‘Shovel ready’ roading package
denied Government funding
• By Devon Bolger
THE DISTRICT has missed
out on millions of dollars in
Government ‘shovel ready’
projects funding.
The district council’s application
was for a roading package
that would bring forward a range
of pavement renewals that had
been deferred as well as upgrade
125km of road in areas across the
district.
The works
spread across
the district
council’s
2500km maintained
roading
network and
includes works
Sam
Broughton
on both higher
volume arterial
roads close to
Christchurch
and those in the rural areas of
the Canterbury Plains serving
dairy and other primary production
activities.
Mayor Sam Broughton said the
decision was “very disappointing.”
District council asset manager
transportation Andrew Mazey
said the district council did not
receive a specific reason why the
proposal was rejected.
“We were told the value of the
•HAVE YOUR SAY: What are your
views on the council missing out on
Government ‘shovel ready’ funding.
Email matt.slaughter@starmedia.kiwi
submitted projects was much
greater than the funding available,
so some projects were not
able to be included,” he said.
The fund received 1924 submissions
across New Zealand
and funding was agreed for
about 150 projects.
The proposal the district
council submitted to Crown
Infrastructure Partners, which
is managing the funding, did
not include a specific number of
jobs the roading package would
create.

THAT’S A big blow on page
1 today – the Government’s
‘no’ to the district council’s
bid for $13.5 million of
‘shovel ready’ funding.
Given what is happening
with money being sloshed
around up north, I would
have thought Selwyn, one
of New Zealand’s fastest
growing districts, would have
secured a reasonable chunk
of ‘shovel ready’ money.
‘Shovel ready’ is about
getting the economic wheels
turning. Job creation is vital.
Selwyn’s application seems
a bit short on job creation
details but neither the council
or Government will say if
this was a factor.
Said Infrastructure
Minister Shane Jones: “Job
creation was one of a number
of criteria the applications
needed to meet and not the
sole consideration.”
But I suspect it was a big
consideration.

POLICE MAY have broken an
organised operation which has
been stealing utes and pick-ups
to on-sell or break down for
parts.
Senior Sergeant Stephen
McDaniel said some of these
were stolen
from the
district, others
were stolen in
Christchurch
and across
Canterbury.
Armed
police have
raided
properties in
Oxford and Rangiora in recent
weeks, the latest last week.
Eight stolen Toyota Hiluxs
and Land Cruisers have been
recovered. Police also found
firearms and cannabis at the
properties, and a stolen trailer.
As well as the Hiluxs and
Land Cruisers, police are also
focusing on a spate of Ford
Couriers which have been
targeted as part of Operation
360.
Nineteen Couriers, made
between 2000 and 2006, have
been stolen in Canterbury in the
past six months.
Senior Sergeant Stephen
McDaniel said three people
have been arrested and charged
with theft, cultivating cannabis
and processing firearms

offences.
More arrests are likely, he said.
Said McDaniel of the vehicles
recovered: “They’re being
rebirthed. So, legitimate plates
and numbers are being put on
them to enable them to be sold.
Others are used and stripped for
parts.”
BUSTED: Eight
stolen Toyota Land
Cruisers and Hiluxs
were recovered
during police raids
last month and
police are also
looking for stolen
Ford Couriers and
their parts.
He said there was a demand
for the vehicles and parts.
He said police were armed
when they carried out the
raids but were met with no
resistance.
McDaniel said the occupants
of the properties they searched
are not gang members.

‘We thought
we had a really
strong case’
• From page 1
“Our view at the time was that
this project would stimulate the
industry at a time of uncertainty,
retaining certainty for existing
contractor staff and adding new
hires where necessary, but the
exact number of new hires was not
possible to calculate,” said Mazey.
Infrastructure Minister Shane
Jones was a part of the decisionmaking
process.
“Job creation was one of a
number of criteria the applications
needed to meet and not the sole
consideration,” he said.
Said Broughton: “We worked really
hard and staff didn’t get their
Easter break to meet what was
asked for from the Government. It
wasn’t something that we entered
into lightly.”
Broughton said the council
shortened the list of projects down
to one they thought was the best
fit.
“We thought we had a really
strong case that was going to
provide jobs, be able to be implemented
immediately and help with
the response to Covid-19.”
As part of the Government’s
response to Covid-19, it asked the
public and private infrastructure
sector impacted by the pandemic
to submit ‘shovel ready’ projects
for funding consideration.

ELECTION 2020
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Selwyn candidates: Bios and views
Nicola
Grigg,
National –
Grew up on
a sheep and
beef farm in
Mt Somers,
went to school
in Christchurch
before
studying journalism at the New
Zealand Broadcasting School.
First job was in a shearing
shed. Since then has worked
as a journalist, communications
manager in big tourism
businesses, Parliamentary press
secretary to Simon Bridges
and Sir Bill English under the
last National-led government.
Prior to beginning full-time
campaigning, was working as
a portfolio manager at New
Zealand Trade and Enterprise,
responsible for the trade development
of a wide range of
Canterbury-based exporters,
primarily in the agricultural and
manufacturing sectors.
Wants to be the MP for Selwyn
because of “our ambitious, fastgrowing
region is facing challenges
that need an experienced,
capable representative to help
tackle.”
“Parliament needs more rural
representation - particularly
rural women. While my morals
and convictions are deeply
rooted in my rural upbringing, I
am also a socially-liberal, modern
urbanite - so I bring a broad
insight to a number of facets of
New Zealand society and community.”
Priorities for Selwyn:
• Support local businesses by
fighting hard for Governmentfunded
construction and infrastructure
projects such as the
rebuild and repair of a number
of our schools, as well as the
four-laning of SH1 from Rolleston
to Ashburton – a $1 billion
project that will keep approximately
2000 people in work.
•Fight for our local farmers
impacted by punitive regulations
and ensure legislation is backed
by science and best international
practice so these family businesses
can be supported to farm
their way to better environmental
outcomes.
• The preservation and
conservation of our natural environment.
I will work constructively
with local authorities and
community groups to support
projects and initiatives to help
mitigate the impacts of climate
change.
Three main characteristics an
MP needs to serve their constituents:
• Genuine in their desire to
serve people, to work with them
and for them to help solve their
problems, improve their lives,
and those of their families and
communities
• To have a relentless
commitment to the role, their
electorate and, above all, their
constituents.
• Be available and accessible to
their constituents.
Cannabis Legalisation and
Control Bill: I will be voting
against this referendum. It is
a poorly-thought out proposal
that does not go anywhere near
far enough to address the social
impacts of cannabis legalisation,
not least mental health. Not
only that but, unlike the End
of Life Choice, Flag and MMP
referendum, the Bill has not been
through Parliament or the scrutiny
of a Select Committee so the
public is being asked to vote on a
law that we don’t even know the
final details of. I’ve tried it once
as a student in my early 20s and
have never used it since.
End of Life Choice Act: Will
be voting for the End of Life
Choice Act 2019. The legislation
contains substantial safeguards.
This is a matter of freedom
of choice and I believe that
if, by offering a person with a
terminal illness the choice – thus
removing the terrible fear
many of us have of dying – then
that is the just and humane thing
to do.
Abe
O’Donnell,
Greens –
Finished
high school
last year and
is studying towards
a Bachelor
of Law
and Bachelor
of Arts, majoring in political science
and international relations,
minoring in nutrition at the University
of Canterbury.
Campaigning for the party
vote this election to help return
the Green Party to Government
so “we can reach an Aotearoa
where everyone thrives, the
climate is stable and nature is
protected.’’
Three priorities for Selwyn:
• Support farmers to transition
to organic plant production to
ensure jobs remain after the food
revolution.
• Embed civics education
in schools and make 16 the
minimum voting age to enhance
democracy.
• Initiate a food subsidy and
levy system so that fewer people
get food-related chronic diseases.
Three main characteristics
an MP needs to serve their
constituents:
• Fairness
• Transparency
• Accountability
Cannabis Legalisation and
Control Bill:
Voting yes. I have never used
cannabis. I don’t consume any
type of harmful drug and I plan
on never doing so.
End of Life Choice Act:
Voting yes. Everyone should be
free to choose and do whatever
they like as long as they are not
harming anyone else, are of an
appropriate age and are aware of
the consequences.

