Farmers dig in over access<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Agroup of Hurunui farmersisreeling<br />

afterbeing told Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

inspectorswill access their properties<br />

wearing body cameras and with apolice<br />

escort for nassella tussock inspections.<br />

Abouthalf adozen farmershave locked<br />

ECan out of their properties for several<br />

yearsbecause they allegeongoing<br />

instances of staff reporting on other<br />

information unrelated to the primary<br />

purposeoftheirvisit.<br />

Rural Advocacy Network chairman<br />

Jamie McFadden says arecent meeting<br />

called between ECanand the farmers<br />

following notification of the regional<br />

council’s intention to enter properties has<br />

failed to heal the rift.<br />

He saysthe tone of the meeting now<br />

means the half­dozen farmers who<br />

originallydenied access are being joined<br />

by others, fearingtheir private property<br />

rights are under threat. The meeting,<br />

attendedbynew ECan chiefexecutive<br />

StefanieRixecker, did little to allay<br />

farmer concerns, Mr McFaddensays.<br />

Widerissues are alleged to include<br />

usingprivateproperty informationfor<br />

otherpurposes without the agreementof<br />

landowners,undertaking mapping of<br />

areassuch as wetlands without<br />

consultation or properprocess, alack of<br />

genuine collaboration, and manipulating<br />

processes to suit ECan’s agenda, such as<br />

its management of braided rivers.<br />

Waiau farmerand network vicechairman<br />

Grant Barbara, in an email to<br />

membersafter the meeting, saysshutting<br />

gates to ECanisnot about avoiding a<br />

nassella inspection. It was aboutECan<br />

Council denies liability over house<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The WaimakaririDistrict<br />

Council says it is not liablefor<br />

a‘‘leaky home’’ in Sefton.<br />

Acouncil statement<br />

maintains the maintenance<br />

regime needed for the house<br />

was specified in the code of<br />

compliance certificateissued<br />

in 2008 and the bestplace to<br />

resolve the matter wouldhave<br />

been in thecourts.<br />

‘‘Thecouncil maintains the<br />

best way of addressing this<br />

matter would havebeen<br />

through the courtswhere the<br />

advising the former owner and<br />

the council on code<br />

compliance, advising the<br />

current owners at the time they<br />

bought the property and<br />

subsequently,shouldhave<br />

beenconsidered,’’chief<br />

executiveJim Palmer says.<br />

The council received a<br />

deputation from the current<br />

owners of the Seftonproperty<br />

during its October meeting<br />

seeking areviewofa2018<br />

decisionregarding compensation<br />

for issueswith the mid-<br />

1990s earth-block home.<br />

The deputation and a<br />

subsequent meeting late last<br />

month betweenthe property<br />

ownersand the council<br />

provided an opportunity for<br />

the owners to sharenew<br />

information with the council,<br />

Mr Palmer says.<br />

‘‘Followingthe deputation,<br />

the council requested an<br />

updated report on the property<br />

mattertoconsider during its<br />

<strong>November</strong> meeting.<br />

‘‘The council has reviewed<br />

the matter and reconfirmed its<br />

previous decision that the<br />

mattershould have been<br />

addressedthroughthe courts.<br />

‘‘The council had reasonable<br />

Tensions rise over access<br />

From Page 1<br />

‘‘As stated at the meeting,<br />

the issues thatneed<br />

addressingare all of ECan’s<br />

makingthrough having<br />

ulterior motives or not<br />

followingproper procedures,’’<br />

Mr Barbara said.<br />

‘‘The closed-gate policy<br />

shouldcontinueand mineis<br />

now closed. Thisisavery<br />

effective toolatraisingour<br />

concerns, otherwiseECan<br />

wouldn’t havecalled the<br />

meeting.<br />

‘‘Theyobviously want to<br />

shut thisdown before it<br />

becomes more widespread<br />

in the region. Perhaps this<br />

needs to be adopted as a<br />

nationwide approach?’’<br />

He alsoexpressed<br />

concern about alack of<br />

knowledge and<br />

understandingoffarming<br />

hill and highcountry<br />

properties by ministers of<br />

the Crown, and some<br />

elected regional<br />

councillors.<br />

‘‘While they throw all<br />

farming practices underthe<br />

same set of policies we are<br />

on avery slippery slope.’’<br />

Another Hurunui farmer<br />

said the toneofthe meeting<br />

was set in the first 30<br />

seconds, with the ‘‘typical<br />

ECan arrogance’’ becoming<br />

apparent.<br />

In an emailtoMs<br />

Rixecker afterthe meeting,<br />

which he sharedwith the<br />

want to change things,and<br />

win the trust of farmers, but<br />

the opening address by a<br />

staff member had basically<br />

negated the purpose of the<br />

meeting.<br />

‘‘I was veryimpressedand<br />

very proudofthe farmers<br />

that spoke. Everyone spoke<br />

eloquentlyand passionately<br />

and no-oneshouted.<br />

‘‘At the end of the<br />

meeting, and we had gone<br />

full circle, Icame to the<br />

conclusionthat there was a<br />

hiddenagenda, and by hook<br />

or by crook ECanwas<br />

wanting to enforce access to<br />

these farms thathave shut<br />

their gates.<br />

‘‘It seems strange that the<br />

issue is brought up this year,<br />

when there is anew council<br />

and newchief executive.<br />

‘‘Surely,waiting another<br />

<strong>12</strong> monthswould have<br />

enabled achance for<br />

positive engagementswith<br />

the affected farmersto<br />

resolve the issues.<br />

‘‘I am very disappointed,<br />

Stefanie, because Ireally<br />

thought that finally ECan<br />

was going to change its<br />

attitudetowards the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>farmersand<br />

