Second world championship in the bag
West Melton’s Hamish Macdonald is the world enduro champion for a second time.
• By Andy McGechan
HAMISH Macdonald has
clinched another world
championship title.
The West Melton rider
wrapped up the FIM Junior
Enduro GP World Championships
title, his second
consecutive world enduro
crown, in Portugal last week, a
thrilling bookend to the FIM
125cc Youth Enduro GP World
Championships title he won
last year.
It has been a stellar season for
Macdonald – he had also been
home in New Zealand briefly

Bid to
avert
forest fire
destroying
homes
• By Matt Slaughter
PEOPLE LIVING near a forested
area in Darfield will be told by fire
chiefs tomorrow how to get out if
a blaze breaks out over summer.
McHughs Forest Park has been
identified by Fire and Emergency
New Zealand as a potential hazard
due to its close proximity to
residential properties and businesses
and the abundance of fuels
which come from these.
Darfield deputy chief fire officer
Ken Muscroft said the Lake Ohau
fire last month, which destroyed
48 buildings and burnt through
5040ha of land, underpinned why
a meeting is necessary.
“We haven’t had any [fires]
there [the forest park] yet, that’s
the main thing. We’re getting
prepared in case.
“I think if you look at Lake
Ohau you get a good idea [why],”
he said.
He does not know if the forest,
which he said is near a large number
of houses, could experience
a blaze like Lake Ohau but it is
important people are prepared if
the worst happens.

GOOD ON landlord John

for chipping in to make the

On page 5 today we share
the back story on why bollards
have gone in. The photo
of the vehicle in the dairy is a
fairly self-explanatory reason
why.
Giltrap and the community
committee put in $4000
each for the 10 bollards
which will give businesses
and pedestrians alike the ideal
safety net when mistakes
are made by people behind
the wheel.
Community committee
secretary Pauline Hayes said
they had been approached
by residents and business
owners.
The community committee
listened and the outcome has
been a great solution.

MORE PEOPLE have moved
to the district from other parts
of New Zealand than anywhere
else in the country this year.
Selwyn Business Group member
and Harcourts Rolleston
manager Richard Tait says good
employment opportunities and
affordable housing in the district
may be reasons for this.
Statistics New Zealand’s latest
data on internal migration gain
as of the end of June, shows 2100
people have moved to the district
this year.
Tait said the district and
Canterbury as a whole have
bounced back from the impacts
of Covid-19 faster than other
parts of New Zealand, making it
a desirable place to move to and
work in.
“In real estate, if you look at
what you were doing and what
you missed out on, we’ve recovered,
eh. Most businesses, from
what I can see, have recovered
and now are moving forward,
that would be a fair assessment
but I can’t speak for everyone,
that would just be within our
[business] group.”
He said some of the most
common New Zealand locations
people are moving to the
district from are Auckland and
Hamilton.
“I think everyone’s had a look
at their lives after Covid and
thought well, you know what,

we could go and live in [Selwyn]
and be debt-free and find some
form of job and get rid of a
massive mortgage and live quite
comfortable, so that’s really
noticeable,” he said.
Tauranga had the second most
internal migration, with 1900
people moving there from other
parts of New Zealand.
Twelve-hundred people moved
across the country to Waikato,
which had the third-largest
growth.

Championship decided
in final enduro round
• From page 1
Macdonald was only back in
the country at that time because
of international chaos caused by
Covid-19, but it meant he was
able to race the full Kiwi series for
the first time since 2017.
The Sherco rider’s build-up for
the 2020 world championships
began immediately.
“Once the borders reopened
and racing rescheduled,
I was on a plane and
back to England. The
team had a race bike
in England and I
was straight into the
final British sprint
championship rounds
managing three of the
four outright wins and
taking the E2 British
sprint title,” he said.
“To change things up a
bit and push the fitness, I took on
the big boys Graeme Jarvis and
Billy Bolt in the British extreme
championship round, a bit of fun
and I was happy to jump on the
podium with them.”
The 21-year-old has clearly
followed in the wheel-tracks of
such Kiwi enduro legends as
Stefan Merriman, Chris Birch
and Paul Whibley, packing up his
helmet a boots and headed offshore
to seek fame and fortune
Hamish
Macdonald
for the first time in 2018.
This year was only his third
season in Europe, but he had
already set tongues wagging
on his debut in the youth class
of the FIM Enduro GP World
Championships in 2018.
Finishing no worse that sixth
through his debut season in 2018
and celebrating two wins in Italy,
Macdonald wound up a close
second overall in the
youth series, finishing
behind Chile’s Ruy
Barbosa and ahead of
Britain’s Daniel Mundell,
and last year he was just
as impressive.
He ended his 2019
campaign with an
18-point winning
margin over Italy’s
Matteo Pavoni, with
another Italian, Claudio
Spanu, claiming third overall,
while Frenchman Nathan Bererd
(Husqvarna) and then Spain’s
Sergio Navarro (Husqvarna)
completed the top five for 2019.
This year it was his own Sherco
team-mate, French rider Théo
Espinasse, who threatened
him most, but Macdonald
eventually clinched the 2020
FIM Junior Enduro GP World
Championships title at the final
round.

DESTROYED: A meeting is being held in Darfield tomorrow to avoid scenes like these
after the Lake Ohau fire last month.
High winds increase fire risk
• From page 1
The meeting at Darfield
Recreation Centre at 7pm will
cover the McHughs Forest Park
fire plan.
The plan was created by the
district council, FENZ police
and other organisations to
protect people in case of a forest
fire.
The meeting will cover
evacuation zones and what to do
if a fire breaks out.
The risk of fire in the forest
is greatly increased during
periods of high wind,
particularly a strong nor’west
that could blow embers from a
fire into Darfield.
Said Malvern Ward district
councilor Jenny Gallagher:
“We’ve got to prepare people
if there is an event and that
plantation goes up in flames,
especially if it’s a nor’west wind,
because there’s a lot of properties
on the east side of that plantation
that would be affected.
“It’s just in my mind, the
council are being very proactive
and preparing people for events
which, hopefully, will never
happen.”

$8000 bollards makes shops safer
• By Matt Slaughter
LINCOLN Convenience Store
owners Holly and Murray have
had two cars crash through their
store in the last few years.
It has come as a big relief for
the couple that bollards have
now been installed to protect
their store and others in the
Gerald St block of shops.
The 10 bollards, which cost
$8000, were jointly funded.
The block of shops’ landlord
John Giltrap put $4000 of his
own money towards them
and the other $4000 came
from the Lincoln Community
Committee’s discretionary
response fund.
Murray said the first crash
happened about three years ago
when a man in a four-wheeldrive
hit the gutter outside of the
store, got a fright and stepped
on the accelerator instead of the
break.
No one was hurt but said Murray:
“He buried his four-wheeldrive
right up in the back of
the shop. He could have wound
down the window and we could
have served him.
“It made an absolute mess and
it was scary,” he said
PROTECTION:
Murray and
Holly say
new bollards

store will keep

other shop
owners and
customers
safe. PHOTO:
GEOFF SLOAN
The second incident last year
was when a car was left in gear
and travelled forward through
the shop’s entrance. The damage
was not as bad this time but he
said both crashes forced the store
to close for a few days, leading to
loss of income.
Murray said it was lucky that
no one in the shop was injured
on both occasions and a relief
that no one at the block of shops
will be in future thanks to the
bollards.
“We’re just so pleased to have
them because it’s dangerous for
us.
“It’s safety, of course, for us
and people who work here and
for our customers,” he said.
Said Holly: “That’s a lot of
relief. In both of the accidents,
we were so lucky no one got
hit.”
Giltrap said he wasn’t willing
to wait for another crash to happen
and this is why he decided to
help pay half of the cost for the
bollards.
“There’s been two near misses,
it was time to put a protection
in.”
Community committee
secretary Pauline Hayes said
its decision to put some of its
discretionary funds towards the
DAMAGE: The four-wheel-drive vehicle
that crashed into the store three years
ago.
bollards was because “it was an
accident waiting to happen.”
“It was a health a safety issue
and we had been approached by
residents and also some of the
people who had their businesses
there in that block of shops.
“The community committee
took it on board and decided
to allocate some of our
discretionary funds towards it,”
she said.

