Still fighting fires after<br />

50 years – ‘it’s not about me’<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

MANY CALL-OUTS for<br />

small-town fire brigades<br />

are to assist friends and<br />

acquaintances, says Coalgate<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade chief<br />

Phillip Shaw.<br />

“There’s a lot of call-outs that<br />

are usually memorable for the<br />

wrong reasons,” Shaw said.<br />

Shaw has been recognised for<br />

his service to the brigade, being<br />

awarded the double gold star<br />

recognising 50 years service, at<br />

an awards evening last month.<br />

He joined at the age of<br />

just 19, when he was a selfemployed<br />

shearing contractor.<br />

Residents<br />

to get<br />

police<br />

tips on<br />

beating<br />

crime<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

RESIDENTS WILL be learning<br />

how to improve their vehicle and<br />

home security as police launch a<br />

campaign on crime prevention.<br />

Police will have a purpose-built<br />

crime prevention vehicle outside<br />

supermarkets at Lincoln and<br />

Rolleston next week, offering<br />

advice to residents.<br />

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />

said while crime rates in the district<br />

were low, residents could do<br />

better when it came to improving<br />

their own security.<br />

The rate of car break-ins in the<br />

district was about one every two<br />

days, at the most, he said.<br />

“The focus will be on home and<br />

vehicle security, as this is still an<br />

area where our own security can<br />

be improved,” Harker said.<br />

The vehicle would be at New<br />

World Lincoln on Wednesday<br />

3-6pm, Countdown Rolleston<br />

on Thursday 3.30-6pm, and<br />

New World Rolleston on Friday<br />

11.30am-1.30pm.<br />

THAT’S A pretty good<br />

innings from Coalgate fire<br />

chief Phillip Shaw on our<br />

front page today.<br />

Shaw, 70, has been<br />

recognised for 50 years<br />

service with the volunteer<br />

brigade. Retirement is<br />

not even on the horizon, he<br />

says.<br />

Volunteer firefighters are<br />

vital in any small community,<br />

and those in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

district are among New<br />

Zealand’s finest.<br />

They fight major out-ofcontrol<br />

scrub fires to small<br />

domestic blazes, attend<br />

vehicle crashes from the<br />

horrific to the minor and are<br />

often the first responders to a<br />

medical incident.<br />

In a small community<br />

like the Coalgate area the<br />

volunteers are likely to know<br />

the victims of the call-outs<br />

they attend. Mentally that<br />

can be very tough.<br />

The community needs<br />

more people like Phillip<br />

Shaw.<br />

HISTORY BUFFS are lobbying<br />

the district council for more<br />

support, to the tune of up to $2<br />

million. They want the council<br />

to fund heritage preservation<br />

through a district-wide rate.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Heritage and Historical<br />

Network represents the 16<br />

groups in the district.<br />

Chairman Grant Clausen<br />

said members worked countless<br />

hours to collect and catalogue<br />

the images and stories of their<br />

areas, as well as maintain and<br />

improve heritage buildings.<br />

The current level of council’s<br />

commitment, encompassing<br />

annual grants and contestable<br />

funding streams, was not enough<br />

to undertake larger projects outside<br />

of day-to-day costs.<br />

“Fundraising sausage sizzles<br />

and raffles will not raise the<br />

money required to fulfil this<br />

task,” Clausen said.<br />

“Many volunteers are getting<br />

older, the meaningful stuff is going<br />

to get lost.”<br />

Members wanted buildings<br />

and display areas made fitfor-purpose<br />

to properly house<br />

historical items. They also<br />

wanted to develop a heritage trail<br />

throughout the district, and have<br />

an appointed council staff member<br />

to liaise with groups and<br />

promote the district’s history.<br />

Big-ticket items requiring<br />

funding included about $500,000<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

More heritage funding called for<br />

for turning a building at the Ellesmere<br />

Heritage Park into a museum,<br />

complementing a restored<br />

1870s cottage and the 1870s<br />

Southbridge Gaol at the site.<br />

Others included turning the<br />

Hororata Hall into a historical<br />

society, shifting the nationallyrenowned<br />

Burnham Military<br />

Museum from the military<br />

camp to Rolleston, developing<br />

a woolshed on the 19th century<br />

Terrace Station at Hororata into<br />

an educational and display space,<br />

and securing the future of the<br />

1959 Arthur’s Pass National Park<br />

visitor centre.<br />

Clausen urged members of the<br />

public to submit to the long-term<br />

plan to support increasing heritage<br />

funding. The consultative<br />

document released last month<br />

had not included any funding<br />

for this, in spite of the network<br />

lobbying for it.<br />

Council group manager community<br />

services and facilities<br />

Denise Kidd said the council supports<br />

heritage through the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Heritage Fund, which provided up<br />

to $73,000 a year for specific heritage<br />

protection projects.<br />

“On top of this, the council<br />

provides funding to heritage<br />

groups through the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Community Grants Fund for<br />

various events and projects. The<br />

council’s Creative Communities<br />

Fund has also funded heritagerelated<br />

projects,” Kidd said.<br />

Additionally, the council<br />

developed and enforced rules for<br />

the protection of buildings and<br />

areas of historical significance<br />

under the District Plan.<br />

Council staff had met with<br />

network members last month and<br />

outlined the council’s existing<br />

plans and projects related to heritage<br />

within existing funding budgets.<br />

And prior to this, the council<br />

had encouraged heritage groups to<br />

consider what proposals they wold<br />

submit to the long term plan.<br />

TREE TRIMMER BLAZE<br />

Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

members responded to a fire in<br />

a tree topper on Monday<br />

morning last week. Chief Stuart<br />

Jones said the machine was<br />

extensively damaged in the<br />

blaze, which was caused by a<br />

mechanical fault in the engine.<br />

The topper was in operation at<br />

the time, trimming a hedge along<br />

Homebush Rd. The brigade had<br />

another call-out on Wednesday<br />

about 6pm. A power transformer<br />

on Highfield Rd had caught fire,<br />

setting alight a small area of<br />

vegetation underneath.<br />

Many call-outs are to acquaintances<br />

• From page 1<br />

Today aged 70 and retired,<br />

Shaw remembers vividly the reason<br />

behind wanting to become a<br />

firefighter. It’s the same reason he<br />

plans to continue in the brigade<br />

today.<br />

“You just do your things for<br />

your community. It’s not about<br />

me, it’s about the brigade,” Shaw<br />

said.<br />

He has lived in Coalgate most<br />

of his life, attending Glentunnel<br />

School and Darfield High School.<br />

He said being a firefighter for<br />

a small town brigade meant that<br />

most call-outs were to incidents<br />

that affected friends and acquaintances.<br />

“The chances are very high if<br />

we get a call to an MVA (motor<br />

vehicle accident), it’s someone we<br />

will know.<br />

“We have known people who<br />

have been deceased and that’s<br />

pretty hard.”<br />

The same was true for calls to<br />

medical situations. Firefighters<br />

sometimes faced trying to resuscitate<br />

a patient, only to lose them.<br />

“I can think of three or four<br />

just sitting here now, people I<br />

know quite well you are performing<br />

CPR on.”<br />

Shaw said he always looked<br />

out for fellow members of the<br />

brigade, wanting to ensure they<br />

were doing okay as they coped<br />

with such trauma. For himself,<br />

he found a quiet beer and debrief<br />

back at the station with other<br />

firefighters helped.<br />

He said discussions following<br />

any such event were valuable<br />

at a professional level as well,<br />

allowing firefighters to look at<br />

ways they could improve their<br />

response at similar call-outs in<br />

future.<br />

Memorable call-outs included<br />

house fires, as well as a fire at the<br />

Glentunnel garage, and the arson<br />

of the Glentunnel Hall in 2003.<br />

News reports of the latter incident<br />

describe fire crews bringing<br />

the blaze under control within<br />

15 minutes after arriving to find<br />

the entire building engulfed in<br />

flames.<br />

Shaw said call-outs drew a response<br />

from Coalgate firefighters<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Fire callouts for Coalgate Fire<br />

