Property
market
surges
By SHELLEY TOPP
Waimakariri’s bustling
housing market since the
Covid19 level 4lockdown
produced arecord median
house price of $515,000 in
August.
Bayleys Rangiora manager
Ross Ditmer says the record
median price in the district
reflects the shortage of
listings, the increase in the
number of properties sold for
more than $1 million, and the
high number of people keen to
buy turning up at open homes.
‘‘It is areally buoyant
market, but the shortage of
listings is the key point. People
are fighting over properties.’’
The record price was
included in sales figures
released by the Real Estate
Institute of New Zealand
(Reinz) last week, which show
a13per cent increase in
median house prices in
Canterbury (from $440,000 last
year to $497,000 this year) and
a16.4 per cent increase in
median house prices
nationwide last month.
The median house price is
the sale price in the middle of
alist of property sales ranked
from the highest price to the
lowest price during aset
period.
The housing market’s
recovery during the last few
months after lockdown has
surpassed many predictions.
Big numbers are being
reported at open homes, and
some buyers are receiving
multiple offers, at times well
above asking price.
Reinz chief executive Bindi
Norwell said in recent weeks
the organisation had heard
reports around the country
of vendors achieving good
prices for the sale of their
homes.
‘‘But we would never have
guessed that eight regions and
17 districts/cities across the
country would see record
median prices just four
months after the entire
country was in lockdown.
‘‘The combination of low
interest rates, the removal of
loantovalue ratios, the lack of
listings, people’s aspiration to
have more space/a bigger
backyard, acatchup post
lockdown, and firsttime
buyers’ desire to get into the
market, have all contributed to
the uplift in prices we have
seen during the last few
months.
‘‘Unless we see more listings
come to the market before
Christmas, we may start to see
additional pressure on house
prices and affordability,’’ she
says.

Covid curtails eventscalendar
By ROBYN BRISTOW
NorthCanterbury events
continuetobeextinguishedor
curtailed amid the uncertainty
of Covid19.
The Waiau Fireworks
display in November is the
latest casualty.
The muchanticipated
community eventhas been
snuffed out because of the
financial riskthat could leave
the organising committee in a
perilousstate if it had to be
cancelledatthe last minute
due to Covid19.
The decision follows several
meetings and long discussions
for the committee that works
through the yeartoraise funds
and organise the fireworks
extravaganza.
Meanwhile, the bounce has
beentaken out of theKaikoura
Hop afterthe Government’s
announcement on Monday that
level 2willremain until at least
Monday in areas outside
Auckland.
But the Hopisstill going
ahead as plannedin‘‘level 2
style’’ over the next few days,
until Sunday, September 20.
The organisers saythey are
disappointed but not
surprised. They intend to cater
for all those on their way, in
town already and ready to
party.Therewill still be an
opportunity for all registered
vehicles to join the level2style
event.
‘‘There will be no car show
on Saturday at the Racecourse,
no Rock and Roll dance on
Saturday night, and no
burnouts on Sunday. No mass
gatherings,’’ say the organisers.
But there willbeapopup
shop for all Hop merchandise
at the memorialhall on
Saturday, sponsors’ stallsand a
few cool markets.
As seen by the weekend
cancellationofthe Whale Run,
people stillwant to visit
Kaikoura, so manyvisitors are
still expectedtovisit the town,
alongwith some fabulous
vehicles.
Meanwhile, Rock‘n’Wheels
organisers in Amberleyare
forging on withplansfor its
event, whichwas postponed
from Father’s Day.Itisnow
scheduledfor September 27 in
the Amberley Domain.

The Rangiora High School 1st
XV rugby team has made it into
the top four of the UC
Championship, and will play
Christchurch Boys’ High School
(CBHS) in the semifinal on
Saturday.
Awin over the Lincoln
Combined 1st XV last Saturday
by 707 propelled Rangiora into
fourth, while CBHS topped the
standings.
Rangiora will be keen to have
achance to reverse the result
from its match against CBHS a
fortnight ago. Adraw, or victory,
slipped from Rangiora’s grasp in
the dying seconds.
Coach Craig Mullan says the
side displays good values and a
level of determination which
makes the team easy to coach.
The semifinal will be played
at CBHS without spectators.

Expansion under way ... Rangiora’s McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega is expanding its store.

Expansion has eye to future
Rangiora’s McAlpines Mitre 10
Mega is expanding its premises
to futureproof the business for
anticipated population growth
in North Canterbury.
The locally owned and run
home improvement, hardware,
and garden centre store in
Southbrook Road has been
trading in North Canterbury for
45 years.
The business is apopular
retailer and abig supporter of
the community, sponsoring
many causes. It is also one of
North Canterbury’s biggest
employers.
Plans for the extension began
in 2017, chief executive Peter
Crighton says.
‘‘It was apparent that there
would be asignificant
population increase in the
district over the next 20 years
and it was considered that the
current store size, with
subsequent limitations on the
range that could be offered, had
little capacity to accommodate
for this future growth.
‘‘The new space will give us
the opportunity to better
showcase our products, provide
awider range of goods for our
customers, and an improved
shopping experience for them.
‘‘We are really excited about
the project.’’
The initial builders’ supply
store at Southbrook was built in
1970, with membership of Mitre
10 (NZ) Ltd undertaken in 1974.
The store has traded as aMitre
10 franchise since then.
An outdoor garden centre was
established in 1988, and adrivethrough
facility was added in
1993. During 200708, the
Southbrook Mitre 10 Mega was
developed to replace the Mitre
10 Home and Trade store (as it
was then known) and the new
facility opened in September
2008, with abig investment
made last year to roof part of
the garden centre.
The new extension will
provide 35 per cent more retail
space and 35 per cent more
space for the drivethrough
trade outlet. Covid19
restrictions have delayed
progress on the extension,
originally scheduled for
completion next month.
The trade section will open in
late October but the added
retail section is now scheduled
to open in February.
Clean-up help sought
Okuku’sFoothillsHoney

