Demand for sections
sees prices skyrocket
• By Susan Sandys
LACK OF LAND and high demand is
continuing to see section prices soar in
the district.
The latest CoreLogic House Price Index
shows the district’s average residential
property prices have risen almost 10
per cent in three months, compared to
just 5.6 per cent in Christchurch and 4.8
per cent nationwide.
However, real estate agents say the
main rise has been in section prices,
which have in many cases doubled
since prior to last year’s Covid lockdown.
Chris Jones of
Bayleys Realty
Group Selwyn said
an 800 sq m section
at Lincoln that would
have sold in the high
$200,000s in March
last year, was now
selling for more than
Chris Jones
$500,000.
Land was running out but more
was set to come on stream as the
district council considered zone
change applications from developers.
In the Lincoln, Prebbleton and
Rolleston areas alone, there were
potentially thousands of new sections to

THERE’S generally a couple
of ways to take the risk word
out of youth – get them
into jobs or playing sport.
Preferably both.
Police are trying that
philosophy on a group of atrisk
youths from Rolleston,
launching a programme to
give them a taste of the construction
industry (page 5).
Said Sergeant Royden
van Dyk: “If you can use a
PlayStation, you can operate
a digger and you can get paid
for it as well.
“One of them might be the
next CEO of a construction
company in years to come,
the opportunities are
endless,” van Dyk said.
That sounds a far better
future than ending up in jail.
As the district population
swells, so will social
problems. The police
initiative should be
applauded.

MAYOR SAM Broughton is
not supporting a call for Local
Government minister Nanaia
Mahuta to resign over the Three
Waters reforms.
While the
district council
will not agree
to transfer its
water assets to
a new Government
entity,
without full engagement
with
ratepayers, it is
not backing five
Christchurch
councillors who want Mahuta to
resign.
“She is thinking about the
national picture and the case for
change on that scale,” Broughton
said.
Nevertheless, the district
council has reiterated its calls to
pause the Three Waters reforms
as it formally responds to the
minister.
District councillors fear the
reforms will be made mandatory,
however, are taking Government’s
word that they will be
optional.
“Our council have committed
to formally consult with our
communities before making a
decision to stay in or out. Any
decision we make will be in the
best interests of Selwyn and not
influenced by the decisions of
other councils,” Broughton
said.
Informal feedback with the
community had indicated
ratepayers were concerned about
losing a local say in the running
of their assets.
The call to pause the reforms
was first proposed by the
Canterbury Mayoral Forum, of
which Broughton is chairman.
He said the case for change
had not been proven.
In its response to the reforms,
the district council has asked the

Government for more information
to help it fully understand
the issues, and for time to
consult.
Councillor Grant Miller said
the Department of internal
Affairs would now collate
councils’ responses nationwide,
and present the final model for
them to either opt in or out.
“There has been increasing
concern that the reforms may be
made mandatory, Government
from the outset has repeatedly
stated the reforms will be
optional and presently there has
been no change to this position,
although Minister Mahuta
has made strong statements
in Parliament that the case
for change is proven and
compelling,” Miller said.

Bird’s nest
cause of
engine fire at
petrol station
• By Susan Sandys
THE ENGINE of a John Deere
tractor burst into flames at
Kirwee Challenge petrol station
on Friday.
Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade
chief Stuart Jones said a bird’s
nest under the bonnet ignited
after the driver, a Kirwee farmer,
drove onto the forecourt to refuel,
around lunchtime.
“Any fire on a forecourt is
dangerous,” he said.
However, thanks to the
quick actions of staff at the
petrol station dousing it with
fire extinguisher and calling
emergency services, it was
extinguished.
He reminded farmers to
check the engine bays of farm
machinery regularly, as birds
could build a nest there in just
half a day.
On Sunday, the brigade was
called to a grass fire at West
Melton, backed up by brigades
from Rolleston, Burnham and
Darfield Rural.
The fire spread across a
paddock into a hedgeline of trees.
Firefighters were at the scene for
about two hours.

“That won’t necessarily bring
prices down, but may slow down
the increase in prices,” he said.
As well as a shortage of sections,
there was high demand. This was
coming from more people moving
into Canterbury from the North

overseas choosing to live here, and
people wanting to upsize from their

opportunities are endless,” van
Dyk said.
“If you can use a PlayStation,
you can operate a digger and
you can get paid for it as well.”
Van Dyk himself has a background
in construction, having
been a former road surfacing
manager.
“There’s plenty of opportunity
in construction. It’s one of New
Zealand’s biggest industries,” he
said.
Young people were looking for
work, particularly in the wake of
Covid lockdowns. “A lot of stress
comes down from money and
income. If we can get people a
steady job then that would hopefully
change the stress at home,”
van Dyk said.
Ward said it was fantastic to
see youth he was dealing with

crashes after
swerving to
avoid ducks
• By Susan Sandys
A MOTORIST came out of a car
crash worse off than the ducklings
she was trying to avoid.
The driver told Coalgate Volunteer
Fire Brigade firefighters and
a nearby farmer at the scene she
had over-corrected after swerving
to avoid a family of ducks. The
crash happened about 7.30pm on
Thursday on State Highway 77.
“She’s a very lucky lady,” said
the farmer.
He heard the sound of tyres
screeching, then a loud thud. His
wife phoned 111 while he put his
boots on and ran to the scene,
about 100m down his driveway.
He arrived to find the woman
standing and looking at her badly
damaged car. It appeared the car
had gone into the ditch on its side,
but had tipped back upright. Her
only injury was a small scratch to
her head.
It appeared the ducks had made
a quick escape, as not even a
feather was to be seen.
Fire chief Philip Shaw advised
motorists not to risk their life to
avoid animals on the road.
“Because sometimes they
appear very quickly,” Shaw said.

Road repaired but care still needed
• By Susan Sandys
A BOUNCY strip of Ellesmere Rd
has finally been repaired.
The district council has
re-levelled the 400m strip between
Robinsons and Leadleys Rd at
Prebbleton.
It comes after the road has been
subject to 70km/h temporary speed
limit signs for the last five years.
It was the subject of complaints
from motorists, concerned about
trucks and large vehicles hitting
areas that had sunk, and bouncing
across the centre line.
Lincoln motorist Andrew Tabb
told the Selwyn Times in July the
road made “a joke” out of temporary
speed signs.
“How long is temporary before
it’s forever?” Tabb said.
“It’s really been permanent, not
temporary.”
He described having close calls
with traffic moving in the opposite
direction, as the piece of road was
getting worse every week. He said
as trucks and large vehicles hit the
areas that have sunk, they bounce
around crossing the centre line.
Now that the road, in a permanent
speed zone of 80km/h, has
been levelled, motorists will still
have to drive with care. This is
because the underlying soil of peat
is expected to continue causing
changes and slumping.
Transportation asset delivery
manager Mark Chamberlain told
the Selwyn Times in July that more
long-term repair of the road will be
conducted as part of construction
of seal widening, which is in the
Long Term Plan for 2024/25.
There had been no reported
crashes on the section of road since
September 2014.

Future of community garden still uncertain
• By Susan Sandys
LINCOLN Envirotown founder
Sue Jarvis is disappointed that
a public notice to dispose of
Lincoln Maternity Hospital
does not mention the site’s
community garden.
“They might think the community
no longer wants the hospital,
although that is debatable,
but the community certainly
wants the community
garden,” Jarvis (right)
said about the Canterbury
District Health
Board’s notice.
Lincoln Envirotown
was grateful to the
CDHB for allowing its
community garden be
established at the site in 2008,
and did not want to lose the
facility now.
The CDHB is required
by the New Zealand Public
Health and Disability
Act to consider any public
views on disposal of land
prior to proceeding with
the disposal process.
The 5401m2 property
contains the original 1926 maternity
building, as well and a
2011 dental building which may
be relocated to another CDHB
site.
The services provided from the
property are being relocated to
the Selwyn Health Hub at Rolleston,
which is due for completion
in December.
The proposal and summary of
submissions will be presented to
the Minister of Health for final
approval before any disposal of
land goes ahead.
Jarvis urged residents to be
part of the submission process by
the closing date of November 5.