Station vary each year from about 25 to more than 40.<br />

which encompassed their wider<br />

roles as community members.<br />

“Members if possible rally<br />

around, give a hand, clean up<br />

afterwards. We are not just there<br />

to do our job and go home, they<br />

will be around there with a digger<br />

and a tractor,” Shaw said.<br />

Shaw said the brigade’s 19<br />

firefighters, comprising 18<br />

men and one woman, were<br />

enthusiastic and contributed<br />

much to the brigade in terms<br />

of their expertise and training.<br />

The number of brigade call-outs<br />

each year varied from about 25 to<br />

more than 40.<br />

“We have a really good group<br />

who can turn out very, very<br />

quickly, and that’s what it’s<br />

about,” he said.<br />

Police rely heavily on<br />

community patrols<br />

• From page 1<br />

“We will be looking<br />

at visiting other towns<br />

in the district in the<br />

next few months,”<br />

Harker said.<br />

Harker said he had<br />

recently attended a<br />

meeting with <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Community Patrol,<br />

where he had been<br />

pleased to see several<br />

new volunteers had<br />

signed up. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> patrol<br />

and Malvern Community Patrol<br />

acted as the “eyes and ears” of<br />

police, reporting any unusual<br />

activity.<br />

He urged anyone interested to<br />

join, as both groups sought new<br />

members.<br />

“Police heavily rely on community<br />

patrols throughout New<br />

Zealand, and our local patrols<br />

do a fantastic job,” Harker said.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> patrol chairman Errol<br />

Wood said the recent intake of<br />

volunteers had been successful.<br />

The organisation had about 50<br />

members, each undertaking<br />

about one shift per month.<br />

He hoped to add more<br />

members, particularly those<br />

who did not mind working past<br />

midnight.<br />

He said many of the current<br />

members were retirees, who<br />

liked to finish their shifts about<br />

11pm, meaning the patrol was<br />

often not operating at the same<br />

time criminals were active.<br />

Wood had been a resident of<br />

Lincoln for 38 years, and in that<br />

time there had been an increase<br />

in petty crime. Extending the<br />

hours the patrol operated would<br />

help combat this increase.<br />

“We would probably observe<br />

more of that behaviour,” Wood<br />

said.<br />

The patrol has the use of a<br />

modern car marked with community<br />

patrol signage, made<br />

possible with funding from local<br />

charities and businesses. The<br />

district’s growing population<br />

would most likely necessitate<br />

adding a second vehicle in future,<br />

he said.<br />

The patrol covers Lincoln,<br />

Prebbleton, Rolleston, West<br />

Melton and other towns.<br />

“IT’S GOING to be a full house.”<br />

That is the message from <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds<br />

promoter David Parlane ahead of the event<br />

on Saturday.<br />

International travel restrictions mean<br />

that this year the event is “keeping it Kiwi,”<br />

said Parlane.<br />

The expected crowd of about 10,000 will<br />

be treated to an all New Zealand lineup<br />

featuring Stan Walker, Jordan Luck Band,<br />

Zed, Elemeno P, Annie Crummer, The<br />

Chills, Hello Sailor, Lady Killers and Automatic<br />

80s.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds was scheduled for<br />

last month, but was delayed due to the<br />

Covid-19 alert level rise.<br />

Parlane said holding it this month will<br />

add a new feel, as it will be the first time<br />

Lincoln Domain transcends into full darkness<br />

during the event.<br />

The venue will be illuminated by an impressive<br />

lighting system, which will bring a<br />

whole new excitement to the performances<br />

filled with classic Kiwi hits.<br />

Said Parlane: “The last three acts of the<br />

evening at that time will be Zed, Jordan<br />

Luck [Band] and Stan Walker. Stan puts on<br />

a pretty spectacular stage show, especially<br />

with his lighting, and so does Jordan Luck,<br />

who really wants to bring it to <strong>Selwyn</strong>.”<br />

Parlane is excited for every artist who<br />

is performing, but said Jordan Luck<br />

Band and Hello Sailor will be personal<br />

highlights.<br />

“I’m particularly looking forward to<br />

9.30am – express pass gates<br />

open<br />

10am – general admission<br />

gates open<br />

10.55am – Hello Sailor<br />

12.05pm – The Chills<br />

1.15pm – Lady Killers and<br />

Annie Crummer<br />

2.15pm – Automatic 80s<br />

3.30pm – Elemeno P<br />

4.30pm – Zed<br />

5.45pm – Jordan Luck Band<br />

7.30pm - Stan Walker<br />

Jordan Luck [Band]. His show this year<br />

around the country has been exceptional<br />

. . . they [the band] said they haven’t<br />

peaked yet, they’re peaking for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sounds.<br />

“Hearing Gutter Black [by Hello Sailor]<br />

going across Lincoln Park is going to be a<br />

pretty special moment.”<br />

Parlane said <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds staff have<br />

put together a great event in spite of the<br />

challenges Covid-19 has posed.<br />

He said the event has recently secured<br />

its future and has been granted resource<br />

consent to run for the next 11 years.<br />

There are still a few tickets left for Saturday’s<br />

event and Parlane urged people not<br />

to miss out.<br />

THE DISTRICT council is<br />

stepping into the future as it<br />

plans to add two electric vehicles<br />

to its fleet by the end of the year.<br />

It is the start of leaving behind<br />

fuel-powered technology for the<br />

council as it meets its requirements<br />

under the Zero Carbon<br />

Amendment Act.<br />

The council<br />

currently has 61<br />

cars, including two<br />

hybrid vehicles. Its<br />

fleet will remain the<br />

same size, as the<br />

two electric vehicles<br />

will be replacements.<br />

It also has four more<br />

hybrid vehicles on order, also<br />

replacement vehicles, for the<br />

coming five months.<br />

The council passed a resolution<br />

at its meeting last week to add the<br />

two electric vehicles.<br />

Group manager property<br />

Douglas Marshall said the council<br />

was committed to reducing its<br />

own carbon footprint as part of<br />

its climate change policy.<br />

“When we had our carbon<br />

footprint mapped last year,<br />

transport, including contractor<br />

transport, was identified as the<br />

NEWS 7<br />

More electric<br />

vehicles to be added<br />

to council fleet<br />

Douglas<br />

Marshall<br />

biggest area of council emissions,”<br />

Marshall said.<br />

“Reducing our emissions is<br />

part of our determination to lead<br />

the change, to be the best stewards<br />

we can be for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Caring<br />

for the district’s environment<br />

and people, and making as many<br />

of our cars as is feasible electric,<br />

is one step we can take to doing<br />

this,” he said.<br />

“At this stage we’re starting<br />

with two electric vehicles. It’s<br />

inevitable with the changing<br />

technology for cars and our<br />

requirements under the Zero<br />

Carbon Amendment Act we will<br />

need to convert more of our fleet<br />

to electric, but we’re only at the<br />

start of that process.”<br />

The council was still confirming<br />

the costs for the initial electric<br />

vehicles and the set-up costs.<br />

In a report before council<br />

at the meeting, Marshall said<br />

staff would be considering what<br />

charging systems would need to<br />

be in place at either council sites<br />

or at individual staff properties.<br />

As well as the installation of<br />

charging stations, extension of<br />

the vehicle compound on the<br />

northern end of the headquarters’<br />

building would be required.<br />

Geography whizz Leah gets to<br />

compete against best in the world<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

