Call for cycleway after 

riders 

hit by 

vehicles 

A LINCOLN University student is 

backing calls for a cycleway to be given 

urgency on the township’s busy Gerald 

St. 

Ye Yuan was lucky to escape serious injuries 

when she was knocked off her bike 

two years ago by a motorist who failed to 

stop for her as he was turning right into 

Challenge Lincoln. 

Now Lincoln University ecologist Mike 

Bowie has suffered the same fate as he 

biked to work. He was left with a cracked 

helmet and suspected broken rib. 

But work on a dedicated cycleway 

won’t start until the 2027/28 financial 

year which Bowie and Yuan say is 

“absurd.”

is in the news for the wrong 

reasons this week. 

Mike was knocked of his 

bike on Gerald St, Lincoln, 

which he says has become 

super dangerous for cyclists. 

He wants the district 

council to repriortise a 

planned cycleway which 

won’t now be put in until the

A TEENAGER has been 

interviewed over the assault 

of a Prebbleton pensioner in 

January. 

Police have focused on 

a group of teenagers from

Police talk to teenager over assault 


POLICE HAVE made a major 

breakthrough in a spate of car 

thefts in the district – some of 

which were used to ram parked 

vehicles for fun. 

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker 

said police were speaking 

to a number of youths who 

“are assisting us with our 

investigation.” 

The offending began about two 

months ago, he said. 

There were a number of youths 

involved from Selwyn, breaking 

into and stealing cars in the 

district and in Christchurch. 

“The number of vehicles would 

be well into double figures,” 

Harker said. 

The youths were also allgedly 

responsible for ramming a 

number of vehicles parked on 

the roadside in Lincoln. 

There had also been vehicles 

stolen from around Christchurch 

and left abandoned in Lincoln 

and the surrounding areas. 

“This is still under 

investigation. No charges have 

been laid as yet and we are still 

collating all of the offences,” 

Harker said. 

The Selwyn Times understands 

being broken into. 

A youth aged about 16 to 18 

was holding a petrol can. Three 

other youths ran from the 

shed and the elderly man was 

punched in the eye. 

Youth crime unit Constable 

the teenagers have been copycatting 

a trend in other parts of 

New Zealand, where groups of 

youths target specific cars, steal 

them and then brag about their 

exploits. 

Harker would not say how 

police were able to identify the 

Patrick Sullivan in Christchurch 

said police had followed 

up on a tip after the screening 

of Police Ten 7. 

“We have spoken with and 

will be speaking to more people 

of interest,” Sullivan said. 

Car theft breakthrough 

group believed to be responsible 

for the thefts and vehicle 

ramming in Selwyn. 

Police have been extremely 

worried a member of the public 

would be injured or worse 

because of the teenagers’ antics. 

A Lincoln resident told the 

Selwyn Times he was out for his 

regular nightly walk two weeks 

ago when a vehicle almost lost 

control on Southfield Drive. 

He had been subsequently told 

it was likely to have been stolen. 

“I could hear it coming. As it 

approached Ryelands Drive from 

the Te Whariki end, the driver 

almost lost it. I stopped (on the 

footpath) as it came towards me. 

I could see its right wheels lift 

slightly and I thought: ‘It’s going 

to flip’. 

“I knew I’d have a split second 

to decide which way I was going 

to go to avoid it. But the driver 

held the car down and it kept 

going at pace along Southfield.”

Altering 

supermarket 

labels earns 

man trespass 


A 65-YEAR-OLD Selwyn man 

has admitted altering labels on 

goods at a local supermarket, 

police say. 

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker 

said in the last few months the 

man had swapped labels on 

goods on about 14 occasions, in 

order to get the benefit of lower 

prices. 

“Customers need to be 

aware that the self-serve checkout’s 

computer systems and 

cameras are very smart,” Harker 

said. 

Checkout computer systems 

not only work on weight to pick 

up discrepancies, but also barcodes, 

products and labels. 

The goods were a variety of 

products, mainly those packaged 

in-house. 

CCTV footage was also used. 

“Once identified, it is a simple 

exercise for the supermarket 

staff to review transactions 

and security cameras,” Harker 

said. 

The alleged offender will 

appear before a community 

justice panel, or the district 

court. He has also been 

trespassed from the supermarket 

for two years.

WELL-KNOWN academic Mike 

Bowie says a delay in putting 

a cycleway through Lincoln is 

“totally absurd.” 

Bowie was left with a cracked 

helmet and suspected broken rib 

after he was knocked off his bike 

on his way to work at Lincoln 

University on July 19. 

He is now calling on the 

district council to reprioritise its 

time line for a planned cycleway 

along Gerald St. 

The cycleway won’t start until 

the 2027-28 financial year after 

the district council decided to 

make roading projects in Rolleston 

more urgent. 

Waka Kotahi New Zealand 

Transport Agency crash data 

shows since the early 

2000s, there has been one 

serious injury and 10 minor 

injury crashes involving bicycles 

on Gerald St. 

“It is totally absurd that it 

should take so long to adopt this 

cycleway that is badly needed. I 

challenge the councillors to bike 

down to the university from the 

township in peak time and see 

how many close calls they have 

over a week,” Bowie said. 

“I am very disappointed the 

council has decided to prioritise 

Rolleston yet again, particularly 

when the need for this cycle lane 

was identified so 

long ago.”

Bowie said he is among many

“I was lucky on this occasion, 

but I fear someone will die with 

increasing traffic and congestion 

in Lincoln,” Bowie said. 

“Not a week goes by without at 

least one incident or close call,” he 

said. 

District council group manager 

infrastructure Murray Washington 

said the Gerald St upgrade, 

which includes dedicated cycle 

lanes from the township to the 

university, would begin in 2027/28. 

This upgrade is part of the Lincoln 

Town Centre plan to begin 

2025/26. The plan was adopted by 

the district council in 2016. 

Washington said funding 

for the town centre plan was 

signalled in the 2015-2025 Long 

Term Plan. However, for the 2018- 

2028 Long Term Plan, the district 

council agreed to prioritise major 

roading projects in the Rolleston 

town centre.

DAFFODIL DAY: John Chamberlain with daughters Courtney and Jess and baby John 

at Hadstock Farm. 

