Average house value breaks
through million dollar mark
• By Susan Sandys
AVERAGE HOUSE values in
the district have climbed over
$1 million, out-performing
Christchurch and every other
district in Canterbury.
While the housing market has
shifted down a gear nationwide,
latest figures reported in the One
Roof House Price Report – April
2022 show Selwyn’s average
property value grew 5.6 per cent
($54,000) to $1.018 million in the
first three months of the year.
Authors of the report said
while the Canterbury region’s
housing market had “lost a lot of
its energy,” Selwyn was “clearly
benefiting from heightened newbuild
activity.”
House value index figures in
the report show Selwyn is streets
ahead of Christchurch, which
has the second highest average
value with $788,000, having
risen just 2.6 per cent in the first
quarter of the year.
Selwyn is also well ahead
when it comes to the rate of
growth during the quarter.
Ashburton had the second
highest rise, of 4.9 per cent, to
a value of $601,000. The lowest
was Mackenzie, 0.1 per cent, to
$768,000.

PROPERTY prices continue
to climb upwards (see page
1).
The average house value in
Selwyn is now just over $1
million, latest figures show.
New builds appear to be
driving the upward trend,
and there is plenty of that going
on across the district.
Canterbury prices are still
great value for money in
comparison to other centres
in New Zealand. And in
terms of desirability, Selwyn
has shot to the top of the list
of where people want to live.
As I have said before, this
trend will continue well into
the future as people in places
like Auckland sell up and migrate
south with left over cash
in their pockets – and those
from overseas who want a
much safer place to live.

VACCINE PASSES are no
longer required to access district
council facilities.
The district council scrapped
the pass requirement as of
yesterday for all its facilities,
including its Rolleston head
offices, its libraries, sport
and recreation facilities, and
community
centres.
Chief
executive David
Ward said there
was a “different
Covid-19
environment”
now compared
to when vaccine
David Ward passes were
introduced.
The district council had
taken this into account when
making its decision to scrap
the pass requirement, as well
as Government’s softening of
vaccine pass requirements.
As of midnight on Monday,
vaccine pass mandates were
scrapped for hospitality and
close-proximity businesses, but
some could still use them if they
chose to.
“Following the Government’s
announcement, the council
conducted a review of its
own health and safety risk
assessment, with careful
consideration given to the
Government’s guidance and
public health advice,” Ward
said.
“The council also considered
its approach relative to other
councils, as well as taking into
account the current outbreak in
Canterbury, including the high
vaccination rates in Selwyn and
the immunity acquired from the
outbreak.

Council drops vaccine passes
NO PASS NEEDED: You no longer need to be fully vaccinated to visit the district council
offices or other council-run facilities.
“Given the levels of
community cases the region is
still experiencing, most other
health and safety measures
will remain in place at council
facilities to reduce the likelihood
of infection to the users of our
facilities and our staff.”
Masks were still required,
while some capacity limits may
still apply indoors.
The district council is also
reviewing its staff vaccination
policy and has opened
consultation with all staff. The
review is due to be completed by
next Tuesday.
New Covid cases in Selwyn
are reported each day on the
district council’s Facebook page.
On Monday, there were 1787
active cases in Selwyn and 239
new cases. There were 317 new
cases in the district on Friday.

One person
trapped after
car hits truck
THREE PEOPLE were injured
when a car crashed into the
rear of a stationary truck last
Wednesday night at Lincoln.
It took about 40min for Fire and
Emergency NZ crews to extricate
a passenger trapped in the front
seat of the car, which was stuck
under the truck after the crash
about 11pm
on the corner
of Gerald and
James Sts.
Fenz group
manager
Selwyn, Dave
Berry, said it
was a “technical
Dave Berry
extrication” as
fire crews had to work out how
to access the vehicle to free the
trapped passenger.
The vehicle could not be pulled
out, so they decided it would be
best to slowly drive the truck
forward.
The truck driver had parked up
for the night but was on the scene,
so was able to move the vehicle.
St John sent two rapid response
vehicles, three ambulances and
one manager to the scene.
Three patients were transported
to Christchurch Hospital, two in
serious conditions and one in a
moderate condition.

The average rise in the
region of Canterbury was 3.2
per cent, to an average house
value of $783,000. The national
average rise was 2.1 per cent, to

falling 0.1 per cent to $1.553

Canterbury
regional
manager Tony
Quayle, based
at Rolleston,
Tony
Quayle
said Selwyn
was “quite
insulated” from
drops in some areas, as seen in
Auckland.
This was due to demand
remaining solid.
Buyers from Auckland, Wellington,
Tauranga, Nelson, and
even the West Coast, were buying
homes, finding a $1 million
home in the district was much
nicer than the equivalent in
their home areas.
Echoing comments in the
OneRoof report, he said helping
the high demand was the
relatively high amount of new
builds, as people could get a
new home for a cheaper price.
Buyers were also attracted
by good employment opportunities
in Canterbury, or in
the pandemic they had found
they could work from home
successfully so could move
further away.
He said there was also demand
from investors, as they
could buy relatively modern
homes in the district to have as
rental properties.
The news of the high average
house value follows Real Estate
Institute of New Zealand reporting
last month that Selwyn
had reached a new record
high median house price of
$890,000 in February.
The institute will be releasing
its figures for March after
Easter.

To help protect and improve our waterways,
a limit now applies to the amount of
synthetic nitrogen fertiliser applied to
pastoral land. This was introduced as part
of the Essential Freshwater package.
Carefully managed, fertiliser is a useful
farming tool. However, it can contribute
to nutrient loss into soil and waterways,
impacting water quality and in-stream life.

you apply to pastoral land cannot exceed
190 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare
per year

THREE SPRINGSTON rugby
players were trespassed by police
from a hotel after they caused
trouble with other patrons.
The players from the colts
grade team had been socialising
with team mates at The Famous
Grouse in Lincoln (right) after a
pre-season match on the Saturday
before last.
Senior Sergeant Anna Lloyd
said parties involved in the incident,
were trespassed by police
at the request of the hotel. The
incident happened about 8.30pm.
Rugby club president Warren
Norton said the incident was dealt
with by the club the following day.
The players and other team members
had been spoken to about the
expectations of their behaviour
while out socialising.
There would be no further action
“at this stage”, he said.
“It’s a club matter and we have
dealt with it as a club,” Norton
said.
He said there were other parties
involved in the altercation besides
the players. He was not there at
the time, and did not want to go
into any details of the incident
itself.
The Selwyn Times understands
the altercation began when a
Springston player picked up a
patron’s drink at a nearby table
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
and started drinking it. The
patron protested, but was then
put in a headlock and, while being
held, another player lined him up
with a closed fist. A friend of the
man being held in the headlock
went to intervene and was himself
punched.
The patrons were much older
than the rugby players. One was
in his 50s and one in his 60s.
The team members were in their
players’ uniforms at the time.
The Famous Grouse general
manager Kurt Young said on
Monday he planned to talk to the
rugby club directly about any disciplinary
action it might be taking
against the three players.
He did not wish to comment
further.
Lloyd said late last week no
assault complaints had been laid
and no arrests made.

