Maddie loses 

another

Fast food junkie’s 

dramatic weight 

loss 

• By Devon Bolger 

JULIET SHERRIFF used to spend 

about $150 a week on takeaways. Now 

she is 46kg lighter after using a mobile 

phone app to lose weight. 

At her heaviest, she was 115.3kg and 

now two years later she is maintaining 

her goal weight for the first time and 

now weighs 69kg. 

The 35-year-old said she was 

always slim as a child, but after a 

busy professional life had her eating 

takeaways on the run for breakfast, 

lunch and dinner, the weight soon 

began to creep on. 

“After my pregnancy, I got up to 

a really high weight. It was hard 

mentally, as I used to be so slim 

growing up. I remember going to a 

market and pulling open my wallet, 

the stallholder saw my ID from when I 

was slimmer and said: “Oh my God, is 

that you?” 

“This journey was never about what 

other people thought of me, I wanted 

to do this for me and do this for my 

daughter, Zoey who is four, but that 

really, really sucked to hear,” she said. 

Sherriff said she started using the 

myWW wellness app in 2018 and 

was able to change her mindset and 

embrace a more holistic approach to 

her health. • Turn to page 4

Former 

council 

employee 

back in 

court 


THE WAY has been cleared for a 

community group to try and get 

back about $18,500 stolen by a 

former district council employee 

they trusted. 

Lisa Elaine Larkin, 51, will be 

sentenced in the Christchurch 

District Court in late October 

after pleading guilty to two 

charges of theft by a person in a 

special relationship and one of 

forgery with intent to obtain a 

benefit. 

Last week, Larkin abandoned 

a legal bid in the district court 

where she had intended to dispute 

the amount it was claimed 

had been stolen from Selwyn 

SeniorNet’s bank account. 

The former district council 

community development adviser 

was convicted in May of stealing 

about $18,500 from the Selwyn 

SeniorNet’s bank account. 

The group says it has affected 

their ability to help elderly in the 

district. 

Selwyn SeniorNet chairman 

Terry Pierson said reparations 

would be sought from Larkin 

when she is sentenced on 

October 28. • Turn to page 6

Maddie recovering 

after removal of second transplanted kidney 


WEST MELTON teenager 

Maddie Collins has had her 

second transplanted kidney 

removed after her body rejected 

it. 

The 16-year-old is now reliant 

on dialysis to keep her alive. 

She has 

been battling 

the 

kidney 

disease, 

nephrotic 

syndrome 

for several 

years. 

Sarah 

Manson-Collins 

Maddie’s 

mother, 

Sarah 

Manson-Collins, said the kidney, 

which was transplanted in 

2018, was removed on July 28 

following a steady decline in its 

function. 

“She has really improved with 

the kidney gone, we don’t have 

any temperatures anymore. 

We just have the pain from the 

surgery. I think it was the best 

decision,” she said. 

Manson-Collins said Maddie 

now has to continue with fivehour 

hemodialysis sessions three 

times a week for the next month. 

“We can’t use her peritoneal 

dialysis tube for another month 

because shes had surgery. 

“It is a better treatment 

because she can just hook 

herself up overnight and 

sleep while it’s happening and 

disconnect herself from it in the 

morning.” 

The best way forward for 

Maddie now is to have a period 

of stability on overnight dialysis 

before the search for another 

transplant begins again, she said.

“We have a new paired exchange 

programme between 

New Zealand and Australia 

now. There is starting to be more 

awareness around people being 

donors so as long as we can keep 

pushing that message then we 

have hope.” 

Maddie received what was 

termed a ‘miracle’ second kidney 

transplant in 2018 after being 

told there was only a two per 

cent chance of finding a match in 

New Zealand. 

The first was donated six years 

ago by her father Adam but her 

body rejected it as well. 

There have been a series of 

ups and downs since the transplant. 

In December last year the 

declining function of the kidney 

became clear through blood tests 

showing high creatinine levels. 

The family didn’t expect to be 

able to find the second kidney 

match and were planning a trip 

to The John Hopkins Hospital in 

Baltimore, United States, to find 

one when they were notified an 

organ had been found.

Arrests after 

gate thefts 


POLICE HAVE made a major 

breakthrough over farm gate 

thefts in the district, arresting a 

man and a woman from Oxford. 

A police patrol stopped a vehicle 

in the Darfield area about 3.30am 

last Wednesday which led to the 

arrest of a 37-year-old woman 

and a 38-year-old man. A large 

number of stolen farm gates were 

found on their property, said 

Senior Sergeant Harker. 

He said the gates were being 

sold on social media. 

The arrested pair will face a 

number of charges in the Christchurch 

District Court on August 24. 

“It was the great work of 

Constable Hamish Caird of the 

Darfield Police that led to these 

arrests.” 

Police were patrolling the area 

specifically looking for those 

responsible for the gate thefts. 

Harker said anyone who has 

had gates stolen but have not 

reported it should phone the Darfield 

Police. 

There have been about 20-30 

incidents of gates and fencing being 

stolen across Selwyn over the 

last few weeks. 

This includes seven incidents 

over one weekend.

School options open for consultation 


A SECOND Rolleston College 

campus or entirely new school 

are the options being considered 

for future secondary school 

education in the area. 

The Canterbury National 

Education Growth Plan 2030 

predicts the area’s current high 

school could reach its capacity of 

1800 students by 2027/28. It currently 

has 976 students. 

It is anticipated an additional 

600-800 secondary-aged students 

will require access to a 

local state school in the area by 

2030. 

It comes as the Ministry of 

Education releases proposed 

new primary school zones for 

Rolleston. 

The community will get a 

chance to have their say on the 

amendments. 

“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,” it said in the consultation 

document. 

Public consultation is also 

under way, through D & G Consulting, 

on the options to ensure 

future high-schoolers are catered 

for in the area. 

One of the options being 

considered is a second Rolleston 

College campus on a different 

site. 

“This second campus 

would have the same 

board of trustees and 

management team. There 

would also be a single vision 

and identity for the 

school,” the consultation 

document says. 

Different ways this option 

could work are also 

being considered including 

students being separated into 

junior and senior campuses. 

Rolleston College principal 

Rachel Skelton said she supports 

the idea of a second campus. 

“A second campus would allow 

Rachel 

Skelton 

cohesion and avoid our town 

being divided into two separate 

zones. 

“There are a number of 

possibilities for the community 

to consider in 

terms of what that could 

look like.” 

The search area for a 

potential site is in the 

south of Rolleston, about 

1.5-2km from the college. 

A Ministry of Education 

spokeswoman said 

it was unable to provide detail on 

the sites being considered at this 

stage, so as not to prejudice or 

disadvantage our ability to carry 

out commercial negotiations. 

The other option being

considered by the ministry is a 

completely new high school. 

“It would have its own 

identity, own governance and 

own uniform. The design of 

such a school would be 

developed with input from the 

community.” 

