Boozed 

driver 

retrieves 

car, then 

crashes 

into ditch 

• By Susan Sandys 

A YOUNG motorist caught for 

drink driving and immediately 

suspended for 28 days, later got 

a taxi to get back to his car and 

ended up crashing it. 

Police say the 20-year-old is 

lucky to be alive after his car 

nearly flipped in a water race 

sometime between 3am and 5am 

on Sunday. 

Just after midnight he had been 

stopped by police leaving a hotel 

car park in Lincoln. He was taken 

to the Rolleston police station for 

processing. 

Constable Blair Croucher said 

due to the high alcohol reading 

his licence was automatically 

suspended for 28 days. The driver 

was then taken to his Rolleston 

home by police. 

But he later got a taxi back to 

the hotel car park in Lincoln 

where he retrieved his car and 

drove off, crashing later in a water 

race on Trices Rd, Prebbleton.

I HOPE a young chap from 

Rolleston has learned a 

valuable lesson – don’t get 

into your car after having 

too much to drink. 

On page 1 today we reveal 

the 20-year-old was caught 

over the limit exiting a hotel 

car park in the early hours of 

Sunday morning. 

But his problems only just 

started there. 

After being processed for 

drink driving, he got a spare 

set of keys and went back to 

get his car. Not a wise thing 

to do. 

He got as far as Trices 

Rd in Prebbleton where 

he crashed into a ditch, 

which had water in it. Two 

tree stumps were all that 

prevented the car flipping, 

and the driver potentially 

being trapped under water. 

One very lucky young fella.

the Rangiora showgrounds from 

9am to 4pm. 

The main drawcard for this year’s

be the flashy red Uncertain T owned 

by Martin Bennet. It is a duplicate 

and tribute of the show-winning 

original Uncertain T built in America 

55 years ago. The Uncertain T won

individuals as well as local car clubs 

planning to take part. 

“We’ve had a huge demand for 

stalls of every description and we 

will have a great t-shirt design for 

sale, so bring some extra money to

Said Croucher: “The only thing 

that stopped his car going into 

the water and turning upside 

down was two tree stumps on the 

bank. If those two tree stumps 

weren’t there and his vehicle 

overturned, we would have been 

looking at a fatality.” 

He had lost control on Trices 

Rd after going onto a grass verge. 

He then clipped a power pole and 

ended up in the water race. 

The vehicle sustained extensive 

damage. The air bags were 

deployed and the 20-year-old 

received minor bruising from his 

seat belt. He was able to get out of 

the vehicle and phone a friend to 

come and pick him up. 

Croucher was made aware of 

the crash about 7am, after a passing 

motorist contacted police.

Prebbleton is set to be home to three new retail and service hubs. Susan Sandys reports 

Construction soon on 

first medical centre 

Phil Jacobs 

Prebbleton is going from 

a town without a medical 

centre, to having two medical 

centres and about five GPs. 

Prebbleton Health project 

manager Ming Goh said the 

co-operative had bought land 

at the site and was to begin 

construction soon, with a view 

to opening at the end 

of the year. 

It was an exciting 

project, particularly 

given that it would 

most likely be the 

first medical centre to 

have ever been built 

in the town. 

“I think it’s been 

lacking that for a very 

long time,” Goh said. 

Three GPs would be based 

at the health centre, which 

would also have pharmacy, 

dentist, podiatrist and physiotherapist. 

Meanwhile, chairman of 

Halswellhealth board Dr Phil 

Jacobs said Prebbleton was a 

logical area to establish a third 

branch of the practice. 

The practice had just 

agreed to purchase a block 

of land at Prebbleton Village 

Shopping Centre and was 

undertaking due diligence 

while awaiting the land title to 

come through. 

There was a lot of development 

under way in Prebbleton 

with retirement villages 

and subdivisions planned. In 

addition, the new site would 

help serve the many patients 

from Prebbleton that the 

practice already had. He believed 

the new medical centre 

would begin with a couple of 

GPs. 

He had heard anecdotally 

of another 

practice looking at 

setting up a surgery in 

the town. 

“That’s not a particular 

concern for us 

because we already 

have quite a substantial 

patient base living 

in Prebbleton, so it’s 

an expansion of our 

own practice really,” Jacobs 

said 

Halswellhealth was established 

about 50 years ago at 

Halswell, and it built a second 

and larger practice in the 

area, at Longhurst, about six 

years ago as patient numbers 

grew. The Longhurst practice 

is its main headquarters, and 

the new Prebbleton branch 

will likely be of a smaller size, 

similar to the original and 

older practice. 

It was too early to say when 

the practice would be built. 

“We have some plans on 

the table which need further 

development,” he said. 

Lofty goals set for 

COMMERCIAL development 

in Prebbleton is striding ahead 

as developers set their goals high 

and aim to meet the growing 

township’s needs. 

Work at a prime-site development 

on Springs Rd will begin 

this month as owners of the 

Prebbleton Village Tavern clear 

old buildings. The Gilmore family 

is planning the Prebbleton 

Village Square project, set to 

include a health centre complete 

with pharmacy, dentist, podiatrist 

and physiotherapist. 

Prebbleton Health, being 

developed by a co-operative of 

health specialists behind the new 

Yaldhurst Health, is likely to be 

one of two new medical centres 

in the town as Halswellhealth 

also plans to set up a branch 

there. 

Shannon Gilmore of Prebbleton 

Village Tavern said his 

family, who had operated the 

tavern for more than 50 years, 

were looking forward to leaving 

a legacy that Prebbleton could be 

proud of for generations to come. 

“Our development will bring 

a community hub concept to 

Prebbleton that will feature 

the best amenities and design, 

planned to meet the needs for 

our growing area,” Gilmore said. 

The project would include 

more than 10 retail, office and 

PROJECT: Shannon Gilmore is excited to bring the 

Prebbleton Village Square to a prime Springs Rd site. 

hospitality services including a 

motel, gym and cinema, as well 

as tavern renovations. A large 

sign at the site announcing the 

project sets a completion date of 

late this year to early next year. 

The district council issued a 

five-year land use consent for the 

7004m2 site in 2018. 

Gilmore said it was fantastic to 

see Prebbleton Health confirmed 

as part of the complex. 

Plans are afoot for another 

retail complex, called Prebbleton 

Village Shopping Centre, where 

Halswellhealth plans to set up its 

Prebbleton base. 

Prebbleton Village Shopping 

Centre will be on Central Ave 

behind the Fresh Choice supermarket, 

Prebbleton’s first big 

supermarket which opened last 

year. 

There are 13 commercial sites, 

up to 450m2 each, for lease or 

purchase, as well as a larger 

section which Halswellhealth has 

agreed to purchase.

Centre spokeswoman Louise 

Urban said the complex would 

be a fantastic shopping centre, 

especially being next door to the 

“extremely busy” Fresh Choice. 

Civil works began in November, 

with an estimated completion date 

of next month, after which construction 

would begin, and be completed 

by August 2021, Urban said. 

As well as the medical centre, 

there was a sushi restaurant and 

café signed up, with interest in 

other sites from a range of businesses 

including a gym and pharmacy, 

she said. 

A third developer, Mon Projects, 

announced plans for the neighbouring 

Prebbleton Village retail 

hub last year. It has a planned 

completion date of March 2022. 

The company plans to provide 

up to 16 tenancies for retail, hospitality 

and wellness/health industry 

professionals. 