Growing daffodils a family affair 

SPRINGSTON flower grower 

John Chamberlain and his 

family at Hadstock Farm 

are preparing for the Cancer 

Society’s Daffodil Day on 

August 27. 

Hadstock Farm supplies 

most of the daffodils for the 

society’s annual fresh flower 

fundraiser for the entire 

South Island – about 30,000 

bunches. 

The society sells bunches of 

daffodils to businesses across 

New Zealand. 

“Judging the volume required 

and making sure the daffodils 

are flowering for that time of 

the year is a bit of a challenge,” 

Chamberlain said. 

“We grow approximately 40 

different varieties of daffodils 

and have imported some earlier 

flowering varieties to ensure 

that we have flowers ready in 

time for August.” 

Chamberlain said that 

Hadstock Farm had been supplying 

flowers to the society for 

about 30 years. This year it also 

supplied bulbs for the Cancer 

Society to sell in February and 

March. 

“I think they are wonderful 

people to deal with,” 

Chamberlain said. 

Hadstock Farm has been 

owned by the Chamberlain 

family since 1876. 

Chamberlain’s grandson, 

also named John, is the seventh 

generation of the family 

associated with the farm. His 

daughters Courtney and Jess 

both work on the farm, as do 

other family members. 

“We started growing tulips in 

1937 and then daffodils in the 

1950s,” Chamberlain said. 

“For daffodils, we start 

picking them at the end of May, 

and then the last of the varieties 

finish flowering by mid to late 

October,” Courtney said.

SECTION PRICES have 

doubled in Rolleston in the last 

year. 

Section sales in the town 

and wider district appear to be 

bucking a nationwide trend of a 

gradual reduction to the rate of 

increase to real estate prices. 

CoreLogic NZ’s house price 

index showed last week that the 

nationwide 

growth figure 

dropped from 

7.2 per cent at 

the end of June 

to 5.9 per cent 

at the end of 

July. 

Matson and 

Allan Real 

Estate Ltd 

director Chris 

Flanagan said there was currently 

no indication of Selwyn’s 

section price rises slowing. 

He had not seen the market so 

buoyant and aggressive in the 

about 35 years he had been selling 

in the district. 

“Even in the last two to three 

months, it’s just sort of gone a bit 

crazy really,” Flanagan said. 

The high prices at Rolleston 

were encouraging potential buyers 

to look further afield, and the 

increases were reflected across 

the district. 

“There’s been a significant 

increase in section prices, 

Rolleston, Leeston, Dunsandel, 

Darfield, it’s right across the 

board,” Flanagan said. 

Examples included the 32-section 

Hanks Run at Rolleston. 

Sections in stage one, with an 

average size of 750 sq m, sold 

for an average price of $361,000 

about two months ago. Sections 

in stage two, with an average 

size of 695 sq m, sold for an 

average of $385,000 per section 

about four weeks ago. Six to 12 

months prior, sections of that 

type and size were selling for 

$170,000 to $180,000. 

Soon the agency would be 

selling some 700 to 800 sq m 

sections on Brookside Rd on 

behalf of the district council, 

and it was possible they would

fetch more than the Hanks Run 

sections. 

In Dunsandel, the Dunsandel 

Estate subdivision had 29 sections 

averaging 900 sq m with 

an average price of $235,000. 

Twelve months ago they would 

have been worth $160,000. 

At Darfield, the agency had 

just sold stage three of Torlesse 

Estate, which had sections ranging 

from 2000 to 5000 sq m. 

Stage three had nine sections, 

there had been an average of 

four offers received for each, 

and the price they sold for was 

$350,000 to $400,000. 

Darfield was getting more

His company had not had any 

recent section sales at Lincoln 

and Prebbleton, but strong 

residential house sales indicated 

those townships were generally 

following the same trend as the 

rest of the district. 

Buyers in the district ranged 

from locals wanting to upsize 

and build, to building companies 

wanting to take house and 

land packages to the market. 

“It’s purely a supply and 

demand thing, there’s a real 

shortage of sections and people 

are paying top dollar for them,” 

Flanagan said. 

“Even building companies 

are prepared to go a bit further 

afield now to secure sections.”

bridge across the highway is to 

allow the highway traffic to flow 

and that traffic can cross the 

highway and railway from and to 

Rolleston without disruption. 

The main benefactors will 

be the highway traffic and the 

local people will have to put up 

with the inconvenience of the 

proposed bridge. 

The proposed bridge will not 

provide for traffic to enter the 

highway from Rolleston towards 

Christchurch. 

The proposed plan is a convoluted 

mess, especially for traffic 

wanting to travel from Rolleston 

to the south side of Jones Rd. 

With the Hoskyns Rd extension 

across the railway line, I 

proposed a bridge that would 

eliminate the rail crossing and 

allow traffic to cross the highway. 

It was rejected as there was not 

the traffic concerns that there are 

today. 

The drawing today is a modification 

of my original bridge. 

There is no need for traffic lights 

and it allows the uninterrupted 

flow of traffic on the highway. 

The present drawing allows for 

traffic from Rolleston Drive to 

travel up and over the highway 

and rail to Hoskyns and Jones 

Rds, both east and west. 

It also provides for traffic to 

cross the highway and proceed 

down the ramp heading towards 

Christchurch. Rolleston Drive 

traffic can enter the highway and 

proceed south to Burnham. 

Traffic from Jones or Hoskyns 


Rds can travel to Christchurch 

via the down ramp or travel 

over the highway to Rolleston 

Drive or continue the roundabout 

and enter the highway to 

head south. 

Traffic from Christchurch can 

use the left hand lane to enter 

Rolleston Drive or use the right 

hand ramp to cross the highway 

and rail to connect Jones or 

Hoskyns Rds. 

Traffic from Burnham wanting 

to enter Jones Rd can enter the 

exit ramp to cross the rail. 

To enter Rolleston Drive, 

traffic will either stop on the 

designated space on the highway 

and turn right when all is clear, 

or take the exit lane up to the 

bridge turn at the roundabout 

and cross the highway to Rolleston 

Drive. 

