The one<br />
that<br />
didn’t<br />
get<br />
away<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
ROLLESTON’S Vicky Van Der<br />
Zwet is hooked on salmon fishing<br />
after catching a big one over the<br />
weekend.<br />
Vicky has fished in the past<br />
but this was her first attempt at<br />
salmon fishing and the biggest<br />
fish she has ever caught “by far,”<br />
she said.<br />
She reeled in the 8.10kg,<br />
810mm salmon with the help of<br />
her husband Nico Van Der Zwet,<br />
an experienced fisherman, and<br />
10-year-old grandson Jake.<br />
Said Vicky: “This one took about<br />
five minutes and my husband was<br />
there to tell me what to do.<br />
“It was quite tiring. Definitely,<br />
it’s not easy because you’re not<br />
fishing with a huge rod but it was<br />
exciting.”<br />
She caught the fish about 8pm<br />
in the lagoon near the Rakaia<br />
River mouth on Saturday and<br />
Vicky also caught a small trout<br />
earlier that day.<br />

Thieves<br />
benefit<br />
from<br />
slack<br />
vehicle<br />
security<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
POLICE SAY residents continue<br />
to be too casual when it comes to<br />
locking their vehicles.<br />
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />
said about 80 per cent of vehicles<br />
which have had items stolen from<br />
them in the district in the last few<br />
months have been unlocked.<br />
Harker said the number of<br />
vehicles being targeted by thieves,<br />
and stolen, has become more<br />
noticeable. He estimates there<br />
have been more than 30 thefts<br />
recently.<br />
He said this is happening all<br />
across the district but some of<br />
the areas being hit the most are<br />
Rolleston, Lincoln and West<br />
Melton.<br />
Said Harker: “We had a<br />
spate of them in Lincoln and we<br />
had a spate in Rolleston. That’s<br />
probably in the last couple of<br />
months.<br />
“If they [thieves] know that it’s<br />
easy pickings in one area, they’ll<br />
keep going back there.”<br />

WE’RE A trusting lot, and<br />
that is playing right into the<br />
hands of the crims.<br />
On page 1 today we<br />
beat a familiar drum;<br />
UNLOCKED vehicles<br />
continue to be a target for<br />
thieves.<br />
The definition of a breakin<br />
doesn’t apply here because<br />
the vehicles aren’t broken<br />
into; the thieves simply<br />
open the door and help<br />
themselves to whatever is<br />
inside.<br />
It is frustrating for<br />
the police. They take the<br />
complaint, go through the<br />
paperwork and cop the<br />
fallout when little comes of<br />
it except the insurance<br />
claim.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> might be one of<br />
the most crime-free places<br />
in New Zealand but that will<br />
change as the population<br />
grows, and crims from<br />
further afield see us as easy<br />
pickings.<br />

Girl’s support cat goes missing<br />
In Brief<br />
NEWS 3<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A PEBBLETON family is<br />
devastated after the mysterious<br />
loss of their cat Milo – a support<br />
animal for their daughter<br />
Isabella who has a head injury.<br />
And they’re worried foul<br />
play may have been a factor.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported last<br />
year a two-year-old cat lost its<br />
eye after being shot by a rifle in<br />
Prebbleton.<br />
In January 2017, another<br />
two-year-old cat was shot with<br />
a .22 calibre bullet and his back<br />
left leg was amputated. He was<br />
shot again about a year later, this<br />
time in his front left leg, and had<br />
to be put down.<br />
Jacqueline Long said since her<br />
family moved to Guardsman<br />
Pl two-and-a-half years ago,<br />
three of their beloved cats,<br />
Jasmine, D’arcy and Milo have<br />
disappeared.<br />
Milo was the most recent to<br />
go missing on November 21 and<br />
Isabella has been crying herself<br />
to sleep ever since.<br />
Milo helped calm Isabella.<br />
Jacqueline said this played a<br />
vital role in letting her brain<br />
recover from a head injury<br />
sustained after being hit by a<br />
softball bat during school sport<br />
in 2018.<br />
“With brain injuries, your<br />
brain is so busy trying to heal,<br />
that you can’t moderate your<br />
emotions.<br />
“For her, [Isabella] it was<br />
calming, it was hugely calming.<br />
She’d sit down and Milo would<br />
just cuddle her. It just calmed<br />
her down and enabled her brain<br />
to get on with healing rather<br />
than processing emotions and<br />
feelings and physical reactions to<br />
stuff that she could not moderate,”<br />
said Jacqueline.<br />
She said <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> previous<br />
coverage of Prebbleton cat<br />
shootings makes her fear the<br />
worst may have happened to<br />
Milo, Jasmine and D’arcy.<br />
“All we know is that in the<br />
newspaper articles and the<br />
chit-chat around is that there<br />
have been cats that have made it<br />
home or been found and they’ve<br />
got gunshots in their bodies.<br />
“We don’t know whether that<br />
rumoured shooter is doing his<br />
or her thing again, we don’t<br />
know whether someone’s trapping<br />
cats, we don’t know. There’s<br />
just an absolute lack of bodies,”<br />
MISSING: Isabella (left) and<br />
Reuben Long’s beloved cats<br />
Milo, Jasmine and D’arcy have<br />
disappeared in two-and-a-half<br />
years living in Prebbleton.<br />
•If you have seen any of these<br />
pets or had a cat go missing in<br />
Prebbleton recently? Email matt.<br />
slaughter@starmedia.kiwi<br />
she said.<br />
An SPCA spokeswoman said<br />
it has received reports of<br />
cats being shot in Prebbleton<br />
in January 2017, <strong>December</strong><br />
2018 and June 2019, but none<br />
since.<br />
She said it is unclear if these<br />
shootings were linked or if the<br />
Long family’s cats may have<br />
been shot.<br />
“There are any number of<br />
reasons why cats go missing,’’<br />
the spokeswoman said.<br />
COUNTDOWN APPEAL<br />
Developers have until the<br />
middle of this month to appeal<br />
the decision to decline the<br />
construction of a new Countdown<br />
supermarket in Lincoln. Shane<br />
Kennedy, who applied for resource<br />
consent to build the supermarket<br />
in the Flemington subdivision<br />
on Birchs Rd, has not said yet<br />
whether he will appeal. Fortyseven<br />
supported the development,<br />
23 submissions were in opposition<br />
and two were neutral.<br />
STUDENTS VISIT SITES<br />
The Lincoln Rotary Club, in<br />
conjunction with Lincoln High<br />
School, held a building and<br />
construction day last month. A<br />
group of nine year 11 students<br />
visited three construction<br />
companies to gain an insight<br />
into the building industry, which<br />
they are interested in working in<br />
after they finish school. The three<br />
companies visited were Concision,<br />
Rolleston, ZOG Steel Framing,<br />
Wigram, and Metro Glass,<br />
Hornby.<br />

More toxic algae<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
POTENTIALLY toxic algae<br />
benthic cyanobacteria has been<br />
found in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River at<br />
the Whitecliffs Domain and<br />
Whitecliffs Rd section.<br />
The Canterbury District<br />
Health Board has issued a health<br />
warning and says there are other<br />
access points along the river that<br />
may have benthic cyanobacteria<br />
in them.<br />
It comes after the same sort<br />
of algae was found at the Glentunnel<br />
section of the river two<br />
weeks ago.<br />
People are advised to<br />
treat every low-flowing<br />
river cautiously and check<br />
for the presence of benthic<br />
cyanobacteria.<br />
Canterbury medical officer of<br />
health Dr Cheryl Brunton said<br />
the algae looks dark brown or<br />
black and can produce toxins<br />
harmful to people and animals.<br />
“Exposure may cause skin<br />
rashes, nausea, stomach cramps,<br />
tingling and numbness around<br />
the mouth and fingertips.<br />
“If you experience any of<br />
these symptoms, visit your<br />
doctor immediately, also let<br />
your doctor know if you’ve had<br />
contact with dark brown/black<br />
algal mats or water in this area,”<br />
Brunton said.<br />
As well as people, animals,<br />
particularly dogs, are being<br />
advised to avoid areas of the<br />
river which contain the algae<br />
until health warnings have been<br />
lifted.<br />
She said people and animals<br />
should remain out of the waterways<br />
until the warnings have<br />