Public meetings have been 

planned at Clearview School 

on August 10 and 11, 7-8pm to 

gather further feedback on the 

issues.

Do you snore? 

Always tired? 

You may be at risk of sleep apnoea. 

Wilsons Barrington Pharmacy 

are making a difference to 

their community by offering a 

game changing sleep apnoea 

service to reach the 80% of 

undiagnosed obstructive sleep 

apnoea (OSA) sufferers in 

New Zealand. 

There are a number of symptoms 

that could be a sign of OSA, 

including choking or gasping 

for air at night, loud persistent 

snoring, frequent visits to the 

bathroom & waking up tired. 

Left untreated these can lead 

to long term health 

consequences such as Type 2 

diabetes, high blood pressure, 

obesity and depression. 

Fortunately it is now easy to get 

diagnosed for OSA with Wilsons’ 

Pharmacy Sleep Services program. 

People can now simply walk into 

their pharmacy and get tested for 

OSA straight away. 

The overnight home sleep test 

allows a person to sleep in the 

comfort of their own bed. No doctor 

referral is required. The results of 

the home sleep test are assessed 

by a sleep physician and provided 

7-10 days later. If a person’s results 

show they have OSA they can begin 

a 4 week trial of CPAP therapy. 

If you think you’re at risk of sleep 

apnoea contact Wilsons Barrington 

Pharmacy today to book a home 

sleep test.

responds to pool closure claims 


THE COMMITTEE responsible 

for running the Halkett Pool 

is rejecting claims that poor 

management led to it breaching 

pool water safety standards. 

Last week Selwyn Times reported 

the district council voted 

to close the pool for the season as 

well as consider permanent closure 

under the Long Term Plan. 

It is due to health and safety 

concerns at the pool which 

includes having 11 days in a row 

of non-compliant water readings 

in January. 

A spokeswoman for the 

Halkett Community Centre 

Committee said: “Up until two 

years ago we had no issues with 

our pool, at which time the 

council employed a new aquatic 

centre manager and all of our issues 

have started since then.” 

The spokeswoman said the 

district council installed a new 

chemical dispenser two years ago 

without consultation or notification. 

“We were advised by the 

aquatic manager that we were 

REJECTED: The Halkett Pool has been closed due to health and safety concerns but the 

committee which manages it has said that it is not their fault. 

not to control or alter the new 

dispenser as they would take 

care of this and adjust as and if 

required. They started our pump 

and controller at the beginning 

of our season and incorrectly set 

the chlorine level at zero themselves.” 

Active Selwyn manager James 

Richmond said the committee 

was in fact allowed to control the 

dispenser. 

“Operating it is part of the 

day to day running of the pools, 

done by the pool committees. 

The controller committees are 

informed that if there are issues 

with the dispenser they are to 

follow the supplied Pool Water 

Risk Management Plan or contact 

staff. Neither occurred in 

this case. 

“A staff member did turn on 

the pool filtration and added 

chlorine to the water at the 

Halkett Pool last year, but did 

not modify the controller as it requires 

the chlorine to have been 

in the pool for 24 hours first.”

council had with the committee 

was that it had no members present 

at a pool operations course 

last year. 

The committee spokeswoman 

said: “We were not advised that 

more than one person could 

attend this course and due to 

unforeseen last minute work 

commitments at a busy time of 

the year the committee member 

could not attend, however, offered 

to attend another course. 

“Why did the council not run 

this course earlier in the year 

rather than leaving it till last minute 

when pools were due to open?” 

Richmond refutes this saying 

all of the committees were 

informed of the course five and a 

half weeks beforehand and multiple 

spaces were available. 

“We did not receive a response 

from the Halkett committee 

until over a month later, after we 

had sent them a reminder. Other 

pool committees had already 

booked, with one sending five 

members to attend the course.”

Land could be set aside 

for reserve in Lincoln 

LAND NEAR the old 

Lincoln Country Club 

site has been set aside 

and could become a 

community reserve. 

The district council was 

considering subdividing 

and selling the land around 

and opposite the old club 

on Millpond Lane, adjacent 

to the LII River. 

It had proposed subdividing 

it into seven lots. 

However, taking into 

account feedback from the 

community, it has agreed 

to put five lots up for sale 

on the northern side of the 

property. 

A district council spokesman 

said the remaining two 

lots will be considered for a 

possible future reserve. 

A report on the matter 

will be presented to district 

councillors at a later date. 

KEEP WAR M THIS 

WINTER WITH OUR HOT DEALS 

PROJECT: 

Lot numbers 

six and 

seven on 

Millpond 

Lane have 

been set 

aside by 

the district 

council for 

a potential 

future 

reserve. 

The next steps for the 

project include appointing 

real estate agents to sell the 

five lots. 

“Documentation is being 

prepared to issue to real 

estate agents for the sale of 

the sections.” 

The work is a part of a 

plan for the district council 

to sell some of its residential 

sections over the next 

three months.

How do you live the life you’ve always wanted? 

There are many things to consider when 

making the decision to move into a lifestyle 

village. Everyone has different requirements, 

whether it be a true community atmosphere 

with an inclusive social scene, or be situated 

in a new suburb where everything you need is 

close by, or well-designed quality home which 

supports and caters to all aging requirements.. 

Whatever your fancy, it’s rather easy to see 

Woodcroft Estate as your new home. “Our 

residents are better off in every way,” says 

Manor Group CEO Adam Yates. “Here, they 

enjoy a warm, safe and relaxing environment 

within a friendly community, while the onsite 

manager looks after any concerns or 

maintenance issues. “All those jobs you had 

to do to maintain your old house are taken 

care of by the village staff.. “They manage any 

repairs and maintenance to your home, looking 

after the gardens and lawn mowing, providing 

security, lighting and even washing windows.” 

But there is something even more special 

about Woodcroft Estate. 

A model of home ownership that 

benefits you more 

“Our residents are better off financially” 

says Adam. “Our Next Generation model is 

designed to be much fairer than traditional 

models, allowing residents to receive the 

capital gain when the unit is sold, less a small 

fee. Our aim is to free our residents from 

their worries, while residents get the financial 

freedom that comes from retaining and 

building on their equity.” 

The Next Generation Model gives you 

options, enabling you to gift your chosen 

charity or leave a legacy to your grandchildren 

– contributing to their education, or 

even their first home! 

Life is for living 

For those who have already made the move 

to Woodcroft Estate – talk revolves excitedly 

around the brand new Pavilion. Providing 

a dynamic new social hub – there is much 

discussion of quiz nights, dances, live music 

and of course all kinds of exercise and craft 

classes. Outside a new BBQ area will be just 

the ticket for gathering in the sunshine. 

At Woodcroft Estate – you become an integral 

part of village life – contributing in ways you 

WOODCROFT ESTATE 

A retirement village with a difference 

never thought possible in a lifestyle estate. 