work withthem in apositive<br />

and pragmatic fashion.<br />

‘‘It seems we still have a<br />

long way to go, given the<br />

attitudeofsome staff within<br />

Danny says he is often up at his<br />

Anglers didn’t need to catch a<br />

fish to enter the competition.<br />

They only had to present their<br />

licence to go in the prize draw.<br />

There were thousands of dollars<br />

of prizes provided by<br />

Christchurch Hunting and<br />

Fishing.<br />

As well as recording weight and<br />

length, Fish &Game staff<br />

removedscales,otoliths and<br />

stomach samplesfrom selected<br />

fish for age and diet analysis.<br />

The otolith is an ear bone<br />

which records the age and carries<br />

achemical signature of where the<br />

fish is from. They can be analysed<br />

by Fish &Game to assist in<br />

managementofthe fishery.<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>Fish &Game<br />

chief executive Rasmus<br />

Gabrielsson said the fish were in<br />

excellentcondition across the<br />

different speciesand there were<br />

good numbers.<br />

‘‘It bodes well for the domestic<br />

tourism season.<br />

‘‘The high country is part of the<br />

uniqueness of the <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

fishery.<br />

‘‘Nowhere else in the world do<br />

anglers get to fish in such<br />

beautifulscenerysoclose to a<br />

major populationcentre,’’he<br />

says.<br />

‘‘These lakesare easy to get to<br />

and have healthy populations of<br />

fish that give anglers the chance<br />

to get ameal for the table, with<br />

only aday trip from the city.’’<br />

Mayor welcomes new maintenance bylaw<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Dan Gordon has welcomedthe passingof<br />

abylawhechampioned lastyear.<br />

The Waimakariri mayorwas pleased to<br />

see his colleagues approve the Property<br />

and Maintenance Bylaw, which he<br />

proposed in January 2019, at lastweek’s<br />

council meeting.<br />

‘‘It gives the council some additional<br />

tools in the toolbox to deal with issues of<br />

long grassinour district,’’ he says.<br />

The bylaw gives the opportunity to<br />

respondifunkept sections become a<br />

problem, he says.<br />

‘‘We have heard reports of issues where<br />

sections are not being maintained as they<br />

should,sothis provides the opportunity<br />

for our stafftowork with those<br />

landowners to get this resolved.<br />

‘‘When Iwas working on this in the<br />

early days,Ihad alot of feedback from<br />

residents in Rangiora, Kaiapoi and<br />

Pegasusinparticular.’’<br />

Councilspreviouslyhad the power<br />

under the Local Government Act (2002) to<br />

respondtoovergrown sections, especially<br />

if they posedafire risk. This authority<br />

passed to Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand undernew regulations in 2018.<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The Waimakariri District Council is<br />

asking the Pegasus and Woodend<br />

communities to report illegalorantisocial<br />

activity in Gladstone Parktothe<br />

police.<br />

The appealfollowsmany complaints<br />

from residents and visitors who have<br />

seen people riding quadbikes and<br />

motorcyclesingrassed areas of the park,<br />

southofHakatere Road.<br />

The council saysthe actions of afew<br />

people are causingboth anoise nuisance<br />

and safetyconcernsfor park users.<br />

Greenspace manager Grant MacLeod<br />

reminds people thatriding motorbikes<br />

or other motorvehiclesinparksis<br />

dangerousand not allowed.<br />

“We don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun,<br />

but parksare used by children,families<br />

and sportsgroups, and they aren’t an<br />

appropriate place for vehicles.”<br />

“Residentsvalue our open spacesand<br />

should be able to use themsafely,<br />

without putting up with excessivenoise<br />

or anti­social behaviour.”<br />

GladstonePark has several sports<br />

fields, adog park, tennis courts and<br />

children’s playground.<br />

Recreationaluse of motorbikes, quad<br />

bikesorany motorisedvehicle is not<br />

allowed in any part of the park.<br />

The council encourages membersof<br />

the communitytospreadthe word and<br />

contact police if they spotissues.<br />

designatedareas alongthe north and<br />

southbanks of the Waimakariri River<br />

Millions for district upgrades<br />

Covid­19 recovery and the park­and­ride<br />

projects were discussed at last week’s<br />

Waimakariri District Councilmeeting.<br />

Councillors signed off on $10.35 million<br />

in spending on three waters projects over<br />

the next two years,which are subject to the<br />

government’s $8.02mstimulusfunding<br />

allocated to the district.<br />

The projects will now be included in<br />

next year’s2021/31Long Term Plan. They<br />

include upgrades to the PoyntzsRdwater<br />

source, the Fernside sewer, the Loburn<br />

Lea sewer, West Eyreton and Summerhill<br />

storage,centralRangiora capacity andthe<br />

Ohokawaterstorage, as wellasOxford<br />

seweroperational improvements, and<br />

waterand sewer extensions at Tuahiwi.<br />

Funding for the $18.13m Kaiapoi<br />

stormwater and flooding improvements<br />

project was also signedoff, with $9m<br />

coming fromthe government’s ‘‘shovel<br />

ready’’ projects fund. The bulkofthe<br />

remaining $9.13m willcome from the<br />

Kaiapoi urban drainage fund, whichwill<br />

increase the drainage rate for Kaiapoi<br />

ratepayers from $305 to $452per property<br />

for the 2023/24 financialyear.<br />

Councillors voted to bringforward part<br />

of the $4m park­and­ridefund set aside in<br />

the 2018/28Long Term Plan to allow the<br />

new projects in Kaiapoiand Rangiora to<br />

be completed for nextyear’sopening of the<br />

2025,subject to minor amendments.<br />

Business and centres adviser Vanessa<br />

Thompson said staffwere workingwith<br />

Enterprise <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> to develop<br />