A $360,000 pathway linking<br />
Whitecliffs to Glentunnel in<br />
an area which has previously<br />
been deemed dangerous may<br />
be completed sooner than first<br />
planned.<br />
A number of Whitecliffs<br />
residents, led by contractor Neil<br />
Walker, have spent the last 10<br />
months helping to build about<br />
500m of track on private land at<br />
Breakneck Corner, about halfway<br />
between the two towns.<br />
The district council originally<br />
planned to complete the 3.5km<br />
track by 2031 as part of its Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
Sue Wragg, who helped complete<br />
the first section of track,<br />
said the area where work has<br />
been done was previously “very<br />
dangerous” for parents using<br />
wheelchairs and children on<br />
bikes.<br />
“We weren’t prepared to wait<br />
until [2031], it’s as simple as that,<br />
really.”<br />
The district council has<br />
indicated the track may now be<br />
completed as soon as next year<br />
because of the community’s efforts.<br />
Said district council<br />
infrastructure manager Andrew<br />
Mazey: “The draft 2<strong>02</strong>1-31<br />
Long Term Plan is proposing<br />
to recommend to council that<br />
this cycleway should be funded<br />
and undertaken in the 2<strong>02</strong>1/22<br />
financial year.<br />
“The proactive efforts by the<br />
community to address a particular<br />
safety problem themselves by<br />
providing this initial section has<br />
prompted council to consider<br />
bringing the remainder of the<br />
original project forward so it can<br />
be fully completed sooner rather<br />
than later.<br />

Residents help build pathway<br />
OPEN: Mark Wragg cuts the ribbon to the first section of new a pathway between<br />
Whitecliffs and Glentunnel, which the community helped to build. <br />
“There are no records of<br />
pedestrian or cyclist crashes in<br />
this area, but the area where the<br />
community has completed its<br />
works and the improvements in<br />
safety for pedestrians and cyclists<br />
were key to enable full pathway<br />
link between Glentunnel and<br />
Whitecliffs to be successfully<br />
completed.”<br />
Wragg said building the first<br />
section of track would not have<br />
been possible without the support<br />
of Walker, who built the section<br />
of track, Sam Richards from<br />
Richards Consulting Engineers<br />
and Steve Murphy Ltd, who supported<br />
the project.<br />
The cost of completing the first<br />
part of the track was $14,000 and<br />
this was covered by donations<br />
from two families. The cost of<br />
the remainder of the track will be<br />
covered by the district council.<br />

New east<br />
Rolleston<br />
school named<br />
Te Rohutu Whio<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
TE ROHUTU Whio has been<br />
chosen as the name of a new<br />
school in east Rolleston.<br />
The name was gifted by Te<br />
Taumutu Rūnanga and means<br />
“the whistling rohutu.”<br />
A rohutu is a type of tree.<br />
Traditionally, spinning tops<br />
made of the rohutu tree were<br />
used for entertainment at whare<br />
tapere (places of entertainment).<br />
The role of the whare tapere<br />
was about learning and testing<br />
new skills.<br />
Said principal Kate Morgan:<br />
“Our new name reflects this and<br />
also the importance that knowledge<br />
grows slowly and surely.<br />
“The leaves of the rohutu tree<br />
are heart-shaped and reflect<br />
aroha which will be a huge focus<br />
for our school.”<br />
Te Rohutu Whio has received<br />
$20 million in Government<br />
funding.<br />
It will be spent on its construction<br />
and, once finished, it will<br />
accommodate 400 pupils.<br />
The school is scheduled to<br />
open at the end of January 2<strong>02</strong>2<br />
and will be led by Morgan, who<br />
is currently the deputy principal<br />
at Merrin School.<br />

SPEEDWAY RACING runs<br />
in Glen Leech’s family’s blood,<br />
so it is fitting he has mowed a<br />
racetrack into the lawn at their<br />
Darfield home.<br />
The practice course on their<br />
rural block gets plenty of use<br />
from their children Rubie, 10,<br />
and Harry, 6.<br />
Rubie and Harry’s interest in<br />
racing is not surprising, given<br />
they are the third generation of<br />
two speedway families.<br />
The siblings are not competing<br />
yet, but the backyard track<br />
has proved the perfect training<br />
ground to hone their skills behind<br />
the wheel.<br />
The racetrack is so well mown,<br />
it won the John Deere Lawn<br />
Legend competition.<br />
Glen won a Z335E Residential<br />
ZTrak Zero-Turn lawnmower<br />
for his efforts.<br />
Glen’s wife Kylie entered him<br />
in the contest after seeing it on<br />
Facebook.<br />
She built her entry around<br />
how much their family loves<br />
their 0.6ha lawn and personal<br />
racetrack.<br />
Glen’s shock at winning<br />
was soon replaced with his<br />
excitement to replace his old<br />
equipment which made building<br />
and maintaining the backyard<br />
speedway a tough task.<br />
He mows the lawn and track<br />
about once a week.<br />
The rest of the back paddock<br />
receives a monthly maintenance<br />
trim which helps define the<br />
course’s tight bends and long<br />
straights.<br />
“The mower we were using<br />
had a catcher and we realised<br />
it was not suited to our larger<br />
property as the grass piles of<br />
clippings were really stacking<br />

THE ARTICLE The face behind<br />
Backyard racetrack<br />
earns Leech family new mower<br />
up. We learned buying a mower<br />
without a mulcher was a mistake,”<br />
Glen said.<br />
The family moved from a smaller<br />
property in Darfield to their<br />
bigger lifestyle block in March just<br />
two weeks before New Zealand’s<br />
Covid-19 lockdown.<br />
“We felt very lucky to be here.<br />
“The kids were outside all the<br />
time, on their bikes, scooters,<br />
playing on the lawn or out in the<br />
back paddock racing around,”<br />
Kylie said.<br />
RACE-READY: Glen and Kylie Leech,<br />
with their children Rubie and Harry<br />
and the new mower creating a<br />
backyard speedway track.<br />
The family’s previous lawn had<br />
been impacted by earthquakes,<br />
creating a rippled and rough<br />
surface interspersed with holes,<br />
which was not suitable for gokarts<br />
or playing in general.<br />
John Deere, tactical marketing<br />
manager Fraser Scott congratulated<br />
the Leech family on their<br />
win.<br />
“Glen’s love for his lawn<br />
and dedication to mowing the<br />
racetrack for his kids definitely<br />
makes him a lawn legend.”<br />

Mullet fundraiser<br />
for men’s health<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
LINCOLN HIGH School<br />
took part in a different<br />
kind of Movember to<br />
support men’s health.<br />
Moustaches weren’t an<br />
option for many of the<br />
school’s students but they<br />
still wanted to help the<br />
cause, creating Mulletvember.<br />
Said student Reuben<br />
Ryan, who took part: “I’ve<br />
put a year of hard work<br />
and growth into the filthy<br />
mullet and now it’s got a<br />
good cause and purpose to<br />
go towards.<br />
“Men’s mental health<br />
is a big thing and people<br />
need to be more aware and<br />
to help and support those<br />
blokes who are in need of<br />
it and what better way to<br />
do it than a classic mullet<br />
removal.’’<br />
Said fellow student Sam<br />
Draper: “I like mullets and<br />
I thought it was a good way<br />
to raise money for a good<br />
cause.’’<br />
Barber Ben Scott from<br />
Benny’s Barber Shop volunteered<br />
his time to go to<br />
the school on October 30<br />
to cut some of the boy’s<br />
hair into mullets.<br />
Said deputy principal<br />
Kylie Horgan: “This was a<br />
great show for the rest of<br />
the school and really got<br />
the month off to a good<br />
start, creating a buzz about<br />
the mullets in the school.”<br />
Throughout the month<br />
the boys were hard at work<br />
showing off their mullets<br />
and collecting donations to<br />

