Neighbours at war
Across
fence
conflicts
increase
• By Devon Bolger
A FAMILY caught in a feud
with their neighbours for the
past year say they are relieved it
is finally over.
The neighbours, who
allegedly taunted and watched
the Rolleston residents, have
now moved
out.
Senior
Sergeant
Dean Harker
said police
have seen an
increase in
Dean Harker
the number
of complaints
regarding
neighbourhood conflicts in the
district over the last month.
A member of the family,
who wished to remain
anonymous, said: “It started a
couple of years after they moved
in. They were targeting the other
neighbours first and then they
started on us. They kind of left
my husband alone but they
would yell out at me.
“It got to the point where we
didn’t really go outside. My
husband wouldn’t even open
his garage because they’d be
watching him. They’d just
stand out there and stare at you
or look out their window at
you. It was constant weird stuff
they were doing.”
They were very relieved to
hear their neighbours have now
moved out as the household
was deeply affected by the
conflict, the resident said.
“We even changed the layout
of our house. We blocked the
windows in our lounge and
made it a smaller area so they
couldn’t look into it.”
They reported the incidents to
police but there was not much
that could be done unless a
criminal offence was committed.
“I laid a complaint first off
and then I had direct contact
with a police officer and could
just contact him.
“It may have been about
six times I talked to police
about it but there was a lot of
stuff I didn’t report because
it was annoying to us but
it wasn’t going to change
anything.” • Turn to page 4

IT SOUNDS like not-sofriendly
neighbours are
becoming more prevalent in
the district.
On page 1 today, we talk
to one family that has been
through the mill in the past
year.
Their problems have finally
come to an end because the
neighbours causing the
psychological carnage have
moved out.
Said the aggrieved party:
“It got to the point where
we didn’t really go outside.
My husband wouldn’t even
open his garage because
they’d be watching him.
They’d just stand out there
and stare at you or look out
their window at you. It was
constant weird stuff they
were doing.”
Police say a key piece of
advice to people is to not
take matters into their own
hands.
Wise words.

Lincoln to get an
ambulance based at fire station
• By Devon Bolger
A COMMUNITY-LED initiative
will see an ambulance based at
Lincoln.
It is likely the ambulance will
be on call every day from 10am-
10pm.
St John is working with Fire
and Emergency New Zealand
over the project. Discussions
are being held
about when it
will be up and
running.
The ambulance
will be
based at the
Lincoln Fire
Dave Berry
Station.
Said FENZ
area commander
Dave Berry: “It’s actually
a local community initiative and
they approached us and I offered
the station as a place to put it.
“It will be based in Lincoln but
used around the area.”
Berry said it is good to have
extra support for medical calls in
Lincoln.
“All of the firefighters are trained
in responding to medical calls
but it is always good to have some
extra knowledge behind you.
“We attend any purple calls
which are cardiac arrests and
things like that and also motor
vehicle accidents where we do
basic treatment of patients,
extracting and things like
that.”
Last year the Lincoln Volunteer
Fire Brigade responded to 54
motor vehicle accidents and 17
medical calls.
Currently there are ambulances
based in Rolleston and Darfield.
Last year, the station in

PROGRESS:
The Lincoln
Fire Station
will be the
home of an
ambulance
service that
will operate
in the area
from 10am-
10pm.
Rolleston became staffed 24/7
meaning it has one ambulance
operating 24 hours a day, seven
days a week and a second
ambulance on a 12-hour day
shift from mid-morning to midevening.

relieved
it’s finally
over
• From page 1
Harker said the conflict with
the resident is one of a number of
similar situations they have been
made aware of recently.
“We have about three ongoing
conflicts in Rolleston at the moment
and a couple of incidents
from rural areas outside of Rolleston.”
He said police sometimes attempt
to speak with both parties
to try to work through the conflict
but it is not always possible.
“Not everybody agrees to
mediation so it can be difficult.
Legally there is not a lot we can
do if they have not committed a
criminal offence.”
Harker said the key piece of
advice he can give is to not take
matters into your own hands.

Good start to young
driver licence campaign
• By Devon Bolger
POLICE SAY catching just two
young drivers breaching their
licence conditions as part of a
new campaign is a good start.
Senior Constable Scott
Mclachlan said he has been
happy with the results since the
campaign launched last Monday.
“It is good that we are not
getting a lot of stops of kids
breaching their licences.”
Of the two police have caught,
one of them is a female who
was driving on a learner licence
with no supervisor or L plates in
place.
“It was quite obvious she was
not a confident driver which is
what drew my attention to her.”
The other offender was a male
who was also on a learner licence
and was carrying passengers.
Both of the drivers will be
sent letters to attend a seminar
planned for later in the year
instead of being given tickets.
“The passengers in the vehicle
will also be asked to attend as if
you are a passenger to someone
on a learner licence, you are
more than likely going to be
aiding and abetting so you’re
basically committing the same
offence as the driver.”
Mclachlan said police found
no drivers in breach of their
licence conditions during patrols
at Darfield and Lincoln high
schools on Monday morning.
“I have not been disappointed
is how I would describe it. It is
good that we are not getting a lot
of stops of kids breaching their
licences.”
More patrols are planned,
mainly in the mornings and
lunchtimes, until the second
week of October when the
campaign will end.
Rather than being fined,
drivers caught breaching their
licences will instead be invited to
an educational seminar.
‘If they attend and they take

on board the presentation then
we won’t issue a fine and demerit
points.
“If they decline to show up
then they will get a ticket which
will be dated back to when they
were dealt with.”
Young people breaching
the conditions of their licence
is a problem in the district,
Mclachlan said.
“It is a problem all over the
country. We have a limited
number of staff who are in a
position to be able to respond
regularly and keep on top of that
kind of offending.”

on some overdue library items
• By Devon Bolger
FOR THE next two years,
residents will no longer be
charged if their library book is
overdue.
District council chief executive
David Ward said it is one of the
post Covid-19 initiatives to support
the community.
“It’s as much of a response to
Covid-19 as it is to enhancing the
libraries. We are also acknowledging
that we are in the midst
of constructing a very significant
library in Rolleston, Te Ara Atea,
and reminding people of that.”
Ward said the proposal has
been on the back-burner for a
while but Covid-19 has given
them an opportunity to revisit it.