themedmaps to help market the district.<br />

Cr Kirstyn Barnett saidWaimakariri’s<br />

targetmarketwas still‘‘friends and family,<br />

but we have abit of competition now’’.<br />

‘‘And it’s not just theadventurous. The<br />

seniors spend the mostmoney in our<br />

district, so we need to attract them, too.’’<br />

Mayor Dan Gordon welcomed the<br />

strategy. ‘‘I was reallyinterested that<br />

Auckland is now our new Australia...<br />

Peopleare goingout and exploring our<br />

country, so this is agood opportunity.’’<br />

Given Waimakariri’s mountains and<br />

rivers‘‘andeverything in between’’, Cr<br />

Niki Mealings wondered if the district<br />

coulddevelop something similarto<br />

Hurunui’sAlpine Pacific Triangle.<br />

Water contaminated<br />

Aboil water notice has been issued for<br />

the Cust Water Supply after the<br />

discovery of E. coli in routine testing.<br />

The water is being chlorinated and<br />

the Waimakariri District Council is<br />

working to determine the<br />

contamination source.<br />

Drinking water should be boiled<br />

continuously for aminute.<br />

The council is asking residents to<br />

inform any neighbours or friends on<br />

the scheme who may not be aware of<br />

the situation.<br />

ECAN RESPONDS OVER ACCESS ISSUES<br />

By STEFANIE RIXECKER, chief executive<br />

of Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

On <strong>November</strong>3,Iattended acommunity<br />

meeting with interestedparties to discuss<br />

concernsarising from nassella tussock<br />

inspections and associated property<br />

access.<br />

In addition to around20local<br />

landowners,the meetingincluded<br />

representativesfrom the <strong>North</strong>ern<br />

Biosecurity Advisory Group,the Hurunui<br />

WaiauUwha WaterZone Committee,<br />

Hurunui District Counciland<br />

Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong> councillors.<br />

Key membersofEnvironment<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>’s biosecurity and zoneteams<br />

were also in attendance.<br />

The issuesthat wereraised werenot<br />

limited to nassella tussock. Manycentred<br />

on historicconcerns and asense from<br />

some of the landowners present that they<br />

had lost trust in ECan.<br />

Whileitwas arobustand at times heated<br />

discussion, having the chance to listenand<br />

respond to community membersdirectly<br />

As partofthat discussion,welooked at<br />

ourseven­day after­hourshealthcare<br />

facility, whichthe board committedtoat<br />

my public meeting following our<br />

community­led petition.<br />

We foughthard for this win and Iwant<br />

to ensure the timeframes for delivering<br />

after­hours healthcare to residents<br />

continues to be prioritised.<br />

South Link HealthServices announced<br />

last year that theyhad tendered<br />

successfully to build and run aseven­day<br />

integrated family health service fromthe<br />

health hub site.<br />

It was encouraging to hear from<br />

Andrew that the boardwill soon<br />

announce the signing of the leasefor the<br />

newfacility, with its opening on trackfor<br />

next year. Iwill continue to monitor<br />

progress on this important new facility.<br />

It was an honour to lay awreath with<br />

our community and speak as local MP at<br />

therecent commemoration of the Battle<br />

of Passchendaeleatthe Kaiapoi<br />

Cenotaph. Our losses on what is knownas<br />

NewZealand’s blackest day represented<br />

atragedy for our country and we continue<br />

to be humbledbythe spirit of those who<br />

answered the callofduty.Wewill<br />

remember.<br />

was avaluable opportunity.<br />

We haveoffered to review the nassella<br />

tussock programme with the communityin<br />

the new year.<br />

Our aim is to reach aco­designed<br />

solution thatboth acknowledges<br />

community concerns and reflects our<br />

statutory obligations. We alsoacknowledge<br />

that there are historic issuesalongside<br />

new challenges, whichwarrant us having<br />

more regular discussions. On that basis, we<br />

have committedtoquarterly discussions<br />

with the community.<br />

While we arecertainly not yet there in<br />

terms of aresolution, with agreatdeal of<br />

koreroand mahiaheadofus, thiswas an<br />

importantstep on the journey. Nassella<br />

tussock is aparticularchallenge in <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> and it is important thatour<br />

staff are delivering to the overall need of<br />

the community.<br />

Developing better ways of working<br />

together will be important with more<br />

significantissues in the future, such as the<br />

Essential Freshwater reforms and Te<br />

Reduction in plastic use supported<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The Waimakariri District<br />

