Average house value breaks<br />

through million dollar mark<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

AVERAGE HOUSE values in<br />

the district have climbed over<br />

$1 million, out-performing<br />

Christchurch and every other<br />

district in Canterbury.<br />

While the housing market has<br />

shifted down a gear nationwide,<br />

latest figures reported in the One<br />

Roof House Price Report – <strong>April</strong><br />

<strong>2022</strong> show <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s average<br />

property value grew 5.6 per cent<br />

($54,000) to $1.018 million in the<br />

first three months of the year.<br />

Authors of the report said<br />

while the Canterbury region’s<br />

housing market had “lost a lot of<br />

its energy,” <strong>Selwyn</strong> was “clearly<br />

benefiting from heightened newbuild<br />

activity.”<br />

House value index figures in<br />

the report show <strong>Selwyn</strong> is streets<br />

ahead of Christchurch, which<br />

has the second highest average<br />

value with $788,000, having<br />

risen just 2.6 per cent in the first<br />

quarter of the year.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> is also well ahead<br />

when it comes to the rate of<br />

growth during the quarter.<br />

Ashburton had the second<br />

highest rise, of 4.9 per cent, to<br />

a value of $601,000. The lowest<br />

was Mackenzie, 0.1 per cent, to<br />

$768,000.<br />

PROPERTY prices continue<br />

The average house value in<br />

million, latest figures show.<br />

New builds appear to be<br />

driving the upward trend,<br />

and there is plenty of that going<br />

on across the district.<br />

Canterbury prices are still<br />

great value for money in<br />

comparison to other centres<br />

in New Zealand. And in<br />

terms of desirability, <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

has shot to the top of the list<br />

of where people want to live.<br />

As I have said before, this<br />

trend will continue well into<br />

the future as people in places<br />

like Auckland sell up and migrate<br />

south with left over cash<br />

in their pockets – and those<br />

from overseas who want a<br />

much safer place to live.<br />

VACCINE PASSES are no<br />

longer required to access district<br />

council facilities.<br />

The district council scrapped<br />

the pass requirement as of<br />

yesterday for all its facilities,<br />

including its Rolleston head<br />

offices, its libraries, sport<br />

and recreation facilities, and<br />

community<br />

centres.<br />

Chief<br />

executive David<br />

Ward said there<br />

was a “different<br />

Covid-19<br />

environment”<br />

now compared<br />

to when vaccine<br />

David Ward passes were<br />

introduced.<br />

The district council had<br />

taken this into account when<br />

making its decision to scrap<br />

the pass requirement, as well<br />

as Government’s softening of<br />

vaccine pass requirements.<br />

As of midnight on Monday,<br />

vaccine pass mandates were<br />

scrapped for hospitality and<br />

close-proximity businesses, but<br />

some could still use them if they<br />

chose to.<br />

“Following the Government’s<br />

announcement, the council<br />

conducted a review of its<br />

own health and safety risk<br />

assessment, with careful<br />

consideration given to the<br />

Government’s guidance and<br />

public health advice,” Ward<br />

said.<br />

“The council also considered<br />

its approach relative to other<br />

councils, as well as taking into<br />

account the current outbreak in<br />

Canterbury, including the high<br />

vaccination rates in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

the immunity acquired from the<br />

outbreak.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Council drops vaccine passes<br />

NO PASS NEEDED: You no longer need to be fully vaccinated to visit the district council<br />

offices or other council-run facilities.<br />

“Given the levels of<br />

community cases the region is<br />

still experiencing, most other<br />

health and safety measures<br />

will remain in place at council<br />

facilities to reduce the likelihood<br />

of infection to the users of our<br />

facilities and our staff.”<br />

Masks were still required,<br />

while some capacity limits may<br />

still apply indoors.<br />

The district council is also<br />

reviewing its staff vaccination<br />

policy and has opened<br />

consultation with all staff. The<br />

review is due to be completed by<br />

next Tuesday.<br />

New Covid cases in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

are reported each day on the<br />

district council’s Facebook page.<br />

On Monday, there were 1787<br />

active cases in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and 239<br />

new cases. There were 317 new<br />

cases in the district on Friday.<br />

One person<br />

trapped after<br />

car hits truck<br />

THREE PEOPLE were injured<br />

when a car crashed into the<br />

rear of a stationary truck last<br />

Wednesday night at Lincoln.<br />

It took about 40min for Fire and<br />

Emergency NZ crews to extricate<br />

a passenger trapped in the front<br />

seat of the car, which was stuck<br />

under the truck after the crash<br />

about 11pm<br />

on the corner<br />

of Gerald and<br />

James Sts.<br />

Fenz group<br />

manager<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>, Dave<br />

Berry, said it<br />

was a “technical<br />

Dave Berry<br />

extrication” as<br />

fire crews had to work out how<br />

to access the vehicle to free the<br />

trapped passenger.<br />

The vehicle could not be pulled<br />

out, so they decided it would be<br />

best to slowly drive the truck<br />

forward.<br />

The truck driver had parked up<br />

for the night but was on the scene,<br />

so was able to move the vehicle.<br />

St John sent two rapid response<br />

vehicles, three ambulances and<br />

one manager to the scene.<br />

Three patients were transported<br />

to Christchurch Hospital, two in<br />

serious conditions and one in a<br />

moderate condition.<br />

Tony<br />

Quayle<br />

said <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

was “quite<br />

insulated” from<br />

drops in some areas, as seen in<br />

Auckland.<br />

This was due to demand<br />

remaining solid.<br />

Buyers from Auckland, Wellington,<br />

Tauranga, Nelson, and<br />

even the West Coast, were buying<br />

homes, finding a $1 million<br />

home in the district was much<br />

nicer than the equivalent in<br />

their home areas.<br />

Echoing comments in the<br />

OneRoof report, he said helping<br />

the high demand was the<br />

relatively high amount of new<br />

builds, as people could get a<br />

new home for a cheaper price.<br />

Buyers were also attracted<br />

by good employment opportunities<br />

in Canterbury, or in<br />

the pandemic they had found<br />

they could work from home<br />

successfully so could move<br />

further away.<br />

He said there was also demand<br />

from investors, as they<br />

could buy relatively modern<br />

homes in the district to have as<br />

rental properties.<br />

The news of the high average<br />

house value follows Real Estate<br />

Institute of New Zealand reporting<br />

last month that <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

had reached a new record<br />

high median house price of<br />

$890,000 in February.<br />

Synthetic Nitrogen Fertiliser Limit<br />

What farmers need to do<br />

To help protect and improve our waterways,<br />

a limit now applies to the amount of<br />

synthetic nitrogen fertiliser applied to<br />

pastoral land. This was introduced as part<br />

of the Essential Freshwater package.<br />

Carefully managed, fertiliser is a useful<br />

farming tool. However, it can contribute<br />

to nutrient loss into soil and waterways,<br />

impacting water quality and in-stream life.<br />

All farmers<br />

• The amount of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<br />

you apply to pastoral land cannot exceed<br />

190 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare<br />

per year<br />

Dairy farmers<br />

• Report your synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<br />

use to Environment Canterbury annually<br />

• Submit your first report by 31 July <strong>2022</strong> -<br />

we’ll be in touch soon about how to do this<br />

THREE SPRINGSTON rugby<br />

players were trespassed by police<br />

from a hotel after they caused<br />

trouble with other patrons.<br />

The players from the colts<br />

grade team had been socialising<br />

with team mates at The Famous<br />

Grouse in Lincoln (right) after a<br />

pre-season match on the Saturday<br />

before last.<br />

Senior Sergeant Anna Lloyd<br />

said parties involved in the incident,<br />

were trespassed by police<br />

at the request of the hotel. The<br />

incident happened about 8.30pm.<br />

Rugby club president Warren<br />

Norton said the incident was dealt<br />

with by the club the following day.<br />

The players and other team members<br />

had been spoken to about the<br />

expectations of their behaviour<br />

while out socialising.<br />

There would be no further action<br />

“at this stage”, he said.<br />

“It’s a club matter and we have<br />

dealt with it as a club,” Norton<br />

said.<br />

He said there were other parties<br />

involved in the altercation besides<br />

the players. He was not there at<br />

the time, and did not want to go<br />

into any details of the incident<br />

itself.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> understands<br />

the altercation began when a<br />

Springston player picked up a<br />

patron’s drink at a nearby table<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

and started drinking it. The<br />

patron protested, but was then<br />

put in a headlock and, while being<br />

held, another player lined him up<br />

with a closed fist. A friend of the<br />

man being held in the headlock<br />

went to intervene and was himself<br />

punched.<br />

The patrons were much older<br />

than the rugby players. One was<br />

in his 50s and one in his 60s.<br />

The team members were in their<br />

players’ uniforms at the time.<br />

The Famous Grouse general<br />

manager Kurt Young said on<br />

Monday he planned to talk to the<br />

rugby club directly about any disciplinary<br />

action it might be taking<br />

against the three players.<br />

He did not wish to comment<br />

further.<br />

Lloyd said late last week no<br />

assault complaints had been laid<br />

and no arrests made.<br />

THE FORMER owners of Foster<br />

Park’s land are devastated to see<br />

their old family home vandalised<br />

and awaiting removal.<br />

They blame the district council,<br />

accusing its staff of not consulting<br />

publicly before U-turning<br />

on original plans to upgrade and<br />

keep the building for use as a<br />

community facility.<br />

The district council says keeping<br />

the building would be costly,<br />

and has avoided a question from<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> as to why it has<br />

not consulted publicly.<br />

Annette<br />

Foster and her<br />

late husband<br />

David sold<br />

32ha, including<br />

the 40-year-old<br />

architecturally<br />

designed<br />

homestead,<br />

to the district<br />

council for<br />

Foster Park in 2010.<br />

Foster Park has since become<br />

a central sports ground facility<br />

servicing the growing Rolleston<br />

area. The homestead sits<br />

amongst it, surrounded by public<br />

gardens.<br />

Annette and her daughter<br />

Tania Croucher are now devastated<br />

to see the building in a<br />

vandalised state, after they were<br />

shocked to learn the district<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Former owners ‘gutted’ to see vandalised<br />

