Prebbleton on verge 

of major growth spurt 

Support and 

opposition on 

developments 

• By Susan Sandys 

PREBBLETON’S residential 

area could increase by more 

than 80 per cent if plan change 

applications before the district 

council are all approved. 

A new Prebbleton plan 

change application takes the 

number of applications before 

the district council to three, 

amounting to about 1520 new 

homes. 

This would represent an 

82 per cent increase on the 

district council’s current estimate 

of about 1850 dwellings in the 

town. 

Prebbleton’s potential huge 

growth comes as nearly 300 

submitters lodge their opposition 

and support to the 2000-home 

Lincoln South proposal and 2100- 

home west Rolleston proposal on 

Dunns Crossing Rd.

THE DISTRICT’S growth 

continues like a runaway 

train. 

On page 1 today, we reveal 

plan changes which could see 

Prebbleton’s growth explode. 

This is on the back of what 

is happening in Rolleston 

and the huge residential 

development planned for 

south Lincoln. If the plan 

changes go through, just over 

1500 more homes will be built 

in the township, increasing its 

size by 82 per cent. 

There may be a time 

when you won’t be able 

to differentiate between 

Prebbleton, Lincoln and 

Rolleston. 

A great read today on pages 

12-13 about Selwyn Sounds, 

how it got started and an

become an iconic music event 

in Canterbury. 

Amazing what can come

DARFIELD HIGH School 

principal Andy England has 

welcomed the end of the limited 

statutory management period 

for the school. 

New systems introduced by 

the school seem to be working 

well, with a dramatic drop in 

stand downs and suspensions. 

Darfield High was put under 

limited statutory management in 

September 2019, after the ministry 

identified concerns around 

the board of trustee’s policies 

and procedures with regard to 

employment matters and communications. 

Limited statutory manager 

Gillian Simpson worked with 

the school’s board of trustees 

and leadership to address concerns 

raised by the community. 

England, who was appointed 

in January, said the notice being 

revoked this month showed that 

the Ministry of Education now 

had full confidence in the school 

and its team. 

“Interventions like LSMs 

aren’t bad for schools. They can 

be good, a bit like surgery when 

it’s needed. But it’s always good 

when they finish,” England said. 

He said the community had 

rightly pointed out some areas to 

improve. The school had listened 

and was working to ensure 

Darfield High was “an amazing 

school for our whole community.” 

The school was improving 

communication with its 

community, developing its 

curriculum to be more culturally 

inclusive and fresher, and 

introducing positive systems 

within the school. These positive 

systems included establishing a 

new vision and values. 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

Darfield High School back on track 

NEW CHAPTER: Darfield High School principal Andy England said the Ministry of 

Education now has full confidence in the school and its team. 

Stand downs and suspensions 

have dropped dramatically. 

There were 24 stand downs in 

2019, 70 last year, and only five 

so far this year. 

There were seven suspensions 

in 2019, 21 last year, and none so 

far this year. 

England said NCEA attainment 

had been at continuously 

good levels over the period, with 

results comparing to the national 

averages of other high 

decile schools. 

Board chairwoman Sue Robinson 

said the board is close to 

completing its new vision and a 

set of school values, which would 

inform a three-year strategic 

plan. 

“We’re at the start of a new 

chapter and we’re confident 

about the path ahead,” Robinson 

said.

Students almost ready for spooky 


LINCOLN HIGH School 

students are preparing to stage 

The Addams Family musical as 

they learn all about theatrical 

production in a timetabled 

subject. 

Seventy-seven students from 

year 10 to 13 have developed 

expertise in their chosen 

strand of study as part of the 

subject, whether it be in stage 

performance or behind-thescenes 

topics such as make-up, 

set design, lighting and sound. 

Director and drama teacher 

Sandra McLean said it had 

been “a massive journey” to get 

to the lead-up to opening night, 

which would be Wednesday next 

week. 

“I’m absolutely excited, I can’t 

wait for a live audience to see 

it. I think we have some really, 

really strong leads this year, and 

we have a very talented cast,” 

McLean said. 

It was the first time the 

school’s biennial production 

had been undertaken as part 

of a timetabled subject. In 

previous years it had been an 

extra-curricular undertaking, 

with rehearsals on Tuesday and 

Thursday nights, and six to eight 

hours on Sundays. 

Students are still spending 

their Sundays rehearsing, as 

well devoting plenty of their 

remaining out-of-school time to 

preparing for the show. 

McLean said the students had 

embraced every aspect of the 

musical black comedy, including 

the challenging make-up and 

costuming. 

The deathly-pale skin colour 

of the characters necessitated a 

white cream-based make-up to be 

applied to faces, arms and legs. 

“Some of them have never 

had to do stage makeup like this 

before, this is next level,” she 

said. 

When it came to the 

costuming for the ancestors, of 

which there were 68 in the show, 

cast members had raided their 

wardrobes and visited op shops

THE DISTRICT council 

has formally moved to slash 

its number of community 

committees. 

At their fortnightly meeting 

last week, councillors agreed to 

a process over the next year, to 

discharge 46 committees of their 

legal responsibilities as committees 

of the district council. 

This will relieve them of the 

legal responsibilities of being 

part of the district council, while 

allowing them to keep functioning 

as independent community 

groups if they wish. 

Community services and 

facilities group manager Denise 

Kidd said most people agreed 70 

committees was too many. 

Being committees of council 

had shackled some groups and 

caused frustrations, including 

the restrictions of health and 

safety legislation and not being 

able to submit to the district 

council’s annual and long-term 

plans. 

“We have listened to those 

frustrations and reflected on 

the restrictions. We want to 

free groups to advocate for and 

work in their communities 

without being hampered by 

those requirements. Volunteer

community groups shouldn’t 

have to wait for council request 

or permission to do good things 

with their community and for 

their community,” Kidd said. 

The district council would 

work with the remaining 24 

committees on their future role 

and function. It was developing 

a draft policy for consultation 

with the committees and wider 

community on the future of 

committees. 

“The council will also continue 

to work with, and support, 

the various volunteers, sports 

clubs and user groups keen to 

give back to their communities 

in roles associated with reserves, 

community pools and halls,” 

Kidd said. 

“Committees of council 

have given great service and 

worked extremely hard for their 

communities over a long time,” 

Kidd said.

The new plan change 

application is from Birchs 

Village Ltd, for rezoning about 

36.5ha at Birchs Rd, south 

Prebbleton. The district council 

has named it Plan Change 79. 

It would allow for about 400 

residential lots. 

District council staff are 

currently reviewing the PC79 

request to ensure it is adequate to 

put to councillors to allow it to be 

publicly notified. 

The PC79 request follows two 

others for Prebbleton – PC68, 

which would allow for about 

820 residential lots on 67.5ha, 

and PC72, which would allow 

for about 300 residential lots on

The PC72 request is 

the only one of the three 

requests to have already 

made it to the submission 

process. 

At their meeting 

last week, councillors 

accepted the application, from 

Trices Road Rezoning Group, 

which means it can now go out 

for public notification.

the Lincoln community voicing 

a wide range of concerns at a 

public meeting organised by 

Association chairman Peter 

Hunter said the area was already 

seeing much growth with the 

addition of two new retirement 

villages, which would ultimately 

see hundreds of new residents 

settle in the town. 

“In five years’ time, 

it could well be a busy 

little retirement centre,” 

Hunter said. 

He neither supported 

nor opposed the addition 

of up to 1520 new homes 

which could become 

possible under the three plan 

change applications. 

“As an association, we are still 

getting our head around it. 

“We are still trying to have 

conversations with council and 

say: ‘What does this actually 

mean?’,” Hunter said. 

“I see progress as positive, 

but it needs to be done well and 

thoughtfully,” he added.

Concerns included that the 

development would result in 

increased traffic and emissions, 

the loss of high quality agricultural 

soil, pressure on the town’s 

infrastructure and services, and 

reduced air quality due to dust 

from earthworks. 