Council is backing central<br />

government efforts to reduce<br />

plastic use.<br />

Councillorsendorsed a<br />

submission to the Ministryfor<br />

the Environmentonreducing<br />

the impact of plastic on the<br />

environmentduringlast<br />

week’s council meeting.<br />

The submission, prepared<br />

by council staff,supportsthe<br />

overall directiontoreduce<br />

plastic waste, to phase out<br />

single­use plastics, and to<br />

address thelabelling of plastic<br />

products as biodegradable or<br />

compostable.<br />

‘‘Manyofthe claimsfor<br />

degradability amounttolittle<br />

more than greenwash,’’ the<br />

submission says.<br />

‘‘We welcome the proposal<br />

to phase out these itemsuntil<br />

such time as genuinedegradable<br />

and household compostable<br />

items are available.’’<br />

The councilalso calls on the<br />

governmenttoplacethe<br />

responsibility for product<br />

stewardship back on<br />

manufacturers.<br />

‘‘This helps increase<br />

producer responsibility<br />

throughproductstewardship,<br />

andcreate economic<br />

incentives for the use of<br />

recyclable plastics.<br />

‘‘We anticipate that this will<br />

also reduce public confusion<br />

andmake it easierfor<br />

Waimakariri communities to<br />

make goodrecycling choices.’’<br />

Mayor Dan Gordon<br />

described it as an important<br />

submissionand welcomed its<br />

thrust to introduce more<br />

productstewardship.<br />

Cr Kirstyn Barnett said it<br />

willwork only with anational<br />

directiveand by workingwith<br />

manufacturers.<br />

‘‘Wedohave aresponsibility<br />

as consumers not to buy it<br />

unless it’s 1, 2and 5, if you can<br />

avoid it.’’<br />

Cr NikiMealings welcomed<br />

central governmenttakingthe<br />

lead, but noted past governments<br />

had imposed rules<br />

without providingthe toolsto<br />

The sensible path to<br />

sustainable dairying<br />

There is no doubt that New Zealand has<br />

the perfect climate to produce milk<br />

profitably from pasture.<br />

However, the challenge facing farmers<br />

today is to maintain good milk<br />

production and at the same time reduce<br />

their carbon footprint.<br />

Alltech® E­CO2 assesses the<br />

greenhouse gas footprint of the farm<br />

using international standards and<br />

provides the producer with management<br />

and nutritional advice aimed at<br />

addressing overall production efficiency<br />

and improving the carbon footprint.<br />

The programme has further<br />

opportunities to link with the in vitro<br />

Fermentation Model (IFM) laboratory in<br />

New Zealand.<br />

This next level of service evaluates the<br />

performance of the feed, as well as<br />

making afarm­specific laboratory<br />

assessment of greenhouse gas emissions.<br />

An identical programme in Ireland<br />

has produced arelevant case study.<br />

Eleven dairy farms in Ireland showed<br />

an average reduction of 8percent in<br />

their carbon footprint (measured in CO 2<br />

equivalents) after one year, with 50kg<br />

less feed per cow being consumed and<br />

56kg more milk solids per cow being<br />

produced.<br />

Areduction in the carbon footprint of<br />

this size is equivalent to taking 383 cars<br />

off the road, or 107 fewer people taking<br />

round­the­world flights, without losing<br />

cow performance —another no brainer!<br />

For more than 40 years, Alltech has<br />

been developing its business around<br />

science­based technology and<br />

developing tools to assist dairy farmers<br />

in New Zealand to be efficient and<br />

profitable, while maintaining<br />

production and taking care of the<br />

environment.<br />

Alltech’s commitment was recently<br />

highlighted in the formal commitment to<br />

the United Nations Sustainable<br />

Development Goals (SDGs).<br />

In July last year, Alltech committed to<br />

nine of the 17 SDGs that aligned most<br />

closely with the company’s core<br />

business.<br />

In summary, improvements in feed<br />

quality and animal well­being have a<br />

direct effect on overall production<br />

efficiency. Ahealthier animal better<br />

absorbs nutrients and the feed<br />

conversion efficiency is improved.<br />

Better performance means less<br />

greenhouse gas per litre of milk<br />

produced.<br />

If you are interested in knowing your<br />

farm’s current carbon footprint and how<br />

you can improve greenhouse gas<br />

emissions without losing milk<br />

production and revenue, be proactive<br />

instead of reactive, and contact your<br />

Good care crucial to long careers<br />

Awarm bed, plenty of rest<br />

and ahearty meal can all<br />

contribute to the health of<br />

working dogs.<br />

Astudy on working dogs<br />

has revealed they are<br />

vulnerable to developing<br />

musculoskeletal injuries or<br />

illness.<br />

Massey University<br />

partnered with Vetlife to<br />

conduct research involving<br />

<strong>12</strong>6 owners and 641 working<br />

farm dogs in Otago and<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

Veterinarian Dr Lori<br />

Linney, of Alexandra, who<br />

led the study, said an average<br />

working­dog career lasted<br />

until the age of seven, but<br />

some would retire early<br />

because of injury.<br />

The study collected data<br />

over four years on feeding,<br />

housing, general health<br />

practices, training and<br />

condition, disease and injury,<br />

as well as career duration.<br />

No other study to date had<br />

included this information<br />

and it was hoped the findings<br />

would contribute to<br />

improving the health and<br />

wellbeing of working dogs.<br />

The breed or gender did<br />

not make amajor difference<br />

to the number of injuries.<br />

Common issues included a<br />

reduced range of motion and<br />

swelling of the carpus or<br />

stifle bones of the leg, while<br />

the hip was the most common<br />

site of pain.<br />

Some ways to help improve<br />

the health of working dogs<br />

were preventing them<br />

jumping from heights where<br />

possible, keeping them warm<br />

in winter, allowing time for<br />

warm­up and cool­down of<br />

muscles, giving them periods<br />

of rest, and good nutrition.<br />

‘‘Even if they do show signs<br />

of musculoskeletal injury or<br />

disease, there are many<br />

things your veterinarian can<br />

do to make them more<br />

comfortable and keep<br />

working,’’ Dr Linney says.<br />

‘‘We also recommend that<br />

owners take care when<br />

IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE<br />

STARTED THINKING LIKE AFARMER.<br />

You have enough to do without worrying about the perfect drench programme. To help, we<br />

went back to basics to create the Turbo ® 3-stage parasite control programme for growing cattle.<br />