Jamesand Laura Malcolm,
are askingmembers of the

‘‘It is heartbreaking to see
our beautiful rivers that we all
love to enjoy being used this
way.’’
Last year, 800kg of rubbish,
including 33 tyres, was

alongthe riverbeds and
constantly see dumped
rubbish.
‘‘Forus, thisisour

Our streets need to be
safe for older people
By JOANNE GUMBRELL, chairwomanof the
WaimakaririAgefriendly Advisory Group
We allwalk along the streetsinour
towns. At our August Waimakariri Agefriendly
AdvisoryGroupmeeting, Mike
fromthe Policyand StrategyUnitatthe
Waimakariri DistrictCounciltalked to
us about street signage andbylaws.
He described thecare taken to get
thisright. Thereisinformation on the
council website.
We made comment aboutcourtesy
crossings, theones we see in various
places aroundour towns, witharaised
areaand sometimes aprotected
stopping place in themiddle of the
road.
The RoadCode says the only
crossings where driversmuststop for
pedestriansare zebra crossings. On
courtesy crossings, drivers haverightof
way.
We have written to the council
suggesting thatsignage be putonthe
footpath stating thatdrivers have right
of way.
We also appreciate that some drivers
do stop outofkindness, but it is not the
law.
The one at theroundaboutnear the
cornerofAshley andBlackett streetsin
Rangiora is one to look outfor.
Ihear comments about signsoutside
shops in ourtowns,too, as well as
stands of goods.
These add colour and cheerfulnessto
the streets, but arenot goodfor
pedestrians, particularlyfor people
who finditdifficulttoget around.
Twenty percent of peoplein
Waimakaririare agedover 65 and this
is predicted to increase.
Thatwill bringagreaterneed for
hazardfreepavements, with more
mobility scooters, walking frames and
sticks. Ourstreetsneed to be safefor
them.
The council is resisting the
introductionofescooters,for which I
breatheasighofrelief.
Did youknow thataswell as the
Covid19 tracing app on cellphones, the
council hasa“Snap,Send, Solve”one
which is useful if you comeacross
anythingyou would likethe council to
knowabout?
How to do thisisonthe council website.
Ilive in thecountryand canuse this
to let themknow aboutpotholes on the
road.

Littering is out of control
Dear Editor,
As an earlymorning cyclist around
the Rangiora district, Ican’t help but
notice the everincreasing deposits of
litter lining our streets, with cans,
bottles and fastfood wrappings and
containers.
Ithink we know alot of this is
thrown out from low slung, noisy
vehicles driven by antisocial braindead
hoods, but also some others.
My biggest concern is the lack of
pride by alarge proportion of
Rangiora residents, who simply don’t
notice, don’t want to notice, are shortsighted,
or just too plain lazy to pick
up litter deposited near or outside
their home.
Yesterday, Inoticed achap on High
Street line trimming his grass berm,
and finding atin can in the grass. He
slung it into the gutter to join the glass
bottle already there.
Ipick up alot of litter as Icycle, but
to assist home owners with failing
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
eyesight, Ioften deposit bottles and
cans near their letterbox. Don’t thank
me, I’m happy to do this.
The other disappointment is the
difficulty of some owners knowing
what is rubbish, and what is
recyclable.
From May to July, the Waimakariri
District Council had to send 200
truckloads of recycling to the dump,
costing ratepayers $122,700, because
homeowners were too darned lazy to
sort their waste correctly.
Best to be beware. The council may
be checking your bins to ensure you
are recycling correctly, or you may be
left with afull bin.
Please start taking pride in
Rangiora, and in particular, your area,
Yours,
John Carter

‘Iamanything but complacent’
PrimeMinisterJacindaArdern talks to Mike Houlahan
about her threeyears in office, and stressesthather
party willbefighting for every single vote.
On average, most governments
canexpecttodeal with one major
crisis aterm.
WhenJacinda Ardern became
primeminister three years ago,
one of her first challenges was
dealingwith the discoveryofthe
cattle disease Mycoplasma bovis.
Arollingmaul of disasters has
followed,from the March 15
terror attacktothe eruption of
Whakaari/White Island, and now
the ongoing battleagainstCovid
19.
‘‘You can’t reallyprepare for
thatrange of challenges, but in
someways you can,’’ she says.
‘‘One of the thingsthat we were
challenged on, priortohaving
these laterevents,was ourquite
aggressive focus on adheringto
the Budgetresponsibility rules
and getting our debtdown, and I
stand by that.
‘‘That has meantthat we have
beeninabetter position than
mosteconomies we compare
ourselves to goinginto the
pandemic, and it has given us the
abilitytomake sure we are
investing in people, looking after
their welfare and needs, and that
has put us in astrong position to
comeout the other sideafter the
rebuild.’’
As with everyelection,
economic management willbea
major point of debate,and in the
space of afew months Ms
Ardern’sGovernmenthas surged
LEADER INTERVIEW
from sound debtmanagement
principles to racking up
enormousloans to cover the cost
of the pandemic response.
Labour, likeall parties, will
likelyfind therepayment
requirements on thatdebt a
handbrakeonits spending
ambitions should it be in
government after the election.
Ms Ardernsaid Labour
believed in incrementalchange
and carriedthat slow but steady
philosophy overtodebt
repayment, so the deficit should
not be abarrier to secondterm
initiatives.
‘‘There is adifference between
us and the Opposition, whichis
that we are willing to bring debt
down overalongerperiod of
time, but through investmentin
training and education and job
creation, as opposedtosetting
debt targets that will mean
austerity measures.
‘‘Our debt repayment planwas
set out in the Budgetand
demonstrates thattakingitover a
longerperiodoftime,with
careful management,meansthat
you wouldn’t have that level of
cuts at all.’’
Ms Ardern and Finance
Minister Grant Robertson have
been at the forefront of the
Government’s response to the
Covid19 outbreak.
With soaring poll ratings,Ms
Ardern is able to run for reelection
as the frontrunner, but
she laughedwhen it was
suggested this was her election to
lose.
‘‘Iamanythingbut complacent.
‘‘Maybe Ihave been around
politics too long;maybeitisjust
in my nature, but Iamalways
inclined to anticipate what could
go wrong.
‘‘Noone predicted 2017 and I
have been around politics along
time: We should neverbe
complacentand we shouldwin
every single vote, not justright up
to the pollingdate but beyond.’’
From the moment apartyis
elected, the process of having to
maintain people’s support starts,
she says. ‘‘I think there is nothing
worse than politicians taking for
grantedthe support thatthey
have.’’