Wants to be MP for Selwyn
to make a difference as an independent
and support the recovery
from the impacts of Covid-19.
“As an independent candidate
I do not have to align with party
polices and I will work with all
parties, MPs and government for
the benefit of expanding Selwyn.”
Three priorities for Selwyn
are:
Health – Advocate for mental
health services to be provided
locally iand reduce the cost of
dental healthcare.
Education – Provide free
tertiary education for all Selwyn
residents young and old to retrain
our workforce for the post
Covid-19 world, which will also
support our tertiary sector.
Water – Improve the quality of
drinking water and clean up our
rivers by actively supporting local
farmers.
Three main characteristics
an MP needs to serve their constituents:
Open – Be honest, do not lie
and take personal responsibility
for mistakes
Considerate – Listen to constituents
and support their views
Objective – Achieving policy
aims effectively and on time
Cannabis Legalisation and
Control Bill: Likely to vote yes.
Legalising recreational cannabis
will be able to better control
the quality of supply. There needs
to be robust testing for driving
and industries that involve operating
machinery .
I last used cannabis in 1986
when taking my finals at university
and I passed with honours!
I do not currently use cannabis
medicinally or otherwise.
End of Life Choice Bill: Will
probably vote yes. My view is that
we should all have the choice to
die with dignity. I can confirm
that I will probably be voting yes
in this referendum.

“In the last two years I’ve campaigned
relentlessly for David
Seymour’s End of Life Choice
Act. This was underpinned
by an in-depth interview with
Newstalk ZB’s Chris Lynch
which I’m proud to say created
an explosion of interest in this
important issue.”
Three priorities for Selwyn
are:
Implement ACT’s five-point
costed plan for our economic
recovery, including tax cuts,
lowering debt and returning to
surplus sooner.
Repeal the Firearms Legislation
Act, including the threat of a
firearms “register” .
Support hard working rural
people, which includes replacing
the Resource Management Act.
Three main characteristics an
MP needs to serve their constituents:
Provide easy access and communication
for the Selwyn community.
Show the persistence and determination
already demonstrated
by David Seymour and Brooke
van Velden when they pushed
through the EOLC Act.
Make decisions based on ACT
Party principles of respecting the
freedoms and rights of the individual.
The freedom of speech so
hard fought by previous generations
should be protected at all
costs.
Cannabis Legalisation and
Control Bill: Likey to vote yes.
“Anything is better than the status
quo. Seizing gang assets and
reducing their income is a huge
benefit in the battle for a safe
country for our citizens.”
Yes, I have tried it. No, I’m not
a current user.
End of Life Choice Bill: The
EOLC offers people like me, who
live with terminal cancer, the
comfort of knowing that we can
choose a death with dignity, that
reflects the life we have led. That
choice should be afforded all NZers
who fit the strict criteria such
as being mentally competent and
within six months of death.

· Ensure our growth is supported

and smart planning.
Three main characteristics an
MP needs to serve their constituents:
· Hard working and committed.
· A strong advocate for the
region, its industries and issues.
· Available for you
Cannabis Legalisation and
Control Bill: The Bill’s main
purpose is to reduce cannabisrelated
harm to individuals,
families/whānau and communities.
I don’t think our current system
works. Voting yes will ensure
ELECTION 2020 5
that we can regulate the use of
marijuana to better manage
health impacts and minimise the
harm to our communities
I tried cannabis a long time
ago, I didn’t enjoy it and I don’t
use it.
End of Life Choice Act: I
believe that people who are suffering
from terminal illnesses
should have the option of a dignified
death on their own terms. I
will be supporting the End of Life
Choice Act.

ELECTION 2020
New Conservative’s Policies offer real
hope to New Zealanders from all walks
of life. With income splitting and the first
$20,000 housing tax free, investing in
housing, hospitals, and education. With
great strategies for economic recovery and
belief in New Zealanders who are very capable
at overcoming obstacles in life with
good old “can do” attitudes to life.
My three priorities for Selwyn are:
•Supporting Farmers- Water storage
•Rural Medical support including Mental
Health
•Supporting our Youth
Cannabis Legalisation and Control Bill
To me cannabis is having a devastating
affect on our youth and families – destroying
lives. It is a gateway drug that is way
more potent today than ever before. I will
be voting no
No I’ve never used it
End of Life Choice Act: Euthanasia is a
dangerous thing to bring into any society
and sends a very loud message to our
youth and others that if life gets tough –
you can opt out! life is expendable. Our
young people need hope and they need
to be valued and encouraged – I believe euthanasia
sends the wrong message.
I will vote no.

repealing the recently rushed through and
draconian laws against the reasonable use
of farmland and support Farmers in their
fight to survive in the current economic

Drugs a factor in Selwyn road deaths
• By Matt Slaughter
DRUGS HAVE been a factor
in eight road deaths in Selwyn
since 2017.
Latest figures obtained by the
Selwyn Times show of the 28
deaths on the district’s roads in
this time period, eight involved
drugs.
Constable
Daniel Ingram
has seen drug
driving lead
to road deaths
first hand.
He said Tai
Daniel Ingram
Tarulata Dixon,
a mother of
two from the
district, died when Daryl
John Price drove onto the
wrong side of the road and hit
her vehicle at the intersection
of Sandy Knolls Rd and
West Coast Rd, near West
Melton last year. He had
methamphetamine, cannabis
and alcohol in his system.
Price pleaded guilty to
manslaughter and will appear
for sentencing in November.
There have been 17 people
stopped by police and charged
with drug driving offences
in the district since 2017, an
average of 0.5 offences a
month.
Most people were caught in

followed by cannabis, stimulants
like methylphenidate and
MDMA, other drugs, and
sedatives.
Sergeant Harrison McLennan,
who is on the Canterbury
police’s impairment team, said
motorists who are suspected to
have drugs in their system are
taken back to police stations for
a Compulsory Impairment test.
During these, a light is shone
in their eyes, they are made to
stand on one leg and place one
foot in front of the other and
walk in a straight line. If they
fail two or all of these tests they
are required to take a blood test
to show if they are under the
influence of drugs.
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker
said in spite of the district’s
police focusing more on drug
driving in the last few years
and carrying out more tests on
motorists, alcohol continues
to be the biggest factor in road
deaths and crashes there.
“The majority of the ones that
I’ve seen since I’ve been in here
[Rolleston Police Station] since
November, the majority have
been alcohol-related.”
Selwyn Times reported last
week 312 people have been
charged with drink driving
offences in Selwyn in the last
three years.
It comes as the focus for
Canterbury police this month
is on clamping down on drink
drivers.

