Cycle lanes 

could come 

sooner 

than 

planned 

• By Susan Sandys 

CYCLE LANES will replace 

parallel parking on Lincoln’s main 

street sooner than anticipated if 

a district council application for 

funding is successful. 

The district council has completed 

an expression of interest for 

funding from Waka Kotahi NZ 

Transport Agency’s Streets for People 

initiative, to upgrade Gerald St 

between Kildare Tce and West Belt. 

It is for safety and intersection 

improvements, as well as the installation 

of cycle lanes along both 

sides, replacing on-street parking, 

which would shift to off-street 

parking precincts on West Belt and 

the side streets of Lyttelton and 

Maurice Sts. The angle parking 

area on the south side of Gerald St 

would be retained.

council has purchased land in nearby streets to compensate for the losses.

for parts 

of district 

HOUSING IN Rolleston, Lincoln 

and Prebbleton may soon get 

more intensive. 

New building intensification 

rules recently introduced by the 

Government require many councils, 

including Selwyn, to prepare 

and notify a variation to district 

plans. 

It will then open the way for 

medium density and intensification 

in some residential zones, 

allowing for blocks of apartments 

and units. 

Said district council planning 

manager Ben Rhodes: “Over the 

coming months the council will 

consider what exact changes are 

needed.” 

The variation will cover the 

introduction of a new medium 

density residential zone that will 

be applied to relevant residential 

zones in Rolleston, Lincoln and 

Prebbleton, and ·additional land 

for residential development in 

Rolleston, including certain 

private plan change requests that 

are currently being processed by 

the district council.

THE LOOK of housing in 

the district is about to take 

another step forward or 

backwards, depending what 

your viewpoint is. 

On page 1, we report 

on how the Government’s 

intensification rules will 

impact on Selwyn and when 

it is likely to happen. 

There is likely to be a 

more apartment and unit 

look in Rolleston, Lincoln 

and Prebbleton – similar 

to what has happened in 

Wigram and other parts of 

Christchurch. 

It is all aimed at stopping

Fears hospitals will close permanently 


ELLESMERE and Darfield 

communities fear for the future 

of their local hospitals as Covid 

staff shortages force them to 

temporarily close. 

The Canterbury District 

Health Board is moving 23 

residents from the facilities of 

Ellesmere, Darfield, Waikari and 

Oxford hospitals to alternative 

private facilities. 

Among them is Geraldine 

Mullions, 93, who was transported 

by ambulance from Darfield 

Hospital to a Christchurch rest 

home on Friday. 

Her brother Roger Dennis said 

Geraldine was having to leave a 

facility with which she had had 

a long family association, which 

began when she was one of the 

first babies ever to be born there. 

He also lived in Darfield. 

He said her new location of 

Christchurch would make it 

more difficult for him and other 

family members to visit her. She 

had moved to Darfield Hospital, 

which has eight beds, about 18 

months ago. 

“We were absolutely thrilled 

she could get a bed there, because 

of its accessibility,” Dennis 

said. 

However, he was philosophical 

about the move, and confident 

Geraldine would be able to 

return. 

“I think no move is easy. I 

understand what they (CDHB) 

are doing, for the benefit of the 

patients,” Dennis said. 

“All messages I have received 

from the nurse manager is that 

Geraldine’s room is being kept 

available for her and will be 

ready for her to return to.” 

However, some have voiced 

concern that the temporary closure 

could turn into a permanent 

one. 

Friends of Ellesmere Hospital 

chairwoman Robyn Casey said 

the group’s thoughts were first 

and foremost with the patients. 

The hospital is based in Leeston 

and has 10 beds; it specialises in 

healthcare for older people. 

Casey said the hospital was a 

much loved and appreciated facility. 

The temporary closure had 

triggered a fear in community 

members it would not re-open. 

“We have to build a relationship 

with the DHB and trust that 

this is temporary,” Casey said. 

District councillor Murray 

Lemon said such fears were understandable, 

considering there 

had been reviews over the years 

on the hospital’s future. This 

was not helped by upcoming 

health system changes including 

the disestablishment of district 

health boards. 

Mayor Sam Broughton said 

he was aware of community 

concern and had been in contact 

with CDHB chairman Sir John 

CLOSURE 

FEARS: 

Patients have 

been moved 

from Darfield 

Hospital due 

to Covidrelated 

staff 

shortages. 

Hansen. 

Broughton had urged Hansen 

and fellow board members to 

reopen the hospitals as soon as it 

was safe to do so. 

“He assured me that this 

closure was definitely temporary 

and they would reopen the facilities 

once staffing levels allow 

following the peak of Omicron,” 

Broughton said. 

Health board staff were working 

closely with families and 

next of kin of each current hospital 

resident to identify suitable 

alternative facilities. 

“This will ensure they are in 

a safe place that can offer them 

the staff, resources and care they 

need over the coming weeks.” 

Covid-19 ECC incident controller 

for the Canterbury health 

system’s Omicron response, 

Tracey Maisey, announced the 

temporary closures last week. 

Maisey 

said the ability 

to staff the 

facilities was 

under threat 

as resources 

became strained 

during the peak 

of the Omicron 

outbreak. 

Tracey 

Maisey 

“One of our main concerns 

was that during the outbreak we 

will not be able to sustain safe 

staffing levels with appropriately 

trained staff in these facilities, 

and this was a major risk that 

could have had a serious adverse 

impact on our residents,” Maisey 

said. 

“We are therefore moving with 

urgency to assess each patient 

and connect with residents’ 

families or next of kin to decide 

on a suitable alternative facility 

for each resident. We take our 

responsibility for their care very 

seriously and will do everything 

we can to ensure their safety and 

wellbeing,” she said. 

“The move to their new home 

will be temporary. Residents 

should be back in these hospital 

facilities within six weeks of the 

Omicron outbreak’s peak.”

• From page 1 

There is a plan for a 30km/h 

slow speed zone on the street. 