FIRE READY: Prebbleton residents Judith and Vincent Kearns

FENZ senior adviser community readiness and recovery Wayne

Residents being informed of fire risk
• By Susan Sandys
PREBBLETON residents near a
fire on Tosswill Rd are making
their homes safer after a friendly
visit from Fire and Emergency
New Zealand personnel.
Senior adviser community
readiness and recovery Wayne
Hamilton and community risk
manager Dean Harker went door
to door on Thursday, providing
reassurance to residents
following the September 25
blaze.
The vegetation fire was fanned
by strong northerly winds. It
was brought under control by
noon as multiple crews and at
least 10 fire tankers responded.
It followed a fire in January 2013
in Prebbleton, which destroyed
a poultry farm and razed three
homes.
Hamilton said he and Harker
talked to residents or left
information packs in letter boxes
of about 200 homes.
“It’s a great way to provide
information for the coming
summer from a prevention side
of things,” he said.
Stationmasters Way resident
Judith Kearns said she and
husband Vincent appreciated the
visit.
They would now be installing
more smoke alarms, additional
to the two they already had.
“It’s awareness, you don’t
think about it until something
like a fire happens,” Kearns
said.
They would also draw up an
escape plan and put it on the
fridge, so visitors to their home
could see it.
“We have lots of grandchildren
who come to see us, we are
going to get that organised,” she
said.
New sign to
protect eels
removed
MORE SIGNAGE will be put in
to protect tame eels people feed in
Lincoln.
One of two signs warning
people not to fish for the longfin
eels in Liffey Springs Reserve was
ripped out within two weeks of
going in.
A district council spokesman
said it would be replaced on a
stronger post, and a third sign
would also be put in.
Teenagers have been seen by
people in the area harassing
and trying to catch the 20 or so
protected tame eels, causing an
outcry on Facebook.
The eels at the reserve are
protected by the district council’s
parks and reserves by-law and
also the Reserves Act.
They have been a feature of the
stream for decades.
Botanical Expo

Delight in the beautiful spring weather and

and demonstrations and are keen to share
their knowledge. Apart from the multiple
displays and expert advice, there will be a
chance to purchase
plants and pot up a
seedling.

live music will
also be on hand to
entertain you while
you are browsing.

THE LATEST Nielsen annual
readership report shows big
increases in readership for
Star Media newspaper titles.
Starmax is now read 199,000
times a week, up 16,000 readers
on the last report.
Star Media regional manager
Steve McCaughan said it
confirms what has been
known for a while – free local
newspapers and the printed
word are trusted more than
ever.
“Readers want local news
that’s relevant to them that they
can trust and that’s exactly what
we aim to deliver – you just
can’t get that anywhere else and
certainly trust has been lost on
social media,” he said.
“Plus, there’s the tactility
factor of newspapers, it’s
back in and people like reading
a physical product in their
home. It’s extremely pleasing
to see all the titles we survey
had excellent readership results
– with The Star at 97,000,
North Canterbury News, 48,000,
Selwyn Times, 45,000 and
Bay Harbour News, 9000
readers.
Said McCaughan: “This is
great news for our advertisers
where placement of just one ad
in Starmax will be seen 199,000
times. That’s a larger audience
with one ad than any other
media option can offer.
“The Press readership has
fallen (in line with their
circulation decline) and The
Star now has 15,000 more
readers each issue than The
Press. With our increasing
readership we are seeing

Plea for the return of
puppets stolen with car
• By Bea G oding
A VETERAN children’s
entertainment duo who had
their car stolen last w ek in New

away with.
Natural Magic Pirates pu peters
Ke ry and Mary McCa mon

their 1 98 Subaru Impreza had
vanished from their Marine Pde
driveway, along with their life’s
work inside.
The stolen vehicle was ca rying
a Magic Pu pet Box containing
i replaceable handmade pu pets
the pair have used to entertain
children for the last four decades.
Mary feared the box wi l be
carele sly dumped. Having the
car back would be a bonus, but
returning what was inside was
what ma tered most.
“We’re hoping someone wi l find
it and trace it back to us,” she said.
“We recognise the people who
t ok the car didn’t want our puppets,
but it’s hugely inconvenient
and sad for the children that we
like to do shows for.”
The McCa mons have b en
entertaining children around the
city since moving here in 1983.

SHOULD POLICE

Recent attacks on
police and the fatal

CDHB
staff
slow to
take up
free flu
vaccine
• By Susan Sandys
FEWER THAN 20 per cent of
Canterbury District Health Board
staff have so far taken up free flu
vaccines.
The figure suggests the CDHB
is well behind the 80 per cent
target that the Ministry of Health
has for district health board
health care workers.
The revelation comes following
news last month the CDHB remains
among nine in the country
that does not know which of
their staff are vaccinated against
Covid-19.
Chief people officer Mary
Johnston said yesterday about
2000 staff had received their
influenza vaccination at the
health board’s free clinics. This
number did not include staff who
may have chosen to receive the
vaccine from their own GP or
pharmacy.
The CDHB employs about
11,500 people.
The roll-out of the free flu
vaccinations for staff was made
available from July 8.

Massive
effort to
get meals
to those
in need
• By Samantha Mythen
VOLUNTEERS ARE working
through lockdown to get meals
to people in need around the
harbour basin.
Lyttelton Community House,
which is operating as an essential
service, is delivering its normal
20-30 meals a week.
Community house social
worker Claire Coveney, who has
worked with the organisation for
two years, said it was “a massive
community team effort.”
The service began after the
earthquakes, which resulted in
the community house bringing in
a commercial kitchen.
Coveney said most of the people
they help are those who are older,
have disabilities or have health
issues. The meals cost $8.50.
“They may have difficulties
cooking or food shopping, or they
need legitimate rest or have been
unwell in hospital,” she said.
The organisation helps people
with both short and long-term
issues, for however long they
need, Coveney said.

A large

lined up
recently
for the
Covid-19
jab at a
pop-up
clinic at
Rolleston.
Helping set-up vaccination
clinic prompted by
sister’s Covid experience
• By Susan Sandys
BLADE LAZO knows first
hand why people should
be vaccinated against
Covid-19.
The Lincoln resident is
chairman of Pinoy
CARES Canterbury,
which recently
organised a pop-up
clinic at Rolleston.
Three weeks ago
he got devastating
news that his sister
contracted Covid-19
in the family’s home
city of Manila in the
Philippines.
Pinoy CARES is a
non-profit organisation
promoting Filipino culture
and values. He said it had
been fantastic to have
Pegasus Health and other
organisations, including
the Philippine Chaplaincy
Dioceses of Christchurch,
the district council and the
Canterbury District Health
Board, come on board to
offer the pop-up clinic.
It was held last month at
the Rolleston Community
Centre. A second one will
be held October 28.
Lazo said the first clinic
had gone well, with about
120 people getting jabbed
after making a booking,
and about 15 extra people
getting jabbed after walking
in.
Now that he had the
experience of having a
close family
member contract
the virus, it made
him even more
aware of just how
important vaccination
was.
“I keep telling
my story for
my community
here. If you get
the Covid virus you don’t
know if you are safe. Being
vaccinated is a support, not
just for you, but for your
loved ones,” Lazo said.
His sister Jacqueline fell
ill two weeks after receiving
her second Covid-19
jab.
“She said: ‘Pray for me,
I’m really worried, I think
I have got Covid’,” Lazo
said.
This was in the family
chat group, incorporating
Lazo and other family
members. She reported
symptoms including a dry
throat, body pains and
feeling weak. He said they
Blade Lazo
tried to boost her spirits
with kind words and
telling her to stay strong.
However, they could not
help but become upset,
particularly as they found
out the results of her Covid
test five days later. It was
positive, for the Delta variant.
The 46-year-old continued
self-isolating at
home, where she lives with
her daughter and granddaughter.
She temporarily
lost her sense of taste and
smell. She recovered and
returned a negative test last
week.
Lazo said he was grateful
that Jacqueline was vaccinated,
as he believes this
saved her from becoming
seriously ill with the virus.
She suspects she caught it
from her cousin who had
recently attended a funeral
service.
Prior to hearing about
his sister’s Covid-19
symptoms, Lazo and
fellow members of Pinoy
CARES Canterbury had
approached Pegasus Health
to find out about holding
the pop-up vaccination
clinic at Rolleston.
Legal Matters
Caveat Emptor – Buyer Beware
when Purchasing at Auction
Sale by Auction is prevalent in the
current property market. Buyers
should be aware that on the
fall of the hammer the Auction
Agreement is unconditional, and
they are essentially “locked in”
and legally obliged to complete
settlement of their purchase.
We summarise some of the key
steps potential purchasers can
take to ensure they are ready to
bid:
1. Register your interest in
the property: A seller (Vendor)
can withdraw a property
from sale at any time prior to
the auction date. If you are
particularly keen to secure a
property you may consider
submitting a pre-auction offer
to the Vendor. If another party
submits a pre-auction offer, and
the auction is brought forward,
you will then be notified if you
have registered your interest
with the agent.
2. Review the Property
Information Pack: Another
reason to register your interest
with the agent is to obtain a
copy of the Property Information
Pack. This is likely to contain
the Auction Agreement, Record
of Title and Land Information
Memorandum. It may also
contain details of the current
insurance policy, a market rental
appraisal and a builder’s report.
3. Obtain unconditional
finance approval: If you reliant
on a loan, ensure you have
unconditional approval from
your finance provider. A general
pre-approval may not suffice
as often the bank will want to
approve the specific property
being purchased. The bank
may also require a satisfactory
valuation prior to the auction
date.
4. Deposit: If you are
successful at auction it is
common for a deposit of 10% of
the purchase price to be payable
on the day. You should be
aware that you cannot use your
KiwiSaver funds for payment of
the deposit when purchasing at
auction.
5. Do not overspend: Set
yourself a limit and do not bid
over the maximum price you
can afford. There are no legal
remedies available to you if you
overbid and are subsequently
unable to afford to complete
settlement.
6. Advise your Solicitor you
intend to bid: We often review
Auction Information Packs, can
ensure all is in order and are
here to guide you through the
process.
Whether you are a Vendor or
Purchaser, we are here to assist.