More than
66,000 people
live in distict
THE DISTRICT’S population has
topped 66,000 residents.
Statistics New Zealand has
released its latest revision of population
figures for different regions
using data from the 2018 census
and post census survey.
The new figures show the district’s
population was 66,300 as at
June 30, 2019, growing by 4.7 per
cent over the previous year.
Previous estimates had the
population at 65,600 but this has
increased by 700 following the latest
revision. The figures also show
that from 2013-19 the district
grew by an average of 6 per cent
a year, adding around 3,300 new
residents annually.
That confirms the district among
the fastest growing in the country
over that time, a little behind
Queenstown Lakes District which
grew by an average 7.1 per cent.
The district remains the third
largest territorial authority area
in the South Island by population,
behind Christchurch City
(387,700) and Dunedin City
(132,300).
Data from the census also
shows 11,910 people have come
from across the globe and settled
in Selwyn.
They make up 19.85 per cent
of the 59,979 people living in
the district who stated their
birthplace.

You’ve got a lot to gain
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.

Feral cat problem in Doyleston
• By Devon Bolger
FERAL CATS are becoming
a problem in Doyleston
and residents are calling for
something to be done.
Resident Kala Teale said the
number of feral cats she has seen
in the community is increasing
and she has counted more than
25 at one time.
She and others in Doyleston
say they appear to being “adopted”
by a resident. The cats were
having their own litters making
the problem worse.
Teale said she had approached
the resident.
“She is very reluctant to acknowledge
there is a problem. A
number of us had contacted the
SPCA and Cat Protection and
they were unable to assist,” she
said.
Teale has also complained to
the district council, which says it
is a SPCA matter.
She also said her cats have
been attacked by the feral ones.
“Our dog is quietly natured
and these cats have been caught
taking her food from her bowl.
We are now feeding our dog
inside.
“It’s very frustrating that we
are responsible cat owners and
we have no support from anyone
with our ongoing cat issue.”
Doyleston community committee
member Brian Hooper
said the issue with feral cats has
been ongoing for about five years.
“It seems to be primarily
coming from one property. It is
getting a little bit beyond a joke
now. Her heart is in the right
place, she wants to look after
the cats but you’ve got to control
them.”
He said the cats are causing
trouble in the community by entering
people’s homes and going
through rubbish bins.
“We’ve physically seen them,
they open the red bins and drag
the food out.”
The person who has been
accused of having the feral cats
refused to talk to the Selwyn
Times.
Teale and Hooper said they
would like to see the inclusion of
mandatory microchipping and
desexing of cats in the district
council’s new animal control
bylaw.
Provisions around cats were
not included in the draft bylaw
that went out for public consultation
on Monday.
District council regulatory
manager Billy Charlton said
they received a call about the feral
cat issue in Doyleston about
18 months ago.
“Animal welfare, including the
welfare of cats is the responsibility
of the SPCA and we refer all
questions around animal welfare
to them, which was what we did
in this case,” he said.

New motorway
signage
in pipeline
• By Devon Bolger
IMPROVEMENTS TO the
signage on the Weedons
overbridge near the Southern
Motorway will be made soon.
It comes after Weedons resident
Gary Doyle made a complaint
about health and safety about the
overbridge.
A New Zealand Transport
Agency spokeswoman said: “The
designs have been finalised with
modifications to the signage and
road marking in response to a
nearby landowner’s concerns.”
An order for the manufacture of
the signs was placed on September
11, the spokeswoman said.
“The Southern Motorway stage
2 team hope to get these signs in
place and work completed soon.”
Doyle told the Selwyn Times in
July that if you are travelling down
the overbridge towards Lincoln,
there is a roundabout sign that
shows a road going straight, and
one to the right.
What the sign does not show is
a section of Weedons Rd, where
Doyle lives, that connects to the
left of the roundabout.
“Anyone coming down to the
roundabout is not expecting to
have someone slowing right down,
virtually to a stop, to make a very
hard left-hand turn to get onto
that road,” he said.
Rolleston Drive/Dryden Avenue intersection works
From 9am Friday 9 October to 7pm Sunday 11 October one lane of Rolleston Drive will be closed from just south of Dryden Avenue to the
Norman Kirk Drive intersection as part of the work on the new Dryden Avenue, Rolleston Drive, Markham Way intersection. There will be a
reduced speed limit and stop/go controllers in place to manage the traffic around the work site.
Please consider using alternative routes such as using the Weedons Interchange, to avoid delays on this section of road. Thank you for
your patience while we carry out this work.

motorists to slow down near horses
• By Devon Bolger
RECKLESS drivers are making
it increasingly difficult for Judy
Nahkies to continue one of her
favourite past times, horse riding.
The Dunsandel resident
frequently rides around the
township with her 23-year-old
daughter Melissa.
But lately the pair are noticing
fewer and fewer drivers slowing
down as they go past.
“I have lived here for over 30
years and the roads are getting
increasingly busy. We’ve had
quite a few incidents where
people have just not slowed down
at all.”
About a month ago, there was a
particularly bad incident, Nahkies
said.
“A big stock and trailer unit
zoomed past us on a gravel road
and we weren’t in a position to
cross as he’d come around a bit
of a blind corner.
“We got swamped in a big dust
cloud. Fortunately my daugher
was quick enough to get off
her horse. My pony just totally
freaked out, she hit the fence, she
hit Melissa’s horse, somehow I
managed to stay onboard but it
was just really scary.”
Nahkies said she understands
that people think they should
not ride on the road but she has
been doing so for more than 30
years.
“I was really angry because
not only did the driver not slow
down but when he was beside
us, he planted his foot on the accelerator
and roared off.
“It just was an awful thing. I
couldn’t identify the truck. People
just do ridiculous things.”
Melissa has experienced people
deliberately doing skids on shingle
roads to spray up stones.
Her aim is to promote more
awareness for drivers on what
they should be doing around
horses, Nahkies said.
“I don’t think the behaviour
is malicious, I think its a lack of
awareness.
“Slow down, move as far across
the road as you possibly can and
allow space like you would if
someone was on a bike.”
District council transportation
asset delivery manager
Mark Chamberlain said roading
incidents, where drivers are not
taking care should be directed to
the police.
“We do receive requests on occasion,
usually to install warning
signs, and we have received two
requests in the past year.
“The warning signs are to
encourage drivers to slow down
and be aware of the hazard that
horses can pose to other road
users,” he said.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Family harm is a high priority for police
Area response manager
Senior Sergeant Dean
Harker talks about police
activity in the district
OVER THE last few months we
are starting to see an increase
in the reports of family harm
incidents.
This could be put down to
a number of things including
Covid pressures, financial
pressures, uncertainty around
employment.
Over the next few issues I
will be explaining family harm.
This will include, what is family
harm, what is family violence,
what is a police safety order,
what is a protection order.
Family harm is responsible for
about 17 per cent of priority calls
for police service and about 40
per cent of police time.
The New Zealand Crime and
Safety Survey (2014) identified
76 per cent of family violence is
not reported.
Family harm
Family harm encapsulates a
holistic view of the issues occurring
within families and their
ensuing detrimental effects.
Family violence is a subset of
family harm which includes
physical, sexual or psychological
abuse within family relationships.
There may be behaviour that
is coercive or controlling and
causes cumulative harm.
Family harm is a high priority
for police and reducing the
impact of family harm episodes
is a key police priority. Family
harm can be a single episode or a
Dean Harker
Selwyn Police
number of episodes forming a
behaviour or series of events, an
act of violence is often an escalation
of an ongoing pattern of
coercion and control.
There are wide reaching
societal consequences of family
harm including crime. Poor
physical and mental health and
poverty.
When police attend family
harm events they aim to:
• Slow and eventually stop the
family harm cycle/cumulative
harm across generations.
• Reduce serious harm such
as the use of physical violence,
sexual abuse and child abuse
and neglect.
• Reduce family harm-related
deaths (homicides and other
related offences and suicides).
When investigating a family
harm investigation
Police will provide an
effective response to family
harm which involves:
• Taking an “eyes wide open”
approach to all family harm
investigations, recognising that
early intervention helps to stop
and prevent family harm
• Being culturally responsive
• Ensuring all parties are kept
safe including victims, children
and police.
• Taking action with predominant
aggressors/ offenders
through a prompt and comprehensive
response.
• Working with partners as
part of a multi-agency response.
If you have concerns about
members of your family,
neighbours of witness a family
harm event please inform police.
Be safe and feel safe.
Reporting family harm
events can be done in a
number of ways.
•Phone 111 when you need
immediate help with a lifethreatening
or time–critical
emergency
•By phoning 105 – when no
one is injured or in danger,
there is no serious risk to
people or property, the crime
isn’t still happening. - By
reporting online at 105.police.