With four world-first products that combine the most effective ingredients for higher potency,<br />

better safety and coverage of key parasites at the right times – including resistant strains. It’s<br />

innovative, reliable and available exclusively through leading veterinary practices nationwide.<br />

buying working dogs that they<br />

consider conformation and<br />

existing conditions that may<br />

limit their working future.<br />

‘‘A dog should be carefully<br />

examined before purchase.’’<br />

Working dogs are an<br />

essential part of asheep and<br />

beef farming operation, she<br />

says. ‘‘We recommend<br />

working­dog owners take<br />

steps to prevent the onset and<br />

severity of these injuries to<br />

help prolong their working<br />

dog’s career.’’<br />

Facial eczema<br />

on the move<br />

Achangingclimatemeansstock in some<br />

non­traditional facial eczema (FE)areas<br />

will be at greaterrisk fromthe diseasein<br />

manager of farmingexcellence, Dan<br />

Brier, says.<br />

“We have already seen it spread into<br />

the top of the South Island,soitwouldbe<br />

prudent for sheepfarmerstothinkabout<br />

usinggenetics now to future­proof their<br />

flocks.’’<br />

He says even if commercial farmers<br />

started this year with ateam of highly<br />

FE­tolerant rams,itwould take six years<br />

of breeding before any significantdegree<br />

of tolerance was bredinto the flock.<br />

The New Zealand sheepindustry has<br />

been proactive about identifying and<br />

selecting for FE tolerant genetics, so<br />

commercial ram buyers arewell­placed<br />

to benefitfrom generationsofbreeding<br />

by stud breeders in high­risk areas.<br />

FE tolerance is included in the<br />

recently launched nProve genetic<br />

selection tool.<br />

Dan says it is as simpleasmoving the<br />

slider for FE under the health traits<br />

section.This willgenerate alist of<br />

breedersbenchmarked for FE tolerance<br />

and the search can then be refined to<br />

breed, typeand/or location.<br />

Otherprogrammes that indicate merit<br />

when it comes to breeding towards FE<br />

toleranceinclude Genetic TrendGraphs,<br />

Ramguard Flock Status, FE Gold and<br />

TraitLeaderlists (found on Sheep<br />

Improvement Ltd).<br />

“Mostimportantly, commercial<br />

farmers looking to include FE tolerance<br />

in their selection criteria should talk to<br />

theirram breeder and ask themabout<br />

whether they havebeen selectingfor FE<br />

toleranceand for how long,” Dan says.<br />

Some residents fall short<br />

over recycling efforts<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Oxford has been enjoying mixed results<br />

when it comes to recycling.<br />

Waimakariri district councillor<br />

Wendy Doody says asuccessful<br />

AgRecovery day was held at the Oxford<br />

Transfer Station last week, but there<br />

have been some disappointing results<br />

from bin audits among urban residents.<br />

‘‘When it comes to rubbish, some<br />

Oxford residents really do need to tidy<br />

up their act.<br />

‘‘Your recycling bin is not arubbish<br />

bin; it’s for recycling,’’ she says.<br />

‘‘They do have to work on it and they<br />

have to work on it fast, because they<br />

could have their bins taken off them.’’<br />

The problem is not unique to Oxford<br />

residents, as several residents across the<br />

Waimakariri district have fallen into<br />

bad habits when it comes to what goes in<br />

the recycling bin since the lockdown.<br />

‘‘What it all comes down to is the<br />

consumer needs to be alot more<br />

careful about what they buy,’’ Cr Doody<br />

says.<br />

‘‘We have been athrowaway society<br />

for such along time and it’s time to<br />

change.’’<br />

She was pleased with the response to<br />

last week’s AgRecovery day, where 19<br />

customers from local farms visited the<br />

Oxford Transfer Station.<br />

In all, 700kg of plastic containers were<br />

crushed, which was enough to fill a<br />

20­foot container.<br />

Christmas fun planned<br />

Christmas is coming to Oxford.<br />

Planning is under way for the town’s<br />

annual festive season events to ensure<br />

there is plenty of fun for all ages.<br />

Santa Claus will pop in for the annual<br />

Oxford and Districts Lions Christmas<br />

Parade on Sunday, December 20.<br />

Once again the parade will leave<br />

from Burnett Street at <strong>12</strong>.30pm, with<br />

Santa taking up his usual position at<br />

the back.<br />

The parade finishes at the Oxford<br />

Showgrounds, where there will be a<br />

bouncy castle and ice creams for the<br />

children, and the Lions food caravan<br />

will be operating.<br />

Once again, there will be prizes for<br />

the best floats, best­decorated bike and<br />

boys’ and girls’ fancy dress.<br />

The Oxford Santa Parade is<br />

organised by the Oxford Lions, on<br />

behalf of the Oxford Promotions Action<br />

Committee and is made possible thanks<br />

to funding from the Waimakariri<br />

District Council.<br />

The popular Christmas Eve Carols in<br />

the Park will be back on the night<br />

before Christmas, with Santa expected<br />

to make afleeting appearance.<br />

The event is being held in the<br />

Pearson Park village green from 7pm to<br />

children home to bed before Santa<br />

makes his deliveries.<br />

Toot for Tucker returns to Oxford on<br />

Tuesday, December 1, to restock the<br />

food pantry at the Oxford Community<br />

Trust before the Christmas rush begins.<br />

Hanmer to<br />

feel the beat<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

The largest interactive drum show in<br />

Australasia willbestaged in Hanmer<br />

Springs this month.<br />

Rhythm Interactive willhold a<br />

performance at the Hanmer Springs<br />

School on Saturday, <strong>November</strong>21, at<br />

1pm.<br />

DirectorJohn Boon says it is afamilyfriendly<br />

performance. The audience will<br />

have lots of fun, with drums provided.<br />

Rhythm Interactive was formed in 2003<br />

and initially was targetedtowards<br />

corporateevents.But in 2008John<br />

decided to introduce the interactive<br />

drum show to schools.<br />

Threeshows are offered—ajunior,<br />

middle school and asenior show —<br />

incorporating arange of themes.<br />

The shows also embrace many of the<br />

school competencies such as<br />

participating and contributing, relating<br />

to others and managing self. Most other<br />

touring schoolperformances offer<br />

students ashow where they watch<br />

performers on stage.<br />

However, with a Rhythm Interactive<br />

performance,the audience becomes the<br />

stage. All the studentsare involved,<br />

together as one right from the start.<br />

‘‘Every one of us has rhythm,<br />

irrespective of our musicalbackground.<br />

Our physical bodiesare riddled with<br />

natural rhythmscalled biorhythms and<br />

the most obviousbody rhythmisour<br />

heartrhythm.’’<br />

Rhythm connects people, John says.<br />

Not asingle word is spoken throughout<br />

the 60­minute performance.<br />

Tickets, available at the schoolonthe<br />

day frommidday, are $15 for adults and<br />

$10 for children (aged5to13).<br />

Anew eye to the sky for Oxford<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Oxford’s viewofthe heavens is<br />