The main bridge would have 

to be at least 5m high to clear 

trucks and the rail traffic. 

Without the measurement of 

the distance from Jones Rd to 

the rail line, the incline of the approaches 

may be too steep.

A proposal 

that 

includes 

the present 

traffic 

movements 

without 

traffic lights. 

Traffic will 

be able 

to get to 

Jones Rd 

and there 

will be no 

restriction 

leaving 

Rolleston 

heading to 

Christchurch 

using the 

highway. 

The red lines 

indicate the 

centre of the 

road. 


The Jones/Hoskyns Rds 

intersection roundabout may 

have to be raised a couple of 

metres, to ease the incline, and 

then finished off by continuing 

the approaches down onto those 

roads. 

There is plenty of room to 

build such a combination of 

bridge and approaches. The 

lane ways are scaled at 4m to 

allow for buses and the biggest of 

trucks. 

Additional lane widths would 

allow for bicycle usage and 

pedestrians to safely cross the 

highway. 

There is one obvious problem 

that would be encountered 

during construction that is 

maintaining traffic flow. 

There are several answers to 

this problem. The section of 

the bridge that relates to the 

highway could be built without 

undue interference with traffic 

movements. 

It is just the rail and Jones Rd 

section may present a problem. 

But the design of support 

columns for the elevated part of 

the bridge and, if necessary, the 

use of a temporary rail crossing 

on the Christchurch side, can be 

worked out. 

This design is far simpler than 

the proposed one, and would be 

far easier for traffic to negotiate 

without compromising sections 

of Jones Rd.

Mayor Sam 

Broughton 

talks 

about the 

contentious 

issue of 

water 

ownership. 

On page 12, councillor 

Grant Miller gives his 

opinion 

Last year the Government 

unveiled its proposal to move the 

ownership and management of 

water services from local councils 

into the hands of large water 

services agencies. 

Selwyn will fall into a new organisation 

that would cover most 

the South island, called Entity D. 

Safe drinking water 

When the Government made 

the reform decision they said 

that it would save ratepayers 

money in the long run and that 

it would also result in better, 

safer services for the nation’s 

drinking water, wastewater and 

stormwater infrastructure. They 

also said that investment of $120 

to $185 billion is needed over the 

next 30 years. 

So where does that leave us, a 

district which already has some 

of the most affordable drinking 

water and newest water services 

infrastructure in New Zealand? 

The answer is – we don’t know 

just yet and we have not made 

any decisions. 


Public engagement vital 

The Government has said that 

becoming part of an Entity is 

voluntary but they have not told 

us when we need to make that 

decision – indications are that it 

will be some time before the end 

of the year. This is clearly a significant 

decision as about $600 

million or 30 per cent of our 

assets will be handed over and 

we still don’t know how much 

influence we will have over local 

decisions about our water service 

provision if there is a change. 

$22.3 million for Selwyn 

Public engagement is vital if 

we are going to get this decision 

right, however the Government 

has not firmly signaled that they 

think we need to consult – last 

week I pressed them on this issue 

and hope to have an answer 

soon. There is much to weigh up 

including an incentive of $22.3 

million under the proposed plan 

which we can spend on climate 

adaption, housing and community 

well-being. If we opt out we 

lose this. 

The Government has provided 

us with data that shows the case 

for change is compelling and 

OPINION 11 

Meeting water needs in our community 

PURE: One of the reasons of the reform is to provide safer drinking water. 


I believe that is probably right 

for New Zealand. However, our 

council is charged with making 

the right decision for Selwyn at a 

local level and we need to ensure 

we would be better off under the 

proposal and not paying twice 

for our good investment in the 

past, while also supporting the 

needs of other districts. 

We are told that in Selwyn the 

average household bill for water 

services could be much higher by 

2051 if we do not become part of 

the Entity ($3480 alone or $1640 

as part of the new Entity) however, 

we need to fully understand 

the assumptions behind these 

numbers and all the implications 

before any decision. 

Best for our community 

Last week I met with mayors 

from across the South Island and 

Ngāi Tahu to discuss these issues 

and to seek a way forward. We 

agreed to work together to do all 

we can to ensure that any possible 

Entity meets the needs of 

all our communities. Whichever 

direction this reform takes I will 

continue to ensure Selwyn is at 

the front of discussions when 

it comes to deciding how we 

progress. 

To find out more we have a 

dedicated Q&A page on our 

website and I will be providing 

regular updates over the coming 

weeks and months.

films. It is open to everyone and is challenging fun for both groups 

and individuals. 

At the “Oscar like” awards evening where all films are viewed, it 

is always very clear that the production teams have enjoyed the 

project. Last year’s awards opened with an introduction from an 

overseas entrant before we viewed their film. There are category 

prizes as well as the overall Kea Trophy for the best film of the year. 

Last year this was won by a newly formed Lincoln Junior Enviro 

Group. 

A visit to Eventbrite; https://focus-for-future-2021.eventbrite.co.nz 

will provide an Entry Pack with all instructions. Films should be 

submitted by 6th September and the Awards Evening will take 

place on Friday 24th September.

OPINION 


Will water reforms suit Selwyn district? 

Springs 

Ward district 

councillor Grant 

Miller gives 

his view on 

potential water 

reforms 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: What 

is you opinion on the 

potential water reforms. 

Email barry@starmedia. 

kiwi. Keep responses to 

200 words or less 

YOU MAY recently have seen 

a number of advertisements on 

the television regarding Three 

Waters reform. Watching these 

you may have felt that water 

services locally were in dire 

straits and in urgent need of 

upgrading. 

These advertisements contain 

an element of truth, but also a 

large portion of generalisation. 

So what is the Three Waters 

Reform (3W) proposal and 

what does it mean for us here in 

Selwyn? 

Three Waters refers to the 

provision of water, sewerage and 

stormwater services that are currently 

undertaken by the district 

council. 

Government has taken the view 

that nationally the 3W infrastructure 

is under performing on 

an environmental and financial 

basis, with insufficient provision 

for replacement and growth. 

Driving this view has been the 

non-performance of a number 

of schemes. It is clear from the 

Government analysis that a 

number of communities will not 

have the resources to affordably 

upgrade and replace existing infrastructure 

to the environmental 

standard that we all expect. 

