Overloaded healthcare providers 

close doors to new patients 

• By Susan Sandys 

Deb Devon 

SELWYN’S exploding population 

and a nationwide shortage of 

GPs is causing a perfect storm for 

residents wanting to access primary 

healthcare. 

Rolleston’s two medical centres 

have both closed their books to new 

enrolments, forcing new patients to 

travel to Lincoln or further afield. 

Rolleston Central 

Health practice 

administrator Deb 

Devon said the centre 

made the difficult 

decision to temporarily 

close its books last 

month, after having 

the “incredibly high” 

number of 400 new patients enrolling 

in just three months. 

“Prior to this, one of our full-time 

doctors returned to their home 

country due to Covid, and we have 

been unable to replace her due to 

a nationwide GP shortage,” Devon 

said. 

The centre, with eight GPs, had 

the capacity to take many more new 

patients but needed to recruit more 

doctors. It was hoping to do this 

soon. 

The shortage of GPs in Rolleston 

had been affected by the shortage of 

GPs coming to New Zealand in the 

Covid-19 pandemic, she said.

OUR FRONT page story 

today highlights more 

growing pain in the district – 

getting enrolled at a doctor’s 

surgery close to where you 

live. 

The booming population 

combined with a GP 

shortage means people are 

having to enrol as far away as 

Halswell and Wigram to see 

a doctor. 

The major issue is 

currently in Rolleston. 

But that is likely to 

compound elsewhere as 

Lincoln, West Melton and 

Leeston grow. 

On page 5 today we outline 

the latest in the plans for 

new subdivisions across the 

district. 

With growth comes new 

businesses (see page 4 for a 

new bar/restaurant opening) 

and flowing from that is jobs. 

So hopefully there will be 

plenty of work for those who 

live in the district.

SELWYN’S ECONOMY has 

continued to grow in spite of the 

impacts of the global pandemic. 

The district remains one of 

the best-performing economies 

in the country, with the latest 

figures from economic analysts 

Infometrics showing 1.7 per cent 

growth last year, compared to 

a 2.6 per cent 

drop nationally. 

This growth 

was reflected 

in consumer 

spending, 

which grew solidly, 

up 2.1 per 

cent in the year 

to December 

2020. Nationally, 

spending 

fell by 3.2 per cent over the same 

time. 

Unemployment in Selwyn 

remained at almost half the 

national level, sitting at 2.6 

per cent at the end of the year 

compared to 4.6 per cent 

nationally. 

The Infometrics figures show 

Selwyn’s construction boom and 

the agriculture and food processing 

industry were big factors 

in the strength of the district’s 

economy. 

The number of houses sold in 

Selwyn last year was up by 31.2 

per cent, while the Infometrics 

figures show 34 per cent more 

residential building consent 

applications were filed with the 

district council. 

In 2020 the district council issued 

consents for 1530 individual 

houses and has continued receiving 

record numbers of building 

consent applications in the early 

months of 2021. 

Almost a quarter (23.2 per 

cent) of people employed in 

Selwyn work in agriculture and 

food processing, where returns 

have been steady and are likely to 

increase in the coming year with 

a higher dairy payout.

Crash driver 

greets 

firefighters 


A MAN INVOLVED in a car 

crash at Dunsandel followed the 

sound of the fire station siren 

and was there to greet volunteers 

when they arrived. 

Travelling south on Main South 

Rd towards Dunsandel township 

about 5.30am on Sunday, the 

man’s car veered across the road 

near the Dunsandel Tavern. 

The vehicle then hit the ditch 

on the same side of the road as 

the tavern, and overturned at 

least once to land about 10m 

away, on its roof, on the footpath. 

A passer-by phoned emergency 

services, setting off the 

Dunsandel Fire Station’s alarm. 

The driver was able to climb out 

of the crushed vehicle. He made 

his way to the fire station about 

800m away, following the sound 

of the station’s siren. 

Chief Ken Lee said the driver 

had been lucky to survive. And 

in spite of minor injuries, he was 

found to be in good spirits by 

firefighters arriving at the fire 

station. 

A St John spokesperson said the 

patient was taken to Christchurch 

Hospital by ambulance with 

minor injuries.

Rolleston health hub soon to open 

• From page 1 

Rolleston Medical Centre 

practice manager Vicki Bool said 

the centre, with 10 GPs, closed its 

books to new patients about 18 

months ago. 

“You have only got so much 

space and so many doctors,” Bool 

said. 

The centre was referring any 

new patients to Lincoln. 

WeCare Health, at Lincoln and 

Wigram, confirmed it was still 

accepting new patients, and welcomed 

residents from Rolleston. 

Lincoln Medical Centre confirmed 

it also welcomed patients 

from Rolleston. Darfield Medical 

Centre, which also operates West 

Melton Medical Centre, says on 

its website that all new enrolments 

are currently waitlisted 

until further notice. 

Rolleston residents are finding 

it difficult to access primary 

healthcare locally as doctors close 

their books. 

One woman, who moved to 

Burnham from Auckland three 

weeks ago, was referred to We- 

Care Health at Lincoln, but found 

there was no discount for using 

a Community Services card for 

regular appointments. WeCare 

confirmed it only offered Community 

Services card discounts 

for ACC consults. 

The woman, who was currently 

job-seeking and did not want to 

be named, said she had mental 

health issues and being able to

secure a good doctor was important 

to her. 

“It’s a bit scary really, the 

thought of not having somebody 

local,” she said. 

A friend suggested Halswell, 

so she would be now be taking 

50km round trips to see her 

doctor there. She was looking 

forward to the opening of the 

Selwyn Health Hub at Rolleston, 

which will have a general practice 

as part of its facilities. 

“As soon as that place opens I 

will be in there like a shot, I don’t 

want to travel 25 kilometres,” she 

said. 

The district council is expecting 

to have the health hub ready 

for tenants to begin their fit-outs 

in May. However, it is unknown 

when the general practice will 

open and how many doctors it 

will have. 

Group manager property 

Douglas Marshall said the timing 


of when tenants opened would 

depend on when they had completed 

their fit-outs and any other 

requirements. 

“The council has had interest 

from a number of parties in becoming 

the hub’s general practice 

and those discussions are ongoing,” 

Marshall said. 

The number of GPs was “all 

part of the discussion with the 

potential tenants.” 

“We are waiting to finalise 

details so at this time cannot 

confirm numbers,” Marshall said. 

Two medical centres are on the 

drawing board for Prebbleton, 

set to be part of new building 

projects. The centres are expected 

to see about five GPs based in 

the town, which currently has no 

doctors there. 

Canterbury District Health 

Board acting executive director 

planning, funding and decision 

support Ralph La Salle said the 

board was aware there were 

primary care access issues in 

Canterbury, including sourcing 

locum cover. 

“Our primary care partners are 

working with general practice 

teams in Canterbury to find solutions,” 

he said. 

Over the past 10 years Selwyn 

has been the second-fastest 

growing district in New Zealand, 

growing from 42,900 in 2011 to 

an estimated 71,500 this year. By 

2031 the district population is 

forecast to reach nearly 90,000. 

New bar will add to 

choice in Lincoln 

THE HOSPITALITY scene in 

Lincoln is about to get busier. 

A new bar and restaurant is 

set to open on April 14 – aptly 

named Lincoln HQ. 

It will be on the site of the 

Oktoberfest bar in Rosemerryn 

which closed just before Christmas. 

Lincoln HQ is owned by 

Craig Bradford and Chrystal 

Boyne. Bradford is a well-known 

Canterbury hotelier who owns 

the Crate and Barrel in Leeston, 

while the venture is Boyne’s first 

step into hospitality ownership. 

She has worked in the industry 

for a number of years.

Legislation will help zoning plan requests 


ZONING PLAN requests to 

extend town boundaries and 

allow for thousands of new 

homes in the district are being 

aided by nationwide legislation. 

The National Policy Statement 

on Urban Development came 

into effect in August. Developers 

are already taking advantage of 

its objectives around increasing 

housing supply, applying to the 

district council for numerous 

plan changes. 

At a council 

meeting last 

week, councillors 

accepted a request 

for a plan change 

encompassing 

Tim Harris 

up to 2000 new 

homes at Lincoln, 

from Rolleston 

Industrial Developments Ltd, to 

be publicly notified. 

The site is about 190ha on 

the south side of Lincoln, near 

the progressively developing Te 

Whariki and Verdeco residential 

subdivisions. It would increase 

Lincoln’s current residential area 

by about 70 per cent. 

Council group manager 

environmental services Tim 

Harris told councillors the site 

was not identified within the 

Canterbury Regional Policy 

Statement as a priority greenfield 

area, nor within a proposed 

change to the CRPS as a future 

development area. 

“The site also sits outside of 

the existing Lincoln township 

boundary and, by extension, 

outside of the infrastructure 

boundary of the township,” Harris 

said. 

However, the NPS-UD had 

provided a policy framework to 

allow developments representing 

“significant capacity” to be 

accepted. 

A number of plan change 

applications coming before the 

council were taking advantage of 

this new pathway, he said. 

“It allows for applications 

that formerly would have been 

knocked out, because they weren’t 

consistent with high-order 

planning documents, to be able 

to be assessed and to go through 

the normal RMA process,” Harris 

said. 

Councillors expressed a 

range of concerns about the 

proposed development, 

including that the site had wet 

soils and was a source of river 

groundwater, and that it could 

compromise the Little River Rail 

Trail route. 

Such issues are likely to be 

raised as part of the public 

consultation process. Private 

plan change applications have 

to go through a thorough and 

sometimes lengthy legal process

and can take anything from 

months to years. 