The population of the Prebbleton 

township increased by 62.8 per 

cent between 2013 and 2018 to 

4515 residents, and is predicted 

to grow to 5174 by 2025. 

However, it has historically 

been serviced 

by a small row 

of shops on 

the main 

road, with 

no medical 

centre, services 

such as lawyers 

and accountants, gym, cinema or 

supermarket.

DESIRABLE: Louise Urban 

and Brent Rawstron are 

the developers of a new 

town-centre subdivision. 

Developers of a Prebbleton 

town-centre subdivision have 

been overwhelmed with 

interest. 

Rossendale Holidings director 

Brent Rawstron and Urban 

Developments director Louise 

Urban are joint business partners 

in the project on Central 

Ave, next to the planned 


Centre. 

The pair installed a project 

sign at the site on Christmas 

Eve as they launched stage 

one, comprising the first 

five houses. They had about 

20 inquiries over Christmas, 

from a wide range of 

demographics including longtime 

Prebbleton residents 

wanting to downsize, as well 

as younger people wanting to 

enjoy all the amenities of the 

town centre. 

Civic works to install a culde-sac 

from Central Ave and 

other infrastructure was under 

way and would be completed 

by early March, about the 

same time as titles would be 

issued for the sections. 

“It’s phenomenal,” Urban 

said of the interest in the 

project. 

Rawstron said the potential 

buyers were inspired by the

nationwide at the point of collection, 

triggering MPI to place the 

farms under a restrictive place 

legal notice, as per its procedures. 

An RP prohibits all unauthorised 

movements of farm stock and 

other risk goods onto and off the 

property. 

The discovery of the disease 

on the farm had been distressing, 

especially for farm staff, 

and support had been offered to 

them through the Rural Support 

Trust in conjunction with the 

university. 

“The discovery of a positive test 

for the cattle disease Mycoplasma 

bovis has been extremely upsetting 

and disappointing for us,” 

Edwards said. 

“Due to the specialised objectives 

of the research dairy farms, 

care is being taken to minimise 

any potential impact on current 

or future research.” 

Movements of cattle from and 

to the farms was being worked 

through by the eradication programme’s 

casing team. 

“Stringent biosecurity measures 

and practices remain in 

place on all Lincoln University 

farms,’’ Edwards said. 

He was unable to comment on 

the number of cows being culled 

“at this stage of the process.”

herd size of 200 and ADRDS has 

a herd size of more than 500. 

MPI M. bovis programme 

director Stuart Anderson said the 

ministry was working through 

the depopulation plans with the 

two dairy farms, and the final 

number of animals to be culled 

was yet to be determined. 

DairyNZ is applauding the 

accuracy of the bulk tank milk

New Zealand had not detected 

any additional farms, outside of a 

Canterbury cluster.

The district council has 

updated its LIMs page on its 

website, to simplify the application 

system and allow people to 

see when their LIM is likely to be 

issued. 

A LIM Processing Report is 

updated each morning before 

9am and lists all applications, the 

expected date the LIM will be 

issued, and how many days it has 

been since the application was 

received. 

Information services manager 

Neil Cookeson said the district 

council was aware that it is important 

for people to know when 

their LIM is likely to be received. 

“And we’ve been working to 

make things easier for people in 

applying and keeping track of 

their LIM. That’s been particularly 

with the big increase we saw 

in LIM applications last year and 

the ongoing high levels of applications,” 

Cookeson said. 

The district council has also 

added a section to allow people 

to cancel their LIM applications,

also updated the online application 

form to make it easier for 

people to apply for LIMs online. 

LIMs are sought by property 

sellers and buyers, as well as 

valuers and solicitors. They inform 

on what the district council 

knows about the property and 

any issues that may affect it. 

Applications for LIM reports 

hit record levels last year in a 

booming Selwyn district, increasing 

by 20 per cent compared 

to 2019. The district council said 

in December that the volume 

and complexity of building consent 

and LIM applications meant 

it was taking longer than usual to 

process them. 

Selwyn’s population is 

estimated to be 71,200, climbing 

by about 3000 per year according 

to Stats NZ. 

District council forecast 

figures show 27,186 dwellings 

for 2021, increasing to 34,520 by 

2030.

New slide and maintenance at 

Foster Park playground 

A new stainless steel tube slide is being installed at Foster Park 

playground next month during the annual park maintenance. 

The park will be closed for three weeks from Monday 1 February 

to Friday 19 February to install the steel slide and carry out 

annual maintenance. 

The New Zealand-made steel slide will replace the existing plastic 

tube slide, which was closed for much of 2020 due to issues 

with cracking. A shade sail will also be installed to shade the exit 

of the slide. 

The work has been timed for when school is back and when the 

contractor is available to install the new slide, to minimise disruption 

during the holidays. 

Celebrating 

Summer in Selwyn 

Thousands of residents have been enjoying Summer in Selwyn events around the district, with 

more than 40 events still to come. 

The Teddy Bears’ Picnic – always a highlight of Summer in Selwyn – saw more than 1700 children 

and adults, and a host of teddy bears, attending the event last week in Rolleston. 

Council Events and Funding Coordinator Cristene Trenuela-Chan says families and bears alike 

enjoyed a fun day out in the sun. 

“It was a great community event with our MC George Read encouraging bears meeting new 

bears! There was a visit from Captain Hook, Belle and Fairy. Councillor McInnes was the judge for 

the Teddy Bears Parade giving awards for the Fluffiest, Most Loved, Biggest, Cutest, and Most 

Adventurous Teddies” 

People have also been enjoying events including pool parties, the booked-out guided walks and 

the first outdoor movie of the season. 

If you missed these, don’t worry, because the days are jam-packed full of fun for the whole family 

right up until the end of March. 

From new events such as the Selwyn Garden series of speakers at our libraries, or the Selwyn 

Bike Trail Challenge, to annual favourites, like our outdoor movies and picnics – there’s 

something for everyone. 

The final two pool parties of the series are on next week at Southbridge and the Pool of Rock party 

in the main pool at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre in February, where local musicians will be performing. 

Or, if you’re looking for a more relaxed activity we have added extra Picnic in the Park events in 

local townships with 10 picnics to come starting in Prebbleton on Thursday. The Prebbleton picnic 

will be held along with the first Skate Jam of the summer, with Skate Jams held every week on a 

Wednesday or Thursday around the district till the end of February. 

The ever popular ‘A Month of Sundays’, our live music event series featuring local talent and fun 

garden games is back at the Lincoln Green next to Lincoln Library every Sunday afternoon in February. 

For a full list of events go to selwyn.govt.nz/events.

Council carbon footprint mapped 

The Council has taken a significant first step on the road to 

becoming carbon neutral by having its carbon footprint calculated. 

The Council recently undertook an assessment of its carbon 

footprint. The results have been audited and now verified by Toitu 

Envirocare, a subsidiary of Crown Research Institute Manaaki 

Whenua Landcare Research, which specialises in assessing carbon 

footprints and supporting sustainability. 

Total emissions for the 2018/19 year were approximately 

6200 tonnes of ‘CO 2 

equivalent’. Council Solid Waste Manager 

Andrew Boyd, who oversaw the collation of the data for the 

report, says the report is a critical first step to the Council reducing 

its emissions. 

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure. We have a base line 

now, so we understand what makes up our carbon emissions. Next 

we can identify what areas to focus on, and what will make the 

biggest difference.” 

