‘‘put the brakes on<br />
that, but as soon as we hit level<br />
one it was pedal to the metal’’.<br />
The collective’s first<br />
exhibition and workshop is<br />
scheduled to begin this<br />
Saturday, running until <strong>July</strong> 26<br />
at 16 Markham Street,<br />
Amberley, from 10am until 3pm.<br />
‘‘We have been blown away by<br />
the incredible artists in the<br />
region who have joined with us<br />
and are showcasing their work<br />
and running workshops,’’ the<br />
women say. About 20 artists are<br />
involved in the event.<br />
Dog fee<br />
incentive<br />
Being aresponsible dog<br />
owner in the Hurunui<br />
District will mean cheaper<br />
registration for owners.<br />
Registrations are due<br />
with afinal payment date<br />
of August 1.<br />
Those whose dogs meet<br />
certain criteria will find it<br />
cheaper.<br />
Dogs who have never<br />
roamed, are microchipped<br />
and whose owners have<br />
always paid the<br />
registration fee on time<br />
qualify for areduced fee of<br />
$33. The standard fee is<br />
$47 ayear.<br />
Records show about<br />
1000 dog owners may meet<br />
the Responsible Dog<br />
Owner criteria.<br />
Compliance team leader<br />
Andrew Brown says the<br />
category is in the best<br />
interests of owners, their<br />
dogs, and the district.<br />
“People who meet all of<br />
the responsible dog owner<br />
criteria are not only acting<br />
in the best interests of<br />
dogs, but also generally<br />
require less time and<br />
resource from the<br />
council.”<br />
He says it backs up the<br />
Department of Internal<br />
Affairs’ message that<br />
safety around dogs is a<br />
combination of good law,<br />
good enforcement,<br />
compliance by dog owners<br />
and community support.<br />

Before making the final decisiononwhat<br />
type of fenceistobeinstalled, consider the<br />
following:<br />
1. Capitalcosts.<br />
2. The labour cost to build.<br />
3. Maintenance costs.<br />
4. Stockholding ability. The fence should<br />
be suitable for the stock it is to hold.Also,<br />
considerwhat stock neighbours have when<br />
constructing aboundary fence.<br />
5. Required service lifeofthe fence.<br />
Thereisno use buying materialsthatare<br />
unlikelytogive the lifespan you require.<br />
6. Flood or fire risk. There’s no use having<br />
abattened fence in afloodprone area.<br />
7. Risks of soil slips or movements.<br />
8. Climaterisk (e.g. coastal erosion).<br />
9. Availability and skill of labour.<br />
10. Availabilityofmaterials.<br />
Afterall these considerations, you<br />
should have adesign in mind that will<br />
achieve the animal containment required,<br />
suit the terrain, yourfarmingsystem,and<br />
your budget, and it will last.<br />
Wheretobuild<br />
When deciding on placement, consider<br />
the following:<br />
1. Boundaries: Check the accurate<br />
location of boundaries before erecting the<br />
fence. Discuss plans with your neighbour.<br />
2. Class of land: Where possible, fences<br />
can be used to separate one class of land<br />
from another, whether it be different soil<br />
types, or aspect (sunny, shady, etc).<br />
3. Easeofaccess: Afence line that can be<br />
bulldozedwill cut transport and erection<br />
costs, butmay leadtoerosion problems.<br />
4. Avoid problem areas:Thesecan lead to<br />
extramaterials and maintenance. Soft<br />
soilsare troublesome for fence end<br />
assemblies,cornersorangles. Rock can<br />
make post installation very difficult.<br />
Unstable streams maymeander and cut off<br />
or underminefences.<br />
With slopes,fencingstraightupand<br />
down aslope will suffer less from snow<br />
and boulders. If aslope must be crossed,<br />
look for old terraces or achange of slope<br />
whichmay breakthe slide of snow.<br />
Gullies susceptible to floodswill require<br />
acollapsible portionoffloodgates.<br />
5. Avoid unnecessary dips or bends.<br />
Nearly everydip will require atiedownor<br />
foot.Likewise, bends will require bigger<br />
postsorstrainer assemblies.<br />
6. Makethe strainaslong as reasonably<br />
possible. Good flat going may allow 1200m<br />
strains but in roughground you may be<br />
down to 100m.<br />
7. Carefulsiting of gatewayscan make<br />
stockmovement alot easier.<br />
The lie and the shape of the land will<br />
influenceyour decision. You may decide<br />
on somehuman intervention and push in a<br />