THE FORMER owners of Foster
Park’s land are devastated to see
their old family home vandalised
and awaiting removal.
They blame the district council,
accusing its staff of not consulting
publicly before U-turning
on original plans to upgrade and
keep the building for use as a
community facility.
The district council says keeping
the building would be costly,
and has avoided a question from
the Selwyn Times as to why it has
not consulted publicly.
Annette
Foster and her
late husband
David sold
32ha, including
the 40-year-old
architecturally
designed
homestead,
to the district
council for
Foster Park in 2010.
Foster Park has since become
a central sports ground facility
servicing the growing Rolleston
area. The homestead sits
amongst it, surrounded by public
gardens.
Annette and her daughter
Tania Croucher are now devastated
to see the building in a
vandalised state, after they were
shocked to learn the district

council plans to remove it.
They believe the district
council has not done enough
to prevent the vandalism, and
previously understood the homestead
could become a future facility
for community use, an idea
which aligned with the district
council’s plans in earlier years.
In the district council’s Foster

after public consultation, the

the district
council’s plans to
remove it.
Below: The
homestead as it
once stood, it was
built by Annette
and David Foster
about 40 years
ago.
homestead is described as “an
asset to the park.”
“The homestead could be used
in the future as a cafe or small
function venue, and the outdoor
areas have excellent potential as
picnic zones and informal play
areas for children,” the plan says.
Annette had remained a stakeholder
in the development of
Foster Park, as part of a district
council steering committee, following
the sale of the land.
It was in December last year
that she learned of the district
council’s new plans to remove
the building, which had been
rented by sports groups until
earlier in the year. In an email,
seen by the Selwyn Times,
council group property manager
Douglas Marshall told Annette
the district council had no long
term need for the dwelling and it
would be removed in February.
“You will probably know that
suggestions of cafes or meeting
rooms has been proposed, but we
are very much of the view that
cafes would be far better used
if included within the aquatic
centre or indoor courts in the
future. Similarly, we have added
meeting spaces to both buildings
in the most recent upgrade,”
Marshall said.
The Selwyn Aquatic Centre,
opened in 2013, and the Selwyn
Sports Centre with indoor
courts, opened last year, are in
the Foster Park area.
“To have it literally ripped
away, that’s really quite gutting,”
Annette said of the district
council’s plans to remove the
building.

Croucher, who grew up in
the homestead, said she and her
mother wanted the district council
to consult with the community,
to see if there was a potential use
for the building.
“The issue we have is the decision
to remove it is being made
without any consultation with the
public,” Croucher said.
The family had engaged a lawyer
to question the district council
on its decision, staving off the
home’s removal.
The district council now plans
to discuss the fate of the building,
but has not committed to getting
community feedback.
Marshall told the Selwyn Times
in a statement that the district
council would formally consider
the future of the homestead, at its
April 27 meeting, following the
Foster family asking the district
council to weigh up the best outcome
for the community.
He did not answer a question
posed by the Selwyn Times on
why the community had not been
consulted to date.
He said the district council had
explored options to develop the
homestead.
“Its location in the park means
extensive development would be
required to make it usable as a
community space. This would include
adding car parking, roading
connections and pathway access.

Recruitment
drive to bolster
brigade numbers
• By Susan Sandys
VOLUNTEER FIRE brigades in
Selwyn are on a recruitment drive
as they aim to bolster numbers.
It comes as brigades have split
into duty crews to get through the
Omicron wave.
Fire and Emergency New
Zealand group manager Selwyn,
Dave Berry, said last week only
a small number of the about 220
firefighters in the district had
been infected with Covid-19,
most likely helped by a system
of having split into duty crews.
There were 14 firefighters currently
isolating with the virus.
“We have been very lucky, I
think it’s because we went into
early planning with bubbles,”
Berry said.
In terms of firefighter numbers,
Berry said while brigades in
higher population areas such as
Lincoln and Rolleston had waiting
lists, some in smaller townships
had more ongoing pressure
as people moved in and out.
The Southbridge and Leeston
volunteer brigades are among
those seeking new members.
Southbridge chief Shane King
said the brigade had 14 male
members and one female. It
ideally wanted another three or
four.
“We are just trying to futureproof
our brigade,” King said.
The brigade was looking for
people keen to serve the community,
who lived in or near the
township.
Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade
has put a post on its Facebook
page, asking people who are
team players and eager to learn
to direct message the brigade via
the page.

RETIRING Lincoln Volunteer
Fire Brigade deputy chief Roger
McLenaghen had a Covid-style
send-off last week, after 43 years
of service.
The brigade has split into three
duty crews in the latest Omicron
outbreak to minimise the possibility
of everyone becoming
sick at once.
But as determined as
firefighters are to stay safe so
they can respond to fire calls,
they were just as determined to
give their deputy chief a suitable
send off.
On Thursday night they gathered
at the Lincoln Fire Station,
while remaining isloated in their
duty crew teams. McLenaghen’s
team was in the fire station with
him, with another team at the
opposite end of the fire station,
and the third outside the fire
station.
It was in this setting that
McLenaghen was awarded his
hat to keep, while incoming
deputy chief Richie Bee was
given a new hat. The honours
were undertaken by Fire and
Emergency New Zealand group
manager Selwyn, Dave Berry.
McLenaghen said it had been a
nice surprise to be given his hat
to keep, as he had been expecting
to be awarding it to Bee.
“It’s nice to think you can keep
that as a memento,” he said.
The farewell followed

McLenaghen’s last fire call out,
which had been only hours
earlier. As the deputy chief had
been dropping food and drinks
to the station for the upcoming
evening, the siren sounded about
5pm.
The call was to a minor
kitchen fire, which McLenaghen
and fellow firefighters quickly
extinguished before using a large
fan to extract smoke.
McLenaghen said one of the
highlights of belonging to the
brigade had been the many “lifetime
friends” he had made.
The 65-year-old Lincoln
University soil science tutor, who
grew up at Killinchy near Leeston,
said the brigade had also
given him life experiences.
“I have been fortunate to
be part of the fire brigade, it’s
quite an experience. You get
to do lots of things you would
never get to do in a normal walk
of life, some good, some not so
good, but you take the good with
the bad.”
The hardest times had been
seeing young people and people
he knew killed in car crashes.
The best had been rescuing
those dangerous situations, even
animals such as cats up trees and
ducklings down drains.
“If someone dials 111, we
respond.”
A memorable callout of recent
years had been rescuing four
German freedom campers in
2018, from the top of their vehicle
which had been swept into
a flooded Selwyn River at Coes
Ford.
The call summed up how
rewarding it had been to belong
to the brigade, as he and his
family opened their home to the
women and made sure they had
everything they needed.
The brigade is planning a more
formal retirement function for
McLenaghen, one befitting his
long and dedicated service, once
the worst of the pandemic is
over.