ONE OF New Zealand’s
best-known cricketers will be
immortalised at the new Selwyn
Sports Centre.
The wooden floor sports
hall – half of the court space
at the centre at Foster Park –
will be named the John F. Reid
Courts.
Reid played 19 tests and 25
one-day internationals between
1979 and 1986. He still holds
the record as the fastest New
Zealander to score 1000 runs in
test cricket, set in 1985.
His career test batting average
of 46 ranks him amongst the top
10 players in New Zealand test
cricket history.
After a stint as Auckland
Cricket chief executive, he
moved to Selwyn in 1996
working for New Zealand
Cricket as cricket operations
manager and high performance
manager.
Through these roles he led the
establishment of NZC’s national
high performance centre at
Lincoln University, which
included the development of
the international standard Bert
Sutcliffe Oval.
Reid has been the district
council’s major projects
property manager since 2015,
overseeing some significant
building projects.
The four sprung wood courts
in the hall are due to be laid
in the next fortnight as the
centre marks another milestone
towards opening to the public in
time for the 2021 winter sport
season.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
the naming will acknowledge
both Reid’s work as a champion
for the courts and community
sport in Selwyn, and his huge
contribution to sport across the
country.
Reid also spent nine years
in senior roles at Sport New

Zealand (previously SPARC)
supporting community

and establishing a national
programme to identify and
develop talented young athletes.
A champion of community
sport, Reid was an inaugural
trustee of the Selwyn Sports
Trust and advocated to the
district council on the need for a
sport and recreation centre that
prioritised use by community
level providers within the
district.
“We’re lucky to have one
of the country’s best sports
administrators working with a
passion for the people of Selwyn
on projects that will serve the
community for a long time,”
said Broughton.
“John has led the
implementation phase of
developing Foster Park and
continues to provide the
leadership to deliver the
Selwyn Sports Centre, ensuring
the district gains a facility
that will serve the whole

Drinking
water meets
standards
THE DISTRICT’S drinking water
has received a clean bill of health
for complying with drinking
water standards under the Health
Act.
This comes after last year
about 3000 Doyleston and Leeston
residents were issued a boil
water notice after high levels of
E coli were found in one towns’
water supply.
Now, the district’s water supplies
have been found to complying
with national drinking water
standards in all areas assessed in
the Ministry of Health’s annual
compliance report for 2019/20.
The report, has been presented
to the district council and shows
nitrate levels are below the
maximum allowable levels and
that all the council’s supplies
were fully compliant for bacteria
in both the treatment plants and
reticulation.
The areas considered in the
report included bacteriological,
protozoa and chemical compliance.
For protozoa compliance, eight
schemes were not compliant for
the full year. These were schemes
that were being upgraded during
the year or that will be upgraded
in this financial year.

Rolleston post the earthquakes.
It’s one of the fastest growing
areas in the country.
“Five million [dollars] will
also be used to fund short-term
classrooms at schools in the
South Island facing severe
pressure from rapid roll growth,”
he said.
The funding will go towards a
total of 28 classrooms in schools
in Canterbury, Otago, Nelson
and Tasman, with a total of 616
student places.
The other $7 million will
deliver permanent roll growth
classrooms at Prebbleton School,
Waimea College in Nelson, St
Martins School in Christchurch,
and Grants Braes School in
Dunedin.
“Families rightly expect their
children to be able to learn in
warm, dry and comfortable,” said
Hipkins.

ABOUT 18 years ago Glenn
Anderson left a corporate
position with Nestle for a
hands-on role as a supermarket
manager.
He and his wife Tracy Anderson
haven’t looked back since
and are now the new owners of
New World in Rolleston.
They started in their new role
about five weeks ago. They have
previously managed supermarkets
in Nelson, Waimate and
Christchurch.
Glenn said some of the things
that have kept him in the supermarket
industry for so many
years are the people he gets
to serve and the teams he has
worked with.
“It’s your team that you really
enjoy and your costumers as
well. So it’s a combination of
both of those.”
Rolleston residents have been
friendly and good to deal with.
“It’s amazing how many of the
customers have come up to me
and introduced themselves.
“It’s a really, really friendly,
good community store,” he said.
Tracy said taking over the
ownership of the Rolleston store,

will be a challenge but she is
excited about it.
“We were looking forward to
the challenge of a bigger store
so, for us, we’re obviously a
husband and wife team so we
complement each other quite
nicely.
“For us, it was a business challenge
but also, it was a wee bit
about coming back to our roots,”
she said.
There have been many memorable
moments during Glenn’s
time managing supermarkets
but a few stand out.
Said Glenn: “We had a nude
man walking through the shop
one time, so we had to try and
get him under control a little bit.

said.
Glenn and Tracy have made
the move to Christchurch with
their two children Xavier and
Bree, who have both left school.
Glenn said it is exciting to
be able to serve the Rolleston
community and the store prides
itself on its selection and service.

Back in the sulky and winner’s circle
• By Joshua Smith
IT’S BEEN more than a decade
since Jo Herbert saluted the
judge, but her winning drive
behind Blue Chip Delight at
Motukarara Raceway on Sunday
showed she hasn’t lost any of her
talent.
Blue Chip Delight made a solid
start to sit midfield before Herbert
asked him to improve threewide
down the back straight
to sit outside leader Eastwood
Isabella.
They hit the lead at the top of
the straight and didn’t relinquish
their advantage, holding out the
fast-finishing The Kaik to win by
a neck, with a further head back
to Bettor Believe It in third.
Herbert was delighted to get
the win after such a long hiatus.
“It felt really good, it’s been a
long time between drinks,” she
said.
“I was pleased with the horse,
he went well.”
A pioneer for female drivers
in New Zealand, Herbert won
193 races in the cart before she
was forced to step away from the
game 10 years ago to look after
her son Brooklyn.
“At the time it was in the toohard
basket, he wasn’t that well,”
Herbert said.
“It got too hard, so I just focused
on him. He is 13 now so he
is quite good at self-managing.”
SUCCESS: Jo Herbert brings Blue Chip Delight back to the birdcage after winning at
Motukarara on Sunday.
Herbert returned to the industry
last year after the urging
of trainer Stephen Boyd and she
landed her ideal job with current
employers Colin and Julie De-
Filippi, for whom she drove Blue
Chip Delight on Sunday, earlier
this year.
“I was initially influenced by
Stephen Boyd in getting me out
there, that definitely helped,”
Herbert said.
“I now work for Colin and
Julie, you couldn’t ask for nicer
people.
“When I was pregnant he
ended up training my trotter. I
kept working him right up until
I was 30 weeks pregnant and
then sent him to Colin. He has
always been like my father in
harness racing.”
When Herbert heard the De-
Filippi’s were looking for another
worker, she said she was quick to
get on the phone, even though
she was on the other side of the
world at the time.
“When I heard he was looking
for someone I was straight on
the phone from Spain. We went
over there for five weeks back in
February,” she said.
“We were quite lucky because
two days after we got home
Barcelona was in lockdown. We
timed perfectly.”
Herbert’s win on Sunday has
brought her just six wins shy of
200 driving career wins, a mark
she would have tried to attain 10
years ago had she known she was
so close.
“At the time when I stopped
I hadn’t actually looked at that
(career win tally),” Herbert said.
“It was more that I had to do it
(give up driving) because of my
son.
“If I had known back then that
I was that close I wouldn’t have
given it up quite so soon.”
Herbert said DeFilippi has
been trying to get her back in the
cart for some time, but she has
been happy working behind the
scenes.
“He has been trying to, but I
have been quite happy just gearing
up, it hasn’t fazed me,” she
said.
But with three horses in the
field of the Country Feasts Pace
(2170m) on Sunday, DeFilippi
was able to twist Herbert’s arm
into taking the drive behind
Blue Chip Delight, and they were
both rewarded.
“It was great to get the win, but
I am just happy to be working
for him,” Herbert said.

