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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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

stockbroking, Helen is comfortable with<br />
financial assets and negotiating for the<br />
best result; she’s professional and an<br />