The high number of submissions 

compares to 49 having 

been received for the proposed 

2100-home PC73 development

Driftwood under scrutiny 

A PIECE of carved timber 

found amongst driftwood 

on the beach at Rakaia 

Huts may be a taonga 

tūturu. 

Southbridge resident 

Andrew Sutton spotted the 

item as he walked along the 

beach with his wife 

at Rakaia Huts on 

the Saturday following 

the Canterbury 

floods. 

At the bottom of 

a pile of driftwood, 

was a 70cm long item 

which caught his eye. 

“It was a lot darker 

wood, you could see it 

had been man made,” Sutton 

said. 

Picking it up, he saw 

it had been carved, with 

notches and a hole. 

He took a photo and 

posted in to the NZ 

Archaeology page on Facebook, 

where commenters 

came up with many suggestions. 

These included a 

spiritually significant item 

used by Māori chiefs, an 

old tool for making nets 

and a European wagon 

levy. 

He has since contacted 

Manatū Taonga Ministry 

for Culture and Heritage 

and taken the item to the 

Canterbury 

Museum. 

Head of collections 

and 

research Sarah 

Murray said the 

museum was 

looking after the 

object on behalf 

of the ministry, as 

per the Protected 

Objects Act 1975. 

“One of our curators 

will co-ordinate efforts to 

identify it, which will likely 

involve consulting with 

other experts. At this stage 

we can’t say whether it’s of 

cultural or archaeological 

significance,” Murray said. 

“If it’s not a taonga 

tūturu (an object relating 

to Māori culture, history 

Andrew 

Sutton 

or society), we will ask the 

finder to come and retrieve 

it, as per our identification 

and return procedure.” 

Ministry deputy chief 

executive delivery Neill 

Atkinson said if the museum 

assessment found the 

object was a taonga tūturu, 

the ministry would provide

custody, and undertake a

One of the purposes of 

the act was to reconnect 

newly found taonga tūturu

which is usually iwi or 

hapū in the area of the find, 

Atkinson said. 

“We are in contact 

with Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga about this as 

we try to learn more 

about it. We will continue 

to work with them in 

setting up a plan for its 

care and conservation if 

it is found to be taonga 

tūturu.”

LINCOLN AUTHOR Tania Roxborogh 

is one of 28 finalists in the 2021 New 

Zealand Book Awards for Children and 

Young Adults. 

Roxborogh’s book Charlie Tangaroa 

and the Creature 

from the Sea is 

among titles 

from five 

finalists in the 

Wright Family 

Foundation 

Esther Glen 

Award for junior 

fiction. 

The Lincoln 

High School 

teacher is a 

previous winner 

of the award, for 

My New Zealand 

Story: Bastion Point, in 2017. 

Roxborogh said she was “utterly 

delighted” to have made the finals. 

“I loved writing this novel so much. I 

really got a sense that the main character, 

Charlie, grabbed me by the scruff of the 

neck and demanded that I write his story,” 

she said. 

Thirteen-year-old Charlie is a one-legged 

boy from Tolaga Bay, Gisborne, who is the 

only one able to stand up against a family 

of warring Māori gods. 

Convener of judges Alan Dingley said it 

was clear that the finalists, selected from 

a field of 166 entries, had credited their 

young readers 

with having 

the emotional 

intelligence to 

deal with complex 

themes, issues 

and feelings. 

“The diversity 

of ideas in this 

year’s entries 

really stood out,” 

Dingley said. 

“Dystopian 

futures, 

ecological 

battles and 

immersive fantasy all take the reader into 

new worlds.” 

After Covid-19 made a virtual 

presentation necessary in 2020, finalists 

and publishers are looking forward to 

a ceremony this year. The winners will 

be announced on August 11 at Tiakiwai 

Conference Centre at the National Library 

in Wellington.

NEWS 


A few beers, talk of a rock concert 

David Parlane has a 

smash hit on his hands. 

The former disc jockey 

changed his tune to 

promotions and after 

a couple of quiet beers 

with business partner 

Craig Bradford, Selwyn 

Sounds has developed 

into a resounding 

success. Chris Barclay 

finds out how Lincoln’s 

annual music festival 

stays relevant with 80s 

music 

MUSICALLY, DAVID Parlane 

got his big break between 

midnight and dawn, spinning 

discs for truckies, freight 

train drivers, shift workers 

and insomniacs tuned into 

Palmerston North’s 2XS FM. 

It was the perfect gig for the 

now 56-year-old, an era when 

80s music ruled the radio waves. 

Almost four decades later, those 

tunes still strike a chord for the 

announcer-turned-promoter. 

There can still be sleepless 

nights too, thanks to a global 

pandemic. 

A prime mover behind Lincoln’s 

annual Selwyn Sounds 

day-long music festival, Parlane 

pressed rewind over Queen’s 

Birthday weekend when he returned 

to Palmy for the station’s 

40th anniversary celebrations. 

The trip was a brief respite 

from orchestrating one of the 

province’s enduring concert 

experiences. 

“I started in radio in 1984 in 

a little radio station,” Parlane 

explained. 

“In those days you had to put 

a record on a turntable, cue it up 

and put a weight on it. Then they 

came up with this new thing 

called a CD player.” 

Parlane also took his career in 

a different direction, switching 

to sales and promotions at 2XS, 

then Auckland-based 91FM, and 

Kiwi FM in Hamilton. 

“It’s been in the blood, promotions, 

since way back then. 

PRIME MOVER: David 

Parlane’s love of 80s tunes 

has spanned his career, 

from the graveyard shift on 

radio in Palmerston North, 

to the hugely successful 

Selwyn Sounds, pictured 

here in 2020. 

I always had that feel for events,” 

he said. 

Yet it was publican and now 

business partner Craig Bradford 

who sowed the seeds of the 

town’s very own music festival 

on two rugby fields at Lincoln 

Domain. 

Bradford pointed out that locals 

had to head for Waipara Hills for 

an outdoor concert experience, 

when the rugby club’s headquarters 

was in their own backyard. 

Parlane assumed it was the 

beers talking one night in 2016, 

but Bradford continued to sound 

him out and in March, 2017 the 

festival debuted with Bradford 

and the father-of-three watching 

at close quarters backstage. 

“Craig and I enjoy sitting there 

for the last 15 minutes,” he said. 

“It’s pretty surreal standing 

there looking at who is on the 

stage and then out to the crowd, 

thinking ‘Wow, this is pretty 

cool’.” 

That sense of satisfaction after 

the encore around 8.30pm always 

vindicates the work the duo 

put in to turn scribbles on a beer 

mat into a blueprint for success. 

“There were certainly significant 

hurdles to overcome for the 

first one, the resource consents, 

the council process you have 

to go through, especially when 

something had never been done 

before. Sourcing the talent was 

easy,” Parlane said. 

“When you’re working with 

something that’s new and ‘Hey 

we want to use two rugby fields, 

put a whole lot of people on 

the ground and put up a stage’ 

people go ‘Hang on, I don’t know 

if we can do that. Where’s the 

parking? Where’s the infrastructure?’” 

However, the inaugural event 

played out seamlessly, and the 

resource consent was recently 

extended to 2032. 

Don’t expect the festival to be 

remixed over that time frame. 

Selwyn Sounds will continue to 

sing from the same song sheet, 

Covid-19 permitting. 

“That 80s music has always 

been a key part of how Selwyn 

Sounds has grown to where it is,” 

Parlane said. 

“Our target market is a female, 

35-plus who is going to buy a 

ticket for her and her hubby, a 

couple of mates … and they’re 

going to enjoy a bloody good day 

out, listen to music they grew up 

with while having a few glasses 

of wine or a few beers.” 

The original line-up featured 

Dragon, Mi-Sex, Sharon O’Neill 

and the Jordan Luck Band. 