Milestone celebration for artists
DARFIELD ARTWEEK organisers
will celebrate 40 years of annual art
exhibitions this weekend.
Malvern Community Arts Council
chairman Philip Baldwin said Darfield
Artweek began as a weekend exhibition
by local artists.
“It has grown to a 10-day celebration of
art that attracts entries from as many as
160 artists in Selwyn District, the city of
Christchurch, and countrywide,” Baldwin
said.
There would be more than 300 artworks
by at least 130 artists at the exhibition, at
Darfield Recreation Centre. These numbers
compared favourably with last year’s
351 works by 160 artists, considering the
uncertainty that the August lockdown
had caused, Baldwin said.
At the same time, the arts council would
showcase artworks at Te Huanui Art Gallery
in Darfield by outstanding artists who
had exhibited at Darfield Artweek and the
gallery over the last 40 years.
Judge Shirin Khosraviani, curator of the
Ashburton Art Gallery, will announce the

winner of the $2000 Malvern Community
Arts Council premier award at the opening
night gala on Friday.
An array of additional awards, donated
by local sponsors, will also be presented.
“We are thrilled at the level of sponsorship
from local businesses and donations
from individuals which make it possible
for us to offer a generous list of awards,”
Baldwin said.
“This will allow everyone to visit and
appreciate the breadth of artistic talent
that Artweek attracts,” Baldwin said.

IT’S BEEN a hard
day’s night for Lincoln
University entomology
research collection curator
John Marris and his team.
They recently completed
the mammoth task of
adding 14,000 new beetle
specimens to the university’s
collection.
The beetles, gifted by the
University of Canterbury,
represent the single largest
donation of specimens in
the collection’s 50-year
history.
Numbering almost 1000
species, many of which are
new to science, the specimens
add significantly
to the overall coverage of
insect biodiversity within
the Lincoln collection.
As such, they are a large
addition to the existing
250,000 pinned insects
already held.
Lincoln University
houses one of the country’s
largest entomology collections
and is the only
university-based collection
in New Zealand.
The collection is used by
Lincoln staff and students,
as well as national and
international researchers,
as an identification
reference library and as
a source for new species’
descriptions.
Marris said the beetle
donation came from a
large study on the impact
of forest changes on the
invertebrate fauna in
the Hurunui District. It
focused on topics such as
BUG INVASION: Thousands of new beetle
specimens at Lincoln University will be an
important resource for future research, says
entomology research collection curator John
Marris.
declining forest cover and
edge effects from adjacent
pastoral land.
“It will be an important
resource for future
research on the impacts
of changes to our forests,”
Marris said.
The project took
research technician
Sally Ladbrook around 700
hours to complete.
It was was supported
by funding from the
Brian Mason Scientific and
Technical Trust, which
provides grants for science
and technology in the
Canterbury and Westland
regions.
The New Zealand insect
fauna consists of 10,000
described (named) species,
but it is estimated that
another 10,000 species are
yet to be described.
Beetles account for 40
per cent of all insect species.
The overwhelming
majority of New Zealand
insect species, more than
90 per cent, are endemic to
New Zealand.

Fastball45 tournament
Razorbacks warm up
for softball season
• By John Cosgrove
THE ROLLESTON
Razorbacks had a good
hit out at the two-day preseason
Halswell Fastball45
softball tournament held
over the weekend.
Five women’s and seven
men’s teams lined up for
the fast-paced round-robin
tournament.
Each game starts with
two runners already on
bases and lasts for 45min
or four innings, which
ever comes first.
While fast-paced,
the game is also a very
tactical one with lots of
bunts, hits and runs, and
squeeze plays called by
coaches.
Parklands Christchurch
United Devils men’s team
were on the winning side
of the action at the end of
the two days, taking the
outright win after a close

With the final score tied
at 7-7, the Devils took the
win on a countback, beating
ELE Papanui in the
first three countback criteria
of double plays, squeeze
play runs and power play
runs.
The Kaiapoi Queens

the womens trophy while
runners up Sydenham

and ELE Papanui premier
men kept them honest all
the way to the end in both
matches.

Next stage of town centre
under way
With Te Ara Ātea and the Sensory Space nearing completion,
the next stage of work on the Rolleston Town Centre has begun.
Council contractors are installing new services, car parks and
completing the new slow speed road connecting Moore Street and
Rolleston Drive. The work is due to be completed in May 2022.
A section of the Rolleston Reserve greenspace is closed to allow
work to occur, and the playground and skate park will be closed at
times during construction, when work is required in those areas.
Access will remain for the Scouts Den, Playcentre, tennis courts and
Rolleston Community Centre.