Miriam, at the age of 84, is
believed to be the oldest person
in the country to have attained
grand champion status in the
discipline.
Rally-O is a mix between
agility and obedience which test
dogs’ and handlers’ capabilities
to perform a series of different
exercises.
Part of the contest includes
combinations of turns, presents,
finishes, changes of position,
heeling around cones, halts,
stays and jumps.
Miriam said Jaunty’s good
temperament had helped him
put in his winning performance,
as the pair ticked off the last of
the required 50 double qualifying
rounds, while at the Rally-O
championship trial hosted by
Mid Canterbury Dog Training
Club last week.
“It is not necessarily the most
intelligent who win, it’s the dog
that has the will to please, and a
lot of people don’t realise that,”
Miriam said.
Miriam had herself had a part
to play in Jaunty’s enthusiastic
nature, having bred golden
retrievers in the past. Jaunty was
descended directly from a bitch
she first bred from in 1969.
“Temperament is the most important
thing, and I have always
bred for that,” Miriam said.
“Jaunty is a useless guard
dog, but you can trust him with
anyone. He loves everybody,
everybody is his friend.”
Miriam has been a member
of the Selwyn Dog Training
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Club for about 10 years. She
was a foundation member of
the Southern Golden Retriever
Club, and taught and competed
in obedience for many years.
“What keeps me going in
this sport is the attitude of the
people, fellow competitors, the
encouragement, the camaraderie,
they are just a wonderful
bunch of people.”
Dogs New Zealand director
secretary Steven Thompson
said the organisation did not
keep age statistics of members,
but believed Miriam was the
oldest ever to achieve the
Rally-O title.

Is this really democracy?
I was genuinely heartened as
a ratepayer to read that 50 per
cent of district councillors have
openly declared their concerns
about the Three Waters process
(Selwyn Times, March 30). Those
district councillors need to be
applauded. As elected members,
they are reflecting concerns of
their constituencies associated
with these ill-informed, divisive
and politically motivated
reforms.
The motion to join Communities
4 Local Democracy, consisting
of 32 out of 67 councils, was
defeated by the mayor’s casting
vote. That is a democratic process
and no argument from me about
that.
However, there is some irony,
in that the mayor has used the
democratic process to defeat an
opportunity to join a group with
some real voice when dealing
with central government, in
turn, undemocratic approach to
reforms.
While district councillors
rightly feel that they should not
be fighting with the Government,
a high percentage feel
they need to do so to be heard. If
not, who then do we,as ratepayers,
turn to for our voices to be
heard given that district council
submissions to date have been
largely ignored by the minister
and officials; and given that
credible representation via the
conflicted and toothless Local
Government New Zealand organisation
is no longer an option.
– Ian Lees, Darfield
We believe Selwyn should
definitely join the action group
opposing Three Waters. This is
legalising theft of our local assets.
What is more, it is endorsing
removing a democratic process.
This coming election will be the
first ever local body election (I
am ashamed to say) that I will be
voting in.
Sam Broughton, should he be
standing, will definitely not be
on our list of choices, among
others. The council should also
oppose any mandate to chlorinate
our water except where
issues are occurring. – Anne and
Gabe Bouterey, Prebbleton
I think the council should join
Communities 4 Local Democracy,
and I think that our mayor
should get the boot at the next
local elections.
We can’t have 15 per cent of
the population making decisions,
purportedly on our behalf,
there is no democracy there. –
William Nelson, West Melton
Yes, the district council should
join the Three Waters action
group Communities 4 Local
Democracy. – Tom Ferguson

MORE THAN 60 Lincoln
University staff and
student volunteers are
delivering breakfast, lunch
and dinner to the doors of
isolating students in halls
and independent flats.
Students are continuing
to come down with Covid-19
in the latest Omicron
wave, following the university
last week reporting it
had recorded 361 Covid-19
cases in staff and students
from late February to mid-
March.
The university’s acting
director of customer
engagement and experience
Jaime Shone said the
volunteers were delivering
an average of 120 meals per
day. They were also creating
and delivering care packs
for students and checking
on the students’ welfare.
“Our workers are busy,
but they’re loving being a
part of the volunteer effort
and helping people get
through some very tough
times,” Shone said.
Vice-Chancellor Professor
Grant Edwards said
their efforts have been
“inspirational and extraordinary”
as the university
faced the challenge of the
Covid-19 pandemic, which
was unprecedented in
recent times.
“We have a process in
place to identify each new
case, and our response
mechanism, crewed
mainly by volunteers, kicks
in immediately to cater
to each individual case’s
needs,” Edwards said.
“We are pleased to
welcome back students and

World Travellers Rolleston
Surviving the
COVID storm
As restrictions lift and the COVID
storm begins to come to an end, you
can detect an audible sigh of relief
around the world. We can travel once
again, families can reunite, we have our
freedom again.
For us here at World Travellers, the
struggle has been all too real. No one
saw it coming;
how could the tap
on travel be so
abruptly turned
off? There was no
time for shock or
worry. We had a job
to do. Customers
all over the world
were panicking
and desperate to
return home. It
was a scramble to
reschedule fights
and negotiate boarder restrictions of a
kind never experienced before.
Despite the odds stacked against
us, where some shut up shop, we kept
our doors open. We have ridden out
the storm and grown as travel experts
because of it. Back then our customers
knew us as Helloworld Rolleston. As the
dust settled and we moved into the new
normal, we quickly realized that the
Helloworld brand would not allow us to
serve our customers as they deserved.
Now you will know us as World
Travellers Rolleston and we are excited
to be moving to our new office very
soon at 80 Rolleston Drive. The decision
to rebrand has been about giving our
customers more choice and allowing us
the freedom to better serve their needs
post COVID. We put our
customers first, dedicated
to bringing them the best
service possible.
We are still here and
not going away anytime
soon. The future is bright,
changes are happening,
and the world is yours
once again.

Twenty Lincoln High School students
challenged themselves as they trekked,
rafted and biked from the West Coast
back to their school. Teacher Kerri
Loughhead was also on the trip, initiated
by the non-profit Building Awesome
Young Men project.
She said it began with “a massive
day of river crossings and boulder
hopping” as they navigated their way
through Deception Valley. Day two they
descended from 1076m via the Mingah
River, then crossing State Highway 73 to
Greyneys Shelter.
THey had tired bodies and heavy
packs, but were enlivened by the
experience.
“Eating snowberries, diving into
turquoise blue water and even spotting
the native whio.”
Rafting 59km down the Waimakariri
River followed, then the journey ended
with a 10km bike ride.
“It was a massive but incredibly
memorable journey for our young men
to have accomplished. We couldn’t have
asked for a better group to have taken on
this adventure,” Loughhead said.