Councillors approved a second 

plan change for notification 

at last week’s meeting, which 

was from Yoursection Ltd, for 

about 25ha on the south eastern 

side of Rolleston, which would 

encompass up to 280 new 

households. 

This plan change is also outside 

of the greenfield development 

areas in the CRPS, however, 

the NPS-UD provides for 

consideration of the project. 

In total, the council is 

handling seven residential 

private plan applications for 

Rolleston, accounting for up 

to 4759 residential lots, as

well as four applications for 

West Melton, accounting for 

up to 858 residential lots, two 

for Prebbleton for up to 1330 

residential lots, and two for 

Darfield with 138 residential lots 

initially and the possibility of a 

further 339 in future. 

Leeston is set to expand by 

hundreds of households after 

district councillors approved 

a plan change request at the 

meeting. 

The request from D Marshall, L 

Martin and A Formosa, M and T 

Saunders, B Hammett and J and 

S Howson was publicly notified 

last year and 18 submissions and 

four further submissions were 

received. 

The council accepted 

independent planning 

commissioner Dean Chrystal’s 

recommendation to accept the 

plan change in part, which would 

allow for up to 250 residential lots 

of about 650 sq m each. 

There are currently about

Oak tree-size problem for Biggie 


BIGGIE THE jack russell is a 

little dog with a big appetite. 

THis month he has survived 

eating a stone and then an acorn, 

with the help of expensive trips 

to the vet. 

His owner Belinda Jeursen 

of Prebbleton is warning other 

owners about the dangers of 

acorns, ubiquitous in parks and 

reserves this time of year as they 

fall from oak trees. 

Jeursen recently noticed her 

10-month-old pup all of a sudden 

becoming sick – vomiting, 

shaking and drinking lots of 

water. 

This was following surgery 

costing $2600 earlier in the 

month after he had swallowed a 

stone. He had completely recovered 

from this, so the new illness 

was a mystery. 

She took him back to the 

vet, who put him on a drip and 

X-rayed him. The X-ray did not 

show any obstructions, however, 

when the vet undertook a rectal 

examination, she felt the acorn 

inside, Jeursen said. 

Laxatives were deemed to be 

the best course of treatment. 

Soon Biggie was relieved of the 

acorn. 

“We didn’t even know he had 

eaten it, it was only when it came 

out the other end we knew what 

WRITTEN BY MART CROWLEY. DIRECTED BY DOUG CLARKE 

it was,” Jeursen said. 

Jeursen said she would be 

putting a muzzle on Biggie when 

she took him for walks from now 

on. She did not want him to eat 

any more acorns, nor any other 

strange objects. 

The cost of the recent trip to 

the vet and associated medications 

had cost about $570. She 

had since signed up for pet 

insurance. 

Dr Tracey Rozen at Prebbleton 

Veterinary Hospital confirmed 

the dangers of acorns. She said 


JOIN THE 

CHEVALIERS 

2021 pre season training now 

some dogs found acorns interesting 

and may be tempted to eat 

them. 

“Acorns can be dangerous 

to our dogs, predominantly in 

two ways,” Rozen said.

Dog owners 

reminded to 

pick up poo 


SELWYN’S canine population is 

increasing, alongside the amount 

of dog poo in domains and 

reserves. 

The district council has emailed 

dog owners, reminding them of 

their responsibilities. 

There are about 70 dogs being 

added each month to the district 

council’s database. The numbers 

of registered dogs recently topped 

15,000. 

Larger numbers of dogs, particularly 

in townships, can bring 

challenges, the council said in the 

email. 

“One area of concern that 

has been brought to our attention 

lately is the number of dog 

faeces being found at some of the 

domains. So this is a perfect time 

to remind everyone that when 

you are out exercising your dogs 

please pick up after them and 

please don’t leave the plastic bags 

lying around. If the rubbish bins 

are full it’s your responsibility to 

take it home,” the council said. 

“In 2012 we worked extremely 

hard to open up most of the 

domains and reserves in Selwyn 

to off-leash exercise areas. This 

came with a rider that problem 

areas may have that privilege 

revoked.”

How to drive safe these school holidays 

With the school holidays fast approaching and our international 

borders still firmly closed, Kiwi’s are left with few options for a 

solid holiday than heading off on a road trip. But before you pop 

on your sunglasses and hit the highway, Rolleston Diesels and 

Petrols say there are a few things you should do and check to 

make sure you and the family are as safe as possible. 

Check your tyres 

If your tyres are old and worn out, there’s more chance you’ll 

get a puncture. If that happens at high speed, you could lose 

control and be involved in a serious accident. Bald tyres and 

types of damage like cuts, cracks, bulges can be avoided with 

regular checks, and replacements where necessary. Tyres are 

also checked during a WoF inspection so don’t forget to check 

them! Rolleston Diesel and Petrols are experts in mechanics and 

can help you get your car in tip-top shape so that everyone gets 

there and back again. 

Make sure your lights work 

Did you know your headlights are just as important during the 

day as they are at night? So, making sure they work properly 

should be a priority and it’s easy to check them yourself (they 

should both be bright). But if you notice any dimming, or that 

either one is just not working, get yourself to your mechanic— 

pronto. Rolleston Diesels and Petrols will also check your 

brake lights and all connections so you’ll be all set for the big 

adventure. 

Make light work of towing 

Towing caravans or trailers is a great way to holiday. Simply 

park up, unhitch and relax. But getting there safely is key. Your 

vehicle needs to be appropriate for towing (right size, weight and 

mechanically sound). And towbars should be compliant for heavy 

loads and installed by a professional. Talk to Rolleston Diesels 

and Petrols before you buckle up if you have any questions. 

Book a service 

How long has it been since you had your car serviced? If you 

have to stop and think for even a few seconds, it’s probably been 

too long. A service can include all your preventative maintenance 

pieces: changing oil, checking lights, tyres, exhaust, steering and 

many others that, if left unchecked, can be costly. Even dirty air 

filters (not hard with plenty of dusty, shingle roads around Selwyn) 

can be harmful. But it’s super easy to call your mechanics at 

Rolleston Diesel and Petrols who will take care if it all for you.

Resource consent 


A NEW retirement village 

in Prebbleton will enable 

more elderly to stay in their 

community, says Age Concern. 

Summerset has been 

granted resource consent 

to build a $170 million 

retirement village 

in Prebbleton. It will 

be built on a 9ha site 

on Springs Rd, previously 

owned by Meadow 

Mushrooms. 

It will offer more than 

290 independent homes, adding 

to more than 100 villas and 

serviced apartments at Bupa 

Ashford Retirement Village at 

Prebbleton, where stage one is 

complete. 

Age Concern Canterbury 

chief executive Simon Templeton 

said he welcomed Summerset 

getting the green light for its 

project. 

“It is great to see the investment 

in a rural area, this will 

enable people to 

choose to move and 

retire there, and more 

importantly will enable 

people to stay in their 

community, if and 

when they decide to 

make that move into 

a retirement village,” 

Templeton said. 

The Summerset village will 

include a mix of two-and-threebedroom 

villas and cottages, 

including serviced apartments 

and care rooms. 

Demolition of the disused 

factory building on site was to 

NEWS 9 

granted for new retirement village 

Simon 

Templeton 

begin late this month, while 

earthworks will begin in April. 

Construction will start in January 

next year. 

Summerset general manager 

development Aaron Smail said 

it would be the fourth 

Summerset retirement 

village in Canterbury, and 

he expected there would 

be strong demand. 

The complex would 

have a village centre with 

recreational amenities 

including an indoor swimming 

pool, café, lounges, 

library, exercise room, hobbies 

room and residents’ bar. There 

would be communal vegetable 

gardens, a residents’ workshop, 

barbecue facilities, an all-weather 

bowling green and a state-ofthe-art 

memory care centre for 

10 APRIL • LINCOLN 

residents with dementia. 

“The 20-apartment memory 

care centre includes facilities 

specifically designed for people 

living with dementia, including 

large communal areas and an 

outdoor courtyard for 

freedom of movement 

and independence,” 

Smail said. 

“These centres 

provide residents 

with the dignity and 

respect of having their 

own home within a 

secure centre, which is 

purpose-built for their needs.” 

Summerset is one of 

the leading operators and 

developers of retirement villages 

in New Zealand, with 33 villages 

completed or in development 

across the country. 

Aaron Smail

In Brief 

CAR FIRE SPREADS 

A stolen car was set alight on 

Gilmours Rd, setting fire to 

surrounding grass on Monday. 

Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade 

members were called to the blaze 

about 5.50am. Chief Jeremy 

Greenwood said a motorist 

had noticed the fire from some 

distance away and phoned 111. “It 

could have been a lot worse, given 

the dry conditions. I think if there 

was any wind it could have spread 

quite dramatically,” Greenwood 

said. Meanwhile, the brigade 

assisted St John at a crash where 

a motor-cyclist received minor 

injuries, at 3.30pm, Saturday, on 

Gebbies Pass Rd. 

EMERGENCY PREPARATION 

The Selwyn Emergency 

Management Team is running a 

series of free presentations about 

being prepared for all kinds of 

emergencies. The first session 

is at Leeston Primary School 

today, 7–8.30pm. Following 

presentations will be held on 

May 19, 7–8.30pm at Darfield 

Recreation Centre and later in 

the year at other venues in the 

district. For further information

KIRWEE’S ALASTAIR Frizzell 

said it was “absolutely brilliant” 

to have been awarded the 2021 

Agri-Innovation Award at the 

South Island Agricultural Field 

Days last week. 