‘Ihave no problem making decisions’
National leader Judith Collinstalks
to Mike Houlahanabout takingthe
reinsofthe party, and how she
hopes to revive its flagging fortunes.
LEADER INTERVIEW
Judith Collins may be new to the hot seat,
but there is little to suggest she is not
firmly in charge.
‘‘I haveenjoyed it because Ihave no
problem making decisions,’’ she says.
‘‘Ultimately, what Iknow our team
needs to haveinthe National Party, is for
all MPs and staff to know what the
decision is, theyneed to knowthat it is
the bestdecision that can be madeatthat
time, and then theyneed to get on and
implement thatdecision —and that
makes it alot easier for people.
‘‘One of the strengths that Ibring, apart
fromsome years of experiencein
opposition and government, but also in
the private sector, is that Idotrust my
own decisionmaking ability and Ican
instil confidence in people because Ican
makedecisions.’’
At the beginning of 2020,National was
led by SimonBridges, who,despite
polling low in terms of personal
popularity, had kept the party vote at a
level where it was arealistic contender
in thisyear’selection.
However, Covid19 infected National’s
polling numbers, and aslump was
followed soon afterbyadumping of Mr
Bridges in favour of Todd Muller.
Ms Collins thentook over, with her
earliest policy announcements around
infrastructure —asubjectofintense
interest inthe SouthIsland.
She panned the government over its
‘‘shovelready’’ projectiniatitive.
‘‘They have failed to deliver on them.
Some of it has beenannounced, but a
whole lot of themhaven’tbeen.’’
Ms Collinsisequally dismissive of the
Government’s response to the
threatened closureofthe Tiwai Point
aluminium smelter.
‘‘So far we have seen nothingexcept
for something aboutaforced hydro
scheme which sounds mindbogglingly
expensive and would putupthe price of
power by quitealot.
‘‘We are very much thinkingabout the
people down there and the situation,but
we are also very aware thatyou cannot
The Widest Music Variety
be held hostage by abig international
firm.’’
Policy announcements have been
scarce so far fromMsCollins —noreal
surprise given herunexpectedascent to
the leadership and the earliness in the
election campaign.
However, she did say that the series of
positionpapers whichNational released
whileled by Mr Bridges were avaluable
pieceofwork —they had beenremoved
from the party website but have since
been reinstated.
‘‘Obviously policies need to change
because of changing circumstances, but
discussion documents are stillrelevant.
We’restillairing the issues.’’
One policyMsCollins is adamant about
is her stance on Covid19.
Judith Collins
... ‘‘Nobody
ever wonders
what Ithink, and
for some people
that is utterly
refreshing at the
moment.’’

‘‘Itisvery important that we havea
zerotolerance, and Ihave azero
tolerance towards Covid19,’’ she said.
‘‘But it is also important thatwhere we
can bring people in who should behere,
thatwecan quarantinethem and have
confidenceinthat quarantine process.’’
Through her extensive careerasa
senior MP and cabinet minister, Ms
Collins has revelled in her nononsense
approach —sometimes to her detriment.
‘‘Nobodyever wonders what Ithink,
and for somepeople that is utterly
refreshing at the moment.
‘‘They are sick of beingtold,
patronised, and treated like they are
children, and Iwon’t patronise themor
treat them likechildren —Iwill tell
themstraight up how things are.’’

Trace minerals need
to be bioavailable
If you haven’t done it already, now is the time to change to asuperior
form of trace minerals, writes Matt Cassineri.
Every year, Iaminvolved in discussions in which Iamasked: How can Iimprove
my herd’s health, fertility and or production figures?
Many farmers tend to stick with the same supplier, use the same solutions and
hope for better results. Others are tired
of swapping companies and achieving
the same or worse results.
So why is this?
The purpose of this article is to answer
this question.
It is all to do with the form of the trace
mineral.
Changing from one inorganic trace
mineral to another gains nothing.
Research has shown that inorganic
trace minerals, or sulphates, are
relatively poorly absorbed.
The diagram to the left shows the
mineral antagonists —that is, what
minerals interact with each other.
Potentially, 50 to 82% of inorganic
trace minerals can be excreted because
of the antagonistic effects of the
minerals.
Many years ago, trace minerals were
introduced into animal husbandry to
help avoid deficiencies, as the animals were unable to meet all their mineral
requirements from their diet.
Feeding trace minerals to only avoid disease is what is known today as
‘‘traditional’’ feeding.
Every year, as we invest in better
genetics, we see more efficient
animals performing much better.
This means their mineral
requirements change, so their
mineral programme also needs to
change to keep up.
Alltech’s Total Replacement
Technology (TRT) approach is to
feed minerals in the right form,
and to feed those trace elements
not only to minimise disease, but to
feed for performance.
Our unique, well proven,
organically bound minerals are
much more bioavailable and have
helped many clients throughout
the country improve results with
fertility and animal health in general.
In particular, pay attention to selenium (Se),
copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), as these have major roles
to play when we look at overall animal health and
fertility.
So, if you want to make adifference this season and
improve results, particularly as farmers head into peak
milk and mating season, please get in touch.

