Big rates rise looms
for homeowners
7.5 per cent increase
on the cards for some
• By Susan Sandys
RATES ARE SET to go up by an
average of 6 per cent on July 1 for the
coming year, but the increase will be
more for many urban dwellers.
The average increase is larger than the
expected 4.9 per cent flagged in the district
council’s Long Term Plan, caused mostly
by inflation and a growing population.
A new $20 targeted rate has also been
proposed, for an ecological enhancement
project.
“When we prepared our LTP, inflation
was still at low levels in New Zealand,”
the district council says in its draft annual
plan adopted last week.
Individual changes in rates will also be
affected by the recent revaluation of properties.
About one quarter of a property’s
rates bill is based on its capital value.

SPRINGFIELD is getting a $1.2
million quick fix for its ongoing
dirty drinking water issue.
The district council decided
at its meeting last week that it
would pursue a contract variation
with CORDE to install 9km
pipeline sourcing water from
Sheffield, expected to be completed
in July.
It would temporarily supply
Springfield with spare capacity
available from the Sheffield
water treatment plant, until the
more permanent solution of a
membrane filtration plant is
operational in about 18 months.
Residents have been relying
on a drinking water tank and
showers supplied by the district
council since being subject to a
precautionary boil water notice
introduced February 5.
Springfield
resident and
Malvern Community
Board
member Bill
Woods welcomed
the new
pipeline.
“We have
been on boil
water for 70 days, and all the
sitting around in meetings and
all the rest of it doesn’t help,”
Woods said.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Quick fix for Springfield’s water
Bill Woods
“Something has to be done in
the meantime. It’s either that or
putting filters on everybody’s
supply.”
The work itself is expected to
have minimal impact on rates,
as it would be debt funded.
However, asset manager water
services Murray England said, in
response to councillor questions
at the meeting last week, that
electricity costs for pumping
the water through the uphill
pipeline would come under the
district-wide rate.
But the pipeline was just a
temporary fix and ultimately
could help with providing capacity
from the Springfield supply
to supplement Sheffield.
“That works in our favour in
terms of gravity and electricity
costs,” England said.
Mayor Sam Broughton said after
the meeting that Springfield
residents were going through
a difficult time and the district
council was addressing the situation
as soon as possible.
“Our staff have worked
extremely hard to ensure we
have a full range of options
to address these issues in the
longer term, which our council
is backing this with significant
investment.”

Asbestos
pipes
being
replaced
THE DISTRICT council is
replacing aging asbestos drinking
water pipes.
The news comes as a University
of Otago study last week revealed
asbestos fibres were leaching into
Christchurch’s drinking water supply
from old underground pipes.
Group manager infrastructure
Murray Washington said less
than three per cent of Selwyn’s
drinking water supply network
had asbestos concrete pipes.
“The council has been active
in replacing these in recent years
with our ongoing renewals of the
water network. A significant proportion
of the remaining pipes
should be removed by the end
of the 2022-2023 financial year,”
Washington said.
While the University of Otago
researchers said there was no
immediate cause for public
health concern, the discovery in
Christchurch has prompted calls
for better monitoring of asbestos
in drinking water to help councils
prioritise which pipes to replace.
No asbestos pipes have been
installed in New Zealand since
the 1990s, yet replacing the
existing ones with alternatives is
expected to cost over $2 billion.

Teacher guilty of ‘serious misconduct’
• By Anna Leask
A TEACHER has been found
guilty of serious misconduct
after making inappropriate
and offensive comments on a
podcast about students, a former
girlfriend, his sex life and going
to work “slightly high on drugs”.
Samuel Stokes’ name was
initially suppressed by the New
Zealand Teachers Disciplinary
Tribunal but after admitting
the conduct and “accepting
that his behaviour was serious
misconduct” his name could be
reported.
Stokes currently teaches
social science and commerce at
Rolleston College.
But at the time of the podcast,
he was employed at Hornby
High School in the city teaching
economics and physical education.
In November 2019 Stokes
participated in an episode of a
podcast called Cancelcast.
According to the tribunal decision,
the creator and host of the
podcast was Conor Fenelon – an
“amateur comedian” and friend
of Stokes.
The podcast was said to be
“for the purpose of discussing
current events, life events, and
telling stories in a comedic light
with guests within the host’s
friendship group”.
The tribunal heard that Stokes
agreed to appear on the podcast
on the condition that he would
remain completely anonymous
and that he could “review and
edit” the episode before it went
live.
However, Fenelon “did not
abide by that agreement” and released
the podcast on a number
of streaming platforms.
The episode was for a duration
of 1hr 38min and was online for
several weeks before it was taken
down.
Two members of the public
complained to Hornby High
School about the content and
the principal made a mandatory
report to the Teaching Council.
Stokes was accused of a raft
of inappropriate comments
including referring to a former
girlfriend in a derogatory way
and describing sex acts he was
involved in.
TEACHER:

He also referred to “taking
drugs” and arriving at school
“still slightly high on drugs”.
In the episode he named two
students, read out their work and
allowed them to be “the subject
of ridicule”.
In addition, Stokes referred to
a student who he described as
having been in an inappropriate
relationship with a teacher, in a
derogatory way.
A copy of the transcript of
the podcast as well as audio was
provided to the tribunal.
“Mr Stokes admitted the
conduct and accepted that his
behaviour was serious misconduct,”
the tribunal decision said.
“Despite Mr Stokes’ admissions,
it was for the tribunal to
reach its own view as to whether
the conduct, if established,
amounted to serious misconduct;
and if so, what, if any,
penalty should be imposed.
“The tribunal found the charge
established. It had no difficulty
concluding that the conduct was
serious misconduct.”
An interim non-publication
order was initially put in place
preventing Stokes’ name and any
details that would identify him
from being published.
However, he did not seek
permanent suppression and
the tribunal said there were no
grounds for that anyway.
An order was made suppressing
the names of the students
and the former girlfriend mentioned
in the podcast.
The tribunal heard that the
episode has been deleted.
During the episode Stokes and
Fenelon talked about having a
“threesome” with a woman and
taking “Molly” – another name
for the Class A drug ecstasy.
They describe the sexual activity
in graphic detail.