HALF A WORLD away in<br />
England, Barbara Hind is<br />
on the search for more<br />
information about her<br />
grandmother Annie Spring,<br />
who lived in Weedons.<br />
Hind is 74 and has never been<br />
to New Zealand but wants to<br />
know more about the 30 years<br />
Annie spent here, including 13<br />
in Weedons.<br />
Annie moved to New Zealand<br />
from Maryport, Cumberland,<br />
England, some time between<br />
1921 and 1928.<br />
She married John Spring some<br />
time after arriving.<br />
The couple lived in Weedons<br />
from about 1946 until John’s<br />
death in 1957. Annie moved<br />
back to England in 1959.<br />
They had previously lived<br />
on Ferry Rd, Woolston, in<br />
Timaru and other parts of<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Said Hind: “She obviously met<br />
John Spring sometime before<br />
1928 as the records for that year<br />
show them living together at 8<br />
Ferry Rd, Canterbury. By 1935<br />
they were shown as married,<br />
but I have not been able to find<br />
a record.<br />
“The records always show<br />
John as a labourer, although<br />
in 1946 when they were living<br />
in Weedons he is shown as a<br />
farmer.<br />
“Annie was always shown as<br />
a housewife. They lived there<br />
[Weedons] until John’s death,<br />
aged 70, in 1957. I have not<br />
been able to find a record of any<br />
children.”<br />
After Annie died in 1961, her<br />

From the battered red zone to Rolleston<br />
Craig and Kelly Pierce<br />
MOVING INTO their first home<br />
in Avondale together, Craig and<br />
Kelly Pierce never thought they<br />
would leave it.<br />
Then the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake hit.<br />
After the quake, their house<br />
was red-zoned and they were<br />
forced to leave. The couple had<br />
to make a quick decision about<br />
where they were going to move.<br />
“I think the worse thing was<br />
not knowing where we were going.”<br />
Kelly said.<br />
“You went to bed each night<br />
thinking, where am I going to be<br />
living in the next six months?”<br />
Craig said.<br />
Craig and Kelly began looking<br />
for a house in town but with no<br />
luck. They decided to look at the<br />
option of building and Kelly’s<br />
brother, who had done some<br />
plumbing in Rolleston, suggested<br />
they look there. They found<br />
a section they liked early the<br />
following year and moved in 10<br />
months later.<br />
Before buying the land, Craig<br />
had never been out to Rolleston<br />
and says they would not have<br />
built a house either.<br />
“We quite like older houses, we<br />
weren’t specifically looking for a<br />
new house.”<br />
But seven years later, Craig,<br />
Kelly and their nine-year old<br />
daughter Vienna enjoy living in<br />
Rolleston. They feel very fortunate<br />
to have privacy, peace and<br />
quiet, yet be close to Vienna’s<br />
school, shops and a park to walk<br />
the dog.<br />
“You look out and you don’t<br />
feel like you’re in the city,” Craig<br />
said.<br />
Being away from Christchurch<br />
made it easier to forget about the<br />
earthquake and there was wellneeded<br />
peace and quiet from it.<br />
Before moving to Rolleston,<br />
Avondale was like a ghost town<br />
with residents leaving their<br />
houses behind. Being one of the<br />
last families to leave the area, the<br />
couple recall walking around<br />
feeling vulnerable.<br />
“It was horrible when you were<br />
living there and you were walking<br />
the dog around the block<br />
and you’d see broken windows<br />
and empty houses and it became<br />
quite eerie.”<br />
Now when Kelly and Craig<br />
walk the dog in Rolleston, they<br />
have a sense of safety.<br />
Craig and Kelly were not<br />
alone in moving out to <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
after the earthquake the district<br />
grew in population by 47 per<br />
cent led by people moving from<br />
SATISFIED:<br />
Craig and<br />
Kelly Pierce,<br />
with their<br />
daughter<br />
Vienna, are<br />
enjoying living<br />
in Rolleston. <br />
Christchurch.<br />
The family likes to participate<br />
in park runs at Foster Park on<br />
Saturdays, camp out at Glentunnel<br />
and drive out to Darfield for<br />
the forest walks and the bakery.<br />
Kelly volunteers for Bellyful<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, delivering meals around<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> to new mothers and families<br />
with unwell children, while<br />
Craig has fun biking around the<br />
district.<br />
Craig admits the earthquake is<br />
the reason his family moved, but<br />
they would not be rushing back<br />
into town now, except for a beach<br />
trip or to his favourite record<br />
store, Penny Lane.<br />

Celebrate<br />
summer and <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Hit the court with the Canterbury Rams, bike the trails, crack the secret code or take a picnic in<br />
the park – <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council’s Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong> events programme is back for another<br />
jam-packed summer.<br />
The Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong> guide — delivered to <strong>Selwyn</strong> homes over the weekend (rural delivery<br />
arriving this week) — provides information on more than 80 activity and event options organised<br />
by the Council and available around the district until the end of March.<br />
This year the Canterbury Rams will be joining in the popular Basketball Jams in March. The<br />
Council has also included the new <strong>Selwyn</strong> Bike Trail Challenge where people can enjoy <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
great bike trails and take on the challenge to crack the secret code to win a prize, Council’s<br />
Community Services and Facilities Group Manager, Denise Kidd says.<br />
“We’ve brought back and refreshed a great range of favourite activities for people to enjoy from<br />
craft and technology experiences to music and outdoor fun. But we’re also pleased to have added<br />
a few really cool new events to encourage people to explore and enjoy, from their own backyard<br />
with the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Garden Series to further afield with the bike trail challenge.<br />
“After a tough year we’ve been working hard on ways to celebrate both summer and <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
we think this guide will help people to do just that.”<br />
Council events include three outdoor movies and a drive-in movie starting with a sprinkling of<br />
Christmas magic with Arthur Christmas at Anderson Square in Leeston on Friday 4 <strong>December</strong>.<br />
The popular Teddy Bears’ Picnic is back, along with Pool Parties in Sheffield, Darfield and<br />
Southbridge and a special Pool of Rock party at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries team has lots in store for <strong>Selwyn</strong> this summer, from sending people on<br />
virtual travels with their Summer Reading Challenge “read around the world”, to resourceful<br />
Rekindle workshops that convert cabbage leaves and felt wool into practical products.<br />

