Invisible road sparks safety 

concerns for nearby resident 

• By Devon Bolger 

IMPROVEMENTS will be 

made to signage on the Weedons 

overbridge near the Southern 

Motorway due to health and safety 

concerns. 

It comes after Weedons resident 

Gary Doyle made a complaint to 

the contractors, Downer and Mc- 

Connell Dowell, about the issue. 

He said if you are travelling 

down the Weedons Rd overbridge 

toward Lincoln, there is a roundabout 

sign that shows a road going 

straight, and one to the right. 

What the sign does not show is 

a section of Weedons Rd, where 

Doyle lives, that connects to the left 

of the roundabout. 

“Anyone coming down to the 

roundabout is not expecting to 

have someone slowing right down, 

virtually to a stop, to make a very 

hard left-hand turn to get onto that 

road.’’ 

Doyle also said if traffic is coming 

around the roundabout from the 

other direction, drivers are expecting 

it to go straight ahead, but instead it 

cuts right across in front of them. 

“My wife and I have nearly been 

T-boned by other vehicles. 

“It is a real health and safety issue 

in my opinion.” 

NZTA figures show there have 

been no crashes at the roundabout 

since it was completed last year.

DANGER: Gary Doyle says people do not know to watch for traffic on the section of Weedons Rd he lives on because 

it is not included in a sign on the overbridge.

SOME PEOPLE will steal 

anything they can get their 

hands on. 

In recent months the 

district has seen a spate of 

thefts from building sites in 

which whiteware has been the 

main target. 

Today (page 3) we report 

on a crime wave in the 

Springfield, Sheffield and 

Darfield areas where farm 

gates and fencing are being 

stolen. 

Police initially thought 

it might be drug growers 

stealing to protect their crops 

from stock. That theory hasn’t 

grown any legs in terms of 

evidence or intelligence. 

So it’s possibly being stolen 

to be used on other rural 

properties in the district, or 

elsewhere. 

But I wouldn’t want to be 

the receiver of the gate if the 

owner happens to chance 

upon it.

Thieves target 

farm gates and fencing 


FARM GATES and fencing 

have become the latest target for 

thieves across the district. 

Senior 

Sergeant Dean 

Harker said 

there have 

been about 

20-30 incidents 

of gates and 

fencing being 

Dean Harker 

stolen across 

the district over 

the last few weeks. 

This includes seven thefts over 

the weekend. 

Springfield farmer Thomas 

Ferguson had six of his farm 

•From page 1 

Elizabeth Emery is the 

stakeholder liaison manager of 

the Downer and McConnell 

Dowell joint venture team. 

She said: “The detailed design 

went through a safety audit process, 

undertaken by a team of independent 

road safety experts, at the 

gates stolen on Saturday night. 

“It just p***** me off that 

somebody has come onto my 

property and taken my stuff. 

We didn’t think they would be 

targeted,” he said. 

Ferguson said, fortunately, 

none of his stock got out of their 

detailed design stage of the project 

and was considered to be safe. 

“A further ‘safety audit’ will 

be undertaken on completion 

of construction to ensure an acceptable 

road safety standard has 

been achieved.” 

Emery said they have 

been asked by a resident to 

paddocks but the gates will cost 

about $150 each to replace. 

Harker said it is rural areas in 

Darfield, Sheffield and Springfield 

that are being targeted the 

most. 

“We are unsure exactly why 

they are being taken, the scrap 

modify signage and road markings 

so motorists can identify 

the road. 

“We are nearing completion 

of a proposal for this. Once this 

process is completed we intend 

to implement these signage and 

road marking changes.” 

They expect the changes to be 

metal value would be very limited. 

“Possibly somebody might be 

starting up a farm and is using 

the gates.” 

Police are not sure if the gates 

and fencing are being taken out 

of the district. 

“The gates can be quite big 

so the offenders are going to 

need some sort of ute or quite 

a big trailer to transport 

them. 

“It is quite alarming. If the 

gates are stolen, stock can get out 

on the road or if people have got 

cattle then bulls could get in with 

the cows or anything like that.”

column, page 11.

VEGETATION FIRE 

Fire crews were called to a 

vegetation fire in the middle 

of a paddock in Rolleston last 

Wednesday morning. Firefighters 

attended the incident on 

Robinsons Rd at about 1.30am. 

A Fire and Emergency NZ 

spokeswoman said they had 

received reports of bushes on fire. 

“When we arrived we found an 

unattended vegetation fire and we 

extinguished it with no issues. It 

was in the middle of a paddock 

but it was unattended so we put 

it out.” The spokeswoman said 

the fire is not being treated as 

suspicious. 

LINCOLN MANSE INTEREST 

Four parties are showing interest 

in purchasing and relocating 

the Lincoln Union Church’s 

old manse building. Church 

member Alex Dunlop said it is 

still early in the process. The old 

manse building, built in 1889, 

is being offered for $1 as long 

as it is moved from its current 

site on James St. The building 

is being sold as the church can 

no longer afford to maintain it.

Terminal illness mixed with 


STUART Armstrong has a 

terminal illness and when 

he gets close to the time, 

he wants to choose how he 

dies. 

That is one of the reasons 

the Lincoln resident is running 

for Act in the general 

election in September. 

Act is campaigning on 

the legalisation of euthanasia. 

“Like many in my 

position, I do not want to 

die reliant on an ever-increasing 

dose of morphine, 

slowly but inexorably 

drawing me further from 

consciousness and closer 

to death. 

“I wish for death, if I’m 

able, on the back of my 

horse Julia with my wife, 

family and friends around 

me for support. I will die 

as I have lived, with spirit, 

energy and passion.” 

The 60-year-old was 

diagnosed with terminal 

prostate cancer six years 

ago. 

“I have what they call 

a life-limiting prognosis. 

Some people live one or 

two years, I asked the oncologist 

what the top end is 

for me and he said he’s had 

one patient make 10 years 

so I said I would like to be 

the second.

politics 

“I am at six years post-chemo 

and post-surgery. That is a 

good, decent stretch and I am 

obviously hoping for another few 

years yet.” 

One of Armstrong’s key campaign 

points is the End of Life 

Choice Bill. 

He believes people should have 

the option to choose a death that 

reflects their life and beliefs. 

“I was the committee chairman 

for Act in Ilam back in 1996 so 

I have always been interested in 

politics but I have waxed and 

waned a little on the interest 

until David Seymour’s Bill came 

along.” 