SECTIONS OF two Prebbleton
water races will be closed to
make way for upgrades to two
dangerous intersections.
The district council agreed to
the closure of a 920m section of
the Blakes Rd water race and a
2700m section of the Marshs Rd
District councillors unanimously
voted last week to approve
waiving the overdue fees
until June 30, 2022.
Residents have previously been
charged 50c per book per day if
it is overdue. The fees are already
waived for junior cards.
A total of $17,133 in overdue
fees were paid during the
2018/2019 financial year and
$11,932 was generated last financial
year.
The fees will now be waived
with the exception of adults who
are late returning items from the
pay-for/value added, hot picks
and some DVDs.
The library will still charge for
the replacement of any items that
are lost or damaged.
Roundabouts force closure of water races
water race.
It is to make way for new
roundabouts that will be installed
at the Springs and Marshs
and Blakes and Shands Rds
intersections.
A district council spokesman
said the closure will save significant
costs when building the new
roundabouts.
“Due to work on the Christchurch
Southern Motorway both
[water races] have been flowing
intermittently and their closure
will provide certainty to nearby
landlords on future water supplies.”
The Shands and Blakes Rds
intersection was named one of
the worst in Canterbury in 2018

based on crash statistics.
There have been two fatal
crashes, one serious, and nine
minor at the intersection since

there in February 2018.
At the Springs and Marshs Rds
intersection, there has been one
serious crash and two non-injury
crashes.
Chlorine for
two more
water supplies
• By Devon Bolger
THE UPPER Selwyn Huts and
Arthur’s Pass water supplies will
be permanently chlorinated.
District councillors unanimously
voted to approve the proposal at
a meeting last week.
It follows a decision in December
2018 to chlorinate both water
supplies, subject to consultation
with both communities.
Following that consultation,
the district council has agreed
to chlorinate based on a risk assessment
approach to make sure
water is safe at the two locations.
Independent risk reviews of
both sites also recommended
chlorination. The risk assessment
for Arthur’s Pass gave the scheme
a score of 43.7 out of 100 and the
Upper Selwyn Huts scheme 34.1.
It brings the total number of
chlorinated water supplies in the
district to nine. A further 19 supplies
remain unchlorinated.
The district council also agreed
to consult with the community
through the 2021-2031 Long-Term
Plan on whether the remaining
unchlorinated supplies should be
chlorinated.

Crusaders fan thanks lifesavers
• By Matt Slaughter
JACQUI TURNBULL was
waiting in the line to watch the
Crusaders play the Blues with
her family last month.
The next thing she remembers
is darkness.
The 55-year-old had collapsed
after an asthma attack and if it
wasn’t for three doctors behind
her in the line, St John paramedics,
police and security staff,
Turnbull said she would be dead.
Said Turnbull: “We had parked
down on Lyttelton St and I was
walking quite fast because I
didn’t want Jack, my little grandson
to miss out on seeing the
horses going around.”
She didn’t have her inhaler
with her and when she got to the
gate and her family members
were getting tickets Turnbull was
feeling faint and decided to sit on
a nearby grass verge.
“That was the last thing I
remember,” she said.
St John ambulance staff came
to her aid and started doing cardiopulmonary
resuscitation but
she was not breathing.
That’s when doctors Tom
Brown, David Lyons-Ewing and
Rob Cole who were standing behind
her, stepped in and inserted
a tube into Turnbull’s mouth to

Cole, the doctors who saved her life.

“If they hadn’t have been
there, I was a goner.”

help her start breathing again.
“The doctors were actually
ICU doctors, it was so crazy, and
they just finished their shift to go
to the game.
“If they hadn’t have been there,
I was a goner,” she said.
The three doctors then left
Turnbull in the hands of ambulance
staff.
Said Turnbull: “The ambulance
apparently worked on me for 20
minutes or so before they even
left the stadium.”
TITLE-WINNERS: After suffering a life-threatening asthma
attack at the Crusaders v Blues game last month, Jacqui
Turnbull received tickets to watch the red and blacks beat
the Highlanders on August 8.
PHOTO: GETTY
She was transported to the intensive
care unit at Christchurch
Hospital.
Turnbull’s family was told she
may suffer brain damage, but
miraculously, she recovered and
was discharged two days after
her asthma attack.
Crusaders staff heard
Turnbull’s story and invited
her, her daughter Jess Blomeley
and Blomeley’s friend Sophie
Thompson to the team’s training
in the lead-up to the Highlanders
clash, where she met with
Brown, police and security staff
who helped her, and coach Scott
Robertson.
Said Turnbull: “Tom [Brown]
the young doctor had actually
come in to see me when I was in
the ward, it must have been Monday
morning, so I had actually
met him prior to this. But because
I was so spaced out, just saying
thank you didn’t even cut it.
“It was really cool to be able to
go back there a few weeks later
and meet up with everybody and
it was very overwhelming.”
Meanwhile, Turnbull and her
family got free tickets to see the

Terrace Downs Resort up for auction
THE TERRACE Downs golf
resort, which is regarded as one
of the best in the country, is up
for auction after its owner died
from Covid-19.
The resort in Windwhistle
was bought by Japanese investor
Hiroshi Hasegawa in 2012 after
he was given the go-ahead by the
Overseas Investment Office.
Hasegawa died in Japan aged
59 in April after becoming ill
with Covid-19. His estate is now
selling the resort.
The auction is set to take place
on September 17 in Christchurch.
Terrace Downs Resort is regarded
as the finest high-country
course in New Zealand and was
ranked by New Zealand Golf
magazine as one of the top five
courses for layout in the country.
The par 72 course offers a
choice of four tees on each hole
and incorporates 10 lakes and
more than 60 bunkers.
Marketing agent Tim Rookes,
of commercial real estate firm
CBRE, said the property is being
sold as land and buildings only.
“We are expecting strong interest
from high net worth investors
and consortiums, who will
recognise this as a rare chance to
acquire a very well-known property.
This is a fantastic opportunity
to own a championship golf
HIGHLY-REGARDED: Terrace Downs golf resort will go up for auction following the death of its owner Hiroshi Hasegawa.
course which is regarded as one
of the best in the country,” he
says.
“Golf courses certainly don’t
come up on the market very
often, certainly not in such a
magnificent setting as this, so we
expect this will be seen as a trophy
asset by prospective buyers.”
The resort features extensive
landscaping, with tussock plantings,
lakes and stands of woodland
and bush.
Sealed roads provide access to
78 privately-owned residential
sites; including a cluster of 52
apartments and 26 free-standing
chalet-style homes scattered
throughout the property.
As well as golf, the resort itself
has existing facilities for archery,
clay bird shooting, tennis,
mountain biking and a driving
range.