over students, sex and drugs podcast
“Later in the podcast, Mr
Stokes refers to the Teaching
Council and to arriving at work
still slightly high on drugs,” said
the tribunal decision.
Stokes said: “Teaching Council,
if you’re listening to this, please
don’t revoke my licence.”
“Directly after discussing
arriving at work slightly high
on drugs, Mr Stokes discusses a
former colleague’s inappropriate
relationship with a student,
in a derogatory way,” said the
tribunal.
Stokes claimed that if a teacher
was going to have a relationship
with a student they should “wait
until they are 16 at least”.
“And then you won’t go to jail,
you’ll just lose your teaching
licence.”
Stokes then went on to read
out the work of two students –
naming them on the podcast and
speaking about an ex-girlfriend
who sent him “a couple of nudes”.
Stokes also referred to “being
stoned” at university.
At the hearing Stokes “accepted
he was naive in waiting to be
invited to be involved in editing
the podcast”.
He said he was “naive in
agreeing to the podcast at all
and accepts that much of the
content and discussion was not
appropriate”.
Stokes accepted he showed a
lack of professional judgment and
that it was unprofessional to provide
the recount of the students’
work.
He claimed he “deeply regrets
using the students’ names and
speaking of a student’s work in a
derisory manner”.
Stokes told the tribunal that
“all comments made about drug
use were completely fabricated
stories, made up for the purpose
of comedic dialogue”.
“Mr Stokes states he has never
engaged in recreational drug use
and that he rarely even drinks
alcohol,” the tribunal said.
Stokes told the tribunal he
“made a colossal mistake in
participating in the podcast” and
“regardless of his misguided belief
of anonymity, he was wrong
to even consider recording”.
He was embarrassed and
ashamed by his actions and
had “reached the boundaries of
what should and should not be
made public knowledge, and let
everyone down, especially the
students”.
“He understands his duty
of care to students, and he has

College.
betrayed their trust,” the tribunal
said.
“He places huge emphasis on
lifelong learning, and he has
learned from this event. He wishes
to learn from these actions and
to continue teaching.
“He has matured a lot since
taking part in the podcast … he
has wanted to teach since he was
16-years-old and having good
relationships with his students
was very important to him.
“Not a day goes by that he does
not regret his involvement in the
podcast, and how he talked about
learners.
“His actions ‘completely contradicted’
his own values.”
The tribunal ruled that not
only was Stokes’ misconduct serious,
it “adversely affected or was
likely to affect the wellbeing of
the students involved”.
“Mr Stokes accepted that his
conduct reflects adversely on his
fitness to be a teacher,” said the
tribunal.
“Mr Stokes failed to protect
students from harm and did not
demonstrate a high standard of
professional behaviour that is
expected of him as a registered
teacher.
“The tribunal concluded that
Mr Stokes’ conduct may bring
- and indeed, has brought - the
teaching profession into disrepute.
“There can be no doubt that
Mr Stokes’ conduct amounted
to a serious departure from the
relevant professional standards
that apply to every member of the
teaching profession.”
The tribunal said Stokes had no
previous disciplinary history and
noted he had “co-operated and
engaged” with the disciplinary
process and acknowledged his
actions through a guilty plea.
It accepted he had “displayed
some insight into his conduct
and expressed remorse”.

The tribunal was provided with
a letter from Rolleston College
principal Rachel Skelton who
confirmed having “full knowledge
of the matter “ and that she
had “spoken to Mr Stokes about it
in depth”.
Skelton told
the tribunal
Stokes was “well
respected by
his colleagues
and learners”
and she had “no
concerns” about
his professional
conduct at his
current school
– or about him
as a teacher and
as a professional.
The tribunal said it was “appropriate
and necessary” to impose
a formal penalty on Stokes – but
cancelling or suspending his
teaching registration was not on
the cards.
“The tribunal is satisfied that
Mr Stokes has significant insight
into the inappropriateness of his
conduct,” it ruled.
“It considered that Mr Stokes
is capable of being rehabilitated
with the benefit of mentoring and
further reflection … as a relatively
young teacher he should be
given an opportunity to further
his teaching career.
“That is not to say that the
tribunal did not consider his
behaviour on the podcast was in
any way acceptable.”
The tribunal made an order
censuring Stokes “as a mark
of its serious disquiet about
his conduct, and to uphold
professional standards”.
“Mr Stokes’ conduct involved
behaviour that cannot be countenanced
in the teaching profession
and a message needs to be sent to
that effect not only to Mr Stokes
but to all members of the teaching
profession.
“Teachers must take care
to avoid engaging in conduct
outside of work … that negatively
impacts on the trust and
confidence students, whānau and
members of the public are entitled
to have in them as a teacher

and as a role model and it reflects
badly on the integrity and standing
of the teaching profession.”
The tribunal ordered that the
register of teachers is be annotated
to record the censure which
will remain in effect for one year.
It also ordered Stokes to
participate in mentoring with a
mentor of his choice and provide
evidence to the tribunal within
six months.
Further, Stokes is to provide
a “reflective statement” about
his professional obligations and
for the next two years must
advise any prospective or future
employers of the tribunal’s
decision.
The tribunal ordered Stokes to
pay $4250 to the CAC.