Council calls for time out on Government’s
water reform proposal
Selwyn District Council has called for a pause in the Government’s water reform proposal, and
will not agree to transfer any water assets to a new entity without full engagement with the
Selwyn community.
The Council has sent its formal response to Minister for Local Government Nanaia Mahuta on the
Government’s proposed three waters reform proposals.
The Council has reiterated calls for a pause in the water reform process, first proposed by the
Canterbury Mayoral Forum chaired by Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton.
“As yet, we do not believe the case for change has been proven for Selwyn. In our response we
have asked the Government for more information to help us fully understand certain issues and for
time to consult with our community before making any decisions,” Mayor Broughton says.
The Council has committed to consult with Selwyn residents before opting in or out of the reforms.
It is essential the public has a voice and is heard both in the reform proposals and the ongoing
governance of our most essential service, Mayor Broughton says.
“Informal feedback has indicated that our communities’ primary concern is about losing a local
say in the running of their assets."
The response also calls on the Government to answer important questions about the detail of
how the reform would work, before the Council and the public can make an informed decision.
Among its questions the Council has asked for more information about how projected future costs
have been calculated, how the partnership with mana whenua will work, how local community
input into decision making will be retained, and how local planning priorities will be protected
under the proposed changes.
The Council’s focus is to make sure communities continue to have secure, safe access to
affordable water services, Mayor Broughton says.
Partnership to better manage Selwyn Crown
pastoral leases
A first-of-its-kind agreement has been made as part of efforts to better manage Crown pastoral leases
in Selwyn, and protect the native plants and animals that call them home.
The Council and Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand have signed a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) to share consent information on these unique landscapes.
Toitū Te Whenua is responsible for managing eight Crown pastoral leases in Selwyn and these cover
85,000 hectares, including areas of native biodiversity.
To carry out certain activities on the land, leaseholders need to apply for consent to Toitū Te Whenua,
the council, or sometimes both.
Toitū Te Whenua Chief Executive Gaye Searancke says both agencies saw an opportunity to work more
closely together to achieve better outcomes for the land and make the process easier for leaseholders.
“We were already sharing consent information case-by-case. This agreement will take that to the next
level. We will now share information on consents relating to land-use change and development, such
as cultivation, earthworks, tracking and removal of native vegetation. It will also make things simpler for
leaseholders.”
Ms Searancke says the MOU is the first of its kind for Crown pastoral leases in New Zealand.
Council Chief Executive David Ward says the Council
is looking forward to working more closely with Toitū
Te Whenua and the leaseholders to ensure Selwyn’s
indigenous fauna and flora is protected and well managed.
“We know indigenous biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand
is under threat, and this MOU is a small step in ensuring
our district continues to protect its outstanding and unique
natural environment.
“As a council we are required by law to ensure these
special features can be enjoyed by future generations and
continue to be part of our identity.”

Faces of Selwyn – A connection to Selwyn and art
Living in Selwyn came as a bit of a surprise for Malvern artists, Soon-Lee Spicer and Asako Ridgen.
The pair met through their shared passion for art.
“Asako didn’t know any artists in Selwyn and I only knew one – so we started up the Selwyn Artists
Collective and I think we’ve got about 50 members now. It’s just this really vibrant, exciting thing,” says
Soon-Lee.
After joining the group in August 2020, Asako says she made lots of friends, often bumping into them at
the fish and chip shop or kindergarten.
“It’s just so easy to connect to people [in Selwyn] and wherever you go there’s familiar faces and I love
that,” says Soon-Lee.
Asako is from Japan and Soon-Lee grew up in Malaysia and has lived around New Zealand.
“When I was a little girl living in Malaysia, if you’d ask me, I probably wanted a metropolitan lifestyle of
high rise apartments and lots of glamour, and bright city lights,” says Soon-Lee.
But after studying mathematics and law in Dunedin, where she met her husband, and working as a
lawyer in Auckland, Soon-Lee found herself living in Darfield with her husband and two kids, working as
an artist and art teacher.
“We have a lifestyle property with cows, chickens and sheep, just nowhere near where I thought I’d be,
but what a cool surprise to have ended up here!”
As a teenager, Asako dreamed of being an animator in America because of her love for Disney movies
and drawing. She first came to New Zealand aged 15 as an exchange student studying at Darfield
High School.
“The first time I lay down on the lawn in bare feet, it was just an
amazing experience. I still remember that as my highlight in my
exchange student memory.”
Asako attended art university in Japan for two years but found it
hard, especially the 13-hour art exam.
Instead she moved to Dunedin for three years, before coming
back to Greendale with her Kiwi husband and their two children,
where she continues her art journey in linocut printmaking.
Tune into PlainsFM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this
week at 5pm to listen live and hear Soon-Lee Spicer and Asako
Ridgen, Monika Rastogi, Ritodhi Chakraborty and Aline Carrara’s
stories – or visit selwyn.govt.nz/facesofselwyn to find the Faces of

PREBBLETON Touch members
are launching into the new
season in spite of alert level 2.
Convener Dave Forrester
said the module’s main focus
had been on contact tracing,
bubbles and sanitising equipment.
“We have had to spend a huge
amount of time, and quite a lot
of money, preparing a plan that
will enable us to run touch at
Prebbleton within the level 2
rules,” Forrester said.
“We have re-arranged our field
locations so that we maintain a
clear bubble for each field, and
have increased the time between
games to enable entry and exit
without contact.”
Prebbleton Touch will start
for open grades next week, on
October 14, and junior grades the
following week, on October 21.
The module has about 1100
players, ranging from school new
entrants to adults.
This season there is an under
19 grade aimed at bridging the
gap between youth grade and
open grades, while a popular social
grade introduced last season
has 50 per cent more players than
last season.

Double ton for Mariu
RISING STAR Rhys Mariu
wasted no time getting into
form for the new country
cricket season as the former
New Zealand under-19 captain
slugged an unbeaten double
ton to power Ohoka to a
commanding win over
Lincoln.
The opener’s stunning
202 from just 128 deliveries
set up a whopping
214-run victory during
Saturday’s opening
round of the premier one
day competition.
Mariu’s assault at Mandeville
included a century’s worth of
boundaries and a half dozen
sixes as Ohoka amassed 368/4
from their allotted 45 overs.
He also combined with Will
Hamilton (68 from 60) to add
138 for the second wicket. In
reply Lincoln could only muster
154 before they were dismissed
in the 39th over.
In other games defending
champion Weedons secured a
hard-fought win over Sefton
while Darfield and Cheviot also
started successfully.
At Weedons Domain the hosts
were limited to 135 as their innings
lasted just 30 overs, but a
run-a-ball 87 from opener Todd
Inness enabled them to post a
defendable total after veteran
Jeff Jones snared four wickets.
Set a seemingly attainable
chase, Sefton’s innings faltered
as Blake Coburn, Charlie Robson
and Sam Clarke took three
wickets apiece before Sefton fell
22 runs short.
Cheviot cruised to a six-wicket
win over Southbrook at
Rangiora’s MainPower
Oval in spite of an unbeaten
century by Canterbury
star Jack Boyle.
Boyle’s 109 lifted
Southbrook to 208/4,
but Cheviot overhauled
Rhys Mariu the target with 20 balls to
spare,thanks to a classy
unbeaten 86 by Archie Redfern.
Darfield defended 195 on their
home track against Oxford-Rangiora
through a solid team effort
to prevail by 40 runs.
Short scorecards:
Weedons 135 (T Inness 87, B Coburn

In New Zealand there
are more than 5220 beetle

One family of beetles

invasive weeds such as
alligator weed, ragwort, St

One native genus in this

is commonly found, but
more taxonomic work

identification. Past species
numbers in this genus
were thought to be as high

BESIDE RE/MAX ECLIPSE
Local travel business
bucks the trend
For the last 18 months, during the most tumultuous
period that they have ever experienced, local
Helloworld Rolleston business owners Paul and Sue
Robinson have remained committed to their extensive
client base in the Selwyn region. When their lease
expired in Rolleston Square, and with no immediate
sign of a managed opening of the border, Paul and Sue
decided to kit out a smart portacom on-site beside
their other business RE/MAX Eclipse at 6 Tennyson
Street Rolleston as a temporary means of business
continuation.
Undoubtedly, the travel industry has had the biggest
effect from Covid with very little income for the past
18 months. However, the team at Helloworld have been
feverishly busy assisting their clients and families return
to New Zealand through a maze of regulatory changes,
collapsed cruise lines, continued flight cancellations,
and re-bookings.
“We simply couldn’t close up, despite the financial
pressure we had as we had a multitude of people we
needed to help with refunds and re-bookings,” says Sue.
“We feel the frustration of our clients. We have had
people in tears after cancellations of once-in-a-lifetime
trips, while others, due to health reasons, will never
experience their dream holiday. And that’s been so sad
to deal with. The saving grace was our decision to open
RE/MAX Eclipse Real Estate, which has subsidised
Helloworld and its fixed costs to keep the store open
and some local staff in employment.”
Paul and Sue are now beginning to feel that the
light at the end of the tunnel is starting to emerge
with the UK, USA and other countries opening up for
vaccinated travellers. There is a growing hope that NZ
will have some form of managed opening as soon as
vaccination levels rise.
“We are here for the long term and simply can’t wait
to see the world re-open, and with the pent-up market
waiting for the gears to change, we get the feeling that
people will want to travel with less delay and enjoy
smaller and more unique experiences,” says Sue. “We
can’t wait to be part of this again.”