The 3W Reform proposes that 

four large entities be established 

into which all local government 

water assets would be transferred. 

For Selwyn, this would 

mean that our infrastructure 

would be transferred into the 

entity which covers most of the 

South Island. 

These entities would be publicly 

owned. Governance would 

be a combination of Ngai Tahu 

and South Island local body 

members. 

The rationale is that a larger 

entity would provide economies 

of scale, deliver a better level of 

service, and be cheaper over the 

longer term. 

If we take this national view 

and apply a Selwyn lens, what 

does this mean? 

GROWTH: 

The PInes 

Waste 

Water 

Treatment 

Plant was 

constructed 

to cater for 

growth in 

the district. 

In the past, Selwyn had small, 

localised, sewerage plants. We 

also had smaller scale water 

reticulation networks based on 

the townships. Stormwater was 

disposed of into waterways or to 

ground. 

Explosive growth made it clear 

that significant infrastructure 

investment was required. The 

modern Pines Waste Water 

Treatment Plant was constructed, 

which enables all the major 

towns in Selwyn to be connected 

with additional capacity for 

growth. 

Drinking water has undergone 

significant examination in Selwyn. 

We have had challenges in 

the past, notably E.coli outbreaks 

in Darfield and Springston. 

Council has upgraded vulnerable 

rural supplies as well as managing 

urban growth. In my view, 

Selwyn now has a water network 

which provides a high quality 

service at an affordable cost. 

The district council must 

decide if reform is in the current 

and future interests of our 

district. Selwyn has $600 million 

of asset with $40m of associated 

debt which would be transferred 

to the new entity. 

Currently I remain unconvinced 

that the gains proposed 

under the reforms will be 

realised for Selwyn, and believe 

that the downside of transferring 

$600m of community assets to a 

third party will be high. 

Given that this is a strategic 

asset, I will be advocating for 

public consultation on this issue.

Member of Parliament Peter Gordon opens the West Melton Airfield on July 17, 1971.

Celebrations in store at West Melton Airfield 


CANTERBURY AERO Club 

West Melton Branch members 

are looking forward to their 

airfield’s 50th 

anniversary. 

Chairman Paul Jarman 

said it would be a 

special day, celebrating 

the vision of those 

who converted a rough 

piece of land to the 

valued asset members 

enjoyed today. 

The West Melton 

Airfield, which opened in July 

1971, is regularly referred to as 

the club’s “jewel in the crown.” 

The branch operates a fleet of 27 

aircraft and is one of the biggest 

flight training organisations in 

New Zealand. 

In February, the club hosted 

the Flying NZ National Championships 

at the airfield, involving 

Paul Jarman 

a large gathering of about 100 

competitors and 40 aircraft, 

including the first electric powered 

aircraft to be flown at West 

Melton. 

For the 50th anniversary 

event, the branch will host 

a fly-in of former club 

aircraft, a display of classic 

cars, competitions, formation 

flying, and agricultural 

aircraft flypast at the 

anniversary, on September 

25. 

The branch’s Piper Cub 

BNL 65th birthday would 

correspond with the celebrations, 

and the much-loved aircraft 

would also regularly take to the 

skies throughout the event. 

In the hangar, the archives 

committee will set up a display of 

West Melton’s early days. 

An anniversary dinner will 

be held at the clubhouse in 

Christchurch. 

The branch’s Piper Cub BNL, 

photographed recently at Mt 

Cook Airfield, will have its 65th 

birthday celebrated at the 

branch’s 50th jubilee. 

West Melton Airfield hosted a 

gathering of about 40 aircraft 

for national championships 

in February including the first 

electric powered aircraft to be 

flown from the airfield.

Explore ‘Our Climate Future’ 

in Darfield exhibition 

Darfield Library and Service Centre is host to a new exhibition highlighting climate challenges and 

empowering communities to make positive change. 

The ‘Our Climate Future’ exhibition is part of ‘It’s time, Canterbury’ – a joint climate change 

awareness initiative launched in May by the regional council Environment Canterbury and 

Canterbury’s district and city councils. 

The exhibition has been developed by the Ministry for the Environment. It's an interactive display 

with panels and monitors showing climate change information. It also features iPads for people to 

sign up to the Future Fit tool, a practical carbon calculator which makes it easier for households 

to reduce their carbon footprint. 

The display helps people understand why climate change is happening and how it could shape 

our communities, our families and our economic wellbeing. 

It also looks at how we can mitigate the effects of a changing climate to choose a better future for 

ourselves and for the generation to come. 

The exhibition concept is based on the whakataukī: ‘Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa 

takitini. My strength is not that of a single warrior but that of many.’ 

'Our Climate Future' will be at Darfield Library and Service Centre until Saturday 21 August before 

heading to Tūranga in Christchurch. 

No decision yet on water reforms 

You may have heard about the Three Waters Reforms – and wondered what it’s all about. 

Ever since residents of Havelock North fell ill with a gastroenteritis outbreak in 2016, all council water 

services across New Zealand have been in the spotlight. The government is proposing to address the 

urgent challenges in the water sector with a top to bottom reform of our drinking water, wastewater and 

storm water infrastructure and management. 

The proposed reform would shift the responsibility for water services away from individual councils into 

four new multi-regional entities, with an investment programme of up to $185 billion. 

Under the proposal Selwyn will become part of ‘Entity D’ which covers most of the South Island. In a 

move to ensure that no council will be worse off, the government has offered a stimulus package and 

Selwyn’s share of that will be $22.3 million. To receive that funding, the Council must agree to hand 

over our three waters assets and revenue to the new entity. Currently an option exists to opt out of the 

reforms and go it alone. 

So what’s Selwyn’s position? As yet we haven’t made a decision on our participation. At the moment 

we are continuing to analyse the data provided by the government about their proposal, so that we can 

better understand the impact on our residents. 

At present our water infrastructure is among the best in the country and we want to make sure our 

residents are not left worse off under any changes. We want to make sure the community continues to 

have access to the services they currently receive, with a quality of service at least as good as it is now. 

It’s also important that we protect our community’s voice, for example on matters like chlorination and 

level of service standards. Once we have all the data we plan to seek your views on the proposal before 

we make a decision. 