DUNSANDEL builder Dan
Michael has been named
Canterbury’s top apprentice.
The 20-year-old won the New
Zealand Certified Builders
regional apprentice challenge on
April 9.
Among eight entrants given
just eight hours to build a park
bench to specific design plans,
Michael received the top score
overall. The finished products
had been assessed on their the
quality of workmanship, including
measuring, cutting and
assembly.
Michael is undertaking his
apprenticeship at Taylormade
Builders. He has now earned
a place in the national final
representing Canterbury. There
he will compete against 19 other
regional winners from across
New Zealand for the Ken Read
Memorial Trophy and $25,000
worth of prizes.
The national final will be held
at the NZCB annual conference
in Hamilton in November.
NZCB industry pathways and
apprenticeship manager Nick
Matthews said the competition
highlighted a high-calibre of
apprentices, following a record
uptake of building apprenticeships
in recent years.
“Nationwide we’re seeing
increasing numbers of eager and
talented apprentices entering
the trade from a variety of backgrounds.
The regional competitions
have really set the bar for
what excellence looks like ahead
of the national final,” Matthews

Four projects outlined in council’s Long Term Plan
• From page 1
Properties with a capital value
that has increased by more than
the average capital value increase
over three years, which was 33.7
per cent, would have a higher
increase in their rate. This is
mostly urban homeowners, while
many rural property owners will
see a reduction in rates as their
property values did not grow as
much over the three years.
For example, a residential home
in Rolleston with a new CV of
$790,000 will have an annual rates
increase of 7.5 per cent, $235,
from $3115 to $3350. At the same
time, a rural property in Darfield
with a new CV of $11.3 million
(with water races and water units)
will have a decrease of $993 from
$15,019 to $14,026.
Other cost pressures alongside
inflation included supply
chain delays and price increases,
impacts of the Russia-Ukraine
conflict on fuel prices and a
tight labour market. It was thus
costing the district council more
to maintain its current levels of
service, the district council says in
the draft plan.
Alongside this, the district’s
continuing growth was putting
pressure on operations.
“We are boosting our resources
in areas like building and resource

including the rarely seen kōtuku,
or white heron.
Residents noticed a lone
kōtuku in the wetland area at
Ahuriri Lagoon over a two-week
period, before it flew off a few
days ago.
“It either ran out of frogs or
there were too many people
down there,” one resident told
the Selwyn Times.
“We live not far from the
lagoon and walk there threeto-four
times a week with our
dog. It’s a stunning spot and the
bird life has certainly picked up
around the area as a result of
all the planting. We’ve also had
spoonbills there,” she said.
The native kōtuku is a protected
species. It had mythical status
for Māori because of its rarity
and beauty. Featuring on the $2
coin, the bird is widespread in
Asia and Australia but is believed
to number only in the hundreds
in New Zealand.
The constructed wetland,
named Whakaora Te Ahuriri,
was completed in 2020. Located
between Tai Tapu and
Motukārara on the Little River
Rail Trail, it has involved engineering
and earthworks over four
hectares, and the installation of
132,000 plants. The budget for
Ellesmere Water Race, changes
to water race rating across the
district, and a new $20 ecological
enhancement targeted rate.
The latter would support
improving the district’s land
drainage network which provides
biodiversity, ecological habitat
and flood protection.
Consultation will run to May
19. The consultation document
is at www.selwyn.govt.nz/
annualplan22. Copies are also
available at district council offices
and services centres.
the project, which is ongoing, is
$3.5 million.
Funded by Environment Canterbury
and the Government’s
Freshwater Improvement Fund,
its goal is to improve water quality,
mahinga kai and biodiversity.
ECan team leader partnership
programmes David Murphy said
he and fellow staff were “overjoyed”
to see the kōtuku visit.
It had been surprising to see
how quickly life had returned to
the wetland.
“When the plants were installed,
and then the water flowed into the
wetland, it immediately brought
fish and insects, and birds quickly
followed,” Murphy said.
Other birds seen there were
pāpango/scaup, kārukiruhi/pied
shag, warou/welcome swallow,
kahu/swamp harrier, poaka/pied
stilt and pukeko.
Meanwhile, restoration of
another wetland will begin soon.
The district council said in its
draft annual plan released last
week that restoration of the 81ha
Tārerekautuku/Yarrs Lagoon
near Lincoln is expected to get
under way in the coming year.

Anzac Day services remain scaled back
• By Susan Sandys
NEW ZEALAND’S move to orange
arrived too late to see the district’s usual
Anzac Day commemorations return to
their full glory.
Nonetheless, service organisers have
not been defeated by the challenges
presented by both Covid-19 and its associated
restrictions.
Ellesmere RSA president Lloyd
Clausen said the usual indoor service
held at the Leeston rugby stadium had
been scrapped to abide by red traffic
light restrictions, and it was too late last
week to change this.
But a shorter parade, led by the
Ellesmere Highland Pipe Band, would
be held from Gallipoli St to the Ellesmere
County Cenotaph for an outdoor
service.
Clausen said Ellesmere RSA members
had initially cancelled the parade, but
salvaged it when limits on outdoor gatherings
were lifted.
“It could be said it’s a right of passage,
everyone has grown up with the parade
and carries on doing it as a mark of
respect,” he said.
Rolleston Residents Association
Anzac Day committee convenor Dianne
Rooney said it had been a hectic time
organising the day’s commemorations.
Last week she and fellow committee
members were delaying as long as
possible confirmation of people who
would address the traditional service, at
the Rolleston war memorial and clock
tower, which usually attracted about
1000 people.
REMEMBRANCE: The district prepares to commemorate Anzac Day,
with most services limited as the move to orange came too late.
“There might be a last minute rush to
find somebody else because whoever we
had down to do it, they might suddenly
not be able to do it,” Rooney said, referring
to the chance of people becoming
ill with Covid-19 or having to isolate.
The association traditionally held
a parade prior to the service, and a
morning tea afterwards, but these had
been cancelled due to the difficulty of
maintaining social distancing.
Lincoln community Anzac Day committee
member Ian Collins said the traffic
light change came too late to change
its scaled-down plans.
“This year’s service is outdoors only at
the war memorial and has been scaled
back in size and duration. It will run for
about 35 minutes and there will be no
involvement in the ceremonial proceedings
by children’s groups, as on past
occasions,” Collins said.
Darfield’s traditional commemorations
of a wreath-laying ceremony
followed by a service at the district war
memorial is going ahead, while the
usual church service and morning tea
afterwards are not.
Darfield RSA president Terry Hutchinson
said the decision had been made
in the red traffic light setting.
West Melton Residents Association
member Bruce Russell said the village’s
usual outdoor service and morning
tea, held since 2015 when a war monument
was built in West Melton School
grounds, was going ahead.
“It’s always very popular,” he said.