‘Contamination crew’ to support recycling<br />
A team of four is hitting the streets from this week to support <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents to recycle right.<br />
Since the Level 4 lockdown the Council has seen an increase in the number of loads of recycling that<br />
could not be recycled and were sent to landfill because of contamination. Seven percent of loads<br />
(31,380 kg) had to be sent to landfill in the last month alone.<br />
The contamination crew will be helping by providing guidance on how to improve recycling.<br />
Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says over the past six months the Council has provided<br />
updated bin stickers and magnetic easy recycling guides to residents, and run newspaper and social<br />
media advertising to support good recycling. The contamination crew is the next step to help people.<br />
The team will be checking the contents of recycling bins and providing information to householders<br />
where they have put the wrong items in.<br />
“We know that <strong>Selwyn</strong> people care about their recycling, and that it can be confusing,” he says. “By<br />
having the crew on the street, they’ll be able to provide specific information to households about items<br />
they may have mistakenly thought were okay to recycle.”<br />
Where there is a small amount of contamination, the bin will still be collected, but the crew will leave<br />
an information tag on the bin handle letting people know about items in their bin that could not be<br />
recycled. If there is a large amount of contamination then the bin won’t be collected that week and<br />
people will be advised about the contamination.<br />
“This is so we can avoid contaminating the rest of the recycling load,<br />
and having to send it to landfill,” Mr Boyd says.<br />
In extreme cases — where people consistently put out large quantities<br />
of items that can’t be recycled — the Council may consider removing<br />
bins from households, but Mr Boyd says the focus will be on helping<br />
people first.<br />
“We’re dedicated to looking after <strong>Selwyn</strong> by doing our best with<br />
rubbish and recycling. We’re not out here to tell people off, we want to<br />
help people to recycle right, and providing advice directly should help<br />
to clean up the recycling”.<br />
Nice<br />
work!<br />
Thanks for getting<br />
recycling right.<br />
Last chance to have your say on<br />
district rules<br />
There’s two weeks left to have your say on the Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District Plan.<br />
The Proposed Plan is basically a ‘rule book’ for what you can or<br />
can’t do in the district and what may require a resource consent<br />
from the Council.<br />
The plan takes account of the rapid and continuing growth we’ve seen<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong> in the last decade and sets rules and policies for where that<br />
growth should occur. It aims to help ensure the district continues to<br />
grow in a way that meets your needs and those of people moving to<br />
join in the great lifestyle and opportunities <strong>Selwyn</strong> offers.<br />
The Proposed Plan provides a framework for growth and unlocks the<br />
economic potential of our district in a sustainable way over the next 10<br />
to 15 years. It provides direction for how townships should grow, and<br />
where and what kind of businesses and industries are encouraged.<br />
It also simplifies the zones that help guide what you can and can’t<br />
build, maps the risk from natural hazards such as flooding and<br />
liquefaction, identifies our heritage sites, buildings and trees and<br />
proposes rules to protect our landscape and night sky, Council<br />
Environmental and Regulatory Services Planning Manager Ben<br />
Rhodes says.<br />
“These are key decisions about where we’re going and what life will<br />
look like in the district, so we really want to hear from you.”<br />
“So far we’ve seen a lot of interest in our drop-in sessions and<br />
community events, with hundreds of you talking to our planners<br />
and asking questions, and we’ve also received 35 submissions.<br />
Key areas of interest to date include queries about rezoning or<br />
subdividing land, designations, flooding hazard and family flats.”<br />
You can find out more and make a submission on the plan until 5pm<br />
Friday 11 <strong>December</strong> at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.<br />
Drinking? Don’t Drive<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> road safety team is launching its annual anti-drinkdriving<br />
campaign. Alcohol is the second biggest contributing factor<br />
to road crashes in New Zealand.<br />
This years ‘That’s a Fail’ campaign is reminding people of the risks<br />
that drink-driving brings. Everyone’s perception of how much they<br />
can drink is different, however the law is precise. If you’re over<br />
20 years of age the legal blood alcohol limit for driving is no more<br />
than 50 milligrams of alcohol for every 100 mls of blood. There is a<br />
zero alcohol limit if you are under 20. That means if you drive after<br />
consuming even one drink, you can be charged with drink-driving.<br />
Summer, and particularly Christmas, is a time when people enjoy<br />
catching up with friends and attending functions, but a drink-driving<br />
conviction or causing a crash has lifelong consequences, Road<br />
Safety Education Coordinator Jessica Fairbrass says. “The summer<br />
months are a time to enjoy and celebrate. We’re reminding people<br />
to plan ahead before drinking. If you’re planning on drinking, plan<br />
not to drive.”<br />

Town centre anchor building gets roof<br />
The anchor project for the new Rolleston town centre has passed its latest milestone with the roof going<br />
on and work moving indoors.<br />
The roof has been installed on Te Ara Ātea, the new library and anchor building for the Rolleston town<br />
centre, as the building prepares to be the first open in the new town centre.<br />
Work has begun on fitting the building’s windows and sliding doors, including the large second floor<br />
windows that will provide views across Rolleston and out to the Southern Alps, along with the internal walls.<br />
The 2,200 square metre, two-storey building is due to be finished in late 2<strong>02</strong>1. It will house the new<br />
Rolleston Library, along with community spaces, exhibition areas, a workshop room, tamariki area and<br />
Waka Huia, a quiet room with a museum-quality display wall on the outside and displays of taonga from<br />
Te Taumutu Rūnanga.<br />
Te Ara Ātea will open onto the town square<br />
for the new Rolleston town centre. The town<br />
centre will feature retail areas, a sensory<br />
space, kai gardens and a youth area.<br />
A hearing on the design of the town centre<br />
has been completed this week. The project<br />
team was pleased to receive a significant<br />
number of submissions from interested<br />
community members on the design of the<br />
town centre. These will be incorporated into<br />
the final design which is expected to be<br />
completed early March next year.<br />

Aussie move for trainer Nathan Purdon<br />
• By Michael Guerin<br />
YOUNG GUN trainer Nathan<br />
Purdon says he is looking<br />
forward to branching out on his<br />
own in what could ultimately be<br />
a multi-state Australian career.<br />
The 25-year-old will leave<br />
his successful partnership with<br />
Chrissie Dalgety at West Melton<br />
in late January to return to Australia,<br />
where he has tasted group<br />
one success before when training<br />
a very small team.<br />
But this time Purdon will be<br />
looking to establish himself<br />
rather than only have that small<br />
team or work for others.<br />
“I think the time is right and<br />
after discussing it with a few<br />
people, including dad (Mark) I<br />
think Victoria is the right place<br />
to base myself,” Purdon said.<br />
“I have really appreciated the<br />
opportunities here with Chrissie<br />
and with Cran advising but<br />
things are changing with dad<br />
and Natalie taking a step back<br />
in the business and that could<br />
present some opportunities in<br />
Australia.<br />
“Dad has suggested to me he<br />
would be happy to come across<br />
to the sales in Australia, where<br />
he is going to be campaigning<br />
horses in Sydney anyway, and we<br />
can look at horses together.<br />
“He will see if any of his<br />
owners are interested in buying<br />
The revolution<br />
in heat pumps<br />
is here now!<br />
horses at those sales and leaving<br />
them in Australia for me to train<br />
but I am also going to reach out<br />
to some of my owners.<br />
“But I am going over there<br />
with a clean slate so I am going<br />
to build the team up from<br />
scratch and that will mean I am<br />
available to buy and train horses<br />
for Australian owners too.”<br />
Purdon could be moving at<br />

<br />
the right time as more and more<br />
New Zealand-based horses are<br />
not only being campaigned at<br />
the major Australian carnivals<br />
but also heading there for prolonged<br />
stays.<br />
The All Stars for example<br />
have tended to send their horses<br />
they want to race in Victoria<br />
to the likes of Dean Braun and<br />
their New South Wales-targeted<br />

Nathan<br />
Purdon will<br />

Australia<br />
next month<br />
to further<br />
his career.<br />
horses to Craig Cross and Luke<br />
McCarthy.<br />
But a trainer like the younger<br />
Purdon could easily become<br />
a go-to man for New Zealand<br />
owners wanting to campaign<br />
in Australia, especially as many<br />
Kiwis like their horses to go to a<br />
fellow countrymen.<br />
One of those options has been<br />
Anthony Butt, who has just<br />
moved back from New South<br />
Wales to Victoria, and while he<br />
takes outside horses much of his<br />
training is quite rightly based<br />
around Emilio and Mary Rosati’s<br />
horses as his major owners.<br />
But Nathan would have the advantage<br />
of arriving without the<br />
commitments of a large stable<br />
so could be able to tailor raids<br />
to New South Wales or even<br />
Queensland.<br />
“I am really open to that sort<br />
of thing and I might even spend<br />
a few week helping out with<br />
dad’s horses when they campaign<br />
in Sydney.<br />
“But it is an exciting time.”<br />
Purdon will of course miss many<br />
of the stars he has helped train<br />
with the Dalgetys but warns the<br />
best is yet to come from exceptional<br />
three-year-old Krug.<br />
“He came to the end of it in<br />
the Sires’ Stakes at Addington<br />
and probably even before,” he<br />
admits.<br />
“But he is in the paddock now<br />
and will miss the Sales Series<br />
in Auckland and I am certain<br />
this break will be the making of<br />
him.”<br />
Purdon’s partner junior driver<br />
Mikayla Lewis will also join him<br />
in Australia and work alongside<br />
him as well as run the business<br />
side of the operation.<br />