WHEN IT comes to geography,<br />

Darfield High School student<br />

Leah Hamilton-Cross is one of<br />

the best in the country.<br />

In August, the 17-year-old,<br />

who lives in Hororata, will get<br />

her chance to compete against<br />

other top students from across<br />

the globe, at the International<br />

Geography Olympiad <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

The Olympiad is an annual<br />

competition for 16 to 19-year-old<br />

geography students, chosen to<br />

represent their countries from<br />

thousands who participate in<br />

their own national geography<br />

olympiads.<br />

After being cancelled last year<br />

with Covid-19 border closures, it<br />

was planned this year for Istanbul,<br />

Turkey.<br />

However, organisers recently<br />

decided the August event will<br />

be held online instead due to<br />

the continuing Covid-19 uncertainty.<br />

The New Zealand team of<br />

four will compete together from<br />

Wellington.<br />

Leah said while she had<br />

travelled to many places around<br />

the world with her family, she<br />

had never been to Turkey. After<br />

researching the country, she had<br />

been keen to go there.<br />

However, it had been no<br />

surprise when the event moved<br />

online. She remained just as<br />

excited about representing her<br />

country and meeting up with her<br />

teammates.<br />

Leah believed that she and her<br />

fellow three competitors had a<br />

chance of winning, which would<br />

see New Zealand named the<br />

champion of the prestigious and<br />

highly-competitive event.<br />

“It’s a lot of pressure representing<br />

New Zealand, and I hope we<br />

will do well,” the school prefect<br />

said.<br />

“I think it’s such a great opportunity,<br />

and I’m excited for where<br />

it is going to take me,” she said.<br />

She had been “super excited”<br />

when she found out she had<br />

come through the gruelling selection<br />

process, which included<br />

writing an essay and an interview,<br />

to be named in the top four<br />

in the country.<br />

Her career goal is to become<br />

a scientist or researcher in the<br />

fields of environmental management<br />

or geography.<br />

The iGeo will be a written test,<br />

a multimedia test and substantial<br />

fieldwork requiring observation,<br />

leading to cartographic<br />

representation and geographical<br />

analysis. The programme also<br />

includes poster presentations by<br />

teams.<br />

Leah said she is looking forward<br />

to being asked all sorts of<br />

questions around topics such as<br />

climate change, ocean processes,<br />

shore dynamics, earthquakes,<br />

the hydraulic cycle and society<br />

development.<br />

“I love geography,<br />

it’s<br />

my favourite<br />

subject,” she<br />

said.<br />

Leah is<br />

grateful to the<br />

community for<br />

helping her get<br />

to the Olympiad.<br />

Malvern Lions Club<br />

contributed $400 and<br />

Malvern Community<br />

Board put in $500<br />

from the Malvern Ward<br />

Discretionary Fund.<br />

NEWS<br />

Area response manager<br />

Senior Sergeant Dean<br />

Harker talks about police<br />

activity in the district<br />

THIS MONTH we will focus<br />

on hunting during the roar, and<br />

poaching.<br />

As most country will be aware<br />

the hunting period known as<br />

the roar is well underway and<br />

most hunters will be busy trying<br />

to secure a trophy stag over the<br />

next few weeks.<br />

Always remember alcohol and<br />

firearms do not mix, only consume<br />

alcohol once your hunting<br />

is over for the day and your<br />

firearms are locked away.<br />

Make sure you have advised<br />

family or friends about your<br />

hunting intentions including<br />

routes and expected return date<br />

and times. If possible, take a<br />

PLB. If you don’t have one, a<br />

number of hunting stores and<br />

sporting good shops sometimes<br />

hire them out.<br />

The most important thing<br />

is to always follow The Seven<br />

Firearms Safety Rules:<br />

• Rule 1: Treat every firearm as<br />

loaded.<br />

• Rule 2: Always point firearms<br />

in a safe direction.<br />

• Rule 3: Load a firearm only<br />

when ready to fire.<br />

• Rule 4: Identify your target<br />

beyond all doubt.<br />

• Rule 5: Check your firing<br />

zone.<br />

• Rule 6: Store firearms and<br />

ammunition safely.<br />

• Rule 7: Avoid both alcohol<br />

and drugs when handling firearms.<br />

Poaching and the police<br />

Some local farmers may<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Follow the safety rules when handling firearms<br />

Dean Harker<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Police<br />

experience poaching over the<br />

next month so here is a friendly<br />

reminder.<br />

Police have wide legislative<br />

powers available to them to<br />

counter this type of offending.<br />

A range of powers are found<br />

in the Wild Animal Control Act<br />

1977 which controls the spread<br />

of harmful wild animals and,<br />

as part of this, legislates against<br />

illegal hunting.<br />

Under the act it is an offence<br />

to hunt, kill or possess wild animals<br />

without the express authority<br />

of the owner or occupier of<br />

the relevant land. The maximum<br />

fine is up to $100,000 plus two<br />

years imprisonment.<br />

Charges can also be brought<br />

under the Forest and Rural Fire<br />

Regulations 2005 for being in<br />

an exotic forest without the required<br />

permit. An exotic forest is<br />

defined as one made up solely or<br />

mainly of non-indigenous trees.<br />

Offenders thinking about<br />

committing crime in our area<br />

should also be warned that any<br />

hunting relates to items including<br />

firearms, knives, dogs, GPS<br />

units and vehicles may be seized<br />

and forfeited.<br />

Poaching can be the catalyst for<br />

other crimes, such as damaging<br />

machinery and the theft of fuel.<br />

Police will also be alert to any<br />

attempts to steal stock.<br />

Preventing crime<br />

Security options for farmers<br />

to consider include installing<br />

CCTV or wireless alert system<br />

which can activate an alarm<br />

in your house to alert you that<br />

someone is in your shed by<br />

alarm or light sensors.<br />

These devices are highly effective<br />

and can even work in areas<br />

across some distance, where<br />

there is no cell coverage.<br />

There are also satellite GPS<br />

devices available that can be<br />

installed covertly on items such as<br />

quad bikes and other machinery<br />

which can be tracked if they get<br />

stolen. Satellite devices also do<br />

not require cell coverage to track.<br />

Crime prevention<br />

signage<br />

Two crime prevention signs are<br />

available to help deter unlawful<br />

hunters and trespassers.<br />

Both signs can be bought<br />

through Neighbourhood Support<br />

as part of a joint initiative<br />

with police.<br />

• Sign 1 – Hunters be Aware<br />

• Sign 2 – Camera Operating<br />

Both signs are printed on 4mm<br />

white aluminium composite<br />

material with a UV resistant<br />

anti-graffiti laminate. Sign size is<br />

an A3 – 297mm W x 420mm H.<br />

The estimated lifespan for<br />

these signs is 15 years.<br />

Both signs have six holes for<br />

easy installation. Price – $16.30<br />

excluding GST.<br />

To place an order, contact<br />

CHARITIES are benefiting<br />

to the tune of more than<br />

$200,000 after the success<br />

of a charity house project<br />

in Rolleston.<br />

The new Launch<br />

Foundation and Freedom<br />

Built home construction<br />

company combined their<br />

efforts on the project, while<br />

subcontractors contributed<br />

by donating labour and<br />

materials.<br />

The subcontractors were<br />

recently treated to a viewing<br />

of the recently-sold<br />

house, on Hepburn Pl in<br />

Goulds subdivision.<br />

Driver of the initiative<br />

and Launch Foundation<br />

trustee Cole Askew said<br />

the foundation wanted<br />

to help people access the<br />

resources they needed to<br />

grow and develop.<br />

“I had a great upbringing<br />

as a child, which allowed<br />

me to pursue my passions,<br />

but not everyone is that<br />

fortunate,” Askew said.<br />

Grant recipients included<br />

the Graeme Dingle<br />

Foundation, which runs<br />

programmes to build<br />

resilience and life schools<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

in pupils at decile 1 to 3<br />

schools, Pillars, which<br />

provides wrap-around<br />

services for families and<br />

whanau of prisoners, and<br />

Aviva, which provides<br />

specialist services to<br />

support children and<br />

adults to live a life free<br />

from family and sexual<br />

violence.<br />

Karen Askew of Freedom<br />

Built said the company<br />

and the foundation<br />

were already seeking<br />

offers for any qualified<br />

subcontractors who would<br />

like to contribute products<br />

or services for a second<br />

charity build.<br />

She would like to<br />

see the charity-build<br />

model replicated by<br />

other companies as new<br />

subdivisions opened.<br />

“The Rolleston<br />

community has watched<br />

and engaged with<br />

the various donating<br />

contractors, who have been<br />

able to strengthen their<br />

brand recognition (through<br />

signs on fences, and posts<br />

on social media),” Askew<br />

said.<br />

This way…<br />

Our map for the next 10 years<br />

Over the next few weeks we'll be highlighting eight big decisions<br />

we need your help with as part of the Long-Term Plan consultation.<br />

BIG DECISION 4<br />

Maintaining our roads (<strong>2021</strong>–31)<br />

Every year people travel over 520 million kilometres on our roads. In the<br />

past 10 years usage has increased over five percent each year.<br />

OUR PREFERRED OPTION<br />

Sustainability at heart<br />

of Te Ara Ātea<br />

The anchor of the new Rolleston Town Centre has been designed with sustainability at its core.<br />