“Then we moved it up a level 

with Jimmy Barnes, Little River 

Band, Leo Sayer, 10cc, Midge 

Ure and Icehouse,” Parlane said. 

He acknowledged they didn’t 

quite sing from the same song 

sheet this year, when Stan Walker 

stepped in as the headline act 

after Australia-based former 

Noiseworks and INXS frontman 

Jon Stevens - a star of the 2019 

bill - was unable to cross the 

Tasman due to Covid-19 restrictions. 

“Stan’s music’s not from 80s or 

90s but you think of the target - 

females 35-65 and how he sings 

. . . he’s a fantastic artist,” Parlane 

said. 

“It sort of deviated a little bit 

but we still had Jordan Luck, The 

Lady Killers, and Automatic 80s 

are a crowd favourite.” 

The 2022 ensemble has 

reverted to type with Barnes, 

Stevens and Stellar back again, 

with first timers The Choirboys, 

Greg Johnson, Ardijah and UKbased 

Aucklander Rietta Austin, 

a vocalist on BBC reality show 

Strictly Come Dancing. 

Parlane admitted there had 

been one major change required, 

as he grimaced while revisiting 

the beverage distribution fiasco 

of 2018. 

“Year two was a huge learning 

curve,” he said. 

“If somebody had said to me 

you’d be sitting here tomorrow 

at this time and you’ll have nothing 

in your containers or your 

fridges I’d say ‘You’re bloody 

joking. We’ve over-ordered from 

last year, we’ve got 40-50 per cent 

more (alcohol) than last year. No 

way’. Well there was a way. 

“We did six to eight runs to 

bottle shops all around Canterbury. 

Anything cold mate, put it 

on the truck. We brought it back 

and soon as it came off the truck 

it was gone.” 

Fortunately the festival 

survived that sobering 

experience, and two years later 

Parlane and Bradford also 

emerged unscathed from the 

Covid-19 breakout.

NEWS 13 

and the rest is history 

Parlane concedes he initially 

downplayed the threat posed by 

Covid-19. 

“Our biggest thing was ‘Do we 

have enough hand sanitiser for 

the toilets?’ That’s all we were 

thinking. Never in a million 

years did we think we were going 

to be locked down, and three 

weeks later we were in lockdown,” 

he said. 

“They call me the second-luckiest 

promoter in New Zealand. 

We got through it and the weekend 

after there was WOMAD in 

New Plymouth. A week after that 

Homegrown in Wellington never 

happened.” 

Covid-19 forced this year’s 

event to move from a mild early 

March slot to a chilly, blustery 

Saturday in April, a relief for Parlane 

and the community which 

benefits directly or indirectly. 

“April (10) was the sixth of 

eight scenarios. It was getting 

close,” he said. 

Parlane said the festival’s 

benefits were wide-ranging, from 

Lincoln High School to local 

restaurants, hoteliers and other 

accommodation. 

“A thousand cars at $52 (each), 

50 campervans at $10 a night (at 

the school), you’re not going to 

make that sort of money from a 

cake stall,” he said, adding that 

about 20 per cent of tickets were 

sold outside Canterbury. 

Some accommodation for next 

year was already booked solid. 

“It’s a significant economic 

benefit to the community, not 

only from a fundraising point of 

view,” he said. 

Lincoln High School students 

benefit to the tune of about 

$12,000-$15,000 per year, with 

money raised through car parking 

revenue and gatekeeping 

going towards projects, trips and 

facilities. 

They also have free use of stall 

space in the food court to sell 

food hampers. 

“Hand-on-heart here, for a 

lot of our families it can be the 

difference between a kid being 

able to afford to go on a trip 

or not,” said deputy principal 

Kylie Horan. 

“To have that access (to funds) 

can be extremely significant for 

some of our families.” 

School council members scan 

tickets at the entrance, with the 

lump sum provided from that 

used for events at the school, like 

a free sausage sizzle or the purchase 

of benches or picnic tables. 

Although the music might be 

unfamiliar – dated even – Horan 

said it was a popular weekend 

assignment. 

“The kids look forward to it 

each year. They get good money 

from it and they love the hype 

and the vibe around it, especially 

at the gates,” she said. 

“All the community ends up 

getting a slice of the pie,” added 

Lincoln Lizards golden oldies 

rugby president Mark Tweedy. 

“Hotels and motels are fully 

booked, all the cafes and bars 

benefit. It’s not just the rugby 

club that gets a whack of money.” 

The Lincoln Rugby Club is paid 

a fee for power usage and 

their clubrooms. 

“We do the marshalling, 

signage and stuff like that,” 

said Tweedy, who is among a 

core group of 53 people that 

has worked the event since its 

inception. 

A commercial cleaning crew 

work over the weekend to return 

the playing fields to their usual 

state. 

“My brother is in charge of 

the grounds there, when it’s all 

cleaned up he’ll get the pop-up 

sprinklers going to give it a good 

soaking,” Tweedy said. 

The turf is also aerated to aid 

its recovery before the uprights 

and crossbars are reinstalled. 

Asked if he had a wish-list of 

musos for future festivals, Parlane 

didn’t deviate from the vinyl 

and CDs that comprised his playlist 

for the 2XS graveyard slot. 

“There’s heaps of bands I’d 

love to have out here. Devo, Joan 

Jett and the Blackhearts, Duran 

Duran, The Human League, 

Eurythmics … Abba would be 

exceptional,” he said. 

LINE-UP: Jordan Luck (top 

left) has been a regular 

since the festival’s debut in 

2017. Stan Walker (top right) 

broke the 80s-centric mould 

by headlining in 2021, while 

Leo Sayer (above) featured 

in 2019 (photo Shane Jones) 

and 10cc in 2020. 

“Neil Diamond would be great 

... Tom Jones.” 

Dave Dobbyn and or DD 

Smash are household names too, 

while Parlane also has a selection 

that might not resonate. 

“One of my favourite bands is 

The Tubes, they were one of those 

bands that probably had one 

hit. My favourite album is their 

Completion Backward Principle 

(1981),” he said. 

“That album actually got me 

into radio because I did 

a voice track with it for my 

first audition.”

Totara award for Maria; 

$110,000 river upgrade 

LINCOLN ROTARY’S Totara Award 

recipient Maria Mendoza Nieto (centre) 

plants a totara tree at the Lincoln 

Wetlands, assisted by Lincoln Rotary 

youth committee director Fiona Harrall 

(right) and Mihirangi Freeman (left). 

The award recognises significant 

contributions by youth to the life and wellbeing 

of their community. 

Neito has had significant involvement 

with regional youth and environmental 

committees, and has received scholarships 

including Canterbury University’s 

emerging leaders development 

programme scholarship and the AUT Roy 

Geddes Scholarship to attend the London 

International Youth Science Forum. 

Meanwhile, the district council is 

undertaking improvements at the 

wetlands (below). 

Acting major projects manager Phil 

Millar said the district council had 

contracted McLenaghan Contracting to 

reduce steep banks along about 800m 

of LII River, and natural habitats to 

undertake planting of the regraded edges. 

The cost of the project is about $110,000, 

including planning and consent fees.

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in 

entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces a new species found in his 

backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public 

awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things 

around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates 

found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section 

Look for larvae in young apple leaves 

IF YOU have an apple tree or two in your 

backyard, then you may encounter the 

apple leaf midge Dasineura mali. The 

most obvious indication of the midge is 

the tightly rolled young apple leaves that 

contain 3mm long, red, legless larvae. 

This pest has a large distribution 

throughout Europe, North America, 

Argentina and New Zealand. It arrived 

here from Europe in 1950 on imported 

apple stock and has rapidly colonised the 

country. 

Adult flies are 1.5-2.5mm long and have 

hairy, 1.5-2mm-long wings with reduced 

venation. Females have a red abdomen 

while males are smaller and black in colour. 