THERE’S A new butterfly
in town, but this one is a
deliberate introduction
for biological control of a
significant weed species.
I spotted the honshu
white admiral (Limenitis
glorifica) fluttering around
our honeysuckle plant
where it eventually landed.
This butterfly was introduced
to New Zealand
for controlling japanese
honeysuckle vine (Lonicera
japonica), a serious
environmental weed that
can invade forest margins,
shrublands, coastal areas,
river systems, and wetland
margins. It is more of a
threat in warmer northern
regions but is taking
hold in areas around
Canterbury, such as Banks
Peninsula, as temperatures
increase.
The more commonly
grown box or wilson’s honeysuckle
(Lonicera nitida)
is not attacked by the
honshu white admiral.
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
Butterfly a new arrival
The butterfly is endemic
to the Japanese island of
Honshu and after extensive
testing, was first released
in Waikato in 2014.
Male and female butterflies
are similar looking,
with black with white
markings and a wingspan
of 60mm. However, the
underside of the wings are
an orange-brown colour
with white spots.
The female lays a single
yellow egg on honeysuckle
leaf, but can lay between
150 and 200 over its onemonth
life. Larvae hatch
from eggs after a week and
assume a brown colour.
As caterpillars grow, they
change to a green colouration
and develop 12 or so
spikey brown protrusions
on their bodies. Caterpillars
will consume leaves
and in large numbers can
defoliate plants.
It is early days yet, but it
is hoped that this biocontrol
species will significantly
reduce honeysuckle
here in New Zealand, as

The ground is being laid for growing opportunities for year round sport in Selwyn.
The shock pads and artificial grass turf has begun to be laid for two new artificial pitches at Foster
Park. The pitches, which will primarily be used for hockey and football, are nearing completion, ready
to open in May for the winter sports season.
The turfs will provide latest generation all weather surfaces that will give more options for sports to be
played and grow in Selwyn, Council Acting Major Projects Manager Phil Millar says.
“We are incredibly excited to soon have these two new facilities available to the Selwyn community
– both are of a high quality – suitable to host a range of events and Tournaments from junior sport
through to international matches, and both are built to stricter environmental requirements.”
Waikirikiri Hockey Club and Selwyn United Football Club will be the primary users of the pitches,
along with their regional bodies, which have primary responsibility for planning and administering their
winter competitions.
The additional hockey pitch will allow Waikirikiri Hockey Club to play at home, offer more teams and
run further programmes.
The football turf will help address a shortage of pitch space for Selwyn United FC – one of the South
Island’s largest football clubs – providing the equivalent playing and training time of five grass pitches
and with markings for all age groups and grades to use.
While hockey and football will mainly use the fields during evenings and Saturdays during the peak
winter season, the turfs will be available for hire to general users – providing opportunities to wider
sports and community groups. Priority will be given to local schools, sports trusts and other potential
clubs and users, Mr Millar says.
“The high quality, hard-wearing nature of the surfaces, provides our whole community with
the opportunity to experience the benefits of using an artificial surface. If people adhere to the
maintenance and use requirements, these surfaces can be used for a range of less formal games and
activities when the weather doesn’t allow for the use of grass surfaces, or where the Selwyn Sports
Centre may not meet their needs.”

Successful month
helping Selwyn learn
earn and grow
A first month-long series of events supporting
Selwyn businesses has seen success, despite Covid
restrictions.
The month-long Learn Earn Grow Selwyn series saw
26 events held covering a wide variety of skills, training
and support for businesses, employees and people
looking for employment.
Over 100 people took part in the events, despite
Covid forcing 10 events to be cancelled. The Council
is planning to hold some of these events – including
the sold out four part Hiwa Wahine series of inspiring
women sharing their career journey.
A range of online seminars, workshops, information
sessions and employment opportunities were on offer, covering session from starting a business to
supporting new migrants and those employing new migrants, business growth and marketing.
The Council teamed up with employment and business agencies and groups ranging from IRD to Citizens
Advice Bureau, the Canterbury Employers Chamber of Commerce, Xero accounting and local businesses.
Learn Earn Grow Selwyn was the latest in a series of events the Council has been running, working with
businesses, employees and those looking for work, Council Group Manager Community Services and
Facilities Denise Kidd say.
“This was the culmination of a long-process talking with the community about how we as Council can best
support Selwyn business and we’re delighted with how things. It was a challenging time to be running
events and our staff and partners put a huge amount of work in to making it happen. We’ll be looking at
how it went, what went well and what we can improve and looking to build on this for the future.”

For this exhibition, we’re calling for submissions from local artists to respond to this theme,

Photography a step
• By John Cosgrove
EVEN though he loves
online car racing video
games, 14-year-old
Rolleston College
student Nathan Heney has
more fun photographing
the real thing.
It all began when he got
his first camera at age 10,
and started snapping photos
of what was happening
around him.
A couple of years later
he was able to buy his first
proper Canon DSLR
camera, but found he
wasn’t that keen on just
photographing trees and
buildings.
“I didn’t find that very
interesting at all, because
basically I wasn’t very good
at it, but I had always loved
cars, so I decided to take
up car photography and
try that out,” he said.
Nathan went along with
his family to a few cars
shows and events, and
soon developed a passion
for car photography.
From those initial
beginnings, this self-taught
photographer quickly
developed his style of car
photograph. He learned
from his mistakes and
THROUGH THE LENS: One of Nathan Heney’s
favourite cars is a BMW M3 (top). He has also

built up a strong following
for his craft online.
“The first people I ever
asked to photograph their
cars were a very nice car
dealership, they liked the
photos and put them up on
their Instagram account,”
Nathan said.
“I was pretty happy with
that as it was a big deal for
me because I was just 12
years old. But I wanted to
do more individual car and
motorsport photography,”
he said.
He started shooting at
Ruapuna every weekend
during the motor racing
season.

“I took lots of photos and built
up a good following on my Instagram
account,” he said.
“I found a supercar group
here in Christchurch and posted
on their Facebook site asking
if anyone would like their car
photographed.
“A few people messaged me
back and I went on my first photoshoot
with them, taking photos
of a BMW M3, my favourite car.
“I was so surprised how well
the photos came out,” he said.
“Then the owners’ friend contacted
me and asked me to shoot
his Lamborghini.”
Whenever he gets stuck, he
seeks fatherly advice from father
David Heney, or contacts car
and motorsport photographers
online.
“When I get to shoot a Lamborghini,
I go to pages online to
see what the car looks good in,
and what locations suit it, then I
might message other Kiwi-based
car photographers for advice such
as Brad Longworth of Auckland
and Jack Morgan – Shots by Jack,
of Christchurch. They’re all very
helpful,” he said.
He said his friends think it’s
cool that he gets to shoot exotic
cars.
At school on Mondays, they
gather around to see all the
new photos he has shot over the
weekend.
PASSION: Fourteen-year-old Rolleston College student
Nathan Heney enjoys photographing cars.

