Lincoln South hearing: Land shortage<br />
fuels unprecedented price escalation<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
ADVOCATES for Carter<br />
Group’s controversial<br />
2000-home Lincoln South<br />
development say land is<br />
desperately needed to free up<br />
supply.<br />
The hearing for the Plan<br />
Change 69 zone change<br />
application opened this week at<br />
Tai Tapu Community Centre.<br />
It is scheduled to run until<br />
Friday. About 55 people are to be<br />
heard.<br />
The first of these on Monday<br />
morning was Carter Group director<br />
Tim Carter and supporters<br />
giving expert evidence, including<br />
real estate agent Chris Jones and<br />
registered valuer Gary Sellars.<br />
Jones and Sellars painted a<br />
picture of the urgency of the<br />
development in the face of high<br />
demand for sections and little<br />
supply, which had led to an unprecedented<br />
escalation in prices.<br />
“While the high demand for<br />
residential sections is evident<br />
throughout Greater Christchurch,<br />
the market in Lincoln is<br />
particularly frantic,” Jones said.<br />
He added that it was “practically<br />
impossible” to buy a section<br />
in Lincoln. He believed it was<br />
HEARING: Commissioner David Caldwell (left) hears from real estate agent Chris Jones,<br />
who painted a picture of the dire need for new sections. Applicant representative Tim<br />
Carter, at the table on right, is flanked by his counsel Jo Appleyard (far left) and Lucy<br />
Forrester, and planner Jeremy Phillips.<br />
only a matter of time before the<br />
average house and land package<br />
in the township would be about<br />
$1 million, as had happened in<br />
Halswell.<br />
“If the rezoning of sites is put<br />
off any longer, there will be a<br />
window of no residential purchasing<br />
in Lincoln, which will<br />
lead to existing prices sky rocketing<br />
higher than they already<br />
are,” Jones said.<br />
Sellars gave an indication of<br />
just how high those prices had<br />
sky rocketed. While there had<br />
been a regular upward trend<br />
in the average sale price since<br />
2011, in the last 12 months the<br />
growth had been exponential. It<br />
went from $238,334 last year to<br />
$520,000 this year, so was well in<br />
excess of 100 per cent.<br />
“From my experience, it is<br />
preferable there is always an<br />
oversupply of appropriately<br />
zoned land, so that the market<br />
can determine when and if<br />
it is developed into sections<br />
dependent upon demand,”<br />
Sellars said.<br />
Carter also spoke about the<br />
major shortage of sections. He<br />
said that Carter Group had recently<br />
gone back into residential<br />
development in response. It had<br />
since been “inundated” with<br />
requests from people wanting<br />
to secure land on which to build<br />
their homes.<br />
He said <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the only<br />
district in Canterbury that had<br />
ample land to provide for ongoing<br />
growth opportunities. When<br />
looking for land to develop, the<br />
company sought large blocks<br />
adjoining urban environments<br />
that could be developed in a<br />
comprehensive way.<br />
“In our view, the Plan Change<br />
69 site is unique in that it is a very<br />
logical extension of the Lincoln<br />
township. This, combined with<br />
physical features of this site, will<br />
make it a very appealing and high<br />
quality human environment.”<br />
In addition to PC69,<br />
Carter Group was pursuing Plan<br />
Change 73, to rezone 160ha of<br />
land in Rolleston to enable about<br />
2100 sections. A decision on<br />
PC73 is expected by the end of<br />
the year, he said.<br />

Sheds lost in fire: ‘Hedge<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
“FIRE, FIRE,” came the call<br />
from Danny Morris’ son. Morris<br />
ran outside, and within minutes<br />
he was fighting to save his home.<br />
The fierce blaze on a lifestyle<br />
block near Lincoln is believed to<br />
have started from a home-made<br />
barbecue, which Morris had lit<br />
to celebrate his son Zechariah’s<br />
eighth birthday.<br />
People at the scene frantically<br />
got vehicles out of the way as<br />
explosions rattled around them.<br />
Eight fire appliances and crews<br />
attended. A work shed and a<br />
farm shed were destroyed, along<br />
with a tractor, caravan, van,<br />
forklift and car.<br />
Morris lost about $30,000 of<br />
vehicles and equipment stored<br />
in the work shed. He was not<br />
insured. However, when he considers<br />
the ferocity and speed of<br />
the blaze, he feels blessed.<br />
“It would have gone up like a<br />
blooming fire cracker,” he said of<br />
the home, where he lives with his<br />
wife and four children.<br />
The reason it didn’t was due<br />
to the “tremendous” work of<br />
firefighters, and luck. He said<br />
while the weatherboard villa’s<br />
window exploded, paint blistered<br />
and spouting melted, the fire did<br />
not penetrate the wall near the<br />
blaze as this area happened to be<br />
SURREAL: Danny Morris can’t believe how quickly the ferocious blaze took hold.<br />

inflammable fibrolite.<br />
He said the ordeal began about<br />
4pm on <strong>November</strong> 16 as he was<br />
preparing to hold the birthday<br />
barbecue outside. About 15min<br />
after he lit a few pieces of gum<br />
timber in a steel square wheelbarrow<br />
and the flames quelled,<br />
ready for him to put a steel grate<br />
on top, he went inside to wash<br />
his hands.<br />
That was when he heard his<br />
son yelling and he ran outside.<br />
“I couldn’t even see the fire,<br />
I thought he was joking, I was<br />
about to tell him off,” Morris said.<br />
But he soon saw what Zechariah<br />
was looking at – flames<br />
in a hedge about 5m away. He<br />
believed wind, which had rapidly<br />
come up, had all of a sudden carried<br />
a spark to the hedge.<br />
He cranked up a water blaster,<br />
but the fire “just took off.”<br />
“As I was fighting it, it was so<br />
surreal, how the hell did we end<br />
up here?” he said.<br />
Passing motorists stopped to<br />
help, while his wife, neighbours<br />
and others phoned 111. As firefighters<br />
got to work, he stayed at<br />
the scene for a while, “watching<br />
in disbelief.”<br />
Morris said he was proud of<br />
Zechariah for raising the alarm,<br />
and moving his little two-yearold<br />
brother as the family shifted<br />
to safety.<br />
Morris sells firewood and<br />
makes furniture. The items lost<br />
included woodworking gear, tree<br />
cutting gear and machines, a<br />
forklift, welders, and a small car<br />
he was working on. They were<br />
in the work shed on the lifestyle<br />
block on Greenpark Rd, which<br />
he and his family rented.<br />
“I’m feeling pretty blessed,<br />
I’ve got good people around, my<br />
family is safe.”<br />
One of the passing motorists<br />
was Kerry Cameron of<br />
Springston. He leant a hand by<br />
driving a car out of a driveway.<br />

He described the frantic efforts<br />
of others at the scene as there<br />
were small explosions and the<br />
blaze moved into the farm shed.<br />
A couple of men managed to push<br />
a horse float out of the way, but<br />
could not start a tractor next to<br />
a caravan, so both of these were<br />
destroyed.<br />
Lincoln chief fire officer Jeremy<br />
Greenwood said the fire was<br />
fanned by strong winds. It quickly<br />
spread from the macrocarpa<br />
hedge to the farm buildings and<br />
came within 2m of the house.<br />
“We managed to stop it spreading<br />
to the house,” Greenwood<br />
said.<br />
Greenwood said the macrocarpa<br />
hedge was “like a can of<br />

Firefighters had the fire under<br />

four hours at the scene.<br />

Charges laid<br />
over alleged<br />
pensioner attack<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
FOUR YOUTHS from<br />
Christchurch have been charged<br />
in relation to an alleged assault<br />
on a Prebbleton pensioner in<br />
January.<br />
The teenagers have been<br />
charged with unlawfully<br />
taking a motor vehicle and<br />
theft, while two of them are<br />
also facing aggravated robbery<br />
charges in connection with the<br />
alleged assault on Birchs Rd.<br />
They are being dealt with in<br />
the Youth Court.<br />
The victim, aged in his 70s,<br />
heard a noise on his property<br />
about 9.20pm and went outside<br />
to find his shed being broken<br />
into. A youth was holding a petrol<br />
can. Three other youths ran<br />
from the shed and the elderly<br />
man was allegedly punched in<br />
the eye.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> youth aid officer<br />
Senior Constable Bruce Ward<br />
said it had been good to see the<br />
case result in charges following<br />
good work from officers at the<br />
Christchurch youth crime unit.<br />
It had been a serious incident<br />
and one which was rare for the<br />
district.<br />
“We don’t come across this<br />
sort of offending very often at<br />
all, especially in <strong>Selwyn</strong>,” Ward<br />
said.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> converged on<br />
Christchurch on Sunday as the<br />
nationwide Groundswell Mother<br />

