Independent 

planner makes 

recommendation 

on controversial 

2000-home 

development 

• By Susan Sandys 

AN INDEPENDENT planner 

has recommended a proposed 

zone change to allow Lincoln’s 

controversial 2000-home 

development not proceed until 

traffic, flooding and other matters 

are addressed. 

Consultant 

planner Nick 

Boyes has made 

the recommendation 

to hearing 

commissioner 

David 

Caldwell, who 

will conduct 

the hearing for 

Sam Elder 

the zone change application from 

November 22 to 26. 

The planner’s recommendation 

has been welcomed by residents 

who oppose the subdivision, 

which would increase the size of 

Lincoln by about 70 per cent. 

The district council received the 

application, from Carter Group, 

last year. Representative Tim 

Carter did not respond to the 

Selwyn Times on what he thought 

of the Boyes recommendation. 

Resident Sam Elder was among 

a majority of Lincoln residents 

opposing the application, named 

Plan Change 69 (PC69).

THREE WEEKS after being 

installed, community-funded 

security cameras at Darfield 

are fulfilling their purpose of 

cleaning up crime. 

Senior Sergeant Stephen 

McDaniel said police reviewed 

footage from the “crime camera” 

project following a Nissan X-Trail 

being stolen from a Darfield address 

at 10.55pm, October 31. 

They were able to identify a 

suspect, leading them to obtain 

and execute a search warrant on 

November 2 at a Christchurch 

address at North Beach. 

“As a result the stolen vehicle 

was located. Other stolen vehicles 

were also located as well as a 

cannabis grow,” McDaniel said. 

He said a 34-year-old male 

was subsequently charged with 

receiving, cultivating cannabis, 

and possession of cannabis for 

supply. Further charges were 

pending. 

McDaniel praised the foresight 

of the Darfield community and 

the Malvern Community Patrol 

for installing the cameras. 

“Together we can make our 

communities safer,” McDaniel 

said. 

The arrest followed another 

apprehension soon after installation 

of the cameras. 

Within 24 hours of the 

cameras going live, police 

located several youths 

involved in the damage of 

vehicles and signs. 

“This is only the start. 

The 23 crime cameras, 

spread out throughout 

Darfield, have established 

a net that will be used to 

catch offenders and keep 

our community safe,” McDaniel 

said following the vandalism

incidents. 

The crime camera 

project was initiated by 

Malvern Community 

Patrol in partnership 

with police. They held 

a public meeting in 

November last year, 

which was attended by 

more than 60 people. 

Immediate past 

chairman Errol Ashby said the 

project was launched following 

Errol Ashby 

overwhelming support from 

businesses and the community. 

“We managed to get funding, 

which was great, and the cameras 

are in,” Ashby said. 

“Already it’s having an effect, I 

think in time it will only prove to 

get better results.” 

The project had cost more than 

$30,000, which had been secured 

via a grant from a Darfield 

trust for community-based 

organisations.

In Brief 

REZONING AT DARFIELD 

A rezoning request for 

61ha at Darfield has been 

granted, paving the way for 

450 homes and a retirement 

village. The district council 

accepted the recommendation 

of an independent hearing 

commissioner to allow Plan 

Change 63 at its meeting last 

week. At the same meeting, 

the district council gave the 

green light for rezoning 27ha 

at Rolleston for industrial 

purposes. This was Plan 

Change 66, for rezoning an 

area to the east of the iPort 

inland port. PC66 was supported 

by KiwiRail and the Lyttelton 

Port Company. 

VACCINATIONS HIGH 

Selwyn has the highest number 

of single-jabbed residents in 

the South Island. As of Sunday, 

99.07 per cent of residents 

in the district have received 

their first dose of the Covid-19 

vaccination, with 85.03 per cent 

double-jabbed. It follows Mayor 

Sam Broughton announcing 

at last week’s district council 

meeting that all district 

councillors were double-jabbed. 

He said he and his district 

councillors supported the 

push to see as many people in 

the district, and the country, 

vaccinated as possible.

“It shows the community that

Elder said. 

Boyes has made his recommendation

Canterbury’s youth engagement

joined Waterwise members to 

spend an afternoon planting at 

a Springston Te Ara Kākāriki

in the Selwyn Waihora Zone. 

More than 400 plants 

went in the ground in just a

Te Ara Kākārki first started 

planting at the Springston site in

there each spring for the first 

three years. 

Te Ara Kākārki spokesperson 

Letitia Lum said the project 

has been a rewarding experience. 

“It’s always a pleasure to come 

back each year to help with the 

planting project and to see the 

growth from previous years,” she 

said. 

“It was great to have the

Two pets killed in dog attacks 


TWO DARFIELD residents have 

been left traumatised after their 

pets were allegedly killed by two 

roaming dogs. 

They understand only one of 

the dogs has been euthanised 

by the district council’s animal 

control team, and they are calling 

for the other dog to also be 

euthanised. 

The two dogs, a mixed breed 

and a mastiff, are alleged to have 

escaped from their home on the 

morning of October 15. 

The Selwyn Times understands 

that as the owner was desperately 

trying to locate them, the dogs 

allegedly mauled to death a oneyear-old 

bengal cat named Willow 

outside her house about 9am. 

The dogs then made their way 

to the outskirts of town and 

allegedly mauled to death an 

18-month-old mastiff labrador 

cross inside a fenced section 

about noon. 

The owners of the dead cat are 

Darfield couple Mark and Lynne, 

who only wanted to be known 

by their first names. Mark said 

it was horrific to witness Willow 

being killed, and she was very 

much missed. 

“The house is so quiet without 

her,” he said. 

Willow had been a faithful 

companion while he was off 

work for nine months recovering

from cancer treatment. 

“She was always inside with 

me, always on the couch with 

me,” Mark said. 

Willow was attacked by 

the two dogs at the end of the 

neighbour’s driveway, where she 

would often sit. 

Mark was working in his 

back yard when he heard his cat 

“screaming.” He ran to the scene 

and was shocked to find two 

dogs had Willow, one with her 

head in his mouth and the other 

with her tail end in his mouth. 

“To me it looked like they were 

trying to pull her apart,” he said. 

He jumped over his fence and 

chased the dogs which ran away 

with Willow in the clutch of their 

jaws. He followed them through 

the end of a cul-de-sac for about 

300m, yelling at a neighbour on 

the way: “They have my cat.” The 

neighbour helped with the chase 

and ultimately was able to get the 

dogs to drop Willow by squirting 

them with a fire extinguisher. 

By that time Willow was dead 

and had been in the jaws of the 

dogs for about 25 minutes. Mark 

believed she died quickly after 

the dogs got hold of her. 

An animal control officer 

spoke to Mark outside his home 

about 11am. The dogs had still 

not been located. 

The owner of the mastiff 

labrador cross that was killed 

said she got a phone call from 

a neighbour who was looking 

after her pets to say there were 

two stray dogs there. She got 

home at about noon to find them 

roaming the large section with 

blood on their muzzles, and her 

own dog mauled and dead. She 

did not know how they got into 

the large section as it was fully 

contained. 

Animal control later informed 

her one of the dogs had been 

euthanised. Mark and Lynne and 

the woman want the other dog 

put down as well. The woman 

understands it was the mixed 

breed dog that has been euthanised, 

while the mastiff was 

returned to its owner. 

“Both dogs did this. It’s on 

our conscience, what happens 

if it gets into another person’s 

animal, both had a part in it,”

breed dog got into

the woman said. Animal control 

team leader Steve Clarke was 

unable to confirm if one dog had 

been euthanised and the other 

returned to the owner. This was 

because it was an ongoing legal 

process. It was being worked 

through with a lawyer as a matter 

of urgency. 

“As this is an open case it 

would not be appropriate for 

us to comment further at this 

stage,” Clarke said. 

However, on Friday he sent an 

email to Lynne, viewed by the 

Selwyn Times, saying one of the 

dogs had been returned to the 

owner. “This was following it being 

classified as a dangerous dog. 

The owners were taking extraordinary 

measures to ensure all 

conditions of this classification 

were met, including extensive 

modification of the property,” 

Clarke said. 

“This action does not give 

them immunity to prosecution, 

which we are still awaiting advice 

from the council’s lawyers.”

Emergency response organisations gear 

IMAGE: GNS SCIENCE 


EMERGENCY personnel from 

throughout the district have 

networked on their plans for 

responding to an Alpine Fault 

earthquake. 

More than 30 personnel from 

Fire and Emergency New Zealand, 

St John, the police, SICON, Civil 

Defence and volunteers from Selwyn 

Emergency Response recently met 

to share expertise and knowledge on 

their equipment and skills. 

The event was organised by 

the district council’s emergency 

management team. It was one of a 

series of such events and training 

sessions, in the wake of research 

released in April showing a 75 per 

cent chance of a rupture on the 

Alpine Fault within the next 50 

years. 