Females produce pheromones that can 

cause swarms of up to 100 males below 

trees. After mating, eggs are laid in gaps 

between buds and unfolding leaves. Eggs 

are cigar-shaped, orange in colour and 

0.3-0.7mm long. 

Larvae emerge from eggs three-to-six 

days after laying, and feeding causes the 

rolled or folded galls characteristic of this 

pest. 

Rolled leaves may contain just a few 

larvae or as many as several hundred. 

On maturity larvae will either drop into 

soil or crawl down the trunk to pupate 

under bark. Pupae are orange within a 

silk cocoon. Five generations occur in the 

warmer north while fewer occur in the 

South Island.

sun with a full-length verandah running along the north side - a very 

enjoyable place to sit for a coffee and enjoy the amazing views of the 

mountains. Open-plan living, dining and kitchen, family bathroom, 

separate toilet, plus laundry. The home is heated by a free-standing 

log fire and heat pump. 

Out the back of the farm is an old 10m x 3m (approximate) shed. 

Stock and domestic water (six units) comes from the district scheme, 

whilst the irrigation is from Phase 1 of the CPW Scheme.

• By Matt Slaughter 

PETER SMITH is 82-years-old 

and is still part of a rugby team. 

A team of supporters that is. 

The team call themselves the 

Crushers, a group of rugbymad 

Lady Wigram Retirement 

Village residents who get 

together to watch rugby and any 

other sports they are interested 

in. 

Smith said the Crushers have 

followed the Crusaders most 

recent Super Rugby season 

closely, attending two home 

games live and watching the 

others on TV. 

Smith said a recent highlight 

for 17 of the Crushers was 

visiting the Southbridge house 

where Dan Carter grew up, 

seeing the goal posts on the 

section where he used to 

practice kicking, and getting 

a tour of Southbridge’s rugby 

clubrooms. 

About 30 Lady Wigram 

residents are part of the team. 

Some are ardent rugby fans and 

some watch less often. 

Many of the Crushers played 

sport at a high level in their 

younger days, and Smith and 

others still get out to pass the 

rugby ball around. 

Smith trialled for the Kiwis 

rugby league team, other team 

members played senior rugby, 

one played hockey for New 

Zealand and two are golfers 

who have earned red coats for 

representing their clubs for more 

than 25 years. 

Smith is the son of Pat Smith, 

who captained the Kiwis in each 

of his 38 appearances between 

1947-49. 

Smith said members enjoy the 

social aspect of the group and 

the friendships they have made 

through watching rugby and 

other sports. 

“We enjoy the discussion 

and the comradeship and we 

often talk about games that we 


were in and bits and pieces. It 

is the comradeship of having 

something in common, I think 

that’s our biggest thing. 

“Mostly, we’re averaged at 

over 80. The more you can keep 

your mind occupied and [have] 

friendship, it does help you.”

Tens of thousands 

enjoy new sports centre 

More than 36,000 people aged 1–93 years old enjoyed the new Selwyn Sports Centre over the 

first month since it opened. 

Over the month 36,458 people enjoyed a wide range of sports, group fitness and general 

recreation. Selwyn Sports Centre Manager Dave Tippett said the response had been huge. 

Around 5000 people attended the opening family fun day with events and activities in and around 

the Selwyn Sports Centre and Selwyn Aquatic Centre, helping to raise $4403 for the Halberg 

Foundation. The centre is open from 6am-10pm and has been busy all day, every day since, Mr 

Tippett said. 

“We knew there was a need out there and it’s been brilliant to see the way that people have 

embraced the centre. We’ve got baby gym in here right up to our oldest group fitness class 

member at 93 and sports and activities for people all ages in between so it’s a fun space and 

people are loving using it.” 

In the first month over 100 teams played in Selwyn Netball competitions and the Selwyn Hawks 

Basketball had more than 70 junior basketball teams playing at the centre. 

Other sports including badminton and pickleball (a sport similar to tennis and badminton) filled the 

available court space with around 35-40 players a night. Futsal and table tennis are also popular 

activities at the Sports Centre. Over Queen's Birthday weekend the centre hosted the Canterbury 

Floorball Open with 16 teams from around the South Island. 

More than 3500 people attended group fitness classes and over 350 new members signed on to 

group fitness classes. 

Along with the formal classes, club bookings and competitions, there were 1522 casual entries. 

“That’s all people in their own time just wanting to come in, paying the $3 entry fee to shoot some 

hoops, use the walking track, or play other sports like tennis, just making the most of the space.” 

Social netball and volleyball leagues are starting, with other social and community events also 

being planned, and staff will continue to work with the community and trial ideas to make the 

centre available to all potential users. 

Road map for Community Committees confirmed 

The Council has laid out a road map for the reforms of its community committees. 

At last week's Council meeting the Council agreed to a process over the next year, to discharge 46 

committees as committees of Council. 

This will relieve them of the legal responsibilities of being part of Council, while allowing them to keep 

functioning as independent community groups if they wish. 

The Council will work with a remaining 24 committees on their future role and function and continue using 

the strong mechanisms in place for supporting volunteer community groups and community-led initiatives. 

Community Services and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd says the decision is the next step in a 

long project working with the more than 70 committees to ensure communities were best served. 

“Committees of Council have given great service and worked extremely hard for their communities over 

a long time. However, we have reached a point where being committees of Council has shackled some 

of these groups and caused frustrations. Most people agree 70 committees is too many and we need a 

better system.” 

Those frustrations included the restrictions of having to comply with legal requirements such as Health 

and Safety legislation and not being able to submit to the Council’s Annual and Long-Term Plans. 

“We have listened to those frustrations. We want to free groups to advocate for and work in their 

communities without being hampered by those requirements. Volunteer community groups shouldn’t 

have to wait for Council requests or permission to do good things with their community and for their 

community,” Denise says. 

The Council will also work to re-focus the community committees system to create something that 

works for communities into the future. It will continue to work with, and support, the various volunteers, 

sports clubs and user groups keen to give back to their communities in roles associated with reserves, 

community pools and halls. 

“We want committees to have a role representing their communities and we want to continue to be 

engaged, receiving feedback from people on the ground and support community-led initiatives.” 

Flood recovery support continues 

Selwyn Emergency Management is moving to a recovery phase as it 

continues to respond to community needs. 

A local transition period is in place, moving from the state of 

emergency to recovery. 

Civil Defence will continue to work with Selwyn communities and 

other agencies to identify any damage or welfare needs and provide 

information on assistance and support services. 

“We know many people are still suffering from the effects of this 

severe weather event,” says Recovery Manager Al Lawn. 

“Even though we’re moving away from a state of emergency, we 

know that people have been hit hard by flood damage and other 

disruption, in both urban and rural areas across Selwyn. We will 

continue to work to support those affected. 

“I would urge anyone who needs support as a result of this event to 

contact us. Likewise, if people know of friends, family or neighbours 

who have been affected and need help – get in touch and we will do 

what we can to help.” 

Selwyn District Council’s Civil Defence team remains available 

24/7 and can be contacted on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or 

contactus@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Stay safe on the roads this winter 

Winter is back, with a new set of challenges for driving, so we’re 

encouraging drivers to be alert, slow down and increase their 

following distances. 

As the weather changes driving challenges can change quickly with 

fog, ice, snow, rain, shorter daylight hours and sunstrike. 

The district has many shaded areas, which prevent roads 

from thawing on cooler days. Staying alert and taking extra care is 

essential, but winter driving does not have to be dangerous 

or intimidating. 

Preparing your vehicle and adjusting your driving for the conditions 

goes a long way towards ensuring your and others' safety. 

To help you start off safe we’ve created a four step checklist for 

when you start and one for when you’re driving. Before you start your 

car make sure your wiper blades, headlights and tyres are in good 

condition and your windscreen is clear inside and out. 