Hundreds of tractors, utes and<br />
trucks formed a rolling convoy,<br />
coming in from as far away as<br />
Sheffield, via State Highway 73,<br />
and as far away as Leeston, via<br />
Rolleston, to Memorial Ave.<br />
Sheffield farmer Derek Bull,<br />
who co-organised the lobby<br />
group’s first protest at Darfield<br />
in July, said this time around<br />
it was a “spectacular” show<br />
of dissatisfaction with the<br />
Government, with more people<br />
than expected turning up. The<br />
message had not been muddled<br />
by inappropriate signs, or<br />
factions hijacking it, as had been<br />
reported from some other parts<br />
of the country.<br />
This meant that farmers’ message<br />
came across loud and clear,<br />
with signs on vehicles giving<br />
a clear visual display against a<br />
noisy backdrop of tooting of<br />
horns and cheers from supporters.<br />
Top of many of protestors’<br />
minds was Three Waters,<br />

Man faces<br />
charges over<br />
car crash<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
A 36-YEAR-OLD man from<br />
Christchurch has been charged<br />
following a car crash that injured<br />
an elderly couple at Lincoln on<br />
October 19.<br />
A police spokesperson said the<br />
man had been charged with operating<br />
a vehicle carelessly, refusing<br />
a request for a blood specimen<br />
and driving while suspended.<br />
He allegedly crashed his car<br />
into that of the elderly Lincoln<br />
couple as they drove on Gerald St<br />
about 1pm. They were travelling<br />
south when a motorist behind<br />
them drove to the left of their<br />
vehicle. The motorist then veered<br />
right and hit their vehicle’s side<br />
and front.<br />
“Thank god for seat belts, they<br />
saved us,” the Lincoln man told<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> after the crash.<br />
He and his wife were taken<br />
in and looked after by the crew<br />
at the nearby Property Brokers,<br />
before being taken to hospital<br />
by ambulance. They received<br />
bruising to their ribs and sternum<br />
from the seat belts.<br />
The alleged offender is<br />
scheduled to appear in<br />
Christchurch District Court on<br />
December 15.<br />

THE DISTRICT council is<br />
worried the Government’s new<br />
intensification housing plan will<br />
bring unwelcome social and<br />
infrastructure issues.<br />
The district council has expressed<br />
concern over the broad<br />
approach of the Government’s<br />
new housing intensification<br />
rules, and the speed at which<br />
they are being introduced.<br />
“In our<br />
submission we<br />
have made it<br />
really clear that<br />
such a broadbrush<br />
approach<br />
to enabling<br />
housing intensification<br />
will not deliver<br />
well-balanced<br />
well-being<br />
outcomes for present and future<br />
generations,” Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton said.<br />
“While the Bill might help the<br />
housing supply shortage it could<br />
equally lead to an unwelcome<br />
social and infrastructure issues,”<br />
The district council supports<br />
more housing for the growing<br />
population, but has raised concerns<br />
about the approach in its<br />
submission made yesterday on<br />
the Resource Management (Enabling<br />
Housing Supply and other<br />
matters) Amendment Bill.<br />
The Bill, currently before<br />
select committee, would allow<br />
three homes of up to three<br />
storeys high to be built without<br />
a resource consent on most<br />
residential areas in New Zealand<br />
largest urban areas, including<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> district, from August<br />
next year.<br />
The Bill is particularly relevant<br />
to <strong>Selwyn</strong>, which continues to<br />
be the fastest growing district in<br />
the country, both in terms of the<br />
total number of new residents<br />
and percentage growth.<br />
The most recent Stats NZ<br />
Population Estimates to June 30<br />
showed <strong>Selwyn</strong> grew by 3400<br />
people from 2020 to <strong>2021</strong>. This<br />

Intensification brings social concerns<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
was the largest increase in the<br />
country.<br />
“We support the Government’s<br />
aims to address New<br />
Zealand’s housing shortage and<br />
enable a wider range of housing<br />
options, including more affordable<br />
homes,” said Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton.<br />
“However, given the significant<br />
impact this Bill has on our<br />
council’s land use and infrastructure<br />
planning, we are frustrated<br />
that the Government only<br />
allowed a very short submission<br />
period which prevented us consulting<br />
with our community on<br />

concerns with the Bill are:<br />
• No information is provided<br />
on how infrastructure supporting<br />
the new developments would<br />
be planned and funded<br />

Work to save<br />
kauri<br />
recognised<br />
LINCOLN University Associate<br />
Professor Dr Amanda Black’s<br />
work to save threatened kauri<br />
forests by understanding<br />
important soil microbes is being<br />
recognised by the Royal Society<br />
Te Apārangi.<br />
Black is co-director of Bioprotection<br />
Aotearoa, and one of 11<br />
researchers awarded Rutherford<br />
Discovery Fellowships.<br />
Her research entitled Genomes<br />
to giants: Restoring resilient soil<br />
ecosystems in kauri forests was<br />
cited by the Royal Society Te<br />
Apārangi.<br />
“Microbes in soil – tiny living<br />
forms that are found all around<br />
us, too small to be seen by the<br />
naked eye – have a big role to play<br />
in making kauri trees dominant<br />
in our forests,’’ Black said.<br />
She said since European settlement,<br />
kauri forests have been<br />
significantly reduced, covering<br />
less than four per cent of their<br />
original pre-1800s land-range.<br />
“Kauri are now threatened<br />
with extinction through<br />
the loss of vital elements in<br />
soil such as nitrogen and<br />
phosphorus with the extinction<br />
of seabird populations, forest<br />
fragmentation, and invasive plant<br />
pathogens such as Phytophthora<br />
agathidicida, the causative agent<br />
of kauri dieback.”<br />

OUR PEOPLE – KATE WILLIAMSON<br />
Beating illness through tennis<br />
Ladbrooks’ Kate<br />
Williamson studied<br />
criminal law, and<br />
worked as a probation<br />
officer and recruitment<br />
agent. Now the 33-yearold<br />
has returned to a<br />
sporting passion of her<br />
childhood to become<br />
a professional tennis<br />
coach, which has<br />
helped her fight off<br />
a rare disease. Susan<br />
Sandys reports<br />
What are the highs and lows<br />
of being a professional tennis<br />
coach?<br />
I’m region coach for Ellesmere<br />
Tennis Association, coaching the<br />
rep teams within the Ellesmere<br />
region. I’m also head coach of<br />
Prebbleton Tennis Club, Lincoln<br />
Tennis Club and Ladbrooks<br />
Tennis Club. I definitely love<br />
working for myself. But there’s<br />
always nights when it’s freezing<br />
cold in the middle of winter,<br />
and it’s eight o’clock at night,<br />
and you are thinking: ‘Office<br />
job nine to five would be quite<br />
good right now.’ I don’t see (my<br />
partner) Julian until nine o’clock<br />
most nights. Mostly I teach kids,<br />
aged five to 18, but adults on a<br />
private basis. It’s really full on,<br />
I have a whole new respect for<br />
teachers. It’s so rewarding at the<br />
same time. If the kids weren’t<br />
enjoying it, I wouldn’t do it. I am<br />
now working alongside Tennis<br />
NZ which is a role I am really<br />
passionate about, as a coach<br />
developer. I go around different<br />
regions teaching other coaches<br />
or volunteers how to coach.<br />
How did you start playing<br />
tennis?<br />
My dad owns a motorcycle<br />
company, so I grew up riding<br />
motorbikes. My parents did not<br />
play tennis, but they took me<br />
along to a holiday Have A Go<br />
session at Prebbleton when I<br />
was eight. I wore completely non<br />
tennis clothes, and I had a silly<br />
old racket from The Warehouse,<br />
which nowadays I would<br />
cringe at. I was wearing a black<br />
flowery skirt, probably not even<br />
sneakers.<br />
Your passion for tennis took<br />
off from there?<br />
I joined up to local tennis<br />
training sessions at my school,<br />
Ladbrooks primary. The first rep<br />
team I ever made was the under<br />
12 girls team for Ellesmere. I<br />
kept playing for Ladbrooks until<br />
I was 13 and then I got asked to<br />
play in the Ellesmere senior A<br />
grade competition, so that was<br />
with all adults. I was only 13 and<br />
I started playing in the top grade<br />
you can play in in Ellesmere.<br />
You must have been the<br />
youngest there at that time?<br />
Yes, some of my mixed double<br />
partners were 50, 60 years old,<br />
so I learned a lot from them. I<br />
matured as a player, through<br />
learning tactics and tennis<br />
etiquette, that you perhaps miss<br />
when you are only a junior player.<br />
Did you continue playing<br />
through high school?<br />
I went to Lincoln High School,<br />
which wasn’t a big tennis school.<br />
But they had the year 9 tennis<br />
cup, which I won, and then<br />
eventually we did start a tennis<br />
team. My best friend played<br />
tennis as well, there’s a picture<br />
of us in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>. We<br />
played in the South Island<br />
secondary schools tournament.<br />
We qualified for that, it was kind<br />
of the start of Lincoln getting<br />
involved with tennis more.<br />
What did you do when you<br />
left school?<br />
When I was 18 years old,<br />
friends and parties became<br />
more of a priority. I would<br />
still play tennis, but I wouldn’t<br />
train during the week. I went<br />
to Canterbury uni, did a<br />
double degree, a BA and law.<br />
At university, tennis became<br />
even less of a priority. Although<br />
I still did play, and we played<br />
a law exchange with Dunedin<br />
university. I went up to<br />
Auckland University for my<br />
sixth and final year to do a<br />
postgraduate honours degree<br />
in criminology. After moving<br />
back home to Ladbrooks in<br />
2013, I got a job working for the<br />
Department of Corrections, as<br />
a probation officer, for about six<br />
months.<br />
That would have been an<br />
interesting job?<br />
It was a whole realisation for<br />
me, that the world isn’t such a<br />
pretty place in some areas. It was<br />
a long way from the nice, happy<br />
tennis clubs of Ellesmere. I gave<br />
up the position to move to Perth,<br />
to be with Julian, who worked<br />
in the mining industry. He had<br />
been flying back to Christchurch<br />
for his one week in five to visit<br />
me, it was quite the love story.<br />
What did you do in Perth?<br />
I ended up working in the oil<br />
and gas industry in recruitment,<br />
one of the biggest oil and gas<br />
companies in the world, Brunel.<br />
They were a huge company,<br />
so that was a great two years.<br />
Then one day the role actually<br />
changed, it suddenly became<br />
more about sales and having<br />
to get the work rather than fill<br />
the work. I decided I hated it, it<br />
wasn’t as fun anymore, I handed<br />
in my notice.<br />
So you became unemployed?<br />
When I quit, I decided: ‘Why<br />
not be a yoga teacher?’ I trained as<br />
a yoga teacher. At the same time,<br />
I had joined the Royal King’s<br />
Park Tennis Club in the city. So<br />
I started playing tennis more<br />
than I ever had. I made the top<br />
women’s team at the club, we had<br />
free coaching sessions, I started<br />
working as a tennis coach. I also<br />