Te Ara Ātea – which will house the Rolleston Library, along with other community spaces and<br />

experiences – is on track to open in November. It has an innovative design to help the building be<br />

sustainable and provide a great experience for people.<br />

Wherever possible locally sourced sustainable materials have been used in the construction and<br />

all the timber in the building has been sustainably sourced.<br />

It has also been innovatively designed to reduce energy use in lighting, heating and cooling.<br />

For heating and cooling the building has been highly insulated and designed to maximise the use<br />

of the natural conditions, along with a smart low-energy heating system with sensors that respond<br />

to the temperature of the building to avoid unnecessary energy use.<br />

The lighting combines the use of the large windows and low-energy, long-life LED lights placed to<br />

use the minimum number of lights while still providing ample brightness.<br />

These systems will be controlled by a high-tech building management system, using energy<br />

metres and other sensors to analyse what parts of the building are in use, light levels,<br />

temperature, humidity, energy consumption and weather and adjust settings such as shading,<br />

lighting, heating and cooling. It will also identify maintenance issues earlier, reducing energy use,<br />

maintenance costs and time when things are offline or services are unavailable.<br />

The building has also been designed to be flexible in the way it can be used, with the layout able<br />

to change to meet a wide variety of different activities and functions into the future, reducing the<br />

need to build further buildings.<br />

Sitting at the Tennyson Street entrance to the new town centre, the northern end of Te Ara Ātea<br />

will be surrounded by kai gardens and the sensory experience with its many gardens and trees.<br />

It is part of a design that intends to have well vegetated thresholds at each entrance to the town<br />

centre to ensure a green path into the area.<br />

Masterclass offered on getting great events going<br />

Getting great events running in <strong>Selwyn</strong> is the focus of two Council workshops in coming months,<br />

starting next week.<br />

The Council is running an Event Permitting Masterclass on Tuesday 13 <strong>April</strong> to help event organisers<br />

with the ins and outs of permits, what you might need and why.<br />

The workshop will give an overview on the process for applying for permits to run an event in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

what is needed for successful permit applications, and Council staff will be available to answer questions.<br />

It is the first of two workshops from the Council in <strong>April</strong> and May to support and encourage events in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>, Council Events and Funding Coordinator Cristene Trenuela-Chan says.<br />

“It’s to help encourage events and good events for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. The permitting masterclass helps us take<br />

the scary component out of setting up at event. It’s helping people understand both what permits they<br />

need to run an event and why they need them. It also lets you meet the people involved and helps us to<br />

support you in your event.”<br />

It will be followed by the Get Set Go workshop at the end of May for people who have an idea for an<br />

event and want to learn about how to get started with the basics of planning and running it.<br />

“We know there are people out there with great ideas that can bring some fun, build community, and be<br />

a part of making <strong>Selwyn</strong> a good place to live. We want to encourage that and help people run the best<br />

event possible for everyone coming along.”<br />

ON THE<br />

ROADS<br />

On the Roads<br />

Pavement repairs are taking place on Days Road between Ellesmere Junction Road and<br />

Collins Road, and on Wards Road between Kerrs Road and Sandy Knowles Road. Traffic<br />

management is in place for these works.<br />

Increase general rate-funded maintenance above the level funded<br />

by NZTA<br />

This option means a higher level of funding by ratepayers. This would<br />

let us do additional work to lower the risk of our roads deteriorating<br />

further and needing even more costly repairs at a later stage.<br />

Cost<br />

$1 million per year additional<br />

Impact on rates<br />

Rates would increase based on property’s value. For a property with<br />

capital value of $550,000 this is estimated at $30 a year.<br />

OTHER OPTION Fund maintenance at the level supported by NZTA<br />

Under this option no additional maintenance funding would be<br />

provided above what NZTA provides. This option would have no<br />

additional cost or impact on rates or debt.<br />

BIG DECISION 3<br />

Developing a new wastewater system in Darfield and<br />

Kirwee (<strong>2021</strong>–2026)<br />

Following consultation in 2019 and 2020, we’ve agreed to develop<br />

a reticulated scheme in Darfield and Kirwee. We are now asking for<br />

feedback on our proposals for how it is to be developed and funded.<br />

OUR PREFERRED OPTION<br />

Connect to the Pines wastewater treatment plant in Rolleston<br />

This would provide connections for central Darfield and growth<br />

areas of Darfield and Kirwee, and capacity for the existing<br />

residential properties over time. This option provides the best<br />

environmental and public health benefits, and will better provide for<br />

ongoing population growth.<br />

Cost<br />

$38 million (Note: This will initially be funded by borrowing and by a<br />

one-off Government stimulus grant of $10 million – which reduces<br />

the cost per house by about $5,000.)<br />

Impact on rates<br />

A. For existing properties<br />

A share of the cost of the capital<br />

works, plus connection to the<br />

treatment plant<br />

Property owner’s own cost<br />

to connect their property to<br />

the scheme.<br />

Approximately $17,360 in<br />

2025/26 (loan rate of $751<br />

per year)<br />

Approximately $5,000 for<br />

most properties; $20,000 for<br />

some properties set further<br />

back from road<br />

B. For new properties<br />

Land developers in Darfield and Kirwee will be able to connect to<br />

the new scheme by paying a development contribution.<br />

OTHER OPTION Status quo – keep septic tanks<br />

Under this option property owners would meet the cost of any new<br />

septic tank, plus operating and maintenance costs.<br />

Readers respond to<br />

last week’s <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> article about<br />

zoning plan changes<br />

I see that a developer<br />

wishes to develop a subdivision<br />

outside what is<br />

known as the Rolleston<br />

Zone and opposite the<br />

current sewage plant and<br />

rubbish centre.<br />

I will be willing to bet<br />

that in their submission,<br />

there will be the usual<br />

promises to ensure that<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

the development will<br />

not be affected by those<br />

established facilities and<br />

all remedial measures will<br />

be in place.<br />

Then in the future when<br />

people start to complain,<br />

the council will be asked<br />

to move and/or provide<br />

expensive remedial measures<br />

to ensure that the<br />

now residents can have<br />

the trouble-free lifestyle<br />

that the developers had<br />

promised.<br />

Time to say no and tell<br />

the developers to move<br />

on. Develop what is inside<br />

the proposed sequential<br />

development scheme as set<br />

out. – Gary Doyle<br />

How can they possibly<br />

be considering a new<br />

subdivision in Lincoln of<br />

2500 new houses when<br />

there is not enough water<br />

currently to go around?<br />

I think new builds<br />

should be required to have<br />

a rainwater collection<br />

tank, this would make<br />

a huge difference to<br />

demand. – Anna Leslie<br />

THE COTTON tipworm<br />

moth (crocidosema<br />

plebejana) appears to be<br />

first recorded in New<br />

Zealand around the 1980s,<br />

but the species now seems<br />

well dispersed around the<br />

country.<br />

It is also found in Europe,<br />

the US, North America,<br />

Australia, India and South<br />

Africa.<br />

The forewing length<br />

of the moth varies from<br />

5.3mm to 8.5mm, and<br />

colours vary with sex.<br />

Males are dark brown<br />

to black with an obvious<br />

white dorsal patch, whereas<br />

females are lighter brown<br />

to tan with a dark basal<br />

patch.<br />

The larvae feed on a large<br />

range of species including<br />

several types of mallow,<br />

cotton, pumpkin, okra,<br />

eucalyptus, wheat, corn,<br />

hollyhock and hawthorn.<br />

Females lay eggs singly on<br />

both upper and lower leaf<br />

surfaces, laterals and buds.<br />

Smaller larvae forage<br />

on leaves under webbing.<br />

Fully-grown larvae can<br />

reach 10mm long and vary<br />

greatly from whitish to<br />

dark red-brown in colour.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Robertson lifts lid on coaching future<br />