Woodcroft Estate residents have never 

been happier – residing comfortably in the 

fast growing and vibrant new township of 

Rolleston – where a library and community 

centre are close by. There is a swimming 

pool and two medical centres, as well as two 

supermarkets. There are even hearing and eye 

specialists! Plenty of cafes to meet friends, 

and delicious bakeries for that morning tea – 

everything you need to feel right at home.

Successful 

AGM for 

hospital group 

THE FRIENDS of Ellesmere 

Hospital’s annual general 

meeting was a success with local 

and regional health experts in 

attendance. 

The meeting was held at the 

Leeston Community Centre with 

special guests including Win 

MacDonald who is the rural hospitals 

manager for the Canterbury 

District Health Board and a number 

of district councillors. 

Group member Geoff Lill said: 

“Councillor Grant Miller spoke 

on behalf of the district council 

and talked about the renewed 

focus of the council on supporting 

healthcare in the community.’’ 

The guest speaker was Mike 

Hobbs who was, until his recent 

retirement, the local GP in Leeston 

for more than 40 years. 

“He spoke of his close association 

with the hospital as superintendent, 

the importance of the hospital 

services to our local community, 

and some of the changes he had 

seen over his time there.”

A GROUP from the Malvern 

area are shaving their mullets 

to raise money for the Motor 

Neurone Disease Association 

New Zealand. 

Johnny Barnard, Finn Jacobs, 

Tobi Moore, Ryan Thomas, 

Todd Thomas, Cole Atutolu, 

Jack Barnes, William Wilson 

and Dylan Duffy are participating 

in a shave-off event at the 

Kirwee Rugby Club on Saturday. 

Motor neurone disease causes 

the death of nerve cells (neurones) 

that control the muscles 

enabling movement, speech, 

swallowing and breathing. With 

no nerves to activate them, these 

muscles gradually weaken and 

waste away. 

Tobi came up with the initial 

idea in memory of his, and 

cousin Johnny’s, uncle George 

Redmond who succumbed to 

the disease earlier this year. 

Finn was also interested in 

participating as he lost his great 

grandmother to MND as well. 

The group is hoping to raise 

between $5000 and $10,000. 

“In memory of George Redmond 

we invite the community 

to help us raise funds to assist 

those around the country battling 

this incurable disease,” 

organisers Jan Thomas and 

Vanessa Moore said. 

At present the group has 

raised $4500.

TWO ROLLESTON Probus

The Rolleston Combined club 

recognised 15 years providing fun

A special morning tea was held 

to mark the occasion. 

Said Probus South Pacific New

months of observing lockdown 

restrictions. Several charter members 

were in attendance.”

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 invertebrates found 

at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincolnsection 

Wood-boring insect will 

attack native species 

HOUSEHOLD borer, 

woodworm, or the 

common furniture beetle 

are all common names for 

Anobium punctatum. 

This wood-boring insect 

is found in untreated 

timbers and particularly in 

older houses or furniture 

in temperate parts of the 

world including New 

Zealand. 

Adults are brown in 

colour, vary from 2.5 to 

5mm in length and have a 

monk-like hood over their 

head. 

The creamy white 

C-shaped larval stage 

is the one that does the 

damage by boring an 

extensive network of 

holes for two to five years 

depending on temperature 

and humidity. 

Their presence is often 

detected by the 1-1.5mm 

diameter exit holes or the 

piles of fine wood dust or 

DAMAGE: Borer can make an extensive network 

of holes in timber. 

frass under the infected 

wood. 

In New Zealand the 

borer prefers sapwood 

but attacks a large range 

of exotic and native 

species, more commonly 

in radiata pine, kahikatea 

and rimu. 

Adults emerge between 

October and January but 

peak in December.

Week of celebrating 

Selwyn’s diversity 

Celebrations of Selwyn’s cultural diversity will expand this year with CultureFest kicking off a 

week of new events. 

The ever popular CultureFest, which draws thousands of people each year, will mark the start of 

the new Culture Week from 18–24 October. 

has been increasing demand for and interest expressed in workshops and displays that 

showcase traditional sports, dancing and music of different cultures. The Council and Lincoln 

University, who have partnered previously to deliver CultureFest, with a range of other cultural 

groups and clubs, have worked together to set up this new week. 

The success of CultureFest and the workshops that have taken place as well as the interest 

we have been receiving, suggest there is space in the community for a bigger celebration, that 

supports strong community club and group participation , Council Group Manager Community 

Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says. 

“Having Culture Week allows us to build on the huge success of CultureFest, offering 

opportunities to grow our knowledge of the many different, vibrant cultures that make up our 

people here in Selwyn. It’s an opportunity for people who haven’t been able to take part in 

CultureFest, as well as giving popular workshops a chance to go deeper and give people a 

richer flavour of their heritage.” 

The Council is now taking expressions of interest from people wanting to be involved in 

CultureFest and the wider Culture Week. Any individual, club or group interested in performing 

on stage or being a stallholder at CultureFest, or running a workshop, during Culture Week can 

find a form at selwyn.govt.nz/cultureweek.

Creative Communities 

Selwyn can help! 

Funding is available to groups or individuals 

with community-based creative projects 

that promote arts or culture in Selwyn. 

Applications for this funding round close at 

5pm, Friday 28 August. 

Visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/artsfunding for 

more information and to apply. 

Rates accounts and 

payment options 

Rates invoices for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 September 

2020 should have arrived in your letterboxes or inboxes. 

You can check out the changes in your rates, by visiting 

selwyn.govt.nz/rates and clicking on property search. 

If you pay by direct debit you will receive information on 

your new direct debit in a separate letter. If you’re on direct 

debit then, as long as you have sufficient funds in your bank 

account to cover the payments on the due dates, you will not 

be charged penalties. 

For ratepayers not on a direct debit, rates are payable in four 

instalments – 15 September, 15 December, 15 March and 15 

June. Penalties are charged on instalments not paid in full by 

the due dates and there is a further penalty if rates are not 

paid by 30 June. 

Your rates invoice details the rates assessed for your 

property for both the Council and Environment Canterbury. 

The Council assesses a general rate, based on your 

property’s capital value, district-wide targeted rates, plus 

other targeted rates based on where you live, or the services 

you receive. We also act as agent for the collection of 

Environment Canterbury rates within Selwyn district. 

The average rates increase for the 2020/21 year is 1.6%, 

however this will vary for individual properties. Rates take 

account of capital values, as well any changes to your 

property, for example if you have built a house on your 

section, or if you have changed your wheelie bins. 

Ratepayers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can 

apply for a rates payment extension, which is available for 

2020/21 rates. 

For more information about rates, including forms, payment 

options and extensions, visit selwyn.govt.nz/rates or phone 

0800 SELWYN (735 996). 

Apply for a 

rates rebate 

Ratepayers who are on a low income and who pay rates 

on the property they live in may be eligible for a rates 

rebate. 

If your gross household income to 31 March 2020 was 

$26,150 or less, and you pay rates on the property where 

you live, you may qualify for a rebate. If your income was 

more than this, you may still be eligible, depending on the 

total cost of your rates and the number of dependents in 

your family. 