Save water
now or face
restrictions
– council
RESIDENTS ARE urged to be
smart with their water use this
summer to avoid restrictions.
District council infrastructure
group manager Murray Washington
said after a drier winter
than usual, the National Institute
of Water and Atmospheric
Research is predicting a hot, dry
summer.
He said now is the time to get
into good habits to ensure there
is no need for restrictions.
“Water supplies are often
placed under pressure during
summer as many people
decide to water their lawns
and gardens at the same time.
So we’re encouraging people
to think about their water use.
If everyone plays their part
we should be able to avoid
restrictions and provide water
at a good pressure all summer
long,” he said.
The district council is
recommending people limit
watering to after 9pm, to keep it
away from peak usage times and
ensure the sun doesn’t quickly
evaporate the water, which will
reduce the effectiveness of the
water use.
LIAM CUNNAH was the
driving force behind social
workers becoming a permanent
part of the military.
Now, the Glentunnel resident
has been named New Zealand
Defence Force civilian of the
year.
Cunnah provides professional
clinical social work services to
personnel at Burnham Military
Camp as well as their family
and, in his spare time, the wider
Canterbury community.
He was part of a trial to introduce
social workers to the NZDF
four years ago – a trial which led
to them becoming permanent
employees. Cunnah said the
importance of providing this
service to personnel could not be
under-estimated.
“We live in an ever-changing
and unpredictable world which
can place significant pressures
on soldiers and their families.
“As the types of issues become
more complex in their presentation,
a more holistic approach to
wellness support and management
is required, and this is
where social work comes into its
own,” he said.
Cunnah said the trusting

relationship built between local
command teams and the social
work service was crucial.
“Without this, I would not
be in the position I am to have
been nominated and chosen as a
recipient of this special award.
“As someone who prefers to
be behind the scenes promoting
the successes of others, this is an
unfamiliar yet humbling experience
to be receiving this award.
“The success of the Burnham
social work service has been
supported and enhanced by the
exceptional work of my fellow
colleagues within the Burnham
integrated wellness team,” he
said.
Last year, Cunnah undertook
postgraduate study in family
therapy, as well as having studied
Gottman couples therapy
this year.
“I chose to do this as it was a
need that I identified around the
ever-changing relationship challenges
faced by soldiers and their
dependents.
“As social workers we are
innately driven by our desire
to promote and enhance the
self-determination and empowerment
of both our clients and
often the wider organisations
that we are employed by,” he
said.
Cunnah also supports the
wider Canterbury community
in his own time by providing
clinical input as a board member
for Salisbury Street Foundation,
a rehabilitation centre that aims
to reintegrate serious offenders
back into the community.
His citation said his dedication
to the work he did within the
community demonstrated he

stolen in similar burglaries in

“It [copper wiring] has a monetary

statistics have revealed the district

New Zealand.
Harker said the recent burglaries
do not bring this into question
but burglaries of construction
sites are becoming more common
in the district due to its developing
nature.
“It’s probably just a trend.
There’s a lot of building here, there
is that opportunity for people to
actually target those sort of areas.
With all that building it’s just an
opportunity for dishonest people
to steal stuff.”
Harker recommended people
building houses should install
security cameras on construction
sites. He said police are currently
investigating if any footage was
taken of the burglaries over the
long weekend.

Surinder Tandon
LINCOLN resident Dr
Surinder Tandon is a
textile engineer with
a passion for weaving
together communities
of all cultures and
backgrounds.
Originally from New
Delhi, Tandon and his wife
Archna moved to New
Zealand in 1988. He had
just completed his PhD
in textile engineering and
landed a job at the Wool
Research Organisation of
New Zealand in Lincoln.
“They were doing a lot of
interesting work in textile
engineering and fabric
product development,” he
said.
Combined with his love
for cricket, he thought it
offered was the perfect
opportunity to mix career
and sport.
“But of course, New
Zealand is far away from
India. It was quite new, but
it was exciting and challenging.”
He credits his work colleagues
for helping him
settle into New Zealand
and connecting him with
other Indian families in
the area. They showed him
around, and he was able to
socialise with others in the
wider community.
While juggling his career
and the arrival of his two
children, Tandon got together
with new migrants

from India and formed a
“potluck social group” to
meet up during the weekends
for picnics and other
family activities.
In 1998, they then
formed the Indian Social
and Cultural Club which
is now the major Indian association
in Christchurch.
A member of the Lincoln
Rotary Club, he plays an
important role in bringing
the club’s CultureFest to
life for Canterbury residents.
It’s a festival where
various ethnic groups can
showcase their music,
dance and food, he says.
“Its culture galore!”
Since CultureFest made

A passion for weaving
together communities
A SERIES of drop-in
sessions to support people
into work, and employers
with staffing needs, is
kicking off across the
district.
Held at public libraries
in Leeston, Lincoln,
Rolleston and Darfield,
employment zone clinics
are sessions where people
can access one-to-one
support around job
seeking, redundancy, staff
retention and recruitment.
The sessions, presented
by Sarah Parker, work
broker for the Ministry of
Social Development, aim
to provide more support
for local communities,
assisting people into sustainable
employment, and
providing a personal and
quick service tailored to
their needs.
“Employment is still
going strong in the community
and businesses are
really open to supports
from MSD,’” said Parker.
“By being on the ground
in the community, I’m
able to tailor services to
the person or business
on a one to one basis,
assisting with their needs
directly. We’ve received
really positive feedback
by people surprised when
they discover the amount
of supports which are
available to businesses,”
she said.
MSD regional labour
market manager Regan
in 2004 more and more
cultural groups have been
participating and the event
has grown into the highly
anticipated annual district
council and Christchurch
Multicultural Council run
event in Lincoln.
It’s also an event that
aims to promote and
encourage social inclusion
and equality, and Tandon
believes it has become an
important vehicle for helping
to prevent cultural and
ethnic divisions.
It’s long way from the
early “potluck social
group” he formed with
other Indian migrants in
the early 1990s.
Tandon’s passion for culture
and community grew,
and he went on to represent
the Indian community
on the Christchurch
Multicultural Council, and
has been its president for
the last ten years.
“I grew a lot of passion
for serving ethnic communities,”
he said.
“Not just Indian communities,
but all communities,
including migrants
and refugees.”
Christchurch has over
180 ethnicities and has
become very diverse, he
said.
“I realised that the
needs of all migrants are
the same for settlement,
such as culture, language
barriers, employment
challenges and
homesickness, of course.”
Library sessions to cover
all aspects of employment
Jackson said it is important
employers and job seekers
are fully aware of the funding
and services currently
on offer to support them.
“The drop-in sessions
provide an opportunity
for people to meet with us
to discuss their needs, and
are an effective engagement
channel enabling us
to connect them to what is
available,” he said.
Both employers and people
needing work can drop
in during the session times
and have the opportunity
to talk directly with Sarah
about their employment
needs.
The sessions are free and
can be found on Selwyn
library Facebook pages.