• By Christopher Reive<br />

CRUSADERS COACH Scott<br />

Robertson has made it clear<br />

where he stands in discussions<br />

around re-signing with New<br />

Zealand Rugby, amid talk of<br />

other nations having him in<br />

their sights.<br />

Robertson, who is open about<br />

his ambitions to coach at the<br />

highest level, has been linked to<br />

several coaching roles overseas,<br />

most recently as a potential<br />

successor to Eddie Jones at the<br />

helm of the English squad.<br />

The 46-year-old is off contract<br />

with NZR and the end of the<br />

year and, in discussions with<br />

the organisation about the<br />

future, Robertson and his agent<br />

Warren Alcock wanted some<br />

answers around both career<br />

opportunities as well as whether<br />

or not the Silver Lake deal will<br />

go ahead.<br />

“The next couple of days is<br />

pretty big around the Silver Lake<br />

deal. We are getting close, but<br />

the Silver Lake deal is a pretty<br />

important part of re-signing,”<br />

Robertson said on Wednesday.<br />

“Like I’ve said before, with<br />

the agent, he’s a pretty patient<br />

type, it’s a long game for him just<br />

around what’s happening with<br />

New Zealand Rugby, just making<br />

sure the timing is right.”<br />

NZR is in the process of<br />

UNCERTAIN: Scott Robertson has been linked to coaching roles overseas. PHOTO: GETTY<br />

working towards a $465m deal<br />

with the American technology<br />

investment company that<br />

would see them sell a 15 per<br />

cent stake in their commercial<br />

rights to Silver Lake. While the<br />

New Zealand Rugby Players’<br />

Association has come out in<br />

opposition of the sale, NZR chief<br />

executive Mark Robinson was<br />

confident a “transformational”<br />

deal would get the backing of key<br />

stakeholders.<br />

When pressed on exactly<br />

why the Silver Lake deal added<br />

to calculations, Robertson<br />

said: “Just see what it [the deal]<br />

means, if it is or isn’t [accepted],<br />

and what does it look like on<br />

the side of that with the next All<br />

Blacks role coming up?”<br />

Although Robertson missed<br />

out on the All Blacks head<br />

coaching role in late 2019 to Ian<br />

Foster, many have tipped him as<br />

an All Blacks coach of the future.<br />

However, now in his fifth year as<br />

the head coach of Crusaders and<br />

with four Super Rugby titles in<br />

as many campaigns at the helm<br />

of the team, Robertson is wary of<br />

making the right decision for his<br />

family and his career.<br />

“It’s pretty clear; if I sign a<br />

couple more years, I’ll have done<br />

the Crusaders for seven years –<br />

which I love doing – but what<br />

does it mean for the next step<br />

after that? How does that line up<br />

around the 2023 World Cup if<br />

this coaching group stays on? So,<br />

there’s a lot of things going on; a<br />

lot of answers to come back.<br />

“I’ve been really patient here.<br />

I’ve been coming down to Rugby<br />

Park since 2008 in some role as a<br />

coach. We’ve got a great lifestyle,<br />

but I’m also ambitious career<br />

coach.<br />

“So, for me to have the<br />

opportunity, if it’s here or<br />

elsewhere, you always keep<br />

looking at those opportunities.”<br />

Robertson has already received<br />

a glowing reference from Sir<br />

Clive Woodward in relation to<br />

the top job in England, should it<br />

become available.<br />

The former English captain<br />

told Newstalk ZB’s Martin<br />

Devlin that he would love to play<br />

for Robertson.<br />

“This guy Robertson I don’t<br />

know, but crikey I just get a<br />

really good feeling about him,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Clearly, he’s a winner, he’s<br />

successful, he’s very good with<br />

people. Would I like to play for<br />

him? Yes, without even knowing<br />

him, just from seeing the way his<br />

team plays.<br />

“That would be really<br />

interesting on so many fronts.”<br />

Reminders of Targeted<br />

Stream Augmentation aims<br />

A passionate ecologist gave members<br />

of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Water Zone<br />

Committee a reminder of their role<br />

in overseeing the Targeted Stream<br />

Augmentation Project.<br />

Environment Canterbury’s Brett<br />

Painter described the story of the<br />

Targeted Stream Augmentation Project<br />

including the project’s connection to the<br />

collaborative nature of the Canterbury<br />

Water Management Strategy and the role<br />

of the zone committee.<br />

Dr Painter described how the first<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Zone Committee were<br />

clear in their Zone Implementation<br />

Programme Addendum (ZIPA) and<br />

in using managed aquifer recharge or<br />

targeted stream augmentation to help<br />

increase base flows in lowland streams.<br />

He said that committee “was also<br />

clear in the view that projects must<br />

be for the wider good”. The Zone<br />

Implementation Plan Amendment (ZIPA)<br />

recommendation for regional planning<br />

was written to ensure that these options<br />

would be possible in the future, he said.<br />

Dr Painter described the different<br />

investigations and trials that had started<br />

and what their environmental goals have<br />

been. Zone committee minutes say it was<br />

“agreed Dr Painter would bring more<br />

information to the committee regarding<br />

monitoring being undertaken, to ensure<br />

there were no adverse effects from the<br />

project”.<br />

The committee “briefly discussed their<br />

governance role with the project”. Dr<br />

Painter explained that the committee’s<br />

role over time has been to explore the<br />

ideas of managed aquifer recharge and<br />

targeted stream augmentation, write the<br />

ZIPA to enable trials of these types of<br />

projects, receive updates and guide the<br />

project during construction phase and<br />

sign off the governance group regular<br />

reports.<br />

The committee was also charged<br />

with receiving final technical reports,<br />

attending blessing or opening ceremonies,<br />

joining planting days and communicating<br />

the project to the public<br />

In a 2018 paper, Protection of<br />

groundwater dependent ecosystems in<br />

Canterbury, New Zealand: the Targeted<br />

Stream Augmentation Project, Dr Painter<br />

said the region’s native aquatic species<br />

habitat has significantly declined over the<br />

last century, mainly because of land use<br />

change and climatic influences.<br />

In <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora, “the semi-arid<br />

climate, significant demand for irrigation<br />

water and the up-gradient aquifer<br />

pressure provided by a coastal lake<br />

provide significant aquifer management<br />

challenges in this zone.” In response, the<br />

local CWMS committee recommended<br />

that managed aquifer recharge trials<br />

to improve groundwater dependent<br />

ecosystems start in a highly targeted<br />

manner before gradually increasing the<br />

distance from recharge site to the target<br />

spring/s.<br />

A highly targeted pilot trial showed<br />

that the flow, temperature and nutrient<br />

concentration benefits for the target<br />

surface ecosystem. Lessons learned to<br />

that point include the importance of<br />

keeping engagement processes ahead of<br />

technical assessments. High-level scoping<br />

assessments should also be done before<br />

the start of detailed investigations and<br />

pilot projects, Dr Painter wrote.<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Water management<br />

