Still fighting fires after
50 years – ‘it’s not about me’
• By Susan Sandys
MANY CALL-OUTS for
small-town fire brigades
are to assist friends and
acquaintances, says Coalgate
Volunteer Fire Brigade chief
Phillip Shaw.
“There’s a lot of call-outs that
are usually memorable for the
wrong reasons,” Shaw said.
Shaw has been recognised for
his service to the brigade, being
awarded the double gold star
recognising 50 years service, at
an awards evening last month.
He joined at the age of
just 19, when he was a selfemployed
shearing contractor.

Residents
to get
police
tips on
beating
crime
• By Susan Sandys
RESIDENTS WILL be learning
how to improve their vehicle and
home security as police launch a
campaign on crime prevention.
Police will have a purpose-built
crime prevention vehicle outside
supermarkets at Lincoln and
Rolleston next week, offering
advice to residents.
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker
said while crime rates in the district
were low, residents could do
better when it came to improving
their own security.
The rate of car break-ins in the
district was about one every two
days, at the most, he said.
“The focus will be on home and
vehicle security, as this is still an
area where our own security can
be improved,” Harker said.
The vehicle would be at New
World Lincoln on Wednesday
3-6pm, Countdown Rolleston
on Thursday 3.30-6pm, and
New World Rolleston on Friday
11.30am-1.30pm.

THAT’S A pretty good
innings from Coalgate fire
chief Phillip Shaw on our
front page today.
Shaw, 70, has been
recognised for 50 years
service with the volunteer
brigade. Retirement is
not even on the horizon, he
says.
Volunteer firefighters are
vital in any small community,
and those in the Selwyn
district are among New
Zealand’s finest.
They fight major out-ofcontrol
scrub fires to small
domestic blazes, attend
vehicle crashes from the
horrific to the minor and are
often the first responders to a
medical incident.
In a small community
like the Coalgate area the
volunteers are likely to know
the victims of the call-outs
they attend. Mentally that
can be very tough.
The community needs
more people like Phillip
Shaw.

HISTORY BUFFS are lobbying
the district council for more
support, to the tune of up to $2
million. They want the council
to fund heritage preservation
through a district-wide rate.
Selwyn Heritage and Historical
Network represents the 16
groups in the district.
Chairman Grant Clausen
said members worked countless
hours to collect and catalogue
the images and stories of their
areas, as well as maintain and
improve heritage buildings.
The current level of council’s
commitment, encompassing
annual grants and contestable
funding streams, was not enough
to undertake larger projects outside
of day-to-day costs.
“Fundraising sausage sizzles
and raffles will not raise the
money required to fulfil this
task,” Clausen said.
“Many volunteers are getting
older, the meaningful stuff is going
to get lost.”
Members wanted buildings
and display areas made fitfor-purpose
to properly house
historical items. They also
wanted to develop a heritage trail
throughout the district, and have
an appointed council staff member
to liaise with groups and
promote the district’s history.
Big-ticket items requiring
funding included about $500,000
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
More heritage funding called for
for turning a building at the Ellesmere
Heritage Park into a museum,
complementing a restored
1870s cottage and the 1870s
Southbridge Gaol at the site.
Others included turning the
Hororata Hall into a historical
society, shifting the nationallyrenowned
Burnham Military
Museum from the military
camp to Rolleston, developing
a woolshed on the 19th century
Terrace Station at Hororata into
an educational and display space,
and securing the future of the
1959 Arthur’s Pass National Park
visitor centre.
Clausen urged members of the
public to submit to the long-term
plan to support increasing heritage
funding. The consultative
document released last month
had not included any funding
for this, in spite of the network
lobbying for it.
Council group manager community
services and facilities
Denise Kidd said the council supports
heritage through the Selwyn
Heritage Fund, which provided up
to $73,000 a year for specific heritage
protection projects.
“On top of this, the council
provides funding to heritage
groups through the Selwyn
Community Grants Fund for
various events and projects. The
council’s Creative Communities
Fund has also funded heritagerelated
projects,” Kidd said.

Additionally, the council
developed and enforced rules for
the protection of buildings and
areas of historical significance
under the District Plan.
Council staff had met with
network members last month and
outlined the council’s existing
plans and projects related to heritage
within existing funding budgets.
And prior to this, the council
had encouraged heritage groups to
consider what proposals they wold
submit to the long term plan.

In Brief
TREE TRIMMER BLAZE
Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade
members responded to a fire in
a tree topper on Monday
morning last week. Chief Stuart
Jones said the machine was
extensively damaged in the
blaze, which was caused by a
mechanical fault in the engine.
The topper was in operation at
the time, trimming a hedge along
Homebush Rd. The brigade had
another call-out on Wednesday
about 6pm. A power transformer
on Highfield Rd had caught fire,
setting alight a small area of
vegetation underneath.
LONG TERM PLAN
Residents can find out more
about the district council’s
Long Term Plan 2021-2031
consultation document this
week and next week at drop-in
sessions. Sessions are planned
for 3-6pm tomorrow at Darfield
Library community room, and
3-6pm, April 13, at Rolleston
Library, and 3-6pm, April 15,
Lincoln Library.
Submissions on the 10-year
planning documnet This Way…
2031 close 5pm, April 30.
The council is encouraging
residents, ratepayers and
stakeholders to make sure they
have their say. The average
proposed rates increase for the
2021-2022 year (starting July 1)
is 4.9 per cent, which is a total of
$138, or $2.65 per week.

Many call-outs are to acquaintances
• From page 1
Today aged 70 and retired,
Shaw remembers vividly the reason
behind wanting to become a
firefighter. It’s the same reason he
plans to continue in the brigade
today.
“You just do your things for
your community. It’s not about
me, it’s about the brigade,” Shaw
said.
He has lived in Coalgate most
of his life, attending Glentunnel
School and Darfield High School.
He said being a firefighter for
a small town brigade meant that
most call-outs were to incidents
that affected friends and acquaintances.
“The chances are very high if
we get a call to an MVA (motor
vehicle accident), it’s someone we
will know.
“We have known people who
have been deceased and that’s
pretty hard.”
The same was true for calls to
medical situations. Firefighters
sometimes faced trying to resuscitate
a patient, only to lose them.
“I can think of three or four
just sitting here now, people I
know quite well you are performing
CPR on.”
Shaw said he always looked
out for fellow members of the
brigade, wanting to ensure they
were doing okay as they coped
with such trauma. For himself,
he found a quiet beer and debrief
back at the station with other
firefighters helped.
He said discussions following
any such event were valuable
at a professional level as well,
allowing firefighters to look at
ways they could improve their
response at similar call-outs in
future.
Memorable call-outs included
house fires, as well as a fire at the
Glentunnel garage, and the arson
of the Glentunnel Hall in 2003.
News reports of the latter incident
describe fire crews bringing
the blaze under control within
15 minutes after arriving to find
the entire building engulfed in
flames.
Shaw said call-outs drew a response
from Coalgate firefighters