Darfield’s Jesse Frew scored 73 runs in his team’s win over previous frontrunners<br />
Weedons which allowed Leeston-Southbridge to jump to the top of<br />
the table.<br />
Win puts Leeston-Southbridge at top of table<br />
LEESTON-Southbridge jumped<br />
to the top of the country cricket<br />
standings with a comprehensive<br />
eight-wicket demolition of<br />
Ohoka on Saturday.<br />
The combined side’s victory<br />
sees them leapfrog Weedons –<br />
who suffered a hefty 79-run loss<br />
to Darfield – and lead the CRV<br />
Ambreed country premier one<br />
day 2<strong>02</strong>0/21 competition.<br />
At Leeston Park, the home side<br />
chose to bowl first and immediately<br />
rolled through Ohoka’s top<br />
order.<br />
Sam Chamberlain and Tom<br />
Burt did the damage at the<br />
top, hitting good areas and<br />
grabbing four wickets between<br />
them – Burt bowling a close<br />
to unplayable delivery to<br />
remove the dangerous Will<br />
Hamilton.<br />
But it was a total team bowling<br />
and fielding effort – creating two<br />
run outs – to dismiss an Ohoka<br />
side missing a few key players to<br />
injury for a paltry 93 in 35 overs.<br />
Only Harry Fitzpatrick offered<br />
any resistance and was left<br />
stranded on 40 not out off 86<br />
balls.<br />
After losing Rupert Young for<br />
a duck in the first over after a<br />
peach from Austin Hamilton,<br />
Leeston-Southbridge knocked<br />
off the win inside 15 overs, with<br />
Canterbury Country star Harry<br />
Chamberlain smashing 45 off 31<br />
balls, and Country development<br />

Boom-town growth tests farm priorities<br />
High-class soils must be protected,<br />
Federated Farmers says as <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s urban<br />
growth continues to surge.<br />
Land around Rolleston continues to be<br />
sold for housing and industry, expanding<br />
the town at breakneck speed. The town<br />
had 17,500 residents as of the last census<br />
and the number is predicted to climb to<br />
24,000 by 2040.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> district has<br />
consistently been one<br />
of the fastest-growing<br />
areas in New Zealand<br />
over the past decade<br />
and is now the third<br />
most populated<br />
district in the South<br />
Island.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> district has consistently been<br />
one of the fastest-growing areas in New<br />
Zealand over the past decade and is<br />
now the third most populated district<br />
in the South Island. The district’s strong<br />
population and economic growth is<br />
projected to continue for many years yet.<br />
Meantime <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />
(SDC) is consulting on its district plan,<br />
which it expects to be in full effect by the<br />
end of 2<strong>02</strong>2.<br />
In a summary of its proposed plan, SDC<br />
says: “Apart from some minor rezoning<br />
in Leeston and Rolleston, the council<br />
has made the decision not to investigate<br />
rezoning new ‘greenfield’ residential or<br />
business areas in the district through the<br />
District Plan Review process”.<br />
In relation to the Ellesmere and Malvern<br />
Wards, SDC’s decision was based<br />
around “balancing projected demand<br />
for residential and business land and the<br />
existing capacity of townships to cater for<br />
this demand”.<br />
Overall, the council was not proposing<br />
any residential zoning changes, “except<br />
for lifting the deferral of some land in<br />
Darfield and Leeston, which is currently<br />
treated as rural land but is to become<br />
residential zoned land in the Proposed<br />
District Plan”.<br />
SDC considered there was enough land<br />
at the moment to cater for projected<br />
population growth.<br />
The pros and cons of urban plans and<br />
policy statements continue to divide<br />
farmers, who may, or may not, want<br />
residential growth to continue. For some,<br />
urban expansion is a threat to precious<br />
hectares. For others, city and town sprawl<br />
represents a potential property windfall.<br />
In a submission to the urban<br />
development NPS, Federated Farmers<br />
said its membership encompassed a<br />
broad range of persons and interests,<br />
“depending on their own personal views<br />
and future intentions to develop their<br />
own land”. With this in mind, Federated<br />
Farmers submission focused “solely on<br />
key issues that are generally accepted by<br />
our membership”.<br />
The lobby group said Federated<br />
Farmers generally supported the urban<br />
development policy statement but wanted<br />
urban development to be clearly defined.<br />
It could not include un-serviced large lot<br />
residential subdivision on the fringe of a<br />
city or town that resulted in inefficient use<br />
of the land resource and land use conflict.<br />
An urban development NPS must also<br />
recognize the importance of maintaining<br />
high class soils for primary production for<br />
future generations and protecting “high<br />
class soils from inappropriate subdivision,<br />
use and development”.<br />
“A further concern our members face is<br />
the expansion of the peri-urban boundary<br />
into land used for primary production and<br />
commercial activities associated with the<br />
primary sector. Reverse sensitivity issues<br />
such as odour, aural or visual amenity<br />
concerns have the potential to affect the<br />
viability of some rural-based businesses.<br />
We seek greater controls be applied to<br />
the NPS-UD [urban development] with<br />
respect to controlling reverse sensitivity<br />
risk. It is Federated Farmers’ experience<br />
that reverse sensitivity issues inevitably<br />
arise when urban uses of land displace<br />
rural uses of that same land,” Federated<br />
Farmers’ submission said.<br />

Farmer-led group nets environment cash<br />
A <strong>Selwyn</strong> catchment group is set to net just<br />
over $2m for environmental improvements<br />
on more than 60 properties in the district.<br />
The government funding is going to<br />
the Tinaku Project, led by the farmerled<br />
Ellesmere Sustainable Agriculture<br />
Incorporated. The group has 100 members<br />
and aims to improve water health, mahinga<br />
kai and cultural values.<br />
The $2.2m from the Ministry for Primary<br />
Industries (MPI) will pay for four and eight<br />
full-time equivalent staff working with<br />
landowners across 46,000ha. The activity<br />
will include fencing and planting to protect<br />
streams, drains and wetlands, as well as pest<br />
control and improved biodiversity.<br />
The Tinaku Project reaped about a third<br />
of the Jobs for Nature funding announced<br />
by Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor<br />
this month. Four farmer-led catchment<br />
groups in Canterbury and Otago were given<br />
between $176,000 and $2.3 million over<br />
the next three years to fund environmental<br />
improvement work across dozens of sites in<br />
their regions.<br />
The Jobs for Nature projects include,<br />
North Otago Sustainable Land Management<br />
Riparian Project – $362,000; Lindis River<br />
project, Otago – $772,000 and Pomahaka<br />
Wetland Restoration project, South Otago –<br />
$176,000<br />
O’Connor said most of the initiatives were<br />
being led by established catchment groups<br />
with hundreds of farmer members. The<br />
work would involve fencing and planting<br />
around water bodies, clearing of unsuitable<br />
trees, and pest control.<br />
Overall, Jobs for Nature could employ<br />
between 15 and 20 people as well as<br />
specialist contractors over that period.<br />
O’Connor said producing food and fibre<br />
for the world with strong environmental<br />
credentials would create more value for our<br />
products and would help New Zealand’s<br />
economic recovery from Covid-19.<br />
It was important that the Jobs for Nature<br />
projects were led by farmers and the<br />
community, O’Connor said.<br />
“Farmers working directly with each other<br />
through local catchment groups means<br />
they can develop and share their knowledge<br />
about what works for them and provide a<br />
connected network for support and advice.<br />
Through Jobs for Nature projects they can<br />
start to make a difference that will be seen<br />
in years to come.”<br />
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of<br />
Commerce Chief Executive Leeann Watson<br />
says the Jobs for Nature funding for<br />
Canterbury and elsewhere was recognition<br />
of the significant work undertaken by the<br />
rural sector. Most farmers were focused<br />
on improving and protecting their land<br />
for future generations and many had been<br />
early adopters of environment management<br />
plans for the last seven or eight years, she<br />
said. “Environmental stewardship is also<br />
an important area in terms of securing<br />
market access for food and fibre, so this<br />
funding will play a role in helping to boost<br />
our agriculture exports - a key economic<br />
driver for the region, which was particularly<br />
evident through Covid”.<br />
The funding also showed that<br />
sustainability had not been overlooked in<br />
the Covid environment.<br />
Preserving the health of rivers, wetlands,<br />
and habitat biodiversity has always<br />
been a key issue for the region, “so we<br />
are encouraged to see the Government<br />
addressing this challenging issue in<br />
partnership with the farming sector and<br />
hope that it is a signal for the Government’s<br />
approach to accompanying sector<br />
regulations and other sustainability issues,”<br />
Watson said.<br />
A further $2.9m of government funding<br />
would help about 300 Hurunui farmers<br />
work towards improving the health of their<br />
land and water through applying farm<br />
environment planning and sustainable land<br />
management practices.<br />