Trainer’s animal cruelty hearing begins
• By Chris Barclay
A RACING Integrity Board
hearing investigating allegations
of animal cruelty by a leading
thoroughbred horse trainer is
underway.
Paul Harris has been charged
under the rules of racing with
failing to take all reasonable
steps to ensure the physical
health needs of five-year-old bay
mare Riverfalls.
He is jointly charged with
Rebecca Rae, who housed Riverfalls
at a Loburn property as she
spelled after the final race of her
33-start career at Wingatui on
June 6, 2021.
Harris and Rae deny the
charge, which stemmed from
a visit by two RIB investigators
to Paul Harris Racing on South
Eyre Rd, Swannanoa, on October
12, 2021.
An emaciated Riverfalls was
euthanised, on veterinary advice,
about three hours after the investigators
arrived at the property,
acting on information received.
Harris trained Riverfalls on
behalf of a syndicate that leased
the horse from owners in the
Waikato.
The hearing, which is scheduled
to resume next month,
opened before committee chair
Warwick Gendall QC and Noel
McCutcheon at Riccarton Racecourse,
with the proceedings
HEARING: Trainer Paul Harris denied an animal crueltyrelated
charge laid by the Racing Integrity Board.

dominated by the RIB’s case.
RIB lawyer Steve Symon said
its evidence focused on the
failure to provide veterinary
care early enough for Riverfalls,
whose appearance shocked
a veterinarian, who felt
“blindsided” when asked to treat
the horse.
Dr Lillian Bonner was initially
contacted by Rae on September
14, 2021 and they exchanged
messages via text.
“She (Rae) did say she looked
bad and it looked like she was
starving her,” Bonner told the
hearing.
After delays due to scheduling
issues, Bonner saw Riverfalls at
the Harris stables on September
30, the same day she had transferred
from Loburn.
“At the time I expected to do
a nutrition consult, perhaps
treat for ulcers, look at teeth and
bodywork.
“I walked over to the box and
I was shocked at how emaciated

January 2018. PHOTO: NEW
ZEALAND BLOODSTOCK
she was,” said Bonner, who rated
Riverfalls’ body condition score
as 1 or 2 out of 10.
Bonner spoke to Harris telling
him the horse was in a seriously
poor condition and it could not
have happened overnight.
“He agreed and said he
thought the horse may have been
poisoned,” she said.
Bonner, who said she did not
assume the mare was being
starved, formulated a refeeding
plan and a course of oral deworming
medication Panacur to
treat internal parasites.
“I didn’t want to be accusatory,
I just didn’t have it in my mind
that any of this was intentional,”
she said.
“In summary, I thought I was
blindsided going to treat a horse
for loss of condition to find
emaciation. I was surprised no
veterinarian had seen the horse
prior.”
Bonner felt Riverfalls should
have been treated a month before
she saw her.
The horse’s condition deteriorated
further and veterinarian
Dr Alisa Corser told the hearing
euthanasia was the only option
when she was summoned to the
property by RIB investigator
Simon Irving.
RIB investigator Kylie Williams
took photos and a video of
Riverfalls that were produced for
the committee. They are currently
subject to a non-publication
order.
Corser, who is contracted to
the RIB, made the decision to euthanise
Riverfalls in conjunction
with Dr Hamish Rankin, who
carried out the procedure.
She described Riverfalls
condition as “the worst I’d seen
in my experience outside a
hospital environment”.
“There is no doubt she was
suffering, no doubt Riverfalls
would have been in pain,” Corser
said.
Riverfalls was suffering from
severe emaciation and showing
signs of colitis, an inflammation
of the large intestine which is
often fatal.
Defence counsel Stephanie
Grieve asked if colitis could
cause emaciation.
“It can, but it doesn’t usually
cause emaciation in that rapid of
a time frame, in my experience,”
Corser said.

THE SELWYN Braves
had even more cause for
celebration after clinching
the Canterbury Baseball
Championship, with two
players being selected
in the under-23 Junior
Diamondblacks squad for
a World Cup qualifier with
Australia.
Jacob Davidson is among
the pitching rotation named
in an Auckland-dominated
20-strong tour party for a
three-match series to determine
Oceania’s representative
at the tournament to be held in
Taipei, Taiwan in October.
Te Ahu Wall, who also pitches
for the Braves, is among five
non-travelling alternates.
The team assembled in
Auckland on Monday, with
the series starting in Canberra
on Friday.
Davidson, 19, has also represented
New Zealand at softball
and played baseball with the
Christchurch Astros since
under-13 level.
His father Neil Davidson
then established the Selwyn
Braves about five years ago.

opportunity to potentially play
at a World Cup.
“I don’t know how to describe
it. I just love the game,
anything’s exciting, it just
excites me to play,” he said.
Junior Diamondblacks
team manager Dan Tan was
confident about the short and
long-term future of the squad.
“We have a young, talented
team that will have the ability

to grow and develop together,”
he said.
“Many of our players will be
eligible for the next two cycles
of under-23s, giving us a great
base to build from for the
future with this group.
“We are excited for our players
to gain some experience
that will prepare them for college
(in the United States) and
future international competitions,”
he said.
Davidson is also part of the
Auckland Tuatara development
programme, New
Zealand’s representative in the
Australian Baseball League.
Braves secretary Monique
Kharkrang said the duo’s
selection capped a successful
season for the Rolleston-based
club.
“We just couldn’t be more
proud. It is such an enormous
achievement and baseball can
open so many doors for them,”
she said.
Davidson and Wall are
joined by another locallybased
player, Josh Wilson, a
pitcher for the Christchurch
Astros Black team beaten 10-6
by the Braves in the premier
championship final on April 3.
The Braves were the underdogs
heading into the decider
with the previously unbeaten
Astros but recovered from a
5-0 deficit to claim the trophy.