The report shows the Council’s biggest emissions come from 

diesel use by contractors performing services such as roading 

maintenance, water network management, and waste collection on 

behalf of Council, followed by electricity use. Together these make 

up 60 percent of its annual emissions. 

The Council is already well advanced with a project to install LED 

bulbs in all its street lighting, which will reduce electricity use and 

maintenance costs. Further emissions reductions will be considered 

from the report. 

In December, the Council committed to reduce its carbon 

emissions, to carry out regular assessment of risk and opportunities, 

and to report back on its actions, in its first climate change policy. 

It is also committed to reduce its emissions as part of the Zero 

Carbon Act, which sets targets for the country to become carbon 

neutral by 2050.

People who lost their job because of COVID-19 are being offered a chance to kick-start their new 

business idea as part of an innovative new programme. 

The Start Me Up initiative by ChristchurchNZ and the Ministry of Social Development will see successful 

entrepreneurs and business leaders support people whose employment situations have been negatively 

impacted by COVID-19 to start their own business. 

The programme is open to residents in Christchurch, Selwyn and Ashburton districts and who are 

receiving a benefit and had their employment situation impacted during the pandemic. 

Start Me Up will guide potential business owners, or those interested in learning about the start-up 

process, through the process of testing out their concept to see if it has what it takes to be successful. 

It will culminate in a graduation event where participants will be able to showcase their concepts to an 

audience of local businesses, investors and entrepreneurs. 

The programme will be delivered in two stages, with online workshops on the fundamentals of creating 

a business, followed by eight weeks of in-person masterclass workshops. 

The participants will be supported by successful entrepreneurs, mentors and start-up experts from the 

Ministry of Awesome's Te Ōhaka incubator and the University of Canterbury’s ThincLab. 

Diane McDermott, Ministry of Social Development’s Regional Commissioner for Canterbury, said the 

programme’s wrap-around support will demystify the start-up process. 

“Start Me Up will be an opportunity for people 

to see if being a business owner is for them, 

get a handle on the start-up process, and build 

an invaluable network of local support and 

connections.”

Jet boat and trailer 

stolen while owner 

had tyre repaired 


POLICE ARE warning 

motorists to stay with their 

vehicle if it breaks down 

until it can be fixed or 

towed. 

The advice comes after 

a home-made jet boat was 

stolen last week after the 

trailer it was being towed 

on had a tyre puncture 

at the corner of Old West 

Coast and Courtenay Rds. 

The driver left the 

boat and trailer on the 

side of the road shortly 

after noon on Tuesday, 

taking the punctured 

tyre to get repaired. He 

returned about 50min later 

to find the boat and trailer 

gone. 

Darfield Senior 

Constable Andy Grant 

advised motorists not to 

leave vehicles unattended. 

“Our advice is to stay 

with the vehicle, ring a 

friend and get them or a 

tow company to come out 

with a spare tyre, and if 

they have to leave their 

vehicle unattended, maybe 

try and get to the nearest 

farmers’ place and get 

permission to secure the 

vehicle on their property 

while they are away,” Grant 

said.

other vehicle thefts in the 

Selwyn area recently. 

In mid-January there 

had been vehicle thefts in 

the Darfield area, a Polaris 

side-by-side farm vehicle 

had been stolen, as well as 

a couple of quad bikes. 

He advised farmers to 

secure their property, not 

leave keys in vehicles, and 

report any such thefts as 

soon as possible. 

Early last week there 

had been several vehicles 

broken into, either through

“Start Me Up will be an

Harker urged anyone 

having their car broken 

into to let police know as 

soon as possible, and to try 

not to disturb any forensic 

evidence which may be on 

the inside or outside of the 

car, such as fingerprints. 

There had also been a 

couple of cars stolen from 

Christchurch and driven to 

rural roads around Lincoln 

and then set alight. 

Harker advised residents 

that if they saw any suspicious 

activity, such as vehicles 

in convoy travelling to 

a remote area, late at night 

or in the early hours of the 

morning, to report it to 

police.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Free computing course 

delivers unexpected benefits 

A simple desire to become more confident 

using computers has opened up a world of 

possibilities for business owner Thomas King. 

For the past 20 years, Thomas has been a codirector 

of a logistics business. Over that time 

he’s seen huge changes in the way business is 

conducted. 

“The world is rapidly changing and to keep 

pace with it, having some confidence and 

competence in computing is crucial,” he says. 

“I realised that I’d have to embrace this scary 

but exciting new tech-driven world sooner or 

later, and now here I am today, loving what I 

once feared.” 

Thomas took his first steps in computing at 

an Ara Connect community hub, one of several 

in Christchurch. Each Ara Connect hub offers 

free, non-assessed computing courses for 

anyone wanting to gain skills and confidence 

using digital technology. 

Thomas says the tutors at Ara Connect 

welcomed him warmly, made learning an 

enjoyable experience and were very supportive. 

“I felt so inspired during my journey and this 

is a reflection of the good folk who work 

at Ara. They’re very attentive and always 

eager to assist. They want you to succeed 

and they encourage you to push your 

boundaries without ever throwing you in 

the deep end.” 

Discovering something new and amazing 

every time he got on a computer was one 

of the things Thomas enjoyed most about 

his time at Ara. “There are some amazing 

apps and software out there just waiting to 

be discovered. I’ve especially fallen in love 

with collaboration tools which can help me 

complete a host of project management tasks. 

What I learned was mindboggling and I realise 

now that we haven’t even really scratched the 

surface of these amazing tools and how useful 

they can be.” 

Having now completed a New Zealand 

Certificate in Computing (Advanced User), 

Thomas is considering further study and 

possibly a complete career change. “I’m keeping 

my options open but a future in IT is becoming 

more likely for me with every passing day.” 

His advice for anyone else considering 

the computing courses at Ara Connect is to 

just go for it. “You have the chance to add an 

invaluable credential to your CV, and the Level 

3 and 4 certificates are a great way to prepare 

for further study in any subject. Knowing how 

to use computers in a way that delivers results 

can make life so much easier, especially in the 

world of business. I certainly wish I’d taken 

courses like these two decades ago. My advice 

is to pluck up the courage and just go for it.”

Pinning hopes on style, 

glamour and talent 

to win pin-up title 


SHARVELLE Mackay is 

practising her catwalk, 

1950s-style, for the 

upcoming Very Vintage 

Day Out in Auckland. 

As one of seven recentlyannounced 

finalists for 

Miss Pinup New Zealand, 

the Rolleston 30-year-old 

will compete for the title at 

the event on April 10. 

As well as getting 

together outfits for a day 

wear, beach wear, evening 

wear and talent section, 

Mackay is refining her 

catwalk, complete with 

vintage poses and elegance, 

channelling mid-20th 

century glamour. 

For the talent section, 

Mackay, with the stage 

name Miss Chevy Chevelle, 

plans to sing a 1950s 

classic. 

She is also preparing to 

answer questions on stage. 

Although not sure what 

these may be, she has given 

some thought to what winning 

the Miss Pinup title 

would mean to her. 

“I know as New Zealanders 

we can be quite hard 

on ourselves, I would like 

to be an example of kindness 

and encouragement,” 

Mackay said. 

“These were qualities 

that could help bring about 

togetherness and unity,’’ 

Mackay is a long-time 

fan of all things vintage, 

first developing the passion 

travelling in her family’s 

vintage cars as she grew 

up, and performing in musicals 

at her school when 

she was a teenager. 

In recent years this 

passion has grown into 

participating in pageants, 

as the mother of two, and

wife to husband Phil, 

sought to push past the 

comfort zone, and build 

her confidence. 