set to get largernext year.<br />

The OxfordArea School<br />

Observatory’s new Meade<br />

<strong>12</strong>­inch telescopehas finally<br />

arrived and is in the process of<br />

beinginstalled,volunteerChris<br />

Hawessays.<br />

‘‘We are getting there in small<br />

steps. The first hurdlewas the<br />

new telescope is designed to be<br />

used on legs so we had to source<br />

an adapter platefrom Meade<br />

whichtook six weekstoarrive.<br />

‘‘Then the bolts for the new<br />

mounting platewere not<br />

included and we had to source<br />

these.’’<br />

The telescopeisnow mounted<br />

and volunteershope to give it a<br />

few testruns overthe summer.<br />

But with the days getting<br />

longer, the public will have to<br />

wait until daylight savingends<br />

in April next yearbefore it is<br />

open for public viewing.<br />

The observatory’s old10­inch<br />

telescope is to be mounted<br />

outside, which means larger<br />

groups will be able to be hosted<br />

at open nights and events.<br />

Open nightshave proventobe<br />

so popularthat the observatory<br />

had to restrictnumbers to 15 at<br />

atimeover winter.<br />

Unlike theold telescope, the<br />

new one is computerised,<br />

making it easiertotrain<br />

telescope operators,so<br />

volunteers hope to be able to<br />

open on every clear night over<br />

winter.<br />

‘‘With the old telescope,we<br />

had only one personwho could<br />

operate it, so that meant we<br />

were pretty restricted in what<br />

we could do,’’volunteer Erik<br />

Vermaat says.<br />

Mr Vermaat has been teaching<br />

his new ‘‘GoingDeep’’course<br />

this term, which explores<br />

cosmologyand the depths of the<br />

‘‘known universe’’.<br />

It means he will be able to run<br />

asequence of four courses<br />

duringterm time nextyear:<br />

‘‘Exploringthe Solar System’’,<br />

‘‘Leaving the Solar System’’,<br />

which looks out to 500 light years<br />

fromEarth, ‘‘Exploring the<br />

Milky Way’’ and ‘‘Going Deep’’.<br />

‘‘Exploringthe Solar System’’<br />

will be offeredinterm one and,<br />

by then, the fate of three<br />

missionstoMars, including<br />

Nasa’s PerseveranceRover, will<br />

be known.<br />

‘‘Mars will definitely be in<br />

focus and there is so much<br />

happeninginSolar System<br />

research, withthe discovery of<br />

new comets and asteroids,so<br />

therewill be alot to discuss,’’ Mr<br />

Vermaatsays.<br />

Therewill also be apractical<br />

astronomy course, ‘‘The<br />

RhythmicSky’’, on offer next<br />

year,which makesuse of the<br />

telescope to help learners<br />

understand‘‘how celestial<br />

The Rangiora Library is<br />

offering book lovers the<br />

chance to purchase abroad<br />

range of books for just $1 each<br />

in the lead­up to Christmas.<br />

‘‘We usually have books for<br />

sale at the Rangiora Library,<br />

but they are normally $2<br />

each,’’ the library’s weekend<br />

supervisor, Kay Goldsworthy,<br />

said last Sunday.<br />

All of the books on offer are<br />

in good condition but haven’t<br />

been out on loan for two years<br />

or more and are now surplus<br />

to requirements.<br />

They cover awide range,<br />

with everything from The<br />

Complete Book of Canaries,by<br />

G.T. Dodwell, to Create Your<br />

Own Dream Home,byLizzie<br />

O’Prey, The Secret Olympian,<br />

by Anon, The Editor’s Wife,by<br />

Clare Chambers, plus many<br />

sagas, thrillers, science<br />

fiction and travel books.<br />

Kay said it would be good to<br />

sell the books, for people to<br />

read and then possibly pass<br />

on to someone else to enjoy,<br />

which was preferable to<br />

dumping them.

Rangiora’s Te Matauru Primary<br />

students have anew 10 metre by 6metre<br />

sandpit.<br />

Christine Tallot from Harcourts and<br />

Justin Busbridge from subdivision<br />

developer Townsend Fields were<br />

behind the addition to Rangiora’s<br />

newest school, which took shape during<br />

the recent school holidays.<br />

The pair approached deputy principal<br />

Rachele Poole looking for an<br />

opportunity to give to the school.<br />

Rachele opted for asandpit for Years<br />

3to8students, an item that was at the<br />

top of the student’s wishlist.<br />

The sandpit was donated by Townsend<br />

Fields and includes hydraulic lids to the<br />

storage boxes, raised sides, asandpit<br />

cover and 22 cubic metres of golden<br />

sand.<br />

Justin worked with the school to<br />

design the sandpit, which is built with<br />

natural timbers, in keeping with other<br />

playground equipment.<br />

As the truck delivering the sand was<br />

too heavy to drive on the school grounds,<br />

the sand was delivered to the carpark<br />

and the Te Matauru parent community<br />

helped wheelbarrow it to the pit and<br />

shovel it in.<br />

The sandpit has been ahit with all<br />

students and is continually used<br />

throughout the day to enhance learning<br />

experiences, as well as during break<br />

times.<br />

The Te Matauru Primary Unite team<br />

(the PTA) is raising funds through<br />

sausage sizzles and adisco to buy<br />

sandpit equipment. Agrant from Pub<br />

Charity has been sourced by the school<br />

to buy asun shade cover in preparation<br />

for summer.<br />

Peter shares some woolly tales<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> shearer<br />