And when you’re driving – make sure you can see clearly through 

your windows in all directions, watch out for shaded areas on the 

road, keep your distance from the car in front and if the weather is 

bad put your lights on. 

More tips to stay safe 

Plan ahead – check the weather forecast and avoid travel when 

conditions are poor. Slow down, increase following distances 

and be careful around corners and in shady places. 

Driving in the wet 

Stopping distances nearly double on wet roads. Slow down, 

keep a generous following distance, take corners slowly and 

heed road signs. 

Driving in the snow and ice 

Whenever possible, avoid driving in heavy snow. If you cannot 

avoid it, slow down, avoid braking suddenly and carry chains. 

Driving in fog 

Turn on your headlights and keep them on low (dip) beam. Only 

use fog lights when visibility is severely reduced. Slow down 

and keep a generous following distance. 

Driving with sun strike 

Keeping your windscreen clean, inside and out can make the 

difference between seeing someone and not. 

For more tips on safe driving in different winter conditions visit 

our website at selwyn.govt.nz/winterdriving.

SPORT 

• By Chris Barclay 

SOUTHBRIDGE’S management 

had a contingency plan if their 

unbeaten squad slipped up in the 

Luisetti Seeds Cup final, and it 

played out hours after Southern 

provided flood-hit Ashburton 

with a timely boost. 

Ellesmere’s Coleman Shield 

holders headed back to their 

headquarters after a 22-18 loss 

in Hinds on Saturday, not just to 

drown their sorrows. 

“When the boys walked in 

there we made sure they all got 

to stand in front of the Coleman 

Shield and kind of refocus on 

what we have and what we’ve got 

in front of us,” coach Reece Allen 

said. 

“Not to belittle the Luisetti 

Cup but the Coleman Shield is a 

prized possession that hangs on 

our wall at the moment.” 

Southern recovered from an 

early 10-0 deficit to claim the 

Canterbury combined competition 

silverware, the ideal fillip 

after the area was inundated by 

floods. 

Allen was left to rue a sequence 

of missed opportunities as the 

clubs now concentrate on their 

sub union competitions. 

“If it was 17-0 after 20 that 

might have been a bit too far for 

Southern,” he said. 

“We camped on their line and 

there were a couple of chances 

there where we should have done 

a wee bit better.” 

Southern built a 22-13 lead and 

although John McKeefry scored 

heading into the final quarter, 

the usually reliable Shannon 

Donald could not add the extras. 

“We camped up on their line 

for the last five or six minutes 

and if we’d converted that try 

we could have taken a penalty, 

but we were four back and had 

to keep playing,” said Allen, who 

praised Southern’s resilience 

down the stretch. 

“It was a ding-dong battle, and 

the better team won. 


Narrow loss for Southbridge in cup final 

“Southern did a great job to 

get their field into good nick 

considering all the flooding. You 

couldn’t blame the conditions, or 

the officials. 

“It just came down to one or 

two very, very close moments. If 

you can’t seal them . . . that’s the 

way finals go.” 

Southbridge have a bye this 

weekend to recover from their 

first loss of the season, they start 

their Coleman Shield defence 

against Waihora on June 26. 

They already have a leg up on 

their rivals because they carry 

over points earned by Luisetti 

Cup pool wins over Springston, 

Hornby, Darfield and West 

Melton.

Nurse back in the wild ADVERTISEMENT 

SPECIAL OFFER 

KORU NUTRITION 

A few years ago Kathy was 

worried everything would 

all come to a grinding halt. 

A natural go-getter, her love 

for the wild rugged outdoors 

was calling but every form of 

exercise really was taking its 

toll. “I just love to get out into 

nature and push myself, but 

even on the easy rolling walks 

I was struggling to keep up”. 

Nursing responsibilities were 

becoming increasingly harder 

and some of the old climbing 

activities took a back seat. What 

Kathy wasn’t prepared for was 

the feeling that the older she 

got the more her joints needed 

support, that she would have to 

slow down and scarily it all felt 

overwhelming; thankfully this 

didn’t turn out to be the case. 

Now in her seventies, Kathy 

is back out doing what she 

loves whilst still working in the 

nursing home. “All of us work 

hard, and joke around having a 

laugh, then it turns serious and 

they ask me, ‘Seriously Kathy, 

you used to be so worried about 

getting older - what’s changed, 

what is your secret?’” 

“I’ve realised it is actually 

no longer a secret - I was just 

a little slow on the uptake. I 

read a review from legendary 

broadcaster Peter Williams and 

then scrolled through hundreds 

of others on the product Koru 

FX”. 

“It’s a natural rub rather 

than a pill and if Peter finds it 

good, then it must be worth a 

try. I tell you what, the review 

wasn’t wrong. I tried it and 

now I wouldn’t be without it!” 

Koru FX cream by Koru 

Nutrition has become NZ’s #1 

fastest growing topical joint 

support cream. With thousands 

of happy customers, Koru FX 

has set a new bar for joint 

support. 

“I feel like I am back to 

my old self. Last year, I was 

up Mount Taranaki again. I 

wouldn’t be doing that without 

a bottle of Koru FX in my 

pocket. I laughed when I saw 

some cheap knock-offs - I tell 

all my friends, if it’s not Koru 

Fx by Koru Nutrition...it’s not 

real.” 

Containing high quality oils 

like calendula, arnica, manuka 

and peppermint, along with 

12 others, Koru FX provides 

the perfect formulation for 

supporting joints and muscles. 

Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition Ltd, Christchurch. 

Countless doctors and 

pharmacists are recommending 

Koru FX cream due to its 

natural ingredients and fast 

acting delivery. 

If you’re looking for a fastacting 

and long-lasting, natural 

product, harnessing the benefits 

of essential oils, then Koru FX 

is for you. 

Ask for Koru FX cream next 

time you’re in the pharmacy 

and try it for yourself.

IT HAS been baptism by fire for 

members of the new Selwyn Stars 

floorball club, as they participate 

in high-level competition. 

Floorball is fast-paced indoor 

floor hockey played by mixed 

teams. It has been able to expand 

into the district now that facilities 

are available at the new Selwyn 

Sports Centre at Rolleston. 

Selwyn Stars is just a few weeks 

old, but that did not stop four of its 

members from competing at the 

Canterbury Floorball Open 2021, 

an annual nationwide tournament 

run by Canterbury Floorball. 

Richard McGlashen, 43, of 

West Melton, Mikayla Young, 

13, of Rolleston, Sam King, 16, 

of Rolleston, and Jan Vlk, 36, of 

Rolleston, played as the Christchurch 

Quakes in the tournament. 

Canterbury Floorball is the 

umbrella organisation for the 

Selwyn Stars and fellow floorball 

club, the Christchurch Quakes, 

formed in 2014. 

Canterbury Floorball 

development manager Cherie 

King said it was hoped that by 

next year the Selwyn Stars would 

have developed to such a level that 

it could have its own team in 

the competition. 

Canterbury Floorball Open 

2021 had been hosted in Selwyn 

for the first time, on June 5 and 

6. Sixteen teams from seven 

national clubs played 48 games. 

Winner of the open grade for 

players 13 years and upwards was 

the Hamilton Floorball Club. 

Winner of the elite grade for 

players 16 years and upwards was 

the Wellington Storm Catchers. 

“This is the largest floorball 

tournament to be held in the 


New sports centre sees 

floorball skyrocket

South Island, made possible by 

the investment in a floorball 

rink by Selwyn District Council, 

which is only the second floorball 

rink in the South Island,” King 

said. 

“The venue was well received 

by the teams and allowed for a 

great community connection 

between the various club 

players, that we have not 

experienced to the same level 

at other tournaments.” 

LEMONWOOD Grove School 

pupil Chinaku Mutonhori was 

overjoyed to meet her netball 

idol, Tactix captain Jane Watson. 