Shortfall ... Ashortage of veterinarians is creating concern in the industry.
Border ruleslead
to squeezeonvets
By SALLY RAE
Border restrictions are affectingthe
availability of veterinarians.
Already on the longterm skills
shortage list, there is apotential
shortfall of about 200 to 220.
The figureisthe resultofaquick
survey of New ZealandVeterinary
Association members that showed
companionanimal vets werethe
greatest need, followed by mixedpractice,
large animal and then equine,
the NewZealand Veterinary
Association’s chief veterinary officer,
HelenBeattie, says.
The association is working with the
Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)to
try to find asolutionand is waiting to
hear back from either MPI or the
Ministry of Business, Innovationand
Employment with the next steps, Dr
Beattie says.
Concerns are being heard‘‘right
across the profession’’.
Priorto‘‘highly specialist’’
veterinarians being added to
Immigration New Zealand’s website, on
the basis they might meetthe criteria for
shorttermcritical workers, Massey
University is concerned that the longterm
effectwill be significant if
specialist veterinarians are not
available to provide training.
In the professionitself, it is difficultto
prioritise the gaps and the veterinary
associationsuggeststhat howevermany
couldbenegotiated to comeinto New
Zealand, distributionneedstobebased
on the ratio of the shortages.
Dr Beattie saysthe effect of not having
thosevets is significant for those left in
the profession.
Stress and the human welfare impact
of the shortage wasaprimary concern
forassociation, and that was highlighted
in the survey.
Therewas also the animal welfare
aspect.
Vets are key consultantsinanimal
health and welfare, providingasupport
networktofarmers.
It is not just animal health they
discuss onfarm. They also provide
emotional help, she says.
The professionisalso apassive
biosecurity surveillancenetwork, with
food safetyacritical part of the country’s
primary industries.
Dr Beattie saysshe does not believe
anyone is beingpurposely obstructive;
the association understands the
implications of the global pandemic.
MPI had been helpful and the associationwouldcontinue
to work withit.

Agriculture Minister Damien
O’Connorhas been toldthe shortage is a
legitimate need,while the association
alsounderstands the Government is
faced with making decisions for other
industries.
Training programmes are available in
other areasofthe agricultural industry,
but that is not possible in the veterinary
profession.
‘‘It’s not easy to repurpose airline
pilots into veterinarians in less than five
years,’’ she says.
Federated Farmers employment
spokesman ChrisLewis says the
veterinary shortfall contributesto
growing issuesfor the agricultural
industry, from ashortage of experienced
dairy staff, agricultural contractors and
shearers —all industries that rely
heavily on labourfrom overseas.
Federated Farmers believes those
workers present no greaterrisk ‘‘than
any other party crossing the border’’,
providedcorrect procedures are
followed.
‘‘These workers are all highlyaware
that any breach of visa requirements
wouldend their employment and
jeopardise any futurechance of
employment in New Zealand,’’hesays.
Immigration New Zealand has
previously said it understands the effect
border restrictionsare having on some
sectors, and the bar for exemptionsisset
hightohelp contain the disease and
protect the healthofpeoplealready in
New Zealand.

ON NOW
The Covid19 pandemic has failed to
quellthe enthusiasm of WekaPass
Railway volunteers.
They are tacklinganambitious
building project to aid in the maintenance
of therailway’s rollingstock.
It is one of the most significant
undertakings of the Weka Pass Railway
in recent decades, and willculminate in
a52metrecarriage maintenance depot
and storage shed.
The shed, currently being built, will
make it easier to work on projects, as
well as providevaluable storage to
preserve the lovingly restored carriages.
The building will meanthe volunteer
carriage restoration teams will have a
specialised areainwhich to work.
It will also meanthe railway’s fleet of
50foot carriages,guards vansand
service wagons will be able to be worked
on separately,freeing up space in the
main workshop, which is better suited
for themechanicalengineering team.
Asmall woodshopinthe main
workshopwill also be able to be
replacedbyamachine shop and
workbench, increasing the productivity
of both volunteer groups, who work
‘‘together but separately’’toachievethe
society’scommon goals.
Matthew Morison,the railway’s
marketing manager,says at present the
capacity of the heritage train is capped
at 113 passengers, with threecarriages
in action.
‘‘Themore carriages we can restore,
the more peoplecan experience the joys
of aheritagetrain ride, and the more the
local economy will benefit,’’ he says.
‘‘When people think of the Weka Pass
Railway, theymay just thinkofour 1909
steam engine, or maybe our heritage
diesels. However, they may spend most
of their visit riding in our equally
important 1930s carriages.’’
The Weka PassRailway has set up a
Givealittle campaign to helpfitout the
shedwith awatersupply, drainage,
electrical supply, internal wiring,
lighting and fire detection.
Mr Morisonsays the soonerthe funds
can be raised for these vital parts of the
project, the sooneritcan be completed
—possibly in six to eight months.