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Majestic creatures to feature
The Ellesmere A&P Association once had
a role in advocating for improved draught
horse bloodlines in the district. In 1935 a
Clydesdale stallion – from Henley, Otago
- was chosen to travel Selwyn under the
auspices of the association. This scheme
was short-lived. By 1937 the scheme was
expected to make a loss, in view of the
price of horses and the market trend,
and less than whole-hearted support by
members, so the scheme was discontinued.
Horse and Stallion Parades, organised by
the association and held in late September,
were an opportunity for stud owners to
show off their finest bloodlines. Something
akin to the modern-day reality tv series
‘The Bachelorette’, the annual parade was
held prior to the annual Show, allowing
farmers to compare stallions ‘in the flesh’
before mating season began.
Annual ploughing matches, run by the
association from 1920 to 1927 (ploughing
matches were held prior to 1920 and
organised by an independent Ploughing
Match Committee) were a marvellous
spectacle of working horsepower – teams
of beautifully groomed and ribbon
bedecked Clydesdales with polished
harness and sparkling nickel plate.
The abandonment of the ploughing
matches heralded the decline of the role
of the Clydesdale. Show competitors
dwindled as a result. The Ellesmere
Guardian of May 1944 commented that
the 1943 Ellesmere Show was the first
time on record that Clydesdales were
deleted from the programme and ‘many
expressions of regret were voiced that
such a course has been necessary by the
development of mechanical power in
agricultural pursuits’.
In the intervening years the number of
Clydesdale breeders declined and hence
numbers being exhibited at local shows.
That makes it more exciting having the
Clydesdale Association supporting the
special 150th Ellesmere A&P Association
Show this year.

Digits crossed for Selwyn show
The Ellesmere A & P Committee has its
fingers firmly crossed that the Government
will lift the Level 2 COVID restrictions
in time to allow for the public to attend
the Show’s 150th anniversary at this year’s
‘Selwyn Spring Show’ under Level 1. A
decision will be made by the Committee in
early October as to what level the Selwyn
Spring Show will run at. This could result
in a Level 2 set Show even if a late change
to Level 1 occurs before 16 October. This
special show setting will
over-ride any subsequent
Government determined
late Level 1 changes. If
we remain at Level 2, or
there is a late Government
change to Level 1 just
before the show, then the
show will only be open to
exhibitors with no public
and under tightly managed
conditions. This is because
there simply would not be
enough time to facilitate
the requirements to cater
for an open public event.
Everyone is hoping though
that we can celebrate
under Level 1 with our
gates open to all. The
Association would like to
thank everyone for their
continued support through
these uncertain times and
acknowledges those who
The oldest trophy held by

have entered all the classes with pleasingly
high numbers.
If this happens then everyone will be
delighted to see the mighty Clydesdales
back. Arguably the most majestic of all the
farmed animals and the perennial Show
favourite, the Clydesdale played an integral
role in the development of farming in
Ellesmere. This role will be celebrated at
this year’s show, where the Clydesdales
will be competing for two 150th Show
medallions – Supreme Clydesdale and Best
Clydesdale Handler.
The oldest silverware still
retained by the Association
is an ornate cup first
presented in 1876 to John
McKellar’s ‘Prince Royal’ for
the Ellesmere Agricultural
Association’s Publican’s
Cup Best Draught Entire
travelling the District. John
McKellar was Scottish
born, residing firstly in
Otago upon arrival in New
Zealand, before moving to
Ellesmere. He originally
farmed in Doyleston and
later farmed Oak Farm in
Southbridge until retiring
into Southbridge in 1906.
He was an exhibitor and
prize winner at the first
Ellesmere Show. John was
on the A&P Committee
from 1879-1892 and was
Vice President in 1889.
The 1912 Christchurch Press obituary for
Mr McKellar notes ‘he was well respected
in the stud draught horse business, owning
a number of high-class horses at different
times, several of which were recognised as
the best in Canterbury in their day.
In 1927 the trustees of his estate
presented the Association a mounted
collection of medals won by his horses in
show competition’.
Entries for the Clydesdale sections this
year are looking very robust so let’s hope
the Government gives the South Island
the green light just in time to see these
wonderful horses back in the show ring.

Many projects are underway in
Selwyn to protect and improve
freshwater, including attempts
to limit damaging sediment and
stormwater.
Sediment is fine particles of
soil that when it rains, flows
through stormwater drains or
down hillsides, into streams
and rivers. It’s harmful to many
aquatic species, including kōwaro
(Canterbury mudfish), tuna (eel)
and pātiki (flounder).
“Stopping sediment from
entering waterways is crucial, as
sediment smothers fish habitat, makes it
hard for them to see their food, and once
it’s in the waterway, is extremely difficult to
remove,” Selwyn Waihora Zone Delivery
Lead Gill Jenkins said.
Earthworks near waterways and land
developments pose some of the biggest
risks when it comes to sediment in
In Selwyn Waihora zone waterways.
Knowingly allowing sediment to runoff
into waterways can sometimes result in
fines for those responsible.
During a rain was the best time to see
where sediment was coming from both
in urban and rural areas, Jenkins said.
Anyone seeing sediment or erosion
issues during heavy rains, or at building/
construction sites, could call the council’s
incident response hotline on 0800 765
588. “Once we know where it is, we can
investigate and work with those managing
the site to improve their practice.”
Environment Canterbury (ECan) had
an “online toolbox with tips and tricks” to
make sure sites are prepared to handle any
rain events and keep sediment on-site and
out of streams.

GARDENING 33
Fill your garden with delicious treats
• By Henri Ham
OCTOBER IS probably one of
the busiest months in the garden
– the jobs are endless but it’s also
a fun time to fill up your garden
with delicious treats such as
cucumbers, basil, tomatoes and
pops of colour.
General tidy up:
• Mulch your gardens to retain
moisture and suppress weed
growth
• Deadhead flowers to
encourage more growth
• Clean up dead leaves and
twigs as they may be harbouring
disease
• Remove moss from paths and
driveways
• Keep on top of your weeds
• Clean your tools – your
garden tools will be getting a
workout this season. Give them a
good clean and apply some olive
oil to prevent rust.
• Feed strawberries and
passionfruit
Cucumbers, capsicums, chillies,
pumpkins, tomatoes and zucchini
– it’s their time to shine. If you’re
new to gardening or thinking of
giving it a go – now is the perfect
time to dig in and get started.
If you’re still experiencing cold
snaps and frost in your area, we
recommend holding off planting
your tomatoes until the weather
warms up.
SUCCULENT: It’s now time to get your cucumber plants in the garden, you will be rewarded when it comes time to
make those summer salads. Russian tarragon is a must-have in any garden, it has a strong anise flavour.
Kumara, a Kiwi favourite
wouldn’t you say? If you’re
planting kumara this year, make
sure your soil isn’t too acidic.
Kumara prefers soil with a pH
level of around 6.0 to 6.5 – to get
the best of your crop make sure
that the base of your soil is solid
as this will prevent the roots from
growing all over the place and
encourage more tubers.
Basil and russian tarragon are
a must-have in any herb garden.
Basil works well planted amongst
your tomatoes to deter any bugs,
apparently, it intensifies the taste
of the tomato too.
Russian tarragon which is
actually part of the lettuce family
has quite a strong anise flavour,
it works well with roasts and as a
garnish.
Salad planting, keep planting
your lettuce, spring onions so that
you have plenty in the warmer
months.
If you’re after a berry-filled
summer, start planting your
raspberry, blueberry and
blackberry bushes now.
Just remember that slugs are
still about, try using a bait to
prevent these little guys from
eating all your hard work.
Add some colour to your
garden. Cosmos, dahlias,
gazanias, livingstone daisies and
petunias are popular this time
of year – these varieties are great
for border, bedding and hanging
baskets which is great for those
that have smaller gardens. Plant
some flowers around your vege
garden too to encourage those
little pollinators.
It’s also time to spray your roses
to prevent any fungal disease, it’s
also a good time to feed them as
they’ll be growing like crazy at the
moment.
Your lawns will be growing
at a rapid rate this month, keep
them looking lush by occasionally
applying lawn fertiliser is a blend
of nutrients that your lawn will
love, the high levels of nitrogen
will encourage thick, healthy
growth and prevent disease.
Keep an eye out for broadleaf
– if you spot some make sure to
spray them with weedkiller so
that they don’t take over your
hard work and resow any patchy
areas
Plant whatever takes your fancy.
If you’re a beginner gardener
there’s never been a better month
to start experimenting.
Garden
In the
with intelligro
Growing veggies is a
great way to get the
whole family involved
in gardening. It is very
rewarding eating meals
with veggies you have
grown yourself.
The other bonus of
growing your own
vegetables is that you
can grow what you what,
you know what they are
growing in, and have
confidence in knowing
they are free from nasty
sprays.
What you’ll need...
• Veggie Garden Mix
• Veggie seedlings
• Something to plant in
– we love the Vegepods
and the Birdie’s Garden Beds!
Where to Start...
Once you have chosen where and what you are
planting in, grab your Veggie Mix and fill the area.
If you have an established garden that needs
rejuvenating, then mix through some organic compost
and sheep pellets or veggie mix to give it the boost.
Stagger your planting. For example, if you plant
6 lettuces at once, they will all be ready at the same
time. Stagger the planting a week or two apart so you
have an ongoing supply through the season.
Key tips for a bumper crop
• Keep the plants pest, disease and weed-free
• Establish a good watering routine. Plants will bolt to seed
if they feel that they are under stress from lack of watering
• Make sure they have enough nutrients to sustain healthy
growth