trained and worked as a massage<br />
therapist. I worked for myself<br />
now, I was my own boss. We<br />
moved back home to Ladbrooks<br />
in 2016. I trained in tennis<br />
coaching and am ITF qualified.<br />
Do you still teach yoga?<br />
I had to give up in 2019. I got<br />
too busy in tennis, but I also got<br />
diagnosed with a really serious<br />
illness, Cushing’s Syndrome. So<br />
I ended up with this rare disease,<br />
which destroyed me. They think<br />
that the tumour, which is what<br />
I had on my adrenal gland, had<br />
been growing since 2016. That<br />
was when I actually randomly<br />
put on 20kg in two months, and<br />
was 80kg. Long story short, I<br />
kept trying to lose the weight<br />
and then two or three years went<br />
on and I was just getting bigger<br />
and bigger. I had insomnia, I had<br />
acne, I had my hair falling out<br />
and my blood pressure was 190. I<br />
had to be kept in hospital until it<br />
could be brought down. Instead<br />
of producing, say, 400 millilitres<br />
of cortisol, I was producing 3000.<br />
That’s the adrenaline hormone,<br />
so it feels like your body is a<br />
constant state of stress. It was<br />
this horrible, horrible disease.<br />
At the end of 2019, I was getting<br />
sicker, I got other people to cover<br />
my tennis, my sister Beth was<br />
also a tennis coach. Everyone<br />
was amazing in the tennis<br />
community, the support really<br />
got me through.<br />
How did you recover?<br />
I saw an endocrinologist, went<br />
on a surgery waiting list. In<br />
March 2020, I got my adrenal<br />
gland and my tumour removed.<br />
Very luckily, it wasn’t cancerous;<br />
you don’t know until it is taken<br />
out. After the surgery, I produced<br />
no cortisol. Even though you<br />
have two adrenal glands, the<br />
other one turned off, because my<br />
right one had been producing so<br />
much. So I went through a whole<br />
period for 2020, from March to<br />
October, being like a drug addict<br />
coming off drugs (withdrawing<br />
from high cortisol levels). I<br />
couldn’t walk I couldn’t go to the<br />
toilet, I would lie in bed shaking,<br />
fevers, spewing. So I got put on<br />
replacement steroids, but it still<br />
wasn’t enough. I had moved<br />
back in with mum and dad. That<br />
whole period of recovery was<br />
actually harder than having the<br />
disease itself. I went through<br />
extreme anxiety, depression,<br />
which I had never had in my life.<br />
Are you better now?<br />
Eventually, I started coaching<br />
again, at the end of 2020. I got<br />
extreme joint pain and I still get<br />
that, I kept fighting through.<br />
I have slowly got better and<br />
better. I have lost 25kg over the<br />
past year. A couple of months<br />
ago, I went to the hospital and<br />
got given the all clear. So my<br />
remaining adrenal gland has<br />
started working again. I’m cured<br />
from Cushing’s, but I still live<br />
with the after effects. I am now<br />
taking no medication, which is<br />
massive, the anxiety has gone<br />
the depression has gone, now<br />
I can recognise myself again.<br />
With Cushing’s, you not only put<br />
on weight, but your whole face<br />
blows up and you essentially lose<br />
your eyes, your face become so<br />
puffy. I don’t have that feeling of<br />
shame and embarrassment with<br />
how I look, it’s amazing how that<br />
can change your confidence.<br />
Did tennis help with your<br />
recovery?<br />
Yes, it gave me something to<br />
strive for. I wanted to be back<br />
full strength coaching, so I<br />
worked lots in the gym. You get<br />
a lot of muscle wastage, I lost all<br />
my strength. I slowly worked on<br />
building and building , so I can<br />
run again, and run on a tennis<br />
court and hit balls. I would get<br />
out and practice doing those<br />
things.<br />
SURGERY: Last year in March, Williamson underwent<br />
surgery to have an adrenal gland and tumour removed so<br />
she could begin to recover from Cushing’s syndrome.

A <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reader expresses opinion on the Lincoln Maternity Hospital<br />
THE LINCOLN Maternity<br />
Hospital should somehow be<br />
retained for various reasons,<br />
importantly as a symbol of<br />
respect for the huge part it has<br />
played in the community.<br />
Lincoln has lost it village<br />
feeling, retaining the hospital is<br />
important as the building should<br />
have heritage status. It also plays<br />
an important part in keeping<br />
Lincoln a proud village in which<br />
to live.<br />
It’s not about how many homes<br />
you could fit on the site.<br />
What are the options to<br />
retaining the building as a<br />
very important part of our<br />
community? – Colin Giddens,<br />

Building<br />
consent<br />
team praised<br />
THE DISTRICT council’s building<br />
consent team has been assessed as<br />
one of the top performing building<br />
consent authorities in the country.<br />
The latest independent<br />
accreditation assessment of<br />
the district council as a BCA<br />
was completed this month by<br />
International Accreditation New<br />
Zealand which conducts the<br />
review on behalf of the Ministry<br />
of Business, Innovation and<br />
Employment.<br />
The IANZ assessors praised the<br />
building team for maintaining its<br />
systems and processes at such a<br />
high level, given the unprecedented<br />
growth pressures the district has<br />
been under over the last year.<br />
Eight general non-compliance<br />
issues were identified, three of<br />
which were fully addressed, and<br />
four partially addressed, district<br />
council building manager Vanessa<br />
Mitchell said.<br />
One related to building consent<br />
processing time frames exceeding<br />
the statutory time frame of 20<br />
working days.<br />
Mitchell said proactive measures<br />
have seen the average consent<br />
processing time reducing from an<br />
average of 34 working days in July<br />
to <strong>24</strong> days in October.<br />
This comes in spite of an<br />
increasing number of consent<br />
applications.<br />

HUNDREDS OF orders have<br />
flooded in to a new online meal<br />
order and delivery platform<br />
following its launch in the<br />
district.<br />
Delivereasy is a New Zealandowned<br />
and operated service<br />
which started in Wellington<br />
about five years ago.<br />
Chief operating officer Quinn<br />
Davis is based in Wellington<br />
but is at the Christchurch office<br />
this month as he gets the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
operation off the ground.<br />
It launched on <strong>November</strong> 10,<br />
and in its first week, hundreds<br />
of orders flooded in. There are<br />
about 20 restaurants on board, at<br />
Lincoln and Rolleston. Customers<br />
order via the Delivereasy app<br />
or website, but must be located<br />
in the general vicinity of Lincoln<br />
and Rolleston or surrounding<br />
areas such as Springston, Burnham,<br />
West Melton, Prebbleton,<br />
Tai Tapu and Templeton, to<br />
ensure speed of delivery.<br />
Davis said new customers had<br />
been eager to utilise the new<br />
service, especially considering<br />
the district did not already have<br />
any similar service, such as Uber<br />
Eats.<br />
There had been no glitches to<br />

date, and he had received emails<br />
from customers praising the<br />
service.<br />
“You do get a lot of customers<br />
just being thankful that we are<br />
there,” Davis said.<br />
“It’s early days, so it’s only<br />
going to grow from here. It’s<br />
pretty exciting, it’s all been good<br />
timing.”<br />
The timing had been perfect,<br />
as it was when <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population<br />
was expanding and the<br />
dining scene was growing, with<br />
new restaurants establishing in<br />
the district.<br />
Restaurants on board to<br />
date include Joe’s Garage,<br />
Hachi Hachi and Little India<br />
at Rolleston, and Mexicali<br />
Fresh and NomNom Kitchen<br />
at Lincoln. Fast food outlets of<br />
McDonald’s and Subway are also<br />
on board.<br />
Davis said the service had<br />
signed up about 30 drivers, who<br />
work as independent contractors.<br />
Delivereasy has about 1300<br />
drivers around the country.<br />
There were no plans at this<br />
stage to expand the service to<br />
include other towns in <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
but this could be something<br />
Delivereasy would look at in the<br />
future.<br />
Davis said Delivereasy had<br />
grown steadily throughout New<br />
Zealand since being established,<br />
but had grown even further with<br />
the pandemic forcing people to<br />
dine at home.<br />
“It’s been a pretty crazy<br />
year and a half, it’s definitely<br />
skyrocketed since the<br />
lockdowns.”<br />