Station vary each year from about 25 to more than 40.
which encompassed their wider
roles as community members.
“Members if possible rally
around, give a hand, clean up
afterwards. We are not just there
to do our job and go home, they
will be around there with a digger
and a tractor,” Shaw said.
Shaw said the brigade’s 19
firefighters, comprising 18
men and one woman, were
enthusiastic and contributed
much to the brigade in terms
of their expertise and training.
The number of brigade call-outs
each year varied from about 25 to
more than 40.
“We have a really good group
who can turn out very, very
quickly, and that’s what it’s
about,” he said.
Police rely heavily on
community patrols
• From page 1
“We will be looking
at visiting other towns
in the district in the
next few months,”
Harker said.
Harker said he had
recently attended a
meeting with Selwyn
Community Patrol,
where he had been
pleased to see several
new volunteers had
signed up. The Selwyn patrol
and Malvern Community Patrol
acted as the “eyes and ears” of
police, reporting any unusual
activity.
He urged anyone interested to
join, as both groups sought new
members.
“Police heavily rely on community
patrols throughout New
Zealand, and our local patrols
do a fantastic job,” Harker said.
Selwyn patrol chairman Errol
Wood said the recent intake of
volunteers had been successful.
The organisation had about 50
members, each undertaking
about one shift per month.
He hoped to add more
members, particularly those
who did not mind working past
midnight.
He said many of the current
members were retirees, who
liked to finish their shifts about
11pm, meaning the patrol was
often not operating at the same
time criminals were active.
Wood had been a resident of
Lincoln for 38 years, and in that
time there had been an increase
in petty crime. Extending the
hours the patrol operated would
help combat this increase.
“We would probably observe
more of that behaviour,” Wood
said.
The patrol has the use of a
modern car marked with community
patrol signage, made
possible with funding from local
charities and businesses. The
district’s growing population
would most likely necessitate
adding a second vehicle in future,
he said.
The patrol covers Lincoln,
Prebbleton, Rolleston, West
Melton and other towns.

“IT’S GOING to be a full house.”
That is the message from Selwyn Sounds
promoter David Parlane ahead of the event
on Saturday.
International travel restrictions mean
that this year the event is “keeping it Kiwi,”
said Parlane.
The expected crowd of about 10,000 will
be treated to an all New Zealand lineup
featuring Stan Walker, Jordan Luck Band,
Zed, Elemeno P, Annie Crummer, The
Chills, Hello Sailor, Lady Killers and Automatic
80s.
Selwyn Sounds was scheduled for
last month, but was delayed due to the
Covid-19 alert level rise.
Parlane said holding it this month will
add a new feel, as it will be the first time
Lincoln Domain transcends into full darkness
during the event.
The venue will be illuminated by an impressive
lighting system, which will bring a
whole new excitement to the performances
filled with classic Kiwi hits.
Said Parlane: “The last three acts of the
evening at that time will be Zed, Jordan
Luck [Band] and Stan Walker. Stan puts on
a pretty spectacular stage show, especially
with his lighting, and so does Jordan Luck,
who really wants to bring it to Selwyn.”
Parlane is excited for every artist who
is performing, but said Jordan Luck
Band and Hello Sailor will be personal
highlights.
“I’m particularly looking forward to
9.30am – express pass gates
open
10am – general admission

Jordan Luck [Band]. His show this year
around the country has been exceptional
. . . they [the band] said they haven’t
peaked yet, they’re peaking for Selwyn
Sounds.
“Hearing Gutter Black [by Hello Sailor]
going across Lincoln Park is going to be a
pretty special moment.”
Parlane said Selwyn Sounds staff have
put together a great event in spite of the
challenges Covid-19 has posed.
He said the event has recently secured
its future and has been granted resource
consent to run for the next 11 years.
There are still a few tickets left for Saturday’s
event and Parlane urged people not
to miss out.

THE DISTRICT council is
stepping into the future as it
plans to add two electric vehicles
to its fleet by the end of the year.
It is the start of leaving behind
fuel-powered technology for the
council as it meets its requirements
under the Zero Carbon
Amendment Act.
The council
currently has 61
cars, including two
hybrid vehicles. Its
fleet will remain the
same size, as the
two electric vehicles
will be replacements.
It also has four more
hybrid vehicles on order, also
replacement vehicles, for the
coming five months.
The council passed a resolution
at its meeting last week to add the
two electric vehicles.
Group manager property
Douglas Marshall said the council
was committed to reducing its
own carbon footprint as part of
its climate change policy.
“When we had our carbon
footprint mapped last year,
transport, including contractor
transport, was identified as the
NEWS 7
More electric
vehicles to be added
to council fleet
Douglas
Marshall
biggest area of council emissions,”
Marshall said.
“Reducing our emissions is
part of our determination to lead
the change, to be the best stewards
we can be for Selwyn. Caring
for the district’s environment
and people, and making as many
of our cars as is feasible electric,
is one step we can take to doing
this,” he said.
“At this stage we’re starting
with two electric vehicles. It’s
inevitable with the changing
technology for cars and our
requirements under the Zero
Carbon Amendment Act we will
need to convert more of our fleet
to electric, but we’re only at the
start of that process.”
The council was still confirming
the costs for the initial electric
vehicles and the set-up costs.
In a report before council
at the meeting, Marshall said
staff would be considering what
charging systems would need to
be in place at either council sites
or at individual staff properties.
As well as the installation of
charging stations, extension of
the vehicle compound on the
northern end of the headquarters’
building would be required.

