6 Selwyn Times Wednesday November 11 2020 Proposed Selwyn District Plan Because it matters. How does it affect you? Looking after our heritage and culture Selwyn has experienced several waves of settlement by Māori and Europeans over many decades. As a result there are sites, buildings and structures in our district which are of cultural or historic value to individuals, families, iwi, rūnanga and communities. It’s important we look after all the things and places that are part of our history and identity, and preserve them for current and future generations to enjoy and learn from. How do we protect Selwyn’s historic heritage? Joe and Tracey, heritage building owners from Courtenay Key proposed changes – historic and cultural heritage: · Updated schedule of listed heritage buildings, structures and items · A heritage item’s setting will now also be part of the listing, which means erecting buildings and structures, and some earthworks within the setting, will be managed · Updated schedule of listed notable trees · Updated criteria to help identify notable trees for listing in the District Plan · Overall the rules for listed heritage items and notable trees aren’t proposed to change much, other than the requirement to manage some activities in the setting of a heritage item · The sites and areas of significance to Māori identified in the Proposed District Plan largely reflect those that are identified in the operative District Plan. However, one change is the inclusion of a Ngā Tūranga Tūpuna area – covering Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere, its margins and associated wetlands, along with the coastal area between the Rakaia River and Taumutu · New rules to recognise and protect sites and areas of significance to Māori. These rules manage a number of activities, eg erecting new buildings or structures, whereas the current District Plan only manages earthworks ‘Talk to a planner’ at one of the drop-in sessions Lincoln Tuesday 17 November, 6–7.30pm Baylis Lounge at Lincoln Event Centre, 15 Meijer Drive Darfield Tuesday 24 November, 6–7.30pm Lounge Room at Darfield Recreation and Community Centre, 92 North Centre The closing date for submissions is 5pm on Friday 11 December 2020. selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview
Wednesday November 11 2020 Selwyn Times Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 7 Cultures blend at highland games SCOTTISH AND Kiwi culture came together at the 10th Hororata Highland Games on Saturday. A total of 570 competitors danced, piped, drummed, tossed, ran and tugged in front of 8500 people and 2020 chieftain John de Vries. With borders shut and no international competitors this year, an all New Zealand field for the heavy lifting events produced a hotly-contested competition. Ashburton’s Craig Manson won the men’s championship with Siositina Hakeai taking out the women’s trophy. The band of the day belonged to Canterbury Caledonian grade 3. The Average Joes took out the men’s Southfuels tug of war for the third year in a row, and team Fulton Hogan won the mixed competition. Hororata Primary School won the Harraways junior warriors competition. The champion highland dancer was Danielle Joy. Hororata Community Trust chairman Richard Lang said Covid-19 put this year’s games in doubt but the support it received from sponsors, suppliers and volunteers made it possible. “It was a magnificent, family day. People were enjoying being out and about, having something different to do. Our ‘have a go’ events were busy all day as everyone got into the spirit of the Hororata Highland Games,” said Lang. Said de Vries: “I am just so proud to be part of Clan Hororata and to have been asked to be chieftain. I believe the reason the games is such a special, successful event is the sense of community that comes from everyone involved.” A highlight of the day was the chieftain’s welcome ceremony which saw a blend of Kiwi and Scottish culture. “Standing on the stage in front of hundreds of pipers and drummers as they played Flower of Scotland was so powerful, then followed by the local kapa haka welcome it was really moving,” de Vries said. • More photos, page 8 • The face behind highland games, page 11 STRONG: Craig Manson won the men’s heavy events championship.