The nine-year-old from 

Rolleston won the chance to meet 

Watson, as well as fellow captain 

Clare Kersten of Pulse, on centre 

court at Christchurch Arena, 

prior to the Tactix vs Pulse ANZ 

Premiership game on June 5. 

Chinaku said she was wowed 

by the Tactix 55-52 win, 

especially after the Pulse’s gain in 

the final few minutes. 

“I felt tense at the end, and then 

a bit relieved,” Chinaku said. 

“Jane was great on defence, she 

jumped heaps.” 

Chinaku also led the teams 

onto the court prior to the game. 

She won the prize in the ANZ

“The ball came rolling near 

where our seats were. We were 

so close to the court we could see 

the players’ emotions,” Chinaku 

said. 

“The players were very tall. 

On TV they look to be average 

height. 

“We were sitting court-side, 

and not far from us were the 

Tactix coaches and reserves. We 

could hear them yelling about 

attack and defense. Everyone 

looked tense but excited.

she said.

FOOD 


Use garlic and onions to jazz up roast 

Sunday roasts are 

a traditional Kiwi 

favourite. Try adding 

some powerful flavours 

for a change that 

should please the 

whole family 

Roast beef with garlic and 

onions 

Ingredients 

1.5kg rolled roast beef 

2 medium onions 

2 carrots 

2 sticks celery 

1 bulb of garlic 

1 bunch of mixed fresh herbs , 

such as thyme, rosemary, bay, 

sage 

olive oil 

Directions 

Remove the beef from the 

fridge 30min before you want to 

cook it, to let it come up to room 

temperature. 

Preheat the oven to 240 deg C. 

Wash and roughly chop the 

vegetables – there’s no need 

to peel them. Break the garlic 

bulb into cloves, leaving them 

unpeeled. 

Pile all the veges, garlic and 

herbs into the middle of a large 

roasting tray and drizzle with oil. 

Drizzle the beef with oil and 

season well with sea salt and 

black pepper, then rub all over 

the meat. Place the beef on top of 

the vegetables. 

Place the tray in the oven, 

then turn the heat down 

immediately to 200 deg C 

and cook for 1 hour for 

medium beef. If you prefer it 

medium-rare, take it out five to 

10min earlier. For well done, 

leave it in for another 10 

to 15min. 

If you’re doing roast potatoes 

and veges, this is the time to 

crack on with them – get them 

into the oven for the last 45min 

of cooking. 

Baste the beef halfway through 

cooking and if the veges look dry, 

add a splash of water to the tray 

to stop them from burning. 

When the beef is cooked 

to your liking, take the tray out of 

the oven and transfer the beef to 

a board to rest for 15min. Cover 

it with a layer of tin foil and a tea 

towel and leave 

aside while you make your 

gravy, horseradish sauce and 

yorkshire puddings. 

Baked chicken breasts 

Ingredients 

4 tablespoons olive oil 

3 tablespoons honey 

2 tablespoons whole grain 

mustard 

1 tablespoon smooth and mild 

Dijon mustard 

4 cloves garlic, peeled and 

minced 

1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon 

juice 

1/2 teaspoon paprika 

2 pounds (1 kg) boneless skinless 

chicken breasts, (4 large 

chicken breasts) 

Salt and cracked black pepper, 

to season 

2 tablespoons fresh chopped 

parsley, to garnish (optional) 

Lemon wedges, to serve 

(optional) 

Directions 

Onions roast 

up well in 

the oven 

with beef, 

don’t forget 

to garnish 

with herbs 

before 

serving. 

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. 

Lightly grease a baking tray/ 

sheet with oil and line with foil or 

parchment paper. 

Combine the oil, honey, 

mustards, garlic, lemon juice 

and paprika in a small bowl to 

combine well. 

Place the chicken onto the 

prepared baking sheet (tray). 

Season generously with salt and 

pepper. Spoon three-quarters 

of the honey mustard mixture 

evenly over the chicken and 

spread evenly all over each 

breast. Pour a quarter of a cup of 

water onto the baking sheet to 

prevent burning, creating a sauce 

while baking. 

Bake until cooked through 

(about 20-30min, depending 

on the thickness of the breasts). 

Spoon the remaining sauce over 

each breast and broil (or grill) for 

a further three-to-four minutes 

on medium-high heat to brown 

the chicken and caramelise the 

edges. 

Cover with foil and allow to 

rest for 10min to let the juices 

settle before serving. 

Garnish with parsley and serve 

immediately with lemon wedges. 

Notes 

To include roasted asparagus, 

arrange them onto the same 

baking sheet around the chicken 

in the last 10 minutes of cooking 

time. Rotate them in the pan 

juices or pan sauce and season 

with salt and pepper.

GARDENING 


Plenty to keep you warm in the garden 

GROWTH: June is a safe month to plant ornamental or fruit 

trees. Don’t forget to use compost. 

JUNE NORMALLY brings rain 

and cold weather, but there is still 

plenty to do in the garden such as 

pruning and planting trees. 

Here are some top tasks to keep 

you busy and warm. 

Now is the time to start planting 

any pip and stone fruit trees. 

New young trees are now available 

in garden centres; ensure you 

select healthy looking specimens. 

Consider your planting areas 

carefully, making sure your young 

tree has full exposure to the sun 

and is sheltered from strong prevailing 

winds. 

For existing pip and stone fruit 

trees, you can now begin pruning. 

Try to keep the tree height 

under three metres to allow for 

easier harvesting and netting of 

trees where birds are a problem. 

June is also a safe time to plant 

new ornamental trees and shrubs. 

Planting technique is important to 

allow new plants to thrive in both 

climatic extremes for example wet 

winters and hot dry summers. 

Also incorporate plenty of compost 

into the soil when planting 

new specimens. Spread compost 

around existing trees and shrubs 

to give them a boost. 

Continue to keep sowing and 

planting winter veges such as 

broccoli, cabbage cauliflower, 

peas and spinach to ensure a 

continuous supply. 

PRICKLY: Get out the gloves and secateurs, it’s now time 

to prune roses. 

Protect empty garden beds by 

sowing green manure crops for 

example lupins. They protect the 

top soil from wind and water erosion 

and add organic matter back 

to the soil when dug in. Wait till 

they are about 15-20cm high then 

chop up with a spade as you dig 

them back into the soil. 

Prune roses when all the leaves 

have fallen and apply a winter 

clean up spray of copper oxychloride 

or lime sulphur after 

pruning. Remove and destroy 

any diseased wood after pruning. 

Replace any rose specimens that 

have not performed adequately or 

were heavily infected with black 

spot or rust during the growing 

season. Choose new varieties 

from catalogues or visit your local 

gardening centre. 

June is an excellent time to plan 

new gardens in your property in 

preparation for spring planting. It 

is a good idea to monitor future 

garden areas for cold winds and 

excessive moisture, as both conditions 

will influence what you can 

plant in that area. 

Plant new shelter belts and or 

hedges where they are required. 

Use your outdoor living areas 

all year round 

• Warm & dry in winter 

• UV protection for summer 

• Stylish & permanent 

• 5 year warranty

Many ways to help 

flood recovery 

Central Canterbury farmers and 

landowners walloped by one of the worst 

floods in decades can register for help 

with cleaning up their properties through 

the Government’s Enhanced Taskforce 

Green (ETFG) scheme. 

The Government is offering councils and 

approved agencies $500,000 to hire job 

seekers to help with clean-up activities, 

such as clearing debris. 

The funding is expected to help councils 

match people willing to help with work 

that needs to be done. 

“Cantabrians are great at lending a hand 

to neighbours in need, and I encourage 

any farmers or landowners who need 

help clearing debris or with other flood 

damage-related work to register for help,” 

Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency 

Management Group Controller Neville 

said. 

Selwyn Civil Defence is also pitching in 

for flood recovery, preparing a plan for 

collection and disposal of on-farm waste 

caused by flood damage. 