Geography whizz Leah gets to
compete against best in the world
• By Susan Sandys
WHEN IT comes to geography,
Darfield High School student
Leah Hamilton-Cross is one of
the best in the country.
In August, the 17-year-old,
who lives in Hororata, will get
her chance to compete against
other top students from across
the globe, at the International
Geography Olympiad 2021.
The Olympiad is an annual
competition for 16 to 19-year-old
geography students, chosen to
represent their countries from
thousands who participate in
their own national geography
olympiads.
After being cancelled last year
with Covid-19 border closures, it
was planned this year for Istanbul,
Turkey.
However, organisers recently
decided the August event will
be held online instead due to
the continuing Covid-19 uncertainty.
The New Zealand team of
four will compete together from
Wellington.
Leah said while she had
travelled to many places around
the world with her family, she
had never been to Turkey. After
researching the country, she had
been keen to go there.
However, it had been no
surprise when the event moved
online. She remained just as
excited about representing her
country and meeting up with her
teammates.
Leah believed that she and her
fellow three competitors had a
chance of winning, which would
see New Zealand named the
champion of the prestigious and
highly-competitive event.
“It’s a lot of pressure representing
New Zealand, and I hope we
will do well,” the school prefect
said.
“I think it’s such a great opportunity,
and I’m excited for where
it is going to take me,” she said.
She had been “super excited”
when she found out she had
come through the gruelling selection
process, which included
writing an essay and an interview,
to be named in the top four
in the country.
Her career goal is to become
a scientist or researcher in the
fields of environmental management
or geography.
The iGeo will be a written test,
a multimedia test and substantial
fieldwork requiring observation,
leading to cartographic
representation and geographical
analysis. The programme also
includes poster presentations by
teams.
Leah said she is looking forward
to being asked all sorts of
questions around topics such as
climate change, ocean processes,
shore dynamics, earthquakes,
the hydraulic cycle and society
development.
“I love geography,
it’s
my favourite
subject,” she
said.
Leah is
grateful to the
community for
helping her get
to the Olympiad.
Malvern Lions Club
contributed $400 and
Malvern Community
Board put in $500
from the Malvern Ward
Discretionary Fund.
TOP STUDENT: Leah
Hamilton-Cross will
compete in the
International Geography
Olympiad in August.

NEWS
Area response manager
Senior Sergeant Dean
Harker talks about police
activity in the district
THIS MONTH we will focus
on hunting during the roar, and
poaching.
As most country will be aware
the hunting period known as
the roar is well underway and
most hunters will be busy trying
to secure a trophy stag over the
next few weeks.
Always remember alcohol and
firearms do not mix, only consume
alcohol once your hunting
is over for the day and your
firearms are locked away.
Make sure you have advised
family or friends about your
hunting intentions including
routes and expected return date
and times. If possible, take a
PLB. If you don’t have one, a
number of hunting stores and
sporting good shops sometimes
hire them out.
The most important thing
is to always follow The Seven
Firearms Safety Rules:
• Rule 1: Treat every firearm as
loaded.
• Rule 2: Always point firearms
in a safe direction.
• Rule 3: Load a firearm only
when ready to fire.
• Rule 4: Identify your target
beyond all doubt.
• Rule 5: Check your firing
zone.
• Rule 6: Store firearms and
ammunition safely.
• Rule 7: Avoid both alcohol
and drugs when handling firearms.
Poaching and the police
Some local farmers may
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Follow the safety rules when handling firearms
Dean Harker
Selwyn Police
experience poaching over the
next month so here is a friendly
reminder.
Police have wide legislative
powers available to them to
counter this type of offending.
A range of powers are found
in the Wild Animal Control Act
1977 which controls the spread
of harmful wild animals and,
as part of this, legislates against
illegal hunting.
Under the act it is an offence
to hunt, kill or possess wild animals
without the express authority
of the owner or occupier of
the relevant land. The maximum
fine is up to $100,000 plus two
years imprisonment.
Charges can also be brought
under the Forest and Rural Fire
Regulations 2005 for being in
an exotic forest without the required
permit. An exotic forest is
defined as one made up solely or
mainly of non-indigenous trees.
Offenders thinking about
committing crime in our area
should also be warned that any
hunting relates to items including
firearms, knives, dogs, GPS
units and vehicles may be seized
and forfeited.
Poaching can be the catalyst for
other crimes, such as damaging
machinery and the theft of fuel.
Police will also be alert to any
attempts to steal stock.
Preventing crime
Security options for farmers
to consider include installing
CCTV or wireless alert system
which can activate an alarm
in your house to alert you that
someone is in your shed by
alarm or light sensors.
These devices are highly effective
and can even work in areas
across some distance, where
there is no cell coverage.
There are also satellite GPS
devices available that can be
installed covertly on items such as
quad bikes and other machinery
which can be tracked if they get
stolen. Satellite devices also do
not require cell coverage to track.
Crime prevention
signage
Two crime prevention signs are
available to help deter unlawful
hunters and trespassers.
Both signs can be bought
through Neighbourhood Support
as part of a joint initiative
with police.
• Sign 1 – Hunters be Aware
• Sign 2 – Camera Operating
Both signs are printed on 4mm
white aluminium composite
material with a UV resistant
anti-graffiti laminate. Sign size is
an A3 – 297mm W x 420mm H.
The estimated lifespan for
these signs is 15 years.
Both signs have six holes for
easy installation. Price – $16.30
excluding GST.
To place an order, contact
Kelsey@neighbourhoodsupport.

CHARITIES are benefiting
to the tune of more than
$200,000 after the success
of a charity house project
in Rolleston.
The new Launch
Foundation and Freedom
Built home construction
company combined their
efforts on the project, while
subcontractors contributed
by donating labour and
materials.
The subcontractors were
recently treated to a viewing
of the recently-sold
house, on Hepburn Pl in
Goulds subdivision.
Driver of the initiative
and Launch Foundation
trustee Cole Askew said
the foundation wanted
to help people access the
resources they needed to
grow and develop.
“I had a great upbringing
as a child, which allowed
me to pursue my passions,
but not everyone is that
fortunate,” Askew said.
Grant recipients included
the Graeme Dingle
Foundation, which runs
programmes to build
resilience and life schools
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
in pupils at decile 1 to 3
schools, Pillars, which
provides wrap-around
services for families and
whanau of prisoners, and
Aviva, which provides
specialist services to
support children and
adults to live a life free
from family and sexual
violence.
Karen Askew of Freedom
Built said the company
and the foundation
were already seeking
offers for any qualified
subcontractors who would
like to contribute products
or services for a second
charity build.
She would like to
see the charity-build
model replicated by
other companies as new
subdivisions opened.
“The Rolleston
community has watched
and engaged with
the various donating
contractors, who have been
able to strengthen their
brand recognition (through
signs on fences, and posts
on social media),” Askew
said.