Find out more at our website selwyn.govt.nz/threewaters. 

Have you registered your dog yet? 

Dog registrations are due and owners of two-thirds of dogs in Selwyn have 

made the most of the discounted registration fee this year. From 1 August 

onwards owners have to pay the full fee and they have until 31 August to 

register their dog. After that the Council may issue an infringement of $300 

per dog. Any owner who is having difficulty with the payment of the fee 

can contact the Council to discuss payment arrangements. 

With the introduction this year of the new ‘One tag’ – a lifetime tag – it’s 

taking a bit longer than usual to send out the tags. Owners should expect 

to receive their dog’s new tag up to around two weeks after the payment 

is made. 

For more information on the dog registration visit Council’s website at 

www.selwyn.govt.nz/dogregistration. 

Rates accounts and 

payment options 

Rates invoices for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 September 2022 

should have arrived in your letterboxes or inboxes by now. 

You can check out the changes in your rates by visiting 

selwyn.govt.nz/rates and clicking on property search. 

If you pay by direct debit you should have received information on 

your new direct debit in a separate letter. If you’re on direct debit, as 

long as you have sufficient funds in your bank account to cover the 

payments on the due dates, you will not be charged penalties. 

For ratepayers not on a direct debit, rates are payable in four 

instalments: 15 September 2021, 15 December 2021, 15 March 

2022 and 15 June 2022. Penalties are charged on instalments not 

paid in full by the due dates, and there is a further penalty if rates 

are not paid by 30 June 2022. 

Your rates invoice details the rates assessed for your property 

for both the Council and Environment Canterbury. The Council 

assesses a general rate, based on your property’s capital value, 

district-wide targeted rates, plus other targeted rates based on 

where you live or the services you receive. We also act as an agent 

for the collection of Environment Canterbury rates within Selwyn. 

The average rates increase for the 2021/22 year is 4.5%, but this 

will vary for individual properties. Rates take account of capital 

values, as well any changes to your property, for example if you 

have built a house on your section or changed your wheelie bins. 

For more information about rates, including forms and payment 

options, visit selwyn.govt.nz/rates or phone 0800 SELWYN (735 996). 

Apply for a rates rebate 

Ratepayers on a low income and who pay rates on the 

property they live in may be eligible for a rates rebate. 

If your gross household income to 31 March 2021 was 

$26,150 or less, and you pay rates on the property where 

you live, you may qualify for a rebate. 

If your income was more than this, you may still be eligible, 

depending on the total cost of your rates and the number of 

dependants in your family. 

To find out if you are eligible for a rates rebate, and to 

download forms, visit ratesrebates.govt.nz. Forms are also 

available from Council service centres. If you received a 

rates rebate last year you will automatically be sent an 

application form. 

To apply, you will need to provide accurate details and 

copies of your gross income, and that of any partner/ 

spouse/joint homeowner who lives with you, for the tax 

year ended 31 March 2021. You can apply for your rebate 

at any Council service centre:

Darfield and Kirwee wastewater pipeline update 

The construction of a new wastewater system for Darfield and Kirwee townships has started this week. 

The majority of construction work is taking place in the road reserve, which may require some traffic 

management including speed reductions. In some cases road closures may be required but detours will 

be signposted. Aylesbury Road between Wards Road and Two Chain Road is the first affected road; it 

will be closed until mid-December 2021. 

The new pipeline will connect the townships with Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant in Rolleston. It’s 

expected that construction will be completed by July 2022 for Darfield and August 2022 for Kirwee. 

To see the latest progress on the project, and any road closures and detours, please visit Council 

website at selwyn.govt.nz/darfieldkirweewastewater.

Black manuka is a 

sign scale is present 

UNSIGHTLY blackened 

manuka plants are a sign 

manuka scale may be 

present. 

Manuka blight is caused 

by the Eriococcus species 

of scale insect sucking 

sap and exuding copious 

amounts of honeydew. The 

honeydew is then attacked 

by sooty mould which can 

blacken the leaves, severely 

reducing photosynthesis. 

One Australian scale insect, 

Eriococcus orariensis, 

was discovered at Orari 

Gorge in 1937, hence its 

scientific name. 

The combination of the 

sap-sucking by the many 

scales on a plant and the 

reduced photosynthesis 

over a few years can kill 

manuka. 

This scale species appears 

to have declined 

due to a fungal pathogen 

and has been replaced by 

another less noxious scale, 

Eriococcus leptospermi. 

This scale species tends to 

inhabit the new growth 

tips, whereas Eriococcus 

orariensis inhabit bark 

crevices of trunks and 

branches. 

Adult female scales are 

1.25mm long, oval-shaped 

and reddish to light brown. 

Female scales are wingless 

and have antennae 

with six segments. The 

female has wax threads 

that are produced from 

pores on the abdomen and 

she uses these threads to 

construct a white felted sac 

to enclose her body apart 

from an opening at the 

rear. 

Over several weeks each 

female lays about 50 eggs 

which hatch within 30 

minutes of being laid. 

The nymphs or crawlers 

settle on a suitable site 

and insert their piercing 

mouthparts to siphon the 

sap from manuka.

Gymnasts take gold 

• By Fiona Ellis 

ROLLESTON 11-year-old 

Cherry Zhu won national titles 

at the recent New Zealand 

Gymnastics Championships in 

Auckland. 

Cherry took gold in the level 

six category after coming first for 

her ball performance and second 

for ribbon performance. She also 

won gold in the grade four group 

performance. 

She was part of the Delta 

Rhythmic Gymnastic Club 

which performed well at the 

championships. Her teammates 

were Annabell Keith, Neve Hendry, 

Sylvia Zheng, Faye LiChen 

and Lexie Boon. 

This was a strong result for 

Lexie, whose injury earlier in 

the year had prevented much 

practice. 

Club committee member 

Rebecca Abrahams said the 

young gymnasts had done well, 

especially as qualifying for the 

nationals was an achievement in 

itself. 

“I think it’s everyone’s goal,” 

Abrahams said. 

“They needed to not only 

achieve a qualifying mark but 

also be in the top 20 in New 

Zealand at the end of the season 

to be selected for Nationals.” 