District council spokesman 

Andrew Mazey said Waka Kotahi 

had prompted the district 

council to try again with submitting 

the application, after the 

roading authority turned down 

the local body’s earlier requests. 

“Council staff have worked 

hard with Waka Kotahi to reach 

this point,” Mazey said. 

Mazey said the upgrade was 

part of the Lincoln Town Centre 

Plan, which was adopted by the 

district council in 2016. In longterm 

planning, it was scheduled 

to begin 2027. 

The Waka Kotahi funding 

would allow the project, estimated 

to cost $6 million, to begin in 

the 2022/23 financial year.Waka 

Kotahi will now consider the 

application alongside others from 

around the country. Successful 

applicants will 

be announced in 

July. 

Many Lincoln 

businesses 

will welcome a 

reduced speed 

limit, although 

Jason Wills 

some have concerns about cycle 

lanes replacing parallel parking. 

Harcourts Lincoln manager 

Jason Wills believed a lower 

speed limit than the current 

50km/h was required, but he was 

concerned the loss of parallel 

parking would make the very 

busy road more dangerous for 

pedestrians. While cycle lanes 

would be well-used by the many 

children cycling to and from 

school, it could force more people 

to attempt crossing the road as 

they walked from their cars to 

the shops. 

Wills said in addition, Lincoln 


Pedestrian safety brought into question 

BUSY: Car parking on Gerald St (above) and nearby Robert St are often full. The Lyttelton St 

section (below) was purchased by the district council for future car parking. 

PHOTOS: BARRY CLARKE 

was a rural town, with wide 

combine harvesters and other 

machinery passing through daily. 

These would overlap the cycle 

lanes, making them redundant. 

Lincoln Post, Gifts and Stationery 

owner Hiren Amin also 

wanted to see a reduced speed 

limit, as it would make the road 

safer for cyclists, motorists and 

pedestrians. This would be even 

more crucial once cycle lanes 

were installed, as motorists 

would be focusing 

on giving 

way to cyclists 

using the lanes. 

The district 

council says 

Hiren Amin 

because of the 

nature of Gerald 

St, the only way 

cycle lanes can be installed is 

through the removal of the parallel 

parking. 

However there would be no 

loss of car parks, as the angular 

parking would remain and 

the parallel parking would be 

replaced through additional offstreet 

parking areas. The district 

council purchased areas for this 

parking ready to be developed 

with the upgrade and wider town 

centre plan.

Spokes Canterbury cycling 

advocacy group chairman, Don 

Babe, hoped the application 

would be successful. 

“If this work will do something 

to bring forward some of the 

work then it will be a good outcome,” 

Babe said. 

“Obviously as cycling advocates 

we are keen to see any 

infrastructure that makes cycling 

safer and more pleasant.” 

Lincoln cyclist Mike Bowie 

said cycle lanes were urgently 

required along Gerald St. 

“The worst places are where the 

cars are allowed to park because 

you have to come out further into 

the traffic,” Bowie said. 

He was knocked off his bike 

further along the road on his 

way to Lincoln University last 

year, one of more than 10 minor 

injury crashes involving bicycles 

on Gerald St since the early 2000s. 

He said such safety 

improvements were 

particularly required in Lincoln 

and the wider Selwyn area, 

due to its excessive growth in 

population and traffic flows.

SOME Springfield residents are 

using a district council-supplied 

portable shower as their water 

situation remains stagnant. 

A precautionary boil water 

notice remained in place as of 

Friday, after being introduced 

one month earlier on February 5. 

District council group manager 

infrastructure Murray 

Washington said the notice 

remained in place due to discolouration 

of the water, and the 

portable four-shower unit had 

been installed for people to use 

due to this. 

“The water supply is safe to 

shower in, however, the unit 

with four showers is there to 

provide an option for people 

to have a shower in water 

without the discolouration,” 

Washington said. 

“The water is not yet 

clear enough yet for the 

UV treatment to be able 

to guarantee effective 

treatment at the levels 

required.” 

Resident Amy Albon 

welcomed the shower 

block, which had been 

installed alongside a 

washing machine. 

“I’m pleased, we all have a 

chance to be cleaned in fresh 

clear water,” Albon said. 

She earlier spoke to the 

Selwyn Times about avoiding 

using her bath to wash her fouryear-old 

son, fearing the murky 

water would worsen a skin 

infection. 

“I don’t have clean water to 

fill up a bath and wash 

him in or anything 

like that because the 

water looks dirtier 

than what he is,” Albon 

said. 

It is the longest 

running and fourth 

boil water notice since 

last year’s May floods. 

Residents are already 

relying on a potable water 

tanker outside the community 

hall installed by the council for 

drinking water.

been caused by high levels of 

sediment in the supply source 

of the Kowai River, stirred up 

by rain events since the floods, 

potentially as a result of upstream 

landslips. 

The district council has multiple 

projects under way to improve 

the supply and has been 

actively investigating alternate 

water sources. 

The district council had 

begun construction of a new 

500m3 treated water reservoir 

and two new 30m3 raw-water 

storage tanks, altogether costing 

$780,000, due to be completed 

by June. 

In addition, $2 million to 

$4 million of capital works 

could go ahead for a new 

membrane plant, offering 

better filtration than the 

existing filter system, pending 

results of a trial that was under 

way.

Foster Park likely 

to be ready for 

winter sports 


THE DISTRICT council’s $4.21 

million hockey and football turf and 

associated $1.27 million car park 

at Foster Park are on schedule for 

completion by the winter sports season. 

Group manager property Douglas 

Marshall reported to district councillors 

at their last meeting installation 

of the two new artificial fields 

was progressing well. Earthworks 

were largely completed, most service 

installation was completed, and 

fencing was under way. They were 

scheduled for completion in May. 

The eastern car park project involved 

permanently sealing a gravel 

area, providing about 215 car parks 

for Foster Park. It was scheduled for 

completion next month. 

Development project manager Phil 

Millar said the car park upgrade 

involved a complete overhaul of the 

gravel area, including new footpaths 

and pedestrian access, landscaping 

including additional drainage that is 

required when sealing an area in asphalt, 

as well as lighting and fencing. 