whichtoconstruct your fence.<br />
It’s agood idea to limitthe number of<br />
angles in yourfence if possible. This may<br />
include taking intoaccount the numberof<br />
rise and dip posts as well.<br />
Will you go around aspur or over it? Will<br />
you run acrossthe ditchoralongside it?<br />
Will you fence off the boggy patch or fence<br />
rightthrough it?<br />
Selecting material:<br />
Post length (how far will it go in the<br />
ground?): Experiments with radiata pine<br />
postshave shownthere is arelationship<br />
between postdiameter and the necessary<br />
depththe postisburiedinthe ground to<br />
stop it overturning. In mediumclays,apost<br />
set in the soil 10 timesits diameterormore<br />
will usually fail by breaking.Insofter soils,<br />
the 1:10ratiobecomes as large as 1:15, so<br />
a90mm postset 900mminsoft soilwill fail<br />
by overturning. In other words, to obtain a<br />
strongerfence there is little to be gained by<br />
usingalargerdiameter post, unlessitis<br />
balanced by using apost which is longer<br />
too. The only benefit of the larger diameter<br />
is the increased facewidth pushing against<br />
the soil. From then it can be seenthat the<br />
extrastrength of the No.1A post(for<br />
example) is wasted with a1.8m post.<br />
Because of its extra width, aNo.1 halfroundpostofthe<br />
same length in the same<br />
ground would be stronger. Unfortunately,<br />
longer posts are disproportionately more<br />
expensive, so the standard1.8mlong post<br />
is almostinvariably used.<br />
Quickguide:<br />
Medium claysoils:Bury at 10 times the<br />
post diameter.Softersoils: Bury at up to 15<br />
timesthe post diameter. —Fencing<br />

Help for erosion-prone land<br />
Aprogramme aimedatsupporting<br />
landowners witherosionprone landhas<br />
resulted in 2000 poplars being planted,<br />
and about 200 hectares of nativebush<br />
retired at Mt Guardian in the Hurunui<br />
District.<br />
The first year of the fouryearSoil<br />
Conservationand Regeneration (SCAR)<br />
programme has ended withfarmers<br />
beinggiven advice, tools and skills to help<br />
improve their farm systems and water<br />
quality through reducing the amount of<br />
sediment getting intowaterways because<br />
of erosion.<br />
SCAR is jointly funded by Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> (ECan) and the Ministry for<br />
Primary Industries’ Hill Country Erosion<br />
Fund.Itispart of anew wave of hill<br />

ECan staff work with landownersinthe<br />
region,improvingtheirknowledgeofsoil<br />
management, and share skills and<br />

It is hoped to retire afurther100<br />
hectares of native bush, engage with 40<br />
new landowners and plant anurserywith<br />
6500 new poplars and willows.<br />
The programme alsoaims to complete<br />
42 free landuse capability maps.<br />
Afeatureofthe maps is that staff look<br />
at soil, slope and rock type on properties,<br />
the existing erosionand its severity, and<br />
what is growing.They thenmap the<br />
information for farmers, showingthe<br />
capabilityofthe land, and devisea<br />

farm system works, and allow for the<br />
budgeting of resources to reduce erosion<br />
over 10 years.<br />
Assessmentsare also made on the best<br />
soil conservation measures,such as<br />
space planting or retiringunderutilised<br />

Waipara landownerRichard<br />
Murchisonsays his poplar planting<br />
regime in ablock whereerosion had the<br />
potentialtobeaproblem wasboosted by<br />
being able to apply for SCAR funding.<br />
‘‘The benefits are twofold.First,it<br />
stops erosion and sediment into<br />
waterways, and second,itprovides stock<br />
shelter and shade.Itwas asmooth<br />
processthroughout,”hesays.<br />
Peter Fitzpatrick, of Cheviot, had<br />
already beenplanting 100 to 150 polesa<br />
yearfor more than 20 years. He saysit<br />
madesensetoaccess the funding and<br />
advice. “Thebenefits to thistype of<br />
planting are many–preventingerosion,<br />
shade in thesummerfor stock, and the<br />
planting looks good.’’<br />
ECan<strong>North</strong>ern Zonedeliverymanager<br />
Andrew Arps saysthe team hasfound the<br />
community receptive to the package.<br />
‘‘Putting in space planting and retiring<br />
erosionprone landimproves bothfarm<br />
systems and environmental outcomes,<br />
suchasreduced phosphorus in streams<br />
and increased biodiversity.”<br />
Tackling subsidence ... Poplars, once<br />
established, will limit erosion.<br />
Relief over firearm exemption<br />
Federated Farmersisrelieved thatits<br />
advocacy for farmers to be able to apply<br />
for endorsements to use prohibited<br />
firearms for pestcontrol has succeeded.<br />
ASupplementary Order Paperhas<br />
been introduced to the Arms Legislation<br />
Bill that allowsagriculturaland forestry<br />
businesses to apply forendorsements to<br />
use prohibited firearms for pestcontrol<br />
as part of their business operations.<br />
However, therewill be strict vetting<br />
and qualificationcriteria for farmersto<br />
meet.<br />
This includes demonstrating their<br />
suitability and proving prohibited<br />
firearms are needed to controlthe<br />
economic and environmental damage of<br />
problemspecies suchasferal pigs,feral<br />
goats, deer, wallabies, rabbits, hares and<br />
Canada geese.<br />
The endorsements for landowners<br />
will put them on the same footing as<br />