• By Jonny Turner
DRIVER Samantha Ottley
pulled off a miraculous win
with Bonnie Boy after being
jolted out of her sulky and going
within millimetres of crashing to
Forbury Park track on Thursday
night.
Ottley was facing the prospect
of being thrown out of her cart
and amongst a line of oncoming
horses when a tightening of runners
racing in to the first bend
started to flip her cart sideways.
As her disaster approached, the
Canterbury reinswoman hoped
she would somehow be able to
avoid what would have been an
ugly and terrifying scene.
Ottley got her wish, but admitted
she had no idea quite what
saved her.
“I don’t really know how I got
back in, it happens quick,” she
said.
“I am sore on my side, so I
must have really strained to get
back in. But let’s just say I am
really pleased that I did.”
After avoiding catastrophe,
winning race 4 was not at the
forefront of Ottley’s mind.
Instead, she was calming her
nerves, which had just been fully
tested.
“At the time I got back in the
cart and around the first bend I
was taking some deep breathes
and thought okay, I’m safe now.”
Once Ottley and Bonnie Boy
composed themselves it was not
long before they were heading
around the field to take the lead
from the favourites To Ri Caitlin
and Mark Hurrell.
Though it did not seem like the
front was there for the taking, a
fired up Bonnie Boy soon made
sure it was
“The front wasn’t really there,
but the horse latched on and I got
up next to Mark,” Ottley said.
“I was hoping he would get a
neck in front and then start to
relax.
“But the horse had other ideas.

Win after near crash
MIRACLE: Sam Ottley brings Bonnie Boy back to the
Forbury Park birdcage after a win on Thursday night.
“He has won his other two
races in front, so he does love it
out there bowling along.”
A home straight battle loomed
for Bonnie Boy as he turned the
corner with the To Ri Caitlin
ready to come off his back and
pounce.
But the 7yr-old dug deep to
pull off the most incredible of
comeback victories.
Bonnie Boy is trained by
Anne-Marie Best, who is in the
process of moving her stables
from Fairhall, near Blenheim, to
Canterbury.

Once in a decade make over
for district’s rule book
People in Selwyn can now read and have their say on the Proposed District Plan, which is open for
consultation until 5pm on Friday 4 December.
The District Plan sets the rules for what people can do on their properties and what needs resource
consent, and must be reviewed every 10 years.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the new plan will make huge strides in preparing the district for the future.
“This is an important move for Selwyn. The District Plan matters, because it impacts all our lives and
how we live, work and play in the district. Most of the current plan has been in operation since 2008.
Since then we’ve seen massive changes and we need a new plan that is not only up to date with the
new world we live in, but ready to take us through the next decade.”
The new plan aims to simplify the rules, make it easier to find them and shifts the focus to what you
can do.
The proposed plan includes rules to focus residential development in and around our existing
townships. It allows more housing types in urban areas and removes the requirement that only
family members can live in a family flat.
It proposes reducing the density of houses allowed in part of the Outer Plains, to ensure land is
retained for rural production, and tighter rules around businesses in residential and rural areas.
Daytime noise rules would run from 7am–10pm and sky glow rules would reduce light pollution,
in particular creating dark-sky zones in areas of the high country, the coast and around the West
Melton Observatory.
You can read the summary consultation document Because it matters at Council libraries and
service centres, or online at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview, or search your address and see how
the rules affect your property at selwyn.govt.nz/proposedeplan.
Council planning staff will also be holding drop-in sessions to answer your questions.

A dance of friendship and Indonesian culture
Hand in hand, dressed in colourful traditional Indonesian costumes, members of Lincoln University’s
Indonesian Club will take to the CultureFest stage to dance.
Club founder Yeni Yeni says their dance will reflect coming together and represent some of Indonesia’s
34 provinces.
“This year we want to perform a dance showing friendship. We want to be a friend of kiwis and dance
together with the audience.”
Each costume worn by the performers comes from a different province in Indonesia.
The Indonesian Club, which has 23 members, was started by Yeni and a friend in December to
recognise and promote Indonesian culture at Lincoln University and help new Indonesian students feel
welcome and settle.
“I’m so happy finally we can have a club and introduce our culture and be a part of the Lincoln
community. It is very important for us to be represented at LUSA.”
Yeni came to Lincoln University a year and a half ago on a
scholarship for her masters. It was a dream come true and allowed
her to bring her son with her, she says.
“Not only did I benefit from the scholarship, but also my son. He
can learn about education, different culture and language here and
respect for other people.”
While Yeni misses the large variety of fruit that grows in Indonesia,
she has found a new favourite in our feijoa.
“I don’t get that back at home, I will miss feijoa from New Zealand.”
Meet us in the country
A celebration of spring in Selwyn is kicking off next week.
‘Meet us in the Country’ will showcase the best of rural events and
lifestyle, highlighting visitor attractions around Selwyn in October
and November.
The campaign covers everything from farm experiences, farmers
markets, fêtes, A&P Shows, garden tours and festivals such as the
Hororātā Highland Games.
It aims to highlight the best of rural life, particularly for people looking
for a day out from Christchurch or the surrounding districts and
Selwyn people looking to get to know their own backyard, Council
Community and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd says.
“We know there’s always something exciting going on in our rural
communities, but it’s not always well known in the wider community.
The life we have from the land is the backbone of our district and
community and we want to share that with people around Canterbury
and encourage people in Selwyn to enjoy what we have here.”
More information about what’s on is available on
Selwyn.nz/meetusinthecountry.
Have your say on rules for
keeping animals in towns
We want to hear from you on proposed rules for keeping animals,
poultry and bees in our towns and townships.
As Selwyn’s population grows, especially in our townships, so
does the number of pets and animals we have, so the Council has
developed a draft bylaw on the keeping of animals, poultry and bees.
The draft bylaw covers the keeping of animals in townships except
dogs, which are covered by separate legislation. It aims to protect the
public from nuisance, and address public health and safety issues.
It sets rules on the numbers of hives and poultry allowed, and where
and how they can be housed.
It would also mean no stock is allowed on properties under 2000
square metres without written approval from the Council.
It covers issues such as nuisance, odour, and noise and will allow
the Council to investigate and act on nuisance complaints relating
to animals.
In the previous consultation feedback was sought on whether the
Council should require people to microchip and de-sex their cats.
The Council has reconsidered its position and these provisions have
been removed from the draft bylaw.
Submissions are open until 5pm Friday 6 November, and you can
request to be heard at a public hearing on your submission.
The Statement of Proposal (which includes the draft Proposed
Bylaw), can be viewed at all Council Service Centres and Libraries.
You can read the draft bylaw, and make a submission online at
selwyn.govt.nz/animalbylaw. Or you can download a submission
form and email to animalbylaw@selwyn.govt.nz or post to:

Leeston flood protection work begins
Work is under way on stage three of the Leeston stormwater bypass, replacing the High Street culverts
and connecting these to Volkman Drain.
To do this work Station Street and Leeston Road will be closed at times around the Volkman Road
and High Street intersections. Station Street is due to be closed from 16 October to 11 November and
Leeston Road is due to be closed from 12 November to 15 December.
When Station Street is closed the detour will take traffic down Cunningham Street back to Station
Street. Because Station Street is the truck bypass into Leeston, residents should expect increased
truck movements during this time.
The works are part of a long-term project to upgrade the stormwater network and reduce the risk of
flooding in Leeston.
Detailed design work for stage four, connecting the Leeston creek with the flood bypass channel is
under way and the Council is making progress to begin construction in February 2021.
This is the final stage for the bypass to be operational. The bypass was originally due to be completed
by 2023, but could be operational two years ahead of schedule. Further work and refinements will be
considered in the future.
Rolleston Drive roadworks
One lane of Rolleston Drive will be closed this weekend, from just south of Dryden Avenue to Norman
Kirk Drive.
The work, which is part of the new Dryden Avenue, Norman Kirk Drive intersection construction, will
begin on Friday 9 October and be finished by the end of day on Sunday 11 October, weather permitting.
Stop/go controls and a reduced speed limit will be in place around the work site. We’re encouraging
people to please consider using alternative routes such as the Weedons Interchange, to avoid delays
on this section of road. Thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.

BLACK CAPS allrounder
Daryl Mitchell launched
his Canterbury country
cricket debut with a
blistering batting assault,
though it couldn’t help his
new club Lincoln to victory
in the opening round
of the premier one-day
competition.
Mitchell, who moved
from Northern Districts
to Canterbury to play his
domestic cricket this season,
cracked 90 from just
64 balls – including eight
sixes – though Leeston-
Southbridge survived the
barrage to ultimately win
by eight wickets after being
set 191 for victory at Leeston
Park last Saturday.
Canterbury Country
captain Harry Chamberlain
led his side home with
an unbeaten 81 off 77 balls.
He was well supported by
fellow Country batsman
Rupert Young (39 off 42)
and Canterbury representative
Will Williams
who was unbeaten on 55.
A former Black Cap was
also prominent in Southbrook’s
58-run win over
Cheviot at Southbrook Domain,
but it was teenager
George Gunn stunned the
visitors with a stunning
haul of 5/9.
After veteran opener
Tony Hancox blasted a
quickfire half-century,
Shanan Stewart made his
own 50 as the hosts mustered
182 on a low, slow
pitch.
Cheviot made a solid
start before another ‘Brook
stalwart, Darryn Boyle, entered
the attack and snared
three wickets.
But Gunn, 15, was the
star of the show, coming
on as fifth change and
immediately having an
impact.
He ripped through the
Cheviot line-up which
slumped from 92-3, to be
all out for 124 in the 36th
over.
Ryan Ellis persevered
with 28 off 67 balls but the
wickets tumbled around
him before he could make
a substantial score.
Competition newcomers
Ohoka lost a thriller
against Sefton as their
quest for 186 fell just short
at Sefton Domain.
Batting first, Sefton
made a solid start through
opener Tim Harrison, who
anchored the innings with
a composed 51 runs off 114
balls.
Matt Laffey chipped in
with 34 and Canterbury
quick bowler Fraser Sheat
added 29 off 35 before
Sefton were dismissed on
the final ball of their 45-
over innings.
Several Ohoka batsmen
made starts but could not
push on, leaving experienced
allrounder Paul
Williams stranded on 42
when tailender Harry Williams
was caught by Sheat
with six runs needed for
a memorable start for the
promoted side.
Williams was McKenzie

Darfield Artweek popular with artists
Darfield Artweek will celebrate its 39th Opening Night on
Friday, 9 October, 7pm, at the Darfield Rec Centre.
“We are pleased to have Areta Wilkinson, an accomplished
artist based in Oxford, as this year’s judge for the Artweek
competition. She will announce the winner of a number
of awards sponsored by local businesses, including the
coveted $2000 Premier Award”, said Malvern Community
Arts Council Chair, Philip Baldwin.
“The Artweek Committee is gratified by the number
of artworks that will be on exhibit. We had expected a
smaller exhibition following the lockdown earlier in the
year, but at least 125 artists from Selwyn District, the city
of Christchurch, and countrywide have registered”, Mr
Baldwin noted.
Members of the public are able to vote for the People’s
Choice Award throughout the week-long art exhibition, as
well as having their vote entered into a prize-winning draw.
Darfield Artweek comprises two exhibitions this year. The
Darfield Rec Centre will hold the main exhibition, with works
that are in competition for awards. At the same time Te
Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield will feature work by members
of Arts Canterbury. “This exhibition features a variety of
artworks—all creative, colourful, and skilfully executed. The
selection of works is stunning”, Mr Baldwin concluded.
Entry to Darfield Artweek’s exhibition spaces, the Rec
Centre and Te Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield, is free from
Saturday, 10 October to Sunday, 18 October.

Crepes are a delicious
meal, needing only a
green salad to finish it
off
Crepe layer pie
6 servings
Ingredients
Crepes:
110gm (¾ cup) plain flour
pinch salt
2 eggs
200ml milk
75ml water
50gm butter
Place the flour and salt into a
mixing bowl. Add the milk and
the lightly beaten eggs. Mix well
with a hand whisk. Add the water
and beat until smooth.
Melt the butter in the pan that
you are intending to cook the
crepes in. Add to the batter and
mix through.
Return the crepe pan to the
stove and heat until it is quite hot.
There should be enough butter
left in it so that you don’t have to
grease the pan.
Tip a little of the batter into the
hot pan and swirl it around so
that the bottom is evenly covered.
Cook until the top is dry, then
turn over using a fish slice and
cook the other side before removing
to a large plate. Continue in
this way until all the batter has
been used.
The filling:
50gm butter
1 large onion
200gm mushrooms
10 asparagus spears
2 tbsp plain flour
½ cup milk
250gm tub cràeme fraiche
½ smoked chicken or 2
smoked chicken breasts
salt and pepper
A little Swiss cheese to grate
over the top.
Preheat your oven to 180 deg
C.
Melt the butter in a large frying
pan. Thinly slice the onion
and add it to the pan. Cook over
a medium heat until soft. Wipe,
trim and slice the mushrooms
and add to the pan. Cook, stirring
occasionally, for a couple of
minutes.