When asked if he thinks he has 

a chance of winning in Selwyn, 

Armstrong said: “I don’t. I am 

campaigning for the party vote 

for Act, it’s as simple as that. 

“We would support an MMP 

strategic vote for Selwyn where 

the voters may wish to consider 

giving their electorate vote to 

National candidate Nicola Grigg 

and their party vote to Act.” 

Armstrong is an energetic, 

sporting man who has lived an 

active life. 

He has a wife, Rebecca, and two 

adult children, Rachel, 31, and 

Sean, 29. 

He played table tennis up until 

last year and has represented New 

Zealand as a junior, senior and 

veteran. 

Labour candidate has 

hard-working values 


LABOUR’S candidate Reuben 

Davidson may not live in the 

district but he is still confident 

voters will support him. 

“I can see in Selwyn, there is a 

large group of people who think 

they could be better served and 

so that is what motivated me to 

put my hand up and accept that 

challenge,” he said. 

“People who have traditionally 

voted for National can really 

see that the plan Labour has to 

recover and rebuild is going to be 

good for Selwyn as well as New 

Zealand.” 

The 42-year-old lives in 

Lyttelton and is on the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board. 

At the last election in 2017, 

Labour’s Tony Condon received 

20.77 per cent of the votes against 

Amy Adams 65.86 per cent. 

Davidson said he would move 

to the district if he happened to 

win the seat or became a Labour 

list MP. He is currently ranked 

67th on the list. 

Davidson works as a series 

producer at Whitebait Media 

where he has been for 15 years. 

Recently he created the 

television show Fanimalsand he 

helped produce What Now for 

seven years. 

Davidson said his time with

Community Board member

the community board proved his 

passion for politics. 

“I have loved it so far. The 

work I have done through my 

life and also really recently at 

a community level has really 

motivated me to get more 

involved at a political level.” 

He said a key value for him is 

hard work. 

“I got my first job by the time 

I was 14, working at Espresso 

124 on the terrace. I lived within 

walking distance of school but I’d 

bus into the city to work starting 

at about 6.30am and then bus 

back for school.” 

18-year-old’s bid 

to be a Greens MP 


ABE O’DONNELL might only 

be 18 but that is not stopping 

him making a bid to help run 

New Zealand. 

O’Donnell, who lives in 

Prebbleton, is the Greens 

candidate for the Selwyn 

electorate. 

Recovering from anorexia 

inspired him to get into politics. 

“Early last year, I had an 

eating disorder. Recovering from 

this was what opened me up to 

the absurd number of problems 

in the world which are caused 

by our food choices,” O’Donnell 

said. 

“Food-related chronic diseases 

are now the leading cause 

of premature death and the 

Government is doing nothing 

about mitigating this.” 

He said one of the key issues 

in the district is needed changes 

in food production in the 

agricultural sector. 

“It is the role of the 

Government to support a 

transition towards centreing 

our agricultural sector around 

regenerative methods of plant 

production.” 

O’Donnell is a Canterbury 

University student studying 

towards a Bachelor of Law and

his recovery from anorexia. 

a Bachelor of Arts, majoring 

in political science and 

international relations, minoring 

in nutrition. 

His main goal is to be a 

politician. But if that fails he 

intends to become a lawyer. 

O’Donnell is realistic that he 

has little chance of upstaging 

National and winning the seat 

for the Greens. 

He said his role is about 

promoting Greens to increase 

the party vote in the district. 

He grew up in Ashburton and 

attended Christchurch Boys’ 

High School in 2017. He moved 

to Prebbleton later the same 

year.

Health concerns close pool 


HEALTH AND safety concerns 

have forced the closure of the 

Halkett Pool. 

The pool will be closed for the 

summer season this year and 

the plug could be pulled permanently. 

In a report to the district council, 

group manager community 

services and facilities Denise 

Kidd said the closure is due to 

health and safety risks. 

The pool, 

which is managed 

by the 

Halkett Community 

Centre 

committee, 

was checked by 

district council 

Denise Kidd 

staff in January 

and was found 

to have had 11 days in a row of 

non-compliant water readings. 

This included zero chlorine 

residue in the pool and the circulation 

and filtration not running. 

This resulted in cloudy water to 

the point the bottom of the pool 

could not be seen, Kidd said. 

The Halkett Pool committee 

was not able to respond to questions 

from the Selwyn Times 

yesterday. 

Halkett resident Alastair Nicol 

said it would be a shame to lose 

the pool which is an asset to the 

POOL’S CLOSED: The Halkett Pool has been closed for the upcoming summer season due 

to health and safety concerns and permanent closure will be consulted on. 

community. 

“I think the proposal to close 

the pool is premature. It’s a lovely 

facility and is associated with the 

playground and the big extensive 

area for kids to run around. 

“In saying that, I do think 

there needs to be some improvement 

in how the pool is managed,” 

he said. 

Kidd said in spite of the district 

attempting to engage and 

educate the committee responsible 

for managing the pool, it has 

been unsuccessful. 

“Unfortunately, the Halkett 

Pool committee has demonstrated 

little or no attempt to 

increase health and safety or 

water quality practices over the 

last two seasons. 

“The current committee 

management model is not effective 

and council has insufficient 

budget to lifeguard and operate 

this pool to achieve safe operation.” 

Last year, the district council 

decided it would be best for pool 

committee members to attend 

and complete an Introduction to 

Pool Operations course. 

The Halkett committee was 

asked to attend at no cost but no 

members attended, Kidd said. 

District councillors 

unanimously voted to close the 

pool temporarily at a meeting 

last week and permanent closure 

will be considered as part of the 

Long Term Plan.

Site sought 

for Lincoln 

dog park 


THE LINCOLN Wetland and an 

extended Lincoln Domain could 

be potential spots for a dog park. 

The district council is also looking 

into one of the new residential 

developments being the home of 

the park. 

The idea was discussed at a 

Lincoln Community Committee 

meeting. 

Said district council group 

manager property Douglas 

Marshall: “The committee has 

approached the council about its 

desire for a dog park in Lincoln, 

and we have advised them that 

the council will give consideration 

to the proposal. 

“This will most likely be through 

the Long Term Plan process.” 

Springs Ward district councillor 

Grant Miller said there are three 

options on the table. 

“We are looking at an extension 

of the Lincoln Domain for quite a 

long time so we are in the process 

of trying to acquire more land to 

make that happen and as part of 

that proposal is we could place a 

dog park in there. 