Tania<br />

Croucher<br />

council plans to remove it.<br />

They believe the district<br />

council has not done enough<br />

to prevent the vandalism, and<br />

previously understood the homestead<br />

could become a future facility<br />

for community use, an idea<br />

which aligned with the district<br />

council’s plans in earlier years.<br />

In the district council’s Foster<br />

Park Master Plan 2014, finalised<br />

after public consultation, the<br />

UNCERTAIN: The<br />

future of Fosters<br />

Homestead is<br />

unknown as the<br />

house’s original<br />

owners question<br />

the district<br />

council’s plans to<br />

remove it.<br />

Below: The<br />

homestead as it<br />

once stood, it was<br />

built by Annette<br />

and David Foster<br />

about 40 years<br />

ago.<br />

homestead is described as “an<br />

asset to the park.”<br />

“The homestead could be used<br />

in the future as a cafe or small<br />

function venue, and the outdoor<br />

areas have excellent potential as<br />

picnic zones and informal play<br />

areas for children,” the plan says.<br />

Annette had remained a stakeholder<br />

in the development of<br />

Foster Park, as part of a district<br />

council steering committee, following<br />

the sale of the land.<br />

It was in December last year<br />

that she learned of the district<br />

council’s new plans to remove<br />

the building, which had been<br />

rented by sports groups until<br />

earlier in the year. In an email,<br />

seen by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />

council group property manager<br />

Douglas Marshall told Annette<br />

the district council had no long<br />

term need for the dwelling and it<br />

would be removed in February.<br />

“You will probably know that<br />

suggestions of cafes or meeting<br />

rooms has been proposed, but we<br />

are very much of the view that<br />

cafes would be far better used<br />

if included within the aquatic<br />

centre or indoor courts in the<br />

future. Similarly, we have added<br />

meeting spaces to both buildings<br />

in the most recent upgrade,”<br />

Marshall said.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre,<br />

opened in 2013, and the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sports Centre with indoor<br />

courts, opened last year, are in<br />

the Foster Park area.<br />

“To have it literally ripped<br />

away, that’s really quite gutting,”<br />

Annette said of the district<br />

council’s plans to remove the<br />

building.<br />

Croucher, who grew up in<br />

the homestead, said she and her<br />

mother wanted the district council<br />

to consult with the community,<br />

to see if there was a potential use<br />

for the building.<br />

“The issue we have is the decision<br />

to remove it is being made<br />

without any consultation with the<br />

public,” Croucher said.<br />

The family had engaged a lawyer<br />

to question the district council<br />

on its decision, staving off the<br />

home’s removal.<br />

to discuss the fate of the building,<br />

but has not committed to getting<br />

community feedback.<br />

Marshall told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

in a statement that the district<br />

council would formally consider<br />

the future of the homestead, at its<br />

<strong>April</strong> 27 meeting, following the<br />

Foster family asking the district<br />

council to weigh up the best outcome<br />

for the community.<br />

He did not answer a question<br />

posed by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> on<br />

why the community had not been<br />

consulted to date.<br />

He said the district council had<br />

explored options to develop the<br />

homestead.<br />

“Its location in the park means<br />

extensive development would be<br />

required to make it usable as a<br />

community space. This would include<br />

adding car parking, roading<br />

connections and pathway access.<br />

All this would come at a cost to<br />

a community facility? Or<br />

should the district council<br />

ratepayers.”<br />

The district council had<br />

contacted police regarding the<br />

vandalism, and would continue<br />

to make efforts to prevent further<br />

damage. Fencing around the<br />

home had been installed in response<br />

to vandalism.<br />

“But these vandals have broken<br />

it open to access the house,” Marshall<br />

said.<br />

SCHOOL BUS CRASH<br />

Fourteen children on a West<br />

with a van at the intersection of<br />

Halkett and Weedons Ross Rds<br />

about 3pm on Tuesday last week.<br />

Senior Sergeant Anna Lloyd<br />

introduction of an additional<br />

Saturdays, but after this had<br />

become “quite busy,” a new<br />

session of Tuesday 7.30-8.30pm<br />

Recruitment<br />

drive to bolster<br />

brigade numbers<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

VOLUNTEER FIRE brigades in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> are on a recruitment drive<br />

as they aim to bolster numbers.<br />

It comes as brigades have split<br />

into duty crews to get through the<br />

Omicron wave.<br />

Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand group manager <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />

Dave Berry, said last week only<br />

a small number of the about 220<br />

firefighters in the district had<br />

been infected with Covid-19,<br />

most likely helped by a system<br />

of having split into duty crews.<br />

There were 14 firefighters currently<br />

isolating with the virus.<br />

“We have been very lucky, I<br />

think it’s because we went into<br />

early planning with bubbles,”<br />

Berry said.<br />

In terms of firefighter numbers,<br />

Berry said while brigades in<br />

higher population areas such as<br />

Lincoln and Rolleston had waiting<br />

lists, some in smaller townships<br />

had more ongoing pressure<br />

as people moved in and out.<br />

The Southbridge and Leeston<br />

volunteer brigades are among<br />

those seeking new members.<br />

Southbridge chief Shane King<br />

said the brigade had 14 male<br />

members and one female. It<br />

ideally wanted another three or<br />

four.<br />

“We are just trying to futureproof<br />

our brigade,” King said.<br />

The brigade was looking for<br />

people keen to serve the community,<br />

who lived in or near the<br />

township.<br />

Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

has put a post on its Facebook<br />

page, asking people who are<br />

team players and eager to learn<br />

to direct message the brigade via<br />

the page.<br />

RETIRING Lincoln Volunteer<br />

Fire Brigade deputy chief Roger<br />

McLenaghen had a Covid-style<br />

send-off last week, after 43 years<br />

of service.<br />

The brigade has split into three<br />

duty crews in the latest Omicron<br />

outbreak to minimise the possibility<br />

of everyone becoming<br />

sick at once.<br />

But as determined as<br />

firefighters are to stay safe so<br />

they can respond to fire calls,<br />

they were just as determined to<br />

give their deputy chief a suitable<br />

send off.<br />

On Thursday night they gathered<br />

at the Lincoln Fire Station,<br />

while remaining isloated in their<br />

duty crew teams. McLenaghen’s<br />

team was in the fire station with<br />

him, with another team at the<br />

opposite end of the fire station,<br />

and the third outside the fire<br />

station.<br />

It was in this setting that<br />

McLenaghen was awarded his<br />

hat to keep, while incoming<br />

deputy chief Richie Bee was<br />

given a new hat. The honours<br />

were undertaken by Fire and<br />

Emergency New Zealand group<br />

manager <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Dave Berry.<br />

McLenaghen said it had been a<br />

nice surprise to be given his hat<br />

to keep, as he had been expecting<br />

to be awarding it to Bee.<br />

“It’s nice to think you can keep<br />

that as a memento,” he said.<br />

The farewell followed<br />

LIFE EXPERIENCE: Retiring Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief Roger<br />

McLenaghen has taken the good with the bad throughout his 43 years service.<br />

PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<br />

McLenaghen’s last fire call out,<br />

which had been only hours<br />

earlier. As the deputy chief had<br />

been dropping food and drinks<br />

to the station for the upcoming<br />

evening, the siren sounded about<br />

5pm.<br />

The call was to a minor<br />

kitchen fire, which McLenaghen<br />

and fellow firefighters quickly<br />

extinguished before using a large<br />

fan to extract smoke.<br />

McLenaghen said one of the<br />

highlights of belonging to the<br />

brigade had been the many “lifetime<br />

friends” he had made.<br />

The 65-year-old Lincoln<br />

University soil science tutor, who<br />

grew up at Killinchy near Leeston,<br />

said the brigade had also<br />

given him life experiences.<br />

“I have been fortunate to<br />

be part of the fire brigade, it’s<br />

quite an experience. You get<br />

to do lots of things you would<br />

never get to do in a normal walk<br />

of life, some good, some not so<br />

good, but you take the good with<br />

the bad.”<br />

The hardest times had been<br />

seeing young people and people<br />

he knew killed in car crashes.<br />

The best had been rescuing<br />

those dangerous situations, even<br />

animals such as cats up trees and<br />

ducklings down drains.<br />

“If someone dials 111, we<br />

respond.”<br />

A memorable callout of recent<br />

years had been rescuing four<br />

German freedom campers in<br />

2018, from the top of their vehicle<br />

which had been swept into<br />

a flooded <strong>Selwyn</strong> River at Coes<br />

Ford.<br />

The call summed up how<br />

rewarding it had been to belong<br />

to the brigade, as he and his<br />

family opened their home to the<br />

women and made sure they had<br />

everything they needed.<br />

The brigade is planning a more<br />

formal retirement function for<br />

McLenaghen, one befitting his<br />

long and dedicated service, once<br />

the worst of the pandemic is<br />

over.<br />

MIRIAM Dobson of Rolleston<br />

and her golden retriever Jaunty<br />

are basking in the glow of<br />

victory after being awarded the<br />

New Zealand Rally-O Grand<br />

Champion.<br />

Miriam, at the age of 84, is<br />

believed to be the oldest person<br />

in the country to have attained<br />

grand champion status in the<br />

discipline.<br />

Rally-O is a mix between<br />

agility and obedience which test<br />

dogs’ and handlers’ capabilities<br />

to perform a series of different<br />

exercises.<br />

Part of the contest includes<br />

combinations of turns, presents,<br />

finishes, changes of position,<br />

heeling around cones, halts,<br />

stays and jumps.<br />

Miriam said Jaunty’s good<br />

temperament had helped him<br />

put in his winning performance,<br />

as the pair ticked off the last of<br />

the required 50 double qualifying<br />

rounds, while at the Rally-O<br />

championship trial hosted by<br />

Mid Canterbury Dog Training<br />

Club last week.<br />

“It is not necessarily the most<br />

intelligent who win, it’s the dog<br />

that has the will to please, and a<br />

lot of people don’t realise that,”<br />

Miriam said.<br />

Miriam had herself had a part<br />

to play in Jaunty’s enthusiastic<br />

nature, having bred golden<br />

retrievers in the past. Jaunty was<br />

descended directly from a bitch<br />

she first bred from in 1969.<br />

“Temperament is the most important<br />

thing, and I have always<br />

bred for that,” Miriam said.<br />

“Jaunty is a useless guard<br />

dog, but you can trust him with<br />

anyone. He loves everybody,<br />

everybody is his friend.”<br />

Miriam has been a member<br />

of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog Training<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Club for about 10 years. She<br />

was a foundation member of<br />

the Southern Golden Retriever<br />

Club, and taught and competed<br />

in obedience for many years.<br />

“What keeps me going in<br />

this sport is the attitude of the<br />

people, fellow competitors, the<br />

encouragement, the camaraderie,<br />

they are just a wonderful<br />

bunch of people.”<br />

Dogs New Zealand director<br />

secretary Steven Thompson<br />

said the organisation did not<br />

keep age statistics of members,<br />

but believed Miriam was the<br />

oldest ever to achieve the<br />

Rally-O title.<br />

Is this really democracy?<br />

I was genuinely heartened as<br />

a ratepayer to read that 50 per<br />

cent of district councillors have<br />

openly declared their concerns<br />

about the Three Waters process<br />

(<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, March 30). Those<br />

district councillors need to be<br />

applauded. As elected members,<br />

they are reflecting concerns of<br />

their constituencies associated<br />

with these ill-informed, divisive<br />

and politically motivated<br />

reforms.<br />

The motion to join Communities<br />

4 Local Democracy, consisting<br />

of 32 out of 67 councils, was<br />

defeated by the mayor’s casting<br />

vote. That is a democratic process<br />

and no argument from me about<br />

that.<br />

However, there is some irony,<br />

in that the mayor has used the<br />

democratic process to defeat an<br />

opportunity to join a group with<br />

some real voice when dealing<br />

with central government, in<br />

turn, undemocratic approach to<br />

reforms.<br />

While district councillors<br />

rightly feel that they should not<br />

be fighting with the Government,<br />

a high percentage feel<br />

they need to do so to be heard. If<br />

not, who then do we,as ratepayers,<br />

turn to for our voices to be<br />

heard given that district council<br />

submissions to date have been<br />

largely ignored by the minister<br />

and officials; and given that<br />

credible representation via the<br />

conflicted and toothless Local<br />

Government New Zealand organisation<br />

is no longer an option.<br />

– Ian Lees, Darfield<br />

We believe <strong>Selwyn</strong> should<br />

definitely join the action group<br />

opposing Three Waters. This is<br />

legalising theft of our local assets.<br />

What is more, it is endorsing<br />

removing a democratic process.<br />

This coming election will be the<br />

first ever local body election (I<br />

am ashamed to say) that I will be<br />

voting in.<br />

Sam Broughton, should he be<br />

standing, will definitely not be<br />

on our list of choices, among<br />

others. The council should also<br />

oppose any mandate to chlorinate<br />

our water except where<br />

issues are occurring. – Anne and<br />

Gabe Bouterey, Prebbleton<br />

I think the council should join<br />

Communities 4 Local Democracy,<br />

and I think that our mayor<br />

should get the boot at the next<br />

local elections.<br />

We can’t have 15 per cent of<br />

the population making decisions,<br />

purportedly on our behalf,<br />

there is no democracy there. –<br />

William Nelson, West Melton<br />

Yes, the district council should<br />

join the Three Waters action<br />

group Communities 4 Local<br />

Democracy. – Tom Ferguson<br />

MORE THAN 60 Lincoln<br />

University staff and<br />

student volunteers are<br />

delivering breakfast, lunch<br />

and dinner to the doors of<br />

isolating students in halls<br />

and independent flats.<br />

Students are continuing<br />

to come down with Covid-19<br />

in the latest Omicron<br />

wave, following the university<br />

last week reporting it<br />

had recorded 361 Covid-19<br />

cases in staff and students<br />

from late February to mid-<br />

March.<br />

The university’s acting<br />

director of customer<br />

engagement and experience<br />

Jaime Shone said the<br />

volunteers were delivering<br />

an average of 120 meals per<br />

day. They were also creating<br />

and delivering care packs<br />

for students and checking<br />

on the students’ welfare.<br />

“Our workers are busy,<br />

but they’re loving being a<br />

part of the volunteer effort<br />

and helping people get<br />

through some very tough<br />

times,” Shone said.<br />

Vice-Chancellor Professor<br />

Grant Edwards said<br />

their efforts have been<br />

“inspirational and extraordinary”<br />

as the university<br />

faced the challenge of the<br />

Covid-19 pandemic, which<br />

was unprecedented in<br />

recent times.<br />

“We have a process in<br />

place to identify each new<br />

case, and our response<br />

World Travellers Rolleston<br />

Surviving the<br />

COVID storm<br />

As restrictions lift and the COVID<br />

storm begins to come to an end, you<br />

can detect an audible sigh of relief<br />

around the world. We can travel once<br />

again, families can reunite, we have our<br />

freedom again.<br />

For us here at World Travellers, the<br />

struggle has been all too real. No one<br />

saw it coming;<br />

how could the tap<br />

on travel be so<br />

abruptly turned<br />

off? There was no<br />

time for shock or<br />

worry. We had a job<br />

to do. Customers<br />

all over the world<br />

were panicking<br />

and desperate to<br />

return home. It<br />

was a scramble to<br />

reschedule fights<br />

and negotiate boarder restrictions of a<br />

kind never experienced before.<br />

Despite the odds stacked against<br />

us, where some shut up shop, we kept<br />

our doors open. We have ridden out<br />

the storm and grown as travel experts<br />

because of it. Back then our customers<br />

knew us as Helloworld Rolleston. As the<br />

dust settled and we moved into the new<br />

normal, we quickly realized that the<br />

Helloworld brand would not allow us to<br />

serve our customers as they deserved.<br />

Now you will know us as World<br />

Travellers Rolleston and we are excited<br />

to be moving to our new office very<br />

soon at 80 Rolleston Drive. The decision<br />

to rebrand has been about giving our<br />

customers more choice and allowing us<br />

the freedom to better serve their needs<br />

post COVID. We put our<br />

customers first, dedicated<br />

to bringing them the best<br />

service possible.<br />

We are still here and<br />

not going away anytime<br />

soon. The future is bright,<br />

changes are happening,<br />

and the world is yours<br />

once again.<br />

Youth MP for the electorate hosted a meeting, with <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Nicola<br />

including a lack of mental health funding, climate change and the<br />

degradation of natural resources, equality of race and gender, and<br />

lack of local public transport. They also discussed establishing local<br />

anti-bullying and anti-vaping initiatives.