served as a full
meal.
Sprinkle over the flour and stir
in well. Cook for another minute
or two, then add the milk and
mix in well. Take care not to be
too vigorous or you will break up
the mushrooms.
Let this come to a gentle simmer,
stirring fairly constantly,
then add the cràeme fraiche and
stir thoroughly.
Bring to barely a simmer and
remove from the heat. Season
with salt and freshly ground
black pepper.
Bring a pot of water to the
boil and add the asparagus that
should be cut in 2cm lengths.
Let it come back to the boil and
simmer for a minute, then tip off
the water and re-fill the pot with
cold water to stop the asparagus
cooking further. Drain well and
add to the mushroom mixture.
Remove the skin from the
smoked chicken and roughly
chop the meat. Stir this into the
rest of the ingredients.
Directions
Line a 20cm spring form tin
with baking paper. Place one of
the crepes in the base of the pan
and top with a quarter of the
filling. Top with another crepe
and another quarter of the
filling.
Continue layering until you
have finished all the filling, then
top with a final crepe.
Sprinkle over a little grated
Swiss cheese.
Cover with tinfoil and bake for
30min, then remove the tin foil
and return to the oven for a further
10min.
Take the pan from the oven and
leave for at least 10min to firm up
a little. Remove from the tin, peel
off the baking paper and serve
warm cut into wedges.
Any leftovers will successfully
reheat in the microwave.

New Yaris draws on links to Daihatsu
IT’S PROBABLY the Toyota Motor
Company’s best kept secret, it is the
sole owner of Daihatsu.
Daihatsu used to be well
represented in New Zealand, its
range of small cars were popular,
especially in times of fuel shortages
and high fuel prices, the threecylinder
engines that characterised
many of the models were
economical, honest and charming.
As recent history has served
to prove, Daihatsu is no longer
marketed new in New Zealand,
but you can guarantee the threecylinder
engine technology that
Daihatsu developed through the
years has been widely scrutinised
by Toyota when it developed the
fourth-generation Yaris.
Yes, the brand new Yaris is very
much a departure from the old
model. There are hybrid options,
and each of the four variants is
powered by a 1.5-litre three-pot
engine. Sure, most of Daihatsu’s
three-cylinder engines were just
999c, but I’m picking the basic
engine construction bears many
similarities to the faithful units
Daihatsu pumped out in the
hundreds of thousands.
Not only does the new Yaris
have rather special drivelines, it
also incorporates a tasteful, fresh
body style, it is curvy with just
the right amount of design flair. It
looks youthful and almost daring,
the test car was finished in a lime
green with black accents, it looked
terrific and gained favourable
comment during the time I had the
evaluation car in my care.
The newcomer starts at $25,990
for the non-hybrid GX, the subject
of this evaluation. I’m due to drive
the two ZR models soon, they list
at $29,990 (petrol) and $32,990
(petrol/electric). There’s also a GX
hybrid which lists at $27,990. These
are all prices which will bring cheer
to the fuel-conscious buyer, for not
only are you getting good value
but you will benefit from frugal
efficiency of small capacity engines.
Toyota claims a 4.9-litre per
100km combined cycle average
for the petrol-only Yaris, that
against 3.3l/100km for the hybrid.
Both are excellent figures and
are achievable, well at least in
the petrol-only model. The GX I
tested went back to the dealership
showing 5.6l/100km on the
readout, that was gleaned through
a long highway drive along the
Scenic Route/SH 72. At 100km/h
the engine ticks over slowly at just
2000rpm, returning an amazing
instantaneous figure of 3.8l/100km.
The engine is a feisty little unit
which delights with its harmonics.
TOYOTA YARIS GX: Cheeky styling and bright colours for
fourth-generation model.
Three-cylinder engines have a
specific tone, they all do it, and
that is something we’ll all need to
adjust to, engines of this type are
being churned out by a multitude
of manufacturers these days, and
they all have similar sound and
characteristics.
They also develop a lot of natural
torque, pulling from low in the
rev band and, when coupled to a
continuously variable automatic
transmission, there is a lot of natural
freedom, the two elements combine
to provide a seamless flow of power.
Toyota lists the newcomer with a
power figure of 88kW. If you add in
145Nm of torque from 4800rpm to
5200rpm, they are the ingredients
which make the three-potter so
special, it hauls solidly all through
the rev band, peaking at 6600rpm
and delighting as it revs through.
Acceleration is relatively smart
for its role with a 10.8sec standstill
to 100km time, while it will also
complete an overtaking manoeuvre
(80-120km/h) in 7sec.
I’ve made no secret over the
years of my enthusiasm for triple
engines, and the Yaris’ unit is one
of the best, it is a delight in terms
of honesty and its thrifty nature
speaks for itself. I was relatively
enthusiastic when I drove the
car, yet it still delivered good
economy.
The long, straight roads of
Canterbury don’t have many
corners, but I did deviate to a
road which has some tight bends
which always tax a chassis and
suspension. I found the Yaris
to have traditional handling
qualities; typically Toyota it has
solid steering feel and moderate
suspension settings which contain
well a tall body height (1.5m) from
gravitational movement.
Even though the rear suspension

• Fuel usage – 4.9l/100km
is a simplistic torsion beam type
and the tyres are on the small
size at 185/60 x 15in, there is an
encouraging amount of grip. Bear
in mind that in GX form the Yaris
gets steel wheels with plastic trim
covers. There’s nothing wrong
with that, when you are buying a
$25k you should expect just the
essentials.
In saying that, while the
interior trim has just the basics
the Yaris still gets a solid suite of
safety spec and nothing has been
compromised with that.
If you aren’t satisfied with the
GX level of trim, the extra $4k that
will get you in ZR spec adds more
of the niceties that today’s new car
buyer is often looking for.
If you look at the Yaris’ history it
goes way back past Toyota Echo to
Starlet. The latter served my wife
brilliantly for many years, it owes
its origins to Daihatsu, it came off
that company’s production line
and was testament to the quality
both organisations incorporate as
automobile manufacturers.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Survey reveals rural
connectivity an issue
While the majority of urban New
Zealanders can get on the information
superhighway at speed, the latest
Federated Farmers connectivity survey
shows too many rural families and
businesses are still stuck in second gear on
a potholed back-road.
“We had nearly 900 responses from
our members from every farm type and
geographical spread but a bitter irony
was that several more couldn’t complete
the on-line questions because they didn’t
have internet access or connectivity was
too patchy or slow,” Federated Farmers
President and telecommunications
spokesperson Andrew Hoggard said.
Around 68% of respondents have
download speeds of 20Mbps or less, and
nearly 24% are enduring download speeds
of just 0-5Mbps.
“While around a third is on unlimited
download monthly plans, many of those
on capped plans complain they’d like to
go unlimited but their ISP – often their
only choice of ISP – doesn’t provide that
option.
“It’s interesting that a number of
respondents told us that during the level
4 COVID-19 lockdown some providers
extended unlimited downloads to them.
This would seem to indicate it’s not
technical issues getting in the way of
offering unlimited plans to these rural
clients,” Andrew said.
Mobile coverage remains a concern,
with around one in three farms surveyed
indicating only up to 50% of their farm
gets a connection. Not far short of a
quarter get 25% of farm coverage or less.
“And yet 92% of these farmers had a
smartphone, and around 75% told us they
use smartphone apps to support the farm
business,” Andrew said.
While in many of the connectivity
measures there have been improvements
since the Feds’ 2019 survey, it’s usually
only by a percent or two.
“The task ahead is less one of pushing
broadband into ever more isolated
and remote locations and more one of
addressing the gaps in coverage and
constraints on capacity of earlier builds.
More targeted investment towards
bespoke builds would go a long way
towards addressing connection speed and
reliability concerns,” Andrew said.
“Competition is a concern with many
members finding they only have the one
provider and have to take it or leave it as
regards price and quality of service.”
Many of the new technologies employed
on farms, whether cloud software
or smartphone applications, require
connectivity to realise and maximise the
benefits of their use to the farm business.
Farmers are also increasingly expected
to engage electronically with business
services and government agencies, such
as banks, IRD and local councils. And,
just like urban families, the farm owner’s
home and the on-farm staff houses have
partners and children trying to get on-line
to look up information, do homework and
engage in social media.