ties grow stronger<br />

A <strong>Selwyn</strong> water management group has<br />

signed up to an urban water charter.<br />

Community Waterways Partnership is<br />

an agreement to improve the ecological<br />

health, biodiversity, and recreational value<br />

Christchurch’s waterways.<br />

In notes to the charter announcement,<br />

Environment Canterbury says urban<br />

water quality varies considerably across<br />

and within catchments and monitoring<br />

identifies the areas that need to be<br />

improved.<br />

“Municipal stormwater treatment<br />

infrastructure alone will not address this<br />

water quality problem, especially in the<br />

older part of the city where it is lacking.<br />

Therefore, it also needs communities<br />

to actively prevent pollution in the<br />

first place. Achieving this will require<br />

communities to be aware of both the<br />

issues and the actions that they can<br />

undertake.”<br />

Environment Canterbury Chair Jenny<br />

Hughey said the charter complimented<br />

work already being done by councils and<br />

community groups. “This partnership will<br />

take it to the next level and is a significant<br />

step towards improving water quality. We<br />

are looking forward to creating a strong<br />

partnership between community groups,<br />

businesses, researchers, and local and<br />

central government,” she said.<br />

A signing event for the charter was<br />

attended by a variety of community<br />

participants as well as signatories<br />

from Christchurch West Melton Water<br />

Zone Committee, Christchurch City<br />

Council, University of Canterbury,<br />

the Department of Conservation, and<br />

numerous community groups, schools<br />

and businesses.<br />

Kevin Brown, chair of the Christchurch<br />

West Melton Water Zone Committee,<br />

said “it’s a no-brainer that we need to give<br />

them some serious attention” and he was<br />

encouraged by charter members’ show of<br />

commitment and collaboration.<br />

“Sharing ideas and collaborating<br />

is a key aspect of the Charter and<br />

the Christchurch West Melton Zone<br />

Committee is pleased to be able to provide<br />

a platform where groups with an interest<br />

in water management can have their<br />

voices heard. By encouraging awareness,<br />

and long-term behaviour change, I think<br />

some really positive outcomes can come<br />

from this,” he said.<br />

In October 2018 the Christchurch West<br />

Melton Zone Committee organised a<br />

workshop with representatives of local<br />

government including the city council,<br />

Ngāi Tahu, universities and community<br />

groups. The workshop was aimed at<br />

creating a community agreement to<br />

improve urban stormwater and waterway<br />

health in Christchurch. The meeting gave<br />

impetus to the Community Waterways<br />

Partnership Charter.<br />

The regional council expects the charter<br />

to gain momentum as more projects<br />

are identified and more groups and<br />

organisations have the chance to sign up<br />

to the partnership.<br />

The work of the Christchurch West<br />

Melton Water Zone Committee is tied<br />

to the establishment of the Canterbury<br />

Water Management Strategy (CWMS) in<br />

2009. The CWMS sets a framework for<br />

a collaborative approach to managing<br />

freshwater in Canterbury and the<br />

Christchurch West Melton Water Zone<br />

Committee and Banks Peninsula Zone<br />

Committee implement the CWMS<br />

strategy in the city area.<br />

Perfect time to pop in some colour<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

AUTUMN IS the perfect time to<br />

pop some pretty colour into your<br />

garden.<br />

Flowers like polyanthus,<br />

primula and viola can easily revitalise<br />

a weary garden, and thrive in<br />

the cooler months. And planting<br />

them now, before the temperature<br />

drops, gives them time to really<br />

get established, bringing you a<br />

prolonged blooming season.<br />

Polyanthus, primula and viola<br />

are easy to grow and flourish in<br />

garden beds, as borders, or in<br />

pots. Polyanthus and voila are<br />

petite blooms (about 10-15cm<br />

high), while primula has a bit<br />

more height (30cm) – ideal for<br />

planting in behind smaller plants,<br />

for a fuller garden effect.<br />

Primula comes in several<br />

shades of pink, red, white and<br />

mixed. It’s a dainty flower, and<br />

when picked makes a cute winter<br />

posy arrangement for your<br />

kitchen. Primula also copes well<br />

growing in the shade.<br />

If you’re not into the primula<br />

pinks, violas have a bolder look<br />

and come in range of blues, yellows<br />

and oranges. To really make<br />

these colours pop, when planting<br />

try thinking about your complementary<br />

colours – if you’ve got a<br />

terracotta orange pot, try planting<br />

blue blooms. Alternatively, if<br />

your pot (or house colour) is blue,<br />

VIVID: Primula lavender is a dainty flower, also available in many other colours. Polanthus<br />

look pretty in a pot on a table.<br />

try the citrus or orange violas,<br />

to really make them stand out.<br />

Purple and yellow flowers will<br />

also complement each other, and<br />

really stand out in a pot together.<br />

Polyanthus has a smaller bloom<br />

(framed by its leaves) appearance.<br />

There are blue, red, pink, white<br />

and yellow polyanthus – so you’re<br />

bound to find something you like.<br />

They look pretty in a pot on a<br />

table, and you’ll often see polyanthus<br />

in perfectly planted borders<br />

at public gardens.<br />

When getting ready to plant<br />

your seedlings, choose a spot that<br />

receives some sun, and has good<br />

drainage. If your garden is looking<br />

a bit tired after summer, turn<br />

over the soil, and dig through<br />

some organic compost or fertiliser.<br />

Once this is done, dig holes for<br />

your flowers, 10-20cm apart. You<br />

want the holes to be large enough<br />

so the roots of the seedlings don’t<br />

get squashed. Place the seedlings<br />

in, and press soil firmly down<br />

around it.<br />

Your plants will benefit from a<br />

good initial watering, and adding<br />

a layer of mulch around them.<br />

This will help retain moisture,<br />

soften the frost, and repel the<br />

weeds.<br />

If you’ve flower seedlings left<br />

over, an old favourite of mine is<br />

to pack them into a low hanging<br />

basket. Pop your primula, polyanthus<br />

or violas in, and add some<br />

lobelia to really soften the sides.<br />

And, as we leave summer behind,<br />

I also like that baskets aren’t so<br />

labour intensive with minimal<br />

watering required.<br />

In six to eight weeks, you’ll start<br />

to see colour popping through,<br />

all set for your coming cooler<br />

months. And remember – as with<br />

most flowers – to pick the off the<br />

deadheads to encourage more to<br />

bloom.<br />

THE COOLER temperatures of<br />

autumn have arrived, and so too<br />

has the beautiful colourful display<br />

of leaves on deciduous trees.<br />

It’s another busy month in the<br />

garden as we prepare our gardens<br />

for the colder winter months.<br />

Planting winter vege<br />

seedlings<br />

<strong>April</strong> is the favoured month for<br />

planting winter vegetable seedlings.<br />

Add fresh compost to the<br />

vege plot before planting broad<br />

beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,<br />

lettuce, onions, peas, radish,<br />

spinach, swedes and turnips.<br />

It’s a good idea to stagger your<br />

plantings (called succession planting)<br />

every two to three weeks so<br />

you have a continuous harvest<br />

throughout winter.<br />

If temperatures are dropping at<br />

night, put jars or plastic bottles<br />

over seedlings to protect them<br />

against early frosts – this also<br />

helps keep snails and slugs at bay.<br />

Remember to remove any covers<br />

in the morning.<br />

Growing winter veges in<br />

containers<br />

If you are short on space in the<br />

garden, grow your veges in containers<br />

and/or pots. Try silverbeet,<br />

spinach, broccoli, peas and winter<br />

lettuce. Use fresh potting mix and<br />

make sure your pots/containers<br />

have good drainage holes. Place<br />

them in a warm sunny, north<br />

facing, position, away from strong<br />

winds. Add a layer of mulch on<br />

top to protect the soil.<br />

Planting flowering winter<br />

annuals<br />

Summer flowering annuals are<br />

just about finished. Remove old<br />

plants into the compost bin and if<br />

you haven’t already, prepare beds<br />

for planting with fresh compost.<br />

Winter annuals to plant in this<br />

month include; alyssum, aquilegia,<br />

calendulas, cineraria, cornflower,<br />

lobelia, lupins, nemesia,<br />

pansies, primulas, snapdragons,<br />

status, stock, sweet pea, sweet william,<br />

violas and wallflowers.<br />

Plant up pots and containers<br />

for colourful displays on decks<br />

and balconies – they will provide<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