Peter Casserlyhas hung up his<br />

blade afteradding his name to<br />

another world record.<br />

The 72­year­old master blade<br />

shearer came out of retirement<br />

earlier this year to compete in<br />

the 60th Golden Shears in<br />

Masterton,before being<br />

invited to shearaspecialsheep<br />

at the Poverty Bay A&PShow<br />

last month.<br />

‘‘I don’t think you everretire;<br />

it’s like ridingabike.<br />

Somebody’s always got apet to<br />

shear or acouple of sheepon<br />

their lifestyle block to be shorn.<br />

You just fade away in the<br />

finish,’’ Peter says.<br />

‘‘At the end of the day the<br />

anxiety and the tension of it all<br />

is getting too much.<br />

‘‘And Ihad to knockoff the<br />

booze for aweek before going<br />

up to Gisborneand do some<br />

training.’’<br />

Peter learned to bladeshear<br />

working with the Karaitiana<br />

brothers fromTuahiwi,who<br />

‘‘werefamous in shearing in<br />

the area’’.<br />

‘‘I usedtodoalot of shearing<br />

in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> in my day<br />

and was shearing all round<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> and Otago.’’<br />

Competing in blade<br />

shearing, he won the golden<br />

bladesatthe <strong>Canterbury</strong>A&P<br />

Show in 1975 and 1976, and was<br />

world blade shearing<br />

champion in 1980 at Masterton.<br />

In 1976,hebroke the world<br />

blade shearing record,<br />

shearing 353 sheepinaninehour<br />

near Mt Somers.<br />

Two years earlier,Peter<br />

entered the Guinness World<br />

Records afteropening 100<br />

oysters in three minutesand<br />

three seconds in Christchurch.<br />

MovingtoOmarama, he<br />

becamethe localpublican for<br />

13 yearsfrom 1992, and ran the<br />

Omarama Shears for several<br />

years, where he wonthe New<br />

Zealand Merino shearingtitle.<br />

Over the years, Peter has<br />

been invited to shearcelebrity<br />

sheep, including Shrek, Big<br />

Ben and Suzy.<br />

Coming out of retirement,<br />

Peterplaced third in the open<br />

bladeshearing competition at<br />

this year’s GoldenShears.<br />

‘‘Gizzy Shrek’’ escapedfrom<br />

Wairakaia Station, near<br />

Gisborne, about five years ago<br />

and was foundroaming in a<br />

neighbouringforestryblock.<br />

‘‘They had seen it on several<br />

occasions, but it was too wily,’’<br />

Petersays. ‘‘It had along tail<br />

and no ear tag, but it was quite<br />

calm when Igot to it.’’<br />

While ‘‘Gizzy Shrek’s’’ fleece<br />

is notasheavyassome of the<br />

famous sheepPeterhas shorn<br />

over the years,the fleece<br />

length off the shoulderwas<br />

measured at 58cm—3cm<br />

longer than the previous world<br />

record set in Masterton in 2018.<br />

It took15minutes to give<br />

‘‘GizzyShrek’’ the haircut, with<br />

the fleece weighing in at<br />

14.5kg,much lighterthan<br />

Are lifestyle blocks athing of the past?<br />

Will Council's Plan Review stop<br />

4.0ha lots?<br />

There isanew District Plan coming, and we expect<br />

major changes to the minimum lot size for rural<br />

subdivisions, in some or most parts of the District.<br />

It was intended for release mid <strong>2020</strong> however this<br />

was delayed due to the national Covid-19 lockdown<br />

and is now projected to take place March 2021.<br />

So, if you own 8.0 or more hectares (20 acres) of<br />

rural land in Waimakariri District and you’ve been<br />

considering subdividing, now is the time to have a<br />

chat to your local surveyors, Survus Consultants<br />

about your options.<br />

What is the Waimakariri District<br />

Plan?<br />

The District Plan is the Council’s planning rulebook<br />

and governs how people can build on or develop<br />

land in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

As well as making sure that future development is<br />

sustainable and protects our natural resources for<br />

generations to come, the Plan ensures that new<br />

development meets regulatory requirements like<br />

our National Planning Standards and the Resource<br />

Management Act. It also supports growth in the<br />

region - the Waimakariri District is booming and<br />

needs arobust set of rules to make sure it can<br />

continue to grow well into the future.<br />

The District Plan is reviewed every 10 years to<br />

make sure it’s up to date with the needs of the<br />

community, and current regulations. Itwill be back<br />

under review early next year, with the updated plan<br />

scheduled for release in early/mid-2021.<br />

We’ve had a thorough read of the Waimakariri<br />

2048 District Development Strategy -which is the<br />

Council document that underpins the District Plan -<br />

and we expect the new plan to include changes to<br />

the rules and requirements around subdivisions.<br />

What arethe current rules for<br />

rural subdivisions?<br />

The current Waimakariri District Plan allows for<br />

rural subdivision and building, with a lot and<br />

dwelling density of 4.0ha being required (and<br />

certain other criteria).<br />

What arethe proposed<br />

changes?<br />

Until the updated Plan is released, we won’t know<br />

the full details -but there are strong indications<br />

that the minimum lot size for subdivisions will<br />

increase.<br />

Simply put: it’s likely that if you want to<br />

subdivide, 8.0 hectares (2x4halots) will no<br />

longer be enough -you’ll need alarger piece of<br />

land.<br />

The Waimakariri 2048 District Development<br />

Strategy says; “Whilelifestyle lots are afeature of<br />

the District and many enjoy the open spaces, the<br />