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Time to get planting and fertilising
OCTOBER IS possibly the most
exciting month in the home
garden with plenty to plant both
outdoors and indoors.
Houseplants
‘Change over time’ for cyclamen
that have finished flowering,
either plant them in the garden
or pop them in the compost
bin. Time to purchase and plant
up news seasons flowering
houseplants like spathiphyllums
(peace lily), anthuriums,
kalanchoes (flaming katies) and
moth orchids. Check if existing
houseplants need repotting. Use
a houseplant potting mix and
move them up to a slightly larger
pot. Resist planting them into
much larger pots as this can cause
problems with watering. You can
now start applying houseplant
fertiliser.
The change of season means
some areas will become too hot
for some houseplants. North
and east-facing rooms provide
the best light and filtered is best.
Avoid placing plants up against
windows in direct sunlight as
their foliage will burn quickly.
Vegetable garden
All summer vegetables can now
be planted including courgettes,
cucumbers, beans, beetroot, carrots,
celery, corn, leeks, lettuce,
melons, onions, radish, pumpkin,
tomato, and zucchini. Consider
expanding your existing vegetable
gardens remembering the experience
of Covid19 this year.
Prepare the vegetable plot thoroughly
before planting with new
compost, the better the preparation,
invariably a more bountiful
harvest. Stagger planting (every
two weeks or so) to ensure continuous
harvesting and avoiding
If your cyclamen has
finished flowering, replant it.
vegetables maturing at the same
time.
Water young seedlings as
requited and apply a side dressing
of vegetable fertiliser as the plants
mature.
Flowering annuals
It’s time to plant flower beds
and containers with summer
flowering annuals. As with the
vegetable garden, prepare sites
with new compost and use new
container mix when planting into
tubs and containers.
Summer flowering annuals to
plant this month include alyssum,
asters, corn flowers, californian
poppy, cosmos, delphiniums, hollyhock,
livingston daisy, lobelia,
marigolds, nemesia, petunias,
portulacas, phlox, salvias, statice,
sunflowers, sweet peas, verbena
and zinnias.
Fruit trees
Start applying fruit tree fertiliser,
this is especially important
around young specimens as the
fertiliser encourages the development
of a strong, sturdy root system.
As soils warm towards the
end of the month, mulch around
trees to prevent weed growth and
improve water retention over the
hot, dry summer months.
Berry fruit
Boysenberries, blackberries,
raspberries, and loganberries are
all growing rapidly. Remove any
surplus canes where growth is excessive.
Keep training new canes
on supports or wire. Fertilise with
berry fertiliser every five to six
weeks and add a layer of much
around plants.
Stop ‘pinching out’ strawberry
flowers and allow fruit to form
towards the end of October.
Regularly inspect for any sights of
botrytis (gray mould) and remove
any infected leaves. Keep maintaining
a mulch of pea straw and/
or crushed bark around plants.
Roses
In most parts of New Zealand,
roses will be flowering freely and
will be disease free. Apply the first
side-dressing of fertiliser towards
the end of the month and repeat
every five to six weeks until mid-
December. Deadhead finished
flowers to promote new continuous
flowering.
Lawns
With grass growth under way
it’s time to start regularly mowing
again. Apply lawn fertiliser and
repeat applications every four to
six weeks until mid-December.
Fresh grass seed can be sown in
problem areas of the lawn, spread
new topsoil evenly before sowing
seed. Keep the area moist until
the grass seed has germinated.
Grass cuttings can be added to
the compost bin in a ‘little but
often’ manner.
Container gardens
Perfect time to replant containers
with flowering annuals, herbs,
or summer salad vegetables. Fill
containers with fresh, new container
mix that is free draining.
Plant herbs close to kitchen and in sun
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 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.

Notification of the
Proposed Selwyn District Plan
Clause 5 of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991
Date of public notice: Monday 5 October 2020
Selwyn District Council invites submissions on the Proposed Selwyn District Plan.
About the Proposed Selwyn District Plan
A district plan is essentially a 10-year ‘rule book’ that sets district-wide rules for sustainably managing how people use, subdivide
and develop land, what and where they can build and also what kind of activities they can undertake. The plan also controls any
adverse effects an activity could have on the neighbourhood. The district plan protects the uniqueness of our district by looking
after our heritage, cultural values, outstanding landscapes and coastal environment.
The Proposed Selwyn District Plan is intended to replace the Operative Selwyn District Plan. However, the rules in the Proposed
District Plan do not have immediate legal effect, except for those that can be found in the following chapters of the Proposed Plan:
· Historic Heritage
· Natural Character
· Notable Trees
· Activities on the Surface of Water
· Sites and Areas of Significance to Māori
· Subdivision.
· Ecosystems and Indigenous Biodiversity
The rules that have immediate legal effect are clearly identified in the Proposed District Plan. You may therefore require a resource
consent under the Proposed District Plan if you wish to undertake work on or within these items or areas.
Designations
The Proposed District Plan includes new notices of requirements for designations. In addition, modifications are also sought for
a number of existing designations. All new notices of requirements and modified designations can be viewed in the Designations
chapter of the Proposed District Plan and on the planning map.
How to make a submission?
Anyone can make a submission on the Proposed Selwyn District Plan by using one of the following options:
· Complete an online submission form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/dprsubmission.
· Download a PDF submission form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview and:
- email it to dprsubmissions@selwyn.govt.nz (Subject line: Proposed Selwyn District Plan Submission)
- post it to Selwyn District Council, Freepost 104 653, PO Box 90/Rolleston 7643,
Attention: Proposed Selwyn District Plan Submission
- deliver it to a Council service centre in Darfield, Lincoln, Leeston or Rolleston.
· Pick up a hard copy submission form at Council libraries and service centres.
Written submissions must be submitted on the Council submission form, or on Form 5 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
Your submission must state whether you want to present your views at a Council hearing.

· A copy of the further submission must be sent to the Council and the person who made the original submission.
· If requested by any submitter, we will hold a public hearing on the submissions received.
· Following the hearing we will give notice of our decision on the Proposed District Plan (and matters raised in submissions,
including our reasons for accepting or rejecting submissions).
· Every submitter then has the right to appeal the decision on the Proposed District Plan to the Environment Court.