Anzac Day commemorates
New Zealanders killed in
war and honours returned
and serving servicemen and
women.
Anzac Day was first observed in
1916. The day has gone through
many changes since.
Each year ceremonies are held
at war memorials throughout
New Zealand, and in places
overseas where New Zealanders
gather. The ceremonies are
modelled on a military funeral
and remain rich in tradition and
ritual. People of all ages rise
early on Anzac Day to pay their
respects to those who have
fought and died in war.
The Vintage Car Club VCC Dutton Garage Malvern Run is
all set to go on 25 April. The annual vintage car rally kicks
off at 10am from the Darfield Recreation Centre, where club
members meet for morning tea with their cars on public
display until 11am. The rally visits war memorials in Darfield,
Sheffield, Hororata, Glenroy and Glentunnel.
Event co-ordinator Malcolm McGibbon says there is a
good cross-section of cars taking part including cars from
Ashburton plus the oldest registered car in New Zealand,
a 1900 Wolseley, making its annual trip from Dunedin. The
rally finishes in Glentunnel around 1pm.
Poppy Day turns 100
This year celebrates 100 years of selling poppies in
New Zealand. In 1922 on 24 April, the day before Anzac Day,
more than 260,000 poppies were sold to help the war-torn
areas in Northern France and to help returned soldiers and
their families. A total of £13,166 was raised (equal to $1.34
million in 2020) with a portion being sent to France and the
remaining amount retained for New Zealand soldiers.
The idea of selling poppies came from French woman
Madame E. Guerin, who wanted to help veterans and
destitute children. The poppies were originally manufactured
by widows and orphans in Northern France and sold prior
to Armistice Day on 11 November, however the New Zealand
Returned Soldiers’ Association’s (NZRSA) order did not
arrive in time, so their first Poppy Day was launched the
following year the day before Anzac Day in 1922.
The Poppy Day Appeal is NZRSA’s primary source of
fundraising to help New Zealand returned service personnel
and their families.

Here’s the plan
...have your say
Annual Plan 2022/23
You can now have you say on the Council’s proposed plans for the next 12 months.
Consultation on the Annual Plan is now open until 19 May. The Council is seeking your feedback on
four key projects and how we’re tracking overall with the plan agreed last year through the Long-
Term Plan 2021-2031.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the Council’s focus for the year is on delivering in the key areas
identified by the community for focus through the Long-Term Plan.
“We’ll be continuing with projects we outlined last year to provide the essential services and facilities
our rapidly-growing district needs. In previous consultations you have told us that things like safe,
well-maintained roads, good quality drinking water and community facilities are important for our
quality of life – so we’re keeping our focus on these areas.”
The proposed average rates increase is 6%, slightly higher than the 4.9% increase forecast in the
Long-Term Plan, but in line with the current rate of inflation and taking into account the increased
costs for the Council from fuel costs, supply chain delays and the tight labour market.
Proposed rates changes will vary for individual properties depending on their type and location.
“We’ve worked hard to limit the average rates increase, while still ensuring it delivers the essential
services and facilities our rapidly-growing district needs,” Mayor Broughton says.
The plan proposes $91m to capital projects – $20.2m in water supply projects; $21.6m in wastewater
projects; and $20.4m in transportation projects.
The Council is also seeking feedback on four key proposals:
• a change in proposal for the funding of the Hororātā Community Club,
• closure of parts of the Upper Ellesmere Water Race,
• changes to water race rating across the district, and
• a proposal for investing in biodiversity through a $20 Ecological
Enhancement targeted rate and harmonisation of Land Drainage rates.
During the consultation period councillors and staff will also be
attending drop-in sessions and community events where residents can
ask questions and share their views. You can find the plan and details of
these events at selwyn.govt.nz/annualplan22.

Calling for Artist
Submissions
Te Mataaho: Viewfinder
Alternative views of Selwyn by local artists
There are views of the district we are familiar with: the birds eye view of gridded plains, sunsets over
Waihora, snowcapped peaks of Kā Tiritiri o te Moana. But which views are important to the people of
this community and how do they choose to portray this place?
For this exhibition, we’re calling for submissions from local artists to respond to this theme,
presenting the views they deem as important, providing a window into life in Selwyn.
Submissions close 22 May. Exhibition runs from 22 – 31 July 2022 at Te Ara Ātea.

Underprivileged school kids to benefit
from corporate cooks fine dining
fundraising dinner
Canterbury families struggling to meet the rising costs
for school uniforms, shoes, and classroom stationery,
are set to be assisted by a colourful fundraising dinner
featuring 15 of the region’s business leaders cooking in
the kitchen.
The Bayleys Plate Up for a Purpose charitable
initiative is being run in conjunction with the
Christchurch City Mission’s Back to School
Programme, and brings together 15 of the city’s
philanthropic company bosses to cook up a feast for
guests dining at the Christchurch Town Hall.
This year’s fundraiser dinner takes place on May 28.
It will be the fourth year the event has been held, and to
date the dinners and participating corporate chefs have
raised some $345,000 for Christchurch City Mission
– with hundreds of young children across the region
benefitting from the support of their education.
Event supporters of Bayleys Plate Up for a Purpose
can contribute donations through a givealittle page
under the Christchurch City Mission tag, while the
participating business leader chefs are also selling off
their allocated tables to generate additional funds. All
money raised goes directly to the charity.
Corporate figureheads signed up to participate in
this year’s boardroom buffet include: Brett Anderson,
Christchurch Casino; Andrew McSweeney, Service
IQ; Caroline Harvie-Teare, Vbase; Jennie Moreton,
Craigs Investment Partners; Noel Pinn, Sunergise/Todd
Solar; Francis Fitzgerald, Partners Finance & Lease Ltd;
Gary Erkell, Nova Energy; Anthony Barker, Southern
Monograms: Colin Mansbridge: The Crusaders; Jeremy
Dixon, Isaac Group, Nick Carter, Brannigans: Scott
Thelning, Cathedral Grammar; Michael Patterson, The
Commodore Hotel; Pete Whalan, Bayleys Canterbury
and Russell Benge, Davis Ogilvie.
Reminiscent from a scene out of the TV reality series
MasterChef, their culinary efforts are closely overseen
by professional industry chefs Tony Smith from Akaroa
Salmon, Richard Hingston from Christchurch Casino,
and Reon Hobson from Service IQ who are all on hand
to dish out advice and instructions. While the exact
menu is a secret until May 28, ingredients will feature
delectable salmon, beef, lamb, and chocolate across the
three courses.
Bayleys Canterbury Chief Executive Officer Pete
Whalan said Bayleys Plate Up for a Purpose took
the corporate chefs out of their usual boardroom
‘comfort zones’ in a challenging commercial kitchen
environment to support an often-neglected sector of
society.
“Through Christchurch City Mission Back to School
programme we have the opportunity to help families in
real need give their children the best start to the school
year. With the generous support of Christchurch’s
business community, City Mission can help give
children in Canterbury the basic equipment and
clothing that they need,” said Pete Whalan.
“Like myself, many of the charity participants are
amateur home cooks, so donning true chefs’ whites
and working in a tight-knit professional kitchen really
ups the ante. But at the end of the day it’s all for an
outstanding cause and allows us to give something back
to the community in which we all live.”
Behind the scenes in Christchurch Town Hall’s
kitchen, the corporate chefs will be grouped into three
sections – each preparing and presenting an entrée,
main course, and dessert. Adding to the fun at the end
of the night guests, vote for their favourite course.
“This really amps up the competitive nature of the
CEOs out in the kitchen – along with which participant
has raised the most donations through their own
personal support networks,” said Pete Whalan with a
smile.
Offering Canterbury
families hope
Bayleys Plate Up for a Purpose has underpinned the
Christchurch City Mission’s Back to School Programme for the
past three years, helping struggling families meet school costs
for uniforms, shoes and stationery.
Since 2019, 35 business leaders from Canterbury’s biggest
businesses have rolled up their sleeves going from the hot seat
to the hot plate, so that Canterbury’s children are given their
best practical start at school, and the education they need.
And we are doing it all over again.