Take action if you are being harassed
Area response manager
Senior Sergeant Dean
Harker talks about police
activity in the district
03 349 5050
Dean Harker
Selwyn Police
“DENTURES
IN A DAY!”
Call now
for details
OVER THE last month we have
had an increase of residents
having ongoing problems with
their neighbours and calling into
the station for advice, a lot of
the time it is more of a civil than
criminal matter.
Here is some advice for
people having these types of
problems:
If you’ve been harassed by a
stranger or someone else in the
community, you can take action
against them under the Harassment
Act 1997.
You can apply to the district
court for a restraining order
against the harasser, and in the
most serious cases you can go to
the police.
“Harassment” covers a wide
range of behaviour, including
things such as stalking, abusive
phone calls, and threatening
letter.
The Harassment Act recognises
that behaviour that might
seem innocent or trivial on its
own may amount to harassment
when seen in context.
When you take action under
the Harassment Act, you have
to show, first, that the behaviour
amounts to “harassment” within
the meaning of the Act, and
second that the harassment meets
the test for obtaining a restraining
order under the civil law parts
of the Act or meet the higher test
for criminal harassment.
The Harassment Act doesn’t
apply when the person harassing
you is someone who you’re in a
family or domestic relationship
with. This is covered instead by
the Family Violence Act.
Family violence (which the law
used to call “domestic violence”)
can include a wide range of
family and close personal
relationships.
How can the Harassment Act
help?
If you’re being harassed, you
can apply for a restraining order
from the district court under the
“civil harassment” parts of the
Act.
The Harassment Act also
makes the most serious types of
harassment a criminal offence,
whether or not you’ve already
been granted a restraining order.
In those cases, you can complain
to the police, and if the harasser
is convicted they could be jailed
for up to two years.
A person’s behaviour can
amount to both criminal and
civil harassment. In those situations,
you can both complain to
the police and also apply to the
district court for a restraining
order.
What is a restraining order?
A restraining order is a legal
order granted by the district
court under the “civil harassment”
part of the Harassment
Act. The order makes it a
criminal offence for the harasser
to contact you in any way, or do
things like watching or hanging
round outside your home, or
following you or stopping you in
the street, or doing anything else
that would make any reasonable
person fear for their safety.
The order also makes it illegal
for the harasser to threaten to do
any of those things, or to encourage
someone else to do any of
those things to you.
Just having a restraining order
made against them doesn’t give
the harasser a criminal record.
However, it’s a criminal offence
if they breach the order, and this
will give the person a criminal
record. In this way a restraining
order is similar to a protection
order under the Family Violence
Act.
COMPLAIN: Harassment covers a wide range of behaviour
including stalking.
If the criteria for a restraining
order are met, an order can be
made against any person, but
with exceptions:
• An order can’t be made
against a child (that is, someone
under 18) unless they’re married,
in a civil union, or in a de facto
relationship with their parent’s
permission.
• An order can’t be made
against someone who you are
(or have been) in a family or domestic
relationship with. In these
cases you may be able to apply
for a protection order under the
Family Violence Act.
What’s been happening
crime-wise around the district?
We had a fantastic result
when Senior Constable Hamish
Caird, of Darfield, was able
to apprehend two people and
charge them with a large number
of offences relating to the theft
of farm gates in the area. With

some good old-fashioned
police work we were able to
hold these suspects to account
for their actions and return a
large number of gates to their
owners.
We are also running an operation
over the next few months
focusing on young drivers
breaching their driver licence,
we are focusing on educating the
drivers rather than punishing
them.
I encourage any parent of
a youth who is apprehended
during the operation to attend
the seminar we are having
at the end of the operation,
as a number of parents will
be unaware of insurance
implications, financial and
emotional effects on family of
any youths involved in accidents
where they breach their licence
or a caught driving outside the

Kirwee founded by Irish settler
COLONEL de Renzie James
Brett was a prominent pioneer of
the Selwyn district, noted for his
role in bringing irrigation to the
area and in the establishment of
Kirwee; yet he remains relatively
unknown.
Born in Wexford, Ireland, in
1809, Brett was typical of many
early settlers in the district in that
he was well-educated and had
served as an army officer before
migrating to New Zealand. By
the age of 16 he was serving as a
junior officer in the British East
India Company, in India, where
he saw continuous active military
service until 1853, having fought
in the second Anglo-Burmese
war.
During the Crimean War he
was seconded by the War Office
in London for service with
the Sultan of Turkey and later
returned to India where he was
present at the relief of Delhi and
Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny
of 1857-58. He retired with
the rank of colonel in 1863.
Brett immigrated to New
Zealand with his wife and four
children, arriving in Lyttelton on
the Greyhound on May 9, 1865.
A short time later he purchased
a 1000-acre sheep run south of
Courtenay and became a supporter
of small farmer interests and

In 1868, the Coal Tramway
Reserve running from Rolleston
to Springfield was marked out by
David Jebson with the intention
Our Great
history
WITH WAYNE STACK
of building a railway line from
Rolleston to Springfield. By 1871
the Courtenay and Tramway
Rds (now known as West Coast
Rd – State Highway 73) had been
surveyed, with the intersection of
these two roads being known as
Brett’s Corner.
With the development of the
railway, interest in establishing
a settlement at Brett’s Corner
increased with the sale of land
and by the time the railway came
through in 1874 a grocery shop
and a bakery had been established
on Tramway Rd, along with a
blacksmith shop on Courtenay
Rd. This was followed by a flour
mill in 1876.
With the building of a railway
station an official name for the
settlement had to be found and
Colonel Brett suggested ‘Kirwee,’
which was subsequently adopted.
The first survey of the township
was registered in October 1877.
Brett’s greatest contribution to
the district was the part he played
in establishing the extensive water
race system that provided muchneeded
water throughout the
district. During the pioneering
years of farming in the area many
locations suffered from a lack of
regular water supply.