This way…
Our map for the next 10 years
Over the next few weeks we'll be highlighting eight big decisions
we need your help with as part of the Long-Term Plan consultation.
BIG DECISION 4
Maintaining our roads (2021–31)
Every year people travel over 520 million kilometres on our roads. In the
past 10 years usage has increased over five percent each year.
OUR PREFERRED OPTION
Sustainability at heart
of Te Ara Ātea
The anchor of the new Rolleston Town Centre has been designed with sustainability at its core.
Te Ara Ātea – which will house the Rolleston Library, along with other community spaces and
experiences – is on track to open in November. It has an innovative design to help the building be
sustainable and provide a great experience for people.
Wherever possible locally sourced sustainable materials have been used in the construction and
all the timber in the building has been sustainably sourced.
It has also been innovatively designed to reduce energy use in lighting, heating and cooling.
For heating and cooling the building has been highly insulated and designed to maximise the use
of the natural conditions, along with a smart low-energy heating system with sensors that respond
to the temperature of the building to avoid unnecessary energy use.
The lighting combines the use of the large windows and low-energy, long-life LED lights placed to
use the minimum number of lights while still providing ample brightness.
These systems will be controlled by a high-tech building management system, using energy
metres and other sensors to analyse what parts of the building are in use, light levels,
temperature, humidity, energy consumption and weather and adjust settings such as shading,
lighting, heating and cooling. It will also identify maintenance issues earlier, reducing energy use,
maintenance costs and time when things are offline or services are unavailable.
The building has also been designed to be flexible in the way it can be used, with the layout able
to change to meet a wide variety of different activities and functions into the future, reducing the
need to build further buildings.
Sitting at the Tennyson Street entrance to the new town centre, the northern end of Te Ara Ātea
will be surrounded by kai gardens and the sensory experience with its many gardens and trees.
It is part of a design that intends to have well vegetated thresholds at each entrance to the town
centre to ensure a green path into the area.
Masterclass offered on getting great events going
Getting great events running in Selwyn is the focus of two Council workshops in coming months,
starting next week.
The Council is running an Event Permitting Masterclass on Tuesday 13 April to help event organisers
with the ins and outs of permits, what you might need and why.
The workshop will give an overview on the process for applying for permits to run an event in Selwyn and
what is needed for successful permit applications, and Council staff will be available to answer questions.
It is the first of two workshops from the Council in April and May to support and encourage events in
Selwyn, Council Events and Funding Coordinator Cristene Trenuela-Chan says.
“It’s to help encourage events and good events for Selwyn. The permitting masterclass helps us take
the scary component out of setting up at event. It’s helping people understand both what permits they
need to run an event and why they need them. It also lets you meet the people involved and helps us to
support you in your event.”
It will be followed by the Get Set Go workshop at the end of May for people who have an idea for an
event and want to learn about how to get started with the basics of planning and running it.
“We know there are people out there with great ideas that can bring some fun, build community, and be
a part of making Selwyn a good place to live. We want to encourage that and help people run the best
event possible for everyone coming along.”
ON THE
ROADS
On the Roads
Pavement repairs are taking place on Days Road between Ellesmere Junction Road and
Collins Road, and on Wards Road between Kerrs Road and Sandy Knowles Road. Traffic
management is in place for these works.
Increase general rate-funded maintenance above the level funded
by NZTA
This option means a higher level of funding by ratepayers. This would
let us do additional work to lower the risk of our roads deteriorating
further and needing even more costly repairs at a later stage.
Cost
$1 million per year additional
Impact on rates
Rates would increase based on property’s value. For a property with
capital value of $550,000 this is estimated at $30 a year.
OTHER OPTION Fund maintenance at the level supported by NZTA
Under this option no additional maintenance funding would be
provided above what NZTA provides. This option would have no
additional cost or impact on rates or debt.
BIG DECISION 3
Developing a new wastewater system in Darfield and
Kirwee (2021–2026)
Following consultation in 2019 and 2020, we’ve agreed to develop
a reticulated scheme in Darfield and Kirwee. We are now asking for
feedback on our proposals for how it is to be developed and funded.
OUR PREFERRED OPTION
Connect to the Pines wastewater treatment plant in Rolleston
This would provide connections for central Darfield and growth
areas of Darfield and Kirwee, and capacity for the existing
residential properties over time. This option provides the best
environmental and public health benefits, and will better provide for
ongoing population growth.
Cost
$38 million (Note: This will initially be funded by borrowing and by a
one-off Government stimulus grant of $10 million – which reduces
the cost per house by about $5,000.)
Impact on rates
A. For existing properties
A share of the cost of the capital
works, plus connection to the
treatment plant
Property owner’s own cost
to connect their property to
the scheme.
Approximately $17,360 in

Readers respond to
last week’s Selwyn
Times article about
zoning plan changes
I see that a developer
wishes to develop a subdivision
outside what is
known as the Rolleston
Zone and opposite the
current sewage plant and
rubbish centre.
I will be willing to bet
that in their submission,
there will be the usual
promises to ensure that
BACKYARD CRITTERS
the development will
not be affected by those
established facilities and
all remedial measures will
be in place.
Then in the future when
people start to complain,
the council will be asked
to move and/or provide
expensive remedial measures
to ensure that the
now residents can have
the trouble-free lifestyle
that the developers had
promised.
Time to say no and tell
the developers to move
on. Develop what is inside
the proposed sequential
development scheme as set
out. – Gary Doyle
How can they possibly
be considering a new
subdivision in Lincoln of
2500 new houses when
there is not enough water
currently to go around?
I think new builds
should be required to have
a rainwater collection
tank, this would make
a huge difference to
demand. – Anna Leslie

THE COTTON tipworm
moth (crocidosema
plebejana) appears to be
first recorded in New
Zealand around the 1980s,
but the species now seems
well dispersed around the
country.
It is also found in Europe,
the US, North America,
Australia, India and South
Africa.
The forewing length
of the moth varies from
5.3mm to 8.5mm, and
colours vary with sex.
Males are dark brown
to black with an obvious
white dorsal patch, whereas
females are lighter brown
to tan with a dark basal
patch.
The larvae feed on a large
range of species including
several types of mallow,
cotton, pumpkin, okra,
eucalyptus, wheat, corn,
hollyhock and hawthorn.
Females lay eggs singly on
both upper and lower leaf
surfaces, laterals and buds.
Smaller larvae forage
on leaves under webbing.
Fully-grown larvae can
reach 10mm long and vary
greatly from whitish to
dark red-brown in colour.