GARDENING<br />
SOME OF the easiest plants to<br />
grow are herbs and flowers.<br />
Getting to know these<br />
garden staples is also a great<br />
way to learn about the basics of<br />
gardening.<br />
Step 1: Mint<br />
To grow it well and noninvasively,<br />
always plant mint in a<br />
big pot in quality media (potting<br />
mix) with a few water crystals to<br />
help keep the plant moist (not<br />
waterlogged) and make sure<br />
it gets a little shade during the<br />
hottest part of the day.<br />
Step 2: Which herbs go<br />
with mint?<br />
Plant parsley and coriander in<br />
the same pot as mint, because<br />
these herbs love moist soil too.<br />
Make sure you give each plant<br />
plenty of room to expand as they<br />
grow.<br />
Step 3: Which herbs like<br />
drier soil?<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Herbs and flowers are the easiest to grow<br />
AS WE move through<br />
summer, keep the garden<br />
looking fresh for your outdoor<br />
enjoyment.<br />
1. Conserve water<br />
– While we may not reach<br />
Australian levels of urgency<br />
about water shortages, the ecomessages<br />
are just going to get<br />
tougher from now on. Take a<br />
good look at how you use water<br />
in your garden and make some<br />
plans. Whatever your method,<br />
Thyme (common, pizza,<br />
lemon), rosemary and<br />
fragrant oregano, prefer being<br />
more dry than moist and love<br />
soaking in all day sun. They<br />
prefer less nitrogen so they can<br />
be sparing with the frequency<br />
of watering: established plants<br />
need only 30min of water once<br />
or twice a week, vegetables<br />
more.<br />
2. Mulch to save<br />
work – Mulch is the instant<br />
makeover. It suppresses weeds,<br />
makes a tired garden look<br />
fresh and slows water<br />
evaporation.<br />
But only apply it once the soil<br />
is good and wet, as otherwise it<br />
develop their fragrant oils.<br />
Step 4: Basil the loner<br />
Basil (common, purple, thai,<br />
giant, tiny leafed) needs a little<br />
more care to produce a good<br />
harvest. Grow it in a big pot that<br />
can be moved around to catch<br />
the sunshine and remove it from<br />
windy conditions. Do not water<br />
basil plants directly on the leaves<br />
or the soil as the dampness may<br />
attract fungal disease.<br />
Step 5: Add coriander<br />
It’s easy as long as you plant<br />
the seeds just below the surface<br />
and right where you want them<br />
to grow in your garden. To slow<br />
down the ‘bolting’ of coriander<br />
harvest it often.<br />
will not help your plants.<br />
3. Plant locally – Native<br />
plants (from your part of the<br />
country) are perfectly adapted<br />
to your local sun, rain and wind<br />
conditions, so they look after<br />
themselves.<br />
4. Mow lightly – In the<br />
summer lawns do best when<br />
the grass is longer (about 25-<br />
30mm).<br />
The soil and roots are shaded<br />
Step 6: Easy flower<br />
growing<br />
To start an easy<br />
Christmas flower garden,<br />
cultivate a small space or<br />
garden edge and turn some<br />
heat-treated sheep pellets into<br />
the soil.<br />
Then grab a mix of marigold<br />
and cornflower seeds and throw<br />
them across the garden. Place<br />
a thin layer of soil on top and<br />
water them in.<br />
Step 7: Buy seedlings<br />
Now buy some flower<br />
seedlings of your choice and<br />
place them at regular (or<br />
irregular) spaces throughout the<br />
growing space. Make sure you<br />
water the garden daily.<br />
Keep your garden fresh during warm weather<br />
MOIST: Use water sparingly to<br />
avoid shortages.<br />
TASTE: Mint can be grown in the garden or in a container.<br />
so the lawn does not get sunburnt<br />
and more moisture is retained.<br />
If you can, leave clippings on<br />
the lawn to help conserve soil<br />
moisture and feed it.<br />
5. Add water – There is<br />
nothing like water to enhance<br />
a garden.<br />
While a full-scale water<br />
feature can get expensive,<br />
garden centres now sell small<br />
plug-and-go bubbling water<br />
bowls.<br />

GARDENING 35<br />
Put a plan in place for holiday season<br />
SUMMER IS here. It’s a hugely<br />
busy time in the garden with<br />
vigorous growth on most plants,<br />
harvesting of early maturing<br />
summer vegetables and preparing<br />
the garden if you are planning on<br />
heading away.<br />
Vege garden<br />
Summer salad vegetables will<br />
be maturing mid/late <strong>December</strong>.<br />
Regularly apply side dressings of<br />
fertiliser to enhance the growth of<br />
these plants. With quick maturing<br />
crops such as radishes, dwarf<br />
beans and lettuce, use succession<br />
planting (every two to three<br />
weeks) to avoid them all maturing<br />
at the same time and ensuring<br />
you have a constant supply.<br />
Plan you watering or irrigation<br />
programme to encourage strong<br />
plant growth while avoiding<br />
wasting any water. Apply mulch<br />
to reduce water loss and help prevent<br />
weed growth. Early planted<br />
potatoes should be ready to be<br />
harvested for Christmas Day.<br />
Continue to remove the lateral<br />
growth on your tomato plants<br />
until they reach around 1m, and<br />
tie up to stakes at regular points<br />
(every 100–150mm).<br />
Summer flowers<br />
With little effort, summer<br />
annuals can provide masses of<br />
colour and beauty in the garden<br />
MAINTENANCE: <strong>December</strong> is a good time to deadhead<br />
your roses and encourage more blooms.<br />
or containers. Summer flowers<br />
include; ageratum, cornflower,<br />
cosmos, marigolds, petunias,<br />
portulacas, salvias, strawflowers<br />
and zinnias. Deadhead old finished<br />
flowers to encourage more<br />
flowering.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Early stone fruit such as plums<br />
start to ripen towards the end<br />
of the month. You may need to<br />
remove some excess new growth<br />
and thin laden bunches of<br />
fruit to help promote heavy cropping.<br />
Water newly planted fruit<br />
trees and mulch as soils begin to<br />
dry.<br />
Berries and strawberries<br />
Boysenberries, blackcurrants,<br />
gooseberries and raspberries can<br />
be harvested in late <strong>December</strong>.<br />
They will be developing new<br />
canes that should be tied down<br />
or removed when there is<br />
excessive growth.<br />
It’s a great month for harvesting<br />
strawberries. Protect plants with<br />
bird netting so they don’t eat the<br />
fruit before you do.<br />
Place pea straw or crushed bark<br />
around plants so fruit are sitting<br />
on a ‘clean bed’. Water as required<br />
and with the minimum of maintenance<br />
you should be harvesting<br />
delicious, juicy strawberries well<br />
into January.<br />
Roses<br />
It’s an excellent month for rose<br />
before the difficult months of<br />
January and February. It’s important<br />
to continue to deadhead<br />
finished flowers to encourage<br />
more blooms.<br />
Apply regular side dressings of<br />
rose fertiliser to encourage strong<br />
healthy growth. Carry out summer<br />
pruning to promote further<br />
flowering. Inspect your roses<br />
regularly for signs of blackspot<br />
and rust and instigate a regular<br />
spraying programme to control<br />
these diseases.<br />
Lawns<br />
Depending on specific summer<br />
weather conditions, lawns<br />
should either be in peak condition<br />
or beginning to dry out.<br />
Avoid mowing too low over hot<br />
summer months and do not apply<br />
fertiliser.<br />
If water supply allows, irrigate<br />
lawns in the cooler parts of the<br />
day. If you have bare patches<br />
appearing, you will need to be<br />
patient and wait until autumn before<br />
carrying out any repair work.<br />
Preparing the garden for<br />
summer holidays<br />
Because we traditionally<br />
holiday in the Christmas/January<br />
period, “deserting” the garden at<br />
this time can lead to problems.<br />
It’s better to plan ahead and be<br />
prepared.<br />
Avoid problems by not having<br />
your vegetable crops maturing<br />
during this time, applying a good<br />
layer of mulch and installing a<br />
timer or asking a neighbour to<br />
water your garden while you are<br />
away.<br />
This is especially important<br />
with plants in containers.<br />