Rise up with Risingholme
Term 2 Courses
The events of COVID-19 have shone
a light on protecting and maintaining
our well-being and made us aware of the
importance of social connectedness, family,
lifestyle, and community. With all of this
in mind, Risingholme has coordinated a
Wellbeing Series of courses to support the
community in their next steps out of the
covid cloud.
Your brain is like your body – it gets
stronger when you exercise it. There is a
lot of research that suggests learning new
skills keeps your brain young and fit. In one
study, 256 people with mild to moderate
anxiety took part in community education,
the courses covered a wide variety of topics,
from yoga to creative writing. The study
found that after completing the courses,
most participants reported feeling less
isolated during their courses. They also
experienced better wellbeing and less severe
symptoms, and this improvement lasted for
12 months.
By doing a Risingholme course, you can
find a new hobby, make new friends, and
upskill your life by taking on an enjoyable
challenge. At Risingholme we offer fun
short courses in so many areas that can not
only fit around your life, but better it!

Challenge, Change,
Innovation in Meat
Industry Chronicle
A new book written to celebrate the
NZ Meat Board’s Centenary takes you
behind the scenes to find how the New
Zealand red meat sector has used a mix of
collaboration, ingenuity, innovation and
sometimes number eight wire to survive
and thrive through a 25-year period of
volatile political, cultural and economic
uncertainty.
Meeting Change: the NZ Red Meat
Story 1997-2022 highlights the many
innovations and strong characters, while
covering the sector’s “rather extraordinary
culture” and events in an easy-to-read,
accessible style. Research by co-authors
Ali Spencer and Mick Calder included
interviews with over 50 key people
including Sir Graeme Harrison, Jeff Grant,
Mike Petersen, Tim Ritchie and Craig
Hickson.
The story is of spectacular improvements
in productivity, farmers and processors
working together, the challenges for agrifood
production from demanding markets
around the globe – including shifting trade
flows for New Zealand red meat from west
to east – the development of world leading
farming approaches, science and insights,
cultural shift and earning a social licence.
The New Zealand red meat industry
produces some of the world’s highest
quality, nutritious and hormone and
antibiotic free food for consumers in
over 120 countries worldwide. As New
Zealand’s second largest goods exporter,
the industry generates $9.3 billion in
export revenue annually, exporting 85% of
total production. It is also New Zealand’s
largest manufacturing industry, employing
more than 25,000 people in 60 locations
around the country. Every year, the
industry processes more than 28 million
sheep and cattle, of which 90% is turned in
value-added products.
Meeting Change: the NZ Red Meat
Story 1997-2022 follows on from “Golden
Jubilee” edited by Dai Hayward, which
covered the first 50 years, and “Meat
Acts” by Mick Calder and Janet Tyson
describing developments in the 25 years to
1997.
The 404-page book, including
well over 180 photographs,
cartoons and illustrations, is fully
indexed. It will be available in
hardback ($69.99) and paperback
($49.99) in New Zealand from late
June. Published by Mary Egan