Robertson lifts lid on coaching future
• By Christopher Reive
CRUSADERS COACH Scott
Robertson has made it clear
where he stands in discussions
around re-signing with New
Zealand Rugby, amid talk of
other nations having him in
their sights.
Robertson, who is open about
his ambitions to coach at the
highest level, has been linked to
several coaching roles overseas,
most recently as a potential
successor to Eddie Jones at the
helm of the English squad.
The 46-year-old is off contract
with NZR and the end of the
year and, in discussions with
the organisation about the
future, Robertson and his agent
Warren Alcock wanted some
answers around both career
opportunities as well as whether
or not the Silver Lake deal will
go ahead.
“The next couple of days is
pretty big around the Silver Lake
deal. We are getting close, but
the Silver Lake deal is a pretty
important part of re-signing,”
Robertson said on Wednesday.
“Like I’ve said before, with
the agent, he’s a pretty patient
type, it’s a long game for him just
around what’s happening with
New Zealand Rugby, just making
sure the timing is right.”
NZR is in the process of
UNCERTAIN: Scott Robertson has been linked to coaching roles overseas. PHOTO: GETTY
working towards a $465m deal
with the American technology
investment company that
would see them sell a 15 per
cent stake in their commercial
rights to Silver Lake. While the
New Zealand Rugby Players’
Association has come out in
opposition of the sale, NZR chief
executive Mark Robinson was
confident a “transformational”
deal would get the backing of key
stakeholders.
When pressed on exactly
why the Silver Lake deal added
to calculations, Robertson
said: “Just see what it [the deal]
means, if it is or isn’t [accepted],
and what does it look like on
the side of that with the next All
Blacks role coming up?”
Although Robertson missed
out on the All Blacks head
coaching role in late 2019 to Ian
Foster, many have tipped him as
an All Blacks coach of the future.
However, now in his fifth year as
the head coach of Crusaders and
with four Super Rugby titles in
as many campaigns at the helm
of the team, Robertson is wary of
making the right decision for his
family and his career.
“It’s pretty clear; if I sign a
couple more years, I’ll have done
the Crusaders for seven years –
which I love doing – but what
does it mean for the next step
after that? How does that line up
around the 2023 World Cup if
this coaching group stays on? So,
there’s a lot of things going on; a
lot of answers to come back.
“I’ve been really patient here.
I’ve been coming down to Rugby
Park since 2008 in some role as a
coach. We’ve got a great lifestyle,
but I’m also ambitious career
coach.
“So, for me to have the
opportunity, if it’s here or
elsewhere, you always keep
looking at those opportunities.”
Robertson has already received
a glowing reference from Sir
Clive Woodward in relation to
the top job in England, should it
become available.
The former English captain
told Newstalk ZB’s Martin
Devlin that he would love to play
for Robertson.
“This guy Robertson I don’t
know, but crikey I just get a
really good feeling about him,”
he said.
“Clearly, he’s a winner, he’s
successful, he’s very good with
people. Would I like to play for
him? Yes, without even knowing
him, just from seeing the way his
team plays.
“That would be really
interesting on so many fronts.”

Reminders of Targeted
Stream Augmentation aims
A passionate ecologist gave members
of the Selwyn Waihora Water Zone
Committee a reminder of their role
in overseeing the Targeted Stream
Augmentation Project.
Environment Canterbury’s Brett
Painter described the story of the
Targeted Stream Augmentation Project
including the project’s connection to the
collaborative nature of the Canterbury
Water Management Strategy and the role
of the zone committee.
Dr Painter described how the first
Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee were
clear in their Zone Implementation
Programme Addendum (ZIPA) and
in using managed aquifer recharge or
targeted stream augmentation to help
increase base flows in lowland streams.
He said that committee “was also
clear in the view that projects must
be for the wider good”. The Zone
Implementation Plan Amendment (ZIPA)
recommendation for regional planning
was written to ensure that these options
would be possible in the future, he said.
Dr Painter described the different
investigations and trials that had started
and what their environmental goals have
been. Zone committee minutes say it was
“agreed Dr Painter would bring more
information to the committee regarding
monitoring being undertaken, to ensure
there were no adverse effects from the
project”.
The committee “briefly discussed their
governance role with the project”. Dr
Painter explained that the committee’s
role over time has been to explore the
ideas of managed aquifer recharge and
targeted stream augmentation, write the
ZIPA to enable trials of these types of
projects, receive updates and guide the
project during construction phase and
sign off the governance group regular
reports.
The committee was also charged
with receiving final technical reports,
attending blessing or opening ceremonies,
joining planting days and communicating
the project to the public
In a 2018 paper, Protection of
groundwater dependent ecosystems in
Canterbury, New Zealand: the Targeted
Stream Augmentation Project, Dr Painter
said the region’s native aquatic species
habitat has significantly declined over the
last century, mainly because of land use
change and climatic influences.
In Selwyn Waihora, “the semi-arid
climate, significant demand for irrigation
water and the up-gradient aquifer
pressure provided by a coastal lake
provide significant aquifer management
challenges in this zone.” In response, the
local CWMS committee recommended
that managed aquifer recharge trials
to improve groundwater dependent
ecosystems start in a highly targeted
manner before gradually increasing the
distance from recharge site to the target
spring/s.
A highly targeted pilot trial showed
that the flow, temperature and nutrient
concentration benefits for the target
surface ecosystem. Lessons learned to
that point include the importance of
keeping engagement processes ahead of
technical assessments. High-level scoping
assessments should also be done before
the start of detailed investigations and
pilot projects, Dr Painter wrote.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Water management
ties grow stronger
A Selwyn water management group has
signed up to an urban water charter.
Community Waterways Partnership is
an agreement to improve the ecological
health, biodiversity, and recreational value
Christchurch’s waterways.
In notes to the charter announcement,
Environment Canterbury says urban
water quality varies considerably across
and within catchments and monitoring
identifies the areas that need to be
improved.
“Municipal stormwater treatment
infrastructure alone will not address this
water quality problem, especially in the
older part of the city where it is lacking.
Therefore, it also needs communities
to actively prevent pollution in the
first place. Achieving this will require
communities to be aware of both the
issues and the actions that they can
undertake.”
Environment Canterbury Chair Jenny
Hughey said the charter complimented
work already being done by councils and
community groups. “This partnership will
take it to the next level and is a significant
step towards improving water quality. We
are looking forward to creating a strong
partnership between community groups,
businesses, researchers, and local and
central government,” she said.
A signing event for the charter was
attended by a variety of community
participants as well as signatories
from Christchurch West Melton Water
Zone Committee, Christchurch City
Council, University of Canterbury,
the Department of Conservation, and
numerous community groups, schools
and businesses.
Kevin Brown, chair of the Christchurch
West Melton Water Zone Committee,
said “it’s a no-brainer that we need to give
them some serious attention” and he was
encouraged by charter members’ show of
commitment and collaboration.
“Sharing ideas and collaborating
is a key aspect of the Charter and
the Christchurch West Melton Zone
Committee is pleased to be able to provide
a platform where groups with an interest
in water management can have their
voices heard. By encouraging awareness,
and long-term behaviour change, I think
some really positive outcomes can come
from this,” he said.
In October 2018 the Christchurch West
Melton Zone Committee organised a
workshop with representatives of local
government including the city council,
Ngāi Tahu, universities and community
groups. The workshop was aimed at
creating a community agreement to
improve urban stormwater and waterway
health in Christchurch. The meeting gave
impetus to the Community Waterways
Partnership Charter.
The regional council expects the charter
to gain momentum as more projects
are identified and more groups and
organisations have the chance to sign up
to the partnership.
The work of the Christchurch West
Melton Water Zone Committee is tied
to the establishment of the Canterbury
Water Management Strategy (CWMS) in
2009. The CWMS sets a framework for
a collaborative approach to managing
freshwater in Canterbury and the
Christchurch West Melton Water Zone
Committee and Banks Peninsula Zone
Committee implement the CWMS
strategy in the city area.