“People come up and say my
photos are good.”
His best shoot was the Lamborghini
Huracan.
“I went into the Port Hills, and
took it to different twisty road
sections, it was a very wet day
which made the car look so much
better.”
On the attraction between cars
and photography, Nathan said
he loves being able to take photos
and capture incredible cars, especially
in motorsport.
“I am constantly looking
around for people photos in pit
lane, and the cars on the track,”
he said.
“My favourite cars are a nicely
built BMW M3, a Nissan Sylvia
S15 and a Lamborghini Aventador
SVJ.
Being only 14 years old and
unable to drive, Nathan said his
family help drive him to locations
for his car shoots.
“Sometimes they get up early
to get me to the places so I can
shoot at sunrise, then they leave
me with the drivers, and we go
off and shoot the cars.
“The drivers then drop me back
home later in the day.”
He said he can’t wait to
get his licence and plans to
pursue a career in both car
and motorsport photography
and would love to be able to
photograph a formula one car
racing.

​Life after rugby: Kieran Read on dad-life
• By Kris Shannon
IN THE year since he retired
from rugby, Kieran Read has not
lifted a weight or entered a gym.
Rather than grappling for a
loose ball in a ruck, he wrestles
with his three kids on the trampoline,
and instead of a week
peaking on the field, his happy
place is mowing the lawn.
If it sounds like Read is living
post-rugby life as a typical Kiwi
dad, there’s a reason for that.
The 36-year-old will tell you
that’s who he has long been – just
one who won two World Cups
then captained the All Blacks 52
times.
But with those feats disappearing
further in the rear-view
mirror, triumphs of which every
other Kiwi dad can only dream,
Read’s new routine is much more
familiar.
“It’s based around my family,”
he says on the Between Two
Beers podcast, midway through
an ordinary Wednesday. “I got
the kids ready for school and
went for a run and then just did a
little bit of work.
“I took my wife out for lunch,
and then the kids get home from
school and you’re basically wrestling
on the tramp and running
around outside.”
Running, after kids or otherwise,
is one activity Read has
continued since playing his final
game for Japanese side Toyota
Verblitz last May.
While he held antipathy towards
both fitness and gym work
during a 16-year professional
career, Read still needed to funnel
his athletic urges somewhere
other than the backyard.
“I have not set foot in a gym,
I have not picked up a weight or
a dumbbell or anything since I
retired,” Read says. “You had to
do it for so long – for your career
and your body and to perform
like you had to, you had to work
hard in the gym.
“And it was okay, but I didn’t
enjoy it as much as some of the
other parts of what you’re doing
as a rugby player. So I kind of
stopped.
“I never thought I’d go running
because I hated running,
too. But I started running as
being my buzz and to keep fit
and more to just clear the mind,
really.”
FAMILY TIME: Kieran Read with his children at Tokyo Stadium after his final test for the All
Blacks in the bronze medal play-off game with Wales at the 2019 World Cup. Earlier that
year it was a fond farewell to Christchurch after he led the Crusaders to a Super Rugby
title victory over the Jaguares.
Nothing will clear the mind,
Read found late last year, like
hitting the wall halfway through
a 55km run.
The formidable loose forward
has shed almost 15kg from his
playing weight of 110kg, putting
him in the right shape to face
some demons while running the
iconic Old Ghost Rd track.
“I definitely didn’t run the
whole way. There were some dark
patches,” Read says. “I’d run 20k
before it – that was the furthest
I’d run in one attempt. Then you
turn up for this Old Ghost Rd and
it’s pretty hilly and pretty tough
and, man, she’s a tough gig.
“Thirty K in, I was feeling all
right, then suddenly hit the wall
and went through about 10k of
demons. It was tough but, after
about seven or eight hours, I got
to the end and it was fulfilling to
get done. It scratched an itch.”
The next chance to satiate
those urges will be a 12-hour
running-and-biking event in
Kaikōura. But while he enjoys
the adventure races and idyllic
family life and blessedly painfree
mornings, Read is well
aware how different post-rugby
life can be.
When Carl Hayman played the
last of his 46 tests in 2007, Read
was a year away from starting his
ALL BLACK: Kieran Read watches on from the sideline at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium after injury ruled him out of
playing England in 2014. He started his 127-test career against Scotland at Murrayfield in 2008 with fellow new caps
Liam Messam (left) and Jamie Mackintosh.
128-test tenure, the third-most
appearances in All Blacks history.
The pair’s retirements have
been divergent, too, and Read
was as saddened as any rugby
fan when Hayman late last year
revealed his struggles with earlyonset
dementia.
The number of contact-sport
athletes who can empathise with
Hayman is alarmingly high,
an uncomfortable reality only
becoming clearer as awareness
grows about the long-term effects
of head knocks.
And Read, who suffered a prolonged
battle with concussions in
2014, shortly after being named
the best player in the world, is
among them.
“You see the studies that are
coming out and see Carl Hayman
in the media and it’s hard
not to get a little bit worried
about those things, knowing that
you’ve been through this.”
Read’s own story has a happier
ending, even if eight years on
recalling that period engenders
the opposite feeling.
The afternoon entertainment
of the trampoline was then a
source of pain, headaches the result
of watching his kids bounce
up and down. Scanning the road
while driving a short distance
was the same.
Before the problem was pinpointed
as a balance issue, Read
couldn’t help but be troubled by
what all those hits might have
done to his health.
“It was one of the toughest
times of my career – more leading
up to when I figured out that
it wasn’t my brain,” Read says.
“I went and did these tests and I
couldn’t even stand on one foot, I
was so out of whack.
“It was scary and you question
a lot in that time – I know a lot
of guys who have had serious
concussions. For two months I
was essentially feeling like shit
because you do these tests and
all these exercises and it makes
you worse. It makes your f*****g
head ache.
“I was still playing – I probably
shouldn’t have, looking back –
because I was like, it’s not my
brain, I can do it. I’d be in training
and pop my head out of a
maul and not know where I was.”
With the assistance of doctors,
psychiatric counselling and
vestibular rehabilitation therapy,
the issue eventually was resolved.
One morning, Read woke up and
felt normal again.
But he naturally has some
concerns about what the future
may hold, heartened by the fact
he’s not alone and keen to extend
that comfort to others, no matter
how upsetting the topic can be.
“I was very wary after that,
but I was pretty lucky that I
didn’t have too many major head
knocks,” Read says. “I’ve done
everything I could – I never went
back after a concussion straight
away, and I did all the protocols
and was well looked after.
“The thing is, when you talk
about it, it puts you back into
that moment, that pretty dark
space, because you are touching
on that whole anxious time and
living a life that’s pretty tough
to live.
“So that’s the hardest bit,
when you’re transported back to
those feelings. But I’m happy to
talk about it and just make sure
people do the right thing, which
is listening to the experts and
taking the time.”
Any teammate who has played
under Read will recognise his approach
to what can seem a taboo
subject in modern rugby.
Of course he’s happy to talk
about it; Read built his captaincy
on connecting with his charges,
building relationships, and talking
about anything and everything
that would make the team
marginally better.
That chat started at a young
age, but not on the rugby field.
“I captained cricket teams
when I was growing up but I
never had confidence in a rugby
environment,” he recalls. “I was
always listening and learning
and picking up stuff in the different
teams I was involved in,
but I was never one to voice any
opinions or speak up.