A panel of three industryexpert 

judges were impressed 

by the new technology offered 

in Frizzell Ltd’s Smart Paddock 

Weigher, and were unanimous in 

their decision. 

“There’s been a huge amount of 

work go into this development,” 

Frizzell said. 

“It’s really exciting, for the 

whole team, to get the project to 

the point where it’s ready to commercialise.” 

Frizzell employs 10 people 

at the Kirwee-based company, 

which specialises in agricultural 

electronics. The company was in 

the process of putting the Smart 

Paddock Weigher on the market. 

The solar-powered machine 

allows farmers to weigh young 

livestock in the paddock, saving 

farmer time and resources and 

supporting animal health and 

well-being. 

STOCK EZY’s flow control gate 

picked up the runner-up award. 

The field days were a huge 

success, with fantastic weather 

and crowd numbers exceeding 

organisers’ expectations. 

Chairwoman Michaela McLeod 

estimated up to 34,000 people 

had attended. The highlight was 

everyone’s enthusiasm for being 

at an event of that magnitude in 

the post-Covid environment.

DOMESTIC student numbers 

are at a 10-year high at Lincoln 

University. 

Numbers for semester 1 are 35 

per cent higher than at the same 

time last year, with a total of 894 

domestic equivalent full-time 

students enrolled, an increase of 

231 on semester 1, 2020. At the 

same time, new-to-programme 

domestic enrolments are up 58 

per cent on last year. 

These figures represent the 

highest number of domestic 

EFTS enrolled for the university 

semester 1 programmes since 

before 2010. 

Acting Vice-Chancellor 

Professor Bruce McKenzie said 

domestic student numbers were 

significantly ahead of target, and 

demonstrated the university’s 

ability to respond to changing 

demands in the Covid-19-affected 

environment. 

“New Zealand’s primary industries 

are confronting a number 

of distinct challenges in the 

Covid-impacted marketplace,” 

McKenzie said. 

“Lincoln has moved swiftly over 

the last 12 months to tailor course 

offerings to meet the demands 

of the country’s thriving food 

and fibre sectors, and ultimately 

produce graduates who will help 

drive the economy forward.” 

Property management. 

Six sub-degree programmes in 

the ields of food and fibre became 

fees-free when the Government’s 

targeted training and apprenticeship 

fund took effect in semester 2 

last year. The university extended 

this initiative to offer its own fee 

waivers on targeted courses until 

December 2022. 

Lincoln has also recorded its 

highest total of Māori students 

since before 2010, with 161 students, 

an increase of 17 per cent 

since semester 1 last year. 

McKenzie said this increase 

was particularly significant for 

the university, which had a key 

focus on boosting the achievements 

of Māori and Pasifka. 

“The university is committed 

to contributing to the Māori

TREND: Lincoln University students Imogen Morrison, Bella

support maximum performance 

and growth of Māori assets. The 

increasing participation and 

retention rate of Māori learners is 

a particularly pleasing outcome 

of our successful 2021 enrolment 

campaign,” he said. 

Females outnumbered males 

this year, accounting for 53 per 

cent of the university’s student 

population, further cementing a 

trend that began in 2018. 

As expected, the university 

has experienced a drop in 

international student enrolments 

due to border restrictions. Its 

2020 total of 359 semester 1 

EFTS compares to 195 EFTS in 

2021.

Students take win 

against police teams 


IT WAS an epic battle of youth 

against experience at the 

inaugural Rolleston College 

versus Selwyn Police Sports Day. 

Police were on the back foot to 

start with, outnumbered at just 

37, compared to 60 students. 

Co-organiser Constable Glenn 

Dawson said all games were 

played in great spirit. 

There was plenty of banter at 

the basketball. The result saw 

students come out on top by just 

one point, achieved in the final 

second. 

Students also won the netball 

and cricket, while police won 

the football and touch rugby. 

The latter game was the undoing 

of the area response manager 

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker, 

who was injured in the first 

minute, tearing a hamstring. 

Police were quite happy to be 

the underdogs, it has just made 

them all the more determined 

for next year, Dawson said.

Competition 

winner not 

from farming 

background 

ROSHEAN WOODS does not 

come from a farming background 

but that didn’t stop her winning 

the Tasman region Young Farmers 

Club competition at the Malvern 

A&P Association’s ground on 

Saturday. 

Originally from Timaru, Woods 

said farming had not been her career 

goal until a visit from Lincoln 

University and DairyNZ to her 

high school. 

“I’ve always loved science and 

saw myself working in a lab of 

some sort,” the Christchurch City 

Young Farmers Club member said. 

But farming had the obvious advantage 

of being able to combine 

science with her passion for the 

outdoors, and today she is a farm 

systems scientist at DairyNZ. 

“I couldn’t imagine working in 

any other industry now.” 

The eight regional finalists competed 

in eight modules and battled 

it out head-to-head in two time 

and point races at the Malvern 

Show, while also undertaking 

a written exam and the famous 

buzzer quiz. 

Runner-up on Saturday was 

Jonny Brown of the Dunsandel 

Young Farmers Club, while third 

was Peter O’Connor of the Lincoln 

Young Farmers Club. 


LEMONWOOD GROVE 

School pupil Angus Winter has 

combined his love of nature and 

photography, and been rewarded 

for his efforts. 

The nine-year-old has been 

named as the winner of the 10 

years and under category in the 

Canterbury Museum’s Amazing 

Animals! photography competition. 

Angus photographed a tūī, 

poised momentarily amongst 

flower heads on a flax bush. 

He captured the image on a 

family trip to Ōkārito on the 

West Coast. 

His father Drew Winter said 

Angus had always admired 

wildlife, for as long as he could 

remember, and had begun photographing 

animals about two 

years ago. 

“He’s got pictures of wildlife on 

his walls in is bedroom, he just 

loves it,” Winter said. 

It had taken about 20 minutes 

to get the winning shot of the 

tūī at Ōkārito, It was on a board 

walk with flax on both sides, and 

Angus had sat underneath the 

bushes and taken lots of photos. 

As well as picking up first 

prize, Angus received a highly 

commended award for a photo 

he took of a kererū. This was also 

taken at Ōkārito, in the garden of 

a house. 


Tui earns Angus photography prize 

Frankie Hindson, 8, of Tai Tapu 

School, was the runner up with 

her photo of Buddy the broody 

hen. In the 11 to 15 years category, 

13 -year-old Zion Cooper won 

with his image of a tūī, and Eleanor 

Begley, 13, was the runner-up 

with a close-up of a fly. 

Winners received a $100 

Prezzy card, and runners-up 

received a $50 Prezzy card. All 

entries are displayed in the museum 

foyer. 

Canterbury Museum Associate 

Curator Natural History 

Johnathon Ridden was one of the 

competition’s judges. 

He said the judging panel was 

staggered by the quality of the 

entries. 

“All the entries were just fantastic, 

which made choosing the 

winners very difficult. We’d like 

to thank everyone who entered. 

Canterbury is clearly home to 

some very talented young photographers,” 

Ridden said. 

The competition, previously 

held in 2018, was designed to 

complement Wildlife Photographer 

of the Year, an exhibition at 

the museum which ran from November. 

It featured some of the 

world’s best wildlife photographs 

direct from the Natural History 

Museum, London. 

WINNING SHOT: 

Angus Winter 

is passionate 

about nature and 

photography, and

winning shot after 

silently waiting

bushes.

Long-Term Plan – have your say 

on Selwyn's big decisions 

Selwyn residents can now have their say on proposals in the Council’s 10-year plan. 

Consultation on the Long-Term Plan will be open until 5pm Friday 30 April. 

The consultation document – This Way… 2031, submission forms and further information are available 

online at selwyn.govt.nz/thisway2031 and through Council offices and service centres. Information will 

also be provided through mail box drops. 

Mayor Sam Broughton is encouraging residents, ratepayers and stakeholders to make sure they have 

their say. 

“We have a number of big decisions ahead of us over the next decade,” he says. “It’s really important 

that we hear from the community about whether we’ve got the priorities right, and what things we 

might do differently. 

“With the district continuing to grow, we need to make sure we’re planning for the future but also 

looking after our existing assets and infrastructure, and completing the projects we’ve already started. 

“I hope everyone takes some time to read about our proposals, come to a drop-in session or talk to 

their local councillor – and give us feedback about what’s important to them over the next decade.” 

Details of community events and drop-in sessions will be available on the Council’s social media 

channels and at selwyn.govt.nz/thisway2031. 

Council General Manager Communication and Customers Stephen Hill says there is a variety of ways 

people can make a submission or give feedback, including through the online submission form, or by 

completing a quick poll on key topics. 

Printed copies of the consultation document and submission forms are also available, at the Council 

offices at Rolleston and all Selwyn libraries. 

The consultation document sets out eight key proposals which are open for consultation: 

· Continuing the current approach to maintaining safe water supplies, which meet 

community expectations, and comply with expected new regulations. 

· Changing how residents pay for the supply of drinking water, to meet increasing costs and 

to help manage high water demand. 

· Building a new piped wastewater system for Darfield and Kirwee. 

· Increasing funding for road maintenance. 

· An extensive programme of road upgrades and new transport projects. 

· Building a new community centre for Prebbleton. 

· Building a new combined library/service centre and community centre on Leeston Park. 

· Developing a new Hororata Community Centre on the domain. 