a real lift over the dreary, cold<br />

winter months.<br />

Preparing the strawberry<br />

patch<br />

May is the preferred time for<br />

planting strawberries so use this<br />

month to prepare your strawberry<br />

patch for planting. Prepare the<br />

soil and mound areas for planting<br />

above the existing ground level,<br />

adding fresh compost and compacting<br />

the soil. Remove ‘runners’<br />

from last seasons strawberry<br />

plants and keep them in a large<br />

container filled with fresh potting<br />

mix until they are planted next<br />

month.<br />

Fruit tree harvesting<br />

Feijoas and early kiwifruit are<br />

ripening. Leave feijoas to fall to<br />

the ground before collecting the<br />

fruit. All stone fruit trees can be<br />

given an end-of-season spray with<br />

a copper compound towards the<br />

end of <strong>April</strong>. Peach and nectarine<br />

tree pruning can start as their leaf<br />

fall has begun. Lemons will be<br />

colouring later in the month and<br />

can be harvested then.<br />

Ornamental shrubs<br />

The first of the winter flowering<br />

shrubs such as camelias will begin<br />

blooming. Garden centres will<br />

have new season plants in stock<br />

next month, so prepare new gardens<br />

for planting now by adding<br />

plenty of compost.<br />

End of the rose growing<br />

season<br />

Just a few rose varieties such<br />

as iceberg will be flowering into<br />

May. In general, roses are near the<br />

end of their growing season and<br />

sadly, look their least attractive.<br />

MAINTENANCE:<br />

Snip off<br />

strawberry<br />

runners ready for<br />

planting in May.<br />

Although it may be tempting to<br />

start pruning, it’s still a little early<br />

as a warm spell can bring about a<br />

burst of new growth which could<br />

then be damaged by frosts. Continue<br />

good garden hygiene such<br />

as removing all fallen leaves and<br />

dead flowers to help prevent overwintering<br />

fungal diseases like rust<br />

and blackspot.<br />

Last month for lawn care<br />

A great month for tackling<br />

major work renovating existing<br />

lawns or laying a new one. It<br />

may sound a bit repetitive, but<br />

preparation really is the key to<br />

success in growing a healthy<br />

lawn. With new lawns (or even<br />

lawn repair), only import clean,<br />

top quality topsoil or lawn soil.<br />

Always seek advice about the<br />

best lawn type for your<br />

property. For existing lawns,<br />

apply lawn fertiliser in early<br />

<strong>April</strong> to encourage strong, even<br />

growth.<br />

In the Garden<br />

with iNtelligro<br />

Winter gardens start in autumn, so get those<br />

veggies in ready for harvesting through winter.<br />

Lawn maintenance is near the top of the list, both<br />

Fertilise on an overcast day, preferably with rain<br />

on the forecast. New lawns can be sown now too.<br />

Huge load space in Hyundai Santa Fe<br />

MY SON recently purchased<br />

a new television, a giant 65in<br />

model.<br />

The key question I asked<br />

the salesperson at the time of<br />

purchase was: “Would I be able<br />

to transport it home in a sport<br />

utility vehicle?’’ He answered yes,<br />

if it was a big wagon.<br />

Well, I was driving one of the<br />

biggest mainstream SUVs in the<br />

market – Hyundai’s new Santa<br />

Fe – and although it was a bit of a<br />

squeeze we did manage to get the<br />

new TV home.<br />

That’s one of the benefits of<br />

the modern SUV concept, they<br />

are adaptable with a multitude<br />

of uses, and the new Santa Fe<br />

Limited with its 2.2-litre diesel<br />

engine is a class act. Well, I guess<br />

it needs to be, at almost $90k it is<br />

an SUV that commands a serious<br />

financial outlay.<br />

Of course, there are other model<br />

options – seven variants make<br />

up the new range which starts at<br />

$62,990 for a 2.5-litre four-cylinder<br />

petrol model, and there’s also<br />

a V6 petrol in the line-up.<br />

The new Santa Fe is exactly<br />

that, it is an all-new shape and<br />

sits on an all-new platform, what’s<br />

more it gets a new diesel engine,<br />

and while the cubic capacity is<br />

much the same as the previous<br />

generation model, it’s an allaluminium<br />

unit which is smooth,<br />

quieter, more powerful and efficient<br />

than before.<br />

CAPABLE: Up to 1625-litres of cargo can be transported<br />

beneath the Santa Fe’s tailgate.<br />

HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED: Plush, luxury SUV with a choice of engines.<br />

The Limited model gets the<br />

new diesel, although, as mentioned,<br />

you can get it with petrol<br />

power as well, but the V6 Limited<br />

doesn’t have drive to all four<br />

wheels.<br />

That aside, the four-cylinder<br />

turbocharged diesel is rated at<br />

148kW (3800rpm) with 440Nm<br />

of torque available from 1750rpm<br />

to 2750rpm.<br />

Not only are these outputs<br />

impressive in terms of flexibility<br />

and outright grunt, it is one of<br />

the smoothest oil burners you are<br />

ever likely to find in a vehicle of<br />

this type.<br />

It is hooked to a recently-developed<br />

eight-speed dual clutch automatic<br />

transmission, something<br />

that is shared with Hyundai’s<br />

partnership with Kia. Interaction<br />

between the engine and gearbox<br />

is smooth and seamless, and the<br />

gear ratios are structured so that<br />

they work efficiently with the<br />

engine’s power and torque bands,<br />

especially so the mid-range rev<br />

spread.<br />

In this form, the Santa Fe is relatively<br />

quick for a vehicle which<br />

weighs in at almost two-tonne.<br />

According to my stopwatch it will<br />

make 100km/h from a standstill<br />

in under 9sec.<br />

As you would expect in the<br />

new-age SUV, the Santa Fe<br />

is fitted with the latest drive<br />

technologies, it has all-corner<br />

propulsion which can be activated<br />

by the driver at the turn of<br />

a dial through a complex series of<br />

modes and functions. Because of<br />

the driveline mechanicals there is<br />

a lot of suspension complexity.<br />

Mostly, though, there is feel<br />

and grip that the driver can use<br />

with confidence and reassurance.<br />

The ride is also quiet, and a lot<br />

of that has to do with the quality<br />

of the tyres – the big Continental<br />

rubber (255/45 x 20in) has a firm<br />

road feel and transports messages<br />

to the steering wheel in a solid,<br />

communicative way.<br />

The Santa Fe is a fine touring<br />

vehicle, and after years of development<br />

the ride/handling balance<br />

is as good as you would get in any<br />

SUV, least of all one that sits in<br />

the large luxury segment.<br />

I presented the evaluation<br />

car with a tight set of corners<br />

between Darfield and Burnham,<br />

the Santa Fe leans a little bit, but<br />

such are the spring and damper<br />

rates body movement isn’t excessive<br />

and the occupants shouldn’t<br />

be disappointed with the in-cabin<br />

comfort levels.<br />

Add in a vehicle that weighs in<br />

at around 1900kg, there is a lot<br />

of vehicle to get through a tight<br />

corner, yet it does so with dignity<br />

and purpose.<br />

That’s one of the reasons why<br />

SUVs have become so popular,<br />

they perform admirably and,<br />

in the Santa Fe’s case, it is also a<br />

plush luxury car which impresses<br />

• Price – Hyundai Santa Fe<br />

Limited, $89,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4785mm; width, 1900mm;<br />

height, 1710mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2151cc, 148kW, 440Nm,<br />

eight-speed automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.9sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km<br />

with its refinement.<br />

Major items of specification include<br />

full leather trim with electrically<br />

adjustable seats up front<br />

(also heated). There is head-up<br />

display, paddle-shift gear selectors<br />

and new display graphics which<br />

change face when the indicator<br />

stalk is activated, side views of the<br />

vehicle give the driver clear vision<br />

of what is happening outside.<br />

Also, it must be mentioned the<br />

Limited model also gets remote<br />

starting and movement, should<br />

the driver’s door be hard to access,<br />

such as a tight car park, the<br />

vehicle can be driven forward or<br />

reversed using the remote key.<br />

Hyundai has upped the ante in<br />

terms of fuel use. The Santa Fe<br />

returned some interesting fuel usage<br />

information during my time<br />

with the test car. At 100km/h<br />

in top gear the big diesel sips<br />

fuel instantaneously at around<br />

4.5-litres per 100km, turning over<br />

at just 1600rpm. A test average of<br />

7l/100km is respectable for vehicle<br />

weight, and compares well to<br />

Hyundai’s combined cycle claim<br />

of 6.1l/100km.<br />

Although the television wasn’t<br />

heavy, it was bulky and claimed a<br />

fair hunk of space made easy by<br />

the clever seat folding system. In<br />

terms of figures, the load area can<br />

claim up to 547-litres, 1625-litres<br />

with the rear second row of seats<br />

folded. Yes, the Santa Fe is a useful<br />

seven-seater.<br />

I was scheduled into Hyundai’s<br />

new Santa Fe just before Christmas,<br />

however, a shipping mix-up<br />

meant it wasn’t dispatched to<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Fast forward two months and<br />