In just a matter of days, New Zealanders will go to the polls and vote on the most crucial
election in living memory.
National’s economic plan of lower taxes, job friendly policies and investment in quality
infrastructure will grow our economy, giving businesses the confidence to grow and restore
household incomes for New Zealanders.
At the heart of everything we do is our drive to support families and communities by giving
businesses the confidence to invest and grow.
We take the view that if New Zealand is going to take on intergenerational debt, then we
owe it to future generations to leave them with intergenerational assets.
Historic investment in critical infrastructure - like the four-laning of SH1 down to Ashburton
will keep thousands in jobs for the next decade.
At the same time as building those assets, we will rebuild our economy - so that core
services like hospitals, DHBs and schools can continue to be well funded, and families and
communities are well looked after.
Selwyn - and New Zealand - needs a National Government that has a plan and is
absolutely focused on growing the economy and creating jobs.
If you vote to send me to Wellington on 17 October, I will do everything in my power to
support you and your family.

Rebooting our economy
We’ll cut your tax. An average income earner will take home
an extra $3000 under a National government. Our JobStart
policy will provide $10,000 cash support for businesses
that take on new staff, our BusinessStart policy will provide
even further cash support for people who want to start a
new business, while our plans to spend an extra $31 billion
on transport infrastructure and $4.8 billion on world-class
education infrastructure will create thousands of jobs.

Back
Your Economy.
Your Future.
Our country is in the midst of the biggest economic challenge in 160
years.
With a recession looming, large budget deficits, extensive job losses,
and the threat of continued hardship, Kiwis need a team with real
world experience that can deliver results.
Only a National Government has the plan to enable and encourage
the investment we need to generate jobs and keep taxes low, while
getting on with ambitious infrastructure builds that will drive growth
and support our families and communities now and into the future.

Paradise awaits
Entering through electric gates, the sweeping driveway leads to a beautifully
master-crafted home designed for the entertainer in all of us. This unique
‘show stopping’ residence was lovingly designed and completed by the current
owners to an extremely high standard for themselves & their extended family.
The versatility of the living spaces & outbuildings leave so many different
options for you to explore.
The beautiful main home comprises 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 separate
living areas, a large study, an amazing designer kitchen & a dining hall that
extends through to a garden room with enviable views of the expansive
grounds. Equally impressive is the cottage, which features a lovely kitchen, 1
bedroom & bathroom + a fully-lined garage with a wide range of potential uses.
All of this is set on 5 acres of park-like gardens, extensively planted with English
specimen trees. Furthermore, the “Vine Bar” with pizza oven, set in its own
vineyard, makes for great alfresco entertainment. This dream-like setting is the
perfect place to host a wedding! For the gardeners out there, wait until you see
the vegetable garden, berry fruits, cherry trees and, in the orchard, peaches,
apples & apricots! The citrus house is bursting with lemons, limes, oranges &
grapefruit. For the car enthusiast, there is a triple car garage + a 6 x 9m Total
Span shed. An extensive irrigation system makes it easy to keep this property
well-watered & looking great all-year-round.
Our vendors have made the very difficult decision to leave their dream property
for a job transfer & are committed to handing this piece of paradise over on or
before auction day for new owners to love & treasure as they have done.
Viewings of this unique & special home will be by pre-registered appointments,
so please contact either Sarah or Nick to arrange a time to tour the property &
see all that it can offer you.

A solid investment opportunity
Situated in a prime location and boasting an excellent productivity record, this 123 hectare (subject to survey) dairy
unit warrants your full attention. The availability of water combined with an efficient dairy farm system promises a
solid future. The majority of the land is covered by a Wiper Pivot, with the balance of irrigation via the combination
of a Southern Cross Gun and Turbo Rainer. This location is well regarded for its grass growing ability and fertile soils,
providing a proven base for excellent ongoing results. The workable shape, central lane and road access along the
length of the property makes maintenance a simple process. The existing platform area of approximately 133
hectares has been running around 430 cows and producing an average of approximately 195,000kg/MS. The
40-bail rotary dairy shed has been fully upgraded in the last two years.

Identifying the square metre rate
The square metre rate (sqm) is the
average cost of building each square metre
of a house; calculated by dividing the total
build price by the home’s total square
metres.
Sqm rates are not standard across
all parts of a house with building costs
varying between rooms. Garages cost
considerably less than utility rooms like
kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries so
choosing high quality appliances and more
features can ratchet up the build price.
The cladding chosen is also relevant. A
quoted sqm figure is likely based on brick
veneer, the cheapest form of cladding,
followed by plaster finish then cedar.
Building a smaller house does not
necessarily translate to a lower sqm rate.
Certain costs are incurred regardless of the
size of home. You still need an electrical
Show
home
Guide
switchboard and the same number of
building inspections. The cost of drainage,
hot water cylinder, garage door, and
telephone and electricity connections will
not differ significantly between larger and
smaller houses. Building consent fees do
vary with the size of house.
Sqm figures are therefore guides,
influenced by the features specified and
type of build. The standard sqm figure
quoted by a building company is generally
based on construction of a standard
house on a fully serviced section, on good
ground.
Ground conditions determine the
type and cost of foundations. If building
on TC1 land the foundations are more
affordable than on TC3 land. Ease of
connection of services like electricity and
the internet are also a factor. For example,
the distance from house to roadside is
usually further on a lifestyle property.
When a housing company quotes a
square metre rate, it will likely refer to
building the actual house, not external
landscaping or other features.
Thinking of Building?
Come on over... and be inspired.
Some building
companies offer
turn-key packages
where the build
price incorporates
an allowance
for fences,
driveways, paths,
letterbox, some
soft landscaping,
and maybe a
clothesline. You will
want to ascertain
what you will get for your money.
A building company’s lowest sqm
rate is likely (though not always) based
on a standard stud and internal door
height, and flat ceilings. Deviations like
opting for over height doors or higher
ceilings are usually extras with the build
price increasing. Be aware of sales patter
encouraging adding non-essential features
you may not really want, and which might
exceed your budget.
The features incorporated into a new
home impact on the sqm build price, a

figure which can range from $1,600 per
sqm for a standard house to over $3,000
per sqm for an architecturally designed
home.
When visiting show homes, determine
each company’s sqm rate and add-on
features incorporated, for the home on
view. Ask what is standard for each level
within their range of builds. The figures
will vary substantially between homes and
companies. Gather plenty of information
to gain an appreciation of what a quoted
sqm figures represents.

Expertise, quality

Building a new home is a major commitment, involving
many decisions along the way. You will therefore want a

One building company, which has a proven track
record in Selwyn is Generation Homes Christchurch.
In the last year, they have constructed 36 homes in the
district and 150 in the last five years (112 of these in
Rolleston).
Generation Homes Christchurch, have been a main
player in the Rolleston subdivisions of Branthwaite and
Devon Park, and were the creators of Devon Green. They
are the contractors for Woodcroft Estate lifestyle village,
having recently completed The Pavilion there. You may
also have seen the Generation Homes’ flag in Lincoln’s
Flemington, Te Whāriki or Rosemerryn housing estates,
or around Rolleston where they have built homes in
Faringdon, Acland Park, Stonebrook, Park Lane and East
Maddisons Road.
Joint Venture Partners of Generation Homes

involvement with their company, supported by a skilled

needs are met and they end up with a home they will

time. Their 14 stage build process adheres to industry best

This human touch extends beyond their core business
activities with Generation Homes Christchurch assisting
many community initiatives, like St John Rolleston base’s
renovations, Halswell’s Knights Stream School’s bike park,
and sponsoring the Diwali Festival.
As well as having a library of 300 house designs,

design service. A colour consultant also works with every