SPORT 15<br />
DARFIELD maintained their<br />
lead at the top of Canterbury<br />
country’s premier grade<br />
one-day cricket competition<br />
with a commanding win over<br />
competition rivals Cheviot.<br />
There were also wins for<br />
Oxford-Rangiora, Sefton, and<br />
Weedons in seventh-round action<br />
on Saturday.<br />
At the picturesque Cheviot<br />
Domain, Darfield batted first<br />
and got off to the perfect start<br />
with openers Nick Jenkins and<br />
Liam Foulkes putting on 127<br />
runs for the first wicket.<br />
When Foulkes was out for 45,<br />
Canterbury star Henry Shipley,<br />
fresh from his latest heroics in<br />
the Plunket Shield, smashed<br />
42 off just 21 balls to keep the<br />
momentum going.<br />
Jenkins was out in the 22nd<br />
over for 77 off 65 balls, a knock<br />
instrumental in driving Darfield<br />
to <strong>24</strong>9/8 in their allotted 45<br />
overs.<br />
Scott Burnett was the standout<br />
Cheviot bowler, claiming a fivewicket<br />
bag.<br />
Shipley opened the Darfield<br />
bowling and removed Ted<br />
Whelan and the dangerous<br />
Harry Fitzpatrick, before Liam<br />
Foulkes’ off-spin through the<br />
middle overs completed the<br />
dominant win.<br />
Only Cheviot opener Ryan Ellis,<br />
with a well-made 61, showed<br />
much resilience as Cheviot<br />
collapsed to be all out for 129 in<br />
the 33rd over, falling to a heavy<br />
120-run defeat.<br />
Oxford-Rangiora, with a few<br />
of their consistent performers<br />
away, picked up a quality 80-run<br />
victory over Ohoka at Mandeville.<br />
New opening pair Jonty Fleming<br />
(44 off 68) and Eden Sinclair<br />
(40 off 90) set up the win with<br />
a fine 83-run opening stand, as<br />
Oxford-Rangiora made 169/8 in<br />
their 45 overs.<br />
A similarly depleted Ohoka<br />
never threatened the total<br />
especially after Jake Waghorn<br />
knocked off three key scalps at<br />
the top of the order.<br />
Then it was Nathan Cook<br />
who stole the show, the left-arm<br />
spinner ripped through the<br />
remainder of the Ohoka order to<br />
finish with the superb figures of<br />
6/22 from 6.3 overs.<br />
Sefton overcame Leeston-<br />
Southbridge to claim a solid<br />
away victory, after defending<br />
237/6.<br />
Five Sefton players scored<br />
more than 30, with Matt Laffey<br />
Big win keeps Darfield at top-of-table<br />

After Canterbury seamer<br />
Fraser Sheat blasted out three<br />
top-order wickets, Toby Doyle<br />
(49 off 57) and Chris Beatson (49<br />
off 65) set about resurrecting the<br />
chase.<br />
But when they fell in the 21st<br />
and 26th overs respectively,<br />
nobody else was able to step up<br />
and the visitors claimed a 72-run<br />
victory.<br />
In the final game of the round,<br />
Weedons walloped Lincoln by 83<br />
runs, with Brad Nightingale the<br />
standout performer, top-scoring<br />
with 64.<br />
Southbrook had the bye.<br />

• By Jonny Turner<br />
THERE WAS little rest for Craig<br />
Thornley after he brought up his<br />
700th driving win at Timaru on<br />
Saturday.<br />
The Aylesbury reinsman<br />
brought up the milestone<br />
with a winning double for key<br />
supporter Donna Williamson<br />
on her home track with two<br />
of his signature front-running<br />
drives behind Clyde and The<br />
Dominator.<br />
By Sunday morning<br />
Thornley and Williamson<br />
were combining again – but<br />
this time with the racehorses of<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Thornley was on deck at<br />
Williamson’s Belmont stud, just<br />
a matter of metres from Phar<br />
Lap Raceway, where three foals<br />
were born overnight and there<br />
were plenty of mares to scan to<br />
ready them for the delivery of<br />
their foals next spring.<br />
The reinsman, whose career<br />
highlights include Group 1 wins<br />
with Franco Nelson and Nearea<br />
Franco and an Interdominion<br />
victory with Play On, said<br />
bringing up win 700 was made<br />
more special by it coming in<br />
Williamson’s colours on her<br />
home track.<br />
“You know it is always going to<br />
come – you’d like to think – but<br />
it was good to get it with Donna’s<br />
horses and especially at Timaru,”<br />
Thornley said.<br />
Clyde scored by half a length<br />
after Thornley took control of<br />
race 6 by sending the trotter to<br />
the front early.<br />
The margin could have been<br />
further if Clyde hadn’t taken<br />
his work so casually in the run<br />
home.<br />
“He was going easy and even<br />
up the straight – he just loafs a<br />
wee bit.”<br />
“He never felt like he was going<br />
to get beat, in fact, neither<br />
horse felt like they were going<br />
to get beat once they got to the<br />
front.”<br />

Thornley brings up 700 wins<br />
SPECIAL: Craig Thornley was thumbs up after driving his 700th career win.<br />
Thornley also had The<br />
Dominator in front controlling<br />
race 9, the George Shand<br />
Memorial.<br />
The open class seven-year-old<br />
made light work of his 30m back<br />
mark and was leading with a lap<br />
to go following a mid-race move<br />
from his driver.<br />
“He is funny because he never<br />
used to be a great beginner but<br />
now he has turned into a really<br />
good standing start horse.<br />
“That helps when you’re off a<br />
mark, you’re there, you’re not<br />
chasing.<br />
“It makes a big difference from<br />
a handicap like that.”<br />
Once in front, The Dominator<br />
was close to a good thing given<br />
he was dropping in class after<br />
contesting the Group 1 New<br />
Zealand Trotting Free-For-All<br />
on New Zealand Cup Day.<br />
“I thought he went a really<br />
good race in the Free-For-All,<br />
he burnt hard off the gate and<br />
he ran the fastest first 200m and<br />
the third fastest last 200m of the<br />
race.<br />
“He only beat one home but<br />
he still hit the line, so it was a<br />
massive drop in class for him<br />
today.”<br />

House sets<br />
up in<br />
Waikato<br />
• By Joshua Smith<br />
MICHAEL HOUSE is sending a<br />
team of 11 horses to Morrinsville<br />
where he is setting up a satellite<br />
stable for the summer.<br />
“I have made no secret that my<br />
long-range plan was to get back<br />
to the North Island, especially<br />
when Wilson [House, son] was<br />
accepted into year 1 at vet school<br />
[at Massey University] next year,”<br />
the Prebbleton harness racing<br />
trainer said.<br />
“When Cambridge announced<br />
that they were seeking South<br />
Island horses and were offering<br />
travel subsidies I rang them and<br />
said I was interested.<br />
“They wrote to me, and it didn’t<br />
spin my wheels, it didn’t make me<br />
decide straight away, but as time<br />
went by and the three trips that<br />
we have done to the North Island<br />
have been Covid restricted with<br />
the ferries.<br />
“They are down two ferries,<br />
plus with all the extra freight it<br />
has been very difficult.<br />
“Phil Coppins came along and<br />
said he would like to help and<br />
Cambridge have been very good.<br />
Maria Enochsson is going to be<br />
leading the team up there and<br />
stay up there [Morrinsville] for<br />
the summer.”<br />

Five artists combine for our new group exhibition ‘Sum of the Parts’<br />
<strong>November</strong> 27 - December 14; on show for a shorter duration to allow<br />
for all-important Christmas pickup opportunities.<br />
Contributing artists are Christchurch Kara Burrowes and local Little<br />
River sculptor Jane Downes. Jasmine Keir’s studio is in Kerikeri, just up<br />
the road from Dave Green in Rawene, and Debra Powell is from the<br />
rural Waikato hamlet of Te Pahu.<br />
Kara Burrowes is an artist and designer based in Christchurch. Her work<br />
is tactile and experimental. Using recycled wood from demolition sites, she loves<br />
the concept of transforming something quite ordinary into something precious and<br />
alluring. “Through reinterpretation I like to create a new language, often through the<br />
use of pattern and repetition, method and process.”<br />
Debra Powell’s alias in the pottery studio is ‘Little Betty’. Her ceramic work has<br />
strong narrative themes, exploring relationships between people and nature, playing<br />
with convention, and infusing the result with a gentle humour.<br />
Oxidized copper artist Jasmine Keir endeavours to create and understand the<br />
alchemy of colours achievable via her artistic process; one which uses a variety of<br />
natural ingredients to react with and manipulate the finish of her copper works.<br />
Dave Green creates whimsical arrangements; ‘Lightshifter’ sculptures. His art is about changing the form<br />
and shape of found, often discarded, objects - both natural and manmade. Reborn out of pre-loved glass<br />
and crystal, some are lighting devices others are designed to hang in the light.<br />
Sculptor Jane Downes’ delicate themes are fabricated in steel. ‘Arboresque’ a study of tree forms, an<br />
observation of nature’s sacred geometry.”<br />