To find out if you are eligible for a rates rebate, and to 

download forms, visit ratesrebates.govt.nz. Forms are 

also available from Council service centres. 

If you received a rates rebate last year you will 

automatically be sent an application form. 

To apply, you will need to provide accurate details and 

copies of your gross income, and that of any partner/ 

spouse/joint homeowner who lives with you, for the tax 

year ended 31 March 2020. 

You can apply for your rebate at any Council service centre.

PREBBLETON signalled it

they went down narrowly 

to competition pace-setter 

Southbridge 20-23 at 

Prebbleton on Saturday. 

Southbridge has swept 

all before it this season, 

winning seven from seven. 

But on Saturday Prebbleton 

played above themselves, 

exposing a few chinks in 

the Southbridge armour on 

the way. 

In other matches Waihora 

thrashed West Melton 

38-0, Darfield accounted 

for Springston 34-14 and 

Lincoln beat Hornby 38-22, 

which remains winless.

FOCUS FOR 

FUTURE 

The Focus for Future - 

Selwyn Environmental Film 

Competition was ‘launched’ 

in May for those who might 

want to start thinking about 

their production as we 

experienced various levels 

of lockdown. At the time we 

thought that we may even be 

looking at a “zoom” awards 

evening. We are very happy 

that with New Zealand’s rapid 

return to normality, it looks 

as if we will be again enjoying 

the Oscar like awards evening 

in September. 

Logan Edwards receives the 2019 Kea Trophy 

on behalf of his production team from 

Courtney Sheat from the Rata Foundation 

Invitations were sent out to schools and to others who might be interested in making 

a short film about their environmental concerns. In the past we have seen some 

amazingly creative and thought provoking productions and tremendous effort made by 

people of all ages to showcase their ideas about our world. 

There is still plenty of time left to plan and produce a film. People are also welcome to 

enter films they have previously made as long as they fit the criteria. 

In the past, the Awards Evening has always been an exciting event. Young and old 

enjoy watching all the short films before hearing from the judges. All film makers are 

presented with worthwhile prizes and there are special prizes for different categories, 

and for the winners of the Kea Trophy. 

All details of the competition, previous entries and the Awards’ Night 

in September, can be found on Eventbrite, or Lincoln Envirotown’s

Tasty Bites 

Chicken drumsticks are hard to beat 

This recipe is a healthier 

way to make chicken 

drumsticks taste 

delicious – they are 

marinated in buttermilk 

and garlic for 24 hours 

before roasting. This 

ensures the chicken

infused with delicious 

flavours

6 servings 

Ingredients 

2 cup buttermilk 

2 tbsp olive oil 

10 garlic cloves, minced 

1 cup fresh parsley, minced 

1 tsp salt 

1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground 

12 chicken drumsticks 

Directions

Refrigerate the marinated 

chicken for 24 hours. 

After your chicken has been 

marinated, preheat oven to 

200 deg C. Place chicken in 

a medium-sized casserole 

dish – and pour all of the 

marinade on top and around 

the chicken. Roast for 30-45min 

(depending on your oven), until 

chicken juices run clear and the 

drumsticks are browned and 

scorched in spots. 

If needed, grill for about 

5-10min to get more color. 

Serve immediately, use the 

sauce from the pan. 

Sticky sweet chilli 

drumsticks 

4 servings 

Ingredients 

¼ cup sweet chilli sauce 

3 tbsp sweet soy sauce 

1 tbsp garlic, minced 

½ tbsp ginger, minced

Rice 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 180 deg C and

massage all over. 

Place the chicken drumsticks 

onto the lined tray. Pour over any 

excess marinade. 

Bake in the oven for 45-

Gardening 

It’s not too early to plan for summer 

DEPENDING ON the weather 

in a particular year, August 

can either feel like the depth of 

winter or the first hint of spring. 

Flowering annuals, camellias, 

rhododendrons and cherry trees 

brighten up gardens in this cold 

month. It’s an excellent time for 

planning your summer garden. 

Fruit trees 

Harvest time for citrus coming 

in warm, sheltered sites; late 

mandarins, lemons, limes, navel 

oranges and grapefruit. 

Spray pip and stone fruit trees 

with a final application of a 

copper compound before new 

season growth appears. This will 

also help prevent the outbreak of 

fungal diseases in spring. 

Feijoas can be ‘thinned out’ 

now. These trees respond to careful 

pruning so they will produce 

more regular crops each year. 

Named variety feijoas eg Apollo 

are cutting grown, producing a 

more open, large bush. 

The traditional seedling grown 

feijoas are very dense growth 

habit. Remove any inward growing 

branches and where branches 

overlap. Maintain the ultimate 

height of the feijoas at 2.5-3m 

to allow for easier care of the 

tree while ensuring more than

The daylight hours are getting slightly 

longer which means the warmer, 

sunnier months aren’t too far away. 

Preparation is key this month. Here are 

a few things you can do 

• Dig through compost of existing 

gardens to give them a boost 

• Decide what veggies you want to

• Pick your location and what you will

lettuce, peppers, and tomatoes. 

Always use fresh, good quality 

seed mix. It provides all the nutrients 

growing seedlings need. 

Strawberries 

Young plants are now in active 

growth. As tempting as it is to 

leave them, remove any early 

flowers as they will not form edible 

fruit. 

A light mulch of pea straw or 

finely crushed bark helps reduce 

the impact of heavy downpours 

of rain and keeps the young 

plants ‘clean’ and healthy.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

SELWYN TIMES 

Ride-on electric 

mowing a reality 

Pure education is a big part of the job 

for Bruce Scott from Mean Green Mowers 

and that makes sense when introducing 

new technology to the market place. 

“People often have the image of a small 

mower with a power cord hanging out the 

side, and the odd jaw does drop when I 

tell them we have mowers with a 74 inch 

(1.88m) deck that can mow for up to eight 

hours continuously.” 

Uptake of the Mean Green brand has 

been encouraging in New Zealand, with 

mowers operating from Kerikeri to 

Invercargill. Most large contractors have 

a machine, as do many councils. One 

contractor uses a couple of Mean Green 

machines to mow Lincoln University 

where low-noise operation is really 

appreciated. 

“I mow our lifestyle property in Tai Tapu 

with a Nemesis 48 inch machine, and I 

always tell my partner I’m off to mow the 

lawns. She can’t hear the mower operating 

from inside, so if I disappear I want to 

avoid accusations that I slipped off down 

to the pub,” says Bruce. 

The mowers operate at less than half 

the noise levels of petrol mowers so you 

won’t bother the neighbours mowing on a 

Sunday morning. 

Imported from the United States Mean 

Green mowers are extremely well built 

and have plenty of instant mowing power 

available at the flick of a switch 

When considering the purchase of an 

electric mower, Bruce says it is important 

to have a close look at the numbers. A 

petrol machine could cost up to $16,250 

over a 10-year period on fuel alone. So 

this number needs to be added to the 

purchase price of a standard mower to 

compare apples with apples and it is an 

even wider gap when taking into account 

the low maintenance requirements of 

electric machines. 