“The upgrade is to cater for all 

users of the car park area including 

pedestrians, busses and minivans 

and allow safe access during 

the day and in the evening. The cost 

for all these works is consistent with 

other car parks that the council has 

built recently,” Millar said.

THE GLOBAL little library 

movement has taken off in 

Kirwee, thanks to Laura Vis. 

The avid bookworm built 

and painted a cupboard, using 

plywood and sample pots of 

paint, and attached it to her front 

fence. 

Residents have responded en 

masse, following the evocative 

message on the side: “Take a 

book, leave a book, keep one or 

return one.” 

Vis said she had always wanted 

a pretty mail box, but Kirwee 

didn’t have mail boxes. The 

village is serviced by post office 

boxes at the local garage. 

So she decided to make the 

cupboard instead, with the idea 

of it being a little library. 

“It’s the first thing I have 

ever built all by myself, it’s a bit 

wonky for that reason. It’s not 

fallen off the fence yet, so that’s 

the main thing,” Vis said. 

She had been impressed at the 

global Little Free Library’s mission 

of exchanging books and 

bringing people together, and 

thought it would be good to have 

one in Kirwee where there is no 

public library. She had also been 

inspired by the success of a little 

library in an old fridge in nearby 

Darfield, established some years 

ago. 

Vis said reading had been a 

connecting and sharing force in 

her own family. 

About three years ago she was 

temporarily homeschooling her 

daughter Sofia, with a mostly 

literature-based curriculum. 

“We read and read, I just love 

books, I like sharing what books 

we like.” 

Vis opened her Kirwee Community 

Little Library one year 

ago, and hundreds of books have 

come and gone from its shelves 

since. 

It has become so popular she 

has had to build another cupboard 

underneath for children’s 

books. Last month she asked 

people to limit their donations

of adult books to just two, as so 

many books were coming in. 

“It’s quite private where it is, 

I can’t see how many people 

are using it. But judging by the 

books that turn up in there, 

I think we are at least getting 

three to four users a day, which is 

pretty amazing for a small community,” 

Vis said. 

“It’s like Christmas looking 

for new books and seeing what 

people have put in, it’s really 

exciting.” 

Her favourite book of recent 

times is Gone Girl by Gillian 

Flynn, while her favourite book 

of all time is The Boy In the 

Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. 


The new building intensification 

rules also requires councils 

to vary private plan changes that 

were notified prior to the new 

legislation coming into effect in 

December. 

“This means we must notify 

the variations to relevant private 

plan changes at the same time we 

notify our own variation to the 

proposed District Plan,” Rhodes 

said. 

“Given the current situation 

our council finds itself in, with a 

number of private plan changes 

at different stages of the process, 

this creates logistical and 

procedural issues that the new 

legislation itself is not clear on 

addressing.” 

Based on legal advice and information 

available to date, each 

private plan change request will 

be affected differently depending 

on what stage in the process they 

are, where they are located, and 

what they are seeking, he said. 

Once a draft of the variation is 

developed, it will go to the district 

council for approval and then be 

notified for public consultation. 

Public consultation will begin by

notified at the end of 2020 and 

was expected to become operative 

at the end of 2022. With the 

variation it is now expected that 

the proposed District Plan will 

become operative in early 2024. 

Rhodes said no appeals will 

be possible on decisions in 

relation to matters covered by 

the variation. Its follows the new 

legislation that introduces a new 

planning process which tier 1 

councils, must use to implement 

intensification policies more 

quickly.

MOVES ARE afoot to have 

the historic Hororata Hall 

transferred back to community 

ownership. 

At their last meeting, district 

councillors agreed “in principle” 

to support a proposal by Go 

Hororata to establish a community 

centre by upgrading the 

hall and retaining its cultural 

heritage. 

The proposal would see the 

district council transfer the 1896 

building back into community 

ownership. 

The decision follows discussions 

between Go Hororata, a 

collective of community groups, 

and the district council on establishing 

a community centre in 

the village. 

Go Hororata members were 

still seeking clarification on the 

decision when Selwyn Times 

contacted them last week. 

Chairman Craig Blackburn 

did not want to comment, but 

referred to a statement sent to 

media on behalf of the group: 

“Go Hororata is seeking further 

clarification from the district 

council as its decision was not 

clear and significant uncertainty 

remains. 

“Go Hororata continues to 

hope for a positive outcome for 

our community and the Selwyn 

district.” 

The district council will 

also consider supporting the 

project with $1m of funding 

that had initially been proposed 

for the building of the new 

community centre. This will be 

subject to a business case, and 

put to the wider community 

for consultation as part of the 


Historic Hororata Hall likely 

to go back to community 

HISTORIC: The Hororata Hall 

was built in 1896. Today it 

is destined to house the 

village’s museum. 

2022/23 Annual Plan. 

Last year, Go Hororata members 

were disappointed with a 

scaled-down $3 million community 

centre proposal, which 

the district council included in 

its Long Term Plan. 

Go Hororata’s members 

include the Historical Society, 

which has been undertaking a 

feasibility study on using the hall 

to house its museum. 

Cat’s death accidental 


THE MYSTERY around the 

death of a much-loved cat from 

Darfield has been solved. 

His family had suspected 

the pedigree ragdoll had been 

brutally killed when they found 

him outside their home in 

January, as one of his injuries 

appeared as a cut from his throat 

to his stomach. 

However, a police spokesperson 

told Selwyn Times a truck 

driver had since come forward 

to confirm they hit the pedigree 

ragdoll and moved it off the road. 

“The driver described the 

injuries and there is nothing to 

suggest that their statement is not 

accurate. 

“Our sympathies go to the 

family who have lost their pet 

but fortunately this is an isolated 

incident and not related to any 

malicious behaviour.” 

Lincoln Rotary has been active over the last few weeks, 

donating produce from their Lincoln Community 

Gardens vegetable plot to Lincoln Community Care, and 

to food banks in Christchurch and Ellesmere. The club 

also collected non-perishable foods from its members 

for the food banks. A spokesperson said more people 

in the community are in need of support because 

of the high cost of food, rent, electricity and supply 

chain issues.