Landowners and managers are asked to 

please separate domestic and farm waste 

into two piles, or slips if available, 

One container should be for domestic/ 

household waste, and the other for farm 

items and infrastructure such as fencing, 

silage and baleage wrap. 

For lifestyle and small block holders 

who may need to dispose of animals 

or dead stock, the council recommend 

animals should be buried at least 100m 

away from any surface water body (river 

or lake), marine area, water bores (bury 

downstream, not upstream) and away 

from a property boundary 

Disposal sites should also be 3m above 

the seasonal high-water table and covered 

with at least 0.5m of soil. 

For multiple burials, it’s better to use 

several smaller pits, rather than larger, 

deep single pits. If you do not have 

suitable equipment, or need assistance 

with disposal, please contact Selwyn 

Civil Defence on 0800 SELWYN 

(0800 735 996). 

The Ministry for Primary Industries 

(MPI) has support available for farmers 

who need help sourcing supplementary 

feed or grazing for your livestock. 

Contact the Feed Coordination Service 

on 0800 FARMING (0800 327 646) and 

follow the voice prompts. Alternatively, 

visit www.mpi.govt.nz/funding-ruralsupport/adverse-events/dealing-withfloods/#support 

For help with farm animal welfare 

contact MPI on 0800 00 83 33. 

For pets, horses and lifestyle block 

animals, the SPCA has a contact line for 

those affected by the floods. Phone 

03 349 7057 for assistance with relocating 

animals, sourcing animal feed and 

other needs. If you have property or 

infrastructure damage on your farm, 

contact your insurer initially. 

Job seekers interested in helping 

the Canterbury flood recovery can 

register their interest by phoning 

0800 559 009, while farmers and 

growers can self-register for cleanup

Flood factsheets readymade 

for disaster 

FARM 

FACT SHEET 

SEPTEMBER 2017 

National farming agencies are rallying 

to sweeten the “bitter blow” of the 

Canterbury floods, leaning on experience 

of previous storms. 

Obvious priorities for relief agencies 

include getting damaged infrastructure 

repaired and feed supplies organised. 

Beef + Lamb New Zealand Sam 

McIvor said it would be a bitter blow for 

farmers to lose valuable feed crops and 

supplementary feed at the outset of winter, 

straight after an extended dry period. 

As well as supporting the sector-wide 

initiatives, B+LNZ has a number of 

useful flood recovery resources available, 

developed after previous floods to help 

farmers prepare for rain events and deal 

with both the immediate and long-term 

consequences. 

Recovering from a Flood covers four 

aspects of the business; people, livestock, 

operational and land; and provides 

timelines and action-plans around each. 

The material also includes a decision 

tree and a detailed guide for re-grassing 

sediment. 

The Health and Safety Post-Flood 

outlines farmers’ responsibilities when 

dealing with a volunteer workforce, 

covers-off the regulatory requirements 

for farmers and volunteers- and provides

practical advice on ensuring everyone’s 

safety in what can be a dangerous 

environment. 

For farmers operating in flood-prone 

areas, the Preparing for a Flood factsheet 

gives farmers a checklist on what to do in 

an extreme rain event as well as outlining 

measures to help mitigate production 

losses due to flooding. 

McIvor urged all affected farmers to 

We are here 

get in touch with the support services 

available, including a farm clean-up help 

line, a feed line and Rural Support Trust. 

There were a number of people, 

including volunteers, willing to get out 

and help, so it was important farmers 

put their hands up and register their 

requirements through 0800Farming or on 

the links provided below. “Going through 

these channels will ensure that farmers

RECOVERING FROM 

A FLOOD 

This fact sheet will help you prioritise 

tasks during the immediate aftermath of 

a flood. It also provides guidance around 

what needs to be done in the weeks and 

months following, particularly if you are 

dealing with silt and/or slips. 

PEOPLE 

Immediate priorities 

1. Is everyone accounted for: family, staff and 

neighbours? 

2. Are homes safe? 

3. Check if power and phones are working. Report 

any outages (see contacts on page 8). 

4. Watch out for new hazards: the lie of the land 

will be different; and stressed livestock are 

unpredictable to handle. 

5. Consider appointing a Crisis Manager to handle 

people-related matters. There’s an excellent health 

and safety post-flood pamphlet about how to 

safely make best use of volunteers (see B+LNZ 

resources on page 8). 

During the first week 

1. Look after your physical and mental health. 

2. Eat well. 

3. Take breaks, when you can. 

4. Accept help. 

5. Keep in regular contact with your neighbours and 

work in with each other, where you can. 

LIVESTOCK 

Immediate priorities 

1. Are stock safe? 

2. Check fences. 

3. If possible, move stock to where there is shelter, 

such as trees. 

4. Check they have access to clean water. If not, 

move them to a paddock with a reliable water 

supply or set up a portable trough. 

5. Ensure adequate feed, but be careful stock don’t 

overeat any newly-introduced feed (introduce new 

feed in limited amounts to reduce the risk of acidosis). 

6. Monitor pasture for excess silt. Silt intake can 

cause ketosis and scouring (check flooded troughs 

for excess silt, also). 

7. Keep an eye out for stressed stock, e.g. lone animals 

that have wandered away from other stock, lethargic 

stock, or stock running up and down fence lines.

get the skilled help they need for their 

particular needs,” he said. 

For the record, McIvor singled out 

Federated Farmers for particular praise 

“in leading the sector’s response on the 

ground.” 

B+LNZ itself was also working with 

DairyNZ, the Ministry for Primary 

Industries, the Rural Support Trust and 

a number of other agencies to provide 

farmers with the help they need, McIvor 

said.

Plenty of appeal in base model Yaris Cross 

I’D NEVER BE put off by entrylevel 

cars if a range has several 

variants. 

Sure, there’s a lot of exciting 

technology in the high-spec, top 

grade models, but in this modern 

age all new vehicles have bling - 

features and enough gadgetry to 

satisfy. 

Take, for example, Toyota’s 

Yaris Cross, it’s a range that starts 

at $29,990 for a petrol-only GX 

model. For my money that’s good 

buying for a vehicle that looks like 

an SUV, but given its compact size 

is probably best described as a 

crossover model, a large hatchback 

which caters well for the 

small family. 

The Yaris Cross is also available 

in a higher grade – Limited - but 

that is a $38,990 hybrid model, 

although there is also a GX hybrid 

that lists at $33,990. As I’ve alluded 

to, GX grade is perfect for 

someone who doesn’t need overly 

flashy. 

It’s important to note, though, 

the GX grade still includes a raft 

of technology included in the 

Toyota Safety Sense suite of kit. 

I evaluated the Yaris Cross 

hybrid in these columns in March 

and liked its trendy style and 

involving driving dynamics – the 

hybrid system is coupled to a willing 

three-cylinder 1.5-litre engine 

that charms with its response and 

characteristics. 

That same engine powers the 

petrol-only model. It’s fair to say 

that in the Yaris Cross’ case I’m 

torn between hybrid and nonhybrid, 

each variant has its own 

merits, and it’s fair to say the 

hybrid would probably win out in 

my situation. However, the petrolonly 

model will save you a bit of 

cash it you can’t come up with the 

$4k to buy into the hybrid. 

As an aside, the entire Yaris 

range is powered by the new 

driveline, and I’m yet to be disappointed 

with the new configuration 

from Toyota. 

Developing 88kW and 145Nm, 

the outputs are reached a little 

tall in the rev band (6600 and 

4800rpm respectively), but threecylinder 

units develop a lot of 

natural torque and you end up 

with solid acceleration and easy 

motion at highway speed. 

The Yaris Cross won’t set any 

speed records, but it will reach 

100km/h from a standstill in 

TOYOTA YARIS CROSS GX: Well-equipped for a budget price. 

under 12sec and plough through 

a highway overtake (80-120km/h) 

in 7.5sec. If you are brave enough 

to risk your licence, the petrolonly 

Yaris Cross is also listed with 

a 180km/h top speed. 