Sporting champion to be honoured
at Selwyn Sports Centre
One of New Zealand’s leading sportsmen and sporting administrators will be recognised at the
Selwyn Sports Centre.
The wooden floor sports hall at the Selwyn Sports Centre at Foster Park will be named the John F.
Reid Courts.
The four sprung wood courts in the hall are due to be laid in the next fortnight as the centre marks
another milestone towards opening to the public in time for the 2021 winter sport season.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the naming will acknowledge Mr Reid’s work as a champion for the
courts and community sport in Selwyn, and his huge contribution to sport across the country.
Originally from Auckland, Mr Reid represented New Zealand at cricket in 19 Test Matches and 25
One Day Internationals. He holds the record as the fastest New Zealander to score 1000 runs in
test cricket, and his career test batting average is among the top 10 players in New Zealand’s test
cricket history.
He went on to be Chief Executive for Auckland Cricket before moving to Selwyn in 1996 to be
New Zealand Cricket’s High Performance Manager and Operations Manager.
In these roles he led the establishment of the Cricket National High Performance Centre at Lincoln
University, including the development of an international standard playing facility – the Bert
Sutcliffe Oval.
Mr Reid spent nine years in senior roles at Sport New Zealand (previously SPARC), supporting
community sport delivery nationally and establishing a national programme to identify and
develop talented young athletes.
A champion of community sport, Mr Reid was an inaugural trustee of the Selwyn Sports Trust
and advocated to the Selwyn District Council on the need for a sport and recreation centre that
prioritised use by community level providers within the district.
Mr Reid has been the Council’s Major Projects Property Manager since 2015, overseeing some
significant building projects, Council Group Manager Property Douglas Marshall says.
“We’re lucky to have one of the country’s best sports administrators working with a passion for
the people of Selwyn on projects that will serve the community for a long time. John has led
the implementation phase of developing Foster Park and continues to provide the leadership to
deliver the Selwyn Sports Centre.”
Council and Lincoln University supporting
businesses from the land
Lincoln University’s Centre of Excellence and the Council have teamed up to put on a special event
supporting Selwyn’s food, wine and agritourism businesses.
Food producers, artisans, cafés and restaurants are all invited to the event at Lincoln University from
4–6pm on Wednesday 2 December, which will see researchers from the university present on ideas to help
build capacity and upskill, along with opportunities to grow and strengthen networks between businesses.
The event will include presentations on research from members of Lincoln University’s Centre of
Excellence – Sustainable Tourism for Regions, Landscapes and People, including ‘Identifying and
communicating Selwyn’s food story’ and ‘Getting local produce on local menus’.
It will also double as an opportunity for people to meet and connect with other similar businesses. The
aim is to help build a network of food and beverage businesses, Council Group Manager Community
Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says.
“We know agriculture and agritourism are a huge part of Selwyn’s economy and we have some great
innovative and quality produce here. By getting those businesses together with restaurants, cafés and
others we’re hoping to encourage people to work together and take advantage of the opportunities we
have from the land.”
Anyone interested in attending can email tourism@selwyn.govt.nz for more information or to register.
The Proposed District Plan –
considering starting a new
home business?
The Proposed District Plan includes some new proposed rules that may
affect people starting a new business from home.
Under the proposed plan running a business from home continues
to be a permitted activity in both rural and residential areas, but
some rules around when you may need a resource consent are
proposed to change.
The main change is around the size your business premises can
be before you need to apply for a resource consent. New home
businesses will not need a resource consent if there are no more
than two staff who live off-site and the maximum floor area used for
the business is under 100m 2 in a rural zone, or 40m 2 if you’re in a
residential zone.
In residentially-zoned areas, the proposed rules would mean
business activity involving customer visits and/or deliveries, could
only occur between 7.30am–7pm and all business goods would
need to be stored indoors. In the current District Plan business
activity involving visits by customers and clients, is limited to
between 7am–10pm on any day.
In rurally-zoned areas, business activity involving customer visits and/
or deliveries, could occur between 7am–7pm. In the current District
Plan there are no limits on hours of the operation in the Rural Zone.
The changes being proposed are aimed at ensuring that home
businesses don’t potentially adversely affect the look and feel of
residential or rural areas. The changes are also aimed at striking a
better balance between making it easy to set up a home business
and encouraging bigger businesses to locate in the district’s
commercial and business centres.
It is important to note that these changes would only apply to those
starting a new home business and will not have effect until the
proposed plan is operational, which is expected to happen by the
end of 2022. If you currently run a business from home, you will not
be affected by the proposed change of rules.
Anyone interested in finding out more about how the proposed
changes to starting a new home business affect them please
contact the Council by calling 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or emailing
contactus@selwyn.govt.nz.
You can find out more about the Proposed District Plan
and make a submission until 5pm Friday 11 December at
selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.

It might not sound it at first, but the Selwyn Youth Council is a life-changing opportunity, Youth Council
member Inaki Cepeda says.
Applications for the 2021/22 Selwyn Youth Council are open for young people between 12 and 24 years
of age who live in Selwyn.
The Youth Council is made up of 12 members who are passionate about making a positive difference
for young people in Selwyn.
Inaki, who is part of this year’s Youth Council, says he did not know a lot about the Youth Council when
a member first suggested to him that he should apply, but he was glad that he did.
“It has been a really cool, life-changing experience. I’ve had so much fun, met so many people from
different townships, made so many friends and learnt new life skills. Everyone should try it. It may not
sound cool from an ad or an article, but it’s such a cool experience.”
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic restricting some of the things the Youth Council could do this year there
have still been lots of highlights, such as helping out with BOOST Bubble, posting encouragement and
activities to support young people during the lockdown – posts which reached close to 24,000 accounts.
Inaki has also helped with the Youth Council’s Passion Podcast series, interviewing Selwyn residents
about their passions and with a BOOST Halloween event supporting the Burnham Military Camp family
Halloween party.
Youth Council members have also presented to
Council on issues affecting youth, and hosted
the ‘What do YOUth think’ surveys which
this year gave young people in Selwyn the
opportunity to help design the youth space for
the Rolleston Town Centre.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the Youth Council
makes a valuable difference. “The Youth Council
has been an active part of making Selwyn a
great place to live. Anyone who wants to be
part of that and help make cool things happen
and support other young people should put
their name forward for consideration.”
Anyone interested can complete an application
online. Applications close Saturday 30
November. For more information or to apply
please visit selwyn.govt.nz/youthcouncil or

Exhibition showcases
district’s artists
THE ANNUAL Selwyn
Arts Heart Exhibition
sprung to life earlier this
month at the Rolleston
Community Centre.
It was attended by 280
people who visited from all
over Selwyn and Canterbury.
On display were 250
pieces of art made by artists
from the district.
The exhibition – supported
by the district council’s
Creative Communities
Fund – was open to artists
of any style and age.
It has hosted Canterbury
artist Henry Turner’s art
since he was 12, musical
instruments made out of
cake tins and the Selwyn
Embroiderer’s group.
Scheduled for April
next year, Selwyn Arts
Heart chairwoman Wendy
Rockhouse said she will
apply for the creative communities
fund again to
help cover the venue hire
and advertising expenses,
as she does every year.
“Without their funding,
we couldn’t run an exhibition.
Our exhibitions aren’t
money making exhibitions,
they’re held to give emerging
artists the opportunity
to participate in an exhibition,”
she said.
CREATIVE: Selwyn Arts Heart Exhibition
showcased 250 pieces created by artists in the
district.
Rockhouse has been
involved with Arts Heart
for 16 years. She is a firm
believer in art being good
for the soul.
Said Rockhouse: “I enjoy
seeing the new artists that
enter and the expression on
their face when they’ve sold
a piece of work. It brings
the community together,
it gives them a sense of
NEWS 19
well being. Art gives them
an avenue to express
themselves, they otherwise
might not have.”
To help with that, Arts
Heart only take 15 per cent
of the commission made
from the exhibition.