Kaiapoi businesses have joined forcesto
turn their town intoadestination.
The Destination Kaiapoi Collective is an
initiativeofthe Kaiapoi Promotions
Association (KPA)and Kaiapoi businesses
to promotethe town as adestinationto
thoseinGreater Christchurchand beyond.
It was kickedoff by anew jingle
celebratingKaiapoiand its river, which
was commissionedbylocal developer
Jedd Pearce and is now beingplayed on
Christchurch radio stations.
KPA chairman MartinPinkhamsays the
collective signifies ‘‘anunprecedented
unityand strong branding theme’’ for
Kaiapoi.“Ithink the main thing is that it’s
just areallygreat example of how alocal
community like Kaiapoi bands together
and comes up with asolution that will
work for us.
“And the other thingisthat peoplehere
are reallyproudofour river,and the
concept of branding our town around the
riverseems to have struck arealchord
with people.’’
KPA business manager MartynCook
says the collective’s use of the jingleis
already underway on acasual basiswith

Carnival plans proceed
Kaiapoi is pressing ahead with plans
for its biggest ever Christmas carnival.
The Kaiapoi Promotions
Association plans to hold the Kaiapoi
Christmas Carnival and Santa Parade
on Saturday, December 5, subject to
the region’s Covid19 alert level status,
chairman Martin Pinkham says.
‘‘There is still some doubt that it can
be held. We would like to thank the
sponsors, suppliers, and participants
for continuing their support, and being
so flexible as we head to the major
event of the Kaiapoi social calendar.’’
Interest in the event has been
strong, with the Christchurch Santa
Parade having already been cancelled
because of Covid19, and with Kaiapoi
being first out of the blocks ahead of
New Brighton (December 12),
Rangiora (December 13) and Oxford
(December 20).

PROJECT BUSY
All Together Kaiapoiwas born out of the
town’s regeneration after the
earthquakes.
Createdin2013 as the You Me We Us
Kaiapoi Project, the initiative emerged
out of a‘‘community conversation cafe’’
to build unity as the town recoveredfrom
the quakes. Its focus has been on creating
community events.
Linda Dunbar has been with the
project since its inception, starting out as
amember of the Waimakariri District
Council’s community team and working
alongside Karen LindsayLees to get the
project off the ground.
After it obtained its own funding,
Linda left her council role to focuson
being the project coordinator.
Loyal volunteers and supportersover
the last seven years have includedChris
Greengrass, Brent and Shirley Cairns,
Jackie Watson, Kath Adamsand Sarah
Green, along with Christine Watton,who
was afounding member.
Events initiated by the project include
the Kaiapoi River Carnival, the Kaiapoi
Fun Run, the Kaiapoi Spring Festival
and Kaiapoi’s own‘‘Amazing Race’’.
The project changedits name to All
TogetherKaiapoi earlier this year.

Renovations ... Careful renovations can make homes and workplaces more comfortable,
and warmer.
PHOTO: SUPPLIED
It’sagreat time to
tackle renovations
Renovations are all about creating modern, comfortable spaces, says Kerry
Walsh, the Hurunui District Council’s team leader for building and property.
We have all spentmore time at home this
year, so home renovations may be on our
minds.
It’s about creating modern,
comfortable spaces that make our place
of work and home more comfortable.
The Hurunui District Council is also
carrying out many renovations and
improvements to its own buildings for
similar reasons.
Stronger, warmer, more modern and
uptodate facilities, with improved
accessibility, all make life easier.
Some examples of renovation
upgrades are:
Insulation
Addinginsulation to your home or
workplace enables heat generated
within the home (through wood burners,
heat pumps and so on), as well as that
collectedthrough solar gain (for
example, north facing windows) to stay
in the building for longer.Itwill ensure
amore constant temperaturewithout
fluctuations. Insulated buildings will
hold heat (or cool in summer) and will
not be affected by the weather as much.
Awellinsulated house on asunny day
with large northfacingwindows will
heat up during the day and not need
much, or any, heating in the evening.
Insulation can be in the form of wall,
ceiling and floor blanket or other solid
material,and this can be retrofitted
relativelyeasily, especially in the
ceiling and floor as these areas normally
have access space. Installing insulation
in the walls is alittle more difficult as
this can be done only if removing the

internal walllinings or exterior
cladding.
Blownin wall insulation can also be
chosen.One thing to remember is that a
building consentisrequired for
placement of insulation in the walls, but
not in aceiling or timber floor.
Another option is to insulate your
windows by double glazing or using
heavyweight drapes.
Doubleglazing is now fitted in most
modern homes and hasproven to be an
effective way of improving the comfort of
ahome. Windows can be replaced
without abuilding consent but should be
done by someone who knows how to
make the new windows weathertight.
Ventilation also plays akey part in a
warm home, including extractionofthe
cooking fumes or moist air from kitchens
and bathrooms.
The council is also upgrading many of
its social housing units for these
reasons, and to comply with Healthy
Homes standards. This has included
ceiling and floor insulation and
moisture barriers on the ground.
Accessibility
Renovating your building to make it
easier to enter, move around in, and
carry out normal activities is also of
great benefit.
This is not just aramp into the front
door or raising the ground level for more
level access. It’s also things such as tiled
showers with aflush walk in –these are
considerably better than ashower over
the bath, for example.

Older showers tendtobesmall, whereas
new showers are normally 1m by 1m or
larger.
Largerdoorways and corridors make
movement around the house easier. Even
changing the door hardware from knobs to
handles is an easy, effective upgrade.
Light switches accessible from thebed or
at the top or bottom of stairs add safety
benefits.Councilbuildings, including the
Waiau Hall and KowaiArchives, are going
through accessible toiletupgrades.
Structural upgrades
Most North Canterburyresidentsknow
the importance of havingastrong and safe
building, as they savelives and areuseable
after an earthquake or naturalhazard
event.
Many houses and commercial buildings
are not structurallysound as they are built
of materials such as unreinforced masonry
(the structuralframing is bricks).
Many privatecommercial building
ownersand councils are undertaking
strengthening at greatcost,sousers of
those buildings are safe. This ensures they
complywith the law, and fulfil
requirements fromtenants and insurers.
The council has two such projects under
way —the Kowai Archives and Waiau
Hall, and several otherbuildings that have
also beenrecently completed includethe
old Culverden Chambers buildingfacade.
Modernisation
Modernisation is oftenone of the main
drivers behind renovations.
This can include items suchasanew
kitchen, bathroom, open plan changes
(removingwalls) or creating moreoutdoor
flow.
Alot of this work is expensive but can
add realvalue to ahome or workplace,
both in monetary and user value.