Club members also achieved 

GOLDEN GIRLS: Cherry 

Zhu (above) won the level 

six category, while Neve 

Hendry, Sylvia Zheng, 

Annabell Keith, Lexie 

Boon and Faye LiChen 

took first place in the 

grade four group in the 

New Zealand Gymnastics 

Championships. 

second or third place in 13 other 

categories. 

“Sitting there waiting for 

the results can be a bit of a 

rollercoaster,” Abrahams said. 

A highlight of the weekend 

was coming together with other 

teams from Canterbury, who 

supported each other. 

Even those that did not place 

still had a good weekend, she said. 

Competing taught many 

good life skills, including 

teamwork and how to deal with 

disappointment. 

The club’s success reflected 

the hard work by the “amazing” 

coaches. 

“They have to be there the 

whole time, and they spend 

hours and hours thinking and 

planning.” 

Head coach Alesha Klaassens 

said the competitors needed 

plenty of confidence to get up 

and perform in front of the 

judges. 

“I’m always very proud of 

them,” Klaassens said. 

Everyone worked hard, 

with the gymnasts putting in 

anywhere from nine to 15 hours 

of training each week. 

“We go in with no 

expectations, it’s just a privilege 

to be able to go.” 

Events to help parents 


SELWYN Parenting Network is 

planning its inaugural Selwyn 

Parenting Week for next month. 

It comes hot on the heels of a 

highly successful workshop held 

at Rolleston Community Centre 

last week, called understanding 

and managing anxiety in tweens 

and teens, which attracted about 

130 parents. 

Network co-ordinator Kate 

Webb said the workshop and 

parenting week was about giving 

the district’s growing number 

of parents the information they 

were seeking on a wide range of 

issues. 

“It’s about empowering 

parents to be able to parent 

better and also having access to 

resources,” Webb said. 

Last week’s workshop had 

been a great precursor to the 

week. 

Clinical specialist Catherine 

Gallagher delivered much helpful 

information for parents who 

were dealing with more behavioural 

issues as children reacted 

to helicopter parenting, social 

media and had concerns about 

world issues, Webb said. 

Network members were currently 

collaborating with providers, 

speakers and organisations 

to facilitate the series of events 

for the week beginning September 

20. 

Managing meltdowns, raising 

digital citizens and enticing the 

next generation of young volunteers 

would be among the many 

workshop topics.

SPORT 

JO HERBERT made a return 

to the driving ranks last season 

after nearly a decade away from 

the track and on Sunday at 

Addington Raceway she was able 

to fulfill her biggest ambition on 

her return – 200 driving wins. 

It was fitting that the milestone 

was brought up behind Taumata 

VC in the Woodlands Stud 

Supports Canty Breeders Mobile 

Pace as the four-year-old mare 

was the primary reason for 

Herbert’s return to driving. 

“It is pretty special to win it on 

that horse,” Herbert said. 

“My uncle (Doug Herbert) bred 

her and he is the reason why I 

made the comeback because he 

wanted me to drive her when she 

raced. 

“It has been a long process with 

her, but it just made it a bit more 

special today.” 

Herbert was also pleased to 

get the win in the colours of her 

Ladbrooks employers, Colin and 

Julie De Filippi. 

A pioneer for female drivers 

in New Zealand, Herbert won 

193 races in the cart before she 

was forced to step away from the 

game more than a decade ago to 

look after her son Brooklyn. 

“At the time it was in the too 

hard basket, he wasn’t that well,” 

Herbert said. 

“It got too hard, so I just 

focused on him.” 

Herbert wasn’t aware that she 

was so close to 200 wins when she 

walked away from the sport, and 

it became one of her major goals 

upon her return. 

“At the time when I stopped 

I hadn’t actually looked at that 

(career win tally),” Herbert said. 

“It was more that I had to do it 


Herbert’s 200 wins comes after long absence 

• By Joshua Smith 

A TOTAL of 76 trainers and 

drivers achieved personal bests 

in the 2020-21 season. 

A search of Harness Racing 

New Zealand records for the 

season show that 25 drivers had 

their most wins in a season, as 

did 51 trainers. 

As well as having their 

best seasons Ben Hope (40) 

had his first Group One victory 

with Muscle Mountain in the 

Fred Shaw Memorial New 

Zealand Trotting Championship, 

as did Benjamin Butcher (44) 

with Enjoy Me in the Sires’ 

Stakes 3YO Filllies Final, and 

then B D Joe at the Harness 

Jewels. 

Second to Blair Orange (179) in 

the premiership, John Dunn had 

his best season in the sulky with 

Jo Herbert 

(give up driving) because of my 

son. If I had known back then 

that I was that close I wouldn’t 

141 wins, including nine with 

Five Wise Men and seven with 

Sundees Son. 

Tim Williams (93), Sam Ottley 

(82) and Robbie Close (65) also 

had their best seasons as did the 

country’s stand-out junior driver 

Sarah O’Reilly (57). 

Of the trainers Robert 

Dunn was a runaway leader 

of the premiership, winning it 

have given it up quite so soon.” 

But a decade on she has fulfilled 

her ambition of reaching 200 

wins. 

“It’s been a long time coming, 

but I am glad to have got there,” 

she said. 

Herbert has been fortunate to 

drive some quality horses over 

the years and she said it is hard to 

single out any one in particular, 

but highlighted the Paul Kerrtrained 

Chloe Hanover as one of 

her favourites. 

“I have driven some nice horses 

and every win has been special,” 

she said. 

“But winning 11 races on 

Chloe Hanover was pretty 

special.” 

Herbert said the thrill of 

driving in several New Zealand 

Cups has also been a highlight. 

“I have driven in the New 

Zealand Cup three times, my 

for the second season in a row. 

He had a career high 

124 training successes, 

eclipsing his previous best haul 

of 121 in 2016. 

Among the others to have 

had their best ever seasons were 

Arna Donnelly with 37, beating 

the 33 she had in 2019. Among 

Amber Hoffman’s best return of 

23 wins was taking out the very 

closest was fourth, but it is still 

pretty special to drive in that 

race,” she said. 