BACKYARD CRITTERS
A DELICATE little
moth endemic to Japan
is the azalea leaf miner
(Caloptilia azaleella).
Found almost worldwide
where its azalea host
is found, this brown
and yellow moth has a
wingspan of 10-13mm.
Moths often sit on their
posterior with front legs
stretched out beneath their
head. Adults lay eggs on
the underside of leaves by
the midrib.
When hatched, the
caterpillars are leaf miners
for the first half of their
larval life which creates a
blister on the underside
of the leaf. These mined
areas eventually turn a
characteristic brown. Once
mid-sized, larvae migrate

Weedons back on track
with hard-fought win
WEEDONS have bounced
back after their quest for a
perfect Canterbury County
premier one-day season
was undone, by beating
Southbrook with form
bowler Sam Clarke snaring
another four-wicket haul.
Clarke’s 4/39 in the previous
round against Cheviot
proved immaterial but
his 4/20 on Saturday was
pivotal as Weedons won by
four wickets at Southbrook
Park.
Opting to bowl first on a
tricky wicket was justified
as the hosts were unable to
gain any traction through
their innings before being
dismissed for 130 in the
penultimate over; opener
Sam Bing top-scored with a
brisk 27 from 28 balls.
Weedons made a solid
start to their chase with
Todd Inness making a
well-timed 41 while fellow
opener Jayden McIntyre
played the anchor role with
a patient 17 from 75 deliveries
to guide the innings
into triple figures before he
exited in the 26th over.
Southbrook then claimed
three wickets for five runs
but Arnav Deb eased
Weedons’ nerves with an
unbeaten 19, featuring four
boundaries.
Teams were often depleted
by frontliners absent on
representative duty, though
Cheviot were able to fill any
voids comfortably thanks to
a stunning senior debut by
Ronan Dillon.
The 15-year-old claimed
5/38 from his maximum
allocation of nine overs
to help Cheviot secure a
14-run victory over winless
Lincoln during seventh
round action.
Dillon’s emergence
enabled the hosts to defend
214/8 at Cheviot Domain, as
Lincoln could only muster
200/6 from their 45 overs.
Weedons’ Sam Clarke bowls a quick delivery to
Southbrook’s Damian Hansen.
Earlier, Jack Hyde (46 off
67) and Ryan Ellis (55 off
87) set a strong foundation
for Cheviot before Scott
Burnett (42 off 27) round
off the innings.
Lincoln’s chase was built
around a 107-run opening
partnership between Hugh
Paterson (80 off 108) and
Cameron Powell (31 off 61)
before tight bowling escalated
the asking rate.
Sefton ground out a
tough 13-run win over
North Canterbury rivals
Oxford-Rangiora at Pearson
Park on the back of
quality batting by two club
stalwarts – Tim Harrison
and Nigel Granger.
Batting in the unfamiliar
position of second drop,
Harrison anchored Sefton’s
207/7 with an unbeaten
85, a knock that dovetailed
with a 125-run partnership
with Granger (59) for the
sixth wicket.
Oxford-Rangiora had
solid contributions from
Lachie Stove (67) and Luke
Waghorn (33) but tight
bowling – personified by
Todd Waller’s concession of
20 runs from nine overs –
left the target out of reach.
A depleted Leeston-
Southbridge were unable
to compensate for the
unavailability of rep players
as Darfield eclipsed the visitors’
103/9 inside 16 overs.
Liam Foulkes set the tone
for a dominant triumph
with 6/14 from nine overs
as a makeshift line-up were
rolled in 27.1 overs though
Leeston-Southbridge were
still second on the competition
ladder behind
Weedons on net run rate.
Ohoka had the bye.
Short scoreboards:
Southbrook 138 (S Bing
27; S Clarke 4/20, J Richards
2/23, A Deb 2/25) lost
to Weedons 142/6 (T Inness
41; A Prouse 2/27, J Green
2/31) by four wickets.
Cheviot 214/8 (R Ellis
55, J Hyde 46, S Burnett 42;
R Dillon 5/38, E Paterson
2/20) beat Lincoln 200/6 (H
Paterson 80, C Powell 31, L
Robinson 30) by 14 runs.
Sefton 207/7 (T Harrison
85no, N Granger 59;
S Fleming 2/26, L Stove
2/30) beat Oxford-Rangiora
194/7 (L Stove 67, L Waghorn
33; M Laffey 2/39) by
13 runs.
Leeston-Southbridge
103 (L Foulkes 6/14) lost
to Darfield 107/3 (B Innes
31no) by seven wickets.

METRO
Look out for
Metro changes
Next week, Metro passengers will see
some timetable changes and different buses
on some routes.
New public transport contracts coming
into effect on Sunday 29 November bring
with them a host of benefits. Passengers in
the western and eastern suburbs will enjoy
increased frequency on Route 3 (previously
the Purple Line), while new electric and low
emission vehicles are gradually coming into
service across the network in the coming
months.
Buses may look different
The change in contracts sees many
services change to a different operator. The
consequence for passengers is that different
buses will be used on many routes from
Sunday 29 November.
If you are used to seeing a Red Bus
branded vehicle on your route, it may now
be a Go Bus branded vehicle instead, and
vice versa. Your bus might also be in the new
teal livery as it continues to roll out across
the network.

bus is the best way to confirm it’s your
service.
Timetables changes from Sunday
Environment Canterbury senior manager
public transport Stewart Gibbon says this
is the second of three stages of timetable
changes.
“We’ve phased the changes to reduce the
impact on our customers,” says Gibbon.
“The majority of changes being made this
month are necessary to implement the new
operator contracts and to ensure compliance
with changes to the Employment Relations
Act.”
Gibbon advises passengers to check now if
their timetable or operator is changing on 29
November, and plan ahead.
“Our Journey Planner tool allows you to
forward plan – you can plan your trip for 29
November onwards to see if the timetable
changes impact your usual journey,” he says.
A full list of all changes, including the
operator for each service and the timetable
from 29 November onwards, is available at
metro.co.nz

Netball
venues to
be shared
• By Chris Barclay
SELWYN NETBALL Centre
has agreed to split their Saturday
competition between the existing
headquarters at Lincoln and the
new Selwyn Sports Centre in
Rolleston.
After lengthy discussions between
clubs and the district council, Selwyn
Netball Centre president Andrea
James confirmed they would utilise
the $22 million indoor facility at Foster
Park, which is due to be opened
next April.
Some players had reservations,
from a social perspective, about
grades not being held throughout
Saturday.
“A lot of people go down there
for the whole day, coach different
teams, watch their children, maybe
umpire . . . that would be gone if
they all go indoors at different times
on different days,” Selwyn netball
stalwart Lyn Miles said.
“They (the council) couldn’t give
any one sport a whole day.”
James outlined the rationale for
playing the Saturday competition
between two venues, although the
detail on how it would be run is still
being finalised.
“This should result in more teams
being able to experience games
indoors and a shorter playing day,”
she said.
The year one to year four
programme is confirmed for the
new centre.
It’s our annual
Christmas