“Now I just love doing it, 

it’s fun.” 

Last year she won the 

Miss Retro Classic title, 

following being a runnerup 

in 2019 for Miss Rockabilly 

Belle. 

Miss Pinup was her first 

nationwide pageant. It was 

exciting to have made the 

finalists’ list and be representing 

the Selwyn and 

wider Canterbury area, she 

said. 

Mackay runs the Selwyn 

Pinup and Rockabilly 

Hunnies social group at 

Rolleston. 

She is holding a pageant 

herself next month, one 

at the Hanmer Motorfest, 

and will be judging at 

another, the Muscle 

Car Madness event at 

Rangiora, this weekend.

‘Major projects come to fruition’ 

Sam 

Broughton 

Selwyn Mayor 

SELWYN IS an awesome place 

to live, work and play and a 

recent crime survey showed we 

are the safest place to live in New 

Zealand – that’s great news. 

These are some of the reasons 

why, last year, more people and 

their whānau chose to move to 

Selwyn above any other district 

across our country. 

They are attracted by a simple 

word – opportunity. The opportunity 

to live in one of our 

friendly and thriving rural 

communities, or to find a forever 

home in one of our growing 

townships. Big enough to offer 

diversity of employment, 

fantastic education and amazing 

facilities, but still small enough 

to offer a strong sense of community, 

identity and affordable 

housing. 

In recent years, we have carefully 

planned and managed the 

way our district has grown. We 

are proud that we have managed 

to protect the environment, 

future proof our infrastructure 

and help our economy and communities 

grow in a sustainable 

way. 

This year is a milestone for 

Selwyn and you will see many of 

our major projects come to fruition 

in 2021. The new eight-court 

indoor sports facility will open 

at Foster Park, right next to the 

new 10-lane, 25m pool extension 

to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

Our centre piece library 

project, Te Ara Ātea, is due to 

be opened in the spring and 

finally Selwyn’s new Health Hub 

will bring some specialist medical 

services to your doorstep, 

including an MRI scanner and 

a primary birthing unit. All 

UPGRADE: The Te Ara Atea library and community centre

Hub will include specialist medical services, such as an MRI 

scanner and a primary birthing unit. 

GROWING: The new eight-court indoor sports facility is due to open at Foster Park this year. 

It will be next to the new 10-lane, 25m pool extension at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

these facilities have been built in 

response to your feedback. 

We are constantly asking our 

communities what you want the 

future Selwyn to look like and 

I’d like to share some of that 

feedback with you. 

After receiving initial feedback 

for our new Long Term Plan at 

the end of last year, we took note 

of some of your key points. 

You said maintaining Selwyn’s 

‘distinct rural character’ is very 

important, and I agree. 

Of the key things we do in 

council, the ones you rated as 

most important were ‘maintaining 

drinking water quality, 

providing green spaces, and 

providing and maintaining safe 

local roads.’ I was also pleased to 

read that you said, on average, 

we’ve got the amount we spend 

on most of our core services 

about right. 

As we embark on this new 

year, we will take your feedback 

into account and weave it into 

our planning. Selwyn has done 

well in the past decade and I am 

keen that, as we grow over the 

next 10 years, we are equally as 

successful and we build a Selwyn 

that we can be proud to leave for 

our children.

Aussie Rules career still Wilder’s goal 

• By Chris Barclay 

KRIS WILDER is primed for 

another season of AFL in New 

Zealand – and the Lincoln rugby 

stalwart is not yet abandoning 

plans to pursue an Aussie Rules 

career across the Tasman. 

It is a long shot for the goalkicking 

full forward, but the 

28-year-old still has ambitions 

to play for an AFL feeder club if 

and when Covid-19 allows. 

Wilder, who grew up bemused 

by Australia’s country-wide 

oval ball code when his father 

watched Collingwood, was 

drafted by the Western Crows 

for the first time last year. 

He made a big enough impression 

to be retained for the fifth 

edition of the North Harbour 

Stadium-based four-team 

premiership, which starts on 

February 14. 

“It’ll be great to get up there 

for my second year,” said Wilder, 

who only meets up with his 

teammates on game day. 

In another boost, local builder 

Jeremy Brown is sponsoring 

Wilder’s participation fee – $500 

covers return flights to Auckland, 

transport, food and physio 

treatment and kit. 

The eight-round schedule is 

hardly a springboard to the AFL 

proper, though Wilder is still 

open to relocating to one of the 

code’s heartlands after what is 

likely to be his last division one 

season. 

“I’ve been asked this a few 

times (about playing in Australia). 

People who ask don’t 

realise playing in the actual AFL 

… you’ve probably got more 

chance winning Lotto coming 

from here,” he said. 

“You get a bunch of 18 to 

19-year-olds from Australia 

coming over here, they’ll towel 

SETTING GOALS: Kris 

Wilder aims to bring up 

100 appearances for the 

Lincoln rugby club before 

potentially heading to 

Australia to develop an 

AFL career. PHOTO (above):

us up by a hundred.” 

The Casey Demons or Box 

Hill Hawks’ lists would be hard 

to crack as well, but nothing 

ventured, nothing gained. 

“I’ll talk with my partner. We 

were thinking about going to 

Aussie at some stage. If that does 

happen my goal would be to get 

picked up by a feeder team.” 

Wilder, who needs 11 or 12 

games to bring up the century 

for Lincoln, also has an AFL goal 

in 2021, selection for the New 

Zealand Falcons – the equivalent 

of the All Blacks or All Whites – 

and hopes international games 

can be staged in spite of the 

pandemic. 

He said Brad Mabor, a teammate 

at Lincoln, encouraged 

him to have a serious go at AFL, 

Mabor also juggled both sports, 

playing several AFL New Zealand 

campaigns. 

“I’d easily watch an AFL game 

on a Friday night over a rugby 

game to be fair,” said Wilder, 

who has adopted the Perth-based 

West Coast Eagles. 

Still, rugby is still the focal 

point on a Saturday for the midfield 

back. 

“Hopefully, this will be a 

normal season (no Covid disruption) 

and I should get there (to a 

hundred games). 

“It’d be a good way to sign off 

on a good few years out there,” 

said Wilder, who now lives in 

Bishopdale. 

Double duties for Webb at Ruapuna 

• By Allan Batt 

ROLLESTON’S JEREMY Webb 

could create some history this 

weekend when he contests the 

New Zealand TQ Grand Prix 

and the South Island Midget 

Car Championship at Ruapuna 

Speedway. 

Webb is 

defending 

midget car 

champion 

and a former 

winner of the 

TQ Grand 

Prix and is 

favoured to do 

Jeremy Webb 

well in both, 

but one driver 

winning two 

different championship events 

on the same night is a very rare 

occurrence. 

Webb raced for the 

EXPERIENCED: Webb at the wheel of his TQ, he is hoping to 

add his name again on the grand prix trophy. 

internationally-acclaimed United 

Truck Parts team in the North 

Island during the holiday break, 

and while he met with mixed 

success there is little doubt that 

he has returned to Ruapuna 

battle-hardened and ready for 

two busy nights of racing. 

Forty cars have entered the 

TQ Grand Prix with Webb’s 

long time arch rival Aucklander 

Ryan Barry, who leads a 16- 

car strong contingent from 

the North Island. Barry, who 

finished second behind Webb 

will be 

very keen to come out on top. 