Perfect time to pop in some colour
• By Henri Ham
AUTUMN IS the perfect time to
pop some pretty colour into your
garden.
Flowers like polyanthus,
primula and viola can easily revitalise
a weary garden, and thrive in
the cooler months. And planting
them now, before the temperature
drops, gives them time to really
get established, bringing you a
prolonged blooming season.
Polyanthus, primula and viola
are easy to grow and flourish in
garden beds, as borders, or in
pots. Polyanthus and voila are
petite blooms (about 10-15cm
high), while primula has a bit
more height (30cm) – ideal for
planting in behind smaller plants,
for a fuller garden effect.
Primula comes in several
shades of pink, red, white and
mixed. It’s a dainty flower, and
when picked makes a cute winter
posy arrangement for your
kitchen. Primula also copes well
growing in the shade.
If you’re not into the primula
pinks, violas have a bolder look
and come in range of blues, yellows
and oranges. To really make
these colours pop, when planting
try thinking about your complementary
colours – if you’ve got a
terracotta orange pot, try planting
blue blooms. Alternatively, if
your pot (or house colour) is blue,
VIVID: Primula lavender is a dainty flower, also available in many other colours. Polanthus
look pretty in a pot on a table.
try the citrus or orange violas,
to really make them stand out.
Purple and yellow flowers will
also complement each other, and
really stand out in a pot together.
Polyanthus has a smaller bloom
(framed by its leaves) appearance.
There are blue, red, pink, white
and yellow polyanthus – so you’re
bound to find something you like.
They look pretty in a pot on a
table, and you’ll often see polyanthus
in perfectly planted borders
at public gardens.
When getting ready to plant
your seedlings, choose a spot that
receives some sun, and has good
drainage. If your garden is looking
a bit tired after summer, turn
over the soil, and dig through
some organic compost or fertiliser.
Once this is done, dig holes for
your flowers, 10-20cm apart. You
want the holes to be large enough
so the roots of the seedlings don’t
get squashed. Place the seedlings
in, and press soil firmly down
around it.
Your plants will benefit from a
good initial watering, and adding
a layer of mulch around them.
This will help retain moisture,
soften the frost, and repel the
weeds.
If you’ve flower seedlings left
over, an old favourite of mine is
to pack them into a low hanging
basket. Pop your primula, polyanthus
or violas in, and add some
lobelia to really soften the sides.
And, as we leave summer behind,
I also like that baskets aren’t so
labour intensive with minimal
watering required.
In six to eight weeks, you’ll start
to see colour popping through,
all set for your coming cooler
months. And remember – as with
most flowers – to pick the off the
deadheads to encourage more to
bloom.

THE COOLER temperatures of
autumn have arrived, and so too
has the beautiful colourful display
of leaves on deciduous trees.
It’s another busy month in the
garden as we prepare our gardens
for the colder winter months.
Planting winter vege
seedlings
April is the favoured month for
planting winter vegetable seedlings.
Add fresh compost to the
vege plot before planting broad
beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,
lettuce, onions, peas, radish,
spinach, swedes and turnips.
It’s a good idea to stagger your
plantings (called succession planting)
every two to three weeks so
you have a continuous harvest
throughout winter.
If temperatures are dropping at
night, put jars or plastic bottles
over seedlings to protect them
against early frosts – this also
helps keep snails and slugs at bay.
Remember to remove any covers
in the morning.
Growing winter veges in
containers
If you are short on space in the
garden, grow your veges in containers
and/or pots. Try silverbeet,
spinach, broccoli, peas and winter
lettuce. Use fresh potting mix and
make sure your pots/containers
have good drainage holes. Place
them in a warm sunny, north
facing, position, away from strong
winds. Add a layer of mulch on
top to protect the soil.
Planting flowering winter
annuals
Summer flowering annuals are
just about finished. Remove old
plants into the compost bin and if
you haven’t already, prepare beds
for planting with fresh compost.
Winter annuals to plant in this
month include; alyssum, aquilegia,
calendulas, cineraria, cornflower,
lobelia, lupins, nemesia,
pansies, primulas, snapdragons,
status, stock, sweet pea, sweet william,
violas and wallflowers.
Plant up pots and containers
for colourful displays on decks
and balconies – they will provide
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
a real lift over the dreary, cold
winter months.
Preparing the strawberry
patch
May is the preferred time for
planting strawberries so use this
month to prepare your strawberry
patch for planting. Prepare the
soil and mound areas for planting
above the existing ground level,
adding fresh compost and compacting
the soil. Remove ‘runners’
from last seasons strawberry
plants and keep them in a large
container filled with fresh potting
mix until they are planted next
month.
Fruit tree harvesting
Feijoas and early kiwifruit are
ripening. Leave feijoas to fall to
the ground before collecting the
fruit. All stone fruit trees can be
given an end-of-season spray with
a copper compound towards the
end of April. Peach and nectarine
tree pruning can start as their leaf
fall has begun. Lemons will be
colouring later in the month and
can be harvested then.
Ornamental shrubs
The first of the winter flowering
shrubs such as camelias will begin
blooming. Garden centres will
have new season plants in stock
next month, so prepare new gardens
for planting now by adding
plenty of compost.
End of the rose growing
season
Just a few rose varieties such
as iceberg will be flowering into
May. In general, roses are near the
end of their growing season and
sadly, look their least attractive.