​and head knocks
“But you realise you pick up what it
takes to have a relationship and understanding
different cultures and what it
means for these guys.”
That was particularly true when Read
- who until 18 considered himself a
stronger cricket prospect - played rugby
for Counties Manukau at age-group level.
Having grown up in “a special part of
the world”, Read progressed from Papakura’s
Rosehill College to the provincial
team, where his experiences as one of
the few Pākehā kids shaped the man he
would become.
“It’s a little bit tough for this white guy
to turn up and try to play
with them, especially
when they start speaking
Tongan or Fijian on the
field,” Read says. “I just
had to try and keep up,
but it was a lot of fun.
“It was pretty cool to experience that
culture and get a grasp for it. Growing up
in South Auckland, it shaped who I was
going to be as a leader and how I interact
with different people.”
It will come as no surprise, then, that
Read - once school drop-off duties are
out of the way - is now spending his spare
time forging a new career focused on
leadership.
Whether it’s captain of a first XV
or chief executive of a business, Read
believes many leaders are thrown in the
deep end, and he has invaluable knowledge
to keep them from sinking.
“You get hung out to dry a little bit
when you get named captain,” he says.
“There’s not too many tools to help you.
So I’m hoping to launch that soon and really
help that next generation of leader.”
Ask him the most pivotal aspect of
leadership and, again, it’s all talk.
“Accountability is probably one of the
hardest things to have as a leader,” Read
says.
“You’re trying to have that hard conversation
with your mate, saying: ‘Hey,
you’re not pulling your weight here, we
need you’, which is really hard to do.
“It means being able to be a bit uncomfortable
there. You work yourself up a
bit before you do it but it’s an important
I’d be in training and pop
my head out of a maul
and not know where I
was.
– Kieran Read
conversation to have.
“The way I led was that I hoped people
would then hold me accountable, because
there’s a connection and they understand
that I’m doing it to them because of a bigger
picture. I think that’s the important
thing – if what you’re saying is going to
help the team and put the team first, then
it has to be said.”
It hardly needs to be said that sport still
flows through Read’s blood. Although
he’s avoided the gym, running is far from
the only athletic pursuit in his household.
Read’s five-year-old son Reuben has yet
to venture much further than the trampoline,
but daughters
Elle and Eden play touch,
netball, basketball and
hockey.
“My wife’s not too
happy,” Read laughs,
“because when I’m away
she’s got to ship them around everywhere
for training.”
Elle, his eldest, has also taken to
cricket, just in time to offer her dad some
crucial practice in the backyard.
Read certainly looked well trained
when he smashed 84 from 55 balls after
opening the batting for Team Rugby in
January’s Black Clash. But that knock did
feature some nervy moments.
Particularly, he remembers, when
facing Shane Bond, who at 46 remains a
few clicks faster than Read’s 11-year-old
daughter.
“If you love cricket, you love watching
Shane Bond play,” Read says. “Growing
up, that was one of my heroes, and suddenly
you get the opportunity to face
him.
“I flew up with him from Christchurch,
so we went for coffee and had a good
yarn. I just thought I’d butter him up so
when I did face him, maybe he wouldn’t
send it down too hard.
“Then, lo and behold – first ball,
bouncer straight at the head. I was like:
‘What’s happening?’”
A year after leaving behind rugby and
beginning the rest of his life, a content
Read is more than satisfied with the
answer to that question.

AN ALREADY epic
harness racing journey
continued when Regan
Todd trained his 200th
New Zealand winner at
Rangiora on Sunday.
Todd brought up the
milestone in style with Play
Philly and Stac completing
a race-to-race double.
The trainer admitted he
is living a harness racing
dream that has some of its
earliest beginnings back
in his home province of
Southland.
“Back in Wyndham I
used to jump the fence at
school a lot,” Todd said.
“I would have the old
school bag on and I would
jump the fence to go help
Snow (McLellan).”
Somewhat ironically, it
is a win that doesn’t count
among his 200 that rates as
one of the most important
in Todd’s career.
The trainer has a twofrom-two
unbeaten record
in Australia, with Show
Gait scoring the trainer’s
first Group One success in
the latest of those.
“That sort of got the ball
rolling for us that horse.
“Mark and Nat have
been great supporters and
that win sort of put us on
the map.”
Todd notched his first
CHAMP: Regan Todd
trained his 200th New
Zealand winner at
Rangiora on Sunday.
Group One win in New
Zealand a matter of weeks
ago and naturally it rates
very highly among the
highlights in his 200
victories on home soil.
“Better Talk Art winning
the Group One was a huge
thrill.
“We have been pretty
lucky to win some big
races.
“The Southland Oaks
last year was a pretty big
thrill, I quite enjoyed that.
“Especially because I am
from down there.
“We were second in the
Southern Supremacy too,
so it was a good day.”
GOOD BET:
Stac wins
for Regan
Todd to
complete a
race-to-race
double in
Rangiora
on Sunday.

Play Philly will attempt
to follow in Better Talk
Art’s footsteps by winning
this year’s Southland Oaks
final.
Her victory in the
Rangiora 3YO Stakes
shows she is right on
track for her Group Two
tilt.
“It worked out perfect,
she hadn’t had a run for a
while and it was a bit like a
trial for her.”
“She has done a great
job.”
Play Philly will head
to the paddock after the
Southland Oaks with the
big fillies races later this
year in Todd’s mind.
“Her programme is
to have another run in a
fortnight to top her off for
the Southland Oaks.
“After she goes down
there, she will be going to
the paddock.
“Then we will bring her
back and hopefully have
her right for the big races
later in the season.”

Friday Night Lights open up playing options
and numbers for Canterbury Rugby Clubs.
It’s a phenomenon in America and
now it’s hitting the Selwyn District,
with Friday Night Lights now
a staple in the Ellesmere Rugby
calendar for Division 3, providing
opportunities for a number of
players to stay in the game.
The ability to play under lights
has helped several grades keep the
fixture list in check, with the Luisetti
Seeds Ellesmere Division 1 set to be
played at Easter.
For the teams competing in the
Division 3 competition, playing
on a Friday night provides an ideal
setting in which to stay connected to
the game, allowing the fathers, the
coaches and those that combine both
to still utilise their Saturday’s as they
choose.
As Lincoln Club Captain Andrew
Clayton says, this provides an
opportunity for all to come down to
the club and get immersed in the club
rugby atmosphere.
“Having the lights on when we play
on a Friday night,” said Clayton, “it
allows the kids to come down and
run around, the spectators to come
down, watch some footy from the
club and the players to play in an
inviting, family environment.”
“It’s got to the point where our
Division 3 team insists on playing on
a Friday night so that they can still
play around their commitments.”
Clayton said.
As a result, a large number of the
Division 3 players are able to commit
time back to the game, with many of
the group fathers and subsequently
coaches of their children’s teams.
“I’d say a third to a half of the players
would coach on a Saturday, and if
they don’t, they all have young kids
so they’re involved anyway.”
For the last three years, the grade has
shifted to nearly all games taking
place on a Friday, something that is
now being utilised by a number of
grades, especially in pre-season.
“Next Friday night, we’ll have three
games under lights, with most teams
loving the opportunity to play under
lights.” said Clayton.
Friday Night Lights at Lincoln RFC
“From the club perspective, having
the club open on a Friday night
allows us to keep the club afloat and it
provides that hub for our community
to enjoy a nice, relaxed atmosphere
and some footy.”
If Saturdays don’t suit, there’s
an option for everyone to stay
involved in rugby, contact your
local club to enquire about these
options today!