Twenty Lincoln High School students<br />

rafted and biked from the West Coast<br />

back to their school. Teacher Kerri<br />

Loughhead was also on the trip, initiated<br />

by the non-profit Building Awesome<br />

Young Men project.<br />

She said it began with “a massive<br />

day of river crossings and boulder<br />

hopping” as they navigated their way<br />

through Deception Valley. Day two they<br />

descended from 1076m via the Mingah<br />

River, then crossing State Highway 73 to<br />

Greyneys Shelter.<br />

THey had tired bodies and heavy<br />

packs, but were enlivened by the<br />

experience.<br />

“Eating snowberries, diving into<br />

turquoise blue water and even spotting<br />

the native whio.”<br />

Rafting 59km down the Waimakariri<br />

River followed, then the journey ended<br />

with a 10km bike ride.<br />

“It was a massive but incredibly<br />

memorable journey for our young men<br />

to have accomplished. We couldn’t have<br />

asked for a better group to have taken on<br />

this adventure,” Loughhead said.<br />

THERE’S A new butterfly<br />

in town, but this one is a<br />

deliberate introduction<br />

for biological control of a<br />

significant weed species.<br />

I spotted the honshu<br />

white admiral (Limenitis<br />

glorifica) fluttering around<br />

our honeysuckle plant<br />

where it eventually landed.<br />

This butterfly was introduced<br />

to New Zealand<br />

for controlling japanese<br />

honeysuckle vine (Lonicera<br />

japonica), a serious<br />

environmental weed that<br />

can invade forest margins,<br />

shrublands, coastal areas,<br />

river systems, and wetland<br />

margins. It is more of a<br />

threat in warmer northern<br />

regions but is taking<br />

hold in areas around<br />

Canterbury, such as Banks<br />

Peninsula, as temperatures<br />

increase.<br />

The more commonly<br />

grown box or wilson’s honeysuckle<br />

(Lonicera nitida)<br />

is not attacked by the<br />

honshu white admiral.<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces<br />

a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His<br />

column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the<br />

variety of living things around us. Check out the full list<br />

of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/<br />

backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />

Butterfly a new arrival<br />

The butterfly is endemic<br />

to the Japanese island of<br />

Honshu and after extensive<br />

testing, was first released<br />

in Waikato in 2014.<br />

Male and female butterflies<br />

are similar looking,<br />

with black with white<br />

markings and a wingspan<br />

of 60mm. However, the<br />

underside of the wings are<br />

an orange-brown colour<br />

with white spots.<br />

The female lays a single<br />

yellow egg on honeysuckle<br />

leaf, but can lay between<br />

150 and 200 over its onemonth<br />

life. Larvae hatch<br />

from eggs after a week and<br />

assume a brown colour.<br />

As caterpillars grow, they<br />

change to a green colouration<br />

and develop 12 or so<br />

spikey brown protrusions<br />

on their bodies. Caterpillars<br />

will consume leaves<br />

and in large numbers can<br />

defoliate plants.<br />

It is early days yet, but it<br />

is hoped that this biocontrol<br />

species will significantly<br />

reduce honeysuckle<br />

here in New Zealand, as<br />

it does in Japan. The only<br />

other species here it has<br />

been successfully reared on<br />

is another significant weed<br />

species, the himalayan<br />

honeysuckle (Leycesteria<br />

formosa).<br />

Manaaki Whenua Landcare<br />

Research has been<br />

rearing these biocontrol<br />

beauties in captivity and<br />

found that the butterflies<br />

have a liking to the orange<br />

e2 energy drink.<br />

Keep an eye out for<br />

these butterflies and<br />

record their location on<br />

iNaturalist.

The ground is being laid for growing opportunities for year round sport in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

The shock pads and artificial grass turf has begun to be laid for two new artificial pitches at Foster<br />

Park. The pitches, which will primarily be used for hockey and football, are nearing completion, ready<br />

to open in May for the winter sports season.<br />

The turfs will provide latest generation all weather surfaces that will give more options for sports to be<br />

played and grow in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Council Acting Major Projects Manager Phil Millar says.<br />

“We are incredibly excited to soon have these two new facilities available to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> community<br />

– both are of a high quality – suitable to host a range of events and Tournaments from junior sport<br />

through to international matches, and both are built to stricter environmental requirements.”<br />

Waikirikiri Hockey Club and <strong>Selwyn</strong> United Football Club will be the primary users of the pitches,<br />

along with their regional bodies, which have primary responsibility for planning and administering their<br />

winter competitions.<br />

The additional hockey pitch will allow Waikirikiri Hockey Club to play at home, offer more teams and<br />

run further programmes.<br />

The football turf will help address a shortage of pitch space for <strong>Selwyn</strong> United FC – one of the South<br />

Island’s largest football clubs – providing the equivalent playing and training time of five grass pitches<br />

and with markings for all age groups and grades to use.<br />

While hockey and football will mainly use the fields during evenings and Saturdays during the peak<br />

winter season, the turfs will be available for hire to general users – providing opportunities to wider<br />

sports and community groups. Priority will be given to local schools, sports trusts and other potential<br />

clubs and users, Mr Millar says.<br />

“The high quality, hard-wearing nature of the surfaces, provides our whole community with<br />

the opportunity to experience the benefits of using an artificial surface. If people adhere to the<br />

maintenance and use requirements, these surfaces can be used for a range of less formal games and<br />

activities when the weather doesn’t allow for the use of grass surfaces, or where the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports<br />

Centre may not meet their needs.”<br />

The month-long Learn Earn Grow <strong>Selwyn</strong> series saw<br />

26 events held covering a wide variety of skills, training<br />

and support for businesses, employees and people<br />

looking for employment.<br />

Over 100 people took part in the events, despite<br />

Covid forcing 10 events to be cancelled. The Council<br />

is planning to hold some of these events – including<br />

the sold out four part Hiwa Wahine series of inspiring<br />

women sharing their career journey.<br />

A range of online seminars, workshops, information<br />

sessions and employment opportunities were on offer, covering session from starting a business to<br />

supporting new migrants and those employing new migrants, business growth and marketing.<br />

The Council teamed up with employment and business agencies and groups ranging from IRD to Citizens<br />

Advice Bureau, the Canterbury Employers Chamber of Commerce, Xero accounting and local businesses.<br />

Learn Earn Grow <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the latest in a series of events the Council has been running, working with<br />

businesses, employees and those looking for work, Council Group Manager Community Services and<br />

Facilities Denise Kidd say.<br />

“This was the culmination of a long-process talking with the community about how we as Council can best<br />

support <strong>Selwyn</strong> business and we’re delighted with how things. It was a challenging time to be running<br />

events and our staff and partners put a huge amount of work in to making it happen. We’ll be looking at<br />

how it went, what went well and what we can improve and looking to build on this for the future.”<br />

There are views of the district we are familiar with: the birds eye view of gridded plains, sunsets<br />