Classy Kaiapoi pummels Saracens<br />
By LINDSAY KERR and<br />
PETER WILLIAMS<br />
RUGBY<br />
Kaiapoi’s players have inked<br />
themselves in as virtually<br />
certain semifinalists, showing<br />
the sort of talent that suggests<br />
they could go all the way in the<br />
<strong>2020</strong> Luisetti Seeds <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Rugby competition.<br />
They thrashed alacklustre<br />
Saracens team 457 at the<br />
weekend.<br />
Saracens never got into the<br />
match, being comprehensively<br />
outplayed in every facet.<br />
Up front, Kaiapoi dominated<br />
in the scrums and lineouts, as<br />
well as at the breakdown.<br />
In the backline, Kaiapoi<br />
showed confidence that posed a<br />
constant threat to its<br />
opposition.<br />
Saracens tried hard. Brett<br />
Hancox, playing on the flank,<br />
and Ollie Ashby at halfback<br />
were two of Saracens’ better<br />
players.<br />
Kaiapoi put in atotal team<br />
effort. It is almost unfair to<br />
single out any individuals, but<br />
Connor Smith at lock had a<br />
gargantuan game and Rob<br />
Samson at fullback showed his<br />
class every time he got near the<br />
ball.<br />
Scorers: Kaiapoi 45 (Samson<br />
(3), Ben Wicksteed, Luka<br />
Tootoo, and Iowane<br />
Koroitukana (2) tries; Taine<br />
JacobsLawson, Lance Taylor<br />
(4) conversions.) Saracens 7<br />
(Hadrian Jackson try, Ricky<br />
Allin conversion).<br />
Hardfought win<br />
GlenmarkCheviot’s<br />
unbeaten run continued, but it<br />
did not come easily.<br />
Last week, it battled to a<br />
hardfought win over Hurunui.<br />
This time it was Ashley, which<br />
led its more fancied rivals at<br />
the break before losing 2026.<br />
Playing on its home ground<br />
before apacked gallery, Ashley<br />
threw everything at the visitors,<br />
scoring first with apenalty goal<br />
before half back Brett Cameron<br />
scored atry, following amove<br />
that started with an intercept.<br />
Glenmark responded and,<br />
after asolid buildup, Angus<br />
Harrison scored in the corner.<br />
Fifteen minutes the side took<br />
the lead when Hayden<br />
O’Donnell crashed over in a<br />
wall of jerseys to score.<br />
With halftime looming,<br />
Korbyn Gray kicked Ashley<br />
ahead 1312 with his second<br />
penalty.<br />
The scene was set for the<br />
final outcome in the opening<br />
moments of the second half,<br />
when Glenmark’s livewire<br />
loosie Jacob Vincent scored a<br />
try. This was converted by<br />
super boot Brook Retallick.<br />
Ashley continued to irritate<br />
Touchdown ... Rob Samson scores for Kaiapoi against Saracens.<br />
its opposition and attacked<br />
with vigour. However, on two<br />
occasions when in promising<br />
attacking situations the side<br />
was let down by lineout<br />
inaccuracies.<br />
Fifteen minutes from time,<br />
Retallick seized on asloppy<br />
Ashley pass and sprinted 40m to<br />
take his team to a2613 lead.<br />
Ashley stayed in the contest<br />
and after aspirited attack the<br />
Ashley forwards rumbled over<br />
the line, with Louis James the<br />
try scorer.<br />
GlenmarkCheviot’s overall<br />
accuracy was again the key to<br />
its success. Lock Angus Foster<br />
and prop Hayden O’Donnell<br />
were standout performers in<br />
the pack, while halfback Jordy<br />
Gray organised the backs with<br />
efficiency and enthusiasm.<br />
While beaten, Ashley again<br />
showed that the team of <strong>2020</strong> is<br />
one that will improve with each<br />
outing and should emerge as<br />
serious semifinal contenders.<br />
Scoreboard: Glenmark<br />
Cheviot; 26 (Angus Harrison,<br />
Hayden O’Donnell, Jacob<br />
Vincent tries; Brook Retallick a<br />
try and three conversions.)<br />
Ashley 20 (Brett Cameron,<br />
Louis James tries; Korbyn Gray<br />
2conversions, 2penalties.)<br />

Comeback effort<br />
Hurunui bounced back from<br />
its loss to Glenmark to come<br />
from well behind to head off a<br />
visiting Ohoka side 2825.<br />
While the victory was sweet<br />
for Hurunui, it was agony for<br />
Ohoka, which led for most of the<br />
game, only to lose by 3points.<br />
Hurunui posted the first<br />
points with apenalty before<br />
Ohoka equalised. Both sides<br />
traded tries before Tom Taylor<br />
put Ohoka ahead 158 with a<br />
converted try on halftime.<br />