“Another option is in the 

Lincoln Wetland but the downside 

to that is there is some native 

wildlife there.’’

Inspiration home 

opens in Lincoln 

A new inspiration home, which promises to stimulate and inspire, 

opens this Saturday at Flemington in Lincoln. 

Build7’s latest inspiration home is both inspirational and practical. 

From its siting on the land to the many features throughout the home, 

viewers will get many ideas for their own new home. 

Build7 Christchurch is now seven years old and over that time, owners 

Jamie and Francesca Cowan have gained a reputation for transparency, 

honesty and reliability. 

“We care about our clients. They’re not just a number and we definitely 

listen to what they want from their ‘must haves’ through to what they 

can afford,” explains Jamie. 

Jamie has considerable experience in the industry with over twenty

renovations – and some light commercial work. 

Jamie and his project team, which includes a Project Manager and 

Quantity Surveyor take a close interest in each and every build they do. 

They are involved from first contact with clients through to completion 

of their new home. He and his team help them through the build 

process, suggesting where they might go to choose features and fittings 

while not pushing specific standard specifications or products. 

“We have a really good team, from my sales and design people through 

to those who work on site,” advises Tony Hutchison, Build7’s Sales 

Manager for Selwyn and Canterbury. 

He emphasises the importance of the design process and taking time 

to learn why clients are building, as well as what they need and want in 

their future home. 

“We start with a blank bit of paper with our team taking clients through 

every step of the design, decision-making and build,” says Tony. 

Clients work with an interior designer who guides them through the 

stages of selecting colours, fittings and fixtures for their new home, 

from the hardware to the colours, tiles and carpet on the floor. 

“It’s the client’s house. They should be free to pick what they want and 

have a real sense of ownership, having more control over the home that 

is built for them,” adds Tony. 

Jamie emphasises that clients can choose whatever they want with price 

range options also presented so they have a clear understanding of the 

items which fit within their budget. 

“Building a home is a big investment. Every square metre costs money 

so we want every part of the home to work for our clients. I personally 

care about my clients and take a lot of responsibility on board when 

they sign up with us. I feel a commitment to delivering a quality home 

incorporating the features they desire,” says Jamie. 

Build7 Christchurch is a local Lincoln-based building company, 

working across the Canterbury region. You will find their new 

inspiration home at 29 Craig Thompson Drive at Flemington in 

Lincoln.

Hunting for trouble – poaching and the police 

Area response manager 

Senior Sergeant Dean 

Harker talks about police 

activity in the district 

With food prices soaring, 

poaching could become an 

attractive alternative to shopping 

at the supermarket. 

Police have wide legislative 

powers available to counter this 

type of offending. A range of 

powers are found in the Wild 

Animal Control Act 1977 which 

controls the spread of harmful 

wild animals and, as part of this, 

legislates against illegal hunting. 

Under the Act it is an offence 

to hunt, kill or possess wild 

animals without the express 

authority of the owner or 

occupier of the relevant land. 

The maximum fine is up 

to $100,000 plus two years 

imprisonment. 

Charges can also be brought 

under the Forest and Rural fire 

Regulations 2005 for being in an 

exotic forest without the required 

permit. An exotic forest is 

defined as one made up solely or 

mainly of non-indigenous trees. 

Offenders thinking about 

committing crime in our area 

should also be warned that any 

hunting-related items including 

firearms, knives, dogs, GPS units 

and vehicles may be seized and 

forfeited. 

Poaching can be the catalyst 

for other crimes, such as 

damaging machinery and the 

theft of fuel. 

Police will also be on alert at 

any attempts to steal stock. 

Preventing crime 

Security options for 

farmers to consider include 

installing CCTV or wireless alert 

system which can activate an 

Dean Harker 

Selwyn Police 

alarm in your house to alert 

you that someone is in your 

shed by alarm or light 

sensors. 

These devices are highly 

effective and can even work 

in areas across some distance, 

where there is no cell coverage. 

There are also satellite GPS 

devices available that can be 

installed covertly on items 

such as quad bikes and other 

machinery which can be tracked 

if they get stolen. Satellite devices 

also do not require cell coverage 

to track. 

Longer Monday hours at station 

THE ROLLESTON Police 

station will now be open until 

8pm on Mondays to make it 

easier for those who work to 

visit the station. 

The station usually closes to 

the public at 4pm. The later 

hours will come into affect 

from Monday. 

It is just so we can meet 

the needs of the public 

because some people can’t 

get in before we close during 

the week so we will just have 

someone there at the front 

desk for them. 

The move follows the 

decision to have the police 

station staffed 24/7 during the 

Covid-19 lockdown period. 

The station is no longer 

staffed full-time but there is 

still 24/7 police coverage in the 

district. 

Crime prevention signage 

Two crime prevention signs are 

available to help deter unlawful 

hunters and trespassers. 

Both signs can be purchased 

through Neighbourhood Support 

(www.neighbourhoodsupport. 

co.nz/post/new-rural-crimeprevention-signs-proving- 

popular) as part of a joint 

initiative with police. 

Sign 1 - Hunters be Aware 

Sign 2 - Camera Operating 

Both signs are printed on 4mm 

white aluminium composite 

material with a UV resistant 

anti-graffiti laminate. Sign size 

is A3 – 297mm x 420mm. The 

estimated lifespan for the signs 

is 15 years. Both come with six 

holes for easy installation. 

Price – $16.30 excluding GST.

Theft of fences and gates 

Rural Selwyn is noting a large 

increase in the theft of farm gates 

and electric fencing over the last 

few weeks. 

Here is some crime prevention 

advice farmers can apply: 

1. Invert the top hinge (so 

it is downwards facing) of all 

roadside boundary gates, so 

that they cannot be lifted off the 

strainer posts and hinge bolt. 

2. Weld over the base of the 

hinge and hinge bolt and nut. 

3. Weld your farm name on 

the top frame of the gate in an 

obvious place. 

4. Underneath and at the 

bottom hinge end of the steelframed 

gate, weld in your driver 

licence number into the frame, 

which will aid in identification of 

your gate if it is stolen. 

5. Chain and padlock your 

roadside boundary gates.

SELWYN TIMES 

Ex-Bandidos boss reveals why 

he turned his back on crime 

THE FORMER president of 

the New Zealand chapter of the 

Bandidos gang has spoken up 

about his decision to leave his 

life of crime last year in a series 

of videos where he also urges 

teenagers to stay away from gangs. 