The grand prix event starts 

on Friday night with the first 

three rounds of qualifying 

heats. Friday’s programme will 

also feature a ‘one-off’ resurrection 

of the TQ Masters which 

was a popular event for many 

seasons. This year the masters 

will be fought out over one 20- 

lap race. 

Saturday night will be very 

busy for Webb as he does double 

duty in the remainder of the TQ 

races, as well as defending his 

South Island Midget Car Championship 

title. 

Webb will face stiff 

competition in the event which, 

although it only has 10 entrants, 

will be hotly contested by a field, 

very even in equipment and 

ability. 

Sentimental favourites 

are likely to be former New 

Zealand TQ champion Glen 

Durie (Rolleston) who has 

been in patchy form this 

season, and veteran David Kerr 

(Leeston) who has amassed an 

unparalleled eight South Island 

crowns. 

Kerr, who started racing midgets 

16 years ago remains highly 

competitive. 

Others expected to shine 

are a former title-holder Tom 

Lumsden (Southbridge) and 

Rangiora’s Jack Low, both 

acquitting themselves well at 

Western Springs, Auckland, over 

the holiday break.


Getting back into a sleep 

routine after the holidays 

The summer holidays are so much fun 

for children of all ages, and often this fun 

has stretched long into the light summer 

evenings, creating later bedtimes. 

However with earlier school mornings 

coming and children needing sufficient 

sleep to learn effectively, it’s time to get 

back into a term-time sleep routine! 

Create a relaxing routine 

Whether it’s a bath, reading a book or 

listening to soothing music, children 

usually have a favourite way to wind 

down. Allow plenty of time for a relaxing 

bedtime routine, particularly if you are 

also working on gradually moving the 

bedtime routine earlier. 

Bedroom review 

It can be impossible for children to settle 

down to sleep if they are hot and sticky at 

bedtime. Look at ways to cool down your 

children’s rooms and make settling more 

likely! Invest in a fan, make sure they have 

very light summer bedding (such as using 

a duvet cover with no inner), cool summer 

PJs and blackout blinds. 

A gradual return to term-time 

lights out 

If your child has been falling asleep at 

10pm and you want to move back to an 

8pm bedtime, you’ll get a lot of resistance 

if you try to make the change in one go! 

Allow up to a week to gradually move 

bedtime earlier, bringing the lights out 

time earlier by 15 minutes a night. That 

way you allow your child’s body clock 

to slowly adjust and also your child can 

gradually change their activities and 

expectations around bedtime. 

Bedtime versus Lights Out time 

Try using the concept of Lights Out time. 

This is the not negotiable time during the 

school term and shorter holidays. Have 

each child in bed at least 30 minutes before 

their Lights Out time so they know when 

their lights go out, they need to be ready 

for sleep. As a guideline, try Lights Out 

at the following times: Age 4 - 7:15pm, 

Age 7 - 7:30pm, Age 9 - 8:00pm, Age 12 - 

9:00pm. 

Gadgets off 

The hour before bed should be a noelectronics 

zone. Studies show the light 

from backlit electronics (like tablets, 

smartphones and video 

games) can disrupt children’s 

ability to fall—and stay— 

asleep. 

Dial down the screen 

time 

Screen time can easily 

increase over the holidays, 

as children have had more 

free time and have gravitated 

to some of their favourite 

activities. So a biggie for 

getting back to their termtime 

sleep is to reduce screen 

time back to what you allow 

outside of the holidays. A 

good rule of thumb is to 

try to limit recreational screen time to 

60 minutes every day. And for every 30 

minutes of screen time, make sure your 

kids get 30 minutes of physical activity. 

Consider banning hand-held 

devices from your child’s bedroom 

Have a family gadget charging zone, 

where all devices are charged overnight 

and no gadgets stay in children’s bedrooms 

overnight. The burst of light from a phone 

(even if it’s just to check the time) can 

make getting to sleep or resettling difficult. 

A regular alarm clock is recommended for 

seeing the time and the actual alarm. 

Sleep Trainer Clocks are still 

handy 

Often parents start using a sleep trainer 

clock, such as a gro clock, with early 

waking toddlers. But they are still very 

useful with pre-schoolers and school 

age children, particularly if they are not 

confident telling the time. The clock says 

it’s bedtime and the clock says it’s morning 

time, which can help with those resistant 

to getting back into getting up for school!

Lincoln High, ‘building awesome 

young men’ 

2020 has been a year that has placed so many of 

our community in positions where we have had to 

think outside the box. For a small team at LHS, this 

has indeed been the case. With the participation and 

achievement of male students declining nationally 

we have thought outside the box and created our 

‘Building Awesome Young Men’ programme. This 

programme alongside the many other amazing 

extra-curricular offerings at Lincoln, enables male 

students from Year 7-13 at LHS and our primary 

schools, to participate and engage in some incredible 

opportunities and activities focussed on developing 

their confidence, challenging their boundaries and 

supporting and educating about their wellbeing. 

In 2020, these have included: crossfit workouts, 

mindfulness, yoga, CHCH Adventure Park, BAYM 

breakfast at Larcombs with Mark Inglis. 2021 is 

looking even more amazing with sunrise surfing, 

overnight Matariki trip to Rapaki Marae for taiaha 

and wakaama and a five day traverse of the South 

Island. 

What has been really special about BAYM is that it 

has received so much support from our community. 

A big thank you to our 2020 sponsor – Selwyn 

Strength. Without our community behind us – none 

of these opportunities would be possible. 

Let’s begin.

Tips to help your child 

succeed at school 

Investing in your child’s education 

is more than just buying books and 

uniforms. When you actively stay in 

touch with your child’s school and 

be involved in your child’s learning 

experience, you give both your child and 

the school the opportunity for a positive 

outcome. 

1. Meet your child’s teacher – As 

soon as school begins go along and 

introduce yourself and let the teacher 

know you are invested in your child’s 

education. 

2. Know who is responsible for 

what at your child’s school – 

There are plenty of people there to 

help your child learn and grow, such 

as the principal, specialist teachers, 

administrators, librarian, Board of 

trustees, PTA, etc. 

3. Learn what the school offers 

and keep up-to-date with what’s 

happening – Check your child’s bag 

weekly for newsletters or check your 

school’s website information. 

4. Support your child at school 

throughout the year – Regularly 

attend the parent-teacher meetings. Talk 

to your child before you go and find 

out if they have any concerns, how they 

feel about school. At the meeting ask 

questions such as: is your child settled 

at school, does your child participate, is 

your child progressing as expected, does 

the teacher have any concerns, and what 

can you do at home to help your child? 

5. Make sure that your child gets 

homework done – Ask your child 

if they get homework and make sure 

there is somewhere quiet in your home 

where they can do their homework. 

Create a routine that allows time for their 

homework as well as some leisure time. 

6. Volunteer at your child’s school 

and/or join your school’s Parent- 

Teacher Association (PTA) – Being 

part of your child’s school life allows 

you to actively participate and make 

decisions that benefit the school and 

help with learning opportunities, 

whether it is as a parent-help in class 

or raising funds for the school. 

7. Be an advocate for your child – 

Make sure your child knows that you are 

there for them, that you will ask questions 

on their behalf, support them when they 

need it and follow up on their concerns.

We’re heading 

back to school 

Please watch out for us 

selwyn.govt.nz 

Over 10,000 learners 

on the move in 2021! 

Over 10,000 Selwyn learners will be 

travelling back to school soon – that’s 

nearly 20% of our population out and 

about and on the move. 