“Everyone’s situation is different so I 

encourage clients to call for a chat. And, 

pop up and see a machine, we’re just in 

Tai Tapu.” 

For more information contact Bruce 

either by phone on 027 223 0054 or 

email him at bruce@meangreenmowers.

Farm vehicle maintenance saves 

Farm vehicles can get a hard life, 

being driven around the paddocks and 

over rough roads. With so much work 

to be done on the farm their regular 

maintenance can get overlooked. 

The effect of ignoring regular motor 

vehicle servicing is more serious issues 

can arise, resulting in costly repairs, which 

might otherwise have been avoided. A 

reliable vehicle also means you’re not 

stranded on a country road or the back 

paddocks of the farm. 

Vehicle servicing should be carried out 

every 5,000-10,000 kilometres, whether 

a newer or older model, and by a reliable 

and competent specialist in automotive 

repairs. Regular servicing ensures a 

vehicle is roadworthy between Warrant 

of Fitness checks. This is important no 

matter what the age of the vehicle, as even 

new vehicles can breakdown. 

Simon, Hayden and Vince at Rolleston 

Diesel & Petrols take care of a lot of farm 

utes, 4WD’s, farm bikes and the odd 

tractor, as well as the family car. They have 

considerable experience and expertise in 

automotive servicing and repairs. 

“Two problems we regularly see 

occurring, is vehicle maintenance being 

overlooked and where the farm’s fuel 

supply has become contaminated. This 

can lead to poor vehicle performance, 

black smoke belching out, high fuel 

usage and potential breakdowns,” advises 

Simon, owner of Rolleston Diesel & 

Petrols. 

If you are having problems with any of 

your vehicles, it may well be worth having 

a chat to one of the team at Rolleston 

Diesel & Petrols. They are only too keen 

to help. You can be assured they will 

offer honest advice on the state of your 

motor vehicle. Whether there is a noise 

coming from under the bonnet, a smell of 

oil, tyres looking suspiciously worn, or a 

battery which is slow to start, sorting any 

problem early may avoid being without 

the vehicle for a period of time, as well 

as the cost of any necessary repairs. It 

will also help ensure the vehicle is safe to 

drive. 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols is wellequipped 

with sophisticated diagnostic 

equipment, and they only use reliable 

quality components, oils and original 

specifically manufactured equipment 

parts. 

“I believe in regular vehicle maintenance 

and carrying out proper repairs, using 

parts which will last,” says Simon. 

Whether a ute, 4WD, car, van, light 

commercial (up to 12 ton), motorhome, 

bus, motorcycle, jet ski, boat, horse 

float or ride-on lawnmower, the team at 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols will service and 

repair it, as well as take care of any WOF 

checks when due. 

As a member of the Motor Trade 

Association you are assured quality 

workmanship at this locally owned and 

operated business where locals look after 

the people of Selwyn.

In its 14th year the Fonterra Best 

Site Cups celebrate the best in 

manufacturing. 

Canterbury is now home to Fonterra’s 

best big Site following the ‘Oscars of 

Manufacturing’, Fonterra’s best site 

cup awards. Darfield picked up the 

hotly contested award ahead of the 25 

other Fonterra 

manufacturing sites 

throughout the 

country. 

Darfield site is 

starting to ramp 

back up after winter 

shut so it was great 

for the teams to come together, virtually 

this year, to celebrate the year that’s been. 

The site had a great year making 

progress against their goals. One of those 

is the target set by the Co-op last year to 

reduce water use by 30% by 2030. 

Harriet Van Genne-Knape, General 

Manager of operations at Darfield says, 

“We are very proud of this result and 

the awesome recognition for our entire 

Darfield team. Everything came together 

quite nicely in FY20 for us. We had 

a clear vision, strategy, set ourselves 

ambitious targets and we passionately 

worked hard on these every day. 

“I think the key to our success is that 

we strongly believed that we could do it 

and that we followed the Darfield way of 

doing things which is sometimes a little 

bit different. We are always focussed on 

how we could do things better, and all of 

you have worked tirelessly over a number 

of years to be rewarded with this result.” 

Fonterra’s Darfield site employs 

more than 280 people from around 

Canterbury, all of them work to turn 

Fonterra farmers milk into milk powder 

and cream cheese that ends up in more 

than 40 markets around the world. 

Fonterra’s manufacturing sites employ 

close to 7,000 people throughout 

the country in a range of roles from 

factory processors to tanker operators, 

food safety and quality experts and 

environmental managers, all of them 

working to turn farmers milk into 

products that end up in more than 140 

countries around the world.

Feisty yet frugal Volvo station wagon 

VOLVO HAS HAD a long and 

notable motorsport heritage. 

I became familiar with some 

of that during my many visits to 

Wellington to watch the Nissan 

Mobil 500 street race in the late 

80s and early 90s. While the 

Volvo T5 wagon looked a little 

out of place on the race track, 

it certainly had speed, and it 

clocked up much success globally, 

especially in European touring 

car championship races. 

The T5 had a square, boxy 

shape that earned it the nickname 

Swedish taxi, but the point is it 

was amazingly successful, and 

when I first drove it in road going 

form in 2004 I was blown away 

with its power and performance. 

Since then Volvo has marketed 

many fine wagons and has 

impressed with its power plants, 

feisty engines which also double 

as being frugal. 

Enter 2020 and another Volvo 

wagon has landed – the V60 T8 

R-Design, another very quick 

station wagon, yet also amazes 

with its 2l/100km combined cycle 

fuel usage claim. 

That’s down to hybrid 

technology, today’s V60 has a 

turbocharged and supercharged 

four-cylinder petrol engine. The 

1969cc unit develops a hearty 

246kW and 430Nm, if that’s not 

enough, add into the equation 

a rear-mounted electric engine 

which adds 65kW and 240Nm, 

it’s no surprise then the V60 is 

swift when the accelerator is 

given a nudge. 

Volvo claims a 4.5sec standstill 

to 100km/h acceleration time, 

that’s quick, and what’s more, 

the V60 feels fast, it is fully 

responsive and delivers in a fluid, 

decisive manner, typical of both 

turbocharging and supercharging 

techniques. 

While its performance is every 

bit as exciting as its predecessors, 

it must be remembered that 

hybrid technology is there for 

a reason, and in this age where 

caring for the environment has 

become a major priority, the V60 

also addresses that with plug-in 

electric storage capability. The 

system isn’t as generous as you 

would get from a fully electric 

vehicle, but it definitely has 

purpose. 

Volvo also claims and electric 

range of around 30-40km, 

which would satisfy for a daily 

commute; however, there’s no 

driver-selectable EV mode, 

what happens is that the V60 

VOLVO V60 T8: Hybrid system allows up to 30km of 

motoring on one charge. 

will happily run all the time on 

electric power only, but if you 

are forceful with the throttle the 

engine will burst into life and give 

you immediate acceleration. 