Irrigation changed face of district
• From page 11
As farms were established increasingly
further away from the
rivers, water had to be carted in
drays using 400 gallon tanks. This
difficult process was no longer
required through the efforts of
Brett in developing the Malvern
water race system.
He was fully aware of the acute
need for water on the dry plains
and had a novel idea how this
could be supplied. During his
time in India he had seen how the
irrigation systems there had been
developed to provide water to
marginal land.
At first his vision of extracting
water from the Waimakariri
River to supply the whole of the
Canterbury Plains was ridiculed,
as many believed the water would
be lost through the shingle.
However, after the success
of a similar system in mid-
Canterbury, in 1871 the
Canterbury Provincial Council
gave permission for a survey to
be conducted into the feasibility
of Brett’s scheme. Once this was
completed a recommendation
was made for water to be taken
from the Kowai River near
Springfield.
Work commenced in 1876 and
by the end of 1877 the headworks
and two miles of race had been
completed and officially opened.
Drummond’s smithy in 1874. Right: The monument over the Kirwee water race dedicated to Colonel de Renzie James Brett.
One branch of the line followed
the straight Tramway Rd from
Springfield to Rolleston, through
Kirwee.
The water race eventually
reached Kirwee in 1881 and at
this time Brett and other farmers
in the area had (probably illegally)
dug their own connecting
irrigation ditches to extract water
from the main race.
This scheme proved so successful
in providing a constant
and reliable water supply that a
deputation from West Melton
requested a branch race be built
to also supply water to properties
along the Bealey Rd.
The demand for water increased
with further settlement
and by 1886 a new scheme was
authorized.
Headworks were built near
Halkett and from this intake the
majority of West Melton’s stock
and domestic water was supplied
from the Waimakariri River. The
race system was extended over
time and by 1889 it provided
water to the new Christchurch
Meat Company freezing works at
Islington.
The water race system is Brett’s
legacy to the people of the district
and after 144 years is still functioning
under the guardianship
of the Selwyn District Council.
The importance of the system to
the early settlers was summed up
by one local pioneer: ‘Water has
changed the whole face of nature
in the district, and life that was
hardly tolerable, is now worth
living.’
Brett was also noted as a
successful and influential
farmer, being active within
his local community. He was
a founding member of the
Courtenay Farmers Club in 1869,
which became the Courtenay
Agricultural and Pastoral
Association in 1880, holding
positions as the first president,
and later patron.
Colonel Brett died at
Christchurch in 1889, aged 80.
A monument spanning the main
water race at Kirwee was built
in 1930 in recognition of his
contribution in establishing water
supply for the Canterbury Plains
and remains a feature of the
township’s history.

Put down your roots
in Selwyn
Newcomers to Selwyn are being invited to join longer-term residents to literally put down roots in
the district.
A planting day is being held at Chamberlains Ford Recreation Reserve on Sunday 6 September
9.30am–12pm where Selwyn residents are invited to put down their roots by planting a native tree.
There are 1000 trees to be planted on the day, with people encouraged to bring families and leave
their mark on the Selwyn landscape for good.
The aim is to give newcomers to Selwyn an opportunity to increase their bond with their new
home, by symbolically and physically putting down roots. It is also about building community;
bringing together newer residents with those who have been here for a longer time, to meet, mix
and connect, Council Group Manager Community Services and Facilities, Denise Kidd says.
“In the same way as plants get nourishment from the soil through their roots and go on to grow,
thrive and spread, Council wants people to stay here, put down roots and improve Selwyn, for
now and into the future.”
Selwyn is one of nine councils recognised as Welcoming Communities under the Immigration New
Zealand Welcoming Communities programme, which recognises and supports work by councils
to help newcomers feel welcome and build connections.
An art hub for the community
Four years ago a former electrical store building sat empty on
Leeston’s High Street.
One day Ellesmere Art Group Trust member Averil Southward was
asked by the building’s landlord to brighten up the place with her
art in the window and before long people started ringing wanting to
purchase her work.
Today over 6,000 people visit this building each year to view the
many pieces of artwork displayed in the building’s windows and
gallery space.
The Lakeland Art Gallery, run by 19 volunteers, has a separate
tutor room used for workshops for the public and members of
the Ellesmere Art Group Trust. The workshops are funded by the
Council’s Creative Community Fund.
“It’s different to other art groups in that we’ve got a comfortable tutor
area all set up and a gallery where artists can display their art and be
with art the whole time. We’ve made it feel like home,” Averil says.
The fund goes towards art tutors and materials such as mosaic tiles
and acrylic paints for the workshops.
Averil has been a part of the Ellesmere Art Group Trust for ten
years and says the trust has been using the fund for many years –
long before she joined – which has enabled it to open this hub for
the community.
“People just love coming here. I’ve got a lovely elderly lady who
comes here, she’ll come in once a month because it puts a smile
on her face. You get these comments and it just makes you feel so
good, it’s nice if you can provide that for people,” she says.
It has even attracted new Selwyn residents exploring the area and
often they become trust members and volunteers.
“There’s hours and hours of work that goes into it but we’re very
proud of it and we’re hoping we can stay here for a really long time.”
Applications for the Creative Community Fund are now open. Visit
selwyn.govt.nz/artsfunding to find out more.
Large-scale water upgrades continuing
Four new water treatment plant upgrades have been completed as the major upgrade works to the
districts’ water systems continue.
Upgrades have been completed on treatment plants at Rakaia Huts, Tai Tapu, Claremont, Veuve Drive
in Lincoln and Gallipoli Street in Leeston, adding treatment options such as UV treatment.
The work is part of a $23 million district-wide programme of 59 capital works projects to build and
upgrade pump stations and water treatment plants, to increase capacity and improve water quality
and safety.
Work is also under way on treatment plant upgrades in Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Dalethorpe,
Springston, West Melton and Te Pirita. A further seven upgrades are planned over the next two years in
Kirwee, Lincoln, Hororata, Darfield, Prebbleton, Springfield and Taumutu.
Council Group Manager Infrastructure Murray Washington says the upgrades are part of a significant
long-term commitment from the Council to keep improving this service, to keep up with growth and
health requirements.
“Clean, safe drinking water is an essential service and we’re committed to providing the best service
possible to make sure that people have access to a safe and sufficient supply.”

Selwyn Open: Old library becomes cave of treasures
As part of our Selwyn Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to
you. You can find these businesses on the Selwyn Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory.
This week we talk to Carol Gurney from Carol’s Closet.
After selling the Hororata Café, Carol Gurney wanted to raise money for St John’s Church, left damaged
by the 2010 earthquake.
That was when she decided to transform a vacant library space into an op-shop donating all profits to
the church.
Formerly the Hororata Library, the small room next to the Hororata Community Hall swapped books for
second-hand clothing, shoes, accessories, paintings and jewellery, becoming Carol’s Closet.
Walking into the store is like discovering Aladdin’s Cave, a space that looks small from the outside but is
larger than life on the inside with a range of hidden treasures and clothing, ranging from sizes eight to 24.
“I could almost count on one hand how many people leave without buying something, which to me, that
is amazing. There’s always something for everyone,” says store owner, Carol Gurney.
“I’ve always loved preloved clothing shops and so I thought why not!”
It became a community project with every clothing piece donated to the store,
then sorted and steam cleaned by Carol to make sure it is in good condition.
Carol receives donations from ladies who knit winter hats, blankets made by
the vicar and the most recent addition, a free library made out of an old fridge
painted by Hororata Primary School. In return she’s on hand when needed.
“Sometimes the café might say to me, ‘The Porsche Car Club is coming out’.
So I might ring the club and say, ‘Would you like me to open up the Closet for
you?’ And they go, ‘Yes, the ladies will love it!’ ”
The store runs on a volunteer basis, open three days a week, but even when
it’s closed, Carol says to give her a call and she will be there in two minutes.
Business survey under way
The Council is looking to take the pulse of the business community
in Selwyn to better understand the current situation, challenges and
opportunities businesses are experiencing.
The survey will help the Council in its planning for activities to support
the business community, such as topics and speakers for the Council’s
planned ‘Businesses After 5’ series.
It will also help the Council advocate for local opportunities, as well
as share quality information with agencies, including government and
funders, to better inform their planning and decisions.
The Council is intending to run the survey at regular points in the future
to build and present a long-term picture.
Businesses can fill out the survey at Selwyn.govt.nz/BusinessSurvey2020