The average proposed rates increase for the 2021/22 year (starting 1 July 2021) is 4.9%, 

which is a total of $138, or $2.65 per week. Based on the proposals in the consultation 

document, average annual rate rises over the 10-year period are forecast to be 4% to 5% 

each year. For individual ratepayers the actual change may be smaller or greater, depending 

on their location and the services provided. 

Council easter opening hours 

Some Council services and facilities will be affected by the Easter public holidays. For a full list of 

opening hours over the weekend see selwyn.govt.nz 

Economy stays strong 

despite pandemic 

Selwyn's economy has continued to grow despite the impacts of 

the global pandemic. 

The district remains one of the best-performing economies in the 

country, with the latest figures from economic analysts Infometrics 

showing Selwyn's economy grew by 1.7% last year, compared to a 

2.6% drop nationallly. 

This growth was reflected in consumer spending, which grew by 

2.1% in the year to December 2020. Nationally, spending fell by 

3.2% over the same time. 

Unemployment in Selwyn remained at almost half the national level, 

sitting at 2.6% at the end of the year compared to 4.6% nationally. 

The figures show construction and the agriculture and food processing 

industry were big factors in the strength of the Selwyn economy. 

The number of houses sold last year was up by 31.2%, and 34% 

more residential consent applications were filed with the Council. 

In 2020 the Council issued consents for 1530 individual houses 

and has continued receiving record numbers of building consent 

applications in 2021. 

Almost a quarter (23.2%) of people employed in Selwyn work in 

agriculture and food processing, where returns have been steady and 

are likely to increase in the coming year with a higher dairy pay out. 

The Infometrics figures underscore the region's decade of strong 

growth – with Selwyn seeing the second largest economic growth of 

any district in the country over the past 10 years. 

Mayor Sam Broughton says it has been good to see the way the 

economy and community have remained strong during the pandemic. 

“It was really heartening to see the way people in Selwyn pulled 

together to support each other in a tough year last year. We know 

we’re not through the full effects of that as a nation, and that there 

are sectors here in Selwyn that are still feeling the pinch. But it’s 

good to see much of our economy has remained strong, businesses 

are positive about the future and that we continue to support each 

other as a community.” 

Share your views on our local 

electoral arrangements 

As part of our representation review on the local electoral system 

in Selwyn we’re wanting to hear from you about “communities of 

interest” and your views about the local electoral system. This is 

about identifying the distinctive interests of a community, and how 

ward boundaries and electoral arrangements reflect those interests 

and respond to the community’s needs. 

To find out more, and to complete the survey head to 

selwyn.govt.nz/elections. 

Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize 

draw for a $100 shopping voucher.

Ben Hope’s 

judgement 

pays off 

• By Joshua Smith 

CANTERBURY driver Ben Hope 

convinced his parents, Greg and 

Nina Hope, to take Homebush 

Lad to Oamaru on Sunday and 

his judgement paid off. 

The seven-year-old gelding was 

the only representative from the 

stable to attend the meeting and 

he gave them the perfect result 

when he won the Whitestone 

Livestock Ltd Waimate Cup. 

“We were rapt with him,” Nina 

Hope said. 

“There were a few tired ones 

around him. He has been running 

in all of those cup races so his fitness 

is right up there.” 

Hope was pleased with Homebush 

Lad heading into the race 

and said she was delighted he was 

finally able to get a cup win for his 

connections. 

“He has been pretty unlucky in 

his last few starts to be running 

into some nice horses, so it was 

really nice to see him get that 

win,” she said. 

Hope said she is unsure of what 

the future holds for Homebush 

Lad and may leave that planning 

up to her son. 

“It gets pretty tough now with 

the points system,” she said.

Team teal’s $44k for cancer research 

FEMALE HARNESS racing 

drivers have raised $44,000 for 

ovarian cancer – all by winning 

in teal colours. 

For six weeks the country’s 

female drivers, known as team 

teal, were involved in the campaign 

which raises awareness 

of ovarian cancer and funds for 

research. 

When it finished at a recent 

meeting at Reefton there had 

been 65 wins, with Harness 

Racing New Zealand and Woodlands 

Stud committing $100 for 

each win, with various clubs and 

individuals also making huge 

contributions. 

West Melton-based Samantha 

Ottley was the most successful 

team teal driver with 16 wins 

from February 1 to March 14. 

Collectors were at many race 

meetings too with race-goers 

and licence-holders very generous 

in their support of the 

project. 

Teal Pants is a transtasman 

initiative set up by Australian 

Duncan McPherson after his 

wife died from ovarian cancer. 

This year was the fourth Teal 

Pants campaign in New Zealand 

s country and all money raised 

here is spent here as well. 

This year’s total of $44,000 

is down slightly on last year 

($50,000) but is still being hailed 

as a success considering the 


restraints brought about by the 

Covid-19 pandemic. The campaign 

has succeeded in bringing 

the issue of ovarian cancer into 

the open and this year awareness 

was very much the focus of the 

campaign. 

WomenCan, which partners 

with HRNZ during the Teal 

Pants campaign, said the New 

Zealand funds have contributed 

to the first phase of a new innovative 

screening programme 

called NOVEL. 

“NOVEL will enable tumour 

profiling for New Zealand 

WINNER: Team 

teal’s Samantha 

Ottley who had

fundraiser for

women with high grade serous 

ovarian cancer, which will allow 

them rapid access to participate 

in specific international clinical 

trials,” gynaecological oncologist 

Associate Professor Bryony 

Simcock said. 

This year 300 women will be 

diagnosed with ovarian cancer 

where the chance of surviving 

beyond the five year cancer 

benchmark is 39 per cent. NOV- 

EL has the potential to benefit 

up to 90 per cent of women with 

ovarian cancer in the future. 

Said WomenCan head of fundraising 

and development Karen 

Livingstone: “Nearly every improvement 

in cancer treatment 

has resulted from a clinical trial. 

Women needs access to the latest 

innovative research in the hope 

it will improve their outcomes. 

When a woman is diagnosed 

with ovarian cancer she feels 

overwhelmed and alone. 

“The support shown by the 

Harness Racing New Zealand 

community to fund more 

research and resources for these 

women is so appreciated and 

valued.”

WHEN STEPHEN Swain 

approached part-time Leeston 

trainer Murray Alfeld and asked 

him to train a horse for him 

Alfeld had an obvious question. 

“Why me?” Alfeld asked. 

Swain’s cartage company does 

the baleage work for Alfeld, who 

has mixed training and farrier 

work for many years but these 

days only trains three horses. 

So to have Swain ask him to 

buy him a horse at the sales and 

train it was a shock for the now 

62-year-old. 

“Stephen just asked me to buy 

him and the family a horse at the 

yearling sales one day and train 

it,” Alfeld said. 

“I told him I would help and 

find a horse and break it in and 

then he could send it to any 

trainer he wanted but he said no, 

we have done a lot of work with 

you and we want you to train it. 

“He is a good guy like that, 

hard-working, loves his rugby 

and wanted to do the right thing.” 

So Alfeld went to the sales and 

found a filly Swain paid $22,000 

for and at Addington on Friday 

that filly, Aldebaran Floss won 

the $50,000 What The Hill NZ 

Trotting Oaks. 

In doing so she beat some of 

the country’s biggest trotting stables, 

helped in no small way by 

a typical Colin De Filippi drive 

and the ace draw. 

“That all helped and Colin has 

always been a big help to me so 

it is a massive thrill to win an 

Oaks,’’ Alfeld said. 

“It is the biggest win I have 

had. I have had good horses 

in the past like Clover Don, 

who won on Cup Day and had 

some good wins for Colin and 

even Robbie Holmes when 


‘Biggest win’ for Alfeld 

THRILL: Aldebaran Floss crosses the finishing post to win 

the $50,000 What The Hill NZ Trotting Oaks on Friday to 

the delight of driver Colin De Filippi and trainer Murray 

Alfeld. 

PHOTOS: HARNESS RACING NEWS 

they trained him because I was 

moving and setting up a new 

property. 

“But to win a race like this for 

Stephen after he was so loyal was 

a real thrill.” 

Aldebaran Floss is now 

qualified for the Jewels so Alfeld 

and Swain have a chip in the big 

game and a filly with speed and 

some breeding value.

SEFTON WON its first country 

cricket title in three years after 

its senior players stood up in 

key moments in a hard-fought 

final against Darfield on 

Saturday. 

Rangiora’s showpiece Mainpower 

Oval cricket ground 

hosted the final of the CRV 

Ambreed Country Premier One 

Day 2020/21 competition at the 

weekend. 

A young and talented Darfield 

XI batted first on the first-class 

ground but were in early trouble 

at 33/2 after Canterbury Country 

paceman Jed Roberts removed 

brothers and openers Zak and 

Liam Foulkes cheaply. 

Ryan Hughes batted 

superbly to anchor the innings 

before he was stumped by Tim 

Harrison off the wily bowling of 

Nigel Granger for 64 runs off 80 

balls. 

It was then another experienced 

and canny Sefton campaigner, 

Jeff Jones who swung 

the match firmly in the Seals’ 

favour. 

Jones ripped through the middle 

order, snaring four key wickets 

and helping restrict Darfield 

to be all out in the 45 th and final 

over for just 177. 


SPORT 21 

Darfield beaten in 

final against Sefton 

Chasing the mediocre total, 

Sefton’s run chase got off to the 

worse start, losing Micah Campbell 

in the first over. 

Chris Warner (32 off 48) 

and Matt Laffey (56 off 106) 

knuckled down to repair the innings, 

putting on 70 runs for the 

second wicket. 