I was determined to allow 

the V60 to work electrically for my 

commute, it does so willingly, but 

there were a couple of times when 

keeping pace with traffic meant 

petrol power cut in, however, the 

end result is that massive fuel 

savings can be achieved. 

During my time in the 

evaluation car the fuel usage 

displays were listing between 

3-4l/100km with 2.2l/100km 

showing instantaneously at 

100km/h, the engine turning 

over well below 2000rpm in 

eighth gear. Yes, the V60 has 

a traditional torque converter 

gearbox and, as you would 

expect in a luxury car, the 

transition of ratios is almost 

seamless. 

You need no special technique 

to drive the V60, it is very 

orthodox and is built with 

the sophistication we have 

come to expect from this great 

Scandinavian car maker. It also 

gets a five-star safety rating, no 

surprises there, Volvo is sold 

universally as being one of the 

world’s safest car manufacturers. 

I’ve made no secret over the years 

of my affection for the traditional 

station wagon, and the V60 really 

appeals to me. In practical terms, 

the rear cargo section can hold 

up to 529-litres and loading it is 

far from a chore, the ride height 

is at an easy level for lifting the 

groceries out of the supermarket 

trolley and into the vehicle. That 

load space doesn’t compromise the 

rear seating area either, the V60 is 

comfortable and spacious. 

On the road it is quiet and 

extremely comfortable, the spring 

and damper rates are biased 

towards comfort, which is no 

surprise, the V60 is a true touring

car and it needs to cocoon the 

occupants. 

It gets a load of kit for its 

$114,900 price tag (evaluation 

car $121,400). The controls are 

laid out for ease of use, many 

functions are operated through a 

large central touch screen display, 

which is very intuitive. 

Two Star Media employees 

drive Volvos. I’m always being 

reminded of the safety criteria 

which influenced the decision 

to buy into the brand. Nothing 

has changed, Volvo has set the 

benchmark in this area, and 

when you are inside the car you 

feel that quality build. 

The V60 is a remarkable car 

in terms of what it represents, its 

speed puts it most definitely in 

the performance car category, but 

it is also a thrifty fuel miser. Add 

in the wagon effect and you’ve got 

many cars in one. 

That’s just as you would expect 

from Volvo, it is something just 

that little bit different all round, 

but spectacular nonetheless.

SELWYN TIMES



Authorised by Dianna Lacy, 160 Willis Street, Wellington. 

Hello 

I’m Reuben Davidson and it’s my privilege to be your Labour candidate for Selwyn. 

I am asking for your support to elect me as your Member of Parliament to be Selwyn’s voice 

in Wellington. 

Canterbury born and bred and proud of it — over the past twenty years I’ve worked hard as a 

producer in television and more recently as a Community Board Member for Banks Peninsula. 

Now I want to work hard for you. 

Our nation’s response to COVID-19 has been outstanding but there are still challenges ahead. 

Together our team of five million can work to recover and rebuild for a smarter, safer even better 

New Zealand. With the leadership of Jacinda Ardern, Labour has the plan to protect local families 

and jobs by backing our businesses and supporting our local industries. 

As your candidate I am keen to hear from you. I’m in the electorate and available to catch up 

anytime or meet you at one of our street corner meetings. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 

Thank you 

Reuben Davidson 

Labour Party candidate for Selwyn

for Selwyn



SELWYN TIMES 

Labour in Selwyn 

Supporting Farmers 

Our farming sector drives our local and 

national economy. Labour created the 

Primary Sector Council, a group 

of farming, agribusiness and export 

leaders to represent the needs of this 

vital industry. Recently they have 

launched Te Taiao, a world leading 

initiative that bridges the gap between 

protecting our environment and 

growing our rural economy. 

The initiative’s aim is that the industry 

can work as one to make best use of 

our resources and sustain our 

prosperity, ensuring skilled jobs 

for our local Selwyn economy. 

Keeping People Working 

The Wage Subsidy Scheme is part of 

our government’s response to the 

immediate and mid-term challenges 

presented by COVID-19. 

Businesses in Canterbury have reported 

the Wage Subsidy having the highest 

positive impact, enabling them to keep 

people in work. 

The uptake across Canterbury and 

Selwyn has been high, and has allowed 

many local small businesses to continue 

trading through challenging times. 

Boosting Connectivity 

The rural communities of Selwyn 

need better broadband connectivity. 

In Government, Labour has made it a 

priority to upgrade mobile towers in 

places like Southbridge and Windwhistle 

that have high numbers of school-age 

children living in households without 

internet access. 

COVID-19 has shown us the importance 

of being digitally connected, allowing 

people to work and learn from home and 

eliminating our black spots for essential 

services. 

Gebbies Valley was recently the 100th 

4G Cell Tower site in this scheme. The 

second phase of our plan will continue to 

boost connectivity across remote rural 

areas like Selwyn. 

Reuben Davidson for Selwyn




Funding Darfield Fire Station 

A recent funding boost of $1 million will 

fast-track construction of the Darfield 

Fire Station expansion. 

This important local investment will bring 

urban and rural services together and 

provide a co-located hub for fire and 

emergency response services in Darfield 

for the surrounding areas. 

This is a direct investment into an 

important local lifeline and continues 

work in keeping our community safe. 

Empowering our Community 

The Resource Management Act (RMA) 

is the framework legislation to guide local 

Councils on rules for resource use and 

environmental controls. 

Selwyn has recently been in the news with 

regards to the new Roydon Quarry near 

homes in Templeton, and the toxic waste 

treatment plant on Prebbleton’s doorstep. 

Under the National government, the 

community was locked out of decisions 

and had their views ignored. Labour is 

working to reinstate this fundamental 

community voice into decisions that 

affect you. Our team are committed 

to repealing and replacing the RMA 

to ensure greater local community 

involvement to deliver better 

environmental outcomes. 

Investing in our Future 

Investing in Research and Development 

is vital to maintain our position as world 

leaders in innovative and sustainable 

farming practice. 

I’m really proud that we’ve recently made 

a $45 million investment into a fit-forfuture 

scientific research facility at Ag 

Research in Lincoln. The build will be a 

boost to the Selwyn economy, a future 

asset for Lincoln and provide a centre of 

excellence for land-based science and 

farming research. 

It is vital that we back our brightest 

thinking to ensure our primary industries 

can innovate and thrive in Selwyn. 

Let’s keep moving



SELWYN TIMES 


I care deeply about people. I am born and bred in Canterbury surrounded by a large supportive family, and received 

an excellent education enabling me to work in a job I love. 

I’ve worked my way up the ranks of television production in New Zealand, starting with making coffee. I’ve 

production-managed lifestyle and magazine shows for Television New Zealand and worked as a Creator and 

Series Producer for New Zealand’s largest children’s production company — always with an eye to increasing 

opportunities for business and jobs in Canterbury. 