Friday 4th December

WINE 29
Cheeky reds belie price points
• By Mark Henderson
A RECOMMENDED retail price
is reached by adding a percentage
mark-up to the “standard price”
of a bottle of wine.
This can be indicative of the
final selling price when a retailer
buys a few bottles or a case; however,
lower-priced offerings are
often purchased on promotional
deals.
Buying five cases, a layer (14
cases), a half pallet (28 cases), a
pallet (56 cases) and so on will
make a significant impact on the
cost price.
Consequently, I’ve seen all the
$20-plus wines reviewed here selling
for under $20, which makes
them pretty smart drinking.
2017 d’Arenberg The
Stump Jump GSM
Price: $17.99
Rating: Very good
Smoke, earth, stones, a little oak
spice with berryfruit in reserve;
a wisp of salinity later. Raspberry
and berryfruit lead the mediumweight
palate that starts off feeling
light and airy but swells nicely as
it adds smoke and meaty touches
with nicely judged tannins.
Easy, uncomplicated drinking
that really hits the spot. Rather
moresish.
www.darenberg.com.au
2017 Yalumba Samuel’s
Collection Barossa GSM
Price: $26.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Perfumed fragrance, playing in
the raspberry/cherry spectrum
before shifting to more savoury
characters.
Rounded, silky mouthfeel, richness
and depth of flavour without
overt weight. Chocolate, black
tea, charry hints, sweetly fruited
yet nicely balanced by savoury
elements and fine tannins in
support. Juicy and very appealing
drinking.
www.yalumba.com
2017 Grant Burge Barossa
Ink Shiraz
Price: $23.99
Rating: Very good
Bold nose full of plum, char
and spices with fragrance building.
Noticeably sweet on the front
palate with liqueur fruits, fruit
cordial and berry jam; the luscious,
soft and slippery mouthfeel
underlining the viscosity to this.
Tangy berryfruit and raspberry
with freshening acidity help to
pare back the sweetness.
Unabashedly a crowd pleasing
style that will win a legion of fans.
www.grantburgewines.com.au
2017 I Am George
Langhorne Creek Shiraz
Price: $19.99
Rating: Excellent
Chocmint, blueberry, dark berries,
a wisp of tilled earth.
Ripe yet not overtly sweet with
lovely depth of flavour, fine tannic
grip, balancing acidity, and a long,
coffee and spice accented dry finish.
Time adds savoury nuances
and a tangy undercurrent, showing
its youthful side. This rises
above its price point, offering real
interest now, yet some potential
too.
www.iamgeorge.com.au
2017 Jacobs Creek Double
Barrel Shiraz
Price: $23.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Juicy dark fruits, eucalypt,
with evident volume on the
nose.
Dense and rich in the mouth,
a raft of fruit sweetness at first,
before moving to brooding dark
fruits and spices.
Structure in place here, flowing
to a tea-leaf, smoke and char-like
close. Approachability for the
neophyte drinker, yet lots of interest
for the wine enthusiast too.
www.jacobscreek.com
2016 Beresford McLaren
Vale Shiraz
Price: $26.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Lushly perfumed nose, milk
chocolate, mixed fruits. Time
adds smoke and savoury elements.
Depth of fruit here, yet
matched by acidity giving a crisp
brightness to the palate.
Plum and fruitcake elements
lead the way, a little eucalypt too
with tanginess growing on the
palate.
Still youthful but already drinking
rather well.

Try adding fruit to your main course
PRODUCE CAN sweeten your
traditional creations and add an
element of surprise.
Stone fruit or berries are not
normal ingredients you would
add to a main course but try these
easy recipes using blueberries and
peaches for a tasty change.
Blueberry, Chicken and
Mustard Pasta
Serves 4
Ingredients
500g skinned and boned chicken
breasts
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1½ cups pasta of your choice
1 small onion, diced
1 cup blueberries
Dressing: 250g creme fraiche or
light sour cream
1-2 tbsp Dijon-style mustard
2 tbsp milk, lemon juice
Directions
If the chicken breasts are large,
cut in half lengthwise. Season.
Heat half the oil in a frying pan.
Saute until lightly coloured.
Cover and cook for 12-15min,
turning occasionally. Remove
and cool slightly.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta
according to the packet instructions.
Saute the onion in the remaining
oil, until softened. Combine
ingredients for dressing.
Place blueberries in a large
bowl.
Using two forks, flake the
chicken. Place in the bowl with
the blueberries. Add the drained
pasta and onions. Gently toss.
Stir in the dressing. Serve warm
or at room temperature. Great
garnished with fresh herbs.
Corn, Coconut and
Coriander fritters with
Peach Salsa
Serves 4
Ingredients
Fritters:
2 cups whole kernel corn
2 eggs, separated
½ cup coconut milk
½ cup coriander leaves, finely
chopped
salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp self-rising flour
1-2 tbsp rice bran oil
Peach Salsa:
2 ripe peaches, halved, stoned,
peeled and thinly sliced
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp finely chopped rocket
pinch sugar
½ tsp chilli paste
Directions
FLAVOURS:
(Left) – Pasta
with mustard
and blueberries.
(Above) – Corn
fritters with
peach salsa.
Blanch and drain the corn.
Cool. Combine with the egg
yolks, coconut milk, coriander,
salt, pepper and flour.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick
frying pan. Take heaped tablespoons
of the corn mixture and
place in the pan. You will need to
work in batches.
Cook on low heat until bubbles
appear on the top. Flip over
and continue cooking until the
undersides are golden. Keep
warm in the oven while cooking
the remainder. You should have
12 fritters.
Meanwhile, combine the ingredients
for the salsa.
To serve, place one fritter in
the centre of each of four serving
plates. Top with a little salsa. Top
with another fritter, more salsa
and a final fritter. You will have
four stacks.
Great drizzled with a sweet
chilli sauce.

Contributors are Christchurch women Lorelei Jenner and Jenny Wilson and local
Jane Downes. Jasmine Keir’s studio is in Keri Keri and Debra Powell is from the
rural Waikato hamlet of Te Pahu.
Lorelei Jenner paintings are somewhere between abstract and landscape. The
images can be both familiar and interpretive, while at the same time mysterious,
atmospheric and other worldly.
Debra Powell’s alias in the pottery studio is ‘Little Betty’, her ceramic work has
strong narrative themes, exploring relationships between people and nature,
playing with convention and infusing the result with a gentle humour.
Oxidised copper artist Jasmine Keir endeavours to create and understand the
pure alchemy of the colours achievable using a vast variety of natural ingredients
to react and colour her copper panels.
Jenny Wilson has recreated a series of white porcelain moths these light
mysterious creatures are pinned in reference to museum specimens; others rest
on circles – an ancient Chinese symbol of the cycles of life, and of the cosmos.
Jane Downes’ delicate themes are fabricated in steel. “A joyful look at the
symbiotic relationship between bees and flowers and an observation of nature’s
sacred geometry and spontaneity.”