Hamish Hiroki, who lived in 

Lincoln, left the gang last year and 

has taken to YouTube to explain 

the reasons behind the departure. 

He hopes his videos will inspire 

teenagers to steer clear of gangs. 

“I know there’s a lot of young 

followers that are joining clubs 

now and I think they feel the 

need to join clubs because everyone 

else is doing it,” he said in a 

video from May. 

He said he joined the gang originally 

because he was seeking “a 

sense of brotherhood and a sense 

of belonging to something”. 

He said he left after falling into 

a negative head space and realising 

he did not want his son to 

following in his footsteps. 

Hiroki initially joined the Bandidos 

gang when he’d just moved 

to Christchurch, where he didn’t 

know many people.

He added that he “lost himself

what others were doing. 

He climbed up the ranks and 

eventually became the president 

of the NZ chapter of the gang.

clarity was when he visited his

AFTER YEARS of fundraising, 

the Sheffield Fire Brigade has 

purchased a smoke chaser. 

The vehicle is a 2020 Mitsubishi 

Triton 4x4 and it has a 300-litre 

spray unit fitted to battle fires. 

Chief fire officer Neville Croy 

said: “This will enable us to get 

to fires where it is not practicable 

to take a large fire engine such as 

river beds and muddy farm tracks. 

“It will also enable us to respond 

quicker to non-fire related incidents 

such as medical calls and 

motor vehicle accidents where 

time is an important factor.” 

Croy said they have also 

been supplied with 19 new 

helmet torches which were 

donated by Peter Morrison and 

Liz Nattrass.

Sarah Walters responds 

to Selwyn Times’ articles 

on Fulton Hogan’s appeal 

against the conditions 

of its new quarry near 

Weedons 

The photo on the front page 

of the July 15 issue should be a 

wake-up call for everyone across 

the district. 

That such a large quarry could 

be established so close to residential 

and commercial areas is 

astounding – and yet that is what 

the rules allow. 

I doubt anyone involved in any 

part of the application process 

could truly deny that it will have 

a negative impact on anyone 

living, working or even passing 

through the area. 

While there are likely many 

people involved in the process 

who would prefer not to have a 

quarry located there, the conditions 

that allow consent to be 

given were put in place many 

years ago, with the acceptance 

of our loose district and regional 

planning rules. 

All of us are guilty, because 

we have allowed the mantra that 

economic growth and infrastructure 

are more important than 

people and that building roads is 

more important than less intrusive 

transport options to prevail. 

I truly feel for the people 

caught on the wrong side of these 

circumstances but also recognise 

the challenges of needing to 

follow the rules regardless of the 

injustice of those rules.

Future education 

provision in the Rolleston area 

YOU BRING THE DREAM, 

WE'LL BRING THE 

There is ongoing and 

projected growth in the 

Rolleston area, meaning 

that additional secondary 

provision will likely be 

required by 2025. A new 

primary school in East 

Rolleston located at a site on 

Ed Hillary Drive is projected 

to open in term 1, 2022. 

The existing four state primary 

schools (Clearview Primary, 

Lemonwood Grove School, 

Rolleston School and West 

Rolleston Primary School) are 

about to start consultation on 

amendments to their current 

enrolment scheme boundaries. 

This will minimise the risk of 

overcrowding at each school, as 

well as determining the enrolment 

scheme boundaries for the new 

school in East Rolleston when it 

opens in 2022. 

The options for additional 

secondary provision are an 

additional Year 9 – 13 secondary 

school with its own enrolment 

scheme home zone, and the 

Rolleston College home zone 

would be adjusted to allow for 

this. Alternatively, the additional 

secondary provision could be 

a second campus of Rolleston 

College that could be configured in 

a number of different ways.

zoning process, the detailed 

options for additional secondary 

provision and an online survey to 

gather feedback can be found at:

International students 

THE ROTARY Club of Lincoln 

hosted 20 international students 

and their families for dinner in a 

bid to welcome the young scholars

The annual event of the club

students and their families come 

from China, India, Jordan, Sri

“This was an excellent opportunity 

for us to learn about 

different cultures; students also 

felt they are so welcome in New 

Zealand,” Gooneratne said. 

“The students are studying at 

different faculties of the university 

and each gave a two-minute 

talk about their country, culture

This allowed club members to 

become aware of some of the

welcomes visitors and new 

members.

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in 

entomology (insects and other invertebrates). 

Each week he introduces a new species found 

in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims 

to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the 

variety of living things around us. Check out the full list of

Rove beetles are 

important scavengers 

EVER HEARD of the devil’s 

coach horse? It’s not actually 

a horse at all – it belongs to 

a family of beetles called 

Staphylinidae or rove beetles. 

There are at least 42,000 

rove beetle species worldwide 

and over 1020 species in New 

Zealand. Rove beetles range in 

size from 2mm to over 30mm but 

most are easily characterised by 

their truncated, hard forewing 

which protect its membranous 

wings beneath. 

Most rove beetles are black in 

colour and nocturnal, although 

some smaller species are known 

to fly during the day. 

Rove beetles are found in a 

range of organic matter including 

compost, leaf litter, mushrooms, 

under bark, and in soil. 

Larger species are known to 

be generalist predators, preying 

on insect eggs or larvae, pupae, 

springtails, mites and even dead 

animals. 

Other smaller rove beetle 

species feed on fungi, algae, dung 

and fermenting fruits. 

The species shown is Oxytelus 

sculptus, an exotic species 5-7mm 

long and was found in my 

compost bin. 

I was born in the deep south, Tuatapere, gateway to Fiordland. 

I grew up among some stunning scenery but it wasn’t really until I 

travelled the world that I saw just how special it was. 

I am a Christchurch based, self-taught artist painting semi-abstract 

landscapes that are earthy and textural. My paintings are inspired 

by New Zealand landscape, particularly Central Otago, Mackenzie 

Country and Canterbury. 

My works are descriptive of landforms shaped by both natural 

forces and man. Weathering, erosion and human activity lead to an 

ever-changing terrain. 

There is often a touch of both flora and water in my paintings that 

allude to the idea of the land sustaining life. 

Flowing Through 

The paintings have layers of colour and texture through 

which I chisel, scrape, eliminate, add back and interact 

with the painting to reveal the essence of a landscape. 