BMW X6 challenges design rules<br />
CAR MAKERS are always<br />
looking for a point of difference<br />
in their designs.<br />
A good example of that is<br />
BMW’s X6 sport utility vehicle.<br />
Well such is its style it doesn’t really<br />
fit the SUV mould, its coupetype<br />
rear quarter tapers markedly<br />
to provide a fast-back look, one<br />
which is distinctive and eyecatching.<br />
If you add in genuine<br />
bulk – the X6 is big – then you<br />
have a bold, brash SUV that has a<br />
polarising style.<br />
Most of the people who I talked<br />
about it liked it, but then there<br />
were others who said it was a bit<br />
over the top and unnecessarily<br />
complicated as a design, especially<br />
up front where an angular,<br />
illuminated grille commands<br />
attention.<br />
The X6 has always been<br />
controversial, when it was first<br />
launched it had only four seats<br />
which seemed a bit of a waste in<br />
such a big car. However, BMW<br />
has addressed that, it has been a<br />
five-seater for several years now.<br />
The X6 lands here with three<br />
engine options; well, two are pretty<br />
much the same design, a 3-litre<br />
six-cylinder diesel with two different<br />
power outputs, but for those<br />
who like to stick with a high-performance<br />
petrol engine, the M50i<br />
is V8-powered. All have BMW’s<br />
xDrive four-wheel-drive system.<br />
The two diesels have nomenclatures<br />
of 30d and 50d respectively.<br />
This evaluation surrounds the<br />
entry-level model which lists at<br />
$149,400, the 50d and M50i are<br />
both priced at $187,100.<br />
Given its stature, the X6 has a<br />
plush, spacious interior, and for<br />
those onboard you are cocooned<br />
in the lap of luxury, and there is<br />
an abundance of trim details that<br />
will provide a pleasurable travelling<br />
experience for all occupants.<br />
The driver also gets a wealth of<br />
functions and controls, many of<br />
which are voice activated while,<br />
of course, the X6 has the benefit<br />
of a multitude of safety systems<br />
incorporated into the vehicle.<br />
Up front sits the big diesel, it<br />
has massive power outputs even<br />
in what is considered low-power<br />
form. BMW claims 195kW and<br />
620Nm, if that is not enough<br />
grunt for you the 50d adds 99kW<br />
and 140Nm. For me, though, the<br />
30d has enough to satisfy. Power<br />
is sufficient enough to claim a<br />
6.5sec time to reach 100km/h.<br />
That’s not bad for a tubby vehicle<br />
which weighs just over twotonne.<br />
The engine is strong and wilful,<br />
it is grunty under load and in a<br />
subdued way it lets you know it is<br />
enjoying its work. It throbs away<br />
and is free-revving in its nature,<br />
hauling to the 5000rpm redline<br />
willingly, and that is unusual for<br />
a big diesel. Not that there is any<br />
real need to explore high revolutions,<br />
diesels of this type have<br />
mammoth mid-range torque, and<br />
for that matter, the X6 is an absolute<br />
dynamo during a highway<br />
overtake. Such is the acceleration<br />
BMW X6 30d: Sports sedan feel with notable power/handling balance.<br />
you need to keep a close watch on<br />
the speedometer, the X6 charges<br />
to dizzy speeds with little effort<br />
and little sensation of speed.<br />
It also seems unfathomable<br />
that you can have this huge<br />
charge of energy from under the<br />
bonnet and still achieve remarkable<br />
fuel usage economy. BMW<br />
also claims a 7.1-litre per 100km<br />
combined cycle average. On my<br />
long highway run the readout was<br />
listing a 5.2l/100km instantaneous<br />
figure at 100km, the engine<br />
almost idling at just 1350rpm.<br />
That contributed to an overall<br />
9l/100km figure when I had finished<br />
evaluating.<br />
Overall, that’s perfectly acceptable,<br />
and figures that will continually<br />
surprise the X6 buyer, you<br />
can have huge impetus without<br />
needlessly scoffing fuel.<br />
The engine drives to all four<br />
corners through an eight-speed<br />
• Price – BMW X6 30d,<br />
$149,400<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4941mm; width, 2019mm;<br />
height, 1693mm<br />
• Configuration – Sixcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2993cc, 195kW, 620Nm,<br />
eight-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 6.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km<br />
automatic transmission. It is a<br />
sequential shifting type with<br />
paddles attached to the steering<br />
wheel should the driver desire<br />
to take control of the gearshift<br />
process. Left to its own devices<br />
the gearbox works the torque pattern<br />
of the engine well, upshifting<br />
early to minimise fuel usage.<br />
Perhaps the biggest surprise<br />
of all with the X6 is that of its<br />
ELEGANT: Coupe-type rear quarter characterises the BMW X6. An elegant and plush interior pampers the occupants.<br />
handling. I’ve mentioned it is a<br />
big car and you’d expect there<br />
to be limitations when twisty<br />
backroads are encountered. That’s<br />
far from the reality, the X6 belies<br />
its bulk, it feels tightly connected<br />
with the road and it is remarkably<br />
agile. A lot of that can be attributed<br />
to the massive 22in Continental<br />
tyres which have amazing<br />
sidewall flexibility along with<br />
unyielding grip.<br />
Steerage is informative and<br />
the entire vehicle is balanced<br />
over the suspension. Of course,<br />
you are paying a premium price<br />
for the X6 and you’d expect all<br />
the ducks to be in row, but the<br />
power/handling balance of the<br />
X6 is something quite extraordinary,<br />
it feels like a sports sedan,<br />
it is something quite special<br />
when the never ending mixture<br />
of New Zealand’s road types are<br />
presented.<br />
The X6 is a complicated car to<br />
describe. For one it is the quintessential<br />
family wagon, it is also a<br />
recreational model which would<br />
be at home on the Mt Hutt skifield<br />
access road, and it is a performance<br />
SUV that is very wilful<br />
with its high power outputs.<br />
For my money the ‘baby’ of the<br />
series would win out. As much<br />
as I like big V8 petrol engines,<br />
the 3-litre diesel charms with its<br />
honesty and economy; however,<br />
deciding between the 30d<br />
and 50d is another conundrum<br />
altogether.<br />