Preparing your garden for winter weather
NOURISH: Add plenty of compost into your existing soil.

MAINTENANCE:
Snip off
strawberry
runners ready for
planting in May.
Although it may be tempting to
start pruning, it’s still a little early
as a warm spell can bring about a
burst of new growth which could
then be damaged by frosts. Continue
good garden hygiene such
as removing all fallen leaves and
dead flowers to help prevent overwintering
fungal diseases like rust
and blackspot.
Last month for lawn care
A great month for tackling
major work renovating existing
lawns or laying a new one. It
may sound a bit repetitive, but
preparation really is the key to
success in growing a healthy
lawn. With new lawns (or even
lawn repair), only import clean,
top quality topsoil or lawn soil.
Always seek advice about the
best lawn type for your
property. For existing lawns,
apply lawn fertiliser in early
April to encourage strong, even
growth.

veggies in ready for harvesting through winter.

Huge load space in Hyundai Santa Fe
MY SON recently purchased
a new television, a giant 65in
model.
The key question I asked
the salesperson at the time of
purchase was: “Would I be able
to transport it home in a sport
utility vehicle?’’ He answered yes,
if it was a big wagon.
Well, I was driving one of the
biggest mainstream SUVs in the
market – Hyundai’s new Santa
Fe – and although it was a bit of a
squeeze we did manage to get the
new TV home.
That’s one of the benefits of
the modern SUV concept, they
are adaptable with a multitude
of uses, and the new Santa Fe
Limited with its 2.2-litre diesel
engine is a class act. Well, I guess
it needs to be, at almost $90k it is
an SUV that commands a serious
financial outlay.
Of course, there are other model
options – seven variants make
up the new range which starts at
$62,990 for a 2.5-litre four-cylinder
petrol model, and there’s also
a V6 petrol in the line-up.
The new Santa Fe is exactly
that, it is an all-new shape and
sits on an all-new platform, what’s
more it gets a new diesel engine,
and while the cubic capacity is
much the same as the previous
generation model, it’s an allaluminium
unit which is smooth,
quieter, more powerful and efficient
than before.
CAPABLE: Up to 1625-litres of cargo can be transported
beneath the Santa Fe’s tailgate.
HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED: Plush, luxury SUV with a choice of engines.
The Limited model gets the
new diesel, although, as mentioned,
you can get it with petrol
power as well, but the V6 Limited
doesn’t have drive to all four
wheels.
That aside, the four-cylinder
turbocharged diesel is rated at
148kW (3800rpm) with 440Nm
of torque available from 1750rpm
to 2750rpm.
Not only are these outputs
impressive in terms of flexibility
and outright grunt, it is one of
the smoothest oil burners you are
ever likely to find in a vehicle of
this type.
It is hooked to a recently-developed
eight-speed dual clutch automatic
transmission, something
that is shared with Hyundai’s
partnership with Kia. Interaction
between the engine and gearbox
is smooth and seamless, and the
gear ratios are structured so that
they work efficiently with the
engine’s power and torque bands,
especially so the mid-range rev
spread.
In this form, the Santa Fe is relatively
quick for a vehicle which
weighs in at almost two-tonne.
According to my stopwatch it will
make 100km/h from a standstill
in under 9sec.
As you would expect in the
new-age SUV, the Santa Fe
is fitted with the latest drive
technologies, it has all-corner
propulsion which can be activated
by the driver at the turn of
a dial through a complex series of
modes and functions. Because of
the driveline mechanicals there is
a lot of suspension complexity.
Mostly, though, there is feel
and grip that the driver can use
with confidence and reassurance.
The ride is also quiet, and a lot
of that has to do with the quality
of the tyres – the big Continental
rubber (255/45 x 20in) has a firm
road feel and transports messages
to the steering wheel in a solid,
communicative way.
The Santa Fe is a fine touring
vehicle, and after years of development
the ride/handling balance
is as good as you would get in any
SUV, least of all one that sits in
the large luxury segment.
I presented the evaluation
car with a tight set of corners
between Darfield and Burnham,
the Santa Fe leans a little bit, but
such are the spring and damper
rates body movement isn’t excessive
and the occupants shouldn’t
be disappointed with the in-cabin
comfort levels.
Add in a vehicle that weighs in
at around 1900kg, there is a lot
of vehicle to get through a tight
corner, yet it does so with dignity
and purpose.
That’s one of the reasons why
SUVs have become so popular,
they perform admirably and,
in the Santa Fe’s case, it is also a
plush luxury car which impresses
• Price – Hyundai Santa Fe
Limited, $89,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4785mm; width, 1900mm;
height, 1710mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2151cc, 148kW, 440Nm,
eight-speed automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.9sec
• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km
with its refinement.
Major items of specification include
full leather trim with electrically
adjustable seats up front
(also heated). There is head-up
display, paddle-shift gear selectors
and new display graphics which
change face when the indicator
stalk is activated, side views of the
vehicle give the driver clear vision
of what is happening outside.
Also, it must be mentioned the
Limited model also gets remote
starting and movement, should
the driver’s door be hard to access,
such as a tight car park, the
vehicle can be driven forward or
reversed using the remote key.
Hyundai has upped the ante in
terms of fuel use. The Santa Fe
returned some interesting fuel usage
information during my time
with the test car. At 100km/h
in top gear the big diesel sips
fuel instantaneously at around
4.5-litres per 100km, turning over
at just 1600rpm. A test average of
7l/100km is respectable for vehicle
weight, and compares well to
Hyundai’s combined cycle claim
of 6.1l/100km.
Although the television wasn’t
heavy, it was bulky and claimed a
fair hunk of space made easy by
the clever seat folding system. In
terms of figures, the load area can
claim up to 547-litres, 1625-litres
with the rear second row of seats
folded. Yes, the Santa Fe is a useful
seven-seater.
I was scheduled into Hyundai’s
new Santa Fe just before Christmas,
however, a shipping mix-up
meant it wasn’t dispatched to
Christchurch.
Fast forward two months and
the range-topping Limited arrived.
The wait was really worth
it, it’s sophistication speaks
volumes, the Santa Fe is a model
that sits on the outer periphery
of the luxury wagon market, yet
it competes admirably with all of
the big names.
However, its biggest competition
will come from Kia’s new
Sorento; the two South Korean
companies are partners, yet battle
each other fiercely, especially in
terms of pricing.
The new Sorento, with a similar
driveline, has an advantage
there, how it all plays out in
the marketplace will be very
interesting to watch.