the range-topping Limited arrived.<br />

The wait was really worth<br />

it, it’s sophistication speaks<br />

volumes, the Santa Fe is a model<br />

that sits on the outer periphery<br />

of the luxury wagon market, yet<br />

it competes admirably with all of<br />

the big names.<br />

However, its biggest competition<br />

will come from Kia’s new<br />

Sorento; the two South Korean<br />

companies are partners, yet battle<br />

each other fiercely, especially in<br />

terms of pricing.<br />

The new Sorento, with a similar<br />

driveline, has an advantage<br />

there, how it all plays out in<br />

the marketplace will be very<br />

interesting to watch.<br />

Choices, Options and Opportunities<br />

We are so excited to share with you this modern, builders<br />

own home and lifestyle property presently offering not<br />

just the opportunity to enjoy the stylishly renovated and<br />

extended home on 6.29 acres with 3 stables, tack room, 2<br />

bay haybarn (with mezzanine for storage) but could allow<br />

potential for subdivision in the future. All this so close to<br />

Prebbleton and only 10 minutes to the city - how’s that<br />

for a total package!<br />

But the appeal is far greater than just the potential. You’ll<br />

quickly discover a fabulous backdrop for entertaining<br />

thanks to the elegant kitchen and the generous living<br />

spaces which open out to the patio. Here you are nestled<br />

in the manicured garden for outdoor dining with access<br />

to the cosy alcove space for the spa. Living enjoys a log<br />

fire (with heat transfer) and heat pump while all four<br />

bedrooms are genuine doubles. A separate laundry and<br />

storage room complete the picture.<br />

Thanks to crisp paintwork, quality carpet and rich solid NZ<br />

oak wood flooring, internal décor is fresh and ready for<br />

your personality, while outside the contemporary feel is<br />

continued with a plaster finish.<br />

The numerous outbuildings offer so many uses; work<br />

from home (3 phase power to the pump shed), a home for<br />

your horses or simply perfect storage.<br />

471 Springs Road – Prebbleton<br />

This property is a rarity with so many options you could live<br />

and enjoy, land bank for the future or make a home for your<br />

lifestyle!<br />

It is a must view.<br />

Deadline Sale: Plus GST (if any).<br />

All offers presented Wednesday, 14th <strong>April</strong> at 4pm<br />

(unless sold prior).<br />

Fix those<br />

minor defects<br />

Start out front, cleaning, clearing and<br />

decluttering the yard to make a good<br />

impression on buyers.<br />

It’s a rare house that doesn’t have defects.<br />

Even newly renovated ones can have<br />

features that detract for buyers. But there<br />

are ways for sellers to deflect attention<br />

from them without pretending they’re not<br />

there. The three main ways of dealing with<br />

defects are:<br />

1. Fix them.<br />

2. Draw the eye away from them.<br />

3. Use them as a selling point.<br />

Simple defects can be fixed easily. Start<br />

out front. Overgrown bushes can be<br />

trimmed, or replaced with a few matching<br />

plants, old fences and front doors can be<br />

painted or stained, and the paths cleaned.<br />

Do this even if a property is a do-up.<br />

You want to give the impression that<br />

buyers can move into the house and chip<br />

away at the work in their own time<br />

If you have time and money, paint sills<br />

and eaves using accents.<br />

Inside, the first thing buyers see is the<br />

hallway, which can be brightened up with<br />

a lick of paint. The neutral paint trick can<br />

also be used to paint over dated wallpaper,<br />

completely changing the look and feel of a<br />

tired house.<br />

Bathrooms and kitchens are important to<br />

buyers, and the eye settles on vanities and<br />

benches. These can be resurfaced relatively<br />

quickly to give a modern look.<br />

If the seller can’t repaint or tile the<br />

bathroom bring in high quality matching<br />

towels, which become a feature in the<br />

room and draw the eye from the less than<br />

desirable walls and features. Nice vases and<br />

flowers will do the same.<br />

Replacing handles and knobs to draw<br />

attention away from the units themselves.<br />

This reduces the number of “I have to do<br />

this” thoughts in potential buyers’ minds.<br />

Drawing the eye away from a multitude<br />

of sins is exactly the thing to do.<br />

If you see an empty house the eye always<br />

goes to marks on the carpet and walls and<br />

this will lower the price expectation.”<br />

Drawing the eye to the furniture and<br />

furnishings, creates better flow, and de<br />

cluttering makes buyers feel the home<br />

would be a nice place to live in.<br />

The other way to handle the property’s<br />

defects is to raise them with the buyer<br />

before they see them.<br />

If the carpet is bad, for example, you<br />

can say: “Hey, they were going to replace<br />

the carpet but they decided to leave it to<br />

you to choose a new carpet and priced it<br />

accordingly.”<br />

Finally, good old fashioned elbow grease<br />

is essential in all properties to remove<br />

those sins that are simply cleanable.<br />

WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED REAA 2008<br />

Anyone intending to build a new home<br />

should have the builder’s contract checked<br />

out by an experienced lawyer.<br />

A payment schedule can also minimise<br />

financial risks. Issues that you may have to<br />

deal with include:<br />

the deposit, guarantees and warranties<br />

If you want to compare building<br />

companies, it’s important to get down<br />

to finer details such as how many power<br />

points there are per room, the type of<br />

windows you are having or which paint<br />

finishes are included.<br />

Questions to ask builders include:<br />

• Do you have a<br />

completion guarantee<br />

and how does it work?<br />

• Is there a loss of<br />

deposit guarantee?<br />

• Is the company a<br />

Registered Master<br />

Builder and does<br />

it use third-party<br />

written guarantees?<br />

• What is the schedule<br />

for payments?<br />

• How are the deposit<br />

and progress<br />

payments<br />

administered?<br />

• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust fund?<br />

• Will the master franchisor complete<br />

the build if the franchisee goes out of<br />

business<br />

• What are the exact specs?<br />

• Are the prices fixed?<br />

• What is excluded from the build?<br />

• Are there any restrictions on<br />

driveways or any other connections?<br />

• Can you speak with clients who have<br />

just completed a build?<br />

Do your homework before you decide on a<br />

building company and you will have a less<br />

stressful time once the building process<br />

starts.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Hot real estate market dictates<br />

buyers be smart and aware<br />

Tall<br />

Poppy<br />

Owner,<br />

Michael<br />

Seymour<br />

We’re heard it all before: <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s the fastest growing<br />

area, it’s never been a better time to buy and well,<br />

etcetera, etcetera. But here are some real stats that<br />

Michael Seymour, owner of Tall Poppy Real Estate,<br />

was keen to talk about. Stock levels are down<br />

44% on last year. Average expected sale price has<br />

increased by 23% to $750,000, and property is selling<br />

25 days quicker in an average of just 41 days. In<br />

short, the few houses available for sale are selling<br />

fast and at higher prices.<br />

In 2020 the market was a little blasé, but right<br />

now—the market is hot. Three bedrooms/two<br />

bathrooms houses are still in high demand and<br />

most buyers are coming from Christchurch<br />

City following the national trend of rising<br />

property prices, flexible working conditions<br />

and less need to be central to the city. It’s<br />

also getting much harder to find a slice of<br />

land to build on.<br />

Be smart and do your research<br />

Michael says with so many buyers<br />

out there it can be deflating. People are<br />

anxious and everyone is bidding on<br />

everything. His advice to buyers is to<br />

see every single listing in your area.<br />

Be smart—have daily alerts set up for<br />

Trade Me and other real estate sites<br />

and when they come through, enquire<br />

immediately. And to sellers, do your research. Go to<br />

as many open homes as you can. See the different<br />

styles and standards of the agents out there and<br />

look for someone with a personality that you’re<br />

comfortable with. A good track record of past<br />

sales numbers isn’t the only indicator of the best<br />

person to work with.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s tall poppy<br />

Helen Lee came to <strong>Selwyn</strong> from the UK and has<br />

been living in the area for fourteen years. She loves<br />

our community, and the many residents she meets<br />

who are on their own real estate journey.<br />

With a background in banking and<br />

stockbroking, Helen is comfortable with<br />

financial assets and negotiating for the<br />

best result; she’s professional and an<br />

expert in the local area. Helen recently<br />

won the Rate My Agent, Agent of the<br />

Year Award for the suburb of Lincoln<br />

and was also #89 in the Agent of<br />

the Year Awards for New Zealand.<br />

Something to be proud of, especially<br />

when they were based on client<br />

feedback.<br />