most frequent comment made during early<br />

community consultation was adesire to restrict<br />

Dan and Craig fromSurvus Consultants on site discussing aproject.<br />

further subdivision of rural land into lifestyle lots [...]<br />

Based on the feedback received the Council will<br />

explore increasing the minimum rural lot sizes in<br />

parts of the District.”<br />

Council also noted that over the last decade, 73% of<br />

all new rural houses were on lots between 4-4.99<br />

hectares in size and that if this trend continues<br />

more than 3600 new lifestyle lots would be<br />

created by 2048.<br />

What does this mean for you?<br />

If you own 8.0ha or more of rural zoned land, &<br />

have been considering subdividing, don’t waste<br />

time. March 2021 is not far away, and the Council<br />

require a fair amount of information to go to<br />

Council in support of asubdivision application.<br />

If you secure your subdivision consent now, it’ll be<br />

valid for five years -sowhile you don’t have to<br />

subdivide straight away you can lock in your<br />

consent before the rules change, and preserve your<br />

slice of rural paradise!<br />

Give our friendly team acall oranemail and we<br />

can talk you through the application and consent<br />

process. 0508 SURVUS or hello@survus.co.nz

Resurgent Cheviot<br />

thumps Weedons<br />

Competitionleaders Weedons suffered its<br />

first loss of the country cricketseason on<br />

Saturday after an unsuccessful roadtrip to<br />

Cheviot.<br />

in the latest round of the CRV Ambreed<br />

Country Premier One Day<strong>2020</strong>/21<br />

competition.<br />

Solid contributions by the top five<br />

batsmen, led by ahalf­century from Archie<br />

Redfern, and ablistering 42 runs off23<br />

balls from Will Smith, helpedset up the<br />

dominant win at Cheviot Domain.<br />

Sam Clarke,who grabbed fourwickets,<br />

was the pick of the bowlersfor Weedons,<br />

which was disappointed to gift 31 extras.<br />

The Weedons chasespluttered,losing its<br />

first wicketinthe third over,and never got<br />

going, crumbling to be all out for109.<br />

It was an unfitting farewellfor Weedons<br />

player/coachSam Wilson, whose tireless<br />

work for the club will be sorely missed.<br />

Big win for Ohoka<br />

At Mandeville, abig shout for leg before<br />

wicketwent the way of bowler Rhys Mariu.<br />

It resulted in the dismissalof<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> player HenryShipley for 47<br />

and helped swing abig victory for Ohoka<br />

over Darfield on Saturday.<br />

Shipley’sinnings was the shining light in<br />

Darfield’s disappointing first innings of<br />

What’s happening in your<br />

community…<br />

Vehicles in Parks Endangering Community<br />

Council are asking the Pegasus and Woodend<br />

communities to report illegal or anti-social<br />

activities inGladstone Park to the Police.<br />

The appeal follows numerous complaints from<br />

residents and visitors who have seen people riding<br />

quadbikes and motorbikes in grassed areas of the<br />

park, south of Hakatere Road. The actions ofa<br />

few people are causing both noise nuisance and<br />

safety concerns for park users at various times of<br />

the day and night.<br />

Council’s Greenspace Manager Grant MacLeod<br />

reminds people that riding motorbikes or other<br />

motorised vehicles in parks is dangerous and<br />

not allowed.<br />

“We don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but parks are<br />

used by children, families and sports groups -they<br />

aren’t an appropriate place for vehicles,”<br />

says Grant.<br />

Gladstone Park has anumber of sports fields used<br />

by community sports clubs, adog park, tennis<br />

courts and children’s playground.<br />

“Residents value our open spaces and should be<br />

able to use them safely, without having to put up<br />

with excessive noise and anti-social behaviour,”<br />

he said.<br />

Recreational use of motorbikes, quadbikes, or any<br />

motorised vehicle is not allowed inany part of<br />

the park.<br />

Community’s Unsung Heroes Celebrated<br />

at Awards<br />

Each year, the Waimakariri District Council<br />

celebrates the people who have made great<br />

contributions to the District.<br />

Now intheir 29th year, the Community Service<br />

Awards formally recognise the substantial<br />

commitment of the unsung heroes who work<br />

quietly in the background making our community a<br />

better place to live.<br />

Whether it’s for sport, youth, family, church,<br />

education, community or earthquake response, we<br />

want to make sure these volunteers are thanked on<br />

behalf of our community. This year, anew Mayor’s<br />

Award for exceptional community service has also<br />

been introduced.<br />

"There are alot of people doing tremendous<br />

voluntary work in the Waimakariri District,” says<br />

Mayor Dan Gordon. “Many fly under the radar<br />

without recognition. However, we would like to<br />

acknowledge these very humble people for their<br />

considerable contributions. It is the least we can<br />

do, on behalf of agrateful community, to say<br />

thanks to people who go the extra mile to give<br />

outstanding service."<br />

Mayor’s Award recipients: David Ayers, Gary Boot<br />

and Brian Hoult.<br />

Community Service Award recipients: Marilyn<br />

Ayers, Bob Balanos, Liz Duke, Clay Griffin, Judith<br />

organised an informationsharing<br />

‘‘I thinkpeople oftenassume<br />

Madeleinesaystheresidents<br />

and they may rarely see their<br />

Social isolation among the<br />