A NURSE who grew up
in Leeston has received a
major healthcare award.
Cassie Scaife had a
smile a mile wide as she
absorbed the news that
she’d been named Ryman
Healthcare’s nurse of the
year.
It was no small achievement
– Christchurchbased
Ryman Healthcare
is New Zealand’s largest
retirement village operator
and employs 620 nurses at
36 villages in NZ and in
Australia.
Anthony Wilding Retirement
Village has been
a big part of life for the
registered nurse.
She first started at the
village as a 17-year-old
school student, working in
the laundry and then the
kitchen teams when it first
opened in 2007.
Scaife first trained as a
paramedic in Wellington
after leaving school, filling
in her time with shifts as
a caregiver at Rita Angus
Retirement Village while
she was studying.
It was while working as
an ambulance officer that
she attended an emergency
A GROUP of West Melton
School pupils have been
recognised for their recent
successes.
An award ceremony
was held at the school a
fortnight ago.
At the event, the school
cup champions for the
cross-country were given
out.
The recipients were
Ethan for the junior boys,
Eleanor for the junior girls,
Brooklyn for the senior
boys and Nikita for the
senior girls.
Brooklyn broke the
and realised that her destiny
lay in working as an
aged-care nurse.
“We went on a callout to
look after an older woman
who was in trouble. It was
when I was caring for her
that I realised that looking
after older people was what
I really wanted to do,” said
Scaife.
“I think my workmates
were surprised, but that’s
what I wanted to do.’’
She returned to Leeston
to begin a three-year
nursing course at CPIT
and later returned to
where it all started at
Anthony Wilding to work
as a registered nurse on the
afternoon team.
No one was more
delighted with her win
than her mum and sister,
who were on hand for her
awards night celebration
along with daughters
Phoebe, 5, and Hazel, 3.
“It’s an amazing place
and team to work with,’’
said Scaife.
“You never hear them
complain no matter what
is going on. They just get
on and put in the effort to
care for everyone and to do
school’s record for the year
8 boys.
Promotions and sports
co-ordinator Rita Spadoni
said Brooklyn, Eleanor and
Ethan also participated in
the Selwyn Central Zone
cross-country at Halswell
Quarry.
Brooklyn came in first
place for the year 8 boys,
Eleanor in second for the
year 6 girls and Ethan in
third for the year 5 boys.
They have all qualified
for the Canterbury
cross-country that was
expected to be held on
their best for them.’’
She was also grateful for
Jeannie Sales, Anthony
Wilding’s clinical manager,
and Sharon Armstrong,
village manager, for their
backing over the years.
Said Scaife: “Jeannie has
been a great mentor. She’s
always there and makes
time for those long conversations
you need about the
lessons you’re learning and
the problems that come up.
“She told me early on to
listen carefully and to ask
the right questions to guide
conversations, particularly
with families.
“It’s been great advice
and something I try to pass
on.
“Sharon’s always efficient
and supportive, no matter
what the problem is.’’
A number of residents
are retired farmers from
the Leeston area.
“I’ve grown up knowing
them and their families so
there’s a real community
feel to what we do,” she
said.
“Talking to them, seeing
that they are happy and
knowing their quirks is all
part of the job.’’
Pupils celebrate success
Wednesday last week but
has been postponed due to
Covid-19.
Also recognised at the
ceremony were Emily,
Ruby and Isabel who
came in first at the Interface
Primary Schools
Minecraft competition
in the year one to six
category.
They had to create an
eco-friendly world to go
with the theme of ‘build a
better future’.
They won a Meccano
personal robot for their
class.

Tiny sap-sucker only
lives on kōwhai
PSYLLIDS ARE small sapsucking
insects like aphids,
and are sometimes called
jumping lice.
They resemble miniature
cicadas and there are 4000
species worldwide.
One common New
Zealand endemic species is
the greater kōwhai psyllid
(Psylla apicalis) which is
1.65 to 2.0mm in length.
Kōwhai is the only host for
this species.
This psyllid can sometimes
reach pest proportions
between August and
December.
The species was thought
to be quite variable until
recently when two Lincoln
University scientists discovered
there were in fact
two similar looking species
living on kōwhai.
Dr Martoni and Dr Armstrong

curiosity using DNA

on kōwhai and in spite of its tiny size, can reach
pest proportions between August and December.

presence of a second kōwhai
psyllid species, which is
called Psylla frodobagginsi

Frodo Baggins) due to its

The hobbit kōwhai psyllid
is not only smaller (1.24-
1.56mm long) but is also
lighter in colour, and has
uniformly spotted wings

Hashing up a breakfast of champions
Corned beef/silverside
isn’t everyone’s cup
of tea and it’s often
a textural thing. But
leftover corned beef
makes for an amazing
fry-up the next day,
which crisps it up nicely.
In fact, forget leftovers,
these recipes are worth

EXPECTATIONS are a funny
thing.
Naturally, I try to avoid them
when I’m tasting, as they could
cloud one’s judgement and
impartiality.
I know the identity of the wines
in a tasting, but they are always
masked and in random order: this
is dubbed “single blind tasting”.
My regular tasting duo
of Collins and McLaren are
informed of the wine style and
vintage spread, but know neither
the identities nor order in which
they are served: this is “double
blind tasting”.
The average price of today’s
wines created an expectation of
class, which was borne out in the
glass.