Previously the chance was 

believed to be 30 per cent. 

There is an 82 per cent chance the 

earthquake will be magnitude 8 or 

higher. 

The area of the fault that the 

research relates to is the southern 

and central segments, which stretch 

from Milford Sound to Hokitika, 

therefore bordering Selwyn district. 

University of Canterbury disaster 

management and earthquake 

specialist Dr Tom Robinson told 

participants the rupture would have 

wide-ranging effects for the whole of 

the South Island. 

“It would impact on almost every 

facet of life, in particular the ability 

to reach areas cut off by large slip 

events across most state highways 

linking the east and west,” Robinson 

said. 

This included Selwyn’s State 

Highway 73. 

After the meeting, he said the high 

level of planning being undertaken 

by emergency personnel was 

something which would continue 

for years to come. 

“The urgency of it has become 

quite clear, but what we need to 

do and how we need to do it hasn’t 

really changed,” Robinson said. 

He said shaking on the plains 

in Selwyn was expected to last 

one to two minutes. It would not 

be high intensity shaking such as 

that in the Christchurch February 

22, 2011, earthquake. Rather, it 

could feel similar to the shaking 

level felt on the plains during the 

September 4, 2010, earthquake. 

Damage to buildings would mostly 

be superficial, with no widespread 

building collapse. 

On the plains, older water piping 

could be damaged, and power could 

be lost for anything from a couple of 

hours to three days. 

The greatest effect in the district 

would be in the foothills and main 

divide with rupturing of pipelines, 

roads and landslides isolating 

communities.

sure our plans are up to date 

and our relationships are 

strong among the agencies 

who will be responding to 

the earthquake,” Lawn said. 

Mayor Sam Broughton reminded 

residents to be prepared. 

“Knowing your neighbours and 

having a strong community are a 

huge part of getting through any 

type of emergency,” Broughton 

said. 

He advised any residents who 

had not received a copy of the 

booklet Are You Ready? A guide 

to emergency preparedness in 

Selwyn to pick one up free from 

one of the Selwyn libraries or 

district council headquarters in 

Rolleston. 

Additionally, they could sign 

up to the district council’s 

Selwyn Gets Ready free 

emergency alerting system. 

It sends text and email 

alerts to subscribed 

households in the event 

of an emergency. It is 

also used to identify 

those who might need extra 

assistance and those who have 

skills and resources to help their 

neighbours. 

People can sign up at Selwyn.

Selwyn Health Hub’s 

maternity suite named 


SELWYN HEALTH Hub’s new 

state-of-the-art maternity suite 

has a heavenly new name. 

Oromairaki means resonating 

sounds of the heavens. The 

facility is set to replace 

Lincoln Maternity Hospital 

when it opens early 

next year. 

The name has been 

gifted by Selwyn iwi, Te 

Taumutu Rūnanga. 

A Te Taumutu Rūnanga 

spokesperson said the 

name represented the sounds 

of wonder, welcome, pain and 

sorrow. 

“They are the sounds of the 

heavens. Sounds which carry the 

resonance of joy and sadness. 

Sounds announcing life and 

death. They are earthly sounds, 

they are the sounds of the 

heavens receiving and echoing. 

They are sounds of ritual and 

blessing.” 

Canterbury District Health 

Board executive director of 

Māori and Pacific health Hector 

Matthews said the name had 

been gifted in recognition of the 

atua wahine Hine-te-iwaiwa and 

her role as the goddess of the 

weaving house and childbirth. 

“Canterbury DHB greatly 

appreciates the wonderful koha 


Hector 

Matthews 

that is Oromairaki,” Matthews 

said. 

With the $14.7 million health 

hub just a few months away from 

completion, the board requested 

Manawhenua Ki Waitaha 

Charitable Trust provide 

a name. The trust turned 

to Te Taumutu Rūnanga, 

which carefully considered 

how the name would 

fit into local history, the 

function and location of 

the facility. 

Oromairaki will be 

50 per cent larger in size than 

Lincoln Maternity Hospital. It 

will be located on the first floor 

of the health hub, and have two 

birthing rooms, 10 post-natal 

beds, two assessment rooms, 

a whānau room and reception 

with play area for children. 

Meanwhile, submissions 

closed on Friday for the CDHB’s 

consultation on its proposal to 

dispose of the Lincoln Maternity 

Hospital site. The CDHB 

is required by the New Zealand 

Public Health and Disability Act 

to consider any public views on 

the disposal. 

The 5401 m sq property contains 

the original 1926 maternity 

building, a 2011 dental building 

and the Lincoln Community 

Garden.

THE OVERGROWN 

showpiece in Lincoln’s 

main street has finally had 

a tidy up. 

The Selwyn Times reported 

last week a nearby 

business owner was having 

to take matters into his 

own hands and mow the 

grass around the Llew 

Summers sculpture in 

Gerald St himself. 

He said the showpiece 

had become an eyesore 

because the district council 

and its contractors were 

not cutting the heavilyweeded 

grassed area 

frequently enough. 

The business owner, who 

declined to be identified, 

said it was “disappointing” 

a lot of effort had gone into 

creating the space for displaying 

art only to have the 

area become overgrown. 

“It’s all weeds, you 

couldn’t really describe it

as a lawn, they would have 

been better to throw some

The business owner 

said he had mowed the 

area himself at times due 

to the lack of maintenance. 

The space that the 

sculpture occupies is part 

of an area the district 

council purchased to 

enhance the main street.

Ultramarathon goal after learning to walk again 

MILEAGE RATE: Aaron Williamson is in preparation mode 

for the Tarawera Ultramarathon, his second endurance test 

since he learned to walk again. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

• By Chris Barclay 

A BURNHAM-BASED soldier 

wounded by friendly fire during 

a New Zealand army cycling race 

is targeting another endurance 

test, after learning to walk again 

before he could run. 

Major Aaron Williamson is 

preparing for next year’s 100- 

mile Tarawera Ultramarathon, 

an admirable goal considering 

what happened to him on the 

GrapeRide through Marlborough 

in April, 2016 after he collided 

with another rider. 

“I’ve been told I slid across the 

road head-first into a bank and 

ended up on my back with my 

torso in a ditch and pelvis and 

legs facing back down the road,” 

he said. 

“My pelvic area was run over 

several times while I was lying on 

the road.” 

Williamson doesn’t remember 

the accident, just waking up in 

Blenheim’s Wairau Hospital’s 

emergency department. 

“The doctor explained I’d been 

knocked off my bike and run 

over. They were examining me 

and I couldn’t feel anything in a 

lot of instances aside from parts 

of my torso and face,” he said. 

‘Learning to walk again as 

an adult is a strange thing 

and on top of that, I had 

gone from fit and healthy 

to broken and using a 

walking frame.’ 

– Aaron Williamson 

Williamson needed two years 

to get back on his feet, the shock 

and stress gradually subsided 

after fearing he had suffered 

permanent damage and may not 

walk again. 

“Learning to walk again as an 

adult is a strange thing and on 

top of that, I had gone from fit 

and healthy to broken and using 

a walking frame,” he said. 

Williamson endured several 

surgeries, a steady stream of 

pain medication and struggled 

mentally and physically to such 

an extent he resigned from the 

army. 

“I tended to blame others when 

in fact it was me being defeatist 

and not taking ownership of my 

ROAD TO RECOVERY: Aaron Williamson recuperates in 

Blenheim’s Wairau Hospital after a cycling crash. 

situation, that was the real issue,” 

he said. 

“I sat at home for a year not doing 

much, lacking the motivation 

and drive to do anything.” 

On a positive note Williamson 

met his future wife, Charlene 

while in hospital – coincidentally 

the army public affairs officer’s 

father had a spill in the same race 

and needed a hip replacement. 

“Him and I ended up in the 

same room and things progressed 

from there,” Williamson 

said. 

Once the couple had their first 

child, Hunter, Williamson had a 

healthier outlook on life, which 

inspired him to rejoin the defence 

force. Fitness permitting. 

The GODZone adventure race 

with three serving soldiers in 

2019 was the mountain he had 

to climb – a 600km mission 

through Canterbury over seven 

days that featured running, 

kayaking, rafting and mountain 

biking. 

“I arrived at the start line feeling 

very sick and nervous, but at 

the same time I had already won 

at that point just by making it to 

the start line. Perspective is everything,” 

said Williamson, who 

was soon back in uniform with 

the Royal New Zealand Army 

Logistics Regiment. 

Williamson tackles his latest 

test of stamina around Rotorua 

in February, the 14th edition of 

an event which winds its way 

through – and past – volcanic 

trails, waterfalls and seven lakes. 