While she is driving less 

frequently these days, that is 

exactly how Herbert wants it, 

citing she has done her time 

travelling to drive at various 

meetings. 

“I am actually quite happy,” she 

said. 

“A lot of the time I don’t like 

travelling, I have done all of that. 

If it is handy I will go, but I don’t 

really go out of my way to get 

drives.’’ 

Herbert wasn’t the only person 

to reach a milestone on Sunday,

Williamson securing his 50th 

training win courtesy of Shards

Cheesy pasta bake 

Serves 3 

Ingredients 

500gm pasta spirals 

2 tbsp olive oil 

500gm cherry tomatoes, halved 

4 green shallots, thinly sliced 

400gm grated mozzarella 

500gm bottle onion and roast 

garlic pasta sauce 

1 bunch fresh basil, leaves 

picked, plus extra, to serve 

Directions 

Cook the pasta in a large 

saucepan of salted boiling water 

following the packet directions or 

until al dente. Drain. Preheat the 

grill to high. 

Wipe pan dry. Heat oil over 

medium-high heat. Add the 

tomato and shallot. 

Cook, stirring, for three to 

four minutes or until the tomato 

softens. Reduce the heat to low 

and add the cooked pasta, pizza 

cheese and pasta sauce. 

Stir to combine. Remove from

Quick spinach and 

mushroom pasta 

Ingredients 

250gm linguine 

150gm mushrooms 

Cherry 

tomatoes 

complement 

well pasta. 

Pasta also 

makes a tasty 

leftover meal. 

1 cup cherry tomatoes 

1 tbsp cooking oil 

150gm fresh spinach 

1 tbsp butter 

1/4 tsp garlic powder 

2 tbsp nutritional yeast 

1/4 tsp salt 

1/4 tsp freshly cracked black 

pepper 

Directions 

Bring a large pot of water to a 

boil for the pasta. Once boiling, 

add the pasta and continue to boil 

until the pasta is tender (about 

seven minutes). Reserve a 1/2 cup 

of the pasta water, then drain the 

pasta in a colander. 

Slice mushrooms and cut the 

tomatoes in half. 

Heat the oil in a large skillet 

over medium heat. Add the 

mushrooms and a pinch of salt 

to the skillet and sauté until they 

have released all of their moisture 

(about five to seven minutes). 

Add the tomatoes and sauté 

for about two minutes more, or 

just until they’re heated through. 

Add the spinach and sauté just 

until wilted. Add the cooked and 

drained pasta to the skillet along 

with the butter. Toss until everything 

is coated in melted butter. 

Turn the heat off. 

Season with garlic powder, 

nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper, 

then toss to coat.

WHEN IT comes to planting, 

it’s now time to get your strawberries, 

potatoes, beetroot and 

onions. 

You can grow homegrown 

onions pretty much anywhere in 

the garden – they also grow well 

in pots. But make sure the soil is 

friable (goes crumbly when you 

touch it). If it’s not, simply give it 

a good dig over and add a bit of 

compost and fertiliser. 

Red and pukekohe longkeeper 

onions need to be planted 10cm 

apart. And if you’re growing them 

in rows, make the rows 20cm 

apart. Companion plant spinach 

in between the rows. Or you 

could try growing spring onions 

in between. 

They will be ready to harvest 

much earlier at around six to 

eight weeks, so will be out of the 

rows before the larger onions 

need the space. Simply, plant your 

spring onions around 4cm apart 

from the next. 

You can harvest your spring 

onions at any time. But the longer 

you leave them the bigger they 

will get until they go to seed. 

Your larger onions will take 

around 20 to 24 weeks to get 

ready and you can tell when they 

are because they start to pop 

right out of the ground. If they 

start to flower, we are commend 

harvesting them as onions that 


have started to bolt or go to seed 

don’t store very well. Don’t worry 

if they’re green, you can still eat 

them. 

If you’re planning on planting 

potatoes this year, you’ll need to 

’chit’ them beforehand, to give 

them the best possible start. 

Chitting your potatoes means 

allowing them to sprout. We 

recommend letting the sprouts 

grow to around 10-15cm prior 

to planting - which roughly takes 

four weeks. 

Strawberries are a Kiwi summer 

favourite – get them in 

now so that they’ll be ready for 

Christmas. 

For the best results dig some 

strawberry food into your soil 

prior to planting, then mound the 

soil up in your garden bed, as this 

encourages air circulation as well 

as good drainage. 

Plant your seedlings along 

the moulds to encourage your 

strawberries to hangover, and to 

prevent the fruit from rotting. 

Water regularly and apply a good 

dose of strawberry food every 

couple of weeks. If you’re planting 

enough strawberries to feed the 

family, plant four to five plants 

per person. Mega bundles are a

Electrical expertise on your doorstep 

Now we are entering the last weeks of 

winter we can start to look forward to 

spring in another month. As the weather 

becomes more reliable many are keen to 

start to plan or continue renovations or 

new-builds which were put on hold in the 

winter months. 

Since its inception Laser Electrical 

has established a reputation for being 

“Totally Dependable”. Selwyn residents are 

fortunate to have this highly professional 

company situated so conveniently on their 

doorstep. Locally owned and operated, 

Laser Electrical is linked to the nationwide 

Laser operation, giving their customers 

access to a wide range of quality electrical 

products. 

Laser Electrical can offer advice on any 

electrical issues for new or existing homes 

as well as any building under construction. 

The placement of lighting, electric sockets, 

and heating and cooling appliances is a 

key aspect of any new home design, and 

that’s where Laser Electrical’s knowledge 

and experience comes to the fore. They 

will discuss your ideas with you and advise 

on the most appropriate installation sites 

around the home. 

Many of today’s home owners want 

the convenience of an internal vacuum 

system, as well as the latest in home 

theatre, entertainment systems and 

telecommunications equipment; all areas 

where Laser Electrical are up-to-date with 

the latest technology and design trends. 

Winter weather can be challenging 

and even the first month of spring still 

has frosty mornings that make it hard 

to get out of bed. Even a sunny day it 

cools quickly when the sun goes down. 