Nissan Navara comes to the rescue
MY WIFE AND I have called it
the week from hell.
Firstly, our power went off
thanks to a corroded wire from
the street. While we thought we
were well advanced in terms of
preparedness – generator, gas
cooker, torches and plenty of
batteries – for 24 hours we struggled
without electricity with an
overnight low of a miserable -5
deg C.
Secondly, the fluctuating power
surge as the wire arced against the
house, spelt the end of one of our
freezers, it was full of frozen food,
quickly defrosting.
Thankfully, and at short notice,
we had a rental delivered until the
time we could buy a new freezer
and have it installed so no food
was lost.
That’s where Nissan’s new
Navara ute comes in. We bought
a new freezer and I used the ute
to pick it up from the collection
depot, I also used the vehicle
to deliver the old freezer to the
Parkhouse Rd recycling centre
along with a dryer that had long
been sitting in the garage unused
and was well past its used by date.
That’s where today’s double
cab ute comes in, it’s not only the
working vehicle with substantial
off-road, four-wheel-drive ability,
it’s the sedate and versatile carryall
that will also whisk families to
all those environments we travel
to on a daily basis and, might I
add, in comfort.
Nissan has just released a new
Navara, well, it’s a new shape with
a major overhaul inside, but the
mechanicals are largely a carryover.
That’s fine, the 2.3-litre
four-cylinder diesel engine is a
cracker in terms of sophistication,
so much so that Nissan must
have the other ute manufacturers
thinking hard about refinement.
The Navara also has a complex
rear suspension; gone are the
old leaf springs that are mostly
traditional with today’s pick-ups,
the Navara has a coil spring,
multiple-link set-up that locates
the live rear axle. It eliminates a
lot of the jiggle you get with utes
over uneven surfaces.
At the other end the twinturbocharged
diesel is rated by
Nissan at 140kW and 450Nm. The
origins of this engine hark back to
Nissan’s early alliance with Renault
and that collaboration shows,
there are high power outputs and
a smoothness that’s hard to match.
There’s no lumpy diesel throb here,
it works away in a soft, silent manner
and is very responsive. Not
only do the power outputs impress
through its 2298cc displacement,
it is also a fuel miser.
Nissan claims a 7.6-litre per
100km combined cycle average.
My time with the evaluation
vehicle required a lot of inner-city
running around incorporating
those tasks I mentioned in my
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE: Genuine off-road ability.
NISSAN NAVARA ST-X: Home appliances are easily catered for on the ute’s deck..
introduction. That being the
case, I wasn’t expecting to come
close to Nissan’s claims, but I
did return it to the dealership
with 9l/100km showing on the
readout. On my long highway
run to Hororata and Dunsandel,
a steady 100km/h cruise had the
engine sipping fuel at the rate of
6l/100km instantaneously, the
rev counter pointing to a lazy
1750rpm in seventh gear.
Yes, the ST-X has an automatic
seven-speeder and it, too, is one
of relative smoothness, shifts are
quick and can be encouraged
through a sequential shifting system
at the main gearshift lever.
Another interesting driveline
function is the four-mode
drive-type selector, it ranges
from standard to sport, tow and
off-road, I largely left it in normal
mode, but for those who like to
explore maximum efficiencies
those modes are there to help.
Elsewhere, the Navara is also
very car-like to drive, sure at over
5.2m it is a big vehicle and a trial
to fit into a standard city metered
car park, but it has a purpose
and it’s unashamedly suited for
that. On the deck you can load
the traditional one-tonne, and it
is rated with a 3500kg tow figure
(braked).
In terms of transportation it
will also carry five adults, the rear
seats don’t have a lot of rake but
• Price – Nissan Navara ST-
X, $57,490
• Dimensions – Length,
5255mm; width, 1850mm;
height, 1815mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2298cc, 140kW, 450Nm,
seven-speed automatic
• Performance – 0-100km/h,
9.4sec
• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km
they are easily as comfortable as
any of the competition.
Up front there are heated seats
(full leather trim), and as much
technology as you could expect
from a modern ute. Satellite navigation
is fitted in ST-X models
along with cruise control and full
electrics.
On the highway the Navara
moves quietly and with much
dignity. In terms of handling it
enters a corner with solid turn-in
and little transition of weight. The
rear is far from lively and even
though part of my highway evaluation
was on wet roads, I never
thought the suspension would
let me down in terms of keeping
the tyres gripping well the road
surface.
Interestingly, the Navara rides
on 255/60 x 18in Toyo tyres and
they must be commended for
their quiet operating manner and
effective feedback to the driver.
Nissan has a comprehensive
Navara line-up – single-cab, king
cab and double cab – with two
and four-wheel-drive drivelines
and manual and automatic transmission
options.
The range starts from $41,990
and ends at $67,990 for the flashy
Pro 4X. I drove that model prior
to picking up the ST-X and it
made an immediate impression
on me for its body kit and chunky
tyres, yet, it too, drives in the
civilised manner that this series
of Navara can take enormous
credit for.
The ST-X on the other hand
doesn’t miss out on much to the
Pro 4X, but it is not so in-yourface
in terms of style. That being
the case, I’d easily settle for the
base to mid-grade models.
The new Navara comes at an
opportune time. The Government
tax on utes is set for January
and buyers are flocking to them
to save the extra cost that is expected
to be somewhere between
$2780-$5175.
Nissan assures me supply is
constant and interest in the newcomer
is high. I can see why, it
certainly sits as one of the market
leaders.
I know it certainly arrived in
my driveway at an opportune
time. My wife and I are so
grateful.

From the beat
to the ward
After 18 years in the New Zealand
Police Force, Ally Ealam has embarked
on a whole new career.
The former frontline senior sergeant recently graduated from
Ara Institute of Canterbury with a New Zealand Diploma in Enrolled Nursing
and is now working in aged care in Rangiora where she grew up.
Ally says she’d “seen it all” as a police officer. “I attended some pretty horrific
jobs over the years. Some of them I’ll never forget, but those experiences
made me the person I am today.”
Although Ally decided to step away from enforcement, she wanted to do
something that drew upon her many years of work experience and her past
involvement in St John Ambulance. Enrolled nursing fit the bill perfectly.
“I’d heard Ara was a fantastic place to learn. I loved the whole learning
environment and the buzz of learning - it reminded me of my Police College
days.”
During her studies, Ally had clinical placements in a variety of health
settings. “I got to watch two emergency caesarean sections,” she says. “That
was amazing - I cried under my facemask!”
When she was in the Police, Ally loved working with the elderly. Now that
she’s gained her nursing diploma, she’s thrilled to be working with seniors
again – this time as an enrolled nurse at Bainswood on Victoria in Rangiora.
“Ara equipped me with the skills and confidence to work with our elderly
and I’m really enjoying it. I’m looking after and connecting with the residents
and their families, getting experience in assessing and dressing wounds,
managing medication, working with our local GPs and palliative care nurses
and so much more. I feel absolutely privileged to be able to do what I do.”
“
There’s definitely a place
for women in engineering.