Term 4 Update<br />
Principal’s Message<br />
<strong>2021</strong> marks a special milestone in the history of<br />
Rolleston College as we bid farewell to our foundation<br />
learners. It has been a joy and a privilege to have<br />
seen these learners through their full five years of<br />
education at Rolleston College. Many now embark<br />
next year to tertiary studies or the world of work well<br />
prepared for the agility and collaborating skills to adapt<br />
to the demands of a rapidly changing society. We thank<br />
our local community for supporting these learners through their<br />
5 years with opportunities for work experience, sponsorship and<br />
guidance.<br />
Rachel Skelton, Principal<br />
Rolleston College Leadership<br />
The Rolleston Spirit<br />
There are many different Leadership<br />
opportunities at Rolleston College and<br />
these reflect the many different<br />
ways in which someone can<br />
show leadership and give back<br />
to the College.<br />
A very thorough process<br />
took place at the end of<br />
Term 3 and the start of<br />
Term 4. This process<br />
involved applications,<br />
speeches, group<br />
interviews and individual<br />
interviews to select our<br />
Year 13 leadership positions.<br />
The next step is to select<br />
our Year 10 - 12 Whanau<br />
Ambassadors and this will be<br />
completed by the end of Term 4.<br />

TROTTING maestro Paul<br />
Nairn left Motukarara<br />
Raceway a happy man on<br />
Sunday after securing the<br />
perfect result with his two<br />
runners.<br />
Full of Hope got his day<br />
off to a positive start when<br />
taking out the Northern<br />
Rivers Equine – Pastor Stephen<br />
At Llowalong Farm<br />
Trot (2170m) and three<br />
races later he was back in<br />
the winner’s circle courtesy<br />
of three-year-old filly Resolve<br />
in the John Morrison<br />
Racing Trot (2170m).<br />
“I was happy with<br />
both horses. I think they<br />
both went in with a good<br />
show and it was nice that<br />
it worked out today,”<br />
Leeston-based Nairn said.<br />
Full Of Hope secured<br />
her fifth win with a frontrunning<br />
effort and she<br />
enjoyed being back on the<br />
grass surface.<br />
“She has been a nice<br />
mare, she has won five<br />
races now. She seems to<br />
like the grass, she has won<br />
about three on the grass.”<br />
Full Of Hope is one of<br />
only two live foals from her<br />
sire Waterloo Sunset’s first<br />
crop, with Nairn standing<br />
the son of Sundon at stud.<br />
“He only had two live<br />
foals in his first year and<br />
the other one was Gil<br />

New performing<br />
arts class to bring joy<br />
Adam Hayward from Arts Integrated<br />
meets with students from Waitaha School<br />
Young people living with disabilities will take to the stage in <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s newest performing arts class<br />
in February 2022, with support from the Council.<br />
The introductory course run by Arts Integrated and supported by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Creative Community<br />
Fund, starts on Wednesday 16 February at the Rolleston Community Centre. It will be hosted by<br />
Arts Integrated tutor Sam Corry and former Arts Integrated student, Samuel Major-Johnson.<br />
The course will run over 32 weeks. High-school students living with disabilities will learn how to<br />
entertain, work as a team and tell their own stories through music and paintings, preparing them<br />
with workplace skills.<br />
Arts Integrated ran their first course in 2014. They are passionate about making a difference<br />
for youth with disabilities by offering recreational programmes in the performing arts, as well as<br />
opportunities for their students to become paid assistant tutors in their programmes.<br />
Arts Integrated has been active in <strong>Selwyn</strong> working with Waitaha School students. They are grateful<br />
to be receiving this fund and excited to offer their courses to people in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />
Applications are open for The Creative Community Fund at selwyn.govt.nz/community and close on<br />
Friday 26 <strong>November</strong>.<br />
Council raises concerns about new housing rules<br />
The Council has expressed concern over the broad approach of the Government’s new housing<br />
intensification rules, and the speed at which they are being introduced.<br />
The Council supports the Government’s aims to address New Zealand’s housing shortage and allow<br />
more housing options including more affordable homes. It raised concerns about the approach in<br />
its submission made last week on the Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply and other<br />
matters) Amendment Bill.<br />
The Bill would allow the building of three homes up to three storeys high to be built without resource<br />
consent in residential areas of <strong>Selwyn</strong>, from August 2022.<br />
The Council is concerned the Bill could allow intensification in areas not suited to it and with little planning.<br />
“In our submission we made it really clear that such a broad-brush approach to enabling housing<br />
intensification will not deliver well-balanced well-being outcomes for present and future generations,”<br />
Mayor Broughton says.<br />
“While the Bill might fix the housing supply shortage it could equally lead to social and infrastructure issues.<br />
“The Council also regrets the very short submission period which prevented us consulting with our<br />
community,” he says.<br />
The Council’s full submission can be found on selwyn.govt.nz<br />
Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> - Dishing up<br />
cooking and sustainability skills<br />
At Monika Rastogi’s home you are greeted by the smell of warm<br />
Indian spices.<br />
In her kitchen Monika is preparing a delicious vegetable curry. Her<br />
six year old son Rayaan is busy chopping carrots.<br />
“I started involving Rayaan in cooking when he was just three. Now<br />
at the age of six he has already participated in three competitions!”<br />
Monika explains.<br />
Monika is passionate about getting children from five years up<br />
involved with cooking, as it is an essential life skill that involves<br />
focusing, problem solving, following instructions, and can boost<br />
confidence. “I love seeing smiles on children’s faces when they<br />
chop and prepare their own meal.”<br />
Originally from India, Monika and husband Manu moved to New<br />
Zealand in 2012, after living in Bangladesh and China.<br />
When Rayaan was two, the family began looking to buy their first<br />
home, close to a primary school and in a good community – they<br />
chose Prebbleton.<br />
“I like that it is very quiet and relaxed and calm. It is a mixed age<br />
group and kid friendly. We’ve got a good community, so that sense of<br />
belonging - that sense of family - makes this country our home now.”<br />
When they moved to New Zealand Monika particularly missed<br />
India’s events and festivities, late night shopping and the food.<br />
So Monika decided to bring what she missed from India to New<br />
Zealand, starting non-profit workshops teaching others how to cook<br />
authentic North Indian cuisine and about sustainability; what they<br />
can grow from a seed, cuttings and food scraps.<br />
When she’s not cooking or working as an early childhood reliever,<br />
Monika is active as a Lincoln Scouts leader, cricket coach,<br />
Christchurch peony club secretary, member of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Timebank<br />
and a volunteer, delivering food to those in need.<br />
Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> tells the stories behind the many faces we see<br />
around us in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. To hear the full interview with Monika or listen<br />

Council’s building team praised for its performance<br />
The Council’s consent team has been assessed as one of the top performing building consent<br />
authorities (BCA) in the country.<br />
The assessment was done by International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) on behalf of the Ministry<br />
of Business, Innovation and Employment. The review is required by law every two years.<br />
The IANZ assessors praised the Council’s building team for maintaining its systems and processes at<br />
such a high level, especially given the unprecedented growth pressures <strong>Selwyn</strong> has been under.<br />
They also commended the team for its continuous improvement.<br />
A low number of non-compliance issues and a strong management team with a real focus on<br />
continuous improvement mean IANZ considers the Council to pose a ‘low risk’.<br />
IANZ found eight general non-compliance issues. Three were fully addressed and four partially addressed<br />
during the assessment. The Council is working with IANZ on a plan to address the remainder.<br />
One issue was building consent processing timeframes exceeding the statutory timeframe of 20<br />
working days. This has been a national issue with high volumes of consent applications and a shortage<br />
of trained building control officers.<br />
Proactive measures by the Council including developing a safe fast-track programme for low-risk<br />
consets and on-the-job training have seen the average consent processing time reducing from an<br />
average of 34 working days in July to <strong>24</strong> days in October.<br />
This comes despite an increasing number of consent applications.<br />
Council building manager Vanessa Mitchell says the assessment results can reassure people that the<br />
Council has good systems and processes in place.<br />
“Our building consent staff have put a lot of effort into continuously improving the way we process<br />
and issue building consents, and it is a credit to the team that the reaccreditation process has gone so<br />
smoothly,” she says.<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces a new species found in his<br />
backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public<br />
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates<br />
found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />
Light attracts bug<br />
we know little about<br />
TURNING YOUR outside<br />
light on at night is a great way<br />
to survey the local moth fauna,<br />
but moths aren’t the only critters<br />
you attract.<br />
Beetles, wasps, caddisflies,<br />
spiders, mites and flies can all be<br />
seen around lights.<br />
Back in August, I found a<br />
true bug called Wekamiris<br />
auropilosus. This species is<br />
orange-brown to dark brown in<br />
colour with intricate patterns or<br />
markings on its back. It also has<br />
a small yellow head with large<br />
“buggy” eyes, compared to its<br />
head size.<br />
The species is 4-6mm long and<br />
occurs throughout New Zealand,<br />
including some offshore<br />
islands.<br />
Very little is known about<br />
this species, but it has been<br />
found on Pseudopanax<br />
species, Olearia ilicifolia,<br />
Muehlenbeckia, Nothofagus,<br />
ferns, tussock, and litter of Pinus<br />
radiata.<br />