Primary sector jobs for
kiwis gets a boost
A new campaign launched today will attract
people to vital food and fibre sector jobs, says
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor.
Mr O’Connor recently launched Opportunity
Grows Here – a website and marketing
campaign funded through Budget 2020 - to
attract 10,000 New Zealanders into food and
fibre jobs over four years.
“Our primary sector is a huge part of our
economy and our brand and it’s going to play
a big role in our economic recovery,” Damien
O’Connor said.
“It’s a sector that brings tens of billions of
dollars to the New Zealand economy every year
and accounts for nearly one in every seven jobs,
but more Kiwi workers are needed to support
its growth. We want to redeploy recently
unemployed Kiwis to help fill the gap.
“It can be hard to find information when you
are looking for a job and so we’ve built this site
to bring opportunities across the primary sector
together into the one place, making it easier for
employers and for job seekers.
“Many unemployed people are talented and
have skills that are readily transferrable. They
just need to know that these opportunities exist
– that’s what this campaign is all about.
“The research we did showed us that people
didn’t know about the range of job options in

It’s a world record – or is it?
Leeston arable farmer David Birkett has
unofficially smashed the world record
wheat yield by at least 1 tonne/ha. In
February he had claimed a yield of 16.7t/
ha from that season’s harvest, edging out
the current world record of 16.52t/ha.
Birkett says he has now received
confirmed weighbridge figures putting
his yield at 17.59t/ha – beating the
current world record by 1.07t/ha.
“I’ve got confirmation we’re well and
truly above the record,” he told Rural
News.
However, he still cannot claim the
official record because it was not
registered and monitored as an official
attempt.
“They changed the rule a couple of
years ago so now you have to advise
them of the paddock you’re going for
and who your advisors are and so forth,
prior to sowing the crop – which is a bit
ridiculous, to be honest, because at any
time you don’t know which paddock will
yield the best.”
Previously, all that was needed was that
the harvesting and weighing be attested
by, say, a Justice of the Peace, he says.
The current holder is Rodney Smith, of
Northumberland, Britain. New Zealand
growers held the two previous records.
“To get the world record back for NZ
would be a big job now,” says Birkett.
He has not registered anything for the
current season.
Birkett, chairman of the Foundation
for Arable Research, farms a thirdgeneration
family farm of 180ha. He
runs about a dozen crops on a five year
rotation, including wheat, barley, peas
and beans, clover and grass seeds for the
local market, and vegetable seeds mainly
for export.
His record-breaking crop of last season
was Oakley wheat, a feed variety, which
tends to be lower-protein but higher
yielding than milling varieties. Most of it
went as feed to local chicken farms.
Birkett says there was no secret to
the record-breaking crop, just good
management. “If you do the basics well
you’re 90% there.”
This season’s crop is “looking pretty
good,” he says, having just finished
tillering at growth stage 31-32. It was
sown in mid-April.
Birkett believes a long time in the
ground is important for high yields.
Wheat puts down long roots and seems
to enjoy dry conditions, but Birkett
says the continuing dry is now “pretty
worrying”.
He irrigates from wells and says Leeston
is lucky to have a high water table.
However, the groundwater level is now
very low for this time of year.
“We’d normally be about 1.5m coming
out of winter and we’re currently at 3.5m.
We got down to 5m this year, which is the
lowest we’ve ever seen.”

Gardening
Herbs like a place in the sun Limited for space?
Grow in containers
ALL THE promise of spring is
out there in the herb garden.
It’s a good idea to plant herbs
close to the kitchen — the
further away they are, the less
likely you are to pick them,
especially in rainy weather.
Most of the cooking herbs like
a place in the sun, though mint
will grow in a damp shady spot.
If you don’t have much space,
stick to those herbs you know
you’ll use in cooking.
Consider growing them in
pots, or plant herbs in the
flower garden — most are quite
decorative.
Fresh coriander is an
important ingredient in many
Thai and Indian dishes and
now’s the time for planting the
seeds of this annual herb.
Coriander plants are taprooted
and don’t transplant well,
so sow seeds where you want
the plants to grow and thin out
when necessary.
The seeds are slow to
germinate, so don’t give up on
them too soon.
Some varieties of chives
die down in the winter, while
others stay green the whole year
through.
If rust is a problem,
cut the clumps back and wait
for fresh rust-free growth. If
that doesn’t work, it may be best
FLAVOUR: Sow coriander where you want the plants to
grow and thin out.
to plant some new bulbs in a
different spot.
Clumps need to be divided
and replanted every few years
in any case or the chives get
overcrowded and loose their
vigour.
Garlic chives have a stronger
flavour than regular chives and
the flowers are white and starry
rather than pom-pom shaped.
The plants grow more slowly
and the leaves
stand up to cooking a bit better.
Parsley comes in two forms –
the curly-leaved variety and flat
or broad-leaved parsley, often
known as Italian parsley.
The latter is currently more
trendy but at a pinch you can
usually substitute one for the
other.
SIMPLE, uncluttered garden
design is especially appropriate
when space is limited.
Whether you want a serene
look or something dramatic, you
can achieve it by mass planting
just a few carefully chosen
plant species, each with strong
features.
Flowers are not essential (year
round good looks and healthy
foliage are more important), but
as seasonal highlights they can
make the garden all the more
interesting.
Mass planting by itself can be
dull. Break up the monotony by
choosing an accent plant that
can be repeated throughout the
design. Planting in pots adds
extra zing and makes it easy to
change or relocate your accent
plants when you feel like a new
look, or a change between seasons.
As well as accents, every garden
needs a strong focal point.
Often a sculpture, this could also
be a piece of furniture or garden
architecture, a water feature,
or just one stunning plant in a
spectacular pot.
Container gardening is a great
way to enjoy getting your hands
dirty. The trend is towards sim-
CONTAINERS: Big pots and
less of them is best
plicity – bigger pots and less of
them.
Classy containers deserve
classy plants, and those that last
the distance. For pots in prime
positions choose plants with a
strong well-defined shape, preferably
symmetrical so that they
look good from all angles.
When we plant whole groups
of a few carefully chosen varieties,
the effect is bold and deliberate,
bringing strength and
character to the garden.
But not all plants are suitable
for mass planting. Anything
with a downtime is going to be
a blot on your landscape for a
large part of the year. So the first
priority is to choose a plant that
looks great for at least most of
the year.

Extending the life
of your spouting
Birds nesting in your home’s spouting
is not only be a noise issue but the eggs
and young chicks can also attract vermin
which can then get inside roof cavities and
chew through wiring creating a fire hazard
within your home.
Gumleaf Gutter Guard is an effective
way of preventing birds from making
nests in the spouting and soiling walls and
windows with their droppings. The guards
can also protect tank water from being
contaminated, ensuring the safety and
quality of the water supply.
Another key advantage of Gumleaf
Gutter Guard is that it prevents leaf litter
from gathering in the spouting.
“Leaf litter remains damp and acidic
and that wrecks the spouting,” says owner
Rohan.
“By having Gumleaf Gutter Guard
installed, the life of the spouting is
extended to the life of the roof.”
Snow can also damage spouting, and
again Gumleaf Gutter Guard will protect
the spouting by spreading the load, Rohan
says.
Developed in Australia more than 20
years ago, Gumleaf Gutter Guard has been
providing a quality and effective solution
in New Zealand for the last decade, Rohan
says. Much of his work comes from repeat
business, with customers happy with both
the product quality and the service he
provides.
Customers requesting a quote will
receive it within 24 hours, and Rohan says
he will “go anywhere to provide a quote”.
He is also available Monday to Saturday
to speak to customers who call him.
“Even if I am working on a job, I will
talk to anyone who calls me,” he says.
Once a quote is accepted, the job is
started within 10 days, with installation
on an average sized house taking one to
two days. Rohan also does any necessary
minor repair jobs on the roof at the same
time.
To discuss your requirements with