bench tops, softclosedrawers, accessible
pantries, and built in items such as coffee
or icemakers.
LED lighting, smart plugs, electric car
chargers,internetoutlets etc all are in
demand in 2020.
Abuilding consent is not required for a
kitchen or bathroom renovation unless
you intendtoinstallatiled shower. Please
ensure you use asuitablyqualified person
to carry out the work.
The council is also modernisingsome of
its own buildings, including some planned
audiovisual facilitiesinhalls, generator
connections and systems so council
meetings can be viewed online.
Extra features
Manyolder homes and business
buildingshavefew features —just abasic
box withakitchen, lounge, bedrooms and
bathrooms. More and morepeople are
wantingmore than this; home theatre
rooms, aspa/sauna,swimming pools,
decks, largergarages and home
workshops/sheds.
Someofthesedon’teven require a
building consent.
For example, a30square metre
lightweight shed or garage can be built,as
longasitis at least its own height off the
boundary or residential building.
But dwelling extensions, swimming
pools, the removal of load bearing walls
and decksover 1.5 metres from the ground
do require consents.
The toolate renovation!
If water is dripping through the ceiling
or the doors won’t shut,the fireisnot
working,orthe internal gutters have
failed, then arenovation may be forcedon
you.
Thesesorts of eventsmay create
unexpected costs that could have been
avoided if regular maintenance or
checking was carriedout. In general, most
buildingsinNew Zealand are not well
maintained.
Buildings require maintenance and
critical areasneed to be checked
regularly: internal gutters, critical
flashings,flat roofs, chimney flues,
woodburnerfire boxes, upperlevel decks
and exposed critical structural junctions.
If you liveinaharsh environment such
as near the sea, environmental conditions
can cause deterioration more quickly.
If you havetreesorvegetation that
surrounds your property, you willalso
need to carry out more maintenance.
Maintenance in generaldoes not
require consentunlessthe elementhas
failed to lastfor the period it should have
—for example, aleakingwindow within 15
yearsofinstallation.
In summary,building renovationsare
needed, wanted and required. As time
goes by, more options become available.
If you haveany buildingrenovationrelated
questions, the building team at the
council will be willing to assist. Good luck
with your renovationsin2020.

whichhad a$4.3m budget, because of Covid
19, with only the necessary repairs and
upgrades now being completed.
Earlier thisyear,the council received
information which suggested parts of the
upperfloor was susceptible to quake damage
because of the typeofflooring used during the
1990sbuilding extension.
The project will be completed in fourstages.
Contractors started by making aminor repair
to strengthenthe council chamberssostaff
can use it as temporary office space.
This work wasidentifiedatthe beginning of
July during apreconstruction engineering
inspection and involvesinstallingabeam to
supportthe roof along the western wall.
The meshused in themezzanine floor was
not up to standard and the repair will involve
having the concrete floor strengthened, with
the application of acarbon fibre reinforced
polymeracross the whole surface.
This will performthe same functionasthe
mesh and help the floor maintain integrity
duringanearthquake. It willbring seismic
performance up to at least 67 percent of the
New BuildingStandard.
Other work includes an upgrade to the
heating and ventilation system,necessary
repairs, and new paint and carpet.
Several staffare being housed in leased
spaces. Two properties have been leased for
up to 12 monthsand one more permanently to
allow for planned growth.
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Abid to level the playing fieldfor
smallbuilding firms and give them
the power to get better deals on
building materials for theirclients
is coming to fruition.
The Combined Building
Suppliers (CBS) cooperative, born
out of frustration from losing jobsto
bigger players, has agrowing
membership of 350 firms and has
gone nationwide.
It was launched in Canterbury in
2018.One of the masterminds
behind the concept, CarlTaylor, a
locally basedowner of CarlTaylor
Homes, said the concept grewout
of constantlylosingprojects to the
‘‘bigger guys with betterbuying
power’’.
The small guy’sonly option was
labour costs, and when that
happened, there werenowinners,
Carl says.
It took several years of
negotiating red tape to become a
cooperative, but Carl, who is
chairman of CBS, is happy with the
benefitsfor its shareholders.
Supply partners can offer
members pricesthat, in many
cases, were previously available
only to the biggestplayers.
‘‘From generalmerchant
supplies, through to directdealson
plumbing,plasterboard, right
through to kitchen and other
appliances and fuel, we haveyour
residentialbuild covered.
‘‘We alsohave discounts available
on services —from equipment
hire to surveying, quantity
surveying, accounting and legal.’’
Each coop member is required
to buy 1000 shares for $1000.
It’sacost members should get
backquickly, he says.
‘‘This is aoneoff cost. CBS Coop
is selffundingthroughsupplier
rebates. Thismeans that you will
not have to pay ongoing annualfees
to get thebenefitofmembers.’’
Shareholders also receive a
profit distribution based on the
value of the business they do with
CBS suppliers.
‘‘Itisnot mandatory for coop
members to be exclusive to our
suppliersinordering materials,
but,inessence, the moreyou
support the suppliers, the greater
the benefits you willreceive.”
The savingsand rebate available
fromthe twoyearold cooperative
are as simple as they sound.
To remain amember, shareholders
musttransact at leastonce
withacoop suppliereach year.
CBS member transactionsrose
by morethan 200 percent in the
pastfinancial year.
Carlsays the coop is making
solid progress and is intent on
growing membership and
improving communicationwith
suppliers, while selectively adding
new nationwide suppliers in
categories such as waste disposal.
‘‘Wewill onlyput in place
agreementswith new suppliers
where we are confident much
better pricing will be achieved.The
faster we grow, the more likely
suppliers will be prepared to agree
to betterterms.’’