I hope painting our NZ landscape may encourage the 

viewer to recognise the beauty of the land and to feel 

responsibility for looking after it.

Key intersection 

upgrade complete 

Before 

The Tennyson Street and Lowes Road intersection in Rolleston will reopen this week following a 

major upgrade and installation of traffic lights. 

The traffic lights and additional traffic and cycle lanes have been added during the upgrade, along with 

new adjoining footpath and cycleway connections, new streetlights, and drainage improvements. 

The intersection upgrade was needed to meet the demand from extra traffic entering and exiting 

Rolleston via the State Highway 1/Weedons Road Interchange and along Tennyson Street. 

Council Transportation Asset Manager Andrew Mazey says the upgraded intersection is a critical 

part of a long-running series of projects to fully upgrade Lowes Road to prepare for this. 

The intersection is also the main connection between the growing residential areas in the southern 

part of Rolleston and the town centre and 11,000 vehicles per day travel across the Lowes Road 

intersection to and from Tennyson Street. 

The upgrade will improve links between the town centre and Foster Park, Selwyn Aquatic Centre, 

schools and new residential areas to the south of Rolleston, Mr Mazey says. 

It will also provide more safety for pedestrians and cyclists, particularly the large and growing 

number of Rolleston School students who cycle to and from school through the intersection. 

The Council is grateful for the road users’ patience with the road closures and diversions required 

to do this major work safely and effectively, he says. 

Minor landscaping and tidy up work around the intersection will be completed over the next 

few weeks. 

E-Scooters to stay in Selwyn 

Selwyn has become the first New Zealand location outside a major 

urban centre to grant e-scooter licences. 

The Council has issued an initial one-year licence to e-scooter 

operators Lava and Lime following a successful six-month trial that 

saw people taking around 3,800 rides a month pre-lockdown. 

Lava and Lime will have a total of 220 scooters operating in 

Rolleston, Lincoln and Prebbleton, and on cycleways between the 

towns. The companies will pay an annual licence fee of $72.79 a 

year per scooter. 

With people taking 22,677 rides on scooters by mid-July, Mayor 

Sam Broughton says the scooters are another sign of Selwyn as a 

forward-looking district that embraces new ideas. 

“It’s great to see the scooters have been used by the community as 

an alternative to hopping in a car. I’m delighted that we now have 

a permanent environmentally friendly and convenient option for 

getting around our towns. ” 

The Council granted a six-month trial to the companies to operate 

a total of 300 scooters, starting in mid-December last year. The 

trial was due to end in June, but was extended to the end of July 

because of the Level 4 lockdown period. 

For the trial to mid-July people were using the scooters at an 

average of over 3,800 trips a month. There were no accidents or 

significant injuries reported over that time. 

During the trial, there was one substantiated complaint of an 

e-scooter left on the road. The scooter in the road was rapidly 

removed and the company apologised. 

There were two complaints of scooters blocking footpaths and 

Council staff found both scooters were correctly parked. Council 

also received 11 complaints from people who said they did not like 

the scooters. 

The Councillors noted that the companies had been professional 

and accommodating of Council requests and have endeavoured to 

provide a quality service for e-scooter users within the district. 

Aquatic Centre sees millions of visits 

over seven years 

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre just gets more popular with age as it celebrates its seventh birthday. 

More than 2.2 million people have visited the Aquatic Centre since it opened in June 2013. The number of 

people using the centre is growing each year, rising from 258,000 in its first year to 403,088 in the 2018/19 

financial year. The centre was on track to top that number again this year before COVID-19 intervened. 

Its popularity was proved by a rapid resurgence in visitor numbers after lockdown, with numbers higher 

than the same time last year and over 1000 people a day coming through during the school holidays. 

The swim school has also seen steady growth, from 1,100 children taking lessons each term when the 

centre opened to around 2,200 enrolled each term for the past two years. Over 5,800 people a year also 

take part in the centre’s aqua fitness classes. 

Over the years the centre has hosted Swim Canterbury swim meets, provided space for scuba diving 

clubs, sports clubs and teams, physiotherapists and their clients, Burwood Hospital patients, disability 

groups and regularly hosts social events.

At the age of 22 and 25, Cam Clark and Kristina Squires-Ward saw an opportunity to give travelers an 

experience to remember. 

After travelling around the world and working in Canada, they came home to start their own business 

replacing the old Springfield café. 

The pair wanted to give the Springfield community something fresh and different to look forward to, 

starting with a complete renovation of the place. 

“We found that the business that was here before was more convenience-based, grab and go type 

thing. Our offering is more of a sit down and spend half an hour.” 

Since they opened in January, Cam and Kristina say they have received amazing support from the 

community and attracted lots of new customers. 

“It’s going really well. We were a bit concerned with the tourism not being around, because we do cater 

for tourists mostly, but the local support has been awesome. When we first opened they put an article 

in the Malvern News and lots of people from different townships came out to congratulate us and have 

a coffee and support us, which was so nice.” 

For Cam it was a little daunting living in the country and working in 

hospitality for the first time, but thankfully Kristina had experience in both. 

“My family is from Springfield, so it was nice and close to my old home, I 

used to actually work here when I was a kid, so it’s kind of gone full circle,” 

Kristina says. 

“I wouldn’t want to have Taste of Kiwi anywhere else,” Cam says. 

Offering great coffee, fish and chips, homemade soup, classic kiwi pies and 

gifts and plenty of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options, they aim to 

make Taste of Kiwi the place to stop on your journey through to Arthur’s Pass.

DARFIELD EMERGED as the 

only likely threat to Coleman 

Shield pace setters Southbridge 

and Waihora on Saturday. 

Darfield hammered Prebbleton 

34-8 in another lopsided division 

1 round. Southbridge accounted 

for a struggling Lincoln 48-17, 

Springston ran over Rolleston 

45-5 and as expected Waihora 

thumped Hornby 52-7. 

The round sees Southbridge 

lonely at the top of the table with 

SPORT 

Southbridge keeps 

hold of top spot 

29 points, followed by Darfield 

(21), Waihora (20), West Melton 

(20), Prebbleton (19), Springston 

(6), Lincoln (6), Hornby (0). 

Southbridge, Waihora and 

Darfield’s points differentials are 

the tell tale sign. The three sides 

have amassed a combined 680 

points for and conceded only 139. 