Autumn Gardening! 

Protect your home and garden 

this autumn. As temperatures 

drop pests like rats, mice, ants 

and flies move indoors for 

warmth, food or hibernation. 

Slugs and snails or frost can 

create problems outside. 

There are a MEGA range 

of bulb varieties, autumn 

is the perfect time to plant 

for spring flowering. Bulbs 

stay dormant through colder 

weather until they are ready 

to bloom in spring. 

Autumn is a great time to 

give your lawn some T.L.C. 

This includes weed killing, 

fertilizing, fungus control, 

dethatching or re-sowing. 

Hedging is a great way to 

enhance your garden and 

add privacy. Autumn is 

an ideal time to plant and 

establish hedging, and also 

prune preexisting hedges.

OUR PEOPLE – ED STOTT 

Long-term actor and family are 

Musical theatre is 

a family affair for 

Rolleston school 

teacher Ed Stott. The 

47-year-old talks to 

Susan Sandys after 

becoming chairman of 

the Kirwee Players 

How long have you been 

involved in musical theatre 

with the Kirwee Players? 

I’ve been with Kirwee Players 

ever since I can remember. Both 

my parents David and Isabell, 

have been involved – my father 

since it first started (first show, 

Showboat, 1977), mum was 

having children at the time, 

but she’s been heavily involved 

since. Me and my three brothers 

have all been in various shows. 

My first show was The King 

and I (1988); I was 12. I played 

Louis who was the son of the 

governess, my older brother 

played Prince Chulalongkorn. 

I would have been in nearly 20 

shows since then. 

What has been your biggest 

ever role? 

Fagan, in Oliver (2016). I 

understudied for a fellow who 

ended up having to pull out due 

to ill health, so I ended up taking 

over that role for him. I’ve had 

various parts, in The Sound of 

Music (1993) I was Rolfe, in The 

PHOTO: STAR MEDIA 

JOURNEY: Kirwee Players chairman Ed Stott has been a regular performer on stage at the Kirwee Community Hall. 

In 1992 he sang to his mother Isabell in Kiss Me Kate. For The Full Monty, Stott (far right) starred alongside (from left) 

Jeremy Tocker, Alex Mohi, Brock Hatton, Rob Kellock and Andy McLeod. 

Full Monty (2017) I was one of 

the dancers. 

Was it scary or embarrassing 

taking your clothes in The Full 

Monty? 

No, I don’t do embarrassing! 

It’s not something that has ever 

bothered me. 

Why not? 

It wasn’t the first time I 

had done it. I joined MUSOC 

(University of Canterbury 

Musical Theatre Society) when I 

left school, and I did a few shows 

there, including The Best Little 

Whorehouse in Texas, which had 

the odd naked cameo. 

So you get used to it? 

Yes, you just sort of get over 

things and it stops being a big 

deal. For The Full Monty, it 

was very amusing, the cast we 

had around us, they were good 

fellows, good fun to do it with.

OUR PEOPLE 11 

making sure the show goes on 

The Kirwee Players launched 

you on a lifelong musical 

theatre journey? 

Through Kirwee Players, I 

got involved with MUSOC, 

and through MUSOC, I got 

involved with Showbiz. I did a 

couple of shows with them, just 

back stage. I have crewed, I have 

worked as technical and I have 

done front of house. Pretty much 

everything. 

What do you like about 

musical theatre? 

It’s just fun, and the people 

that you do it with are a special 

kind of a group of people; they 

are all a little bit crazy. It’s all 

about people. Some have been 

doing it for years, they have 

amazing stories. Then you get 

all the young people. They are 

all enthusiasm, they have big 

dreams and amazing talent. 

Some people have gone on to do 

bigger and brighter things. 

Have you been on stage 

recently? 

Yes, I was on stage last year, we 

did West Side Story. I was Chino, 

one of the Sharks. It was quite a 

dark role, I was the one killing at 

the end, it was a very emotional 

show. 

What’s it like to play a villian? 

It takes focus, you’ve got 

to be believing it when you 

are walking out there. I was 

standing in the middle of the 

entire audience and shooting this 

fellow. You have to pretend like 

you want to take him out. I had 

a great time being involved in 

the fight scenes between the two 

gangs. It was a lot of chucking 

each other around the stage. I 

got to work with a good friend 

of mine (Andy McLeod). He was 

also in The Full Monty with me. 

Once you get naked on stage 

with someone you are friends for 

life. 

“IT’S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE”: Stott’s son Toby 

starred alongside Andy McLeod in The Full 

Monty. In The Sound of Music, Stott played a 

romantic Rolfe. 

That sounds very memorable 

It was a big contrast to one 

of my earlier shows, The Sound 

of Music, playing the German 

boy trying to steal away the von 

Trapp girl. That was a love scene. 

The girl was a couple of years 

younger than me, she was 16, 

who I had to pretend I was madly 

in love with. We were just fairly 

recent acquaintances leading up 

to that, but you have to make out 

that you actually have feelings 

for somebody and also not cross 

any boundaries while you are 

doing it. 

Is it awkward kissing on stage? 

I don’t remember it being so. 

It’s a stage kiss, you kind of turn 

your head and people can’t tell if 

you are kissing or not. 

As the new chairman of 

Kirwee Players, do you have any 

goals for the group? 

The main focus with theatre at 

the moment is survival. Covid is 

kicking the arts off as much as it 

can. It makes it really difficult. 

You plan something, then the 

rules will change. You have your 

dates booked, and then all of 

a sudden people can’t go. You 

have to restrict numbers, or you 

can’t have rehearsals. To survive, 

you have to stay relevant. You 

have to keep putting on shows 

that people want to see. You’ve 

also got to be developing your 

own talent. We are really lucky 

this year that we have a brand 

new director for our adult show 

(Singin’ In The Rain), Kelsea 

Nelson-Cummings. She’s one of 

our own, she started off being 

on stage through our junior 

programme and has directed 

shows with the juniors. We 

also have choreographer Laura 

Walker. She started off at Kirwee 

Players, she’s been in Showbiz, 

she’s also been a professional 

dancer overseas, and now come 

back to us. 