Council explores
management of
coastal hazards
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Coastal hazards are under the spotlight in the
Hurunui District.
Meetings will be held with six coastal
communities to exchange information and
views on hazards.
Council chief executive Hamish Dobbie says
it will be achance for the council to share what
it learned about coastal hazards and to ask the
communities what they know, what they want to
know, and the approach they would like to take.
“A plan for the future can then begin.”
Mr Dobbie says some information has been
put together with consultants to help explore
potential scenarios.
‘‘What is important now is to work closely with
our coastal communities to find out their
concerns, needs and wishes.”
The evening meetings for invited residents
will take place at Amberley Beach, Leithfeld
Beach, Gore Bay, Motunau, and Claverley Flat/
Conway Flat.
“There is no knowledge like local knowledge,
when it comes to working through this puzzle of
coastal hazards,” Mr Dobbie says.
He says there is no one solution, but it is
important to look at the options. “At the moment
we are engaging with our communities on our
shared knowledge of coastal hazards, so we can
work out what to do next. It’s really important
every voice is heard.”
The council has the legal responsibility to
manage risks from natural hazards. It says
community input is crucial and it will work at
the pace of those who live on the coast. “There
is no hurry for this. We are working on amultigenerational
plan. We want to do this once and
do it right.”
After initial meetings, there will be followup
conversations with coastal communities.

which trustee Sam SpencerBower says
will allow farm environmentplans to be
taken to the nextlevel.
The project will investigate and trial
environmental mitigation options through
a‘‘whole of farm’’ planningapproach.
‘‘Our current farm environmentplans
(FEPs)are mostlyabout reducing nitrate
leaching, but this will bring together all of
the aspectsthat we consider on adaytoday
basislike our staff wellbeing, animal
welfare, biosecurity and profitability,
along with futureconsiderations such as
greenhouse gases and biodiversity.
‘‘We’re trying to frontfoot the issues and
be proactive whilst ensuring farm viability
is at the centreofall thatwedo.’’
The project will be managedbyland and
water management consultants Water
Strategies, which supported the trust in
developing the projectand getting funding.
Environment Canterbury (ECan),
Waimakariri IrrigationLtd, DairyNZ and
Ballance AgriNutrients haveall signed up
to support the project.
The trustalso planstoworkwith the

years agotobring interested parties

Around120 local farming families are

Covid torpedoes the staging
of anniversary Selwyn show
Covid19 hasclaimedanother Canterbury
A&P show.
The Ellesmere A&P Association
committee has decided to cancel the 2020
Selwyn Spring Show, whichwouldhave
marked the association’s 150th
anniversary, because of the uncertainty
around Covid19.
It now plans to celebrate 150 years on
October 16, 2021.
“The association hadbeen really
positive duringthe more relaxed Covid19
levels that the show could carryon,’’
presidentAndrewBenny says.
‘‘However, with the second wave having
arrived and theextended level2
restriction period, it has now made
holding the 2020 show untenable.
‘‘Theupsideisweare really well
prepared for an even bettercelebration in
2021 –hopefully restrictionfree.”
The 150th year celebrations began with
the cuttingofananniversary cake by the
threepatronsatagathering of past
presidents in July.
The committeehad planned to holdan
anniversary dinner at the Leeston
Showgrounds in the week leading up to the
show.
This year’s show themewas ‘‘Our

Reflections on a
Covid-hit season
By LINDSAY KERR
Like all other sport in North Canterbury,
rugby did not escape the ugly reality of
Covid 19.
The season’s curtailment was not
without positive elements. It featured a
oneround premier competition that was
hailed by many as an outstanding success.
In recent seasons North Canterbury has
become accustomed to an amalgamated
competition with neighbours Ellesmere
and Mid Canterbury, before asingleround
local competition.
When agreement was made to combine,
the local senior competition was struggling
for numbers and teams.
To be invitedinto this new format was
perhaps arescue. However, since the
original combined competition began,
North Canterburyhas increased
representation to seven teams, with eight
in the local competition.
Perhaps the first Covid punishment this
season was the canning of the combined
competition. But was it?
When we came out of lockdown there
was time for aoneroundlocal
competition. Players were by this time
thirsting for competition —and what a
great competition it proved to be.
Yes, GlenmarkCheviotmaintained its
unbeaten record going back to May 2018,
but invariably all games were tight.
It is also notable that Ohoka, which
eventually finished seventh, held the
North Canterburyjuggernaut to adraw.
The future is now up for review by the
North Canterburysub union.

RUGBY
Does the new status quo remain, but
with two rounds and finals? Do we bring
back the combined competition or
combine with Ellesmere only, who, like
North Canterbury, form part of a
Canterbury Country sub unions
framework? Questions are also timely for
the CanterburyCountry representative
programme. For some time, this calendar
has become largely irrelevant and, in 2019,
it was nonexistent.
Added to this quandary is little
representation of country players in
Canterbury teams.
Such asituation has not been helped by
many of the better players being
approached by metro clubs. This has
created aculture in which players now
believe that if they want to be recognised
by Canterbury, they need to move into the
Metro competition.
Canterbury Country has along history of
providing many players for Canterbury
and All Blacks teams.
However, this is now along time ago.
Arecent announcement by the New
Zealand Rugby Union that it intends to
review the Heartland competition signals
apossible opportunity to solve the
Canterbury Country representative
programme.
This competition has become
unsustainable and, if regionalised in a
fashion similar to cricket’s Hawke Cup
competition, aCanterbury Country team
would fit nicely into any equation.