“I don’t know if I can go the 

distance or meet my own expectations, 

but my reason for entering 

the ‘Miler’ is simple, I need to 

answer the questions I have and 

not make excuses as I had done 

previously,” Williamson said, 

who now avoids road cycling. 

“I had difficulty sitting on the 

seat, I had to sit on an angle because 

I’d done so much damage 

to my pelvis and sacrum. 

“I’m still not as mobile as I was, 

I can’t run as much as I used to.” 

Still, he pounds the pavements 

around Lincoln on a regular 

basis. 

“I’ve completed various distances 

up to 50km. I put in my 

qualifiying distance in (for the 

ultramarathon) the other day. 

“I’ve got a 50km ultra (this 

weekend) on the Port Hills – the 

Krayzie Kapers Ultra. After after 

that I’ll be working up to 80ks 

and get into it in February.”

THREE RESIDENTS with 

multiple sclerosis in Rolleston 

are running a joint fundraising 

campaign so they can each buy 

a state-of-the-art Omeo mobility 

chair. 

The Omeo is a $37,350 hybrid 

motorised wheelchair and 

exercise machine. Its compact 

shape and all-terrain capability 

facilitates access in built and 

natural environments. It can be 

operated by the user’s core muscles, 

providing the experience 

of balanced-based hands-free 

movement. 

Linda Klok, Karen Scott, and 

Nikki Mcpherson said the Omeo 

would transform their lives. 

Klok, a business consultant, 

was diagnosed with MS five 

years ago. 

Recently she was able to trial 

an Omeo. It enabled her to play a 

fun game of chasing her 13-yearold 

daughter Tzofia on an indoor 

sports court. She said it was a 

“wonderful” experience, considering 

she had not been able to 

run for the past 10 years. 

“It was a dream that I did not 

think would ever happen,” Klok 

said. 

She said the Omeo would play 

a vital role to improve the spiritual 

and mental health of people 

with MS. 

“It will give us the option of 

visiting the local café independently, 

attending sports events 

to watch our children on the 

field, joining our families on the 

beach, or taking a ‘walk’ with 

friends in the forest,” Klok said. 

It would also helped strengthen 

core muscles and address the 

debilitating symptom of fatigue. 

“Disabled people want to live 

as full a life as possible at home 

and especially in the wider 

environment. Having a mobility 

platform that supports those 

objectives means that we can 

meet the needs of our families 

while playing effective roles in 

our communities.” 


Unfortunately, the efforts of 

the Rolleston people with MS to 

get Government assistance for 

buying Omeos had been hindered 

by lengthy assessment and 

funding approval processes. Assessment 

itself could be a “tricky 

process” with the progression of 

MS being variable day to day, she 

said. 

The trio are now following in 

the footsteps of fellow MS sufferer 

in Nelson, Lisa Wheeler, 

who ran a Givealittle campaign 

after Enable New Zealand, which 

contracted to the Ministry of 

Health, suggested part-funding 

for an Omeo might be possible. 

Wheeler told the Selwyn Times 

she had fought the issue for four 

months. 

“In the end, we had raised 

enough money to purchase it 

ourselves, and I didn’t want 

them to own it,” Wheeler said. 

Klok said she and Scott 

and Mcpherson had initially 

launched their Omeo for MS 

campaign in collaboration with 

one other Rolleston resident with 

MS, John Sloan. 

However, Sloan had been lucky 

enough to recently have a family 

member buy an Omeo for him. 

The campaign had subsequently 

dropped its target from $200,000 

to $150,000, which would be 

enough to buy each of the 

remaining trio an Omeo, and 

pay for accompanying vehicle

Sloan told the Selwyn Times on

Trust’s partner gives 

Hororata events a boost 

HORORATA DAIRY farming 

business Grasslands has joined 

the Hororata Community Trust 

as a strategic partner for the next 

three years. 

Chief executive Simon Le 

Heron said the business was built 

from hard work and determination. 

It took pride in everything 

it did, and as such its culture and 

values aligned with the trust. 

“We want Hororata to be 

a great place to live, we want 

our schools and sports clubs to 

thrive. By partnering with the 

trust, we know we will make a 

difference,” Le Heron said. 

Holding great events, including 

the Hororata Night Glow and 

Hororata Highland Games, was 

just part of what it did, he said. 

Grasslands also appreciated its 

work in supporting community 

groups and the well-being of the 

community. 

Trust executive officer Cindy 

Driscoll said the partnership 

involved a “considerable financial 

donation” for the next 

three years, as well as practical 

support. 

The trust had a wide network 

of partners. Developing the partnerships 

brought many benefits 

to the area. 

“Our partnerships are dynamic; 

their investment allows 

the trust to support the community 

but also our partners 

offer skills and resources which 

build capacity in this rural area. 

They invest in our community 


SUPPORT: Grasslands chief executive Simon Le Heron 

says partnering with the Hororata Community Trust will 

make a difference. 

in every way, they share in our 

successes,” Driscoll said. 

Grasslands was a big part of 

the community, employing 45 

people, many of whom moved to 

the area with their families. 

A Selwyn Times reader expresses opinion on the 

Government’s Three Waters reforms 

THE ARROGANCE of the 

Ardern Government continues 

to come to the fore with their 

mandating of the water reforms 

despite 90 per cent of councils 

submitting against them on 

behalf of the rightful owners, the 

ratepayers. 

Local government NZ is 

lamenting the decision even 

though they entered into a nowin 

heads of agreement with the 

Government. 

How stupid they must feel and 

hopefully will give cause for our 

council to consider the value of 

that relationship. 

Local Government Minister 

Nanaia Mahuta clearly thinks 

our council along with others 

councils are not competent to 

run the assets. 

That does tend to make one 

We want to hear your views 

on the issues affecting life 

in the Selwyn district 

speculate when roads will go 

and forced amalgamation with 

Christchurch will be on the

THis Government is hungry 

for and determined to control 

everything from Wellington 

and the spurious arguments 

put forward by the minister in 

support of the reforms indicate 

accuracy and facts won’t get in 

the way of their political agenda. 

Democracy takes one more 

step to the abyss if these reforms 

survive. 

No matter what the minister 

claims, we will no longer own 

the assets, we will no longer have

New traffic lights confirmed 

for main intersection 

Traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Tennyson Street and Rolleston Drive in 

Rolleston in the coming months to replace the existing roundabout. 

The Council has awarded a contract to Isaac Construction to upgrade the intersection including 

installing traffic signals to improve traffic flow and safety in the area. 

During the early stages of construction, the intersection will need to be closed at times to allow 

the installation of services and pavement construction at the intersection. The exact dates and 

timeframes for this work will be confirmed closer to the time. 

A new lane layout with right hand turning traffic lanes and cycle lanes will be part of the 

upgrade. Wider shared cycle and pedestrian paths will be installed, linking to the pathways 

recently installed to the north on Tennyson Street, along with signal crossings for bicycles and 

for pedestrians. 

Rolleston Drive, west of Tennyson Street as far as the Rolleston Community Centre will be 

upgraded to improve access to the future Rolleston Town Centre and continue the lower speed 

environment in this area. New planted media islands and paved footpaths will be installed 

that will also improve pedestrian safety for those crossing from the adjoining Ambrose Estates 

reservers and walkways to the south. 

The intersection will be a raised table intersection, lifted to the level of the kerb with the 

approaches rising gently as a traffic calming device to improve safety. 

Council Transportation Asset Manager Andrew Mazey says the upgrade is an important step in 

ongoing upgrades to cater for traffic growth. 

“It’s great to get underway with this key roading project for Rolleston. We’ve planning this for a 

while and it will join a series of important intersection upgrades that have occurred to improve 

traffic flow and safety for all road users while also supporting the new town centre access into 

the future." 

Community History Fund established 

The Council has agreed to set up an interim fund to protect the district’s history while a strategic 

heritage plan is developed. 

Under the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031 the Council agreed to work with mana whenua and heritage 

groups to develop a strategic heritage plan. 

Funding from the interim Selwyn Community History Fund is intended to support kaitiaki (guardians, 

conservators, and protectors), communities and community groups and their heritage activities while 

the plan is being developed. 

It will support protecting, promoting and celebrating Selwyn’s history and making it more accessible for 

residents and visitors. 

The Council also agreed to establish the Selwyn Community History Committee to oversee the 

development of the heritage plan. 

Council Group Manager Community Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says it is the start of a process 

to make real change in the way heritage is supported in Selwyn. 

“We have many hard working, passionate groups in the Selwyn community who are dedicated to 

preserving our heritage and what has made us who we are as a community today. The Council has 

supported these groups individually over the years through various funds, but this partnership process 

will bring these groups together with a vision to preserve our past together.” 

Long-service to Selwyn farewelled 

The Council said goodbye to almost four decades of experience when one of its longest serving staff 

members was farewelled last week. 