Have you had to cancel 

anything with Covid? 

We’ve postponed a couple. 

In 2020, The Lion King was our 

junior show. About two weeks 

away from going on stage, Covid 

kicked in. They put that off for 

about eight months. They got all 

the kids back together, got them 

all back up to speed in about three 

weeks, and put the show on.

NEWS 13 

Musicals break down barriers 


West Side Story was 

meant to be the adult 

show in 2020, but that 

didn’t stage until last year. 

At present we are going 

through auditions for 

Into the Woods, this year’s 

junior show. For Singin’ 

In the Rain, auditions are 

about to start. Now we 

are in red light, it restricts 

audience numbers to 

100, so it makes it more 

financially difficult. The 

number we usually sell out 

at is 150 to 200. 

Does Kirwee Players 

just do the one adult and 

one junior musical theatre 

show each year? 

Last year we introduced 

a play as well. That’s a new 

initiative. This year it is still 

sitting on the backburner, 

because if we can’t do the 

junior show when we want 

to do it, we will have to put 

that back into the slot when 

we would normally it. 

Do you prefer to perform 

in musicals or plays? 

I love the musicals. 

The thing about the 

musicals, you get a lot more 

camaraderie with people 

when you are singing 

together and dancing 

together. That’s the fun bit, 

it breaks down a lot more 

barriers. The other things 

we are grateful for is all 

our musicians, they come 

here on a voluntary basis. 

We tend to go for a live 

orchestra, it’s a lot better 

than the bottled stuff. 

What venue do you use? 

It’s all done at the 

Kirwee Community Hall. 

We have had a very tight 

relationship with the hall 

since its inception. Kirwee 

Players have been a very 

good client for the hall, and 

the hall has also built itself 

around being a venue that 

we can use. They’ve got 

staging and an orchestra 

pit they put in specifically 

for us to use. We also help 

fund it, it’s a two-way 

street. We look after them, 

and they look after us. It 

does mean that people 

turn up to this little place 

in the middle of nowhere, 

and get blown away with 

what amazing facilities we 

have. And we put on an 

amazing show. Every year 

you get people who come 

out here who are surprised. 

They say: ‘I didn’t know 

this place existed,’ or ‘this 

place is impressive.’ There’s 

also a whole entire building 

we have constructed out 

the back through our 

fundraising and profits 

over the years. 

So Kirwee Players has 

made a name for itself? 

We have developed 

ourselves a good strong 

reputation amongst theatre

types. People hear of us 

through other societies 

and think “I want to go 

in that show,” so they will 

come out our way (from 

Christchurch and other 

areas of Canterbury). We 

have no problem getting 

the talent we need to cast 

the tricky roles and to fill 

up our orchestras. We get 

directors who come out to 

direct to try themselves out, 

we have also had people that 

have gone through Showbiz 

work for us as well. 

Kirwee Players has been 

a family affair for you? 

My father was treasurer, 

he’s been on the committee 

at least 30 years. He’s still 

on the committee. Mum 

has been on the committee 

on and off, she is presently 

the wardrobe mistress. My 

brothers kind of left the 

area, but there was a couple 

of shows that had all six 

of us in them at the same 

time. The White Horse Inn 

(1989) was the first one, 

we were all on stage. My 

older brother spent a lot 

of years doing lights, my 

other brothers were on 

stage a few times. My oldest 

boy, Toby, was in The Full 

Monty with me, that was 

probably another one of the 

reasons why that’s one of 

my favourite shows. 

He played the son of the 

lead character. He was 

in Oliver and a couple of 

junior shows as well, he 

loves it, he’s 16 now. My 

other son Jake, 14, he’s just 

a very dedicated audience 

member.

said.

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects and other 

invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new species found in his backyard at 

Lincoln. His column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living 

things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.org/ 

projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section 

IT’S BEEN estimated that over 2000 

native moth species are found in New 

Zealand. 

What is extraordinary is that 92 per 

cent of the species are endemic and 

represent the highest rate of endemism 

in the world. 

Our geographical isolation along 

with our endemic host plants contribute 

to New Zealand being a moth 

hotspot. 

However, our ability to travel the 

world allows hitchhiking species to 

get to New Zealand. 

One such species is the large 

pale clothes moth (Tinea 

pallescentella). Native to Patogonia 

and the Falkland Islands, this moth 

has now been introduced into 

Europe, the United States, Australia 

and New Zealand. 

The moths occur in a variety of 

indoor and outdoor habitats such as 

stables, outhouses, mills, granaries, 

and warehouses. 

The moths have a wingspan of 

12-15mm and are a bland ochre-grey 

in colour with dark patches on the 

forewings. 

The species has several generations 

so can be found throughout the year 

and are attracted to light. 

The larvae feed on keratinous 

animal matter such as hair, wool, fur 

or feathers, in wasp and bird nests, in 

skins and animal carcases.

Variation to the 

proposed district plan 

being prepared 

The Council is preparing changes to its housing intensification rules in the Proposed Selwyn District 

Plan, with public consultation expected in August this year. 

New building intensification rules recently introduced by Government require all Tier 1 Councils - 

including Selwyn - to prepare and notify a variation to their district plans by 20 August 2022. The 

variation must include new rules and policies that enable medium density and intensification in 

relevant residential zones, Council’s Planning Manager Ben Rhodes says. 

The variation will cover: 

· the introduction of a new Medium Density Residential Zone that will be applied to relevant residential 

zones in Rolleston, Lincoln and Prebbleton 

· additional land for residential development in Rolleston, including certain private plan change 

requests currently being processed by the Council. 

The government rules require councils to vary private plan changes that were notified before the 

new legislation come into effect (20 December 2021). These will be notified at the same time as the 

variation to the proposed plan, Mr Rhodes says. 