Spring cleaning
ingrained in our
cultures
Spring cleaning has cultural and
religious roots and also ties back to
keeping winter houses warm with fires
and kerosene which filled houses with
soot and grime.
According to the SpareFoot blog spring
cleaning is a hallmark of Jewish, Iranian
and Chinese cultures.
In ancient Jewish tradition, they would
clean their home to prepare for Passover,
in part to remove any bread that wasn’t
unleavened. That’s because the Jewish
slaves in Egypt survived by eating only
unleavened bread, so having any yeastmade
bread in the house during Passover
isn’t allowed. By thoroughly cleaning
the entire house, including all crumbs,
they could be ensured no non-Kosher
remnants remained.
Spring cleaning is also ritual part of
some Christian faiths as well. Members of
the Greek Orthodox Church for example
typically clean on the first day of lent,
which they call Clean Monday. Catholic
churches conduct a through cleaning of
their altars on the day before Good Friday.
In the Iranian culture, the Persian new
year, known as Nowruz, falls on the first
day of spring and includes a ritual known
as “khooneh takouni” which means
“shaking the house,” entailing a thorough
house clean.
Chinese New Year preparations
incorporate a spring housecleaning called
Little New Year or Xiaonian, designed
to symbolically rid their home of any
negativity and any lingering spirits.
In the United States, spring cleaning
was important in frontier homes to
remove the accumulation of soot from
winter fires that built up on poor quality
window glass and needed to be cleaned so
you could see out the windows.
In addition most log homes in Texas
and parts of the southern United States
were “chinked” for the winter, which
entailed filling the spaces between logs
with mud. As summer approached, the
chinking was removed to allow air to
circulate, a modern-day “screen” of sorts.
Housekeepers would finish the
process by disinfecting and refreshing
their homes with vinegar and herbs,
which are great choices still today as
natural alternatives to harsh household
disinfectants. Another reason to wait
until spring is because it was finally warm
enough to open windows and doors to let
the place air out.
Even these days we still feel that pull
to throw open our windows and remove
all the long-settled dust and dirt from
our home environments. Happy spring
cleaning for 2020.

Beautiful lawns make
difference to how your
home looks
A beautiful new lawn can really set off
your home and makes a huge difference to
how it looks.
Canterbury Lawns are specialists in
great looking lawns whether it is an
instant roll-out lawn or hydroseeding.
Their roll-out lawns use top quality
products and are locally sourced.
Hydroseeding is a cost effective option
and can still be applied during the cooler
months but may take longer to germinate
depending on the location and how
much sun the area gets, and of course, the
weather. Spring is the perfect time of year
to get your new lawn for summer!
Hydroseeding is a spray-on application
of water, grass seed, wood fibre mulch,
fertiliser and tackifier (a glue which holds
the mix to the surface it is sprayed on).
This method gives the best chance for
the seeds to germinate and become your
beautiful green and luscious lawn.
Canterbury Lawns owners Zac and
Ashley Swale live locally and can give the
best advice on growing the perfect lawn.
Watering is key and Zac recommends
having an automated irrigation system
installed to make the job easier, more

Busy nursery at
your door step
Southern Woods Nursery is busier
than ever, having recently experienced a
surge in customer business, partly due to
the underpass now being open and the
lockdown.
“We believe that during lockdown when
everyone was at home they had the time
to think about what they wanted to do
with their outdoor areas. And how to live
more self sufficiently,” says marketing
manager Rico Mannall.
Fruit trees, in particular, have been
popular with a huge range of Southern
Woods to select from their huge range
of ripening fruit trees including apples,
pears, feijoas, berry fruit and apricots.
Heading towards the warmer
months there is also a great selection of
ornamentals and natives which can add
some height and structure to the garden.
The purpose-built retail store has been
specifically designed with the customer
in mind making it easy to find hedging,
natives, deciduous trees, bushes, grasses,
spots of colour or ground cover.
Most of them are grown on site and
looked after by the team of 40 dedicated
staff who are on hand to help, are happy
to provide free advice based on their
many years in the business and knowledge
of which plants to suit your property’s
location, soil type and aspect.
If you are unsure exactly what you are
looking for a landscape architect and
designer are also on-site to make your
selection even easier. Another option is to
take in your plans and they can help with
deciding on which plants to use.
Along with the plants, there is also
a selection of premium tools, planting
accessories and disease control products.
“Our tools are top quality and come
from Japan and Germany so they will last
a long time,” says Rico.
Customers can check the Southern
Woods website, www.southernwoods.
co.nz, before heading out, or give the
friendly team a call on 0800 800 352. They
can also arrange delivery New Zealand
wide.