The Selwyn District did not even exist when Mark Chamberlain began on a cadetship in the 

infrastructure team with the former Ellesmere County Council in May 1983, based in Leeston. 

He worked in water and roading, before moving full-time to the roading team, becoming the Council’s 

Transportation Asset Delivery Manager. Mr Chamberlain is leaving to take up a similar role at Ashburton 

District Council closer to family. 

After 38 years he said he was leaving with fond memories of working in and for the district he grew up in. 

"I'm always proud to say I work for the Council because I work for the community." 

Council Infrastructure Group Manager Murray Washington said Ashburton was gaining a dependable, 

loyal, and extremely hardworking staff member. 

“You have lead a team that has continued to deliver amidst significant growth,” he said. 

His care for his staff, knowledge and dedication to doing the best for Selwyn would be missed, Mr 

Washington said. 

Faces of Selwyn – a sense of 

belonging in Selwyn 

Catching a two-hour subway to work in Beijing and visiting his four 

year-old daughter at his parents' home on weekends, wasn’t the 

lifestyle Jian Liu and his wife wanted. 

“Every day we spent lots of time on the commute and then one day 

we said, ‘This is not the life we want to experience," says Jian. 

Together the couple started looking for a new country to call home. 

“We did a little bit of research and because we studied agriculture, 

three countries came in at the top.” 

Canada was too cold and Australia seemed to have less of a focus 

on agriculture study, which lead them to choosing New Zealand, 

moving to Lincoln in November 2013. 

Moving to New Zealand was a big culture shock, he says. 

“I couldn’t speak a whole English sentence when I came to New 

Zealand, so I had to go through a three month English course.” 

After completing his postgraduate diploma in agriculture science, Jian 

accepted a position with Plant and Food Research in Hawke’s Bay. 

He didn’t really feel like he belonged in Hawke’s Bay and missed 

Lincoln, he says. 

Jian talked to his manager who gave him an opportunity to work at 

Plant and Food Research in Lincoln. 

After visiting his parents in China, Jian realised Lincoln felt more like 

home than his birth country. 

“When I got off the plane I just felt a little bit overwhelmed. ‘Oh, this 

is so crowded compared to New Zealand’. Then I felt everything is 

a bit rushed, because I’m used to this slower lifestyle. When I came 

back to New Zealand I felt a sense of home. It really made me think, 

‘Oh which is my real home?’ So I had a bit of struggle during that 

time, but I think I choose Selwyn as my home town now.”

episodes from the latest series of Faces of Selwyn, visit

Awesome opportunity to give back 

An opportunity to make a difference for the lives of young people in 

Selwyn is open. 

Applications for the 2021/22 Selwyn Youth Council are open now 

and young people between 14 and 24 years of age who live in 

Selwyn are encouraged to apply. 

The Youth Council is made up of 12 young people who are passionate 

about making a positive difference for young people in Selwyn. 

This year it has supported and run a host of events including a BOOST 

Hip Hop workshop as well as supporting Mental Health Awareness 

week online and by organising purple shirt day events, hosted the 

‘What do YOUth think’ survey to gather young people’s views on the 

district and took part in the monthly citizenship ceremony. 

Youth Councillor Reece Mutonhori says he was encouraged by a 

friend to apply and he was really glad he did. 

“It is an awesome opportunity to get involved with the community 

and give back.” 

Born in Zimbabwe, he particularly enjoyed the opportunity to meet 

people from the many different cultures of Selwyn residents. 

“I was privileged enough to be a part of citizenship ceremonies, 

in which gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in different 

cultures and learn heaps of new things. It was also special 

connecting with these new citizens as I was in a similar position not 

too long ago.” 

Applications can be made by visiting selwyn.govt.nz/youthcouncil 

and applications are open until Sunday 14 November.

Mayor Sam Broughton will cycle 180 km across Selwyn from Arthur's Pass to Taumutu this week in 

support of the ‘Movember’ Men’s Health awareness month. 

He is joining forces with a team of Council Staff who have set up a charity page hoping to beat the 

$1,891 they raised last year. 

“Sometimes life just gets on top of you and men are not always great at 

reaching out, having a friend or colleague simply ask ‘are you okay bro’ 

can spark a conversation that literally saves a life,” said Mayor Sam. 

The team are keen to raise awareness about all aspects of men’s health 

with a focus on suicide prevention, mental wellbeing, testicular cancer and 

prostate cancer. 

“Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, 

but catch it early and the prognosis is good, I hope our team helps alerts 

men to the signs to watch out for.” 

Mayor Sam will follow a route through some of Selwyn’s tough back 

country over three days. 

“I couldn’t do this without the support from the remarkable team at the 

Action Bicycle Club who have loaned us two awesome bikes for the ride”.

ZAC FOULKES crafted his first 

substantial score of the season, 

a rapid century highlighting a 

dominant Darfield innings as 

the Canterbury Country premier 

one-day competition leaders 

hammered Lincoln. 

Opener Foulkes had managed 

only 44 runs in four knocks 

before plundering 124 from 103 

deliveries as Darfield amassed 

378/5 from their 45 overs during 

sixth round action on Saturday. 

Foulkes, who cracked 18 

boundaries and two sixes, shared 

in a 150-run opening stand with 

Nick Gilbert (62 off 61). 

Jesse Frew and Ryan Hughes 

ensured there was no respite for 

a threadbare Lincoln attack as 

they slammed 79 from 52 and 64 

off 37 respectively on Darfield 

Domain. 

Lincoln, predictably, never 

threatened to mount a viable 

chase and were dismissed for 174 

in the 30th over to hand Darfield 

victory by 204 runs. 

Openers Tom Cross (53) and 

Taylor Holland (46) offered 

some resistance, while only two 

other batsmen reached double 

figures. 

Leeston-Southbridge also 

produced a commanding 

performance with the bat to 

chase down Weedons 204/7 with 

six wickets and almost five overs 

to spare. 

An unbeaten 88 from 92 balls 

from Tim Gruijters and 49 from 

Sam Chamberlain combined to 

post 98 for the third wicket after 

the visitors were reduced to 35/2 

at Weedons Domain. 

Earlier, Charlie Robson’s 

belligerent unbeaten 76 ,51- 

ball knock studded by nine 

boundaries and a pair of sixes – 

enabled Weedons to exceed 200 

against a disciplined attack. 

Ohoka required a tight 

collective bowling effort to 

prevent Sefton overhauling 

their 241/9, with six of the seven 

bowlers claiming wickets as the 

visitors were restricted to 217/6 

to lose by 24 runs. 

Matt Laffey and Micah 


Rapid century helps Darfield hammer Lincoln 

Campbell both registered 

half-centuries, though not at 

a rate that allowed Sefton to 

successfully manage the chase. 

An unbeaten 46-run 

partnership for the ninth wicket 

allowed Oxford-Rangiora to 

complete the narrowest win of 

the weekend as Sam Fleming 

and Nathan Cook held their 

nerve to eclipse Southbrook’s 

177/7. 

Fleming (17 from 42) and 

Cook (21 from 44) had plenty 

over overs in hand but wicket 

preservation down the stretch 

was key to negate Iuan Blom’s 

superb 5/32 from nine overs. 

Blom also top-scored for

ZOE MCMEEKEN finished up 

at Lincoln High School before 

her final exams, but the learning 

experience is far from over for 

the youngest member of the 

Wellington Phoenix’s inaugural 

squad. 

The 17-year-old defender arrived 

in the A-League Women 

newcomer’s base in Wollongong, 

south of Sydney, last week and 

the whiteboard will be given 

a decent workout before the 

Phoenix debut against Western 

Sydney on December 3. 

Tactically, leaving year 13 prematurely 

was a calculated risk, 

and one McMeekan was willing 

to take after setting her sights on 

life as a professional footballer. 

“I only did my mocks and I’m 

not sure if they can be used yet, 

hopefully they can,” she said, as 

her former classmates study for 

external exams which start on 

November 22 and run to mid- 

December. 

Had the Phoenix been based 

in Wellington, McMeekan could 

have found a classroom in the 

capital. There is no scope to 

sit physics, chemistry, biology, 

statistics and English exams 

remotely in Australia. 

“The annoying thing is I 

mainly did external subjects but 

it wasn’t a hard decision,” said 

McMeekan, who has represented 

Canterbury at age-group level. 


TEAM SPIRIT: Zoe McMeekan (left) with Wellington Phoenix 

teammates Saskia Vosper (centre) and Chloe Knott during 

training in Wollongong. 

A dedicated player since the 

age of five, McMeekan realised 

early last month she was earmarked 

for the squad when she 

had a Zoom call with head coach 

Gemma Lewis, who knew the 

former Selwyn United player 

from national age-group teams. 

“I knew I was on the radar but 

I was still shocked and grateful 

to get in the team, especially being 

so young,” she said. 