A composed unbeaten 

half-century by Lance Taylor 

steered the Seals to the six 

wicket victory with 21 balls to 

spare. 

Jones was named man of the 

match with his inspirational 

spell with the ball, and Sefton 

were thankful for the experience 

and big-game knowledge of him, 

Laffey, Taylor, Harrison and 

Granger to guide them to the 

title. 

Weedons beat Oxford- 

Rangiora in the Premier plate 

final, while Greendale edged 

out Allenton in the senior 

competition.

The mere thought of fleas has most of us 

instinctively scratching our heads. Many 

pet owners, who are ‘on-to-it’ in summer 

and winter, decrease the use of flea 

treatments in autumn and winter under 

the misconception that they are less of a 

problem in the cooler months. 

In a natural setting a dog or cat would 

be less likely to contract a flea infestation 

in winter as the cold weather causes the 

fleas to lay dormant. However, most of 

us keep our beloved pets and dogs inside 

during the cold months, curled up and 

cosy in front of the fire. They are, after all, 

part of our family. 

Fleas love a warm and cosy house as 

much as we do! Optimal conditions for 

fleas are between 21 and 30°C, and 70% 

humidity. Our use of central heating 

provides a warm environment which 

allows the fleas to breed all-year-round 

and thrive regardless of seasons. 

Do not wait until you see your fourlegged 

friend start to 

scratch behind their 

ears. By providing 

on-going treatment 

all year round you can 

eliminate the insidious 

cycle of fleas breeding in your pets and 

household. 

Flea products are effective when used 

properly but they are relatively expensive, 

which can be a real consideration for 

some pet owners. It is important we 

weigh in the balance how much more 

expensive a flea infestation is compared 

to ongoing treatment and how much 

more difficult and time consuming it is to 

correct. 

You may decide to take the gamble but 

as well as the inconvenience and 

gigantic pile of washing there 

are serious considerations 

for the health and 

well-being of your pet. 

Fleas are one of the 

most common causes 

of distressing skin 

problems in dogs and 

cats and in severe 

cases kittens can die 

from anaemia due to 

blood loss from the 

feeding fleas. 

It is easier than ever to manage fleas 

all year round. There are many different 

preventatives on the market and they all 

have pros and cons. No single product is 

right for every animal. Talk to your local 

veterinarian and discuss what they 

feel is effective 

and best 

treatment for 

your pet.

happy, safe and well cared for

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Flexible business 

courses at Ara 

Work, family and other commitments can 

sometimes feel like a barrier to study, but 

they needn’t be. Ara Institute of Canterbury’s 

business degrees and graduate diplomas come 

with a level of flexibility that make it possible 

to work, study and have a life. 

Part-time options and a choice of daytime or 

evening classes mean you can create a schedule 

that works for you. If you have pre-schoolers, 

Ara’s City campus offers two on-campus 

childcare options where your tamariki can be 

cared for while you attend daytime classes. 

Ara also offers comprehensive student 

support services, and its tutors are known for 

going above and beyond to ensure students 

achieve their study goals. Olivia Smith says she 

felt supported throughout her time at Ara. “The 

tutors were amazing – 100% supportive and 

they helped us every step of the way.” Fellow 

business student Rachel Fraser describes her 

tutors as “lovely” and says they cared about 

students’ wellbeing and education. 

As well as creating a flexible, 

supportive study environment, 

Ara offers extensive subject choice. 

Its business degrees and graduate 

diplomas come in a wide range of 

specialties including accounting, 

entrepreneurship, 

project 

management, operations and 

production management, human 

resources, strategic management, 

event management, marketing and 

sales and hospitality management. 

Originally from Italy, Anita 

Dazzi enrolled to study a Graduate 

Diploma in Business at Ara, specialising in 

human resources. 

“I chose Ara because it had really good 

graduate options and it’s very practical. I’d 

already studied for five years so I only wanted 

to study for one more year. I knew after a year 

I’d have a qualification and skills that I could 

start putting into practise.” 

At university, Anita recalls being among 

300-or-so other students in lectures. “The 

lecturers wouldn’t know if I was there or not, 

let alone know my name. At Ara, the tutors 

have a real ability to share their passion 

and engage students. They’re approachable, 

personable and always there to support you. 

If I had questions or I wasn’t able to attend a 

class because I was working, they were happy 

to meet me and go over what I’d missed.”

LETTERS 

A reader responds to 

last week’s Selwyn 

Times article about 

water rates rising 

How disingenuous of the 

district council to propose 

a significant water rates 

price rise in order to 

combat spiralling demand. 

Given the 35.8 per cent 

population boom – from 

44,595 residents to 60,561 

– in the district between 

2013 and 2018, with many 

more families expected to 

occupy the vast number 

of houses under construction 

or proposed in the 

ever-expanding Rolleston 

environment, spiralling 

demand would come as 

little surprise to anyone. 

Hasn’t the district 

council missed the 

opportunity of a lifetime 

to make innovative 

requirements the new 

norm for all new builds 

since the beginning of the 

post-quake boom? 

This was the chance to 

make rainwater collection 

systems mandatory on all 

new builds. Rainwater 

harvesting is the third largest 

source of water in Australia, 

after surface water 

(dams) and groundwater. 

Roof-collected 

rainwater can be made 

safe and potable so that 

it complies with strict 

international drinking 

water standards. 

In South Australia, 

42 per cent of residents 

mostly drink rainwater in 

preference to mains water 

without any apparent 

effect on the incidence of 

gastrointestinal illness. 

Even if this resource 

was used only in the 

outdoors for irrigation, 

this would allow millions 

of litres of reticulated 

water to be used for 

domestic supply. – Pam 

Dempsey

Lincoln’s adventurous mountain-bikers can now let loose at a new jump 

and bump track. A local initiative, driven by the youths, has culminated 

in the transformation of an unused area next to the Lincoln Mens 

Shed and Lincoln Event Centre at the end of Meijer Drive. The council 

agreed to the use of the site, which had a large stockpile of soil. The 

Lincoln Community Committee also pitched in, including member 

Nic McPherson who supplied an excavator. Specialised track designer 

Cameron Bisset came on board, the riders are adding finishing touches 

with shovels and spades. 

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology 

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a 

new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims 

to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living 

things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found 

at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-inmy-lincoln-section 

A FEW weeks back my 

trouble and strife was stung 

by a small insect on her 

neck. 

Being the extremely 

caring husband I am, 

I showed sympathy 

before duly capturing the 

offending specimen into a 

sample vial. 

A friend at Ministry 

of Primary Industries 

and Lincoln University 

alumni identified it as the 

ew Zealand Michelin ant 

(Fulakora saundersi). 

THis is a primitive 

endemic ant species usually 

found in forested areas of 

New Zealand and also the 

Chatham Islands and Three 

Kings Islands. The ant is 

3-5mm in length, has short, 

12-segmented antennae 

and varies from yellow to 

dark brown in colour. 

IT HAS slender, long 

mandibles that usually 

contain eight teeth. 

THis species belongs to a 

group called Dracula ants – 

a name given because some 

species are known to drink 

the blood of their young. 

However, Dracula 

ants are known more for 

their ability to snap their 

mandibles together at an 

impressive 320km/h – 

that’s 5000 times faster 

than a human blink. 

As if this isn’t enough, 

the New Zealand Michelin 

ant also can sting to 

immobilise its prey. 

THis species is usually 

found under rocks, logs or 

in leaf litter, and nests are 

a simple depression in the 

soil containing 10 to 30 

workers. 

Larvae are fed bits of 

arthropods until the last 

larval stage spins a yellow 

cocoon to pupate into.

Toyota Supra – return of a true icon 

I KNOW MY son regrets selling 

his Toyota Supra. You see, it 

was a rare targa top model, 

twin turbocharged and it had 

had a manual transmission 

conversion. 

He still talks about that car 

with much enthusiasm, and from 

my time driving it I can recall it 

was a ferocious, wild beast, hard 

to tame but immense fun at the 

same time. 

It was one of the last Supras 

Toyota made, until now. 

Well, you could be forgiven 

because the new Toyota Supra 

isn’t entirely a Toyota, it’s been 

developed in conjunction with 

BMW and even gets a BMW 

engine. What’s more, the sleek, 

sporty, very desirable body shell 

sits on a BMW Z4 platform and is 

built in Graz, Austria. 

I’m not knocking that concept, 

and it’s not the first Toyota 

collaboration that has been 

successful, take its 86 sport 

coupe, it was shared with Subaru 

and has gone on to claim healthy 

sales amongst a wide buyer 

demographic. 

The Supra, though, is 

something else. It’s a car for those 

who want a little more grunt in 

their sports car purchase, and 

being built under the influence 

of Toyota’s vast manufacturing 

machine you can guarantee 

it’s going to last you for many 

years to come and will be totally 

reliable along the way. 

Much like it was with my son’s 

Supra, it was bullet-proof, no 

matter how hard it was driven. 

The newcomer is a touch of 

class, its looks stunning, low, sleek 

and sharp and is every inch the 

desirable two-seater coupe you 

would expect wearing that badge. 

Under the skin there’s no 

mistake it has a lot of BMW 

input, the controls, displays 

and materials are much the 

same as you would find in other 

models from the German brand. 

Nevertheless, I’m hooked. It’s the 

best of both worlds really. 

The Supra lands here at 

$98,990, and to me that’s a bit of a 

sports car bargain, the evaluation 

car was a limited edition high 

spec variant that added an extra 

$1000. 

Buyers of the Supra will also 

want performance, and I’m 

pleased to report that the 3-litre 

engine is true to the design of 

the past. There are six-cylinders 

boosted by a twin-scroll 

turbocharging arrangement. 