Aggressive look for new Outlander<br />
THERE IS NO doubt Mitsubishi<br />
make particularly good cars,<br />
they also make particularly good<br />
television advertisements.<br />
One I find quite entertaining is<br />
that for the outgoing Outlander, it<br />
demonstrates the amount of space<br />
inside the mid-size sport utility<br />
vehicle and includes my favourite<br />
segment, Monty the white persian<br />
cat getting a short shrift from<br />
sleeping comfortably inside the car.<br />
Mitsubishi had a successful<br />
Outlander runout and it has<br />
been replaced with a new<br />
generation model, although the<br />
concept of old has been very much<br />
maintained.<br />
The newcomer has a fresh<br />
exterior design, it is squared-off<br />
up front with an aggressive grille,<br />
bumper and bold headlight shrouds.<br />
There’s also a new driveline,<br />
well, there is a new engine, the<br />
2.5-litre petrol unit is coupled to<br />
continuously variable transmission<br />
that Mitsubishi has utilised to<br />
good effect for many years now in<br />
the Outlander and other models.<br />
As before, the Outlander is also<br />
available in three front and three<br />
four-wheel-drive variants.<br />
The six-model range starts at<br />
$41,990 for the 2WD LS and ends<br />
at $54,990 for the seven-seat 4WD<br />
VRX, which is the subject of this<br />
evaluation.<br />
Like most car builders these<br />
days Mitsubishi isn’t immune from<br />
manufacturing and supply issues<br />
due to an ever-increasing global<br />
shortage of microchips and semiconductors,<br />
and depending on the<br />
time of purchase that could well<br />
determine specification inclusions.<br />
However, Mitsubishi are<br />
reasonably well placed and the new<br />
Outlander in VRX form is highly<br />
specced. Major items include full<br />
leather trim with heated seats<br />
up front and in the second row,<br />
electric seat adjustment, headup<br />
display, Bose audio, electric<br />
panoramic sunroof, kick-motion<br />
tailgate, wireless smartphone<br />
charging, triple-zone climate<br />
control and satellite navigation that<br />
sits in a large and comprehensive<br />
central touch screen.<br />
It was a bit of a surprise to learn<br />
there was a completely new engine<br />
for Outlander. The old 2.4-litre<br />
unit served the Outlander well<br />
and was a real honey in terms of<br />
how it operated. Nevertheless,<br />
the new engine picks up the<br />
same fundamentals, it is quiet,<br />
has efficiency and is relatively<br />
powerful. It has power outputs of<br />
135kW and <strong>24</strong>5Nm, up 9kW and<br />
21Nm respectively from the old.<br />
The <strong>24</strong>88cc unit is also listed with<br />
an 8.1l/100km combined cycle<br />
average.<br />
That’s quite good for a big<br />
petrol-powered SUV and they<br />
VERSATILE: Twenty-inch wheels on the Outlander help<br />
raise ground clearance and offer off-road flexibility.<br />
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER VRX: Bold front end and new engine for latest generation model.<br />
are figures I would rate as<br />
being achievable under perfect<br />
conditions. During my evaluation<br />
time, the readout was constantly<br />
sitting around 9l/100km. That<br />
included a lot of inner-city driving<br />
and my usual highway run. At<br />
100km/h the engine is loping over<br />
gently at 1500rpm, returning an<br />
instantaneous figure of 4.8l/100km.<br />
On the subject of figures, the<br />
Outlander will accelerate from a<br />
standstill to 100km/h in 9sec and<br />
will complete a highway overtake<br />
(80-120km/h) in 5.8sec.<br />
The engine works fluidly through<br />
the transmission, that’s one of<br />
the benefits of CVT, it allows the<br />
engine to work freely and, as such,<br />
is highly responsive, it isn’t flighty<br />
but it works the entire rev band<br />
willingly. The driver has the use of<br />
a paddle-shift gearing selector, it<br />
will lock the transmission into one<br />
of eight steps, which is useful for<br />
travelling on hill roads and many<br />
other applications.<br />
There’s also an economical mode<br />
that dulls the throttle response in<br />
the interests of saving fuel use.<br />
Mitsubishi builds great fourwheel-drive<br />
systems, and the new<br />
Outlander has the benefit of years<br />
of development through previous<br />
generation models and the likes<br />
of Lancer Evolution, Triton<br />
and Pajero models. The Super<br />
All-Wheel-Control system has<br />
many driver-selectable functions<br />
• Price – Mitsubishi<br />
Outlander VRX 4WD,<br />
$54,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4710mm; width, 1862mm;<br />
height, 1748mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
<strong>24</strong>88cc, 135kW, <strong>24</strong>5Nm,<br />
eight-step continuously<br />
variable automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 8.1/100km<br />
through a centre console dial. The<br />
evaluation car had only travelled<br />
400km when I picked it up, so I<br />
wasn’t prepared to drive crosscountry,<br />
but I did tackle a short offthe-seal<br />
road near Hororata, and<br />
could certainly feel drive kicking in<br />
through all four corners.<br />
The Hororata River was merely<br />
a dribble as I drove through the<br />
rocky river floor, it was a good<br />
test of suspension control, the<br />
four-strut system soaking up<br />
well the uneven surface. That’s<br />
another Outlander credential, it<br />
is occupant-friendly with wellcushioned<br />
underpinnings.<br />
That would also be a hard<br />
equation to get right, the<br />
newcomer sits on low profile 20in<br />
Bridgestone tyres (255/45), yet ride<br />
comfort hasn’t been jeopardised,<br />
the suspension has absorption<br />
and with supple seating the new<br />
Outlander is comfortable and<br />
relaxing to drive.<br />
With those big tyres there<br />
is also much feedback at the<br />
steering wheel and positive<br />
corner turn-in, accuracy is<br />
precise. Getting a big SUV to<br />
steer well is a big ask for the<br />
suspension engineers, but<br />
I’m pleased to report the new<br />
Outlander has control and a<br />
deliberate handling quality.<br />
When pushed into some corner<br />
challenges it feels rigid and stable,<br />
the high-quality tyres dealing to<br />
everything asked of them.<br />
More than anything the new<br />
Outlander is the useful wagon we<br />
have come to know and appreciate<br />
the model for. It, too, has the space<br />
inside that Mitsubishi has marketed<br />
well in previous generation models.<br />
Occupants seated in the rear row<br />
should be thankful, it’s really just<br />
an area for children or small adults,<br />
yet it doesn’t feel confined back<br />
there and getting in and out isn’t<br />
too onerous.<br />
The new Outlander has a certain<br />
finesse, especially in VRX form,<br />
it is plush and incredibly well<br />
appointed, I’m sure Monty would<br />
approve.<br />
I can’t wait to see Mitsubishi’s<br />
promotional material for the<br />
newcomer, the advertising agency<br />
has a hard act to follow.<br />
has motoring covered!<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
Girls’ Club Caravanning<br />
promotes independence<br />
Jobs, schedules and circumstances<br />
often restrict family holidays, but not for<br />
Dot; with two daughters (12 and 15) and<br />
a busy husband, Dot found a solution.<br />
Her husband couldn’t always take time<br />
off work, so with support, a pinch of<br />
confidence and freedom to visit amazing<br />
destinations, Dot started their “Girls’ Club<br />
Caravanning” eight years ago.<br />
The family enjoys year-round holidays<br />
with their Lunar Chateau caravan, staying<br />
dry and warm with electric blankets<br />
in winter. The caravan was chosen for<br />
quality, size and affordability, with ease<br />
of towing for Dot. It’s a bach on wheels<br />
being self-contained with cooking<br />
facilities, fridge and a toilet to avoid the<br />
dreaded late-night run through the rain,<br />
leaving the kids on their own. The queen<br />
and double bed easily accommodate the<br />
family, and in summer, they have tents for<br />
the kids.<br />
Before setting out, Dot checks the<br />
weather, and thoroughly inspects the<br />
caravan and does basic roadworthiness<br />
checks. She ensures there is water and gas<br />
bottles are full, all necessary cables are in<br />
the caravan, along with CRC, fly spray,<br />
insect repellent and sunscreen, and the<br />
all-important duct tape.<br />
Dot says, “I don’t do caravanning for<br />
me – I go caravanning for my kids, so<br />
they have a great childhood.” The Girls’<br />
Advanced<br />
Advanced<br />
Dot’s unique name, Girls’ Club<br />
Caravanning, helps her daughters<br />
to gain independence, resilience<br />
and problem-solving during their<br />
adventures.<br />
Club Caravanning holidaying ethos is<br />
about building independence, resilience<br />
and problem-solving. Dot comments,<br />
“The girls know how to do quite a bit on<br />
the caravan now; they have their jobs and<br />
feel empowered.” Dot hopes that when<br />
the girls get older, they’ll feel capable of<br />
travelling independently and will keep<br />
living their best life without excuses. Dot<br />