Selwyn School Road Safety Coordinator 

Stephanie Hautler is asking 

everyone to keep their eyes peeled for 

young people heading back to school 

by foot and on wheels. “A lot of our 

little people will be really distracted 

when heading back to school with the 

excitement of seeing their friends and 

meeting new teachers, so it’s important 

to slow down and be alert when driving,” 

says Mrs Hautler. 

With the more settled weather, it’s a 

great opportunity to get active with your 

child. If you are pushed for time, park 

your car a block back from school so your 

child can still get the scooting or walking 

experience. It is good for them both 

physically and mentally, develops their 

road safety skills and helps with overall 

congestion at the school gate. 

“Road safety awareness is a vital life 

skill and starts developing when you are 

young. Take every opportunity to educate 

children on how to safely cross a road 

using their eyes and ears,” Mrs Hautler 

says. “A fluro yellow vest makes your child 

visible in poor weather as well as bright 

sun. Most schools have them available for 

free or a small cost and they really make a 

difference.” 

School travel safety tips: 

• Be bright be seen, ask your school for 

a safety vest. 

• Tackle the routes together talking 

about sneaky driveways and blind corners. 

• Get out and active together to reduce 

the chaos at the school gate. 

• Wear your helmets, this goes for 

caregivers too, young people are watching 

you! 

Road safety resources for parents 

and children are available from

ADVERTISING 

A rare opportunity to purchase an acclaimed 

piece of Canterbury History now beckons 

Tucked away for decades and unbeknown to probably 

most of the district sits a stunning piece of Selwyn 

heritage - Kirwee House. Following the Colonial Wars 

in India and as a reward for almost 35 years continual 

service to the British Army Colonel de Renzie Brett was 

awarded safe passage to New Zealand and was granted 

right to purchase 1000 

acres in Canterbury. 

After months at sea in 

one of the early settlor 

ships ‘the Greyhound’ 

and amongst many 

deaths that regularly 

occurred on board, he 

arrived with family into 

Lyttleton in September 

1865 and commenced 

the build of Kirwee 

House. The township 

of Kirwee was actually 

named by Colonel Brett 

(originally called Karwi) 

after a village that 

he had fought for in rural 

India. The township 

carries several street 

names that reflect his 

significance in the district. 

The property sits 

on Courtenay Road as 

the original homestead 

of the area. 

The build initially 

consisted of three separate 

buildings including 

his servants quarters 

and sees some of the 

original Oregon pine 

used as flooring which was the ballast 

from the settlor ships themselves and 

to this day sit as a proud reminder of 

the ingenuity of these colonial built 

properties. Windows are all hand 

made to reflect the influence of Indian 

styling and resembles 

shapes of the Taj 

Mahal. Even planting 

of the well-established 

gardens is said to be 

a reflection of the position 

of his troops in 

the battle of Karwi and 

is a magical example 

of this character and 

history this home 

offers. 

Colonel Brett, 

after witnessing firsthand 

what could be 

achieved in India 

with water races was 

a prominent figure in the creation of 

what we see today. Whilst he attempted 

to seek local authority approval 

to take water from the local river he 

came up against local bureaucracy and 

after some frustration, allegedly did it 

anyway, and to this day the use of water 

races remains a reliable and efficient 

way to in bringing water to the parched 

areas of the Canterbury plains. 

With typical Irish humour and short 

wick, Colonel Brett “took on” on the 

local established Canterbury Club, 

which he simply couldn’t connect with. 

Instead, he formed his own ‘Canterbury 

Club’, where it is recorded that many a dance and 

function were held (including rugby training on stormy 

nights) in the property’s barn, which still stands today. 

This property has been in the same family for decades 

and this once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a 

piece of history and lends itself to a possible wedding 

venue or country B&B with an abundance of stunning 

locations and its own two level newly built cottage, 

which overlooks its own pond. 

Paul Robinson of RE/MAX Eclipse in Rolleston is 

honoured to have been selected as agent to find its new 

owners and welcomes enquiries, some of which have 

already been high including calls from England. For 

open homes and viewing times, please contact Paul 

Robinson on 021 277 2690 

DEADLINE SALE 

1470 Courtenay Road, Kirwee, Canterbury 

Kirwee House - Steeped in History 

A chance to purchase an acclaimed piece of Canterbury History now beckons. Kirwee House, originally Built by Colonel Brett in 1865 

has been occupied by the same family for decades and now the time has come to pass the torch of ownership of its stunning history. 

Built at a time where the colonial ships were bringing the pioneers from the UK and Ireland to Canterbury, this home which originally 

consisted of 3 separate buildings now carefully bridged to present a home with 6 plus bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an abundance of 

style and grace and even harbours the original wooden flooring of the ships themselves. 

The Homestead is complimented by a recently built 2 bedroom minor dwelling which sits proudly beside its own duck pond and boldly 

brings in panoramic views of Banks Peninsular. A perfect scenario for extended family. 

Consisting of a land parcel of 30 Acres, with the original barn along with a more recent addition of stables with high stud and storage 

sheds offers multiple options. Stunning Landscaping with a large orchard captivates the serenity that has been established over 150 

years ago but has stood the test of time to become an important piece of our colonial history. 

Nestled close to one of the districts fastest growing regions option will be enormous with possible wedding venue, Homestay or 

perhaps some other direction exists.

continuing education 

The challenges we have all faced in 2020 

have proved to us at the Christchurch School 

of Music, just how important music is to 

our well-being, a sense of purpose and an 

opportunity to communicate and collaborate 

with others to create something very special. 

It was wonderful for us to see the 

excitement and enthusiasm of our students 

on the first day back at rehearsals as soon 

as we came out of Level 2. “ I didn’t realise 

how much I loved orchestra until we went 

into lockdown and I missed it so much” 

Comments like this were very common 

on the first day back. We may have had to 

sanitise our hands, sit socially distanced 

from our friends in the ensemble, spray our 

chairs and stands between groups but it was 

all worth it just to have the chance to make 

music again. 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in 

and around Christchurch. We believe 

passionately in the power of music to 

promote well-being and joy in people’s 

lives and we constantly strive to ensure our 

kaupapa meets the needs of all the students 

in our care. 

On a Saturday morning the whole family 

can find something to suit. Preschool and 


christchurch School of Music 

junior school children can start their musical 

journey by joining in our “Take Off with 

Music” classes while older children and 

adults may opt for lessons on a specific 

instrument (including voice). Those who 

already play are welcome to join in one 

of the great ensembles which all take part 

in regular concerts. Our students enjoy 

ensembles in a wide range of genres from 

classical through to choral, jazz, rock and 

world music. 

Age is no limit - our Late Starters 

programme provides the opportunity for 

adults to learn an instrument and join an 

ensemble with other like-minded adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also 

offers a range of weekday opportunities 

for learning and playing music and, if 

affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to 

offer a discount through funding provided 

by the Rata Foundation and CERT. 

Come and join us and start on a musical 

journey that will bring joy for a lifetime.

GARDENING 

Still time to get fresh veges on the table 

HERE IN THE southern 

hemisphere, the Christmas and 

New Year holidays probably 

arrive at the worst possible time 

for the garden, especially the 

summer vege garden. 

At this time of the year, 

temperatures are normally 

high and there is little or no 

rainfall (although great for 

holidaymakers!) 