people of this community and how do they choose to portray this place?<br />

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

Photography a step<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

EVEN though he loves<br />

online car racing video<br />

games, 14-year-old<br />

Rolleston College<br />

student Nathan Heney has<br />

more fun photographing<br />

the real thing.<br />

It all began when he got<br />

his first camera at age 10,<br />

and started snapping photos<br />

of what was happening<br />

around him.<br />

A couple of years later<br />

he was able to buy his first<br />

proper Canon DSLR<br />

camera, but found he<br />

wasn’t that keen on just<br />

photographing trees and<br />

buildings.<br />

“I didn’t find that very<br />

interesting at all, because<br />

basically I wasn’t very good<br />

at it, but I had always loved<br />

cars, so I decided to take<br />

up car photography and<br />

try that out,” he said.<br />

Nathan went along with<br />

his family to a few cars<br />

shows and events, and<br />

soon developed a passion<br />

for car photography.<br />

From those initial<br />

beginnings, this self-taught<br />

photographer quickly<br />

developed his style of car<br />

photograph. He learned<br />

from his mistakes and<br />

THROUGH THE LENS: One of Nathan Heney’s<br />

favourite cars is a BMW M3 (top). He has also<br />

photographed a Ferrari.<br />

built up a strong following<br />

for his craft online.<br />

“The first people I ever<br />

asked to photograph their<br />

cars were a very nice car<br />

dealership, they liked the<br />

photos and put them up on<br />

their Instagram account,”<br />

Nathan said.<br />

“I was pretty happy with<br />

that as it was a big deal for<br />

me because I was just 12<br />

years old. But I wanted to<br />

do more individual car and<br />

motorsport photography,”<br />

he said.<br />

He started shooting at<br />

Ruapuna every weekend<br />

during the motor racing<br />

season.<br />

NEWS 21<br />

“I took lots of photos and built<br />

up a good following on my Instagram<br />

account,” he said.<br />

“I found a supercar group<br />

here in Christchurch and posted<br />

on their Facebook site asking<br />

if anyone would like their car<br />

photographed.<br />

“A few people messaged me<br />

back and I went on my first photoshoot<br />

with them, taking photos<br />

of a BMW M3, my favourite car.<br />

“I was so surprised how well<br />

the photos came out,” he said.<br />

“Then the owners’ friend contacted<br />

me and asked me to shoot<br />

his Lamborghini.”<br />

Whenever he gets stuck, he<br />

seeks fatherly advice from father<br />

David Heney, or contacts car<br />

and motorsport photographers<br />

online.<br />

“When I get to shoot a Lamborghini,<br />

I go to pages online to<br />

see what the car looks good in,<br />

and what locations suit it, then I<br />

might message other Kiwi-based<br />

car photographers for advice such<br />

as Brad Longworth of Auckland<br />

and Jack Morgan – Shots by Jack,<br />

of Christchurch. They’re all very<br />

helpful,” he said.<br />

He said his friends think it’s<br />

cool that he gets to shoot exotic<br />

cars.<br />

At school on Mondays, they<br />

gather around to see all the<br />

new photos he has shot over the<br />

weekend.<br />

PASSION: Fourteen-year-old Rolleston College student<br />

Nathan Heney enjoys photographing cars.<br />

PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE ​<br />

“People come up and say my<br />

photos are good.”<br />

His best shoot was the Lamborghini<br />

Huracan.<br />

“I went into the Port Hills, and<br />

took it to different twisty road<br />

sections, it was a very wet day<br />

which made the car look so much<br />

better.”<br />

On the attraction between cars<br />

and photography, Nathan said<br />

he loves being able to take photos<br />

and capture incredible cars, especially<br />

in motorsport.<br />

“I am constantly looking<br />

around for people photos in pit<br />

lane, and the cars on the track,”<br />

he said.<br />

“My favourite cars are a nicely<br />

built BMW M3, a Nissan Sylvia<br />

S15 and a Lamborghini Aventador<br />

SVJ.<br />

Being only 14 years old and<br />

unable to drive, Nathan said his<br />

family help drive him to locations<br />

for his car shoots.<br />

“Sometimes they get up early<br />

to get me to the places so I can<br />

shoot at sunrise, then they leave<br />

me with the drivers, and we go<br />

off and shoot the cars.<br />

“The drivers then drop me back<br />

home later in the day.”<br />

He said he can’t wait to<br />

get his licence and plans to<br />

pursue a career in both car<br />

and motorsport photography<br />

and would love to be able to<br />

photograph a formula one car<br />

racing.<br />

​Life after rugby: Kieran Read on dad-life<br />

• By Kris Shannon<br />

IN THE year since he retired<br />

from rugby, Kieran Read has not<br />

lifted a weight or entered a gym.<br />

Rather than grappling for a<br />

loose ball in a ruck, he wrestles<br />

with his three kids on the trampoline,<br />

and instead of a week<br />

peaking on the field, his happy<br />

place is mowing the lawn.<br />

If it sounds like Read is living<br />

post-rugby life as a typical Kiwi<br />

dad, there’s a reason for that.<br />

The 36-year-old will tell you<br />

that’s who he has long been – just<br />

one who won two World Cups<br />

then captained the All Blacks 52<br />

times.<br />

But with those feats disappearing<br />

further in the rear-view<br />

mirror, triumphs of which every<br />

other Kiwi dad can only dream,<br />

Read’s new routine is much more<br />

familiar.<br />

“It’s based around my family,”<br />

he says on the Between Two<br />

Beers podcast, midway through<br />

an ordinary Wednesday. “I got<br />

the kids ready for school and<br />

went for a run and then just did a<br />

little bit of work.<br />

“I took my wife out for lunch,<br />

and then the kids get home from<br />

school and you’re basically wrestling<br />

on the tramp and running<br />

around outside.”<br />

Running, after kids or otherwise,<br />

is one activity Read has<br />

continued since playing his final<br />

game for Japanese side Toyota<br />

Verblitz last May.<br />

While he held antipathy towards<br />

both fitness and gym work<br />

during a 16-year professional<br />

career, Read still needed to funnel<br />

his athletic urges somewhere<br />

other than the backyard.<br />

“I have not set foot in a gym,<br />

I have not picked up a weight or<br />

a dumbbell or anything since I<br />

retired,” Read says. “You had to<br />

do it for so long – for your career<br />

and your body and to perform<br />

like you had to, you had to work<br />

hard in the gym.<br />

“And it was okay, but I didn’t<br />

enjoy it as much as some of the<br />

other parts of what you’re doing<br />

as a rugby player. So I kind of<br />

stopped.<br />

“I never thought I’d go running<br />

because I hated running,<br />

too. But I started running as<br />

being my buzz and to keep fit<br />

and more to just clear the mind,<br />

really.”<br />

FAMILY TIME: Kieran Read with his children at Tokyo Stadium after his final test for the All<br />

Blacks in the bronze medal play-off game with Wales at the 2019 World Cup. Earlier that<br />

year it was a fond farewell to Christchurch after he led the Crusaders to a Super Rugby<br />

title victory over the Jaguares.<br />

Nothing will clear the mind,<br />

Read found late last year, like<br />

hitting the wall halfway through<br />

a 55km run.<br />

The formidable loose forward<br />

has shed almost 15kg from his<br />

playing weight of 110kg, putting<br />

him in the right shape to face<br />

some demons while running the<br />

iconic Old Ghost Rd track.<br />

“I definitely didn’t run the<br />

whole way. There were some dark<br />

patches,” Read says. “I’d run 20k<br />

before it – that was the furthest<br />

I’d run in one attempt. Then you<br />

turn up for this Old Ghost Rd and<br />

it’s pretty hilly and pretty tough<br />

and, man, she’s a tough gig.<br />

“Thirty K in, I was feeling all<br />

right, then suddenly hit the wall<br />

and went through about 10k of<br />

demons. It was tough but, after<br />

about seven or eight hours, I got<br />

to the end and it was fulfilling to<br />

get done. It scratched an itch.”<br />

The next chance to satiate<br />

those urges will be a 12-hour<br />

running-and-biking event in<br />

Kaikōura. But while he enjoys<br />

the adventure races and idyllic<br />

family life and blessedly painfree<br />

mornings, Read is well<br />

aware how different post-rugby<br />

life can be.<br />

When Carl Hayman played the<br />

last of his 46 tests in 2007, Read<br />

was a year away from starting his<br />

ALL BLACK: Kieran Read watches on from the sideline at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium after injury ruled him out of<br />

playing England in 2014. He started his 127-test career against Scotland at Murrayfield in 2008 with fellow new caps<br />

Liam Messam (left) and Jamie Mackintosh.<br />

128-test tenure, the third-most<br />

appearances in All Blacks history.<br />

The pair’s retirements have<br />

been divergent, too, and Read<br />

was as saddened as any rugby<br />

fan when Hayman late last year<br />

revealed his struggles with earlyonset<br />

dementia.<br />

The number of contact-sport<br />

athletes who can empathise with<br />

Hayman is alarmingly high,<br />

an uncomfortable reality only<br />

becoming clearer as awareness<br />

grows about the long-term effects<br />

of head knocks.<br />

And Read, who suffered a prolonged<br />

battle with concussions in<br />

2014, shortly after being named<br />

the best player in the world, is<br />

among them.<br />

“You see the studies that are<br />

coming out and see Carl Hayman<br />

in the media and it’s hard<br />

not to get a little bit worried<br />

about those things, knowing that<br />

you’ve been through this.”<br />

Read’s own story has a happier<br />

ending, even if eight years on<br />

recalling that period engenders<br />

the opposite feeling.<br />

The afternoon entertainment<br />

of the trampoline was then a<br />

source of pain, headaches the result<br />

of watching his kids bounce<br />

up and down. Scanning the road<br />

while driving a short distance<br />

was the same.<br />

Before the problem was pinpointed<br />

as a balance issue, Read<br />

couldn’t help but be troubled by<br />

what all those hits might have<br />

done to his health.<br />

“It was one of the toughest<br />

times of my career – more leading<br />

up to when I figured out that<br />

it wasn’t my brain,” Read says.<br />

“I went and did these tests and I<br />

couldn’t even stand on one foot, I<br />

was so out of whack.<br />

“It was scary and you question<br />

a lot in that time – I know a lot<br />

of guys who have had serious<br />

concussions. For two months I<br />

was essentially feeling like shit<br />

because you do these tests and<br />

all these exercises and it makes<br />

you worse. It makes your f*****g<br />

head ache.<br />

“I was still playing – I probably<br />

shouldn’t have, looking back –<br />

because I was like, it’s not my<br />

brain, I can do it. I’d be in training<br />

and pop my head out of a<br />

maul and not know where I was.”<br />

With the assistance of doctors,<br />

psychiatric counselling and<br />

vestibular rehabilitation therapy,<br />

the issue eventually was resolved.<br />

One morning, Read woke up and<br />

felt normal again.<br />

But he naturally has some<br />

concerns about what the future<br />

may hold, heartened by the fact<br />

he’s not alone and keen to extend<br />

that comfort to others, no matter<br />

how upsetting the topic can be.<br />

“I was very wary after that,<br />

but I was pretty lucky that I<br />

didn’t have too many major head<br />

knocks,” Read says. “I’ve done<br />

everything I could – I never went<br />

back after a concussion straight<br />

away, and I did all the protocols<br />

and was well looked after.<br />

“The thing is, when you talk<br />

about it, it puts you back into<br />

that moment, that pretty dark<br />

space, because you are touching<br />

on that whole anxious time and<br />

living a life that’s pretty tough<br />

to live.<br />

“So that’s the hardest bit,<br />

when you’re transported back to<br />

those feelings. But I’m happy to<br />

talk about it and just make sure<br />

people do the right thing, which<br />

is listening to the experts and<br />

taking the time.”<br />

Any teammate who has played<br />

under Read will recognise his approach<br />

to what can seem a taboo<br />

subject in modern rugby.<br />

Of course he’s happy to talk<br />

about it; Read built his captaincy<br />

on connecting with his charges,<br />

building relationships, and talking<br />

about anything and everything<br />

that would make the team<br />

marginally better.<br />

That chat started at a young<br />

age, but not on the rugby field.<br />

“I captained cricket teams<br />

when I was growing up but I<br />

never had confidence in a rugby<br />

environment,” he recalls. “I was<br />

always listening and learning<br />

and picking up stuff in the different<br />

teams I was involved in,<br />

but I was never one to voice any<br />

opinions or speak up.