states that towing isn’t difficult,<br />
and with parking and reversing<br />
practice, you can get out of<br />
difficult situations with a calm<br />
attitude.<br />
This approach has helped during<br />
trips when things do go wrong.<br />
While on a recent trip, the caravan<br />
hatch flipped open and tore off.<br />
With rain and water coming in,<br />
Dot improvised using a large<br />
bag and duct tape on the inside.<br />
On another trip, with a loose<br />
connection and brake lights not<br />
working, Dot used a hair tie to<br />
hold the connector and bracket<br />
together, using some number<br />
eight wire-thinking. Teaching her<br />
daughters to think things through<br />
using logical thinking and<br />
common sense is part of the experience.<br />
Their caravan has enabled the family to<br />
build a lifetime of memories, with trips to<br />
many destinations by “getting the map out<br />
and following the weather”.<br />
Dot’s tips when travelling with<br />
one adult on the team:<br />
• regularly check weather and road<br />
conditions<br />
• contact campgrounds ahead of travelling<br />

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS<br />
Summer holidays<br />
safe driving tips<br />
Who doesn’t love a great summer road<br />
trip? With summer fast approaching, it’s<br />
time to prepare yourself and your vehicle to<br />
make sure things go smoothly and safely.<br />
Plan your journey<br />
Before setting off, plan your jo urney with<br />
intended rest stops and the route you will<br />
be taking. With many people heading out<br />
on holiday, allow extra time for more traffic<br />
and possible delays. Safety is essential, so<br />
ensure your vehicle is operating correctly.<br />
Check tyre tread and pressure, lights,<br />
brakes, air filter, oil, and top up your<br />
coolant. Ensure you have sufficient fuel/<br />
charge to make it to your first stop. Also,<br />
have a current warrant of fitness, car<br />
registration, and an appropriate driver’s<br />
licence. Finally, have a good night’s sleep<br />
before hitting the road.<br />
Keep distractions to a<br />
minimum<br />
Once you’re ready to go, ensure<br />
everyone in the vehicle is wearing<br />
a seatbelt correctly. Put your cell<br />
phone out of reach and focus on your<br />
driving and surroundings. Also, have<br />
sunglasses handy for road glare and to<br />
prevent eye fatigue. Secure loose items<br />
in your vehicle, as they can become<br />
missiles in an accident. Think of<br />
everyone’s safety and don’t drink and<br />
drive. Watch your speed and following<br />
distances as everyone wants to make<br />
it to their intended destination<br />
without mishap. “The journey is<br />
more important than the destination” is<br />
especially true on a road trip. Pull over and<br />
rest when you need to. Remain calm, be<br />
a courteous driver, be patient, and allow<br />
drivers to merge when needed.<br />
Check weather and road<br />
conditions<br />
Drive to the road conditions, weather,<br />
your vehicle and yourself. Wear<br />
comfortable clothing and appropriate<br />
footwear. When towing, prevent<br />
overloading and place heavy objects<br />
evenly over all of the axles. Check towing<br />
attachments and the safety chain, ensuring<br />
the couplings are connected, and trailer<br />
lights and brakes are working correctly.<br />
Remember, the speed limit with a trailer<br />
is 90 km, so use your rearview mirror and<br />
pull over to avoid holding up traffic.<br />
6 Tips to avoid “Are we there yet?”<br />
1. Travel scavenger - have a list of things to<br />
look for, take photos of or collect<br />
2. Oven tray magnet board with magnets to<br />
create pictures and designs.<br />
3. Car colour bingo- watch the colour of<br />
oncoming cars and record on a pre-made<br />
bingo sheet<br />
4. Activity kit with stickers, colouring<br />
pencils, paper, puzzle book, and cards<br />
5. An audiobook with headphones<br />
6. A tablet to watch movies or shows<br />

diet made from a proportioned selection of raw meats, organs,<br />
bone and cartilage. Another bonus is that there is no reason cats<br />

Laying pavers is easy<br />
PAVING PART of your garden will<br />
create an extra “room” for your<br />
barbecue, a couple of sun loungers,<br />
or a table and chairs.<br />
Work out where you want the<br />
paving stones. An area with a bit<br />
of slope is good for drainage, but<br />
make sure it does not slope towards<br />
the house.<br />
Measure the area, in square metres,<br />
so you can calculate how many<br />
pavers you will need. Allow five per<br />
cent more for those you will have to<br />
cut to fit odd spots.<br />
Dig the area and level it. Don’t<br />
recess it too much as the paving<br />
stones should be above the ground<br />
to stop water pooling. About 10<br />
or 12cm is the right depth for foot<br />
traffic.<br />
Build a thick base of gravel or<br />
stone chip by putting one thin layer<br />
over another compacting each time<br />
with a large rubber hammer.<br />
Put in edging restraints (buy<br />
concrete edging from hardware<br />
stores) to hold up a free edge of<br />
stones.<br />
Put down about 3cm of sand<br />
on the top of your base layer of<br />
gravel.<br />
Lay the paving stones in the sand<br />
and use the hammer to settle them.<br />
Wear earmuffs and safety glasses.<br />
Sweep sand over the paved area to<br />
fill in gaps.<br />

GARDENING 31<br />
Don’t battle the<br />
elements, plant in pots<br />
Wednesday <strong>November</strong> <strong>24</strong> <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
GARDENING IN pots is a<br />
spectacularly rewarding and low<br />
labour hobby.<br />
Instead of battling the elements,<br />
treating tired old soil, weeding<br />
and digging frantically, you<br />
simply tip the prepared perfect<br />
potting mix into the container,<br />
follow it up with the plants, water<br />
and wait.<br />
It’s hard to go wrong. You just<br />
move the pot around until you’ve<br />
found the perfect sunny or shady<br />
spot, without disturbing the root<br />
system, because a container garden<br />
is portable.<br />
You can move it about your<br />
home, patio or garden to fill bare<br />
spots at any time of year.<br />
And best of all, when you move<br />
house, you don’t have to leave<br />
your cherished garden behind –<br />
they all shift with the furniture.<br />
Furthermore, container gardens<br />
look great anywhere – as hanging<br />
baskets on terraces and pergolas,<br />
half round containers spilling<br />
colour down a wall or fence, or<br />
simply sitting on paved areas,<br />
decks and steps.<br />
For best effect, plan your<br />
planter by height as well as colour.<br />
You can mix annuals with a<br />
central perennial until the peren-<br />
MINIATURE: Gardens can<br />
be grown in containers and<br />
pots.<br />
nial gets well established, and in<br />
the meantime, enjoy a miniature<br />
garden rather than a miniature<br />
plant surrounded by bare earth.<br />
You can dispense with the annuals<br />
when the perennial takes<br />
over.<br />
Container gardeners can pretty<br />
much give up weeding altogether.<br />
But you don’t need to do a bit of<br />
soil maintenance from time to<br />
time, because the plants aren’t<br />
in a self renewing environment<br />
– they’re relying on you to give<br />
them nutrition and moisture.<br />

Brand new with reserve outlook<br />
Quality and attention to detail are hallmarks of this company’s<br />
builds and this home is no exception.<br />
The 190sqm floor plan is designed to offer generously<br />
proportioned rooms throughout with features you will love. The<br />
open plan living room has a designated dining area with tiling<br />
to define the space. The smart, white kitchen has a contrasting<br />
black granite bench top, a plumbed double fridge space, a<br />
90cm oven with gas hobs and a walk-in pantry. You will also<br />
appreciate the easy indoor/outdoor flow from the kitchen to<br />
the large Kwila deck, accessed through stacker sliders and here,<br />
you can enjoy an open aspect to the reserve that borders the<br />
section. Connect to the Bluetooth speakers and listen to your<br />
favourite music whilst you cook in style or sit out on the deck.<br />
A formal lounge provides that much sought-after second living<br />
space, allowing the family to spread out. The primary bedroom<br />
has a luxurious ensuite with a wall-to-wall tiled shower and<br />
under-tile heating, and there is a wardrobe system in the walkin<br />
robe. The two further double bedrooms are serviced by an<br />
equally plush family bathroom with a freestanding bath. The<br />
home also benefits from gas hot water, great hallway storage,<br />