McMeekan developed through 

the Selwyn United system, 

playing alongside the boys in 

15th grade before switching to 

Mainland Football’s dominant 

female force Coastal Spirit two 

seasons ago. 

Goal scoring has never been 

a focus for McMeekan, who has 

specialised in the fullback role 

for a decade, a defender who 

loves to make ground down the 

flank. 

“I enjoy fullback because they 

don’t always expect you to go 

forward, but I’m always trying to 

run in behind,” said McMeekan, 

whose primary responsibility is 

to ensure fellow Lincoln product, 

goalkeeper Lily Alfeld, is not 

kept busy between the posts. 

Although it is early days, Mc- 

Meekan, who nominates Liverpool 

right-back Trent Alexander- 

Arnold as her favourite player, is 

thriving in her first professional 

environment. 

“I never expected it to happen 

so fast. It’s been so great to fully 

concentrate on football, I enjoy 

always being surrounded by 

football people. It’s going to suck 

when I have to start studying 

again.” 

McMeekan intends to study 

online, possibly a Bachelor of 

Science degree through Massey 

University, though for now she is 

swotting up on attacking threats 

like fellow Kiwi, Sydney FC 

forward Paige Satchell. 

Selwyn United director of 

football Chris Brown was confident 

McMeeken would be up to 

the assignment.

School exams give way to professional football 

TOUGH: Wellington 

Phoenix youngster Zoe 

McMeekan has already 

represented Canterbury at 

age group level. 

“She’s been involved with the 

club on and off for quite a few 

years. She’s put in a lot of work 

to get where she’s got. It’s great to 

see she’s been given a chance by 

the Phoenix,” he said. 

“It’s going to be a huge step 

up for her but it’s exciting. There 

will be a lot of development going 

on day-by-day I imagine. 

“It’ll be tough for them but 

they’ve got to try and enjoy it 

and see it as a long-term project.”

About 350 competitors at the Frontrunner Selwyn Running 

Festival at Leeston on Sunday enjoyed a spectacular day. 

THe Selwyn Sports Trust was able to go ahead with the event 

after meeting Covid-19 alert level 2 guidelines. 

Spokeswoman Anna Sheen thanked volunteers. She said it was 

great to be able to host the festival in a safe environment. 

“THe festival is one of few running events in the country able 

to be held at the moment, so competitive runners enjoyed the 

opportunity of being able to compete,” Sheen said.

GARDENING 


No salad is complete 

without lettuce 

FRESH: Companion plant lettuce so that your summer 

salads will have variety. 

IF STEWS, PIES and soups 

make you think of winter. Then 

surely salads are a symbol of 

summer. And while there are 

plenty of vegetables such as 

carrots, beans and beetroot that 

make great salads, lettuce is a 

favourite salad ingredient. 

Cos lettuce makes a great 

caesar salad. Great lakes or 

iceberg work well combined 

with cucumber and tomato in 

a classic lettuce dish. Mesclun, 

pear and parmesan create a tasty 

blend. 

For those who like to have a 

range of difference lettuces on 

hand, try growing red lettuce, 

buttercrunch, great lakes and 

cos. Otherwise simply select 

from the other types of lettuce 

(including chinese). 

Once you’ve got your 

lettuce plants look for a welldrained 

and sheltered spot in 

the garden to grow them. Don’t 

have much space? Lettuces 

grow great in pots and can be 

placed in a spot easily accessible 

to your kitchen. 

Next simply dig a little hole 

and plant each seedling around 

20cm apart. Try not to overcrowd 

your seedlings to prevent 

fungal diseases. And watch out 

for slugs. 

Depending on the weather 

where you live your lettuces 

should be ready to harvest in 

around four to eight weeks. 

Remember, you can simply pick 

the leaves off as you need them. 

Got kids? This is a great job 

for them to be in charge of at 

dinnertime. And, they get to pick 

the type of lettuce they like best. 

Just remember lettuces like 

water. Simply put your finger in 

the ground up to around the first 

knuckle and if it feels dry you 

need to add some water. 

TALL: Salvia can grow to a height of 3m. 

Brighten up your 

backyard with salvia 

IF YOU WANT to showcase your 

garden try salvia plants. 

Salvia can’t be narrowed down 

to just one set of traits or characteristics. 

The salvia genus 

includes more than 900 species. It 

has annuals, biennials, perennials 

and shrubs. 

There are dwarf varieties, bedding 

ones, some that grow up 

to 3m tall and wide and did you 

know that sage is in fact a form of 

salvia? 

Most of our salvia plants flower 

from summer through to autumn 

and are good for bedding and 

the back of borders. Because of 

the upright manner which salvia 

patens electric blue’s branches 

grow, it can look incredibly striking 

grown in a pot over summer. 

In fact, that’s probably the one 

consistent with salvia – it tends to 

look very striking wherever you 

grow it. 

Generally salvia likes rich, welldrained 

soil in full sun to light 

shade. 

If you’re growing a dwarf 

variety simply plant 15cm apart 

and if it’s taller salvia try planting 

30-50cm apart. 

Then in about eight to 10 

weeks you can expect to see some 

striking salvia colour start to 

show in your garden.

GARDENING 25 

Prepare now for a rise in temperatures 

AS TEMPERATURES rise 

and garden plants are bursting 

with new growth, the feeling 

that summer is just around the 

corner provides great relief. 

It is a busy and very rewarding 

time in the garden. 

Houseplants 

With houseplants in active 

growth, it’s time to apply fertiliser. 

Older houseplants, or those 

that have outgrown their pots 

may require repotting – consider 

the size of the new pot to allow 

for future root growth. Always 

use fresh potting mix specifically 

developed for indoor plants to 

provide perfect drainage and 

nutrients. 

Flowering houseplants like 

kalanchoes and chrysanthemums 

are now an available and 

brighten up the home. 

Vege patch 

The summer vegetables 

planted last month will be 

rapidly growing. Continue with 

plantings of beans, beetroot, 

cabbage, celery, corn, cucumber, 

courgettes, lettuce, peas, 

pumpkin, radish, spring onions, 

spinach, tomatoes, silver beet 

and zucchini. Consider planting 

Asian greens, like bok choy 

which mature quickly and are 

very tasty. Inspect your vegetable 

plants regularly for signs of pests 

and diseases, especially slugs and 

snails that are already very active. 

Water plants when required 

to ensure steady, strong growth 

and apply a thick layer of mulch 

to improve water retention and 

reduce weeds. 

Summer flowering 

annuals 

By mid-November, many varieties 

will already be in flower. 

Continue plantings of flowering 

summer annuals throughout 

the month, alyssum, ageratum, 

arctotis (african daisy), aster, 

cornflower, cosmos, marigold, 

nemesia, phlox, portulacas, 

petunias, salvias, and zinnias. 

Water when required, but don’t 

overwater as summer annuals 

have adapted to drier conditions. 

Strawberry patch 

A rewarding month for those 

with a strawberry patch. Time 

to harvest fresh, ripe, juicy 

berries from your own garden – 

yum. 

Place pea straw or bark 

mulch around the plants to create 

a ‘clean bed’ for the strawberries. 

Continue light watering 

when required, but don’t 

overwater. 

Fruit trees 

All fruit trees are now in active 

growth so apply a second side 

dressing of fruit tree fertiliser. 

Mulching around fruit trees 

is highly beneficial, as it helps 

reduce water loss and suppress 

weeds. Continue harvesting 

seminole tangelos. 

NEAT: Harvest 

your herbs 

regularly to 

stimulate growth. 

Roses 

Roses are looking stunning 

this month. Bushes are in full 

flower, and they should have 

remained disease free. If you do 

notice signs of disease or pests 

– spray immediately. Remember 

once you commit to spraying, 

you must follow a regular regime 

throughout the season. Keep 

applying rose fertiliser every four 

to six weeks and water it in well. 

Hedges 

It’s a perfect time for the first 

trimming of hedges, now that 

the first ‘flush’ of growth has 

finished. To maintain a dense, 

bushy hedge, it is recommended 

that the ‘little and often’ approach 

is taken, rather than 

the twice yearly major ‘chop’. 

Hedges are often ignored apart 

from trimming, and by regular 

watering and fertilising, a very 

attractive, effective hedge can be 

achieved and maintained. 

Ornamental shrubs 

Fertilise all plants with general 

garden fertiliser. Start mulching 

now with crushed bark to 

improve water retention with the 

bonus of helping suppress weeds. 

Herb garden 

All herbs should be thriving, 

and basil can now safely be 

planted. Add extra specimens 

or frequently used herbs such as 

chives and parsley so you have 

plenty on hand. Harvest your 

herbs regularly to promote fresh 

new growth. 

Lawns 

Depending on the weather, 

November is regarded as the 

last ‘safe’ month for sowing a 

new lawn or patching an existing 

lawn. Based on the past two 

summers, it is simply too hot 

and dry to attempt sowing lawns 

after this. With existing lawns, 

this is the last month for applying 

lawn fertiliser – recommence 

again in March. 