Weather and climate change
prominent in council plans
The impacts of climate change are evident in
some of the extreme weather events we have
seen over the last year, Environment Canterbury
(ECan) says.
In late May 2021, Canterbury experienced
significant rainfall that led to widespread
flooding, which had devastating impacts across
the region. A regional state of emergency
was declared, and support was mobilised for
communities who were dealing with the damage.
That event impacted regional infrastructure
– main roading links in particular – as well as
personal property, and did damage to the flood
protection system (External link) that we have
in place along the river. The extent of the impact
was such that central government has pledged
funds to support the rebuild of flood protection,
and we need to fund our share.
ECan has been calling for public feedback on
council funding for dealing with weather events
like May 2021.
By carrying out flood protection work quickly,
the region will recover faster and land, homes
and communities will be protected from future
events, the council says.
Because of the regional significance of the
May 2021 flood, the Government’s National
Emergency Management Agency (External link)
have committed to co-fund about $7.5 million
of the recovery work. The total for the recovery
work is estimated to be almost $20 million.
“We need to fund our share - $12.2 million.
We are proposing to borrow this money over
two years, with repayments being met through
a general rate. By borrowing $6.1 million in
2022/3 and $6.1 million in 2023/24 and repaying
through general rates over the next ten years,
the costs are spread across the region over an
extended period,” ECan says.
Recognising that “climate change is the issue of
our time”, ECan is also proposing a future levy to
fund responses.
“We are seeing increasingly frequent flooding,
storms, fires and droughts, as well as melting ice
sheets, sea level rise and changes to coastlines.
Scientists and governments agree that we need to
take urgent action now,” the council says.
The levy would not be included in ECan’s
Annual Plan 2022/23. However, ECan says if
a levy is supported, it would “work with the
community to develop funding principles and
prioritise initiatives”.
“As a country, our greenhouse gases emissions
are increasing. We want Canterbury/Waitaha
to be resilient to the climate change impacts
and extreme weather events that we are already
seeing and to reduce further impacts by lowering
greenhouse gas emissions.” We all have a part to
play in this, ECan says. “As the regional council
we want to ensure we can support you and your
communities, by taking action that will shape
Canterbury now and in the future.”

Council rates take explained
Environment Canterbury (ECan) is
proposing a total of $264.02 million of
activities in 2022/23. If the preferred bus
fare option of targeted fare-free transport
is supported about 60% of total revenue
will come from rates. The rates revenue
required will be less if a different option is
selected, the council says.
ECan’s proposed draft Annual is based
on Year 2 of the Long-Term Plan 2021–31,
which the council adopted in June last
year.
Priorities for the next decade are
freshwater management, climate
change resilience, emissions reduction,
pest control, and the regeneration of
Income and sources of funding
ECan activities are funded from a combination of rates,
grants, user pays and other income (see table below).
biodiversity. Other major work areas
include building community engagement
and sharing collected information
and data to improve transparency and
decision-making.
“The Long-Term Plan highlights the
breadth of our work from meeting new
statutory requirements and Government
legislation to taking transformational
opportunities for the environment,” ECan
says.
The council says relatively high

respond to the priorities identified by
stakeholders and the community during
consultation.”
During consultation on the plan,
concerns were raised about the ongoing
impact on rates, especially with increasing
financial pressures and the economic
uncertainties linked to the Covid-19
pandemic.
“Last year we addressed affordability
concerns by borrowing and amending
the scale or timing of our activities in
2021/22 to restrict the rates rise to 12.6%.
While this reduced the total rates revenue
required in 2021/22, the result was an
18.8% increase in the coming financial
year (2022/23).”
Borrowing can be used to spread the
cost of an activity with benefits that
last longer than the repayment period.
“By borrowing in 2021/22 to support
development of a new freshwater
regulatory framework we reduced rates
revenue in that year, although repayments
will have some impact on rates for the
next nine years,” ECan says.

Get ready to collect falling leaves
LEAVES ON deciduous trees are
beginning to colour and towards
the end of the month there is
always the possibility of an early
frost.
A busy month in the garden
with many tasks to be completed
before the onset of winter.
Vegetable garden
Harvest the last of the summer
vegetables. Prepare and plant the
winter vegetable garden with the
following – broad beans, broccoli,
Brussel sprouts, cabbages,
cauliflower, onions, silver beet
and spinach. To ensure healthy,
vigorous growth of your winter
vegetables, prepare the soil thoroughly
by adding fresh compost.
Stagger plantings to guarantee
continuous harvesting, rather
than having crops all maturing
at once. Where there are empty
beds, sow a green manure crop
such as mustard or lupins, that
can be dug into the soil in late
winter/early spring. This protects
the soil over winter and adds
organic matter and nutrients back
into the soil.
Flowering annuals
Late autumn flowering annuals
are now finishing flowering
and can be removed. Add fresh
compost to the existing soil and
plant winter flowering annuals
including aquilegia, alyssum,
SEASONS: Rich red and
brown colours indicate the
onset of autumn, leaves

time to dig up those empty
beds for winter planting.
calendulas, cineraria’s, cornflower,
lobelias, nemesia, pansies, stock,
sweet william, and violas.
Strawberries
April and May are the main
months for planting new strawberry
plants. Prepare new strawberry
‘beds’ by adding compost to
the existing soil, as strawberries
grow best in a ‘rich’ soil. Create
mounds 200mm above the
existing soil and plant strawberry
plants spaced 120-150mm apart.
‘Mounding’ the soil improves
drainage, and the soil warms up
quicker in spring.
Fruit trees
The last of the apples such
as granny smith, can now be
harvested. All pip and stone
fruit trees will benefit from a late
autumn ‘clean up’ fungicide spray
of a copper compound, this is
especially important for peach
and nectarine trees. Delay pruning
until all the leaves have fallen,
to allow for a better overview of
a tree’s framework. Both feijoas
and kiwifruit can be harvested in
April. Let feijoas mature on the
plant and fall to the ground where
they can be collected.
Rose care
Late blooming roses such
as iceberg, will still be flowering
freely, while most bush and
climbing roses are in their last
month of flowering. Collect all
fallen leaves to reduce next seasons
infection of rust and black
spot. Mulch with fresh compost.
In the herb garden
The last month to collect fresh
herb leaves to dry and store for
use in winter. Over winter it may
be more convenient to grow herbs
in containers in a sunny spot near
the kitchen.
Lawns
Time to renovate existing lawns
or sow new ones (early April). As
with many aspects of horticulture,
preparation is critical for success
in developing a new lawn. When
importing new soil, where
possible, ensure it is weed free.
Sow generous amounts of grass
seed and maintain moisture
levels on the germinating seed.
With existing lawns, apply lawn
fertiliser to promote strong,
healthy growth.
Container gardens
Containers are useful for providing
colour and interest over
the winter months. Flowering
annuals thrive in containers and
brighten decks and entrances.
Winter vegetables such as lettuce,
spring onions and spinach can
also be grown in reasonable sized
containers. Always use fresh
container mix when planting a
new ‘crop.’
House plant care
When choosing new house
plants, always consider the shape,
habit, texture and colouring of
your new plants. Other important
factors are the temperature,
humidity, and light in a home
over the winter months. Remember
days are shorter in winter
and some plants may need to be
shifted closer to windows. Watering
can be reduced in the cooler
months using lukewarm water.
Stop fertiliser applications as it
is only beneficial during periods
of active growth (early spring to
early autumn).
Fun and exercise
all year round
Lagoon Pools import and install quality fibreglass swimming pools. To compliment the pools
they supply good quality equipment including salt water chlorinators, heat pumps, pool lights,
fountains and water features, swim turbines, spa jets, robotic pool cleaners and a range of covers