Based on legal advice and information available to date, each private plan change request will be 

affected differently. 

Once a draft of the variation is developed, it will go to the Council for approval and then be notified for 

public consultation. Public consultation will begin by 20 August 2022 at the latest. 

“To enable the variation process to be completed, including the new hearings, there will be a delay on 

when the Proposed Plan becomes operative, as well as the affected private plan changes”, says Mr 

Rhodes. 

The Proposed District Plan was notified at the end of 2020 and was expected to become operative 

at the end of 2022. With the variation it is now expected that the Proposed District Plan will become 

operative in early 2024. 

It’s important to note, no appeals will be possible on decisions relating to matters covered by the 

variation. This follows the new legislation that introduces a new planning process which Tier 1 councils 

must use to implement intensification policies more quickly. 

For more information visit Council website at selwyn.govt.nz/dprvariation. 

Building consents increasing 

A slowdown in applications and hard work from the Council consents team has seen the average number 

of working days to process an application falling. 

At the end of February the average number of working days to process an application was 22 days. 

However, with numbers increasing again and March traditionally seeing high numbers of applications 

the Council is reminding applicants: 

· Expect to see and plan for delays – we are likely to see timeframes extend out again 

· Make sure your application meet our criteria 

· Remember to use the professional partnership programme (PPP) partner if you’re an approved partner. 

The increase in applications will put our consent team under further pressure, so we need your help to 

manage the workload and we will be taking a firmer approach as well. 

Applications not meeting the criteria on our website, or which are for a subdivision that doesn’t have 

s223, will not be accepted. You can find the criteria at Selwyn.govt.nz/building in the information required 

section under ‘applying for approvals’. 

Consents can be fast-tracked for applications under our PPP. This programme is for approved designers 

and agents with applications that meet specific criteria. 

Our PPP has had a slow uptake since we launched in in May 2021 and we are encouraging more 

designers and companies to embrace this fast track option. If you want to find out more visit our website 

on how to become a partner and help get your consents fast-tracked. 

These challenges aren’t unique to us; it’s countrywide. So please be patient and stay in touch. We are 

doing our best to keep up. 

You can contact us if you have major concerns or want to discuss ways that we can work together better. 

Our aim is to achieve good outcomes for everyone and minimise impact on your business. 

Another chance on offer to blaze 

a trail into work 

Another chance to be a trailblazer is on offer with the Council looking 

for more young people to support into work. 

Applications are now open for the fourth round of the Council’s 

Trailblazers internship programme, a collaboration by the Council 

and Youth Pathways, with support from the Ministry of Social 

Development, that is helping people who are unemployed or working 

less than 30 hours a week gain work skills. 

The internship programme aimed at young people aged 18-24 began 

in October and has already seen half of the interns gain jobs. 

Over six weeks, up to 10 interns are able to try out different jobs 

within the Council and gain practical experience in their areas 

of interest. They also receive mentoring and support from Youth 

Pathways coordinators who tailor the course to support members 

in becoming work ready and on areas such as mental and cultural 

wellbeing and learning their strengths. 

Interns try out roles such as Duty Manager, Event Manager, 

Recreation Assistant, Library/Customer Service Assistant and 

Programme Coordinator, and complete an additional 20 hours of 

practical experience in their area of interest. 

One member gained a job during the current intake after being 

supported to apply by mentors on the course and helped with job 

interview techniques and practice questions. 

Applications are open until 30 March for the intake beginning 

16 May. For more information or to apply visit selwyn.govt.nz/ 

trailblazers. 

Leeston Cycle Club racing ahead 

with community funding 

Council support has helped keep the Leeston Cycle Club racing 

ahead. 

The club runs its annual racing season from September to March 

with weekly races every Thursday evening around the Leeston area. 

New road rules introduced by Waka Kotahi in 2021 to improve safety 

meant the club was facing a hefty bill of over $3000 to provide the 

signage required to race, Club President Mark Booth says. 

The club was able to borrow signage from the Pegasus cycle club 

last year, but that wasn’t a long-term option. 

Fortunately, the Council was able to help with a grant of $3283 from 

the Council’s Selwyn Community Fund helping it buy the signage 

needed to keep the races going. 

“That money for the signs was just beautiful. We couldn’t have asked 

for better.” 

The fund was created to support Selwyn groups and organisations 

that contribute to community wellbeing, aiming to increase 

opportunities for physical activity, participation and community as 

well as drawing people to Selwyn. 

Leeston Cycle club fitted the brief well. Its philosophy of creating a 

family friendly environment to support people into keeping fit and 

active and having has seen membership rise by 50% this year. 

The club’s Thursday evening races include social, youth and 

development rides along with opportunities for the more competitive. 

It also provides opportunities for volunteers and cyclists draws from 

all over including many who cycle from Christchurch to take part in 

the races. 

Having the signs will allow the 

club to continue running the races 

for years to come, Mr Booth says. 

“It helped us immensely. We can 

use them every year, so we’re 

really appreciative.”

Helping the kids buy their first home 

THE AVERAGE asking price in 

all regions across the country has 

reached record heights, making 

it a tough and competitive 

landscape for first home buyers, 

who will now need a deposit of 

$187,000 for the national average 

asking price and a whopping 

$250,00 for the Auckland average 

asking price. 

So, what can you do to 

help your kids finance their 

future? 

How it usually works 

The most common case of 

parents stepping in is where the 

kids have 10 per cent or 15 per 

cent of a deposit saved and Mum 

and Dad are topping that up to 

get them to 20 per cent. 

There are several ways you can 

go about leveraging the equity in 

your own assets to provide the 

shortfall the kids need. 

A good number of young 

savers have been adding more 

to their KiwiSaver fund this 

year, so it’s accrued very well 

and is a great starting point for a 

deposit. 

temporary solution to help them 

get a head start with a foot on the 

property ladder, which is becoming 

increasingly difficult without 

parental help. 

This can be a temporary 

arrangement, with them repaying 

the money when they sell the 

house, ensuring they leave you 

with a decent retirement nest 

egg. 