Toyota claims power outputs of 

285kW and 500Nm, the torque 

figure available all of the way 

from 1800 to 5800rpm. If these 

outputs look familiar, yes they 

are the same as Z4 and the 340i 

wagon that I evaluated in these 

columns recently. 

I recall saying that engine was 

an absolute dynamo in terms 

of strength, it is responsive and 

constantly wanting to work hard. 

The Supra will lunge from 

a standstill to 100km/h in a 

blistering 4.1sec, and will push 

through a highway overtake 

in 3.8sec (80-120km/h). These 

are quick times and will satisfy 

any driver who likes to feel the 

urgency of a genuine sports 

vehicle. 

What’s more, the engine is 

quiet and smooth, it howls a 

little towards the redline but 

that’s a traditional six-cylinder 

characteristic, and a Supra buyer 

would like to have the sound of 

energy. 

Drive is through an eight-speed 

automatic gearbox, there are few 

surprises there, quick, clean shifts 

are on offer, and there are paddle 

shifters if you want to change 

manually. 

Power is then channelled 

rearwards, and the feel you get 

from that is traditional, there’s 

something about the push you 

get from the rear wheels and, for 

that matter, the Supra delivers a 

forceful feel and sitting almost 

above the rear axles all that 

movement and feel is delivered to 

the driver. 

I took the evaluation car on 

my favourite Canterbury high 

EYE-CATCHING: Low, sleek lines of the new Supra compares well to the 1999 Kiddie-owned targa top. 

• Price – Toyota Supra, 

$99,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4379mm; width, 2026mm; 

height, 1292mm 

• Configuration – Sixcylinder, 

rear-wheel-drive, 

2998cc, 285kW, 500Nm, 

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.3sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km 

country run. The Supra feels 

tight on the road and although 

the spring and damper rates are 

firmish there is still on board 

compliance, you don’t get tired or 

sore sitting in it for long periods, 

it just feels so right, it is balanced 

and controllable. 

Sure, there are extensive 

traction control systems, but they 

aren’t put to the test. Huge rear 

Michelin Pilot tyres (275/35 x 

19in) have grip in abundance and 

it’s actually quite hard to make 

the rear playful while turn-in 

up front is direct and feedback 

of what the tyres are doing in 

relation to the road surface is 

TOYOTA 

SUPRA: 

BMW 

technology 

used 

throughout. 

communicated fully. 

Powering out of some of those 

tight corners, the rear squats and 

grips,propulsion is mustered in 

quickly, and if you need to stamp 

on the brakes for the next corner 

a premium Brembo system 

generates huge stopping force. 

You could well be excused for 

thinking all of this fun comes at 

the price of fuel use. Instead, you 

may well be surprised, Toyota 

claims a 7.7-litre per 100km 

combined cycle average, much 

the same as BMW claims with 

the Z4. 

My time with the test car was 

surprising given I did explore 

high revolutions on many an 

occasion, it went back to the 

dealership showing 8.6l/100km 

on the readout. For the record, 

at 100km/h the engine is turning 

over at just 1600rpm, merely 

sipping fuel at the rate of just 

5l/100km. 

There’s nothing quite like 

the feel of a turbocharged sixcylinder 

engine, I’ve hung on to 

my trusty old Toyota in the event 

finances would allow that to 

become a project whereby I could 

afford to hook a turbo kit onto 

that engine, it’s the same design as 

my son’s old Supra. 

I’ll never be able to afford 

a new Supra, but I consider 

myself privileged to have had 

a week with the evaluation car, 

it certainly is something very 

refreshing and is a car you would 

never tire of. 

However, you may tire of the 

attention you will receive, never 

before have I been in a car that 

has received so much comment 

and adoring looks.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

Veteran car run 

remembers Anzacs 

When Malcolm and his wife, Anita, took 

their veteran Renault car out for a drive to 

Sheffield on Anzac Day several years ago, 

they had no idea that their maiden journey 

would turn into an annual event. 

“It was so nice,” says Malcom of 

the wreaths laid around the Sheffield 

cenotaph, “and quite moving to think we 

were driving one of the cars associated 

with that time.” The pair continued on to 

the Hororata memorial and then came up 

with the idea of an Anzac vintage car run 

that covered 80km around the Malvern 

District visiting war memorials with their 

newly laid wreaths. 

“We proposed the run to the Vintage 

Car Club, which embraced the idea, and 

now it’s a regular event on the calendar.” 

Sponsored by Dutton Garage in 

Christchurch, the Malvern Anzac Run 

annually attracts veteran cars from all 

over Canterbury and from as far away as 

Ashburton and Dunedin. 

“It has an appeal to vintage car owners 

because we travel on back roads, which are 

quieter and more suitable for veteran cars 

prior to 1918,” says Malcom. 

The event is open to cars of the war 

years and just slightly after – cars that have 

been driven after the war era. The oldest 

registered car in New Zealand, a 1900 

Wolseley, annually makes the trip from 

Dunedin to take part. 

The event kicks off at 10am on Anzac 

Day from the Darfield Recreation Centre, 

where club members meet for morning 

tea with their cars on public display 

until 11.30am. In the past the group has 

been waved on its way by Mayor Sam 

Broughton. 

Malcom says it’s a great way to showcase 

vintage cars. “Early cars are part of our 

history – it’s been left to people to preserve 

them, there is no government funding like 

there is for historical buildings. It’s nice to 

keep the cars on the road so people can see 

and appreciate them.’ 

Not only can the public get to view the 

cars on Anzac Day but if they own a war 

era vintage car, they are also invited to 

take part in the run. To find out more, 

contact Malcom on 027 433 8047. 

Symbolic: From left – Colin Winter of Dunedin (with his 

1900 Wolseley) and George Lee of Christchurch Alldays 

and Onions, at the start of the 2019 run, tear up the red 

flag that was once required in the early days to be carried 

by a person walking in front of a moving vehicle.

GARDENING 

Plant your natives now 

• By Henri Ham 

IF YOU WANT to add bold and 

attractive plants to your garden 

that are resilient and will last for 

years with little love, then look no 

further than native plants. 

Right now – in autumn – it’s 

the perfect time to plant natives 

in your garden. Planting your 

natives now lets them really get 

established before the cooler and 

wetter months arrive. 

The great thing about natives 

is their ability to cope in areas of 

high rainfall, and their resilience to 

growing in a range of landscapes. 

Once planted, natives can easily 

flourish for years with very little 

extra care, making a very low 

maintenance, but striking kiwi 

garden feel. And, as an added 

bonus, natives are fantastic for 

attracting birds to your garden, as 

they love the flowers, nectar and 

berries. 

Worried natives are only for 

people with loads of space? Lowgrowing 

flaxes take up relatively 

little room, and can provide years 

of enjoyment. Cookianum 

mountain flax is a dwarf variety, 

with lush spiky green foliage. And 

Banks Peninsula blue (Festuca 

actae) is an ornamental perennial 

grass, which is grown for its 

subtle, soft blue foliage. 

Many native trees and hedging 

plants are diverse in their use. 

They can be shaped into smaller 

shrubs or aligned into hedges. 

SUBTLE: Festuca actae or 

Banks Peninsula blue is an 

ornamental perennial grass. 

Trees such as Pittosporum 

(tenuifolium) look great as an 

individual planted tree, but when 

planted around 1m apart form a 

fast-growing hedge that can be 

moulded to your liking. Another 

example is Akeake (green 

or purple) – usually considered 

a fast-growing shrub, but if left 

alone will become a tree reaching 

3-4m. 

Kakabeak is a favourite of mine 

– a lovely shrub with attractive 

spring/summer flowers that resemble 

the beak of the Kaka parrot. 

They can reach 2 -3m high, 

and last 15-20 years – making for 

a pretty garden, with a relaxed 


upkeep. Once planted, you can 

easily plant annuals around these 

natives, and vary these yearly to 

change the garden feel. 

Once you’ve got your natives, 

select their new home in the 

garden. Natives can be planted in 

boggy areas too, so it could be a 

chance to revitalise a wet or lessattractive 

part of your garden. 

I often encourage gardeners 

to grow ‘drifts’ of natives plants; 

which means planting an uneven 

number of plants, or unbalanced 

groupings, to create a casual and 

natural looking native garden – 

similar to the flowers in a cottage 

garden. 

To plant, dig a hole for each 

plant and bury to the top of its 

root ball. They will need an initial 

watering every few days to ensure 

their best possible start. Natives 

enjoy rich soil, so mulch with a 

rich compost, and top this up sixmonthly. 

You can layer shells, pebbles 

and different sized rocks around 

your plants for a contemporary 

feel, and this will additionally help 

keep the weeds away. 

Natives can also be planted in 

larger pots, and can thrive for a 

few years with minimum work. 

Smaller flaxes naturally lend 

themselves here, but native shrubs 

can look really pretty too. 

The pots will restrict their roots 

and create a ‘bonsai’ effect, keeping 

them naturally smaller. 

TOP-SELLER: Polyanthus grow anywhere there is sun. 

Add colour for winter 

THERE’S A reason polyanthus 

is one of the top selling plants 

year after year. In fact, there are a 

couple of reasons. 

Polyanthus is very easy to 

plant and grows just about 

anywhere – as long as there’s 

some sun. 

But we think the secret behind 

it’s popularity, comes down to 

the fantastic, bright colours it 

comes in – particularly at a time 

like winter when there isn’t so 

much colour in the garden. 