Water thoroughly after 

fertilising the lawn. Irrigate 

lawns where water supply 

allows to help encourage strong, 

consistent grass growth. 

In the Garden 

with intelligro 

Another long weekend is upon us, and this 

one is typically when we Cantabrians can 

get our tomatoes out into the garden. Make 

the most of the extra time off and get those 

gardening tasks underway and preparation 

started for the lead up to Christmas Day! 

Check out our website and Facebook page 

for more gardening tips and inspiration. 

What ’s hot this month? 

Safety in the garden 

• We have a variety of seedlings 

available and ready to be 

planted out. 

• A great range of seeds ready to 

be raised – a great activity for 

kids and exciting to watch as 

they begin to grow. 

• Raised garden boxes available 

in a variety of styles, sizes and 

types. Check them out in store. 

• Great gift ideas for Christmas. 

Top Tips for this Month 

in the Garden 

As tomatoes require a lot of nutrition to grow, pop in 

some tomatoes fertiliser before planting and then feed 

every 4 weeks until the season ends. Trim laterals and 

cover from the birds. 

Keeping yourself safe in the 

garden is important, especially 

at this time of the year. 

Legionnaire’s Disease is one of 

the main risks in the garden, 

so protecting yourself is key. 

Below are some precautions 

you can take to reduce the risk 

of contracting Legionnaires: 

• Open bags with a sharp knife – away from the face - in open 

spaces, not in enclosed areas like sheds or greenhouses 

• Remember to use gloves and masks when handling the mix 

• Dampen any dry mix – taking care not to inhale dry, dusty mix 

• Store bags out of direct sunlight 

• Always wash your hands after gardening, and before eating 

or drinking 

If you develop any flu-like symptoms after working in the garden 

head to your Doctor immediately. Make sure you let them know 

you have been gardening and need to get tested for Legionnaires.

motor vehicle purchase 

See our ad on page 2 


Jolion will add to Haval’s success 

NOT SURPRISINGLY, I skim 

the monthly sales figures that are 

sent to the motor vehicle industry 

distributors and commentators. It’s 

easy to work out the shakers and 

movers as the year progresses. 

At present it’s a matter of which 

company has supply as to how they 

are faring in the marketplace. I can 

report that the brands from China 

are doing well, both Haval and 

MG have constant supply and, of 

course, with the way these brands 

are placed in terms of price they are 

favourable buys for those who are 

looking for a bargain, those who 

want to buy new and are comfortable 

knowing they get a lengthy 

warranty with their purchase. 

The latest product from China to 

come my way was Haval’s Jolion, 

a very pretty mid-size sport utility 

vehicle that can only go upwards 

in terms of sales, and where it 

peaks is anyone’s guess. You see, 

it is not only nicely built, but it is 

priced well for the budget-conscious 

buyer. The Jolion lists from 

$26,990, which by my reckoning 

is a bargain, it is traditional 

in the way it is powered, it has a 

1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that 

drives through to the front wheels 

through a seven-speed dual clutch 

automatic transmission. 

I mentioned that it is mid-size, 

yet it seems bigger than its 4.4m 

length would suggest. It’s massively 

comfortable on the inside 

and space is generous for the times 

when five occupants are taken onboard. 

The test car was the Lux model 

which sits at $27,990 but had been 

upspeced, it carried a blackout 

package that includes a window 

tint, black grill, side trim and 

badges, along with 19in black 

wheels. The price for those would 

add an extra $5k that takes it to the 

price of the Ultra model that sits at 

$32,990. 

So there are three Jolion models, 

each represents value that I’ve mentioned, 

and it’s a range that comes 

in six vivid colours, so the choice is 

very comprehensive. 

Even though the Lux model sits 

in the middle pricewise it comes 

with healthy specification. It gets 

full leather trim with heated front 

seats that are also electrically 

adjustable, there is keyless entry 

and ignition, a 360deg camera 

system, radar cruise control and 

paddle-shift gear selectors. Items 

it doesn’t get that surprised me are 

the lack of fuel usage indicator and 

reach-adjustable steering column; 

nevertheless, for everything else 

you get they can be forgiven. 

The in-cabin area is high-class, it 

is clean and aesthetically appealing. 

There is a high emphasis on digitalised 

graphics, the dash panel screen 

sweeps across the facia and another 

central screen has touch operation 

that control the minor functions. 

STYLISH: Haval’s Jolion comes in three levels of 

specification, each has a high level of fitment. 

HAVAL JOLION LUX: Optional black wheels help provide an aggressive stance. 

I particularly like the dial gear selector, 

it is intuitive and you quickly 

become one with the car. The trim 

materials are high grade and fit and 

finish are as good as I’ve seen on 

any car at this price. 

It’s also fair to say the Jolion 

travels quietly, the evaluation car 

was rattle-free and smooth through 

the air. 

Under the bonnet sits the 

turbocharged, 1497cc engine. It’s 

pretty much a carryover from the 

H2 that also sold well in the Kiwi 

market. Drive through the dual 

clutch gearbox is unimpeded, the 

engine is feisty when asked but also 

relaxed for the inner-city commute. 

In stop-start traffic it gently works 

through the transmission, and if 

you need a quick lane change the 

turbocharger will spool quickly 

and provide the impetus needed to 

make that manoeuvre. 

In terms of acceleration the Jolion 

will make 100km/h from a standstill 

in 10sec and will tackle a highway 

overtake (80-120km/h) in an easy 

7sec, the latter thanks to a broad 

spread of torque. The engine is rated 

with 220Nm available all of the 

way from 2000rpm to 4400rpm, if 

you add in 110kW of power at just 

5600rpm you have a free-revving 

engine that also works hard at the 

bottom end, and that is what you 

need, boost from low down is the 

most important ingredient with this 

type of engine design. 

• Price – Haval Jolion Lux, 

$27,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4472mm; width, 1841mm; 

height, 1574mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1497cc, 110kW, 

220Nm, seven-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.1/100km 

Just as importantly, the Jolion 

also has an economical fuel use 

claim. Haval rate it with an 8.1-litre 

per 100km combined cycle average. 

I delved deep into the display 

menus but I couldn’t find any 

fuel consumption readouts, so I 

was unable to collate any figures 

to quantify Haval’s figure. However, 

the engine is quite relaxed at 

100km/h, turning over freely at 

1900rpm. 

I took the Jolion west trough to 

the Waimakarikri Gorge bridge 

and back to my home in the suburbs 

through Hororata and Burnham. 

It is an adept highway cruiser 

that enhances driver comfort and 

has smooth highway manners. 

It also equips itself well in a corner. 

The optional wheels also play 

their part, the big 19in tyres are 

informative and steer directly into 

a corner. Feedback of how they are 

relating to the road surface is encouraging, 

the Jolion is directional 

and balanced. That is something 

manufacturers often find hard to 

conquer in an SUV. By sheer nature 

of their height they often lean 

awkwardly in a corner, I’m pleased 

to report the Jolion feels stable even 

when forced into a bend quickly. 

It is this controlled behaviour 

that will lure buyers into the Jolion. 

For one it is the quintessential 

family wagon that pleases with its 

style and fresh design. In terms of 

driveability it exudes confidence 

and ability, yet it does everything 

with a relaxed demeanour. 

For me, I’d be an entry level 

buyer. Sure, you only get cloth 

trim and miss out on a few other 

goodies, but I’m not sold on leather 

anyway. Buyers who want Haval are 

looking at the budget carefully and 

the Jolion has variants to suit those 

who are stretched as well as those 

who have a few bob extra to spend 

on the niceties such as the blackout 

add-ons and the luxury items at the 

top end of the range. 

Haval is going places in our 

market and don’t expect anything 

to change soon, as the SUV 

division of Great Wall Motors, 

the brand has substantial backing 

and it’s good cars like the Jolion 

that will continue both companies 

momentum here in New Zealand 

and globally.

Selwyn District Council 

Final proposal for representation arrangements for the 2022 local elections 

Submissions 

On 27 October 2021 the Selwyn District Council considered the submissions received on its 

initial proposal regarding the representation arrangements for the Council and its constituent 

community board to apply for the local elections to be held on 8 October 2022. 

The Council received 14 submissions on its proposal. Five submissions were in favour of 

the Council’s proposal. Nine submissions contained objections to various elements of the 

proposal, as follows: 

· eight submitters objected to the proposal to move West Melton from the current Selwyn 

Central Ward to the Malvern Ward. 