Returning from a relaxing 

holiday, the garden often looks 

like a serious challenge and 

in many instances there is 

WHETHER YOU’RE going away 

on holiday or staying put, the 

prospect of watering the garden 

– container plants in particular – 

can put a real dampener on your 

summer. 

The easy answer would be to 

just put all container plants into 

the garden and be done with the 

fussing. 

However, there’s no denying 

that a few well-chosen container 

plants bring a decorative flourish 

to bland deserts of paving and 

deck. 

They are invaluable, too, for 

standing like bouncers beside 

entrances or enhancing the end of 

some clever vista you have carved 

out of your plot. 

However, as plant accommodation, 

rather than providing 

a luxury getaway, pots and 

containers are more like a prison 

sentence, with water and food 

limited and excess sun and wind 

in exposed locations. 

This means you need to be 

cunning with your compost and a 

wizard with your choice of green 

matter. 

Why is it that weeds can abseil 

their way into a pot and look 

so healthy while the plant you 

intended to shine on its glazed 

pedestal looks anaemic and spindly? 

I suspect it’s because most of 

us are unrealistic about the level 

of maintenance we will need to 

lavish on our charges. 

It’s tempting to go for muti-coloured 

pot plants but such highoctane 

performance demands 

the pampering of a movie star – 

weekly deadheading and feeding 

and almost daily watering, 

so it’s really only for the keenest 

enthusiast. 

Spring bulbs are another classic 

disaster area – irresistible when 

we see the pictures at the garden 

centre but a disaster a fortnight 

after the party is over when we 

fail to follow up after the leaves 

and flowers at the start of the year 

have flopped and faded. 

Stick them in plastic containers 

before sinking them inside a 

classy bit of earthenware. 

Later, out they go to make way 

for a more permanent successor. 

It is a mistake to assume special 

new plants somehow deserve a 

temptation to abandon the entire 

garden altogether. 

But don’t give up. There are still 

months of warm weather ahead 

in which your summer garden 

can thrive, especially your vege 

garden which can continue to 

produce plenty of fresh food for 

the table. 

Preparation of beds before 

planting is always one of the keys 

to success and is never more 

important than in planting a 

summer garden. 

Ensure copious amounts of

prime spot in a container right 

outside the ranchsliders. 

Plant them in the ground where 

they will get their roots down and 

draw deep for summer moisture 

instead. And if you want to see 

them, get off your bum and go 

out in to the garden and look. 

If your soil is heavy, spend 

some effort planting them 

on mounds and improve soil 

structure with plenty of grit and 

compost. 

The most successful pot plants 

are tried and tested toughies that 

will survive on neglect. 

Essentials include succulents, 

flaxes, native xeronema and 

epiphytic plants, which are used 

to hanging out like a shoestring. 

Epiphytes include spiky astelias as 

compost are added to the existing 

soil prior to planting or sowing 

seeds, then mulch around the 

young plants with more compost. 

This will improve the soil texture 

as well as helping retain moisture. 

Replant quick maturing 

veges such as spinach, rocket, 

radish, salad greens and dwarf 

beans. 

Revitalise existing 

tomato and bean plants by 

adding compost, removing 

old growth and applying a side 

dressing of fertiliser (water it in

well as other native foliage plants 

such as Griselinia lucida and 

pseudopanax – both of which are 

amazingly drought-tolerant. 

Don’t mingle too many specimens 

in one confined space 

because fights are bound to break 

out. Instead, give each its own 

home but herd pots together to 

create communities of contrasting 

forms and textures. 

As with your wardrobe there 

will always be the classics that 

never go out of fashion and which 

form the backbone of your collection. 

Succulents are foolproof. 

Choose the dramatic ones such 

as aloes and softer euphorbias 

or those which are able to bungy 

over the sides of even the tallest 

well). 

Applying mulch and feed 

around your vege plants will not 

only improve soil water retention 

but will also help suppress weeds. 

Provide shelter to the more 

exposed parts of your garden as 

hot winds dry soils very quickly 

and can cause ‘stress’ to young 

plants. 

Be vigilant with insects in the 

garden. When temperatures rise, 

pests such as aphids, white fly and 

passion fly hopper can multiply at 

an astounding rate. 

of drums. One such is Sedum 

morganianum with its waxy grey 

dreadlocks. Neat topiary balls, 

cones and humps, whether it 

be box or native coprosma and 

corokia, have minimal water 

requirements, but don’t discount 

conifers which are surprisingly 

drought-tolerant. 

Bromeliads never outgrow their 

place in a pot if sited sensitively. 

Some, such as neoregelias and 

alcantarias, require full sun but 

many of the vrieseas need more 

shade. 

Never underestimate the class 

of one substantial foliage star. 

Even something as simple as a 

large agapanthus in sun or a clivia 

or specimen fern in shade will be 

dependable staples which, like a 

little black dress, always earn their 

place on the rail. 

Get the best out of container 

plants by providing ideal conditions. 

Always choose a good quality 

compost for containers. Soil or 

loam-based products retain water 

and nutrients better. 

Top pots up with a slow release 

fertiliser every year, especially if 

you never supplement with the 

occasional liquid feed. 

Water-retaining gels are effective 

when repotting plants but 

don’t rely on them alone. A good 

old-fashioned saucer to catch water 

under a pot and a thick mulch 

at the top are just as useful. 

If you are away in summer, 

shunt the containers into a sheltered 

shady corner.

Hydroseeding perfect 

solution for the perfect lawn 

Hydroseeding is a cost effective and 

efficient way of creating a new, great 

looking lawn without the hassle of 

growing a new lawn from scratch. 

Locally owned by Zac and Ashley 

Swale, Canterbury Lawns specialises in 

hydroseeding, a spray-on application 

of water, grass seed, wood fibre mulch, 

fertiliser and tackifier (a glue which 

holds the mix to the surface it is sprayed 

on). This method gives the best chance 

for the seeds to germinate and become 

your beautiful green and luscious lawn. 

Providing it is well maintained and the 

conditions are right, it takes four to six 

weeks to see the results. 

Hydroseeding can be done any time of 

the year as the products used are suited 

to the season but in summer your lawn 

will germinate much faster. Watering, 

however, is key and Zac recommends 

having an automated irrigation system 

installed to make the job easier, more 

convenient and more efficient in terms 

of water use and can advise regarding 

the best type of sprinklers for your 

needs. 

Zac and the team are also specialists 

in erosion and dust control for both 

commercial and residential areas. Their 

hydroseeder can hold large quantities at 

a time making the job more efficient and 

they can source top quality products to 

suit each job. 

Canterbury Lawns also installs roll-out 

instant lawns using top quality products 

which are locally sourced and, as part 

of their service, clients are given an 

advice care sheet after the job has been 

completed so they can confidently caring 

for their new lawn. 

Landscaping is another part of the 

Canterbury Lawns service whether 

you need garden preparation, site 

clearing, a new fence, paving or decking. 

They not only work close to home on 

residential properties but also specialise 

in commercial and larger-scale work, 

bringing to any job a high level of both 

expertise and enthusiasm.

Extending the life 

of your spouting 

Birds nesting in your home’s spouting is not only 

be a noise issue but the eggs and young chicks can 

also attract vermin which can then get inside roof 

cavities and chew through wiring creating a fire 

hazard within your home. 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard is an effective way 

of preventing birds from making nests in the 

spouting and soiling walls and windows with their 

droppings. The guards can also protect tank water 

from being contaminated, ensuring the safety and 

quality of the water supply. 