​and head knocks<br />

“But you realise you pick up what it<br />

takes to have a relationship and understanding<br />

different cultures and what it<br />

means for these guys.”<br />

That was particularly true when Read<br />

- who until 18 considered himself a<br />

stronger cricket prospect - played rugby<br />

for Counties Manukau at age-group level.<br />

Having grown up in “a special part of<br />

the world”, Read progressed from Papakura’s<br />

Rosehill College to the provincial<br />

team, where his experiences as one of<br />

the few Pākehā kids shaped the man he<br />

would become.<br />

“It’s a little bit tough for this white guy<br />

to turn up and try to play<br />

with them, especially<br />

when they start speaking<br />

Tongan or Fijian on the<br />

field,” Read says. “I just<br />

had to try and keep up,<br />

but it was a lot of fun.<br />

“It was pretty cool to experience that<br />

culture and get a grasp for it. Growing up<br />

in South Auckland, it shaped who I was<br />

going to be as a leader and how I interact<br />

with different people.”<br />

It will come as no surprise, then, that<br />

Read - once school drop-off duties are<br />

out of the way - is now spending his spare<br />

time forging a new career focused on<br />

leadership.<br />

Whether it’s captain of a first XV<br />

or chief executive of a business, Read<br />

believes many leaders are thrown in the<br />

deep end, and he has invaluable knowledge<br />

to keep them from sinking.<br />

“You get hung out to dry a little bit<br />

when you get named captain,” he says.<br />

“There’s not too many tools to help you.<br />

So I’m hoping to launch that soon and really<br />

help that next generation of leader.”<br />

Ask him the most pivotal aspect of<br />

leadership and, again, it’s all talk.<br />

“Accountability is probably one of the<br />

hardest things to have as a leader,” Read<br />

says.<br />

“You’re trying to have that hard conversation<br />

with your mate, saying: ‘Hey,<br />

you’re not pulling your weight here, we<br />

need you’, which is really hard to do.<br />

“It means being able to be a bit uncomfortable<br />

there. You work yourself up a<br />

bit before you do it but it’s an important<br />

I’d be in training and pop<br />

my head out of a maul<br />

and not know where I<br />

was.<br />

– Kieran Read<br />

conversation to have.<br />

“The way I led was that I hoped people<br />

would then hold me accountable, because<br />

there’s a connection and they understand<br />

that I’m doing it to them because of a bigger<br />

picture. I think that’s the important<br />

thing – if what you’re saying is going to<br />

help the team and put the team first, then<br />

it has to be said.”<br />

It hardly needs to be said that sport still<br />

flows through Read’s blood. Although<br />

he’s avoided the gym, running is far from<br />

the only athletic pursuit in his household.<br />

Read’s five-year-old son Reuben has yet<br />

to venture much further than the trampoline,<br />

but daughters<br />

Elle and Eden play touch,<br />

netball, basketball and<br />

hockey.<br />

“My wife’s not too<br />

happy,” Read laughs,<br />

“because when I’m away<br />

she’s got to ship them around everywhere<br />

for training.”<br />

Elle, his eldest, has also taken to<br />

cricket, just in time to offer her dad some<br />

crucial practice in the backyard.<br />

Read certainly looked well trained<br />

when he smashed 84 from 55 balls after<br />

opening the batting for Team Rugby in<br />

January’s Black Clash. But that knock did<br />

feature some nervy moments.<br />

Particularly, he remembers, when<br />

facing Shane Bond, who at 46 remains a<br />

few clicks faster than Read’s 11-year-old<br />

daughter.<br />

“If you love cricket, you love watching<br />

Shane Bond play,” Read says. “Growing<br />

up, that was one of my heroes, and suddenly<br />

you get the opportunity to face<br />

him.<br />

“I flew up with him from Christchurch,<br />

so we went for coffee and had a good<br />

yarn. I just thought I’d butter him up so<br />

when I did face him, maybe he wouldn’t<br />

send it down too hard.<br />

“Then, lo and behold – first ball,<br />

bouncer straight at the head. I was like:<br />

‘What’s happening?’”<br />

A year after leaving behind rugby and<br />

beginning the rest of his life, a content<br />

Read is more than satisfied with the<br />

answer to that question.<br />

– NZ Herald<br />

• By Jonny Turner<br />

AN ALREADY epic<br />

harness racing journey<br />

continued when Regan<br />

Todd trained his 200th<br />

New Zealand winner at<br />

Rangiora on Sunday.<br />

Todd brought up the<br />

milestone in style with Play<br />

Philly and Stac completing<br />

a race-to-race double.<br />

The trainer admitted he<br />

is living a harness racing<br />

dream that has some of its<br />

earliest beginnings back<br />

in his home province of<br />

Southland.<br />

“Back in Wyndham I<br />

used to jump the fence at<br />

school a lot,” Todd said.<br />

“I would have the old<br />

school bag on and I would<br />

jump the fence to go help<br />

Snow (McLellan).”<br />

Somewhat ironically, it<br />

is a win that doesn’t count<br />

among his 200 that rates as<br />

one of the most important<br />

in Todd’s career.<br />

The trainer has a twofrom-two<br />

unbeaten record<br />

in Australia, with Show<br />

Gait scoring the trainer’s<br />

first Group One success in<br />

the latest of those.<br />

“That sort of got the ball<br />

rolling for us that horse.<br />

“Mark and Nat have<br />

been great supporters and<br />

that win sort of put us on<br />

the map.”<br />

Todd notched his first<br />

CHAMP: Regan Todd<br />

trained his 200th New<br />

Zealand winner at<br />

Rangiora on Sunday.<br />

Group One win in New<br />

Zealand a matter of weeks<br />

ago and naturally it rates<br />

very highly among the<br />

highlights in his 200<br />

victories on home soil.<br />

“Better Talk Art winning<br />

the Group One was a huge<br />

thrill.<br />

“We have been pretty<br />

lucky to win some big<br />

races.<br />

“The Southland Oaks<br />

last year was a pretty big<br />

thrill, I quite enjoyed that.<br />

“Especially because I am<br />

from down there.<br />

“We were second in the<br />

Southern Supremacy too,<br />

so it was a good day.”<br />

GOOD BET:<br />

Stac wins<br />

for Regan<br />

Todd to<br />

complete a<br />

race-to-race<br />

double in<br />

on Sunday.<br />

this year’s Southland Oaks<br />

final.<br />

Her victory in the<br />

Rangiora 3YO Stakes<br />

shows she is right on<br />

track for her Group Two<br />

tilt.<br />

“It worked out perfect,<br />

she hadn’t had a run for a<br />

while and it was a bit like a<br />

trial for her.”<br />

“She has done a great<br />

job.”<br />

Play Philly will head<br />

to the paddock after the<br />

Southland Oaks with the<br />

big fillies races later this<br />

year in Todd’s mind.<br />

“Her programme is<br />

to have another run in a<br />

fortnight to top her off for<br />

the Southland Oaks.<br />

“After she goes down<br />

there, she will be going to<br />

the paddock.<br />

“Then we will bring her<br />

back and hopefully have<br />

her right for the big races<br />

later in the season.”<br />

Friday Night Lights open up playing options<br />

and numbers for Canterbury Rugby Clubs.<br />

It’s a phenomenon in America and<br />

now it’s hitting the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District,<br />

with Friday Night Lights now<br />

a staple in the Ellesmere Rugby<br />

calendar for Division 3, providing<br />

opportunities for a number of<br />

players to stay in the game.<br />

The ability to play under lights<br />

has helped several grades keep the<br />

fixture list in check, with the Luisetti<br />

Seeds Ellesmere Division 1 set to be<br />

played at Easter.<br />

For the teams competing in the<br />

Division 3 competition, playing<br />

on a Friday night provides an ideal<br />

setting in which to stay connected to<br />

the game, allowing the fathers, the<br />

coaches and those that combine both<br />

to still utilise their Saturday’s as they<br />

choose.<br />

As Lincoln Club Captain Andrew<br />

Clayton says, this provides an<br />

opportunity for all to come down to<br />

the club and get immersed in the club<br />

rugby atmosphere.<br />

“Having the lights on when we play<br />

on a Friday night,” said Clayton, “it<br />

allows the kids to come down and<br />

run around, the spectators to come<br />

down, watch some footy from the<br />

club and the players to play in an<br />

inviting, family environment.”<br />

“It’s got to the point where our<br />

Division 3 team insists on playing on<br />

a Friday night so that they can still<br />

play around their commitments.”<br />

Clayton said.<br />

As a result, a large number of the<br />

Division 3 players are able to commit<br />

time back to the game, with many of<br />

the group fathers and subsequently<br />

coaches of their children’s teams.<br />

“I’d say a third to a half of the players<br />

would coach on a Saturday, and if<br />

they don’t, they all have young kids<br />

so they’re involved anyway.”<br />

For the last three years, the grade has<br />

shifted to nearly all games taking<br />

place on a Friday, something that is<br />

now being utilised by a number of<br />

grades, especially in pre-season.<br />

“Next Friday night, we’ll have three<br />

games under lights, with most teams<br />

loving the opportunity to play under<br />

lights.” said Clayton.<br />

Friday Night Lights at Lincoln RFC<br />

“From the club perspective, having<br />

the club open on a Friday night<br />

allows us to keep the club afloat and it<br />

provides that hub for our community<br />

to enjoy a nice, relaxed atmosphere<br />

and some footy.”<br />

If Saturdays don’t suit, there’s<br />

an option for everyone to stay<br />

involved in rugby, contact your<br />

local club to enquire about these<br />

options today!