· one submitter opposed the changes to ward boundaries but supported the proposal to 

reduce the number of councillors 

· two submitters considered that an area in the vicinity of West Rolleston should be retained 

in the proposed Rolleston Ward 

· one submitter considered that the reduction in the number of councillors would reduce the 

effectiveness of representation 

· two submitters indicated their preference for the option of three wards and 10 councillors 

from the previous round of preliminary consultation 

· four submitters opposed the proposal to retain the Malvern Community Board and add an 

additional subdivision for West Melton. 

Final proposal 

In considering submissions the Council noted that the initial proposal was considered to 

be the best option in terms of balancing communities of interest requirements with the 

requirements for fair and effective representation. 

Having considered all of the submissions, the Council resolved to adopt its initial proposal 

as the Council’s final proposal, without amendments. 

Therefore the final proposal is as follows. 

Council Representation 

It is proposed that the Council comprise 10 members elected from four wards, and the 

mayor. The four wards reflect the following identified communities of interest: 

Ward 

Ellesmere 

Malvern 

Rolleston 

Springs 

Communities of interest 

Brookside, Burnham, Burnham Military Camp, Doyleston, Dunsandel, 

Greenpark, Irwell, Killinchy, Lakeside, Leeston, Mead, Motukarara, 

Rakaia Huts, Sedgemere, Southbridge, Taumutu 

Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Coalgate, Darfield, Glenroy, Glentunnel, 

Greendale, Halkett, Hororata, Kirwee, Lake Coleridge, Sheffield, 

Springfield, West Melton, Waddington, Whitecliffs, Windwhistle 

Rolleston 

Ladbrooks, Lincoln, Prebbleton, Springston, Tai Tapu, Weedons 

The population that each member will represent is as follows: 

Ward Population Members 

Population per 

Member 

Ellesmere Ward 12,700 2 6,350 

Malvern Ward 14,900 2 7,450 

Rolleston Ward 22,390 3 7,463 

Springs Ward 19,690 3 6,563 

Total 69,680 10 6,968 

Community Board Representation 

It is proposed that one community board be elected, representing the Malvern Ward.

Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Coalgate, Darfield, Glenroy, Glentunnel, 

Greendale, Halkett, Hororata, Kirwee, Lake Coleridge, Sheffield,

The Malvern Community Board will elect five members. One councillor will be appointed to 

the community board from the Malvern Ward. 

The Malvern Community Board will be subdivided for electoral purposes as follows: 

Subdivision 

Hawkins 

Tawera 

West Melton 

Area of Subdivision 

Darfield, Kirwee, Sheffield, Waddington 

Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Coalgate, Glenroy, Glentunnel, Greendale,

Member 

Hawkins Subdivision 6,000 2 3,000 

Tawera Subdivision 3,030 1 3,030 

West Melton Subdivision 5,870 2 2,935 

Total 14,900 5 2,980 

The population each member of the Malvern Community Board represents falls within the 

range of 2,980 +/-10% (2,682 – 3,278) in accordance with section 19V(2), Local Electoral Act. 

Appeals 

Any person who made a submission on the Council’s initial proposal may lodge an 

appeal against the Council’s decision. An appeal must relate to the matters raised in that 

person's submission. 

Appeals must be made in writing and must be received by Council no later than 

5pm on Monday 13 December 2021.

Making the most of 

show home viewing 

Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for 

features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful 

for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design. 

23 

[Edition datE] 1 

Before heading out for a day’s 

viewing, conduct an internet search. 

identify the locations of show home 

villages and the types and sizes of the 

various building company’s homes on 

display, noting down the square metre 

size of each home. 

if wanting a high end, architectural 

design, focus on the larger homes that 

have desirable design features. if at the 

entry or middle level of the market, 

earmark homes that fit this taking in 

other show homes for extra ideas. 

allow sufficient time when visiting each 

show home, asking for a floor plan that 

has room sizes before walking through. 

Check also the floor to ceiling height 

of the rooms and consider how this feels 

and whether you prefer a cosier feel with 

the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or 

more spaciousness created with a higher 

stud or exposed ceiling beams. 

if doors and windows are taller than 

normal, weigh their effect in creating 

a more luxurious and spacious feel, 

against potential inconvenience for small 

children, cleaning and maintenance. 

on entering each room, take account of 

how much furniture is in each room and 

whether there is sufficient space for the 

furniture you will have in the room and 

the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look 

too, at storage capacity throughout the 

home and whether this is adequate. 

in the living areas, consider whether a 

lounge separated from the family living 

room or a true open plan kitchen, dining, 

living/lounge area is preferable, and 

compare internal kitchens with those that 

have natural light. 

Look too at the layout of 

the kitchen: whether to have 

an island sink or breakfast 

bar where a newspaper can 

be read, and children can 

sit and draw or complete 

homework; the positioning 

of appliances; and how 

important having a pantry is. 

for the little rooms, equate 

space and features desired 

with that needed, especially 

if the budget needs to be 

sharp. it might be nice to 

have a large walk-in shower 

with double shower heads 

but is this just fanciful and 

will the extra cleaning annoy you long 

term. a laundry in the garage is also more 

economical though a separate laundry 

may be handier. 

Bring the garage size into the equation 

also. as these vary considerably, assess 

the actual measurements of each garage 

viewed comparing this with the space 

SELLING YOUR HOME? 

needed for your motor vehicles and other 

items to be stored there. if a good number 

of toys will be housed there, it may be 

sensible to increase the size of this area of 

the home. 

By imagining what you need, want and 

will have in your new home, you will be in 

a better position to confidently choose a 

design that works for you. 

Potential buyers are 

likely to be living in your 

neighbourhood, it’s an 

area that they already love 

and are actively seeking 

to stay in. That’s why it 

makes sense to advertise 

your property in the 

Selwyn Property Guide. 

We are the only media 

that reaches across the 

entire Selwyn District.

Selling your property? 

First impressions count, 

get rid of the clutter. 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter is one of the keys to selling property 

fast and at a good price. Good storage systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter. 

Good storage ideas are abundant and 

all manner of products are available 

to make homes more minimalistic. 

While it’s nice to buy your storage from 

designer homewares stores, the likes of 

The Warehouse and Kmart sell many 

simple products for masking clutter. 

Fabric storage cubes are a great start 

for disguising the clutter. They fit neatly 

into shelves and wardrobes and thanks 

to competition from the big department 

stores, can cost $10 or less each. You’ll 

also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven and 

metal baskets for a song. 

Another clever idea, 

is to buy a cheap set of 

melamine shelves for use 

in your wardrobe. A set 

of shelves does much the 

same job as an expensive 

wardrobe fit out. You can 

move the shelf heights to 

accommodate shoes and 

boots. It looks good, but 

costs little. 

Another wardrobe 

organisation is a Wardrobe 

Starter Kit from Hardware 

stores. While you’re there, 

check out bicycle storage hooks as well. 

As well as being practical, storage 

products can make a design statement. 

The important thing is to be consistent. 

don’t, for example, buy storage cubes 

in different colours. If you’re looking 

for really clever home storage ideas take 

a tip from the tiny home movement. 

Catherine Foster who wrote Small House 

Living, downsized her life to under 90sq 

m and has interviewed Kiwis who live 

in architecturally designed homes of that 

size or smaller. 

Each and every house in 

Foster’s book uses storage 

effectively to tame their 

belongings. Some have done 

it on the smell of an oily rag, 

sometimes buying pre-cut heavy 

duty plywood that only has to be 

screwed together, she says. 

Garages and lofts are house vendors’ 

friends. The garage is one of the few 

places in the house that buyers won’t 

be put off by a little extra stuff, but the 

more that can be hidden away in stacked 

crates the better. Consider using flat pack 

cupboards that can be taken with you. 

“The most effective way of using these 

is to find a wall where the whole area can 

be covered floor to ceiling,” 

“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level 

if you’re handy, or get a handyman in for 

a few hours, but make sure it is excluded 

from the list of chattels on the sale 

agreement.” 

Loft spaces are often wasted space 

in Kiwi homes. A relatively cheap way 

to open up the space is to install a loft 

ladder. You will be amazed at what people 

use the additional storage space for, once 

they’ve installed it. 

Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just 

limited to the interior of the house, 

garage and loft. The Warehouse, Mitre 

10 & other hardware stores sell garden 

storage to hide away things usually left 

outside. 

Foldable garden storage boxes that cost 

from around $99 can be used to store 

garden tools, outdoor cushions and pool 

paraphernalia. The next step up is a cheap 

garden shed for around $200 upwards 

from Mitre 10, Bunnings Warehouse and 

other stores. 

Finally, if you’re looking for more 

inspiration Google “storage ideas”, search 

the same on Pinterest, or check out books 

on the subject from your local library. 

You’ll be amazed at how many everyday 

items can be repurposed for storage at the 

same time as adding design excellence to 

your home. 

Springfield 527 Kowai Road

REAA - Understanding real estate jargon 

25 

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.