As an elected Community Board member for Banks Peninsula (which until recently overlapped Selwyn) I value how 

much our local rural communities contribute to the national economy and have seen how they can be best served 

and supported. 

It would be my honour to serve you as the Labour MP for Selwyn. 

Your vote matters — choose two ticks for Labour to keep Selwyn moving forward.

Get your home noticed 

It takes more than good photography to help sell a 

home. You’ll want your home to look attractive and 

appealing for a potential home buyer so check out 

these following tips to get your home ready for 

real estate photography and open homes... 

• First impressions count: Clear away shoes, coats and other items to make your 

front entrance look clean and welcoming. 

• Create natural light: Open all curtains and/or blinds; turn on lights for open 

home days. 

• Keep it clean: A clean house and well cared for section will be far more 

appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs; shine the taps; polish the windows and 

doorknobs; wash and vacuum the floors. 

• Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking and living smells to linger – open windows 

daily, display a vase of sweet smelling flowers, and if need be an occasional spray 

with a can of air freshener. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder what you 

are trying to cover up. 

• De-clutter every room: This is the most important. Clean counters, tables, 

coffee tables and wall units. Clutter really attracts the eye and takes away from the 

beauty of the home. 

• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all unnecessary items; keep the benches clean and 

clear; remove all used tea towels and dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the 

dining table. 

• Bathroom: We all have clutter in the bathroom – toothbrushes, creams, 

toothpaste etc. Before the photographer arrives (or potential buyers) put all the 

clutter into a small box, which can easily be stored out of sight. Place clean colour 

co-ordinated towels, neatly folded, onto the towel rail. 

• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated bedcovers and linen; plump up your pillows; 

straighten the valance; put all clothing and person items out of sight. 

• Office: It’s often hard to keep this room perfectly tidy but try to keep it as orderly 

as possible. 

• Keep corners free of clutter: This helps make a room look bigger and therefore 

more spacious. 

• Make your room look bigger: rearrange furniture to create more floor space. 

• Add colour: If your house is neutral in colour, try adding small touches of colour 

with fresh flowers. Another quick color fix is to use cushions but don’t go overboard. 

Red works well against neutral backgrounds as do bright blues and greens. Just 

remember to keep it minimal, pick one colour per room, and it will work. 

• Move toys out of living areas: Keep them in the rumpus room or the children’s 

bedrooms. 

• Boxes or small storage units: Stack them in one area or the spare bedroom. 

Better not to take a picture of the spare bedroom than have boxes or storage 

boxes in each room. Better yet – stack them against one wall and this way the 

photographer can avoid that wall when taking the picture. 

• Check your cords, cables and wires: Tuck and hide those cords away or simply 

unplug them. 

• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective buyers don’t want pets leaping at them 

or they may be even allergic to pet hair, so keep them out of sight or away for 

photography and open home days. 

• Clean up your section and garage: Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded, hoses 

and wheelbarrow stored out of sight; take excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your 

garage to look as spacious and orderly as possible. 

Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder 

what you are trying to cover up.

Snuggle down 

When it comes to home heating, ‘bang 

for your buck’ is essential and part of 

this is ensuring your home is adequately 

insulated. Did you know that a 2% gap 

in insulation can result in a 20% heat 

loss? This can make a huge difference to 

the comfort of your home. 

Insulation works by slowing heat 

loss from your home, enclosing it in a 

thermal envelope. This is why around 

40% of heat is lost through the ceiling in 

the average uninsulated home. 

In addition to insulation, simple 

measures, such as using thermal 

curtains and sealing gaps and cracks, 

will eliminate draughts and prevent 

warm air escaping where it shouldn’t. 

It also pays to remember that heating 

a room to a moderate constant 

temperature is much more efficient than 

a fluctuating heat. 

Designed to not only be practical and 

functional but to enhance the décor 

of your home, there is a home-heating 

option for every home, and everyone. 

GAS FIRES 

Providing fast, convenient and 

easily regulated heat, gas can bring 

a moderate-size room to a warm, 

comfortable temperature in about 10-15 

minutes. Glass-fronted gas fireplaces 

are significantly more efficient than 

open-fronted ones, and as gas fires 

are cleaner than wood-burning fires 

they are favoured in clean-air areas, 

making this a popular heating option in 

Christchurch. 

Like other heating options, most 

modern gas fires have a timer facility. 

HEAT PUMPS 

Heat pumps come in a variety of 

options: high-wall, floor consoles, 

slimline, quiet ... the list goes on, 

ensuring there is a design, size and 

placement to suit your needs. 

Be smart about your energy use and 

ensure you have the right size heat pump 

for your space. If you pick one that is 

too small, it will have to work hard all 

the time, and will use more power than 

necessary. A unit that is the right size 

should heat your space in 5-15 minutes. 

DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING 

Ducted air conditioning systems work 

exactly the same way as a high-wall heat 

pump, in that there is an indoor unit 

and an outdoor unit, and by passing a 

refrigerant between them they transfer 

heat (or cooling) into a room. 

Unlike the high-wall system, where 

the indoor unit is visible, the ducted 

indoor unit is hidden away in the ceiling 

space and uses flexible ducts to pass the 

heat from room to room through vents 

in the ceiling, wall or floor. 

CENTRAL HEATING 

Growing in popularity in New Zealand, 

warm-water central heating is the 

even distribution of heat throughout 

the home from a central point or heat 

source. Warm water is distributed via a 

network of pipes connected to radiators 

in each room, or looped under the floor 

for underfloor heating. Releasing a gentle 

heat, no water is actually consumed, 

ensuring this is the ultimate in efficiency. 

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM 

Home heating isn’t just about keeping 

the house warm; it’s also about 

maintaining a healthy home. In the 

summer months we are able to throw 

open the windows to air the house, an 

option not available in cooler weather, 

meaning condensation is often an 

unhealthy side effect of winter. The 

installation of an effective heat-recovery 

or ventilation system can help solve 

this problem, thereby working towards 

creating a warmer, drier and, above all, 

healthier living environment. 

WOOD BURNERS 

When used properly, wood burners 

are a great and economical option, 

especially if you have access to free or 

cheap firewood. You do, however, need 

to ensure your fire is clean-air approved, 

especially in Canterbury. When buying 

a wood fire, consider efficiency rating, 

clean burn, emission levels and size. 

PELLET BURNERS 

Pellet fires have come a long way in 

recent years and most are now available 

as free-standing or inbuilt, offering a 

wider variety when it comes to selecting 

the right look for your space. 

There are many benefits to a pellet 

burner as they offer all the warmth and 

luxury of a flame without the hassle of 

cutting, carrying and storing firewood. 

Made from sawmill waste, the pellets are 

carbon-neutral and burn cleanly. 

One of the biggest limitations is the 

initial cost, with the price of buying and 

installing a pellet burner greater than 

that of a conventional wood burner. The 

burner also relies on electricity so won’t 

work during a power cut.