Vibrant Veloster joins long line of coupes
I KNOW LIFE often means
disappointments but it will take
me a bit of time to get over missing
out on a drive of Hyundai’s new i30
N fastback – a high-performance
car based around its hot-hatch
stablemate.
See, the turbocharged 2-litre
manual was a casualty of the
coronavirus level 4 lockdown, I was
due to have it within that period
but it has since been seconded to
duties in other parts of the country.
That aside, the other Hyundai
models I was scheduled into have
arrived, and a week with the latest
generation Hyundai Veloster
almost made up for not stepping
into the i30 N.
The Veloster has been around
since 2012, and has just undergone
a major transformation. Saying
that, the one element that makes
the Veloster stand out from the
crowd hasn’t been changed. What
appears to be a traditional twodoor
coupe is actually a three-door.
Yes, there are two doors on the
passenger side and just one on the
driver’s side.
The concept was first introduced
with safety in mind, the rationale
being that when children are seated
in the rear they can only exit from
the footpath side of the vehicle,
egress to the road is denied. Bear in
mind, too, that the Veloster is only
a four-seater.
Some might say the design of
the Veloster is outlandish, I’d say
it is bold yet trendy, it is fresh and
with an aggressive body and with
vivid colours to choose from,
the Veloster certainly makes a
statement. The evaluation car was
finished in a matte gun metal grey,
it drew a lot of attention during the
time it was in my care.
The Veloster arrives with two
engine options – a 2-litre naturally
aspirated unit that develops
110kW. Or else there is a 1.6-litre
turbocharged option – the 150kW
engine that powers several other
Hyundai and Kia models.
The evaluation car was the
latter, and it is an engine I’m quite
familiar with, it is no outright
powerhouse like the engine in the
i30 N, but it is a feisty little unit and
stands out for its honesty and fussfree
behaviour. Although it must
be said there is genuine exhaust
sound, there’s a constant throb
under load and an enticing crackle
between gears.
When the Veloster first
appeared, it was Hyundai’s first
full-production vehicle with a
dual clutch gearbox; that type of
transmission is still used, although
it now gets seven gears that can
be manipulated through steering
wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
In terms of driving, DCT units
can be treated much like a normal
STYLISH: The Hyundai Veloster is characterised by a short,
squat rear quarter.
HYUNDAI VELOSTER: Bold wheels add to its aggressive looks.
automatic transmission, the big
difference is that in itself it works
like a manual but without a manual
clutch and, of course, there’s no
power-robbing characteristics
of traditional torque converter
system.
The result is a quick shifting unit
that doesn’t load the engine, power
is clean, and with a strong torque
figure (265Nm) and available low,
and all of the way between 1500
to 4500rpm, the Veloster turbo is
a quick-reacting car which is no
slouch against the stopwatch.
It will lunge to 100km/h in
7.5sec, which will satisfy those
who are happy with moderate
performance, but for me the
big surprise is the mid-speed
performance, it will scorch through
a highway overtake (80-120km/h)
in 4.2sec, made possible through
solid turbo boost and quickshifting
ratios which are ideal
for the wide cross-section of our
driving styles and journeys.
On the subject of figures,
the Veloster turbo is rated by
Hyundai with a 7.1-litre per
100km combined cycle fuel usage
average. At 100km/h I recorded an
instantaneous readout of 5l/100km
with the engine working over freely
at 2000rpm.
I guess if you explore the
turbo boost frequently it will be
hard to match Hyundai’s claim,
• Price – Hyundai Veloster,
$52,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4250mm; width,
1800mm; height, 1409mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1591cc, 150kW,
265Nm, seven-speed dual
clutch automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.5sec
• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km
and with just a 50-litre fuel tank
you need to be mindful fill-ups
may come around quicker than
expected.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the
power and strength of that wee
engine, it is delightful and provides
the fun factor when you feel the
need for a quick burst, taking into
account that several drive modes
allow the driver to choose how the
car behaves, from economical to
sport.
In terms of handling, the
Veloster feels sharp up front with
definite turn-in. Sport specification
Michelin tyres (225/40 x 18in)
have high-grip properties and
combined with a fully independent
suspension the car feels well
attached to the road.
Ride quality isn’t jeopardised by
a definite firming of the dampers
and springs and at just 1.4m tall
gravitational movement in a corner
needn’t be considered.
The Veloster turbo is only
available in one fully-specced
level – Limited. It is loaded with
goodies such as full leather, heated
and cooled seats, heated steering
wheel, head-up display, satellite
navigation, keyless entry and
ignition, and all the other bells and
whistles that make up Hyundai’s
top level trim spec. It also gets a full
safety suite of technologies.
Hyundai has had a long
history of producing two-door
coupes, even though you could
argue the Veloster is essentially a
three-door. When I first started
writing about cars in 1988, one of
the first I drove was the Scoupe,
Hyundai’s first sporty car, that
transformed into what Hyundai
called simply Coupe around 1996,
the Tiburon followed, then in 2012
the Veloster first landed in New
Zealand.
That history has served
Hyundai well, the Veloster is a
beautifully-made car and one
which is both fun and exciting. It
dares to be different with its styling,
but that is part of its appeal, if you
want to stand out in a crowd, at
$52,990 ($45,990 non-turbo), it’s a
relatively affordable way to make a
statement.

SELWYN TIMES
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 means you have choice.
Whether you gift your chosen charity, leave
a legacy to your grandchildren through
contributing to their education or first
home, the choice is in your hands.
Life is for living
For those who have already made the move
to Woodcroft Estate – you’ll meet likeminded
people who are living life to the
full. 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.
You will find
Woodcroft Estate
at 34 Kendon Drive in
Rolleston’s Levi Park.

Currently utilised as a spacious family home with a

four living room home.
With vistas to the stunning gardens, the main section of
the house consists of a formal lounge, open plan dining
with modern kitchen & a master bedroom boasting
ensuite plus WIR. Offering the perfect retreat for the kids,
are the two double bedrooms with their own living space.
Extended family can be easily accommodated thanks to
the fully self-contained wing comprising of a generous
open plan living & dining area with an easy flow to
two private patios (one covered), kitchen, two double
bedrooms & bathroom with laundry. A stunning sweeping
driveway leads to ample off-street parking, double
garaging plus a large 2-bay shed with attached workshop.
The vendors decision to downsize presents a superb

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Be inspired
A showhome to stimulate your creative juices was
recently opened by Build7 at Flemington. Not just
another home, if you’re looking to build, this is a
must see.
At 235sqm, this four bedroom home is spacious
and modern with a comfortable feel. The exterior
cladding seamlessly blends into the entryway, where
a skylight provides natural light.
The living area has plenty of natural light too. Here
triple and double stackers lead out to a large deck
and garden and a cathedral ceiling adds a sense of
grandeur. A sunny and light yet intimate lounge
leads off from the dining space.
With plenty of bench space, a walk-in pantry and
quality appliances (including two ovens and space
for a large refrigerator), the kitchen will please
those who love to cook or entertain. Its u-shaped
configuration and ample cabinetry ensure there is a
space for everything. Vinyl planking in the kitchen,
dining and living area add to the practicality.
The feeling of spaciousness is enhanced with
a 2.55 metre stud height throughout the home.
Thought has also gone into the bedroom layout.
“We positioned the master bedroom to be a
retreat,” explains Jamie Cowan who with his wife
Francesca, own Build7 Christchurch.
The master bedroom is indeed a haven. In
addition to a walk-in robe, it has additional built in
shelving and full length mirror in its entryway, as
well as an ensuite and sliders out to the deck.
Both the main bathroom and the ensuite have
fully tiled floors. The shower in the ensuite has
tiled walls and floor, a hanging vanity and a toilet.
The main bathroom has shower, bath and hanging
vanity, while the separate toilet has its own small
vanity.
Consideration has gone into the home’s design
and features. There are details like a built-in seat
conveniently placed in the passageway by the garage
so there is somewhere to take the boots off. There is
good storage with generous cabinetry in the kitchen,
attic storage trusses in the garage, and a linen
cupboard close to the separate laundry. Plenty of
windows and skylights ensure lots of natural light.
The home’s in-vogue colour scheme will also be
of interest to many viewers. The external cladding
is Midland Subiaco brick offset with metal feature
cladding which matches the long-run Colorsteel
Flaxpod roofing.
Constructed to Build7’s lifestyle specification, the
showhome reflects middle to higher quality features
and fittings.
Build7’s new Flemington
showhome is located at 29 Craig
Thompson Drive in Lincoln. To view,
call Tony on 027 858 8489.