Check building covenants<br />
before you purchase<br />
Developers have a vision for their<br />
subdivisions, which include the size, style<br />
and landscaping of individual homes.<br />
Such requirements will be written up in<br />
a separate building covenant document.<br />
As these address what might be built and<br />
how a property can be used, it is important<br />
to check these out before signing up for a<br />
piece of land.<br />
Covenants are conditions relating to<br />
land ownership and use. Given they are<br />
legally binding documents, you should<br />
familiarise yourself with what is required<br />
in terms of the home you will build and<br />
also future living. Your solicitor should<br />
also check this document.<br />
Building covenants usually require<br />
building work to be carried out in a safe<br />
and tidy manner, and in line with Council<br />
building consent standards. They will<br />
also stipulate that care is to be taken<br />
during building to ensure that public<br />
spaces, infrastructure and facilities near<br />
the site are not damaged. The impact of<br />
construction on others living in the estate<br />
will also likely be addressed.<br />
In relation to the home to be built,<br />
building covenants may address:<br />
• the design and size of the home,<br />
positioning on the section and whether<br />
more than one storey is permitted;<br />
• building height as well as roof pitch;<br />
• whether any outbuildings are permissible<br />
along with their siting;<br />
• landscaping where viewed from the<br />
street;<br />
• location and style of driveways and paths<br />
within street view; and<br />
• fencing – boundary and within the<br />
property (including distance from the<br />
front of the section).<br />
Your house design (including colours,<br />
roof style and cladding types) along with<br />
a landscaping plan, should be submitted<br />
to your developer for approval before<br />
building commences. It is a good idea to<br />
do this before submitting plans to Council,<br />
just in case changes may need to be made.<br />
Covenants extend beyond the building<br />
period, having validity after the ownership<br />
of and responsibility for the subdivision<br />
passes to the local Council. It is therefore<br />
worth considering whether your lifestyle<br />
will be impacted on, by the rules of the<br />
area you are looking to live in.<br />
While most covenants are reasonable<br />
and logical, some are more specific.<br />
Architecturally designed homes and only<br />
some exterior cladding types may be<br />
required. Often caravans, motorhomes<br />
or trucks are not to be parked in view of<br />
the street. There have also been cases in<br />
certain developments where no vehicles<br />
are to be parked on the street.<br />
To ensure covenants are adhered to<br />
during the building and landscaping<br />
process, developers request a bond.<br />
This may be around the $2,000 mark,<br />
something to be budgeted for. Once<br />
developer’s approval and sign-off is<br />
achieved, the money will be refunded,<br />
unless there is damage to the footpath,<br />
vehicle crossing, curbing or some other<br />
aspect of public land, which has not been<br />
remediated. In such a case, the bond<br />
may be forfeited to reimburse the cost of<br />
putting this right.<br />
Checking out building covenants before<br />
purchasing land will avoid any surprises<br />
further down the track.<br />
Fencing<br />
styles will be<br />
addressed<br />
within the<br />
covenants.<br />

Outdoor rooms<br />
Just because an outdoor space doesn’t have<br />
walls, that doesn’t change the basic principles<br />
applied to any design project inside your home.<br />
With a few simple fundamentals to guide<br />
you, you’ll soon see how easy it is to create<br />
a beautiful outdoor room you’ll love<br />
entertaining and relaxing in throughout<br />
the warm days and balmy nights of<br />
summer.<br />
Key considerations include style,<br />
function, lighting and mood. Remember<br />
that your outdoor room ought to be<br />
an extension of the look you’ve created<br />
within your home, which reflects your<br />
personality and lifestyle.<br />
Focal point<br />
Beginning, as with any room of the<br />
home, a space must always have a focal<br />
point to anchor the space. For some, this<br />
may be a bar or barbeque area, a large<br />
dining table, or a chill-out zone with<br />
couches or loungers.<br />
Outdoor fireplaces are becoming<br />
more and more popular as our living<br />
areas blend seamlessly between indoor<br />
and outdoor entertaining throughout<br />
the changing of the seasons. They can<br />
serve not only a practical purpose of<br />
somewhere to gather around to warm<br />
as the day turns to dusk and the nights<br />
get shorter, an outdoor fire can make<br />
a stunning feature or room divider for<br />
any outdoor living area. Water features,<br />
like a pond with beautiful koi fish, can<br />
also serve as a great outdoor focal point,<br />
creating tranquil environment in which<br />
to relax and unwind in, or create a<br />
meditative Japanese rock garden which<br />
your outdoor area can overlook.<br />
In the zone<br />
If you already have a large terrace or<br />
outdoor area, a blank canvas is a great<br />
place to start. If you have a particularly<br />
large outdoor area, dividing the space<br />
into zones makes for a more functional<br />
and aesthetically pleasing space. You can<br />
do this by using a number of different<br />
elements, such as contrasting flooring<br />
materials or by creating different levels<br />
of decking. However, if you’re after a<br />
seamless indoor/outdoor flow or wish to<br />
create the illusion of more space, use the<br />
same flooring materials indoors and out.<br />
Divisions can also be made with the<br />
clever positioning of furniture. Use<br />
modular seating to create walls and<br />
separate spaces. Plants are a cost effective<br />
and eco-friendly way to create divisions<br />
between zones, and are also an ideal way<br />
to camouflage ugly walls, create privacy<br />
and soften sharp angles. Living walls, an<br />
ever-increasingly popular vertical plant<br />
system, can be either freestanding to<br />
create different outdoor areas and can<br />
be on wheels to easily transform your<br />
outdoor space at a moment’s notice. Play<br />
with height and scale with various<br />
types of planters, whether you use<br />
hanging planters to draw the eye upwards,<br />
or oversized planter pots to add drama.<br />
Go with the flow<br />
Creating a great indoor/outdoor flow is<br />
easily created by opening up your kitchen<br />
with bifold doors or windows to create a<br />
servery or bar area for easy entertaining.<br />
If you are building your home from the<br />
ground up, you may want to design an<br />
outdoor room which lies at the epicentre<br />
of the building, with rooms opening onto<br />
the communal courtyard with bifold<br />
doors.<br />
Function over form<br />
Consider what you intend to use your<br />
outdoor space for. If you don’t plan on<br />
eating outside, there’s no need for a dining<br />
table, but buy some comfortable outdoor<br />
seating instead. If you only intend on<br />
sitting outdoors during the evening,<br />
then don’t waste money on awnings and<br />
umbrellas, and invest the money in an<br />
outdoor fireplace which you will actually<br />
use.<br />
Atmosphere<br />
Create unique and personalised outdoor<br />
decor with textiles and homewares from<br />
your travels or your favourite antique<br />
shop, or make your own shell garlands or<br />
wreaths from beach holidays. String up<br />
fairy lights or lanterns to create a festive<br />
mood in the evenings.<br />
SELLING YOUR HOME?<br />
Potential buyers are<br />
likely to be living in your<br />
neighbourhood, it’s an<br />
area that they already love<br />
and are actively seeking<br />
to stay in. That’s why it<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Building a home?<br />
Start with a wish list<br />
Building a home is one of the most<br />
exciting and rewarding projects but can<br />
also be stressful with thousands of decisions<br />
to make during the build process.<br />
Step one should be working out what the<br />
priorities are for everyone who is going<br />
to live in the new home and create a wish<br />
list. There are several ways to do this so<br />
everyone feels involved. Start with a list of<br />
every room, including outdoor areas, and<br />
then talk through what the priorities would<br />
be in that area.<br />
If you both want an island or a peninsula<br />
in the kitchen also think about the function<br />
- to add extra work space, provide storage<br />
or a breakfast bar? This will influence the<br />
size and shape and whether you need to<br />
add electrical outlets.<br />
Within your wish lists there will be<br />
items that are not necessarily room-based<br />
but part of the whole home, for example,<br />
storage, heating, electrical outlets or<br />
lighting.<br />
Is there a way for storage to take up less<br />
space and make it more accessible? Options<br />
include a walk-in linen closet, walk in<br />
wardrobes, a full height broom cupboard in<br />
the laundry, window seats, built-in shelving<br />
or entertainment area, pull-out pantry, shoe<br />
racks, drawers or shelves in the bedroom<br />
wardrobes.<br />
The type of heating can depend on the<br />
direction that your new house will face<br />
in terms of how much<br />
sun it gets. Are heated floors a priority, or<br />
ducted heating rather than a fire or heat<br />
pumps?<br />
The number and location of the electrical<br />
outlets is also something to think about<br />
before your build. Gone are the days when<br />
one plug is each room was enough. While<br />
increasing the number of electrical outlets<br />
may seem like a small thing, but will add<br />
flexibility when you start placing your<br />
furniture around your home.<br />
Lighting is another essential thing to<br />
discuss before the build. A skylight at the<br />
front entrance can add both natural light<br />
and drama. A skylight in the bedroom<br />
means you can look up at the stars. All can<br />
add a huge impact to the way you live.<br />
Don’t forget the outdoor area. You might<br />
want space for a trampoline or play area<br />
or prefer an outdoor kitchen or dining<br />
area. Think about providing<br />
shelter from the sun or wind<br />
and what your priorities<br />
would be – a bar, pizza oven,<br />
fire, television, dining table or<br />
another seating area?<br />
Part of the fun and<br />
excitement of building your<br />
home is being able to translate<br />
your ideas and dreams into<br />
reality. A little time now will<br />
make sure that your home will<br />
work for you and your family.<br />