Te Wiki oTeReo Māori
Waimakariri Libraries have created avirtual
celebration this year to celebrate Te Wiki oTe
Reo Māori. Library and Council staff have worked
together behind the scenes to create something
special for the library website and social media.
Local schools who would normally perform in the
library have filmed their kapa haka groups, and have
shared these with the library to be featured on our
social media, with adifferent school being featured
each day during the week.
Storytimes, and Toddler Times sessions during the
week will feature picture book readings inTeReo
Māori, and staff will sing waiata especially for
pre-schoolers.
Natural Hazards Maps
The Waimakariri community are being invited to
view new models and maps showing the possible
extent of natural hazards onland in the Waimakariri
District –which have been updated to provide the
best possible information for landowners looking to
buy, build ordevelop.
Hazard information being updated includes:
• Flooding –from rainfall, coastal inundation and
stop bank breach
• Tsunami
• Liquefaction
• Fault lines.
The maps will be available from Friday 18
September onthe Council website at
waimakariri.govt.nz/letstalk
Development Planning Manager Trevor Ellis says
improving the accuracy of hazard maps isan
important bit of work due tochanged legislative
requirements around climate change, reducing
natural hazard risk, and ensuring preparedness and
response tonatural disasters.
Hazard maps are used when processing resource
consents, rezoning land, for project information
memoranda and building consents toensure
that the risk from natural hazards topeople and
buildings is assessed.
They are also referred to on land information
memorandum (LIMs) for buyers and sellers of
property. The maps will also inform new planning
provisions as part ofthe District Plan Review.
At this stage, the Council isstill deciding how
best torespond to the updated information, both
in terms of reviewing planning rules, as well as
considering how it will affect the community and its
assets into the future.
Community engagement on dra map information
was undertaken inSeptember 2019. Since then,
investigation, reporting and modelling has
occurred, and has now been finalised and
adopted by the Council.
The new information will improve understanding of
the risks within the Waimakariri District.
COASTAL WARNING

MONDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 1PM
Waimakariri Civil Defence will be testing the
district’s coastal warning system at 1pm on
Monday 28 September.

Report on suicide hailed as bold
By DAVID HILL
Anew reportaimedatreducing
suicide highlights the plight of
ruralcommunities,Waimakariri
MP Matt Doocey says.
The Zero SuicideAotearoa
report, funded by SouthernCross
and prepared for Parliament’s
crossparty Mental Health and
Addiction Wellbeing Group, was
released lastweek to coincide
with WorldSuicide Prevention
Day.
Mr Doocey, who chairs the
group, saysthe reportis‘‘a bold
report’’ which calls on all parties
in Parliament to work together to
reduce suicide.
‘‘Allsuicides are preventable in
New Zealand and by lookingat
longterm policysolutions we can
play our partinreducing
suicides.’’
The reportidentifiesseveralatrisk
groups, including Maori,
Pasifika, young people, workingage
men, men overage 85, the
rainbow community, and those on
farms.
Farmrelated suicides are of
particular interest to Mr Doocey,
with the report indicating farm
labourers are twice as likely as
farm owners to take their own
lives.
‘‘When you look at suicide in
ruralcommunities, there’s ahigh
prevalence of those people who
have not previously engagedwith
health services before, so we need
to make sure we invest heavily in
ruralsupport trustsand those who
work on the ground in rural
communities.’’
Lack of access to health
services, lack of fundingand
isolation, as well as relationship
breakups, alcohol and ready
access to firearms,were
identified as contributing factors.
The reportsuggested rural
suicide preventionefforts needed
to focus on suitably resourcing
community, farming and sports
organisations, as wellashealth
and socialservices.
Localmental healthadvocates
welcomed the report.
Rangiora mentalhealth
advocate Bryon Cope said the
reports pushes for ‘‘a more
collaborative approach’’tomental
health, but says any new strategy
‘‘needs to go beyond traditional
health responses’’.
Mental health services needto
be moreflexible to fit each
individual’s needs, rather than
what the funding model provides,
Mr Copesays.
Better resourcing in schools
and workplaces could prevent
many situationsreachingcrisis
point, he says.
‘‘People havetools thatthey use
to cope with every day ebbs and
flows, but whenthe situation
changes,they try to use those
same tools untilthey reach crisis
point.
‘‘Feeling like shit is anormal
reaction,sotelling peopleit’s OK
can makeabig difference.’’

Rams lose challenging final
Pair in fine form
INDOOR CRICKET
The North Canterbury Rams
stumbled at the last hurdle
when the side met Central
Sharks Silver in the Grand
Bgrade final of the Indoor
Cricket Canterbury
Superleague.
Silver was the only team to
beat the Rams in the roundrobin
—handing the side its
only loss leading to the
finals.
Silver won the toss and
sent the Rams into field.
The Rams made agreat
start, taking four wickets in
the first pair, restricting
them to just four runs.
Silver fought back with its
second pair to post ahuge
41. The side’s third and
fourth pairs chipped in with
decent partnerships to leave
the side with 82 on the
board.
There was some great
bowling by Brendon
Wellington, taking three
wickets for 1 runs, and Ian
King, who took two wickets
for 2 .
The Rams’ first pair of
Kyle Brown and Kane
Campbell posted only six
runs, with Silver taking four
wickets.
The experienced pair of
captain Jeff Jones and
Brendon Wellington were
up next, and lost only one
wicket, posting 29.
The Rams were still in the
game at this point, with
Lindon Adonis and Matt
Blackmore coming outtobat
in the third partnership.
Silver knuckled down and
took another four wickets,
three of which came off
captain Ant Brown’s over.
This left the final pair of
Aaron Turner and Ian King
areasonable chase of 39 off
their four overs.
Silver bowled atight line
and took another three
wickets, so despite some
hard hitting from Aaron and
Ian, the Rams were left 19
short on 63.
However, the side does get
to keep the Canterbury Club
Shield for the 2020 season.
The North Canterbury
Rams are now playing in a
Premier ‘‘best of the best’’
tournament on September
18 and 19, before attention is
turned to outdoor cricket.
Runners up ... The North