Choices, Options and Opportunities
We are so excited to share with you this modern, builders
own home and lifestyle property presently offering not
just the opportunity to enjoy the stylishly renovated and
extended home on 6.29 acres with 3 stables, tack room, 2
bay haybarn (with mezzanine for storage) but could allow
potential for subdivision in the future. All this so close to
Prebbleton and only 10 minutes to the city - how’s that
for a total package!
But the appeal is far greater than just the potential. You’ll
quickly discover a fabulous backdrop for entertaining
thanks to the elegant kitchen and the generous living
spaces which open out to the patio. Here you are nestled
in the manicured garden for outdoor dining with access
to the cosy alcove space for the spa. Living enjoys a log
fire (with heat transfer) and heat pump while all four
bedrooms are genuine doubles. A separate laundry and
storage room complete the picture.
Thanks to crisp paintwork, quality carpet and rich solid NZ
oak wood flooring, internal décor is fresh and ready for
your personality, while outside the contemporary feel is
continued with a plaster finish.
The numerous outbuildings offer so many uses; work
from home (3 phase power to the pump shed), a home for
your horses or simply perfect storage.
471 Springs Road – Prebbleton
This property is a rarity with so many options you could live
and enjoy, land bank for the future or make a home for your
lifestyle!
It is a must view.
Deadline Sale: Plus GST (if any).
All offers presented Wednesday, 14th April at 4pm
(unless sold prior).

Fix those
minor defects
Start out front, cleaning, clearing and
decluttering the yard to make a good
impression on buyers.
It’s a rare house that doesn’t have defects.
Even newly renovated ones can have
features that detract for buyers. But there
are ways for sellers to deflect attention
from them without pretending they’re not
there. The three main ways of dealing with
defects are:
1. Fix them.
2. Draw the eye away from them.
3. Use them as a selling point.
Simple defects can be fixed easily. Start
out front. Overgrown bushes can be
trimmed, or replaced with a few matching
plants, old fences and front doors can be
painted or stained, and the paths cleaned.
Do this even if a property is a do-up.
You want to give the impression that
buyers can move into the house and chip
away at the work in their own time
If you have time and money, paint sills
and eaves using accents.
Inside, the first thing buyers see is the
hallway, which can be brightened up with
a lick of paint. The neutral paint trick can
also be used to paint over dated wallpaper,
completely changing the look and feel of a
tired house.
Bathrooms and kitchens are important to
buyers, and the eye settles on vanities and
benches. These can be resurfaced relatively
quickly to give a modern look.
If the seller can’t repaint or tile the
bathroom bring in high quality matching
towels, which become a feature in the
room and draw the eye from the less than
desirable walls and features. Nice vases and
flowers will do the same.
Replacing handles and knobs to draw
attention away from the units themselves.
This reduces the number of “I have to do
this” thoughts in potential buyers’ minds.
Drawing the eye away from a multitude
of sins is exactly the thing to do.
If you see an empty house the eye always
goes to marks on the carpet and walls and
this will lower the price expectation.”
Drawing the eye to the furniture and
furnishings, creates better flow, and de
cluttering makes buyers feel the home
would be a nice place to live in.
The other way to handle the property’s
defects is to raise them with the buyer
before they see them.
If the carpet is bad, for example, you
can say: “Hey, they were going to replace
the carpet but they decided to leave it to
you to choose a new carpet and priced it
accordingly.”
Finally, good old fashioned elbow grease
is essential in all properties to remove
those sins that are simply cleanable.

innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.

Anyone intending to build a new home
should have the builder’s contract checked
out by an experienced lawyer.
A payment schedule can also minimise
financial risks. Issues that you may have to
deal with include:
the deposit, guarantees and warranties
If you want to compare building
companies, it’s important to get down
to finer details such as how many power
points there are per room, the type of
windows you are having or which paint
finishes are included.
Questions to ask builders include:
• Do you have a
completion guarantee
and how does it work?
• Is there a loss of
deposit guarantee?
• Is the company a
Registered Master
Builder and does
it use third-party
written guarantees?
• What is the schedule
for payments?
• How are the deposit
and progress
payments
administered?
• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust fund?
• Will the master franchisor complete
the build if the franchisee goes out of
business
• What are the exact specs?
• Are the prices fixed?
• What is excluded from the build?
• Are there any restrictions on
driveways or any other connections?
• Can you speak with clients who have
just completed a build?
Do your homework before you decide on a
building company and you will have a less
stressful time once the building process
starts.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Hot real estate market dictates
buyers be smart and aware
Tall
Poppy
Owner,
Michael
Seymour
We’re heard it all before: Selwyn’s the fastest growing
area, it’s never been a better time to buy and well,
etcetera, etcetera. But here are some real stats that
Michael Seymour, owner of Tall Poppy Real Estate,
was keen to talk about. Stock levels are down
44% on last year. Average expected sale price has
increased by 23% to $750,000, and property is selling
25 days quicker in an average of just 41 days. In
short, the few houses available for sale are selling
fast and at higher prices.
In 2020 the market was a little blasé, but right
now—the market is hot. Three bedrooms/two
bathrooms houses are still in high demand and
most buyers are coming from Christchurch
City following the national trend of rising
property prices, flexible working conditions
and less need to be central to the city. It’s
also getting much harder to find a slice of
land to build on.
Be smart and do your research
Michael says with so many buyers
out there it can be deflating. People are
anxious and everyone is bidding on
everything. His advice to buyers is to
see every single listing in your area.
Be smart—have daily alerts set up for
Trade Me and other real estate sites
and when they come through, enquire
immediately. And to sellers, do your research. Go to
as many open homes as you can. See the different
styles and standards of the agents out there and
look for someone with a personality that you’re
comfortable with. A good track record of past
sales numbers isn’t the only indicator of the best
person to work with.
Selwyn’s tall poppy
Helen Lee came to Selwyn from the UK and has
been living in the area for fourteen years. She loves
our community, and the many residents she meets
who are on their own real estate journey.
With a background in banking and
stockbroking, Helen is comfortable with
financial assets and negotiating for the
best result; she’s professional and an
expert in the local area. Helen recently
won the Rate My Agent, Agent of the
Year Award for the suburb of Lincoln
and was also #89 in the Agent of
the Year Awards for New Zealand.
Something to be proud of, especially
when they were based on client
feedback.

SELLING YOUR HOME?
Potential buyers are
likely to be living in your
neighbourhood, it’s an
area that they already love
and are actively seeking
to stay in. That’s why it
makes sense to advertise
your property in the
Selwyn Property Guide.