Digger driver becomes
design engineer
Not so long ago, Steph Crosson
(Ngāti Whātua) was working in the civil
works industry, driving a digger all day.
That was until she decided she wanted
something more out of life.
“
I loved the whole learning
experience and the buzz of
learning.
”
Enrolled nurse
Ally Ealam.
“I had this overwhelming feeling that it wasn’t enough,” she says.
Her job involved working around engineers and she started to become
interested in what they were doing and why. “I kinda just wanted to be
part of that.” So, she took the “daunting” step of enrolling in a mechanical
engineering degree at Ara.
Three years later and instead of driving a digger, Steph has the skills to
design one. “I could design the hydraulic systems, the components within it
and even the things the diggers are building.”
Before coming to Ara, Steph’s last experience of education was at high
school in Timaru. She never thought she’d come back to study, but once she
took the plunge, she thrived in Ara’s hands-on learning environment.
“Ara was great – the whole way through. I wouldn’t study anywhere else.
The class sizes were perfect to me because you got to know everyone, and
everybody helped each other out. The facilities were awesome, and the
tutors were great, really supportive.”
Steph says being a woman in engineering has been no problem. “There’s
definitely a place for women in engineering because we bring a new
perspective to problem solving and creativity. I never felt excluded at Ara – it
was a really supportive learning space and so much fun.”
International consultancy company Beca offered Steph a job as she neared
the completion of her studies and she says she couldn’t have asked for a
better end to her degree.
“I just really want to encourage anyone – it doesn’t matter your age or your
background – that study is a viable option. Life’s too short to muck around.
Just own your life and make it happen. Learn more, know more, do more.”

Building skills for a
brighter future
Tony Siva is proudly Samoan and
even prouder since he took a trades
course at Ara and got himself an
apprenticeship to become a builder.
Why did you choose to learn a trade?
To build a better future for my family by becoming a qualified builder. Also,
the course was free through Ara’s Pacific Trades Training scheme.
What was your experience at Ara like?
I thought it would be awkward because of my age, being surrounded by
kids who just finished school. But my tutors were great – they made learning
relevant and fun – and I was encouraged all the way.
What did you enjoy most about your course?
As well as learning how to build a house and things like retaining walls, decks
and fences, we learned how to interpret our culture through woodwork, so I
also made a To’oto’o (Samoan chief’s staff).
What kind of support did you receive through
Pacific Trades Training?
There’s lots of care and support provided - like bus money, petrol vouchers,
food vouchers, counsellors and advisors. And Ara’s
Pacific Island Students Association offers a lot too.
What are you doing now?
I’m doing my apprenticeship at Home NZ Construction.
What are your plans for the future?
I want to buy or build my own house and hopefully go back to Samoa to help
rebuild my village.
What advice would you give to anyone contemplating study?
It’s never too late to study or change your career path. If you work hard and
put the time and effort into a trade, I guarantee you’ll reap the benefits.
“

Support at the ready
for all learners
Ara’s dedicated Disability Services
team has a simple objective: equity
in education.
“We aim to level the playing field to allow students with impairments to have
equitable access to their chosen course and future path,” explains Ara disability
advisor, Rose Edgar.
Ara can help support students with almost any impairment or long-term medical
condition including dyslexia, epilepsy, autism spectrum conditions, chronic
fatigue, mental health difficulties (e.g. depression), traumatic brain injury, or
hearing, visual and physical impairments such as spina bifida and paralysis.
The team works with students to find supports or adjustments that will help
reduce any barriers they face due to disabilities or health conditions. “That
might be extra time for exams, finding technology which supports their learning,
communicating with tutors about changes that need to be made during classes,
or connecting students with other support services in and around Ara,” says
student advisor, Kirstie McHale. “Once a student signs up with us, we work
with them to create an individualised access plan which outlines the targeted
support in place for them.”
Kirstie adds that for some students, reader/writer assistance in an exam can be
the difference between passing and failing. “Timed exams can be a real barrier
for students with learning difficulties that affect their reading or writing. Having
a support person to read questions aloud,
or write down verbal answers, allows students to show what they know in an
exam situation more accurately.”
Support is available across all Ara campuses and Rose encourages individuals
to contact Disability Services as soon as they’re thinking about studying at Ara.
“We understand that people are sometimes apprehensive about asking for help.
Often people attach a stigma to the word disability and won’t seek the help
they’re entitled to, but we encourage anyone who could benefit from our help to
get in touch. We’re here to support you in the best way we can. The smartest thing
you can do for your study is to make use of all the support available to you.”

Unassuming Quality!
If you’re seeking style with substance, then look no
further. This home’s crisp lines and interconnected
living offer contemporary ambience with a
distinctive personality.
The timeless configuration cleverly separates
public and private spaces, ensuring family harmony
no matter your age or stage. Living is generous,
with both open plan and separate options, while a
separate study or snug offers further flexibility. The
remainder of the floorplan includes four double
bedrooms, master with ensuite and sought-after
separate storage loaded laundry and double
garaging.
The living areas are complemented by a
sophisticated Marantz home entertainment system
and the home is heated via a ducted system
keeping you cosy in winter but given the home’s sunsaturated
orientation, you’ll hardly need to use it.
Busy professionals will appreciate low maintenance
construction and garden with ample space for
entertaining friends and family. The indoor-outdoor
flow to the west facing deck houses an inbuilt BBQ
and fridge. Along with this, and the generous kitchen
and walk-in scullery you will surely enjoy some
mouth-watering meals.
Located opposite a park, complete with basketball
court and playground, allows plenty of outdoor
activities for family fun without the upkeep a large
section requires.
Our vendors have secured another alternative for
their family and are keen to move to the next phase
of their lives.

a new home. Most need to be made before plans are
lodged for consent and construction gets underway.
Housing companies usually guide their clients through
this process.
Whether working with a housing company or
calling on the assistance of an architect or architectural
draftsperson there will be a lot of decisions. The process
will be easier for all concerned, if you have done your
homework first.
Carry out your own research on building trends and
choices. This will help you get a feel for what is available.
Before deciding on your builder, you will want to find
out whether the company will require you to choose
from their existing library of house designs and a set
range of features and fittings, or whether you will have
the freedom to have a more bespoke plan and to choose
any feature available on the market.
As you research, keep records of what you might like
to have in your own home. Initially, you will be idea
gathering. Take photos of aspects within house designs
which appeal to you along with the fittings you like.
List down the key points you would like in your
home:
• number of bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms;
• size of garage e.g. double or triple;
• open plan living, or one or more separated living
spaces;
• kitchen dynamics including whether a pantry or
scullery is a must;
• wardrobes – size and type e.g. walk-in robe in master
bedroom;
• office or study nook needs;
• laundry separate or in the garage;
• cladding and roofing types;
• storage facilities within the home including
cupboards, storerooms and attic trusses;
• type of heating and whether under floor
heating, a ducted system or a log fire;
• double or thermal low-emissivity windows;
• spaciousness of entryway; and
• indoor/outdoor flow.
Think of each room in turn and consider
your family requirements, noting down
features you definitely want.
Consider also fittings such as:
• the exterior doors;
• style of door and handles;
• window catches;
• kitchen joinery and handles;
• bench top options;
• positioning of sink, oven, microwave, dishwasher and
refrigerator within the kitchen;
• bathroom fittings such as the type of vanity, shower
and bath;
• size of windows and how to capitalise on the sun;
• positioning of rooms to allow family interaction and
also quiet areas;
• whether to have a deck or patio; and
• type of seal for your driveway and paths.
Before sitting down with the designer, ensure you
have completed your research and have a clear idea
of what you want, remembering your final choices
will be influenced by your budget, size of section, and
product availability. There may also be design limitations
influenced by building regulations and construction
capabilities.
Researching and making a list will help prepare you
for the many decisions you will need to make in a short
space of time.