This weekend: Prebbleton v 

Southbridge, Waihora v West 

Melton, Springston v Darfield, 

Hornby v Lincoln, Rolleston (bye). 

Southbridge’s John McKeefry breaks through during his side’s 48-17 win over a struggling

More than ever, we now require our homes to 

be a sanctuary - a primate haven where the cares 

and pressures of the world do not intrude. The 

home should be an enveloping, warm and creative 

environment where family members of all ages feel 

relaxed and safe. 

The longer you live in your home, the more likely 

you are to feel in sync with it. 

As the seasons come and go you’ll have got to 

know which rooms are sunny and which ones need 

brightening. 

You’ll have noted areas prone to damp. You’ll have 

observed where different family members like to 

spend their time and why. 

You might have come to the conclusion that major 

changes are required to make your home as healthy 

as possible, or perhaps you’ve concluded that a few 

simple tweaks will do the trick. 

MATERIALS

piece of furniture all have their place in the healthy 

home and its surroundings. This trend steers away 

from plastics and synthetic materials. 

HEATING AND VENTILATION 

A home needs to be cool in summer, with plenty of 

natural ventilation, and warm in winter. Traditional 

open fires are being phased out and home owners 

are discovering the joys of installing modern wood 

burners, using gas for heating or installing a heat 

pump. All these options are healthy - technology has 

come a long way and most choices will see you saving 

money in the long run. 

STORAGE 

While a minimalist style might be fine for single 

people or couples without kids, when the patter of tiny 

feet comes along, good storage is going to be vital at

Gardening 

Attack thatch on your lawn next week 

EARLY AUGUST is the time to 

attack the thatch on your lawns. 

Thatch is caused by several factors, 

including grass type, excessive 

watering, soil compaction, 

high or low soil pH, or overuse of 

fertiliser and pesticides. 

Remove a core of soil from the 

lawn with a trowel or shovel and 

measure the depth of the thatch, 

which is the layer of dead grass 

above the soil line. 

A layer that is 1cm to 2.5cm 

thick can be removed with a stiff 

lawn rake. Deeper layers may 

require a power rake. 

The best time to de-thatch is 

just before the grass begins a 

period of active growth, which is 

usually early spring. 

For lawns with more than 3cm 

of thatch, power rakes or vertical 

mowers will need to be used and 

can be hired. 

Mow the lawn a little lower 

than usual. If needed, water it to 

moisten the soil. 

If you use a thatching rake, pull 

the blade-like tines across the 

lawn, cutting through the thatch. 

Work in sections, then remove 

the debris. 

If you are using a power rake or 

vertical mower, adjust the cutters 

to slice just through the thatch 

layer. Check cutter depth after 

the first metre. 

Run the machine in parallel 

rows over the lawn and then 

Control pests and diseases with winter spraying 

THE BEST antidote to a pest and 

disease-ridden spring garden is 

thorough winter spraying. 

Nothing toxic is required — 

simply give plants a good dowsing 

of copper spray, followed a week 

later by an application of spraying 

oil. Both of these are regarded as 

organic. 

Repeat three times over the 

winter months to kill both overwintering 

insect eggs and disease 

spores. It’s especially important to 

spray fruit trees (including citrus), 

roses and other deciduous plants, 

as well as any plants badly infested 

with insect pests or disease 

LAYERS: Thatch is dead grass which sits above the soil 

line. It should be removed during the winter before active 

spring growth. It is also time to dig over vacant areas.

Remove debris with a lawn

last summer. 

In fact, you should spray the 

entire garden, but wait for any 

winter-flowering plants to finish 

blooming before you begin. 

Garden pests lurk in the most 

unexpected places. 

Check the undersides of 

leaves for scale insects, and leaf 

sheaths and stems for mealybug 

and scale. 

Look for silvering of leaves on 

evergreen shrubs and trees including 

rhododendrons, camellias 

and pieris. This silvering indicates 

the presence of thrips. Spray oil 

to clean these up and reduce

EDIBLES 

• Dig over vacant areas and leave 

for frosts to pulverise the lumps. 

• Apply lime to vegetable garden 

their numbers for spring. Collect 

diseased fallen leaves and place in 

the rubbish bin (not the organics 

bin). 

Spray the ground around infected 

plants with copper spray to 

help kill disease spores. 

Winter-hardy weeds can 

overrun the garden, making 

control in spring a nightmare. 

Spray with fast-acting glyphosate 

or dig out hard-to-kill weeds such 

as dock. 

Once weeding is done, fork 

compost through soil and mulch 

with a 10cm layer of fine bark or 

pea straw. 

plots where green crops were dug 

to increase worm activity. 

• Spread a general fertiliser on 

areas to be planted next month. 

• Check peach, apricot and nectarine 

buds frequently. Spray with 

copper before bud burst to protect 

against curly leaf. Same spray 

for bladder plum. 

• In warm areas begin sowing 

in a protected position lettuces, 

peas, silver beet and spinach. 

• Sow outdoors hardy herbs, tender 

herbs under glass. 

• In warm areas or towards the 

end of the month sow under glass 

courgettes, eggplants, peppers 

and tomatoes. 

• Plant out asparagus, globe artichokes, 

cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, 

onions and silver beet. 

• Divide and replant rhubarb. 

• Fertilise citrus generously 

towards the end of the month. 

ORNAMENTAL 

• Plant deciduous trees, shrubs. 

• Complete pruning of roses and 

cutting back of all perennials. 

• Complete mulching garden 

beds. 

GENERAL 

• Slugs and snails abound, spread

• Ensure all-seasons oil and 

copper sprays have been applied 

to all fruit trees and roses.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

Bringing an 

ambulance 

back to life 

Nigel Winter and his brother, 

Richard were exploring an old quarry 

near their father’s farm when they 

found an old ambulance. 

It was the early 1970s and Nigel was 

barely a teenager. He and Richard 

pulled the ambulance out from where 

it had been dumped, then loaded it 

onto a trailer and took it home. The 

vehicle had no motor or wheels but was 

otherwise intact. 

The 1948 Ford Mercury was 

originally the Lyttelton ambulance. 

Nigel says he has seen television 

footage of the 1951 waterfront strike, 

with his ambulance in the foreground. 

After its time as an ambulance, it 

served a number of uses including 

as a mobile mechanic’s van in the 

Christchurch area. 

Nigel says three Ford Mercury 

cab-chassis were imported into New 

Zealand where Midland Motor Bodies 

built the bodywork from aluminium. 