Now is the perfect time 

to buy and sell property 

If you’re looking for real estate, location 

and value are everything. Now is the 

perfect time to get into the Christchurch 

and Canterbury property market. 

Great value for money, better 

transport connections, and an easing 

in lending restrictions all spell for a 

bright future for the city and region, 

says Harcourts Four Seasons franchise 

owner James Twiss. 

“We are really excited that our markets 

are active and attractive. The value 

opportunity is just outstanding.” 

The city and region are a great place 

to live, work, and play, with beaches, 

forests, and mountains and ski-fields all 

within easy reach, as well as a dynamic 

urban centre. 

Canterbury and Christchurch are a stable 

real estate market, offering excellent 

buying opportunities—for both new 

and established homes—compared with 

Auckland and Wellington. 

The current market is attracting Kiwis 

returning home from overseas, as well 

as local buyers keen to find good value 

property, and Auckland investors. 

Investment in better transport 

will benefit the entire region. The 

Northern Corridor, which includes the 

Cranford Basin bypass, will bring the 

city closer to town. 

“Kaiapoi is extremely good value, even 

now, and will form part of the city,” says 

Twiss. “Subdivision land is available, 

new buildings are good value, but also 

established property, and three and four 

bedrooms are well within reach.” 

The Southern Motorway extension will 

likewise benefit Rolleston and Lincoln, 

to the south of Christchurch. Rolleston 

is predicted to grow by another 5,000 

people in the next six years. 

“Access to jobs in the city and Lyttelton 

make these locations unbelievably good 

value. It’s good firm ground, postearthquake 

build.” 

It’s now got easier to buy a new house, 

thanks to a change in the lending rules. 

LVR (Loan to Value Restrictions) are down 

to 70 to 80 per cent. “That has created an 

even better opportunity for first home 

buyers and those looking for good buying 

opportunities.” 

A shortage of rentals benefits vendors 

and investors. “We have seen quite 

a few Auckland buyers coming into 

town,” says Twiss. “Average Auckland 

properties are $1 million. You can access 

10 per cent of that for investment. You 

have got the ability to buy a decent 

rental property.” 

Twiss says buyers can have confidence 

in the Harcourts brand, which has 

been Reader’s Digest’s 

most trusted brand 

for the eighth year 

running. Harcourts 

Four Seasons has over 

30 years’ experience in 

Christchurch real estate. 

“We say we’ve got you 

covered. Four Seasons 

are your local office. We 

live local, we support our 

local communities, we sell 

local and we understand 

the local and Canterbury 

market. We can attract the 

most buyers and therefore 

get the most for people’s 

properties.” 

Harcourts Four Seasons 

is the largest real estate 

business in Selwyn and 

the Waimakariri, with 

over 90 sales consultants 

operating eight branches: 

in Rolleston, Lincoln, 

Hornby, Belfast, The 

Palms, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, 

and Hanmer Springs. 

The company also has international 

reach. With a trend for ex-pat Kiwis 

showing an interest in returning home, 

Harcourts has the international network 

to help make the transaction smoother.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Showhome a candidate for 

Master Builders’ Award 

A new showhome in Rolleston by 

Clark Bros Construction, is set to 

impress judges in this year’s Master 

Builders’ Awards. It has certainly 

been impressing those who have been 

visiting the home. 

Clark Bros Construction was 

established in 2014 by brothers, 

Jarryd and Shannon Clark who take a 

hands-on approach to their business, 

working with clients and managing 

each project, to ensure a smooth and 

timely build. 

Jarryd says quality is an essential 

ingredient and this is evident in their 

showhome at The Borough. The 

267sqm, 4-bedroom home impresses 

from the moment 

you walk through the 

door. Its warmth begs 

you to linger. 

A cathedral ceiling 

gives the separate 

lounge something 

extra. A swing glass 

door connects this 

room to the kitchen, 

dining and living 

space. A double 

sided gas fire serves 

both lounge and 

living areas, adding 

ambience while 

ensuring cosy living. A box seat 

directly under the fire on the kitchen 

side, offers a charming spot to relax, 

or sit and chat with those in the 

kitchen. 

From the large living room, double 

stacking sliders open onto a large 

north-facing hardwood deck, making 

the home perfect for a family or when 

entertaining. Large windows ensure a 

bright sunny home year round. 

The kitchen is generous both in 

size and cupboard space. A walk-in 

butler’s pantry is tucked in behind. 

This has a sink and space for a wide 

refrigerator. Not often seen, is the 

switching of the sink and cooktop. 

A new showhome 

in Rolleston 

by Clark Bros 

Construction, is 

set to impress 

judges in this 

year’s Master 

Builders’ Awards. 

The latter, an induction hob is 

mounted in the centre island with 

built-in rangehood overhead. There 

is a built-in dishwasher and quality 

Electrolux appliances. In the lounge 

and kitchen, there are solar remote 

controlled opening Velux skylights 

with fitted blinds. 

One passes through a wide study 

nook when accessing the hallway 

from the living zone; an area which 

might easily serve as a home office. 

All bedrooms in the home are 

doubles. The master bedroom has 

a larger than usual walk-in robe 

with fitted cabinetry. There is also a 

luxurious, roomy ensuite with doublebowl 

wood hanging 

vanity, generous 

fully tiled shower 

and separated toilet. 

Lighting illuminates 

a tiled feature wall in 

the shower itself. 

Both bathrooms 

have underfloor 

heating. The main 

bathroom has a 

hanging wood vanity 

with white bowl, 

freestanding black 

and white bath with 

tiled feature wall and 

fully tiled shower. There is also a small 

washbasin in the separate toilet. 

Built-in joinery with space for 

under-bench washer and dryer can 

be found in the separate laundry, 

along with ample storage in the large 

walk-in storeroom (in the hall) and 

attic storage trusses in the 6.5x6 metre 

garage. 

The home’s external cladding is a 

fully vented plaster panel system with 

cedar and classic stone features. The 

roof has long-run corrugated iron. 

Clark Bros Construction’s The 

Borough showhome is open Saturdays 

and Sundays, 11am until 4pm, at 50 

Lanner Drive, Rolleston. 

Show homes 

the ultimate way to shop around 

Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an 

extensive array of very good quality show homes.

to demonstrate their workmanship, 

display innovative design ideas and 

present a snapshot into a new and 

luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the 

latest in materials, fittings and fixtures. 

A show home can inspire you in a way 

nothing else can. You can absorb the 

ambiance they present and admire the 

innovative techniques, new materials 

and technology. 

You can ask questions, take notes 

and compare. You can see at a glance 

features you would love to emulate or 

would avoid when building your home. 

Best of all, you ;will see the building 

companies’ attention to detail. 

Show homes are the perfect way to get 

a good idea of pricing, discover good 

quality and value, learn about superior 

use of space, future-proofing, ongoing 

maintenance and long-term returns. 

So what are you waiting for? Check