Another key advantage of Gumleaf Gutter Guard 

is that it prevents leaf litter from gathering in the 

spouting. 

“Leaf litter remains damp and acidic and that 

wrecks the spouting,” says owner Rohan. 

“By having Gumleaf Gutter Guard installed, the 

life of the spouting is extended to the life of the 

roof.” 

Snow can also damage spouting, and again 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard will protect the spouting 

by spreading the load, Rohan says. 

Developed in Australia more than 20 years 

ago, Gumleaf Gutter Guard has been providing 

a quality and effective solution in New Zealand 

for the last decade, Rohan says. Much of his work 

comes from repeat business, with customers 

happy with both the product quality and the 

service he provides. 

Customers requesting a quote will receive 

it within 24 hours, and Rohan says he will “go 

anywhere to provide a quote”. 

He is also available Monday to Saturday to speak 

to customers who call him. 

“Even if I am working on a job, I will talk to 

anyone who calls me,” he says. 

Once a quote is accepted, the job is started 

within 10 days, with installation on an average 

sized house taking one to two days. Rohan also 

does any necessary minor repair jobs on the roof at 

the same time. 

To discuss your requirements with Gumleaf 

Gutter Guard, phone 0800

Buying a barbecue 

With summer here and hot weather 

predicted for the coming month, along 

with the widespread sales around, it 

is a great time to either buy your first 

barbecue or upgrade your old model. 

Firstly, prices can go up to $7000, 

depending on the size of your chosen 

grill, the number of features it boasts and 

the quality of its construction. 

Gas barbecues can to be more expensive 

while charcoal requires more time to get 

going as the embers need to be piping hot 

to cook the food properly, although if you 

invest in a chimney starter you can speed 

up the process be cooking in 15 minutes. 

The taste from a charcoal barbecue is 

distinctive because the cooking is slower 

so the moisture in the meat makes it more 

succulent. With a gas barbecue this extra 

moistness can be copied by using woodchips 

in foil with holes in it. 

Gas barbecues allow you to start 

cooking almost immediately. As the 

temperature is regulated, gas tends to 

cook more evenly than charcoal. On some 

machines with multiple burners you can 

cook food at different temperatures. This 

is handy for foods that require varying 

heat intensities. 

Many barbecues come without a hood, 

but it is worth looking for one that does 

have a lid, making it more versatile than 

an open grill and making it easier to 

control the heat. 

When considering the size of barbecue 

think about what you’re going to cook. A 

standard grill works well for steaks but 

if you are cooking burgers and sausages 

for a large group of people you will need 

a bigger space. Warming racks are also 

handy. 

If you are intending to cook food that 

would possibly slip through the grill (such 

as eggs) then a model with a hot plate 

would be handy. Other models have side 

burners for sauces, boiling potatoes or 

vegetables. 

Also consider the practicalities, such as 

where you will store the barbecue when 

not in use. If it is placed outside a fitted 

cover is a good investment. 

Once you have done the initial thinking 

about your requirements, visit one of the 

many retail outlets and happy grilling.

Happy New Year 

from intelligro 

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and 

brought in the new year in style. 

January and February are harsh months on the garden with the 

temperatures rising and little rain. Water management is important at 

this time of year, and maximising your irrigating is important. Watering 

in the early morning or evening is the best time, rather than the heat 

of the day where a lot of water is lost due to evaporation. 

We have a great range 

of sprinklers and hoses 

in store to help you 

combat the lack of rain! 

Adding a layer of bark 

or mulch to your garden 

will help to lock in the 

moisture too.

Upgrade for desirable Subaru XV 

SORED CONTENT 

I THOUGHT I had cracked 

it – convincing my wife that a 

new car would be a good idea 

and, what’s more, it was she who 

brought up the subject. 

She had just driven Subaru’s 

new XV sport utility vehicle and 

told me how much she enjoyed 

the experience, saying it felt of 

quality through and through, 

and it was good to be behind the 

wheel of. She then asked about 

the price and suggested that it 

was a car of far higher value than 

that of its $42,490 price tag. 

That’s the price of the Premium 

model, a lower specification 

variant without leather and a few 

other goodies sits at $37,490 and 

was the model I suggested would 

be good for us. To throw another 

question mark into the equation, 

there is a hybrid XV which also 

sits at $42,490. 

The Premium spec XV is fully 

loaded with high grade trim materials 

and a long list of electronic 

safety spec. Many of the safety 

features are guided by the camera-based 

Eyesight technology 

that has been a Subaru trademark 

for many years now. 

The entry-level variant doesn’t 

get all the trick guidance systems, 

but Eyesight is still an integral 

part of the XV safety network on 

all models. 

Why I’m mentioning the difference 

in the line-up is because 

there are buyers like me who, in 

an endeavour to buy a new car, 

would need to scrape together 

every dollar to make the purchase 

and savings at any given 

point may just be the difference 

between affording the vehicle or 

not. 

That aside, the Premium is a 

premium car, it has heated seats, 

electric adjustment up front, keyless 

entry and ignition, satellite 

navigation, Apple Car Play and 

Android Auto connectivity, sunroof 

and steering wheel-mounted 

paddle shifters. 

For 2021 Subaru has upgraded 

the XV, it gets more technology 

in the form of a new door locking 

safety system, the inclusion of 

SI Drive that allows the driver 

to select varying drive models, 

there’s new bumpers, fog lights 

and grille, along with new alloy 

wheels. 

The Premium gets 18in wheels, 

the standard XV gets 17in. From 

memory they don’t look a lot different 

from those of the previous 

version, they are bold but fit the 

character of XV. 

There is also a greater choice

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Harcourts Four Seasons give 

back to the community 

If there’s a community event happening in Lincoln, it’s a safe 

bet that someone from the Harcourts Four Seasons team will 

be there. It’s just what they do. In fact, they pride themselves on 

being visible in the community so that we, the residents, know 

we have trusted professionals on our side when it comes time 

to buy or sell homes. They focus on giving back—sponsoring 

the golf and bowling clubs, assisting the community, supporting 

schools, participating in the annual Santa parade, raising money 

for Daffodil Day—it’s why they’re great at what they do. They 

create strong relationships, and that’s proof they’re willing to be 

part of it all. 

The Harcourts team sits proudly on Gerald St and it’s a location 

they’re proud of, with most residents probably driving past every 

day. They moved in about three years ago and haven’t looked 

back. It’s a place for customers to stop by to ask all those burning 

questions about property, plus it acts as a hub for their twelve 

agents—many who live locally and know the area like the back of 

their hand. 

Don’t wait, jump in now 

Harcourts are seeing plenty of sales activity right now, and 

it’s clear that Lincoln is growing fast. The team is excited to be 

a strong part of that future and, thanks to the council planning 

ahead of the curve, Selwyn is in a good, healthy position; the 

area is coping with the growth and there are plenty of exciting 

opportunities, especially in commercial development. The local 

residential market is strong with low interest rates driving activity 

and there are plenty of buyers out there snapping up almost 

everything that hits the market. Plus, it helps that Lincoln is one 

of the few spots left with available land for sale. James Twiss, 

business owner of Harcourts, says, “It’s a fantastic time to buy 

and sell. But if you’re selling, make sure you buy on the same 

market. Take the opportunity; but do it quickly, don’t wait.” 

Harcourts Four Seasons Realty has 

eight branches between Hanmer 

and Lincoln. You can find the Lincoln 

branch at 6 Gerald Street, Lincoln or 

phone 03 662 9933.