When they found the ambulance, the 

body was rust-free and still is. 

The ambulance sat around the farm 

for another four or so years then 

after a motor-cycle crash when Nigel 

was off work with a broken leg, he 

began tinkering with it. By age 21, the 

ambulance had been restored to the 

point where it could legally be driven 

on the road. 

Restoring the vehicle was, however, 

spasmodic with the ambulance sitting 

in the back of a shed for years at a time. 

Five years ago, Nigel decided he 

would either finish the restoration 

project or dig a big hole and bury the 

ambulance. When his youngest son, 

Dale who is a car enthusiast, decided 

to wash the ambulance one day, it set 

in motion the process of completing 

its restoration and one year on, the 

ambulance is street legal again. 

“We put a 400 cubic inch V8 engine 

in and the suspension has been done. 

It now has modern power steering and 

disc brakes,” advises Nigel. 

The original colour of the ambulance 

was white. When they found the 

dumped vehicle it was blue and white. 

Nigel has since had the ambulance 

painted bright red. 

Due to work commitments and 

a busy life, Nigel has engaged the 

assistance of professionals to complete 

the finishing touches. Steve Allan 

Customs in Rangiora has sorted the 

suspension and taken care of other 

work needed to bring the vehicle up to 

certification standard. The ambulance 

is now being upholstered at Advanced 

Upholstery in Racecourse Hill. 

Nigel says the rear of the ambulance 

will be like a camper van so he and 

wife Francie, can head away and park 

up by a river for night or two and some 

fishing.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

Expertise in auto upholstery 

If restoring a vehicle or boat, there’s a good 

chance some upholstery may be needed, 

something which may not be straightforward. 

Auto trimming and auto marine upholstery 

can be challenging and complex work, especially 

when there is no pattern or original coverings for 

a guide. 

As a qualified auto marine upholsterer with 

close to 30 years’ experience in the field, Brian 

Stockdale is an expert in complex auto trimming 

or auto marine work. After completing his 

apprenticeship with Goslin Marine and Auto 

Upholstery (where he spent a number of years), 

Brian decided to go it alone. Fourteen years 

ago, Brian and wife, Sue established Advanced 

Upholstery Ltd. 

The fully equipped workshop at Advanced 

Upholstery, allows them to take care of a wide 

range of auto marine and specialist upholstery 

work. Whether a boat, motorhome, caravan, 

motor vehicle, motorcycle, or treasured piece 

of furniture, they can assist. Brian has even 

recovered a pool table. 

While Brian’s focus is on upholstering, Sue 

plays an integral part in the business, looking 

after the administration, sales and marketing. 

Together they possess considerable knowledge in 

the field. 

Brian has the skills to tackle all kinds of 

specialist upholstery work, made to a customer’s 

requirements. This includes constructing the 

frames for squabs, or panelling and head lining, 

for vintage and classic cars. If you need your 

boat upholstered or a road cover for your boat, 

Advanced Upholstery can also take care of this. 

“Virtually anything which needs a piece of 

canvas or vinyl, Brian can make,” says Sue. 

Their expertise, quality workmanship and 

efficiency explains why Advanced Upholstery Ltd 

is recognised for all facets of upholstery work, 

and why people send their vehicles to them from 

all over the South Island. 

“With full restoration work, when the vehicles 

arrive they’re virtually all metal. Brian creates the 

door panels and head lining, carpets the car then 

puts the vehicle back together again, attaching 

the door handles, visors and other parts,” explains 

Sue. 

With no patterns available, the restoration work 

is often completed using pictures provided by the 

customer, with Brian spending time with each 

customer to find out what they are wanting. 

Advanced Upholstery completes insurance 

work and has a showroom, where there are 

samples of leather, vinyl, canvas and other fabrics; 

caravan and window squabs; and photos of work 

completed. 

For advice or to book in auto marine or 

specialised upholstery work, call Sue on 03 318 

7378, email advancedupholsteryltd@xtra.co.nz, 

or call into Advanced Upholstery at Racecourse

SELWYN TIMES 

Powered up in fully electric Ioniq 

IF THERE was one good thing 

to come out of the alert level 

three coronavirus lockdown, it 

would be that it heightened my 

awareness of hybrid technology. 

In the interest of public safety, 

the local Hyundai dealership 

closed its doors early, a couple 

of days before lockdown. It was 

on one of those days that I was 

scheduled to return an Ioniq 

plug-in hybrid, that being the 

case, I was left with it in my care 

for that month. 

During that time I used it to 

take my wife to work on a daily 

basis, she was deemed an essential 

worker. 

I grew to appreciate that 

hybrids have their place and the 

Ioniq PHEV made a marked 

impression for its economy and 

ease of use, it really is much the 

normal car. 

As its nameplate would suggest, 

the Ioniq in this form has a 

petrol engine and electric motor 

which work together in traditional 

hybrid fashion; however, it 

also has the benefit of being able 

to charge the battery through a 

plug-in household electric supply, 

or from a charge station such as 

those at malls. Really it’s the best 

of all worlds for those who feel 

they need to do their bit for the 

environment. 

Or else, you could do away 

with the petrol engine in total. 

The Hyundai Ioniq is also on 

the market as an electric vehicle 

only, its sole source of propulsion 

is through an electric motor 

powered by a 38kWh lithium-ion 

polymer battery bank, charged 

through plug-in. 

This evaluation focuses on the 

$66,000 Ioniq EV ($72,000 Elite). 

It is there for those who want to 

make the total commitment to 

get away from burning fossil fuel. 

I have to say, I’m not ready for 

that challenge, but I’m constantly 

hearing EVs are the way of the 

future and I’m all too willing to 

look at them with an open mind, 

and my experience with the 

PHEV certainly paved the way, it 

provided a good introduction. 

Those who do want totally 

electric will need to be prepared 

to pay for it, it’s $12,000 more expensive 

than the PHEV, although 

it would be expected that cost 

would be recovered over a period 

of time, buying electricity is said 

to be much cheaper than buying 

petrol. 

Hyundai claim a $5 cost to recharge 

the Ioniq from low charge 

to full charge, that’s just a rough 

guide, there are many factors 

which determine cost – supplier, 

night and day rates, length 

of charge, the list goes on. You 

must also factor in that not all 

homes have wiring conducive to 

supplying the current needed, a 

designated charge point correctly 

wired is preferred. Of course, 

there are the charge stations 

which are being rolled out in 

ever-increasing numbers nationwide. 