GARDENING 33
Use water to make a statement
AREAS OF interest in the
backyard include pools, ponds
and waterfalls – while plantings
are still an integral part of any
concept they’re being applied in
less traditional ways.
Today’s circulating pumps allow
you to enjoy the soothing sight
and sound of a water feature at
nominal cost. You won’t necessarily
have to call in teams of excavators
either – even a small water
feature can make a big impact on
the surrounding garden.
Let your creativity run riot. You
can build your feature around
anything from a Mexican or Grecian
urn, to a rustic watering can,
an old farm pump, pebbles, rock
forms or even an artfully formed
sheet of stainless steel.
A wall covered in ceramic tiles
or built from glass bricks with a
shimmering sheet of water running
down its face can create a
stunning backdrop for striking
leaf forms, especially when lit up.
Pebbles and rocks can bring
a softening, natural element or
equally a sense of theatre to the
garden. You might need some
professional help with this one,
especially if you’re attempting a
naturalised design. But in summer,
the sight of water cascading
down a fern-clad rocky face into
a cool, deep pool really is a thing
of beauty and something that

MY PRIDE AND JOY
Vintage cars at Hororata
The annual Hororata Highland Games
had a new attraction this year with the
addition of a selection of vintage cars on
display led by two rare vintage Scottish cars
in keeping with the Scottish theme of the
event.
“We got a couple of the oldest cars in the
country. It’s an important part of the early
fabric of early motoring in New Zealand,
and these cars played a large part in the
development of the country as well,” said
rally organiser, Malcolm McGibbon, from
the Canterbury branch of the Vintage Car
Club.
The Bonnie May of Argyll hales from
Alexandria in Scotland. Owned by Tom
and Jenny Stephens from Rolleston the
car was rebuilt from the remains of two
cars that Tom sourced from Drummond
in Southland in 1965 and Wigram in
Christchurch in 1971.
Of his first purchase, Tom said: “The
mechanicals were completely dismantled
and scattered around the farm. The chassis,
wheels and axles had been used as a farm
trailer around the farm for many years. The
wheels had steel bands welded to the rims
but time had taken its toll and only the hubs
were usable. We recovered an immaculate
brass petrol tank and gearbox and engine
completely stripped with many parts
missing. There was no steering or radiator.”
Once in possession of sufficient original
parts, Tom restored the 1905 Argyll with
the help of friends over a period of 10 years
adding radiators and other parts to his
collection from a clearance sale in the 1980s.
The Argyll has travelled 5,000 miles since its
first rally in 1987.
The Bennetts Family’s 1912 Albian was
also at the show. “1912 was the last year that
the Glasgow-based Albian Motor Company
made vehicles, before specializing in
gearboxes. They were very popular during
World War 1 as they were relatively simple
to fix,” said owner, Don Bennetts from
Christchurch.
This particular Albian was owned by
beer and spirit merchants. It was then lost
for a while and turned up at a car sale yard
just before World War 1. Apparently, it was
traded in for a bike, which the person used
to ride to Burnham to join the army.
Don says a market gardener in Governors
Bay bought the car and used it to take fruit
and vegetables to market. At some point the
car got away on the hill and crashed, ending
up in two pieces. The front half was used as
a saw bench and the back half as a trailer.
Members of Don’s family gathered up
the bits and started to restore it, and luckily
managing to find the missing radiator. By
1957 it was back on the road and has been
in the Bennetts family ever since.
Left: The 1905 Bonnie May
of Argyll was built from the
remains of two cars – its
rebuild journey spanning
from 1965 to 1987 when
the finished car attended
its first rally.
Right: The Bennetts
Family’s 1912 Albian was
one of the last Glasgowbased
Albian Motor
Company made vehicles
and spent a number years
as a wreck used for things
other than motoring.

Toyota Hilux helps home renovation
WE’VE BEEN busy at the Kiddie
household.
There’s new timber on the
house, new windows are going in,
there’s fresh paint, and in readiness
for a the painters to give the
fences a tidy-up I’ve had to trim
back a succession of shrubs and
small trees.
That on top of some landscaping
work I needed to do after a
drain was repaired. Throughout
all of these enhancements I’ve put
two new Toyota Hiluxes to good
use. I took the foliage to green
waste processing, building debris
to the transfer station, and I’ve
also been to the garden centre to
uplift two loads of pebbles to finish
the landscaping.
That’s the versatility today’s
double cab pick-up/utility offers,
it is the quintessential vehicle for
the everyday role, yet doubles as
a versatile carry-all when tasks
need to be completed, not to
mention it’s towing ability and
payload capacity – 3500kg and
around one-tonne respectively.
This evaluation focuses on
the SR specification Hilux, I had
two double cab variants in a
row – one a cab-chassis with an
aluminium flat deck, the other
was a standard wellside.
Toyota has done considerable
work on the Hilux, there’s been
an extensive change of look, it is
bolder and more aggressive on
the outside, while major interior
changes incorporate new display
graphics and the addition of a
larger touch screen in the centre
of the dashboard proper.
Mechanically, the mainstream
turbo diesel engine has had a big
boost in power, thanks to a larger
turbocharger. Toyota now claims
150kW and 500Nm a 15 per cent
increase for power and 11 per
cent increase in torque.
Of course, you can still buy the
Hilux with petrol power if you so
wish, but that option is limited
to two entry-point Workmate
models, both with just twowheel-drive.
The other 16 variants are all
diesel-powered, but you do have
the choice of manual transmission
in some of those, along with
just 2WD options.
Both variants I drove were
four-wheel-drive capable and
fitted with a six-speed automatic
gearbox.
While the Hilux is destined for
a working role, what Toyota have
done on the inside is to keep it
family-friendly, there are all the
VERSATILE: An aluminium flat deck on the cab-chassis
model provides a multitude of load carrying options
including carrying a load of pebbles for the Kiddie
landscaping project.
TOYOTA HILUX SR: Built for a working role.
features and there is as much
comfort as you can expect for
something built over a ladder
chassis and load-bearing suspension.
There are many car-like features
fitted to the Hilux and, of course,
the Toyota suite of SafetySense
technologies contribute to a
five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program rating.
I can also safely say the new Hilux
is smoother, while the power
is boosted remarkably, it hasn’t
lost its finesse, the engine throbs
away in typical diesel fashion,
but it isn’t loud and doesn’t seem
stressed when building towards
the top part of the rev band.
Interaction between the engine
and gearbox is fluid, shifts are
clean and smooth. Drive, of
course, is normally channelled
rearwards, electric switching will
engage the front axles in both low
and high ratio depending on the
driver’s preference.
It must also be mentioned
that the SR Hilux gets all of the
four-wheel-drive trickery that is
demanded in the working role. I
only used it for a short evaluation
purpose, and there are no surprises
there, even without deeptreaded
tyres the Hilux ute will
scale humps and mounds without
fear of getting stuck nor becoming
grounded thanks to 286mm
of clearance underneath.
On that subject little has
changed in terms of suspension,
• Price – Toyota Hilux SR
cab-chassis, $48,490
(wellside, $49,990)
• Dimensions – Length,
5255mm (5325mm);
width, 1855mm; height,
1815mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2755cc, 150kW, 500Nm,
six-speed automatic.
• Performance – 0-100km/h,
10sec
• Fuel usage – 7.9l/100km
the rear axle is still located by leaf
springs, while a civilised independent
wishbone system is fitted
up front.
My loads didn’t measure up to
anything that would challenge
the payload rating of the two
utes, but I can report both laden
and unladen the ride is perfectly
acceptable, so for those who
need to travel long distances
recreationally it’s good to know
the family will be well looked
after, even those seated in the
back will find there is satisfactory
rake on the seats.
I took both SR variants on a
high country run through the
Malvern Hills, with the boost in
engine outputs the Hilux feels
free and doesn’t require much
energy from the driver to keep
relaxed motion, and if you need
that mid-range boost for a highway
overtake, it fairly scampers
when the accelerator is given a
nudge.
Toyota also claims an 11 per
cent decrease in fuel usage, the
Hilux in SR form is rated with
a combined cycle average of
7.9-litres per 100km. At 100km/h
the engine isloping over at just
1800rpm, returning a 7l/100km
instantaneous figure, resulting in
around 9l/100km for both models
when I took them back to the
dealership.
One of the most notable
features about SR specification is
that it arrives with steel wheels.
This is something Toyota has
done with Hilux for a few years
now, if you want alloy wheels
you’d need to upgrade. I’m a big
believer in steel, they are stronger
and lighter and don’t detract
much from the aggressive look
of the new model. However, it is
something buyers might consider.
I’m due to drive two SR5
variants soon, and that is the high
grade specification rounding out
the series at $58,990. If SR-only
form is preferable you’ll save
around $9000, and with the cabchassis
model listing at $48,490
there are a wealth of considerations.
It’s always been that way
with Hilux, there is a ute for
every purpose and that’s why
it’s so popular, there are choices
that easily fill the working or
recreational role.