GARDENING 31
Give plants a chance to get established
• By Henri Ham
AUTUMN IS a treasured
planting season offering ideal
temperature and more instances
of rain.
It is cool enough for gardeners
to work in the garden and yet
warm enough for plants to get
established before winter.
Garden maintenance
• Keep weeds out and feed
citrus plants.
• Prepare your lawn for winter.
• Watch out for garden slugs.
• Harvest the remaining summer
crops.
• Prepare garden beds, add
compost, potting mix, and some
fertiliser.
Let’s look into more things to
do in the garden in April.
Edible garden
Beetroot, silverbeet, brassicas
(broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage,
etc) and celery are good to plant
at this time of the year.
Beetroot is a versatile choice,
highly nutritious and also delicious.
It can be used in many
beautiful dishes or enjoyed on its
own. You may also want to try
growing peas, generally loved by
many and also a good source of
nutrients.
Many gardeners use the staggered
planting technique to ensure
that they have a continuous
crop throughout winter. Plant
vegetable seedlings every 10-14
days so they mature and yield
fruits at different times.
If you have limited garden bed
space, consider planting slowergrowing
vegetable varieties like
red cabbage next to fast-growing
ones like lettuces.
This maximises the valuable
garden spaces and allows the gardener
to harvest the lettuce leaves
as they grow while waiting for the
other vegetables to mature.
Some gardeners also consider
thinning their carrots in autumn.
To thin, start removing those
that are growing too close to each
other.
Carrots need to be spaced
about 2cm apart to grow. Pick out
the ones that are the size of baby
carrots.
These are quite sweet and good
for roasting or raw snacks.
Make sure to firm the soil
around the remaining carrot
plants. This practice helps reduce
carrot flies along with planting
carrots next to spring onions and
garlic chives.
FRESH:
Carrots
should be
planted
around
2cm apart.
Flower garden
Autumn planting helps improve
a garden’s chances of having more
colourful blossoms in spring. The
soil is still warm for the flower
seedlings to get established. It’s a
good time to plant pansy, viola,
wallflower, stock, alyssum, dianthus
and sweet peas. Mix and
match perennials and annuals.
Ideas for flower tubs, pots:
1 Pots of different sizes with
mixed pansies and violas
2 Large pots _ place taller
plants like stock or carnation in
the middle and surround it with
shorter plants like pansies
Idea for hanging flower baskets
- Lobelias (mixed and cascading).
Herb garden
If you have a herb garden, consider
moving the basil indoors or
inside the greenhouse to protect
them from cold snaps. April is the
time to plant rocket, thyme and
oregano; and, to prune your sage
and rosemary.
Natives
Autumn is natives season. It’s
time to plant trees and hedges in
order for their roots to settle in
and get established before winter
kicks in. Akeake and Pittosporum
(also Griselinia for warmer
regions) are often used to create
hedges.
There are several fast-growing
varieties if you are interested in
creating a hedge for your property.
In choosing the right plant
variety for your hedge, consider
the primary purpose of the hedge:
shelter, privacy, fencing, decorative
border and peace and quiet.
Create a map of the area you’d
like to cover. Pick a sunny spot as
most trees grow best under full
sun. If the area you’re considering
is partially shaded, choose the
right plants that will grow under
those conditions.
Early autumn is a good time to
trim established hedges.

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.

Winter Veggies
If you want to grow from
seed, start these in jiffy pots
now. Pop them in a mini

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

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Choosing your
benchtop
Should it be functionality over durability
or cost over style? Is the benchtop
porous that you’ve chosen; will it stain,
and is it hygienic? Are you choosing an
environmentally friendly option? Whether
creating your kitchen for a new build or
renovating your existing kitchen, there
are many considerations when selecting a
benchtop. Here are some suggestions:
Marble/Granite
Marble and granite, priced at the higher
end of the market, are natural stone
materials and can provide a stunning
statement look. With gorgeous natural
grains and patterns, both are porous.
However, if not sealed regularly, these
stones can be easily damaged by oil and
anything acidic. They can also chip easily,
and although heat-resistant, hot pans
straight off the stove can cause issues.
Engineered/Composite Stone
As an alternative to marble or granite,
engineered or composite stone benchtops
are available. The composite material is
made from a pressurised quartz and resin
compound and may contain granite chips
and glass. It doesn’t need to be sealed and
is easy to look after, although it can chip.
This hard-wearing material is available in
a wide range of styles, colours and finishes
and may be similar in price to some
granites.
Acrylic
Acrylic benchtops are non-porous, have
seamless joins and are incredibly hygienic.
In addition, acrylic benchtops are easy to
clean and maintain, being stain-resistant.
If needed, they can be repaired and
polished to look new again. However,
placing hot pots directly on the surface can
cause damage.
Laminate
The most economical option on the
market is laminate (Formica) benchtops.
Don’t let visions of the past, where orange
Formica reigned supreme in the kitchen,
deter you from this option. Many surface
finishes and colour options are now
available as technology has improved.
Laminate is stain-resistant and, therefore,
easy to maintain. However, chips can
break the melamine coating layer. This
break may mean water can seep in and
cause the underlying chipboard to expand.
If you are doing some DIY and looking
at sustainable choices, perhaps you might
consider resurfacing the existing benchtop
using a specialist benchtop paint or
overlaying it with a sheet of engineered
stone.
With so many choices available,
your kitchen benchtop can meet your
functional needs while being beautiful,
stylish and within your budget.
Timber
Wooden benchtops are a big trend
in 2022. Wood can bring a natural and
softer look to your kitchen area. With a
wide variety of wood options available,
you can add character and colour to your
benchtop. However, wooden surfaces are
not maintenance-free and may require
sanding back and resealing if damaged. In
addition, being slightly porous, they are
not as hygienic as other products.