In terms of length of time to 

charge, the Ioniq needs over six 

hours to charge from empty, that’s 

using a designated charge point. 

If you are at a fast charge station, 

80 per cent capacity can be 

reached in about an hour. From a 

household supply using a threepin 

plug cable, a full top-up will 

take up to 17 hours. That being 

the case, regular top-ups would 

be more productive. 

The Ioniq’s power plant is 

pretty much the same design as 

that which powers its stablemate 

Kona – a small SUV. However, 

the Ioniq is a small-to-medium 

liftback that stands out for high 

level of specification and purposeful 

design. It is a definite 

five-seater and it gets plenty of 

features. 

Driving the Ioniq needs no 

special effort, there are just four 

central push buttons which are 

self-explanatory, drive, reverse, 

neutral and park. From that point 

on you just drive as you would in 

HYUNDAI IONIQ EV: Plug-in, charge up and get mobile. 

a petrol-powered car. The only 

notable difference is there is lot 

of motor braking associated with 

deceleration. I particularly like 

that, it means you are less reliant 

on the brakes, and it feels reassuring. 

Interestingly, the Ioniq also 

gets paddle shifters, which are 

not so much a way of altering the 

gearing, but it’s a way of adding or 

reducing drag on the electric motor 

to enhance or dull the feeling 

of acceleration. 

Hyundai claims 100kW and 

295Nm power outputs and that’s 

feisty enough, I particularly like 

the feel of electric energy, there is 

a strong feeling of acceleration as 

the torque from the electric motor 

winds up. 

Speed isn’t overly vivid, but 

there is a solid pull of motor 

power when you ask for it, and 

that steady supply is seamless 

and constant, providing more 

of a sensation of speed than 

you would otherwise imagine. 

Against the stop watch the Ioniq 

will accelerate from a standstill 

to 100km/h in 10sec, and will 

quickly launch through a highway 

overtake (80-120km/h) in 

6.6sec. Both these figures provide 

peace of mind. 

The Ioniq is also rated with a 

311km distance between charges. 

• Price – Hyundai Ioniq EV, 

$65,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4470mm; width, 1820mm; 

height, 1460mm 

• Configuration – Electric 

motor, front-wheeldrive, 

100kW, 295Nm, 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10sec 

The evaluation car was sitting on 

160km range when I picked it up, 

and it quickly dropped to 100km 

with just a few inner-city commutes 

in very cold weather, that 

scenario not conducive to batteries 

retaining charge. 

Nevertheless, once on the highway 

at legal open road speed, the 

Ioniq is relatively thrifty with its 

use of available power. 

Providing the grip are beautiful 

Michelin tyres (205/50 x 16in) 

and they provide accurate corner 

turn-in. At about 1500kg the 

Ioniq EV isn’t overly burdened by 

weight, the latest generation batteries 

are as much about weight 

saving as they are storing energy, 

that being the case the Ioniq feels 

quite agile and, of course, it is 

nimble with its squat dimensions 

– it sits just 4.45m in length. 

It’s ability to tackle a quick corner 

comfortably comes without 

firming of the springs and shocks, 

the damper rates afford a wonderful 

ride soaking up the bumps 

and ruts without in-cabin shock. 

My best friend is an EV Nissan 

Leaf owner in the United States, 

his car is old but it’s still on the 

original set of batteries which are 

giving him satisfactory distance, 

well at least in warm temperatures, 

it’s not so flash in the cold 

of Virginia. 

He often charges free of cost at 

some of the several sites near his 

home; he tells me it’s not all plain 

sailing though, several times he 

has had to wait in a queue to 

charge, and has been confronted 

by others who have said while 

his car was on charge: “Move on, 

you’ve had long enough.’’ 

I’m not saying that would happen 

in New Zealand, but there 

are complications that will arise 

until New Zealand’s EV infrastructure 

is fully supported. In 

the meantime, there are many 

other good reasons to go on the 

EV journey. 

The Ioniq is just one car of 

many which is making its mark 

in that part of the market. For me, 

I’m still leaning towards a hybrid 

as the preferred option between 

the two. 

From family cars to work trucks and 

supercars to fixer-uppers.

New home for 

Mike Pero Selwyn 

New, refurbished premises at 6A Kidman Street, Rolleston. 

Local real estate firm, Mike Pero Selwyn 

has a new look, with the team recently 

moving into new, refurbished premises in 

Rolleston. 

Branch owners, Joe and Tracey Brankin 

are delighted with their new premises, 

which back onto Rolleston School and 

are just down the road from St John and 

the new health facility, currently under 

construction. 

“It’s a really great location in central 

Rolleston and we have plenty of off-street 

parking at the rear,” says Joe. 

In another exciting change, a property 

management company and mortgage 

advisor will soon be joining the team, 

meaning Mike Pero Selwyn will be a onestop 

shop for real estate services. 

Mike Pero Selwyn is a locally recognised 

real estate brand, where the team have 

strong connections with the district. 

Born and bred in Malvern, Joe has the 

Diploma in Real Estate and over twenty 

years’ real estate experience. He and Tracey 

have operated real estate agencies for a 

number of years, giving them a thorough 

understanding of the market (locally and 

region wide). 

While Joe takes a hands-on approach 

to all facets of the business including real 

estate sales, Tracey who is a fully qualified 

salesperson, oversees the administrative 

aspects of Mike Pero Selwyn. They are 

supported by real estate salespersons, 

Heather Clouston and Steph Kimber. 

Heather who comes from a farming 

background is also known for her 

days operating the Darfield bookshop, 

Kiwibank and post shop. 

Steph is known for the many community 

activities she is involved in. She is one of 

the organisers of the Hororata Highland 

Games and Hororata Night Glow and 

sponsors the Hororata and Greendale golf 

clubs. 

Mike Pero Selwyn is a supporter of the 

Garden to Table programme at Rolleston 

School, with Heather assisting through 

financial and active involvement with 

the children in planting and growing the 

vegetables, an initiative she thoroughly 

enjoys. 

Mike Pero Selwyn specialises in all types 

of property sales, from residential through 

to lifestyle and farm properties. They offer 

a full range of real estate services, tailored 

to each customer’s requirements. 

“People are welcome to call in for a 

coffee and a chat anytime,” says Tracey. 

You will find Mike Pero Selwyn’s new