Laser Electrical’s skilled tradespeople 

are extremely competent to undertake 

everything you need to make your home 

warm, safe and economical. Timers can be 

fitted to your heating appliances so they 

turn on and off when you want them to, 

allowing you to get up to a cosy room in a 

frosty morning and arrive home to a cosy 

one after work. They can also set up remote 

control by linking your home security 

system and heating to your mobile phone. 

Laser Electrical is a highly professional 

company with the credentials and 

experience to work alongside you to 

create a home perfectly tailored to your 

needs, committed to providing you with 

transparent, concise and regularly updated 

communication.

New identity looms for Kia Carnival 

IN THE YEARS I’ve been writing 

about automobiles, only on 

very rare occasions has a badge 

changed. Most car makers are 

very keen to keep their brand 

identity intact and protect their 

image even if the design is many 

years old. 

It came as some surprise then 

that Kia is in the process of 

changing its logo, the new design 

is more stylised and abstract 

than before and is certainly a 

departure from the original 

and it is now a genuine point of 

difference. 

So, take a good look, is this 

Carnival the last Kia I drive with 

the old badge? I don’t know, 

but what I do know is that even 

though it is about to get a new 

point of identity, it still shares 

the concept that it has made it a 

people mover of choice for many 

families and service providers. 

The Carnival multi-purpose 

vehicle has been around for 

many years, it has been a popular 

seven or eight-seater and the new 

model hasn’t lost sight of that 

original concept, it is versatile and 

practical, yet it also has dynamics 

which often disguise its bulk and 

concept. 

The Carnival arrives here 

with a 2.2-litre four-cylinder 

turbocharged R-series diesel 

engine that has earned itself a 

healthy reputation for power 

and economy in other Kia and 

Hyundai models. The old V6 

petrol engine that has given 

faithful service throughout the 

Carnival’s life is not available in 

New Zealand now, diesel is all 

you can get. However, to me that’s 

a good thing, the R-series unit is 

an absolute cracker, it is strong 

and silent. 

There are three specification 

levels in Carnival – EX, Deluxe 

and Premium. The range starts 

at $59,990 and ends at $74,990 

for the Premium as tested, 

in-between the Deluxe sits at 

$69,990. 

In terms of figures, the twincamshaft, 

16-valve diesel has 

148kW and 440Nm power output 

to consider, it is rated with a 

6.5-litre per 100km combined 

cycle fuel usage rating and it 

accelerates to 100km/h in 8.8sec. 

These are impressive figures 

considering the Carnival weighs 

in bulky at just over two-tonne. 

Drive is channelled through an 

eight-speed automatic gearbox 

through to the front wheels. 

Yes, the Carnival is two-wheeldrive 

only, and that is one of the 

reasons why it can’t be considered 

a sport utility vehicle. Therein lies 

further appeal, many SUVs don’t 

get used to their full potential. If 

you do have a need to transport 

several occupants frequently, 

then the Carnival will do that in 

comfort and style, making full 

use of its design role. 

BOLD: Black wheels on the Premium model give the 

Carnival a sporty look. 

KIA CARNIVAL PREMIUM: Versatile eight-seater with adaptable seating configurations. 

IDENTITY: Out with the old and in with the new - Kia’s 

logo going forward (right). 

It is also extremely practical, 

the seating configurations are 

many-fold, the centre row is 

adaptable for easy access to the 

rear, and the rear seats also fold 

down deep into a cargo area for 

increased interior load space. 

Not only does the Carnival 

have on-board versatility, access 

is also easy with automatic sliding 

doors on each side, and a high-lift 

rear tailgate. 

At the other end, the R-Series 

diesel is a tireless worker, it 

develops all of its power low in 

the rev range at 3800rpm, and 

if you take into account that the 

area of peak torque lists from 

1750rpm to 2750rpm, you don’t 

need to constantly work the 

engine, it is happy slugging it out 

at low revs. 

Power through the 

transmission is well harnessed. 

Shifts are quick and smooth, 

while the ratios are structured 

for that healthy acceleration time 

and the ability to sip fuel gently 

at open road speed – 6l/100km at 

100km/h with the engine turning 

over slowly at just 1650rpm. The 

driver can also choose an active 

economical driving mode that 

eases the load on the engine for 

fuel efficiency gains. Take into 

account as well the Carnival’s 

72-litre fuel tank, long distances 

can be travelled before fill-ups are 

necessary. 

In Premium specification, the 

Carnival is fully loaded with 

kit, much of it new-generation 

equipment. There’s also a healthy 

level of safety kit, both passive 

and active. 

Features for convenience and 

comfort include full leather trim, 

satellite navigation, triple-zone 

climate control, electric seat 

adjustment (also heated and 

cooled up front), heated steering 

wheel and reversing camera. All 

of these features are included 

in an ultra-modern interior 

that relies heavily on operation 

through the central dash touch 

screen command centre. 

I took the test car on my 

normal inland route – State 

Highway 72 – the scenic route 

through to Glenroy. At both low 

and cruising speeds, the Carnival 

has quiet motion and a beautiful 

ride, the front-strut and multiplelink 

rear suspension has soft 

spring and damper rates and, as 

such, they absorb ruts and bumps 

well. That along with the strongly 

bolstered seat cushioning means 

the ride is more than plush. 

• Price – Kia Carnival 

Premium, $74,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5155mm; width, 1995mm; 

height, 1775mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

2151cc, 148kW, 

440Nm, eight-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

8.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.5l/100km 

There is a little trade-off when 

it comes time to tackle our 

country’s tight and twisty corners. 

The Carnival is large, which 

means there is a lot of vehicle to 

get around a corner in the first 

instance. The body leans over 

the suspension thanks to its tall 

centre of gravity; however, the 

weight transfer is gradual and 

doesn’t affect vehicle balance. 

There aren’t a lot of vehicles of 

this type new in the New Zealand 

market, and to be fair, demand is 

spasmodic. 

However, Kia has stuck with 

the Carnival, and for those who 

do travel as a group it is the 

perfect choice and one that will 

gain recognition with a wide 

cross-section of the community. 

Kia has styled the Carnival so 

that it will appeal with its shape, 

it has attitude, disguising well 

the van-like look that has often 

accompanied multi-purpose 

vehicles and people movers.