REAA - Understanding real estate jargon
Every industry is full of jargon and
buzzwords that make no sense to anyone
who’s not part of the club. Real estate is
no different, which means it can be hard
to get up to speed. Here’s a handy guide
to some of the most common terms
you’ll come across when buying or selling
property.
Agency agreement: If you are using
a licensed real estate agent to sell your
property, you’ll need to sign one of these
agreements - it sets out what the agent will
do and what they will be paid. Remember
you can negotiate the conditions, such as
who pays for marketing and how much
the commission is. Make sure you get
legal advice before you sign, because it’s a
binding document.
BEO or BBO: This stands for ‘Buyer
Enquiry Over’ or ‘Buyer Budget Over’,
which means that price listed on the
advertisement indicates the minimum that
the seller will accept. The seller actually
needs to give serious consideration to any
offer over the BEO, so this figure needs to
be selected carefully.
Deadline Sale or Deadline Private
Treaty: In this kind of sale, a property
is marketed for a set period (with an
advertised end date). The seller can
choose to accept an offer at any stage
during the listing period though it may be
stated in the advertising that ‘no offer will
be accepted prior’. Check the fine print.
LIM: This stands for Land Information
Memorandum, which contains everything
that the local council knows about the
property, such as any issues with drainage
and plumbing, erosion or permits. It will
help you identify if any additions haven’t
got the right consent. A LIM will also
record any unpaid rates.
Sale and purchase agreement: This
is a legally binding contract between the buyer and seller for the purchase/
sale of a property. It provides certainty
to both parties and it sets out in writing
all the agreed terms and conditions. It’s
essential to get legal advice before you
sign an agreement – and that you read
and understand what it means.
Settlement: This is the end goal in a
property transaction, when the sale and
purchase is completed by the exchange of
property and payment. Settlement occurs
when the seller receives the money for the
sale – the buyer will not receive the keys
until this happens.
RV: This stands for ‘Rateable Value’
– this is a value used to calculate local
body rates. It should not be assumed to
be a market value for a property when
it is for sale as the rating valuation may
be a number of years old. It is also not
responsive to local market fluctuations
and may not reflect any recent renovations
to a property. This was formerly known as
‘Government Value’, or GV.
Tender: If a property is for sale by
tender, prospective buyers must submit
confidential written offers by a set date.
Usually there is no minimum price, but
properties are often listed with a BEO or
BBO price. The seller can then choose
the offer that is most acceptable to them,
based on the price and any attached
conditions. The most attractive tender is
likely to be one that combines a good price
with few conditions. Sellers are allowed
to negotiate with any one or more of the
tenderers received after tenders close.

property, check out the REA free guide

SELLING YOUR HOME?

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
What build requirements are there?
Explore what a new stage will look like.
Buying in a subdivision
Section availability is mostly in new
housing estates and the district generally
has a number to choose from, especially in
Rolleston and Lincoln.
Factors influencing section choice will be:
the distance from your workplace, ease of
travelling, services available, size and price
of available sections, and where you would
like to live.
Ground conditions may also be a
consideration. In Selwyn, the land
is generally good for building with
only a standard 364 foundation often
required. Many people are choosing a
RibRaft foundation as it offers seismic
strengthening and may work out more
economical.
A factor which should be high on your
list should be the covenants a developer has
in place and whether these will present any
issues for you.
Any new housing subdivision is likely
to have covenants stipulating what can
and cannot be constructed, in terms of
minimum and maximum house size on
a given section, and aesthetic features
like the roof pitch, acceptable claddings,
landscaping and what is permitted on view
from the street.
The covenants will be supplied with the
Purchase and Sale Agreement. Read these,
asking your lawyer for advice and checking
with your builder to ensure these can be
met before signing on the dotted line.
Before finalising your house plan
with your builder and building consent
application is lodged with Council, send
this and a landscape plan to the developer
for approval. This will avoid costly changes
or problems down the line. There may
be a charge associated with Developer’s
Approval or a refundable bond may be
incurred. This process is put in place to
protect the overall look and integrity of
the housing estate and ensure any damage
incurred during construction is put right.
Certain covenants may seem annoying
however, they protect the environment you
are buying into and can be accommodated
with good design.
The standard of builds in respective
subdivisions may vary from smaller
economic housing to larger sections and
homes. There may also be variations in
the features in each subdivision such as
the street width, number of children’s play
areas, walkways and beautification.
Where you are purchasing off a plan for
a section in a new stage of a subdivision,
ask questions so you appreciate what the
area will ultimately look like. Doing your
homework will help give you surety that
what is proposed will happen. This includes
when title is due, something which can be
slowed by Council consent requirements or
the weather delaying earthworks.
Closeness to schools, shops and public
transport may also be considerations,
especially if you want your children to have
independence by walk to school, a park
or sporting activities. Consider how each
subdivision might suit your lifestyle.
Consider closeness to facilities.

Tips for first home buyers
Struggling to get on the property ladder
and feeling fed up? You’re not alone. Real
Estate Authority (REA) research has found
that more than half of all first home buyers
– even the ones who successfully buy a
property – find the process stressful and
overwhelming.
“We know it’s hard for people when
they’re trying to buy their first home – it’s a
complex legal process and a huge financial
deal. We want to empower them to feel
more confident and in control when they’re
making such a big decision.”
1. SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES
You’ll already know that saving is a big
part of getting ready to buy, but do you
know what else you need to do?
Getting financial advice from a qualified
advisor could be a useful step in your
planning. Owning a property means
you’re responsible for all the maintenance
and repairs – and for paying rates and
insurance. Owning an apartment may also
mean you need to pay body corporate fees.
These costs can be a bit of a shock to the
system if you’ve rented for a long time.
“It’s also a good idea to get conditional
pre-approved finance arranged so you can
move quickly when you spot a property
you really like. Having conditional preapproval
lets you know the price range you
can buy in and it shows agents and sellers
that you’re a serious buyer. It’s also crucial
if you’re planning to bid on a property at
auction.”
Don’t forget to explore ways that
you might be able to get help from the
Government. There are various forms of
This Week’s
assistance available if you’re a KiwiSaver
member, buying in certain areas, want
to buy a former Housing New Zealand
property or are Māori and want to live on
your ancestral land.
2. NEEDS VS WANTS
Many first home buyers discover a big
gap between what they’d like to buy and
what they can afford when they first start
looking.
“Sit down and write a tight list of what
your absolute must-haves are, then work
out what you’re willing to compromise on”.
If you’re thinking about pets and
children arriving in the short-to-medium
term, think about how these will change
your needs. Will you need to be near to
childcare or schools? Will you need a
fenced property?
“If you’re the sort of person who likes a
good list, we’ve got a useful ‘researching the
property’ checklist on settled.govt.nz that
will help you keep track of all the questions
to ask about a property. This is especially
useful if you’re looking at more than one
property at a time.”
3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
Don’t let your desperation to find
somewhere blind you to a property’s faults.
“Do as much research as you can about
a property,” that means getting a lawyer
on board to make sure all the paperwork
is in order and to help you understand if
there are any issues. We also recommend
getting a qualified building inspector who
has professional indemnity insurance to
prepare a comprehensive report on the
property.”
If you’re worried about paying for this
kind of report before you make an offer
(due to a lack of time or funds), you can
make them a condition of your offer.
Remember that paying for good advice is
an investment that will buy you more peace
of mind than a quick once-over by a mate.
4. RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS
Buying a ‘doer-upper’ is a Kiwi tradition,
especially for first-home buyers, but we’re
not all blessed with the right skills. Factor
this in before you make an offer on a
‘renovator’s dream’.
“Be honest with yourselves about how
much DIY you can really do, especially if
you’ve got pets and kids”.
“Getting professionals in to help will
cost more, but it will also make the process
faster. It may also be better in the long term
when it comes to selling the property if any
work has been done properly with the right
consents.”