Flood threat highlighted
in new council report
Environment Canterbury has an urgent
message: New Zealanders cannot afford
to bear the future burden of increasingly
severe and frequent floods that pose a real
danger to lives and livelihoods.
The regional council made the call on
the release of Te Uru Kahika - Regional
and Unitary Councils Aotearoa – a report
urging national leadership and action to
meet climate change-induced flood hazard
risks.
Canterbury Regional Council Chair
Jenny Hughey said Cantabrians know
the effects of flooding only too well,
mostly notably the May/June 2021 surges.
“Floods displace people from their homes,
stop them from reaching work, schools,
medical care and families, and do untold
damage to community wellbeing,” Hughey
said following the release of the report at
ECan’s Natural Environment Committee
meeting.
The May/June 2021 Canterbury flooding
caused about $20 million of flood damage,
with $12 million to be borne by ratepayers
and recovery work is expected to take up
to two years to complete.
The town of Ashburton was saved
from greater damage by a well-designed
urban flood protection scheme, but many
rural landowners were severely affected,
Hughey said. Hughey said infrastructure
repairs were a long-term undertaking,
often taking years to complete and need
to be managed in addition to ongoing
infrastructure maintenance.
“We’ve just recently completed a series
of ‘Make it Safe’ repair works on the
Rangitata River and are still remediating
12 critically damaged sites on the lower
Waitaki River, all caused by significant
flooding from back in 2019,” she said.
Hughey said Te Uru Kahika report clearly
documents the scale of Crown assets
and values protected by flood protection
schemes, advocating that the efficient
functioning of the economy and our
communities is a responsibility that must
be shared between regional councils and
Central Government.
Devastating flood events across the
country have highlighted the need to
revisit funding models, many of which
have been in place for decades and are no
longer sustainable for local communities
or fit-for-purpose in the face of climate
change. Regional and unitary councils
invest about $200 million each year in
flood protection schemes. This is estimated
to fall short of what’s needed by $150
million per annum. Over the ten years
considered, that would be $1.5 billion
of under-investment in critical flood
protection schemes.
Hughey said it was increasingly clear
following the recent spate of nationwide
floods is that “a shared investment today
means better protection for current and
future generations, lower overall recovery
costs and importantly, mitigation now
may actually save lives”. Contemporary
flood protection is complex, requiring
consideration for the health and wellbeing
of our rivers as a whole, she said.
This meant more attention to ecosystems
to support native biodiversity and water
quality, managing weed infestations
that threaten habitats and nurturing the
connection between people and rivers
through recreational opportunities
alongside flood infrastructure.
Future flood management solutions
need to consider important community,
environmental, cultural, economic, wholeof-catchment
and Te Mana o te Wai issues,
together with spatial planning, managed
retreat, building control and community
preparedness responses, Hughey said.

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
A greenhouse has many uses
DURING AUTUMN there
may well be no warm, dry
periods
This is where you greenhouse
comes in, it is an excellent place
to dry your potatoes.
If you decide to use your
greenhouse for this purpose,
there are several things to bear in
mind.
The greening of potatoes is
caused by four factors – light
quality (how bright the light
is), the duration during which
the tubers are exposed to light,
the temperature they are exposed
to, and the variety of potato
(some have thicker skins than
others).
Minimise the time the harvest
is exposed to the light (leaving
them in the light for no more
than two days and turning them
a couple of times a day to hurry
the process).
Leave the greenhouse door
and vents open to lower the
temperature, and choose a day
with light cloud rather than
bright sun for the harvest.
Obviously, even if your
greenhouse is vermin proof, it is
unwise to store the potatoes in
it because temperatures will be
warmer than desirable, even over
winter.
Potatoes should be stored in a
cool (1-4 deg C), dark place with
moderate ventilation.
Greenhouses are the cure
Autumn is also the season
when dampness is creeping into
the mornings and late afternoons.
All of which makes curing
pumpkins and other cucurbits a
headache. Unless, of course, you
have a greenhouse.
Pumpkins and their relatives
need to be stored in a warm, dry
place for around four weeks if
they are to store well into winter.
During the curing process, the
gourds’ skins harden, and any
minor blemishes heal over,
protecting the flesh beneath.
Curing also helps immature fruit
to ripen and sweeten.
Because curing should ideally
occur at temperatures between
27-29 deg C, greenhouses
provide the ideal place for it to
take place. Cure pumpkins, kumi
kumi and marrows on wooden
pallets placed on the floor of a
glasshouse.
It’s fascinating to watch the
shells harden on the vegetables
and to see how they deepen in
colour.
Sun-dried decoration
Bright dried foods make for
pretty decorations in the kitchen,
whether stored in a jar or strung
up on threads of cotton or
natural jute string.
As soon as the chillies are ripe
(which is when they have turned
the mature colour indicated on
their seed packet or plant label),
whip them off the bush.
While their stems are still
soft, use a needle to thread
them onto cotton, spacing them
slightly apart from each other
Greenhouses have many other uses
other than just for growing, including
drying and storing fruit and vegetables.
to encourage ventilation, then
hang them across the roof of the
greenhouse to dry.
Chillies dry within a few days
or a week or two depending on
conditions.
Dry bunches of herbs in the
greenhouse, tying their stems
loosely, and placing the bunches
heads down in a large paper bag
hung high in the structure (heat
rises so the higher they are hung
the better).
The bags serve to catch the
leaves (or seeds) as they fall.

Autumn has just reared her pretty head,
which means winter is not too far away.
We’ve just waved goodbye to daylight
saving and now the nights are drawing in,
there’s smoke in the air, and the grass is
heavy with dew in the mornings.
Besides getting into the garden for
those last few weeks of cleaning up after
summer, it’s also time to think about how
you can cut back on the ever-increasing
power bill as colder days and nights set in.
Reduce your winter power costs by
keeping the cold air out and the warm air
in.
Draw curtains at dusk This keeps
the heat from the day in and consider
installing a DIY window insulation kit,
which reduces the loss of heat through the
windows.
Stop draughts Find out where the
cold is sneaking in – use special tape
around windows and doors, make sure
windows fit their frames and place draught
excluders at the bottom of doors.
Turn your heaters off Heat rooms
when you need to. Close doors to reduce
the area you want to heat. Set your heater/
heat pump thermostat to 18 or 20 degrees.
Air your home Open windows and
doors a few times a day to let the moisture
escape. Dry clothes outside where possible
as moisture from wet clothes on indoor
airing racks will end up in your home.
Turn lights off Save energy when you
turn lights off and replace incandescent
light bulbs with energy efficient LEDs -
and save $100 or more a year on electricity
in your house.
Use less hot water Heating water is
expensive so using less hot water will help
reduce your energy bills. Use cold washes
for your laundry. A hot water wash can use
10 times more electricity than a cold wash.
Turn off appliances Finally turn off
those appliances left on standby including
televisions, stereos, game consoles and
computer equipment.
Making simple changes now can go a
long way to reducing your power bill over
the colder months.