LOCATION, LIFESTYLE AND OPTIONS
The location, on the doorstep of our fantastic
alpine and river recreation environment and the
views to the Alps from the property are possibly
sufficient to convince a buyer without considering
the list of other features and benefits also on offer.
As well as being less than 50kms from Christchurch
and having good access to schooling recreation
and social facilities features include the perm
material 6 year old home and its mature garden
setting, the additional 8.0 Ha of yard and farmland
and approx 1600 m 2 of buildings and sheds
associated with a pig fattening business currently
run by the Vendors.
Whilst this will be of interest to those who may wish
to pursue continued activity in the pork industry,
this property offers significant land use and lifestyle
options and the vast array of buildings will be of
interest to a wide range of buyers.

Strong growth in real estate
13
Demand for properties in Canterbury
is currently very strong although, the
number of listed properties for sale
is significantly below what we would
normally expect leading into summer.
After several years of steady but slowish
growth, Canterbury real estate may now
be in catch-up mode, as low interest rates
and returning Kiwis spur on a market
seen to offer some of the best value and
lifestyle opportunities in New Zealand.
James
Twiss,
Harcourts
Four
Seasons
co-owner
Harcourts Four Seasons co-owner
James Twiss says sales have been “really
strong” in the past few months with
demand from expats, investors in the
North Island, first-home buyers and locals
looking to upgrade or change pace.
“It’s very much a correction or catch-up
on what has been a steady yet cautious
market over the last two to three years,”
James says. “Time will tell if it’s a boom
or not. However, there are several factors
that suggest more gains could be on the
way.” These include the new motorway
systems north and south of Christchurch,
which are opening up a much larger area
to commuting and convenient lifestyle
living, and swathes of new housing,
which are creating modern, desirable
communities that in turn generate
further interest. Nearby beaches, forests,
mountains and ski fields add to the
appeal.
James also states that even before
low interest rates are considered, buyer
confidence has been supported by good
affordability compared to other parts of
the country, a growing population and the
peace of mind of post-quake builds.
“The Selwyn and Waimakariri Districts
have always offered good, secure real
estate. We’re seeing the region continue
to develop and offer more to its residents,
and with that some really exciting and
valuable opportunities.”
Canterbury is expanding
With a network of offices within
and around Christchurch, Harcourts
Four Seasons is well positioned to play
a leading role in the region’s growth.
Branches are located in Hornby, Lincoln,
Rolleston Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Hanmer
Springs, Belfast and The Palms.
James says movement from fringe
areas to the city centre has been greatly
enhanced by new roading infrastructure,
opening up new markets that buyers have
been keen to embrace.
The Southern Motorway extension
streamlines the trip between Rolleston
and Christchurch, while the Northern
Corridor lessens the distance from
Christchurch to Kaiapoi and Rangiora.
“The access to jobs makes these areas
extremely good value. New developments
are being snapped up and there are
numerous subdivisions being worked
on throughout the area,” James says. “As
developments bring the city closer, the
stage is being set for ongoing growth in
popular lifestyle areas and new, familyfriendly
neighbourhoods.”
Support for lending
Interest rates have been reduced to
record lows and aren’t expected to rise for
years. Meanwhile, Loan to Value Ratio
(LVR) restrictions have been dropped
from 80 per cent to 70 per cent.
Mortgage payments are now often lower
than rents. This bodes well for investors.
For people who are ready to buy, the
Reserve Bank of New Zealand is ready to
help.
There is also an anticipated funding
boost in the pipeline as homeowners with
fixed interest rates see their terms expire
in the next couple of years and move to a
lower interest rate, freeing up a significant
chunk of money they can potentially
reinvest. As James indicated, this is one
factor that counts against waiting.
For anyone looking to buy or sell,
Harcourts Four Seasons has them
covered, he says.
“We’re part of a very large network,
including overseas contacts, and
being local means we know the area
exceptionally well.”
Harcourts Four Seasons is the largest
real estate firm in the Selwyn and
Waimakariri districts with more than 90
sales consultants across eight branches.
Harcourts has been named the
country’s most trusted real estate brand
by Reader’s Digest every year since the
award’s inception nearly eight years ago,
and has won the Quality Service Gold
Award for the past three years.
To get in touch, phone Harcourts
Four Seasons on 0800 789 1011 or visit

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
The rising popularity of lifestyle blocks:
Live the dream in Lincoln
Picture this: against a backdrop of the Southern
Alps, surrounded by the rural farmlands of Lincoln,
your architecturally designed dream home can
sit on solid, fertile land that’s perfect for leading a
self-sufficient life. Verdeco Park is a community-inwaiting,
ready for anyone who wants lifestyle block
without the commitment of 15-20 acres.
What’s the big deal?
It’s not just about living the dream. Families are
looking for space to custom-build their ideal lifestyle,
and many are doing it with help. Janelle Pritchard,
Marketing Manager for Verdeco Park, says: “There
are plenty of multi-generational homes going in. In
some cases, older parents are helping young families
to fund the build and then living in a second flat on
the property. They then have company as they grow
older. The bonus here, is that changes earmarked in
the Selwyn District Council plan mean these flats can
soon be rented out, creating a revenue stream for the
family.
85% of buyers in Verdeco Park are from the Selwyn
area, and are usually those who are onto their 3rd or
4th homes. There are also some overseas returnees,
and rural farmers who are looking to downsize but
aren’t prepared for a full city move.
What to look out for
Whether you’re using a home build company on
a smaller lifestyle section or using an architect and
private builder for your custom dream home, there
are things you still need to consider. Most important
are the services available to your boundary—power,
water, and waste. Lifestyle blocks typically have a
longer distance from house to boundary as well, so
you may need to budget for eco pumps to remove
your waste. In Verdeco Park, you’ll also get broadband
whereas other developments might only offer the
copper network. If you’re making the jump, you’ll
already have a good idea of what you want, just
make sure you check what’s already there and what
you still need. And be sure to keep adequate budget
for landscaping—there will likely be rules around
completion that you need to follow—and adhere to
fencing requirements. And if you’re just not sure how
to go about it all, using a building broker like My
Build Sorted will help.
So, if you’re considering a lifestyle change there’s
still limited land available in Verdeco Park, and
it’s worth checking out. Or you can call Rebecca
Duncan in the sales office on 021 711 813 for more
information.