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Weather and climate change<br />

prominent in council plans<br />

The impacts of climate change are evident in<br />

some of the extreme weather events we have<br />

seen over the last year, Environment Canterbury<br />

(ECan) says.<br />

In late May 2021, Canterbury experienced<br />

significant rainfall that led to widespread<br />

flooding, which had devastating impacts across<br />

the region. A regional state of emergency<br />

was declared, and support was mobilised for<br />

communities who were dealing with the damage.<br />

That event impacted regional infrastructure<br />

– main roading links in particular – as well as<br />

personal property, and did damage to the flood<br />

protection system (External link) that we have<br />

in place along the river. The extent of the impact<br />

was such that central government has pledged<br />

funds to support the rebuild of flood protection,<br />

and we need to fund our share.<br />

ECan has been calling for public feedback on<br />

council funding for dealing with weather events<br />

like May 2021.<br />

By carrying out flood protection work quickly,<br />

the region will recover faster and land, homes<br />

and communities will be protected from future<br />

events, the council says.<br />

Because of the regional significance of the<br />

May 2021 flood, the Government’s National<br />

Emergency Management Agency (External link)<br />

have committed to co-fund about $7.5 million<br />

of the recovery work. The total for the recovery<br />

work is estimated to be almost $20 million.<br />

“We need to fund our share - $12.2 million.<br />

We are proposing to borrow this money over<br />

two years, with repayments being met through<br />

a general rate. By borrowing $6.1 million in<br />

<strong>2022</strong>/3 and $6.1 million in 2023/24 and repaying<br />

through general rates over the next ten years,<br />

the costs are spread across the region over an<br />

extended period,” ECan says.<br />

Recognising that “climate change is the issue of<br />

our time”, ECan is also proposing a future levy to<br />

fund responses.<br />

“We are seeing increasingly frequent flooding,<br />

storms, fires and droughts, as well as melting ice<br />

sheets, sea level rise and changes to coastlines.<br />

Scientists and governments agree that we need to<br />

take urgent action now,” the council says.<br />

The levy would not be included in ECan’s<br />

Annual Plan <strong>2022</strong>/23. However, ECan says if<br />

a levy is supported, it would “work with the<br />

community to develop funding principles and<br />

prioritise initiatives”.<br />

“As a country, our greenhouse gases emissions<br />

are increasing. We want Canterbury/Waitaha<br />

to be resilient to the climate change impacts<br />

and extreme weather events that we are already<br />

seeing and to reduce further impacts by lowering<br />

greenhouse gas emissions.” We all have a part to<br />

play in this, ECan says. “As the regional council<br />

we want to ensure we can support you and your<br />

communities, by taking action that will shape<br />

Canterbury now and in the future.”<br />

Council rates take explained<br />

Environment Canterbury (ECan) is<br />

proposing a total of $264.02 million of<br />

activities in <strong>2022</strong>/23. If the preferred bus<br />

fare option of targeted fare-free transport<br />

is supported about 60% of total revenue<br />

will come from rates. The rates revenue<br />

required will be less if a different option is<br />

selected, the council says.<br />

ECan’s proposed draft Annual is based<br />

on Year 2 of the Long-Term Plan 2021–31,<br />

which the council adopted in June last<br />

year.<br />

Priorities for the next decade are<br />

freshwater management, climate<br />

change resilience, emissions reduction,<br />

pest control, and the regeneration of<br />

Income and sources of funding<br />

ECan activities are funded from a combination of rates,<br />

grants, user pays and other income (see table below).<br />

biodiversity. Other major work areas<br />

include building community engagement<br />

and sharing collected information<br />

and data to improve transparency and<br />

decision-making.<br />

“The Long-Term Plan highlights the<br />

breadth of our work from meeting new<br />

statutory requirements and Government<br />

legislation to taking transformational<br />

opportunities for the environment,” ECan<br />

says.<br />

The council says relatively high<br />

increases in total rates revenue in the<br />

2021/22 and <strong>2022</strong>/23 years it its Long<br />

Term Plan “stemmed from the need to<br />

meet new statutory requirements and<br />

respond to the priorities identified by<br />

stakeholders and the community during<br />

consultation.”<br />

During consultation on the plan,<br />

concerns were raised about the ongoing<br />

impact on rates, especially with increasing<br />

financial pressures and the economic<br />

uncertainties linked to the Covid-19<br />

pandemic.<br />

“Last year we addressed affordability<br />

concerns by borrowing and amending<br />

the scale or timing of our activities in<br />

2021/22 to restrict the rates rise to 12.6%.<br />

While this reduced the total rates revenue<br />

required in 2021/22, the result was an<br />

18.8% increase in the coming financial<br />

year (<strong>2022</strong>/23).”<br />

Borrowing can be used to spread the<br />

cost of an activity with benefits that<br />

last longer than the repayment period.<br />

“By borrowing in 2021/22 to support<br />

development of a new freshwater<br />

regulatory framework we reduced rates<br />

revenue in that year, although repayments<br />

will have some impact on rates for the<br />

next nine years,” ECan says.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Get ready to collect falling leaves<br />

LEAVES ON deciduous trees are<br />

beginning to colour and towards<br />

the end of the month there is<br />

always the possibility of an early<br />

frost.<br />

A busy month in the garden<br />

with many tasks to be completed<br />

before the onset of winter.<br />

Vegetable garden<br />

Harvest the last of the summer<br />

vegetables. Prepare and plant the<br />

winter vegetable garden with the<br />

following – broad beans, broccoli,<br />

Brussel sprouts, cabbages,<br />

cauliflower, onions, silver beet<br />

and spinach. To ensure healthy,<br />

vigorous growth of your winter<br />

vegetables, prepare the soil thoroughly<br />

by adding fresh compost.<br />

Stagger plantings to guarantee<br />

continuous harvesting, rather<br />

than having crops all maturing<br />

at once. Where there are empty<br />

beds, sow a green manure crop<br />

such as mustard or lupins, that<br />

can be dug into the soil in late<br />

winter/early spring. This protects<br />

the soil over winter and adds<br />

organic matter and nutrients back<br />

into the soil.<br />

Flowering annuals<br />

Late autumn flowering annuals<br />

are now finishing flowering<br />

and can be removed. Add fresh<br />

compost to the existing soil and<br />

plant winter flowering annuals<br />

including aquilegia, alyssum,<br />

SEASONS: Rich red and<br />

brown colours indicate the<br />

onset of autumn, leaves<br />

make good mulch. It’s also<br />

time to dig up those empty<br />

beds for winter planting.<br />

calendulas, cineraria’s, cornflower,<br />

lobelias, nemesia, pansies, stock,<br />

sweet william, and violas.<br />

Strawberries<br />

<strong>April</strong> and May are the main<br />

months for planting new strawberry<br />

plants. Prepare new strawberry<br />

‘beds’ by adding compost to<br />

the existing soil, as strawberries<br />

grow best in a ‘rich’ soil. Create<br />

mounds 200mm above the<br />

existing soil and plant strawberry<br />

plants spaced 120-150mm apart.<br />

‘Mounding’ the soil improves<br />

drainage, and the soil warms up<br />

quicker in spring.<br />

Fruit trees<br />

The last of the apples such<br />

as granny smith, can now be<br />

harvested. All pip and stone<br />

fruit trees will benefit from a late<br />

autumn ‘clean up’ fungicide spray<br />

of a copper compound, this is<br />

especially important for peach<br />

and nectarine trees. Delay pruning<br />

until all the leaves have fallen,<br />

to allow for a better overview of<br />

a tree’s framework. Both feijoas<br />

and kiwifruit can be harvested in<br />

<strong>April</strong>. Let feijoas mature on the<br />

plant and fall to the ground where<br />

they can be collected.<br />

Rose care<br />

Late blooming roses such<br />

as iceberg, will still be flowering<br />

freely, while most bush and<br />

climbing roses are in their last<br />

month of flowering. Collect all<br />

fallen leaves to reduce next seasons<br />

infection of rust and black<br />

spot. Mulch with fresh compost.<br />

In the herb garden<br />

The last month to collect fresh<br />

herb leaves to dry and store for<br />

use in winter. Over winter it may<br />

be more convenient to grow herbs<br />

in containers in a sunny spot near<br />

the kitchen.<br />

Lawns<br />

Time to renovate existing lawns<br />

or sow new ones (early <strong>April</strong>). As<br />

with many aspects of horticulture,<br />

preparation is critical for success<br />

in developing a new lawn. When<br />

importing new soil, where<br />

possible, ensure it is weed free.<br />

Sow generous amounts of grass<br />

seed and maintain moisture<br />

levels on the germinating seed.<br />

With existing lawns, apply lawn<br />

fertiliser to promote strong,<br />

healthy growth.<br />

Container gardens<br />

Containers are useful for providing<br />

colour and interest over<br />

the winter months. Flowering<br />

annuals thrive in containers and<br />

brighten decks and entrances.<br />

Winter vegetables such as lettuce,<br />

spring onions and spinach can<br />

also be grown in reasonable sized<br />

containers. Always use fresh<br />

container mix when planting a<br />

new ‘crop.’<br />

House plant care<br />

When choosing new house<br />

plants, always consider the shape,<br />

habit, texture and colouring of<br />

your new plants. Other important<br />

factors are the temperature,<br />

humidity, and light in a home<br />

over the winter months. Remember<br />

days are shorter in winter<br />

and some plants may need to be<br />

shifted closer to windows. Watering<br />

can be reduced in the cooler<br />

months using lukewarm water.<br />

Stop fertiliser applications as it<br />

is only beneficial during periods<br />

of active growth (early spring to<br />

early autumn).<br />

Fun and exercise<br />

all year round<br />

GARDENING 31<br />

Give plants a chance to get established<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