Put everything in writing 

Document everything you 

agree on to avoid getting in a 

tangle, including what happens to 

the money if your child and their 

partner break up. 

If it is going to be a gift 

of money with no strings 

attached, viewed as an early 

inheritance, then make this clear 

to the child and the rest of the 

family. 

Do you expect the money to 

be repaid? If so, consider having 

the legal document state it 

does not have to be repaid until 

the property is sold – it doesn’t 

bear interest, it comes behind the 

mortgage. 

Know what you’re letting 

yourself in for 

If you are well resourced, you as 

parents can provide a guarantee 

on the whole loan, but this is a 

big step, and unusual, as most of 

you will want your children to be 

responsible for the mortgage. 

Be clear about the responsibility 

you are prepared to shoulder, 

and bear in mind the children 

still have to prove they can service 

the loan, and with increasingly 

stringent lending criteria, without 

a good deposit, securing finance 

could be tricky.

GARDENING 

THE FIRST month of autumn, 

it’s time to start preparing your 

winter vegetable and flower 

garden, plus its bulb planting 

time. 


Autumn is the time to get those 

Vegetable garden 

Many of the ‘classic’ summer 

vegetables are now coming to 

their end. Harvest the last crops 

of aubergines, beans, beetroot, 

courgettes, cucumbers, lettuce, 

radishes, tomatoes, and 

pumpkin. There is still time to 

plant rapid maturing vegetables 

like lettuce, radishes, and dwarf 

beans. 

Begin preparing your winter 

garden by removing any dead 

or infected plants and weeds. 

Don’t leave diseased plants on 

the property or they may reinfect 

your winter crops. 

Break up hard, compacted soil 

and add plenty of fresh compost. 

Towards the end of the month, 

start planting the first winter 

maturing vegetables such as cabbage, 

cauliflower, broccoli, and 

kale. 

Remember to rotate areas of 

your vegetable garden to ensure 

the same vegetables are not 

planted in the same positions 

every year. 

Flowering annuals 

The most robust summer 

flowering annuals such as zinnias 

ADVANCE PREPARATION: Autumn is an excellent month for planting new bulbs, choose a sunny, well-drained spot and 

wait for spring to arrive. It’s time to harvest the last of your summer crops and prepare your winter garden. Strawberry 

plants will now be sending out runners. 

will be in full flower, while others 

may be struggling after the long 

summer. 

Where possible keep plants 

well-watered to extend the 

flowering season, and deadhead 

(remove) old flowers regularly. 

It is still too early to plant winter 

annuals, so prepare the beds 

in the same manner as winter 

vegetable plots. 

Bulbs 

An excellent month for planting 

new bulbs. 

Choose a full-sun position and 

soil that is well-drained. Prepare 

the area thoroughly by breaking 

up the soil and adding fresh 

compost and bulb mix before 

planting the new bulbs. 

Check labels for the correct 

depth of planting. New bulbs 

could include, anemones, crocus, 

daffodils, freesias, hyacinth, iris, 

lachenalias, nerines, ranunculus, 

tulips, and watsonias. Remember 

to add a marker so you remember 

where and what you planted. 

Fruit Trees 

On citrus trees, especially 

mandarins, lemons and oranges, 

young fruit are forming and 

require regular watering to prevent 

fruit fall and encourage the 

development of juicy fruit. 

Mulching significantly helps 

in the retention of water and 

improves the soil. 

Houseplant care 

As plants in the garden struggle 

with exceptionally dry conditions, 

houseplants are within our 

reach and their environment can 

be more easily controlled. 

Fun and exercise 

all year round 

Lagoon Pools import and install quality fibreglass swimming pools. To compliment the pools

GARDENING 25 

It is important to regulate 

the temperature in your home, 

especially those that are locked 

up all day. 

Some houseplants will need to 

be repositioned depending on 

the season, for instance, those 

growing near north-facing windows 

can be exposed to very hot 

daytime temperatures. 

Watering needs to be carefully 

monitored, remembering that 

not all houseplants require the 

same amount of water. Fertiliser 

tabs can be safely applied where 

houseplants are still in active 

growth. 

Strawberries 

Even though strawberries have 

finished fruiting, it is time to 

think about next seasons strawberries. 

Existing plants will be sending 

‘runners’ in all directions, these 

are the future fruiting plants. 

While May is the traditional 

month for planting young strawberry 

plants, cut the runners off 

the ‘mother plants’ now and temporarily 

plant them in the garden 

soil or pots, awaiting permanent 

planting into newly prepared 

strawberry patches or containers 

in May.

growth and tie the current season’s 

strongest canes to support 

wires or structure. These will 

produce next season’s fruit. 

Rose care 

With many rose varieties, 

March and April provide what 

can be termed as the ‘second 

flush of flowers.’ Where roses 

have been cared for over summer, 

many will start flowering 

profusely again at this time of the 

year. 

As temperatures cool towards 

the end of the month apply a 

light side dressing of rose fertiliser 

to all the roses. 

In the herb garden 

Some herbs will start flowering 

in March, remove the flowers 

to encourage the development of 

‘leafy growth’. 

Stagger planting so you 

can plunder your parsley 

WHO REMEMBERS the days 

when parsley was the go-to 

garnish? 

Mashed potato, white bread 

sandwiches, curried eggs, asparagus 

rolls and more, apparently 

all tasted, and looked better, with 

the addition of parsley. 

Luckily time moved on and, 

thanks to various reality cooking 

shows, we now know there 

are plenty of other ways to create 

visual appeal when presenting a 

meal. 

While parsley’s abilities as 

a garnish may have waned in 

popularity, there’s no denying 

its still a must-have herb for the 

herb garden. 

Both flat-leaf and curly leaf 

parsley are handy in the vege 

garden. Even though some recipes 

specify which parsley to use 

mix and match is a good option. 

Parsley can be grown virtually 

anywhere. 