This pretty and popular plant 

come in a range of hues like 

pink, blue and red and looks 

great in hanging baskets or 

borders. 

You can grow polyanthus in 

pots but they also look good 

planted around potted citrus 

trees. 

Once you’ve got your seedlings 

you need to find a spot to grow 

them. If you’re planting outside, 

make sure the soil is welldrained, 

then dig over and add 

some compost. 

If you’re potting your 

polyanthus, use potting mix to 

ensure they have the best kickstart 

to their growth. 

In around four to six weeks 

you should have these tight, low, 

compact and colourful plants 

brightening up your home and 

garden. 

Pick off the dead flowers to 

encourage more flowering and 

watch out for slugs. 

Handy tip: If your polyanthus 

has trouble flowering, add a 

little bit of dried blood from the 

garden centre to provide more 

potassium. 

Garden 

In the 

with intelligro 

Autumn is a great time for getting things 

ticked off your ‘To Do’ list in the garden. 

Winter gardens start in autumn, so get 

those veggies in ready for harvesting 

through winter. 

Lawn maintenance is near the top of the 

list, both preparing new ones and sprucing 

up existing. Fertilise on an overcast day, 

preferably with rain on the forecast. New 

lawns can be sown now too. 

Edible Garden 

Plant seedling such as cabbage, 

cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, kale, 

beetroot, silver beet and radish. 

Flower Garden 

Bulbs can be planted now; 

daffodils, freesias, tulips, 

anemone to name a few. 

NEW IN 

Birdies Garden Beds are 

now available both in store and 

online! Made with high quality 

steel, these beds are built to last. 

They come in 3 different sizes, and

GARDENING 31 

Time to tackle the 

tricky garden pests 

AUTUMN DAYS herald a 

change towards cooler weather, 

the soil stays moist and there’s 

colour everywhere. 

It can also be the best season 

for planting, because new plants 

have time to settle in before 

they’re faced with their first 

summer. 

Fertilising 

Spread organic pellets around 

shrubs and flowerbeds. 

Feed citrus and other fruit trees 

with citrus food. 

Clear away weeds and grass 

at the base and spread a layer of 

organic mulch over the root area 

(keeping well clear of the trunk). 

Remember, feeding with high 

potash fertilisers encourages 

blooming and, even more 

importantly, builds plants’ 

resistance to disease (essential 

at this time of year when fungal 

problems are rife). 

Lawn care 

Give lawns a feed with a longlasting 

fertiliser. Early autumn 

is the ideal time to rejuvenate 

tired lawns. Spike with a fork or 

a purpose-designed lawn aerator 

PESTS: Caterpillars and white butterflies will destroy 

cabbages. 

and oversow with a lawn seed 

blend. 

Pest control 

Watch out for the autumn 

influx of caterpillars. 

White moths and butterflies 

attack cabbages, cauliflowers, 

rocket and their relatives, 

vine moth caterpillars are 

demolishing grape leaves, flax 

caterpillar is stripping leaf 

sections of leaves, leaf rollers are 

knitting leaves and emerging to 

graze on apples, feijoas and other 

fruit. 

Use low toxic options for 

controlling most caterpillars. 

Grass grubs and porina, too, can 

destroy lawns. 

Treat weeds 

Many annual weeds are 

approaching maturity and should 

be removed before they have the 

chance to spread their seeds. 

Other autumn tasks 

Prune the hydrangea stems that 

flowered last summer. 

Reduce clusters of camellia 

buds to one per stem. Divide 

perennial plants and spread to 

other parts of the garden. 

After their leaves have fallen, 

spray deciduous fruit trees (eg 

peaches) with a copper fungicide. 

Good coverage will clean up 

the remains of summer pests and 

diseases. Move cold-sensitive 

container plants into shelter. 

MOISTURE: Mulch shouldn’t be used just to make the 

garden look tidy. 

Use mulch judiciously, 

don’t make volcanoes 

MULCH, IT seems, is the new 

compost. 

There’s nothing wrong with 

mulch when it’s used judiciously, 

but creating ‘‘mulch volcanoes’’ 

around your trees is a very bad 

idea, especially when it’s done 

mainly for aesthetics. 

The root zone of an established 

tree extends beyond its drip 

line, so mounding the mulch 

against the trunk does little for 

the roots, except cause roots near 

the trunk to grow into the mulch 

volcano. 

The piled-up mulch can soften 

the bark of some young trees and 

invites insects and diseases. 

The lower trunk, unlike the 

roots, cannot easily survive 

long-term with the constant 

moisture the volcano traps—it’s 

the equivalent of planting a tree 

too deeply. 

Bear in mind that the main 

reasons for mulching are to 

retain soil moisture, suppress 

weeds and moderate soil 

temperatures — not to cover the 

garden so it looks tidier.

Operative Selwyn District Plan 


Rolleston West Residential Limited have lodged a private plan change request with the Council. 

Selwyn District Council 

Clause 5 of the First Schedule, Resource Management Act 1991 

Plan change 73 (PC73) proposes to change the Operative Selwyn District Plan to rezone 

approximately 160 hectares of Living 3 land to Living Z and Business 1 (Local Centre) on Dunns 

Crossing Road, West Rolleston. 

The subject land is comprised of two separate blocks: 

· The Holmes Block, being a 87.5 hectare property situated on the southwest corner of Dunns 

Crossing Road and Main South Road; and 

· The Skellerup Block, being a 72.7 hectare property situated on the west side of Dunns 

Crossing Road, approximately midway between Selwyn Road and Brookside Road. 

The change seeks to insert a development plan and associated rules into the District Plan. If 

approved it would result in development of approximately 2,100 residential lots across the two 

sites and a local centre on each site. 

PC73 proposes amendments to the Operative Selwyn District Plan that include: 

· amending the District Planning Maps to rezone the subject land from Living 3 to Living Z and 

Business 1 (Local Centre) 

· incorporating an outline development plan to coordinate and guide the future development of 

the sites. 

The plan change request and associated assessment can be read at Council’s Rolleston 

Headquarters and can be viewed online at service centres and public libraries in Darfield, 

Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston or at www.selwyn.govt.nz. 

Submissions 

Any person or organisation may make a submission supporting or opposing any aspect of this

A SNAPSHOT OF OUR 

LONG-TERM PLAN 2021–2031 CONSULTATION DOCUMENT 

Selwyn’s future 

in your hands 

Kia ora 

Selwyn is growing more quickly than almost any other 

district in New Zealand – and managing that growth is 

what our Long-Term Plan is all about. The proposals 

in the plan represent what’s important to provide for 

Selwyn’s growing population, while aiming to keep costs 

at a reasonable level. 

Our 10-year plan focuses on consolidating recent 

investment in major projects, and looking after the district’s 

assets for future generations. 

Since our last plan we’ve successfully managed the 

way our district has developed and grown. I’m pleased 

that we’ve put in place much of the core infrastructure 

our growing district needs – from essential water and 

waste services and roading networks through to libraries, 

community and recreation centres and services. 

Looking ahead, we continue to plan for the future needs of 

our residents, but also to make sure we’re looking after the 

assets and infrastructure we already have. 

We have some big decisions ahead of us – and if we are to 

get this plan right we need your help. Take a look through 

this snapshot, check out the information online, or read the 

consultation document, and let us know what you think.

Sam Broughton 

Mayor of Selwyn 

OUR MAP FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS 

Visit selwyn.govt.nz/thisway2031 for more information 

on our proposals and how to have your say.


Our big decisions. 

What’s proposed across our district? 

On this map you’ll find the eight major proposals and some of the other projects we’re proposing 

across a range of our activities and services. We’re seeking your feedback on these proposals to 

help us make final decisions. 

This is just a brief overview of our big decisions. For more information on these projects, 

including the costs and impact on your rates, see the consultation document and supporting 

information at www.selwyn.govt.nz/thisway2031.

BIG DECISION 1 








Keeping our drinking water safe – we’re proposing to continue 

our current approach to maintaining safe water supplies, 

which meet community expectations, and comply with 

expected new regulations. 

Funding our drinking water supply – we’re proposing to change 

the way we charge for the supply of drinking water, to meet 

increasing costs and to help manage our high water demand. This 

may be through options for increasing the volumetric (metered) 

water rate and the annual fixed rate. 

Wastewater system for Darfield and Kirwee – we’re proposing to 

develop a reticulated wastewater system in these towns with a 

connection to the Pines wastewater treatment plant in Rolleston. 

The alternative is to retain the existing septic tank system. 

Maintaining our roading network – we’re looking at how much we 

should invest in road maintenance, with the option of adding extra 

funding above what Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency supports, 

so we can carry out additional work. 

New roading and transport projects – we’re proposing an extensive 

programme of roading upgrades and projects across the district, 

with the option of varying the programme by starting some projects 

earlier or later. 

New community centre for Prebbleton – we’re proposing to build a 

new community centre, with the option to defer the project outside 

the 10-year plan. 

Future of Leeston library and new community centre – following 

consultation last year we’re proposing to build a new combined 

library/service centre and community centre on Leeston Park, 

with the alternative of upgrading the existing building or deferring 

the project. 

Future of Hororata community centre – we’re proposing to 

construct a new Hororata Community Centre on the domain, with 

the options of retaining or renovating the existing hall.

What will my rates look like? 

Average annual rate rises of 4% to 5% are 

forecast over the next 10 years. 

Based on the proposals in our draft plan, we expect rate increases to remain steady over the next 10 

years, at an average of around 4% to 5% each year. 