AUTUMN IS a treasured<br />

planting season offering ideal<br />

temperature and more instances<br />

of rain.<br />

It is cool enough for gardeners<br />

to work in the garden and yet<br />

warm enough for plants to get<br />

established before winter.<br />

Garden maintenance<br />

• Keep weeds out and feed<br />

citrus plants.<br />

• Prepare your lawn for winter.<br />

• Watch out for garden slugs.<br />

• Harvest the remaining summer<br />

crops.<br />

• Prepare garden beds, add<br />

compost, potting mix, and some<br />

fertiliser.<br />

Let’s look into more things to<br />

do in the garden in <strong>April</strong>.<br />

Edible garden<br />

Beetroot, silverbeet, brassicas<br />

(broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage,<br />

etc) and celery are good to plant<br />

at this time of the year.<br />

Beetroot is a versatile choice,<br />

highly nutritious and also delicious.<br />

It can be used in many<br />

beautiful dishes or enjoyed on its<br />

own. You may also want to try<br />

growing peas, generally loved by<br />

many and also a good source of<br />

nutrients.<br />

Many gardeners use the staggered<br />

planting technique to ensure<br />

that they have a continuous<br />

crop throughout winter. Plant<br />

vegetable seedlings every 10-14<br />

days so they mature and yield<br />

fruits at different times.<br />

If you have limited garden bed<br />

space, consider planting slowergrowing<br />

vegetable varieties like<br />

red cabbage next to fast-growing<br />

ones like lettuces.<br />

This maximises the valuable<br />

garden spaces and allows the gardener<br />

to harvest the lettuce leaves<br />

as they grow while waiting for the<br />

other vegetables to mature.<br />

Some gardeners also consider<br />

thinning their carrots in autumn.<br />

To thin, start removing those<br />

that are growing too close to each<br />

other.<br />

Carrots need to be spaced<br />

about 2cm apart to grow. Pick out<br />

the ones that are the size of baby<br />

carrots.<br />

These are quite sweet and good<br />

for roasting or raw snacks.<br />

Make sure to firm the soil<br />

around the remaining carrot<br />

plants. This practice helps reduce<br />

carrot flies along with planting<br />

carrots next to spring onions and<br />

garlic chives.<br />

FRESH:<br />

Carrots<br />

should be<br />

planted<br />

around<br />

2cm apart.<br />

Flower garden<br />

Autumn planting helps improve<br />

a garden’s chances of having more<br />

colourful blossoms in spring. The<br />

soil is still warm for the flower<br />

seedlings to get established. It’s a<br />

good time to plant pansy, viola,<br />

wallflower, stock, alyssum, dianthus<br />

and sweet peas. Mix and<br />

match perennials and annuals.<br />

Ideas for flower tubs, pots:<br />

1 Pots of different sizes with<br />

mixed pansies and violas<br />

2 Large pots _ place taller<br />

plants like stock or carnation in<br />

the middle and surround it with<br />

shorter plants like pansies<br />

Idea for hanging flower baskets<br />

- Lobelias (mixed and cascading).<br />

Herb garden<br />

If you have a herb garden, consider<br />

moving the basil indoors or<br />

inside the greenhouse to protect<br />

them from cold snaps. <strong>April</strong> is the<br />

time to plant rocket, thyme and<br />

oregano; and, to prune your sage<br />

and rosemary.<br />

Natives<br />

Autumn is natives season. It’s<br />

time to plant trees and hedges in<br />

order for their roots to settle in<br />

and get established before winter<br />

kicks in. Akeake and Pittosporum<br />

(also Griselinia for warmer<br />

regions) are often used to create<br />

hedges.<br />

There are several fast-growing<br />

varieties if you are interested in<br />

creating a hedge for your property.<br />

In choosing the right plant<br />

variety for your hedge, consider<br />

the primary purpose of the hedge:<br />

shelter, privacy, fencing, decorative<br />

border and peace and quiet.<br />

Create a map of the area you’d<br />

like to cover. Pick a sunny spot as<br />

most trees grow best under full<br />

sun. If the area you’re considering<br />

is partially shaded, choose the<br />

right plants that will grow under<br />

those conditions.<br />

Early autumn is a good time to<br />

trim established hedges.<br />

Autumn<br />

gArden<br />

guide<br />

Autumn is a great time to get on top of all your tasks<br />

before the winter months set in. the daylight hours<br />

are slowly disappearing, and there is a noticeable<br />

cooling in the air, but there are still plenty of things<br />

to keep you busy in the garden. Here are the top<br />

things to consider through the next few months.<br />

Lawn Care<br />

Give your lawn a muchneeded<br />

boost of nutrients<br />

with a top-quality lawn<br />

fertiliser. This is best done on<br />

an overcast day, or when rain<br />

is predicted. Set your sprinkler<br />

after application and give it a<br />

good soak. New lawns can be<br />

laid now as well. Keep up the<br />

irrigation to ensure your seed<br />

doesn’t dry out.<br />

Top Sellers<br />

• Vegepods<br />

• Veggie Mix<br />

• Birdies Garden Beds<br />

• Organic Compost<br />

• Lawn Fertiliser<br />

• Bark Mulch<br />

Winter Veggies<br />

If you want to grow from<br />

seed, start these in jiffy pots<br />

now. Pop them in a mini<br />

propagator, or somewhere<br />

warm and sunny inside. They<br />

will be ready to plant out<br />

in no time. Be sure to use<br />

a seed raising mix for the<br />

seeds, and then use a veggie<br />

mix to plant the seedlings<br />

into your chosen area.<br />

Excellent opportunity to live the dream!<br />

The feeling of "home" is what comes to mind when you travel down this tree-lined drive! Situated on an irrigated<br />

10-hectare (24-acres) block and located less than 15 minutes from Rolleston, this modern home, built in 2015, exudes<br />

warmth, space and charm. Set across a single level, this three bedroom (or use the spacious office as a fourth), two<br />

bathroom home is generously proportioned to accommodate large families. The open kitchen operates as the social<br />

hub and overlooks the dining/living and gardens. A separate lounge is the ideal space to retreat to and winters are<br />

taken care of by the large log burner and heat transfer! Internal access garaging provides parking for the cars whilst<br />

there's still plenty of space for the caravan, boat and toys. With excellent irrigation consent, the block is subdivided<br />

into 10 paddocks with full electric fencing. Supporting buildings include a large 4bay barn/implement shed with<br />

power, and one bay fully enclosed lockup, another 2bay hay barn, a shearing plant, wool shed and stock yard. This<br />

property is the perfect place for kids and pets to roam freely and is the ideal opportunity to live the dream, create<br />

memories and do so much more. Unique offerings like this does not often come to the market. A viewing is a must to<br />

appreciate all that is on offer! Price + GST (if any)<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Choosing your<br />

benchtop<br />

Should it be functionality over durability<br />

or cost over style? Is the benchtop<br />

porous that you’ve chosen; will it stain,<br />

and is it hygienic? Are you choosing an<br />

environmentally friendly option? Whether<br />

creating your kitchen for a new build or<br />

renovating your existing kitchen, there<br />

are many considerations when selecting a<br />

benchtop. Here are some suggestions:<br />

Marble/Granite<br />

Marble and granite, priced at the higher<br />

end of the market, are natural stone<br />

materials and can provide a stunning<br />

statement look. With gorgeous natural<br />

grains and patterns, both are porous.<br />

However, if not sealed regularly, these<br />

stones can be easily damaged by oil and<br />

anything acidic. They can also chip easily,<br />

and although heat-resistant, hot pans<br />

straight off the stove can cause issues.<br />

Engineered/Composite Stone<br />

As an alternative to marble or granite,<br />

engineered or composite stone benchtops<br />

are available. The composite material is<br />

made from a pressurised quartz and resin<br />

compound and may contain granite chips<br />

and glass. It doesn’t need to be sealed and<br />

is easy to look after, although it can chip.<br />

This hard-wearing material is available in<br />

a wide range of styles, colours and finishes<br />

and may be similar in price to some<br />

granites.<br />

Acrylic<br />

Acrylic benchtops are non-porous, have<br />

seamless joins and are incredibly hygienic.<br />

In addition, acrylic benchtops are easy to<br />

clean and maintain, being stain-resistant.<br />

If needed, they can be repaired and<br />

polished to look new again. However,<br />

placing hot pots directly on the surface can<br />

cause damage.<br />

Laminate<br />

The most economical option on the<br />

market is laminate (Formica) benchtops.<br />

Don’t let visions of the past, where orange<br />

Formica reigned supreme in the kitchen,<br />

deter you from this option. Many surface<br />

finishes and colour options are now<br />

available as technology has improved.<br />

Laminate is stain-resistant and, therefore,<br />

easy to maintain. However, chips can<br />

break the melamine coating layer. This<br />

break may mean water can seep in and<br />

cause the underlying chipboard to expand.<br />

If you are doing some DIY and looking<br />

at sustainable choices, perhaps you might<br />

consider resurfacing the existing benchtop<br />

using a specialist benchtop paint or<br />

overlaying it with a sheet of engineered<br />

stone.<br />

With so many choices available,<br />

your kitchen benchtop can meet your<br />

functional needs while being beautiful,<br />

stylish and within your budget.<br />

Timber<br />

Wooden benchtops are a big trend<br />

in <strong>2022</strong>. Wood can bring a natural and<br />

softer look to your kitchen area. With a<br />

wide variety of wood options available,<br />

you can add character and colour to your<br />

benchtop. However, wooden surfaces are<br />

not maintenance-free and may require<br />

sanding back and resealing if damaged. In<br />

addition, being slightly porous, they are<br />

not as hygienic as other products.<br />