Drive is channelled to the front 

wheels through a continuously 

variable transmission. There are 

no surprises there, Toyota has 

developed CVT well so it works 

almost like a traditional automatic. 

The benefit is little drain on the 

engine, power that isn’t wasted 

through a torque converter. As 

a consequence, Toyota claims 

some quite startling fuel usage 

figures for the Yaris Cross, that’s 

no surprise, when I evaluated the 

standard Yaris, the wee three-potter 

was an absolute fuel miser. 

The Yaris Cross is listed with 

a 5.4-litre per 100km combined 

cycle average. That fits well with 

the readout on the evaluation 

car – 7l/100km. That figure was 

helped by a long highway drive, 

the engine turning over freely 

at 2100rpm at 100km/h, returning 

an instantaneous figure of 

4l/100km. 

I had an item to pick up in the 

McKenzie Country, so the Yaris 

Cross was presented with the fabulous 

State Highway 72 scenic route 

for the round trip. It cruises well 

with little noise intrusion and an 

amazingly comfortable ride. The 

suspension is all class, even given 

there’s a tube beam rear axle tying 

the two rear wheels together. That 

aside, the spring and damper rates 

are a perfect compromise between 

ride comfort, absorbing road ripples 

and containing body balance 

in a corner. 

• Price – Toyota Yaris Cross 

GX, $29,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4180mm; width, 1765mm; 

height, 1590mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1490cc, 88kW, 

145Nm, continuously 

variable automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.4l/100km 

It’s not often you get a clean run 

through the twisty, hilly section 

leading in and out of Fairlie, but I 

scored that section free of traffic on 

my return journey and punted the 

Yaris Cross through there with a 

bit of motion. I can report it steers 

beautifully through its Bridgestone 

tyres (205/65 x 16in), directional 

change is accurate and the entire 

car is composed under pressure. 

The GX Yaris Cross is aimed at 

the budget buyer but those people 

will still feel as if they have scored 

a bargain. Major features include 

full electrics, radar cruise control 

and multi-function steering wheel. 

It’s been a heady year or so 

for Toyota New Zealand, new 

models have landed constantly 

and the choice for the Toyota 

buyer has never been better. The 

Yaris Cross is just one model 

in a comprehensive range. I 

particularly like the concept and I 

particularly like the entry-level 

model.

DON’T MISS OUT 

ON THIS EXCITING 

NEW STAGE! 

Careful consideration was given to the existing 

properties on site and all five will be relocated 

to south Canterbury and repurposed. If you’re 

wondering who’s moving in, scouting for tenants 

is currently underway but it’s likely that we’ll be 

seeing the likes of a micro-brewery (which will 

certainly be popular), a Thai/ Vietnamese/Malaysian 

dine-in restaurant, an Italian dine-in restaurant has 

expressed interest, four small format retail outlets 

providing a good mix of tastes and services (think 

burgers, pizza, fish & chips, butcher), and a state-ofthe-art 

gym (who already has other successful and 

established locations). 

The final site is yet to be confirmed but given its 

huge size will likely attract some exciting options 

for locals. A second storey commercial space was 

considered but research indicated it wouldn’t be 

successful, plus it would be counterproductive to the 

provided parking facilities. There will be a carwash 

located in the carpark, likely to provide a groomwhile-you-shop 

experience. And with the modern 

world moving towards more use of electric vehicles, 

it’s also possible that charging stations will be made 

available for residents. 

The developers have been working alongside Selwyn 

District Council to ensure a good cross section of 

opportunities are made available, and that it aligns 

with the Council’s plan for Rolleston. You can expect 

construction to start sometime in August, with a 

planned opening around June 2022.

Timeless country living 

Adored by the same family since it was built many

Kilrea, will hold immense appeal for buyers seeking the

1.7ha of pastoral land in the heart of the Selwyn 

District, the character-filled homestead blends original 

details including leadlight windows and timber fire 

surrounds with more recent enhancements, but plenty 

of scope remains to further refresh the decor to create 

a home that meets the demands of modern family life.

[Edition datE] 

Four things you MUST 

do before buying a home 

Buying a home is a big deal. It’s likely to be the most expensive thing you buy, 

and it can be a complicated legal process. It might be tempting to take a few 

shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could cause more problems later. 

Here are our top four tasks for home 

buyers. 

1. Research the property 

The real estate agent selling the 

property acts on behalf of the seller, 

however they are also required to 

tell you everything they know about 

the property. They must respond 

professionally to all your enquiries and 

not withhold any details. Remember 

that you still need to do your own 

due diligence. That means getting a 

title search so you can find out all the 

facts about the property’s ownership, 

boundary and access, as held by Land 

Information New Zealand (LINZ). It’s 

a good idea to get a Land Information 

Memorandum (LIM), which shows 

information held by the local council 

about the property and land. For 

valuable feedback on the property’s 

condition, get a report done by 

an inspector who has professional 

indemnity insurance and carries out 

their work in accordance with the New 

Zealand Property Inspection Standard. 

Although this all costs money, it will 

save you more in the long term. Sellers 

may occasionally provide some of this 

information for you. If this happens, 

check that it is up-to-date. 

2. Get legal advice 

Buying property is expensive, and it 

can cost even more if something goes 

wrong. That’s why it’s important to get 

legal advice before you sign anything. 

A lawyer will handle all the paperwork 

involved in the process, including the 

title search, and offer impartial advice. 

If you don’t have a lawyer, the New 

Zealand Law Society can help you find 

one at propertylawyers.org.nz. 

3. Understand the sale process 

There are several methods of buying 

and selling property, for example, 

tender or auction. It’s important to 

understand the process for the property 

you are buying. Practices can vary 

between agencies so make sure you 

confirm details with them. The Home 

Buyer’s Guide at buyingahome.reaa. 

govt.nz has more helpful advice. 

4. Read the sale and purchase 

agreement and understand what it 

means 

The sale and purchase agreement 

is your contract with the seller. It is 

crucial to read it very carefully and get 

legal advice before you sign. You can 

negotiate the terms and conditions of 

an agreement, but once you sign it, 

there’s no going back. 

List your home with us, 

we will save you thousands.

DemandFOR 

LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES 

IN CANTERBURY 

CONTINUES! 

Greg Roberts 

Licensed Business Owner 

Even as the leaves disappear and frost settles over the fields, there is no 

denying the appeal of lifestyle properties throughout Canterbury. Stars 

stretch across the sky on crisp, black nights, while by day the snowy 

Southern Alps line the horizon. 

The appeal is also evident in the continued strength of our local market, it 

is early days since the current government introduced measures to stem 

growth in the booming property market, but typically our lifestyle and rural 

buyers are seeking to invest in the enjoyment of their life rather than as a 

speculative investment, as such demand shows very little indications of 

diminishing. 

This is our domain, with eight offices spanning the region, at Harcourts 

Four Seasons we have nearly 105 sales staff, including more than 20 who 

specialise in rural and lifestyle properties. 

Our co-owner Greg Roberts says the economies of scale inherent in being 

part of the country’s leading real estate brand have important benefits for 

clients, as our agents are equipped with the latest data, first-class training, 

But just as important for Harcourts Four Seasons’ consistently 

above-market results has been the customer-centric approach of our team, 

he says. 

“Given the improvements to the roading network into and outof 

Christchurch, we’re confident in the continued popularity of rural 

lifestyle properties.” 

“Our rural/lifestyle agents have all owned, lived or worked on lifestyle 

properties or farms, and they’re all active in their local communities,” Greg 

explains. “It’s what we’re all about.” 

We hold a dominant position in the rural-lifestyle market, with a territory 

running from Hanmer Springs, through Christchurch, to Lincoln.