The average proposed increase for the 2021/22 year (starting 1 July 2021) is 4.9%. This is within the 

limit set by the Council that the average rate increase should not exceed 6% in any one year over the 

next decade. 

Note: these are averages and for individual ratepayers the actual change may be smaller or greater, depending on their location and the services provided. 

Rating examples 

The table below shows the proposed changes to annual rates for a sample of typical properties for the 2021/22 year 

compared with the current year. It also shows the forecast annual changes for the 2022/23 and 2023/24 years, plus the 

average annual percentage change over the coming 10 years. These are changes for typical properties and the changes for 

individual properties will vary.

Building on a budget 

Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with 

a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford. 

Get smart with your money to achieve 

your dream home without compromising 

on what’s really important. 

Consider buying a large plot of land with 

friends or family which you can split into 

smaller lots. Many great 

locations tend to cover 

more ground, so get the 

stunning harbour view 

you dream of by sharing 

the cost with someone you 

don’t mind having as a 

neighbour. 

Opting for lowmaintenance 

building 

materials, like vinyl siding 

and metal roofing saves in 

the long run. Although 

they may be more 

expensive to install you 

will save money on future 

repairs, replacement or 

repainting. 

Using salvaged and recycled 

materials and componentry 

from the abundance of 

demolition sites around the 

city not only adds valuable 

character to new builds, but 

can save money, too. 

For the safety and security 

of your home, don’t skimp on structural 

elements, doors and windows. Buy the 

very best you can afford and, together 

with your architect or builder, determine 

other areas you could save on to allow for 

a few luxuries. 

It’s important not to waste valuable cash 

on overbuilding. Look carefully at the 

existing properties in the area and be 

Deciding exactly 

what you want 

and then sticking with 

it will ensure you stay 

on budget, on time, 

and all with 

minimal stress. 

aware that building a home that is bigger 

and better than those of your neighbours 

will not necessarily equate to a fair price 

if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the 

value of your build will be determined 

by the lower-priced homes 

around it. 

The experience of a wellqualified 

contractor is an 

invaluable asset in any 

building project. Not only 

will you have recourse 

should anything go wrong, 

but their experience in 

the industry means they 

will have established 

relationships with suppliers 

and subcontractors, whom 

they trust to deliver the best 

workmanship possible. 

Keep a close eye on 

construction allowances as 

your home is being built 

to ensure you are getting 

what you asked for and 

what you paid for. if you 

had initially agreed on 

using a specific brand, for 

example, then don’t settle 

for less, unless you discuss 

a cost adjustment with your 

builder or contractor. 

Many a building project has snowballed 

out of control in the financial department 

due to changes being made to the design 

and materials once building is already 

underway. Deciding exactly what you 

want and then sticking with it will ensure 

you stay on budget, within your expected 

time frame, and all with minimal stress.

Mini makeover gives 

living areas a lift 

Don’t let heading into winter give you the 

blues. Think of all the things you love about 

the cooler seasons and give your home a 

mini-makeover to make it the comfortable, 

warm and welcoming home you desire. 

Revamping your living and dining areas 

will give your lived-in spaces a fresh new 

feel. Unlike a renovation, a revamp (or 

face lift) need not involve a huge financial 

outlay. In fact it is an extremely budgetfriendly 

way of giving your rooms a new 

look as you can add and subtract pieces as 

the pay packet allows. 

Moving slowly over the next couple of 

months is an advantage. If you don’t, after 

all, like that bright pink cushion you had 

planned to build your new look around, 

you can change direction without having 

spent too much money. Another advantage 

of moving slowly to build your new look is 

the time it allows you to hunt for just the 

right pieces, or wait for the sales to offer 

you bargains. Also have a look around your 

home for items you could recover, paint or, 

with a little tweaking, find new purpose for. 

Start your facelift by deciding what sort of 

look you’re going to aim for. 

Browse magazines and the internet for 

ideas, check paint colour charts for the 

latest colour options. Visit furnishing stores 

and take note of the different display areas - 

how do they balance colour and texture? 

Then find an item you would like to 

build your new look around. This could 

be a treasure you’ve had for a while or 

something that you covet and have spotted 

in a shop. 

Your next step is to sit down with 

pencil & paper & plan. List what items 

can be changed and how, and what can’t. 

Think colour, shades and tones and 

complementary colours, think texture, 

think pattern, think outside the square. 

Think fabric, wood, plastic, old and new. 

That comfy old chair doesn’t need to be 

replaced. 

Buy some furnishing fabric and recover 

it (or have it recovered).What items have 

other family members put aside because 

they no longer need them but they’re ‘too 

good to throw out’? 

Once you’ve got some sort of plan 

mapped out you can start work on creating 

your new look. 

Spend time browsing the shops to see 

what is available in your chosen colour 

- candles, photo frames, vases, pot plant 

holders, wallpaper, fabric, large items and 

small.

Buying a property at auction 

If you’re keen on a property that’s going 

to auction, preparation is everything. A 

successful bid means you are immediately 

committed to buy the property; you 

cannot seek legal advice, arrange finance 

or even get the property valued or 

inspected when the auction is over. 

That means you need to do all your 

due diligence in advance of auction day. 

Before the auction (usually after you’ve 

viewed the property), the real estate agent 

working for the seller should provide you 

with a copy of the terms and Contract of 

Sale, which sets out what chattels will be 

included with the property. This document 

will also tell you the amount of the deposit 

to be paid by the successful bidder, and 

when the balance of the payment must 

be made. These documents should be 

checked by your lawyer. 

You should consider having the property 

checked (preferably by a qualified 

inspector who has professional indemnity 

insurance and carries out their work 

in accordance with the New Zealand 

Property Inspection Standards and 

obtain an up-to-date Land Information 

Memorandum (LIM) from the local 

council. It’s a good idea to get a valuation 

of the property, especially as you are likely 

to require one if you need a loan. Some 

websites provide free estimated market 

values that may be useful. 

There’s a lot to take in at an auction and 

it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you can, 

go along to one as an observer to see how 

the process works before you actually want 

to buy. Remember that the auctioneer is 

working for the seller and they want to get 

the highest price possible for the property. 

At an auction, the auctioneer will read the terms and 

conditions of the sale aloud and announce if a reserve 

price has been set. They must also state whether the seller 

has reserved the right to bid during the auction. This is 

called ‘vendor bidding’ and it is only allowed under strict 

circumstances, such as when the property being auctioned 

has a reserve price; when the reserve price has not yet 

been met; and the auctioneer has made it clear that the bid 

being made is a vendor bid. They must do this by saying, 

‘this is a vendor bid’ rather than using any jargon. 

Auctioneers sometimes use vendor bids as a way to start 

off the bidding, or to move the bidding towards the reserve 

price. Vendor bids can be made by the 

auctioneer, or another person working on 

behalf of the seller, such as a real estate 

agent. An auctioneer can also use a preauction 

offer to start the bidding. 

The auction continues until there is only 

one bidder left. At that stage, if the reserve 

price is reached or beaten, the highest 

bidder will be the successful buyer. If the 

reserve price isn’t reached, the seller can 

tell the auctioneer to stop the auction 

without selling the property. 

If the auction is stopped without a 

sale, the highest bidder may have the 

opportunity to negotiate with the seller 

(via their agent) after the auction. If this 

happens, the terms and conditions of 

the auction no longer apply and you can 

negotiate new ones.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Meisha’s 

making interior 

design magic 

Five years ago, Meisha Campbell saw 

potential in the fast-growing Selwyn 

district. The property boom that’s seen 

countless developments take form, and 

more still in progress, meant plenty of 

people needing interior design help. 

But (thanks to reality television) there’s 

a common misconception that interior 

designers are scary and intimidating—and 

that’s simply not true. Whether you’re 

building a new home or just need some 

help refreshing your current home, a 

business like Design by Meisha can make 

all the difference. 

Removing clutter 

is the first step 

Meisha’s hot tip is to spend time 

removing clutter. For every five items, 

take away three for a more physically 

and visually calm home. But if you’d 

prefer Meisha to come in and wave her 

magic wand, there are a few ways you 

can work with her. The simplest option 

that isn’t expensive but will still have 

impact, is a consult for advice and to 

re-jig your room. This process helps pull 

your vision together, working with what 

you already have. If you’re building a new 

home, you might want a more thorough 

collaboration that considers your personal 

style, comfort, and functionality. Keeping 

colours neutral and using removable items 

for warmth and colour (that is, pillows, 

furniture, art and other accessories) is a 

good strategy. 

Design for re-sale 

Selwyn boasts many young property 

buyers and common feedback is why 

would they renovate an old house, when 

building new is cheaper? It appears to be a 

wider shift in how buyers are thinking and 

explains why the skills of interior designers 

are in demand. With plenty of equity, 

they’re not staying in their homes for long 

and are making careful, informed choices 

about how to style their home so that it 

appeals to the masses come time to put it 

on the market again. Colours like Resene 

Black White make up the bulk of paint 

choices and spots of colour via furnishings 

BEFORE 

and decorating are used as landing spots 

to give the eyes a break. Smart people are 

always thinking ahead, and that can pay 

off if you’re thinking of selling in a few 

years. 

Interior design made easy 

Design by Meisha carefully vets home 

build companies. Morals must align and 

end products are something to be proud 

of; Meisha currently works alongside 

builders like DB Homes and Fortified 

homes, and directly with clients who need 

help. Services are available to everyone 

in Selwyn with options suitable for all 

budgets. Plus, just by working with Meisha 

you unlock discounts at Resene. You can 

find Design by Meisha on Facebook and 

Instagram using @designbymeisha.