comfortable with is so important.<br />
“Remember, you’re looking for the<br />
person who you’re going to trust to sell<br />
what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their<br />
success (or failure) will have a marked<br />
impact on your new life plan,” says the<br />
Real Estate Authority (REA).<br />
New Zealand has about 15,000 real<br />
estate agents who help people navigate<br />
big-deal transactions every day.<br />
“The trick is to find the one that will be<br />
best for your situation,” he says.<br />
If you’re going to get the best out of your<br />
real estate agent – and they’re going to get<br />
the best price and conditions for your<br />
property – then you need<br />
to put the work in before<br />
you sign with anyone. That<br />
means basing your decision<br />
on more than gut feel or the<br />
fact that their office was easy<br />
to park outside.<br />
You need someone who<br />
understands what it takes<br />
to sell a property like yours<br />
and a proven track record to<br />
show for it. You also need<br />
to feel comfortable with<br />
them personally – if<br />
you don’t find them<br />
pleasant to deal<br />
with then buyers<br />
may not enjoy<br />
the experience either.<br />
If you’re not sure how to get the ball<br />
rolling, ask the agent the following<br />
questions:<br />
- What do you know about my<br />
neighbourhood? How are sales in this area<br />
and who is buying?<br />
- Do you work independently or with<br />
other agents?<br />
- What kind of advertising or marketing<br />
do you use – and which ones will work for<br />
my property? What extra marketing costs<br />
will I have to pay?<br />
- What are your commission rates? Are<br />
you open to negotiation?<br />
- Do you have testimonials or references<br />
from people whose properties you have<br />
sold in the last three months?<br />
- What do you recommend I do to<br />
prepare my home for sale?<br />
- Why should I hire you?<br />
Asking these questions helps you<br />
form a picture of the agent’s experience,<br />
knowledge and how they structure their<br />
business.<br />
These days you’d expect an agent’s<br />
marketing plan to have an online focus<br />
that includes major property websites and<br />
social media. Find out what the marketing<br />
plan will cost and ask them to explain<br />
their rationale – you’re the one paying for<br />
this service, after all.<br />
Remember that you can negotiate on<br />
the marketing costs and commission –<br />
don’t be afraid to ask the agents if they<br />
are interested in an incentive-based<br />
commission, where they will earn more<br />
commission if they sell your property<br />
above a certain price.<br />
Once you’ve found the agent you think<br />
you’d like to work with, check them out<br />
on the Real Estate Authority’s (REA)<br />
online public register, which will tell you<br />
if the agent holds a current licence. This is<br />
important because it’s illegal to carry out<br />
real estate agency work without a licence<br />
and if you deal with an unlicensed person<br />
the REA will be unable to help you if<br />
things go wrong.<br />
When you’ve decided on an agent, the<br />
terms and conditions of your contract will<br />
be set out in an agency agreement that<br />
you both sign. This is a legal document,<br />
so make sure you get advice from a lawyer<br />
and that you understand your rights and<br />
responsibilities.<br />

Green Homes are building<br />
better in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Anyone can build a house. But if you’re looking for<br />
a greener home build company that’s also affordable<br />
for the average Kiwi, Green Homes Christchurch will<br />
set you up with a warmer, drier, healthier and more<br />
energy efficient home. And if a more sustainable<br />
solution isn’t your main priority, the running cost<br />
efficiencies are an added bonus that will put pennies<br />
back in your pocket.<br />
Higher spec that costs less<br />
With five branches around NZ and expansion<br />
plans in the near-future, high spec homes that cost<br />
less to run are Green Homes’ speciality. They’re the<br />
only residential design and build company in NZ<br />
that is ISO compliant for Energy Management and<br />
most branches have in-house design teams that<br />
can customise almost anything. Plus, as a standard<br />
specification you’ll get perimeter edge foundation,<br />
extra wall and ceiling insulation, energy efficient<br />
appliances, WELS rated tapware, and solar power<br />
options that will contribute towards reducing your<br />
carbon footprint.<br />
Homestar and Lifemark options<br />
for improved performance and<br />
liveability<br />
Homes can be expensive to run and a huge 80% of<br />
floor heat can be lost through the perimeter of the<br />
slab of your home. Green Homes build well above<br />
[Edition datE]<br />
2<br />
code and have high insulation standards; their process<br />
includes the perimeter edge of slab—which means it’ll<br />
be warmer than most other new homes. So, you can<br />
enjoy your home in comfort and not worry about how<br />
you’ll pay to run it.<br />
If you’re smart about home building, you can also<br />
future proof your home for safety, potential mobility<br />
impairments, or disability needs. Building in features<br />
now—like wider doors and flush entrances, customheight<br />
kitchens, non-slip tiles, easy-reach light<br />
switches—will cost very little extra now but save you<br />
thousands long term.<br />
Acland Park show home opening<br />
soon<br />
The land prices and infrastructure of <strong>Selwyn</strong> are<br />
boosting popularity of the area; the sheer space<br />
is a big drawcard for building. And according<br />
to testimonials, customers are loving the entire<br />
experience when building with the Green Homes<br />
team—the service, the team, their comfy new home—<br />
and you can too, in as little as 16 weeks.<br />

will open early in 2<strong>02</strong>1; it’ll be highly rated for<br />

worth a peek. You can also reach the team on<br />

Confident at Auctions<br />
Looking confident may be all you need to be the last<br />
bidder standing when the hammer goes down.<br />
Does your blood pressure go sky-high at<br />
the sight of an auction room? Chances are<br />
some of your fellow bidders are doing all<br />
in their power to psych you out and win<br />
the bidding.<br />
Securing a property isn’t just about<br />
having the most money. Sometimes the<br />
winning bidder is the one with the most<br />
confidence.<br />
They use psychology to convince<br />
opposing bidders to give up, hoping to<br />
make everyone else think they’ve got more<br />
to spend than anyone else in the room.<br />
Too often buyers have preconceived<br />
ideas about how the auction will unfold<br />
and have their confidence knocked when it<br />
doesn’t go their way.<br />
Two can play at that game. You just need<br />
to get your strategy right.<br />
Looking confident may be all you need<br />
to be the last bidder standing when the<br />
hammer goes down.<br />
To be that person you need to do some<br />
preparation. Make sure you go to a few<br />
auctions first to get used to them.<br />
Come bidding day, park yourself on<br />
the side at the front so that you can<br />
see everyone in the room and, more<br />
importantly, they can see you whether<br />
they’re at the back of the front.<br />
It gives you a vantage point and shows<br />
the opposition you are bidding confidently<br />
against them.<br />
You are hoping that the other buyers<br />
Show<br />
home<br />
Guide<br />
have a plan in place.<br />
Often that’s to start low. So if you come<br />
in with a relatively high first bid, you may<br />
rattle them.<br />
“The lower the open bid the more people<br />
can afford to bid. So you could knock out<br />
some of the opposition before they even<br />
place a bid if you choose the right opener.<br />
Don’t start at $500,000 for a house you<br />
know is going to go for at least $800,000.<br />
Put an opening bid of $785,000.<br />
Immediately your opposition is going to<br />
think it will go incredibly high and might<br />
be unnerved.<br />
Call each bid out confidently. “It shows<br />
you are comfortable and in control.<br />
The more confident you seem the more<br />
people will think you have done it before.<br />
It’s a really good idea to vary your<br />
bidding increments.. If it’s going up by<br />
$2000 bids and it’s below your limit don’t<br />
be afraid to put a $10,000 bid in..<br />
Your competition is always thinking<br />
about that next $2000 bid and if you<br />
change the rhythm from $2000 to $10,000<br />
you show you have the money and it<br />
changes where their next bid has to be.<br />
Instead of $4000 more it is $12,000 more.<br />
Finally, if you’re a couple, make sure<br />
you’ve discussed every aspect of the<br />
auction before you get there. As soon<br />
as you start looking at each other or<br />
conferring, the opposition will think<br />
you’re weak.<br />