Weatherproofing tips for your 

house design 

Insulation and double glazed windows are compulsory 

in new homes making them infinitely superior to their 

older counterparts for warmth yet more can be done to 

weatherproof a new home. 

Underfloor insulation 

Foam insulated expanded polystyrene 

panels under the concrete slab act as an 

insulating barrier, stopping cold coming 

through from under the house. 

Garages 

Insulating the garage and its door will 

cut down on a steady stream of cold air 

sneaking into the house. An insulated 

garage door can lift the temperature 

substantially even when the garage itself is 

not heated, making it a more pleasant place 

to spend time. Any home appliances kept 

in the garage will use less electricity as they 

will not have to work as hard and your car 

battery may last longer. 

Roof design 

Roof designs vary. The simplest way to 

achieve a weather tight house is to have a 

simple roof design with an overhanging 

surfeit. Architectural flat roofs will work 

though more care is needed to achieve 

weather tightness especially where there 

are hidden or back roof gutters. Having a 

roof with no overhang also requires more 

care with the design due to its complexity 

and potential for problems. Regular 

maintenance to clean out leaves and 

debris that gets caught in the roof will be 

advantageous in both cases. 

Porticos 

Taking the roof out beyond the house 

is ideal for providing a sheltered area for 

spending time outdoors when the weather 

is inclement. 

Snow straps or guttering 

protection 

Wherever snow is a likely part of winter, 

installation of snow straps is a good idea. 

These prevent damage to guttering from 

the weight of snow as it slides off the roof. 

Alternatively, an expanded steel mesh 

product such as Gutter Guard could 

be fitted. This has the added benefit of 

preventing spouting blockages from leaf 

and other debris. 

Capitalise on the sun 

Maximise the sun’s free energy with 

plenty of windows, especially on the north 

side of the house. 

Low-E argon gas filled double glazing increases insulation. 

Outdoor areas 

When choosing a house design, consider 

how it will sit on the section and whether 

it offers potential to catch sun inside the 

home and for sunny sheltered outdoor areas 

away from prevailing winds. 

Windows and doors 

Upgrade on the minimum standard 

for double glazing with thermally broken 

joinery and low-emissivity argon gas filled 

windows and doors, increasing insulation 

effectiveness. 

Energy efficient heating 

Explore heating options, selecting what 

will work best given the size of home and 

family needs. Heat pumps are an efficient 

form of heating with two cassette and 

energy saving options available while heat 

transfer systems are great if there is a log 

burner. 

Explore energy saving 

heating options.

Fix those minor defects 

Start out front, cleaning, clearing and decluttering 

the yard to make a good impression on buyers. 

It’s a rare house that doesn’t 

have defects. Even newly 

renovated ones can have features 

that detract for buyers. But there 

are ways for sellers to deflect 

attention from them without 

pretending they’re not there. The 

three main ways of dealing with 

defects are: 

1. Fix them. 

2. Draw the eye away from 

them. 

3. Use them as a selling point. 

Simple defects can be fixed easily. Start 

out front. Overgrown bushes can be 

trimmed, or replaced with a few matching 

plants, old fences and front doors can be 

painted or stained, and the paths cleaned. 

Do this even if a property is a do-up. 

You want to give the impression that 

buyers can move into the house and chip 

away at the work in their own time. 

If you have time and money, paint sills 

and eaves using accents. 

Inside, the first thing buyers see is the 

hallway, which can be brightened up with 

a lick of paint. The neutral paint trick can 

also be used to paint over dated wallpaper, 

completely changing the look and feel of a 

tired house. 

Bathrooms and kitchens are important 

to buyers, and the eye settles on vanities 

and benches. These can be resurfaced 

relatively quickly to give a modern look. 

If the seller can’t repaint or tile the 

bathroom bring in high quality matching 

towels, which become a feature in the 

room and draw the eye from the less than 

desirable walls and features. Nice vases 

and flowers will do the same. 

Replacing handles and knobs to draw 

attention away from the units themselves. 

This reduces the number of “I have to do 

this” thoughts in potential buyers’ minds. 

Drawing the eye away from a multitude 

of sins is exactly the thing to do. 

If you see an empty house the eye always 

goes to marks on the carpet and walls and 

this will lower the price expectation.” 

Drawing the eye to the furniture and 

furnishings, creates better flow, and de 

cluttering makes buyers feel the home 

would be a nice place to live in. 

Finally, good old fashioned elbow grease 

is essential in all properties to remove 

those sins that are simply cleanable.

Four things you MUST 

do before buying a home 

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

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

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

Here are our top four tasks for home 

buyers. 

1. Research the property 

The real estate agent selling the 

property acts on behalf of the seller, 

however they are also required to 

tell you everything they know about 

the property. They must respond 

professionally to all your enquiries and 

not withhold any details. Remember 

that you still need to do your own 

due diligence. That means getting a 

title search so you can find out all the 

facts about the property’s ownership, 

boundary and access, as held by Land 

Information New Zealand (LINZ). It’s 

a good idea to get a Land Information 

Memorandum (LIM), which shows 

information held by the local council 

about the property and land. For 

valuable feedback on the property’s 

condition, get a report done by 

an inspector who has professional 

indemnity insurance and carries out 

their work in accordance with the New 

Zealand Property Inspection Standard. 

Although this all costs money, it will 

save you more in the long term. Sellers 

may occasionally provide some of this 

information for you. If this happens, 

check that it is up-to-date. 

2. Get legal advice 

Buying property is expensive, and it 

can cost even more if something goes 

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

legal advice before you sign anything. 

A lawyer will handle all the paperwork 

29 

involved in the process, including the 

title search, and offer impartial advice. 

If you don’t have a lawyer, the New 

Zealand Law Society can help you find 

one at propertylawyers.org.nz. 

3. Understand the sale process 

There are several methods of buying 

and selling property, for example, 

tender or auction. It’s important to 

understand the process for the property 

you are buying. Practices can vary 

between agencies so make sure you 

confirm details with them. The Home 

Buyer’s Guide at buyingahome.reaa. 

govt.nz has more helpful advice. 

4. Read the sale and purchase 

agreement and understand what it 

means 

The sale and purchase agreement 

is your contract with the seller. It is 

crucial to read it very carefully and get 

legal advice before you sign. You can 

negotiate the terms and conditions of 

an agreement, but once you sign it, 

there’s no going back.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Increase property appeal 

– maximise outdoor living 

Canterbury is well-known for its harsh sun and blustery 

north-easterly winds and rain. However, home buyers 

are looking for that X factor, and a great outdoor living 

space could be just the thing to set your property apart 

from others. New Zealanders love outdoor living spaces 

for relaxing and entertaining, and luckily there are many 

options to deal with unpredictable weather conditions. 

Hamish from Weather Wise Shade Systems, based in 

Leeston, suggests by using shade, wind and waterproofing 

structures, you can be “Living Outside for Longer”, 

enjoying your environment regardless of the weather. 

No matter what your budget is, there is a shade 

structure that will suit your needs. One option is to use 

a large temporary umbrella or lightweight sail that can 

be put up or taken down as required. Colours and style 

can be personalised to suit your space and taste. These 

popular products are often relatively low cost, with 

cantilevered, rotating and wall-mounted options available 

to provide flexibility. Large and durable shade sails with 

UV protection can be permanently attached to the side of 

the house or installed as a free-standing structure to cope 

with Canterbury’s gale-force winds. 

Although at the higher end of the budget, 

homeowners increasingly choose louvred 

shade structures and retractable awnings 

for greater shelter and shade. Investing in 

these structures will provide a permanent 

extension to your home and potentially 

increase your selling price. Open-air 

pergola-type structures with four posts 

function as a framework for other shade 

options. With retractable awnings that can 

be operated manually or fully automated, 

you can have sunlight or shade at your 

fingertips. Another popular choice is the 

addition of drop-down blinds (transparent, 

opaque, or block out) to create another 

entire room protected from the wind and rain. 

Versatile outdoor shade solutions offer more than 

protection from the elements and can add value and style 

to your home when presenting it for sale. Hamish says, 

“By designing a space and making it more usable with a 

shade sail or louvres, you are adding the finishing touch 

to your landscaping to tie it together with the architecture 

of the house to make it aesthetically pleasing.” Therefore, 

maximising your outdoor living space can improve your 

home’s look and function while increasing your property’s 

value and appeal to potential buyers.

trendy kitchen, a log burner and a high feature ceiling, opens out onto a covered verandah and deck. This is the 

perfect place to sit and relax whilst the children play out on the large lawn of the fully-fenced 835sqm section. The 

master bedroom, with ensuite and walk-in robe also has ranch sliders that open to the deck. Two further double 

bedrooms, a tiled family bathroom and a separate laundry complete the floor plan. Double glazing and a heat 

transfer kit, in addition to the log burner. The double garage has a drive-thru door, plus there is off-street parking.