Pop it in a sunny, well-drained 

spot. Alternatively, grow it in a 

small pot on the windowsill. Or 

try planting this handy herb in a 

hanging basket with something 

like polyanthus or strawberries 

(later in the year for strawberries) 

around the outside. 

The trick with parsley is to eat 

it as its ready and use it before it 

goes to seed. To ensure a steady 

supply, stagger your planting. 

That means every few weeks or 

couple of months plant another 

parsley seedling. 

As one reaches its end the 

other will be ready to plunder. 

Remember, parsley is more than 

just a pretty plant – and don’t 

forget to use the stems too.

Your 

Autumn 

gArden 

guide 

Autumn is a great time to get on top of all your tasks 

before the winter months set in. the daylight hours 

are slowly disappearing, and there is a noticeable 

cooling in the air, but there are still plenty of things 

to keep you busy in the garden. Here are the top 

things to consider through the next few months. 

Lawn Care 

Give your lawn a muchneeded 

boost of nutrients 

with a top-quality lawn 

fertiliser. This is best done on 

an overcast day, or when rain 

is predicted. Set your sprinkler 

after application and give it a 

good soak. New lawns can be 

laid now as well. Keep up the 

irrigation to ensure your seed 

doesn’t dry out. 

Top Sellers 

• Vegepods 

• Veggie Mix 

• Birdies Garden Beds 

• Organic Compost 

• Lawn Fertiliser 

• Bark Mulch 

Winter Veggies 

If you want to grow from 

seed, start these in jiffy pots 

now. Pop them in a mini 

propagator, or somewhere 

warm and sunny inside. They 

will be ready to plant out 

in no time. Be sure to use 

a seed raising mix for the 

seeds, and then use a veggie 

mix to plant the seedlings 

into your chosen area. 

Garden Maintenance 

Autumn prep will involve 

mixing organic compost 

through existing garden 

beds, adding a good layer of 

bark or mulch to keep your 

garden tidy and protect 

your plant’s roots from the 

cooler weather. You still 

have time to prepare new 

beds for planting or get 

yourself a raised garden or

salmon mix is a new product in-store.

popular are the10kg cartons holding 15

Real Pet Foods says, “we sell nearly 300 

cartons a week. They are easily put in 

the freezer, and you can take out what 

you need when you need it.” He added 

that this provides a consistently excellent 

product each time you use it.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Protect your asset with 

regular maintenance 

With your house being your biggest asset, 

why wouldn’t you want to protect it? 

Prevent significant repairs, save 

money and keep your home looking 

great by ensuring your house is wellmaintained 

and safe. Maintenance 

can be done regularly or as needed 

to avoid minor issues from becoming 

major. However, you may need a 

professional for some jobs such as 

gas, plumbing, drainage, and some 

electrical repairs. 

Cleaning gutters and spouting is not 

a well-liked chore but is necessary. 

Gutters and spouting control your 

house’s flow of rainwater, and 

regularly clearing them will prevent 

a roof leak or water from entering 

your home. It’s also a great time to 

check the state of your roof cladding 

and flashings (weatherproof strips) to 

ensure problems are not developing. 

Get blocked and damaged drains fixed 

as soon as you become aware of any 

issues. 

Many homes in Selwyn still use 

a log burner for heating. As the 

chimney carries pollutants and toxic 

gases from your home, your chimney 

should be inspected and cleaned 

annually. Many house insurance 

policies require regular chimney 

cleaning. Check your smoke alarm 

and detectors twice a year when 

daylight savings changes. They could 

save your life and house. 

Mould or water stains could 

indicate plumbing leaks or weathertightness 

problems. Water damage can 

lead to mould growth, especially if 

the problem is not fixed immediately. 

Any delays in repairs can be costly 

and lead to rot and structural issues. 

Prevent small problems from turning 

into big problems. Check areas around 

sinks, toilets, showers, cabinets, 

skirtings and water cylinders for leaks. 

Mould can contribute to a range of 

health problems. Make sure you take 

necessary health and safety measures, 

especially if there are signs of black 

mould. In houses built or renovated 

since the early 1990s, mould, water 

stains and excessive moisture can also 

indicate that your home is a leaky 

building, requiring extensive repairs 

and investigation by professionals. 

Check your roof space for mice 

and other animals as they can chew 

through wiring and cause fires. 

Blackening around sockets and power 

points can indicate a wiring problem, 

so get this checked as soon as possible. 

Investigate any unusual noises when 

you plug in appliances, examine 

appliances’ cords, ensure they are safe, 

and regularly clean filters in dryers 

and washing machines. Before digging 

or garden maintenance, be aware of 

cables buried beneath the ground or 

located overhead. 

Keep yourself safe, as well as your 

biggest asset, by undertaking a few 

essential maintenance tasks or getting 

in a professional when needed and 

avoiding costly and significant repairs.

I have sold many houses over the years but I can 

honesty say that Paul rates as one of the best 

agents in the field. He was dedicated and secured 

a favorable outcome in difficult circumstances. 

Garry Robinson - Kirwee 

We were tempted to sell privately as we felt we 

had a unique property and thought it would sell 

easily and quickly but decided to go with Paul 

from RE/MAX instead. It was an excellent decision 

! Paul brings a rare calibre to selling houses, he 

got us top dollar and shot the Bullseye. 

If you are thinking of appointing 

someone else…DON’T! 

Andrew & Janine Holt 

Put simply, Paul and his team 

operate at a higher level of 

professionalism, care and respect. 

Paul brings an honesty to real 

estate dealings you don’t always 

see these days. Thanks for your hard 

work to make our sale, purchase 

and move a smooth process. 

Stuart Kath 

Paul Robinson will listen to you and work hard 

for you. He is an absolute professional and 

I would use him again, but that is unlikely, 

because he found me my forever home. 

Terry Appleton 

The ONLY local 

agent that can 

PROTECT 

AND SELL 

your house. 

That’s what I mean when I say everything I like about 

you mate. Even after the deal is done, money’s paid, and 

especially the sold sticker is on you are still there helping 

out your clients. And we feel a little bit special being your 

clients. Thanks again.