Back to nature –
home trends for 2022
Reconnecting with
nature is just one of the
latest trends in interior
design. Bringing natural
elements into kitchens
and bathroom with walls,
ceilings, and floors finished
in raw timber, stone, and
concrete is influenced by
the European love of the
outdoors in both aesthetics
and lifestyle.
Earthy Tones
Colour trends lend
towards nature with earthy shades in
olive green, caramel, tan, ochre, clay
and chocolate browns. Timbers in
dark browns are making a comeback
too. Brown on brown provides a
retro look and can be teamed with
soft creams. Add pops of colour to
these earthy tones in combinations
such as ochre and aqua or for a
bolder, vibrant Mediterranean look
introduce yellow, red or blue.
Objects of desire
Handcrafted artisan objects
whether decorative or for everyday
use give a home that wonderful
feeling of nostalgia, comfort and
simplicity. Buy once and buy well is
a concept to consider when buying
new or second hand, whether it is
tactile piece of pottery, 100% linen
for the bed, a hand-crafted designer
chair, or an original painting. Look
for items that provide connectivity
to your family or the world around
you. It could be as simple as bringing
your grandmother’s old quilt out of
storage or purchasing a handmade
quilt crafted by women in India. Find
items that ground you and surround
yourself only with those things that
make you happy and that you love
with a passion.
Shape, line and style
Geometrics, symmetry, curves and
zigzags are everywhere in design
this year both indoors and outdoors
– kitchens, bathrooms, flooring,
pavement, and decking. Slim line
finger ‘kit kat’ tiles are proving a
popular elegant design element on
kitchen splash backs, bathroom walls
and are an ideal complement for the
soft, organic curves of a feature wall.
Contemporary style
High ceilings and large windows
are softened by floor-to-ceiling sheer
curtains. Sheers that can be pulled
back to let the sun stream in; sheers
that provide privacy when needed;
sheers that provide a soft diffused
light throughout the day and sheers
that billow softly in the breeze
when a door or window is opened.
Whatever the reason for having
sheer curtains in your home, there
is now a beautiful range of modern
fabrics to choose from to enhance
your dècor.

Toyota Camry goes all hybrid
ALONGSIDE Corolla, Camry is
one of Toyota’s most successful
global nameplates.
As a badge, it has been around
since the early 80s, its sedan and
wagon body style drawing a wide
cross-section of buyers from both
the business and private sector.
In recent years the Camry for
the New Zealand market has
been available as a 2.5-litre petrol
model, with much the same
engine aligned to Toyota’s Hybrid
Synergy Drive system and, of
course, the powerful V6 variant
that later morphed into Aurion.
Over the years the Camry has
been available with a multitude of
specification options, at one point
there were eight Camry variants
on offer here.
Today, and sadly a reflection
of buying trends that favour
sport utility vehicles against the
tradition of sedans, the Camry
is available here with just three
specification options. The most
dramatic change within the series
is that it is now only available with
the hybrid driveline, which is a
way of lowering carbon emissions.
I like sedans, I like the Camry
as a concept, and if there was
a hybrid in the Kiddie-family
car buying future, it would be
difficult not to choose a Camry,
it’s long been my favourite hybrid.
Saying that, of course, the same
2.5-litre hybrid driveline powers
other Toyota and Lexus models.
For 2022, the Camry here
has had bit of a facelift and a

realignment, there is more bling
in the model, and the body
style has had enhancements.
Depending on the variant,
there is a new grille, bumper
and wheels. Plus, there is more
emphasis in differentiation
between variants. The changes
come at a very opportune time,
the Camry qualifies for the
Government’s low emission
rebate scheme, depending on
the variant a buyer can recoup
between $2748 and $3160.
The Camry hybrid lists from
$43,990, the test car was the
high-spec leather-trimmed ZR
model at $52,490, while a sporty
SX version sits in-between at
$48,490. I’m due to drive the
latter soon, and that would
probably be the specification I
would look for, its sport tuned
suspension and 19in wheels make
it enticing.
However, the ZR model is
there for those who like the feel
of luxury, and it’s fair to say in
top-spec form the Camry borders
on the luxury car market, it is
plush, it has all the fitment and
features Toyota has in its bag of
goodies, and it is a wonderfully
comfortable car to drive and to
ride in. Space is plentiful, the rear
seat occupants can stretch their
legs, while shoulder and head
room is in abundance.
Column space doesn’t allow
for comprehensive detailing, but
major items fitted for comfort
and convenience amount to
TOYOTA CAMRY ZR: Borders on the luxury car market.
satellite navigation, head-up
display, electrically adjustable
front seats that have heating and
cooling, electrically adjustable
steering column, electric
panoramic sunroof and steering
wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Of course, the Camry also gets
a five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program rating, it
has all of the electronic functions
that make up the Toyota Safety
Sense suite of kit.
Under the bonnet sits a fourcylinder
engine. Toyota rates it
with a petrol/electric combined
total of 160kW and 213Nm,
with those healthy figures it is
a powerful unit, it is lively and
feels very torquey. As such, it
feels very normal to drive, of
course it wants to drive in electric
mode all of the time, but such are
the throttle demands that can’t
realistically happen.
The driver is always fully aware
of what is happening in terms
of propulsion, there are a raft of
gauges and displays to let you know
about the hybrid operation, and
if you are astute you can feel the
engine cutting in and out, but if
you don’t take any of that on-board,
you could be forgiven for thinking
that you are driving a standard
petrol-engined 2.5-litre car.
Performance is strong and
the Camry hybrid is quick – a
standstill to 100km/h time of
• Price – Toyota Camry ZR
hybrid, $52,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4905mm; width, 1840mm;
height, 1445mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
2498cc, 160kW,
213Nm, continuously
variable automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.1sec
• Fuel usage – 4.2/100km
8.1sec is on offer and it will
scamper through a highway
overtake in 6.9sec (80-120km/h).
But the figures that are most
important are those of fuel usage.
Toyota rates the hybrid system
with a best possible 4.2-litre per
100km combined cycle average.
At the end of a week with the
test car I returned it to the
dealership showing an average of
6.4l/100km.
These are good figures for a big
car, and particularly for one that
weighs in at over 1.5-tonne. It must
also be said I commuted daily into
the city centre and that type of
stop-start travel isn’t good for fuel
economy. I also drove the Camry
briskly during testing time, it feels
strong beneath the accelerator and
has handling to match.
In a corner the Camry hybrid
stays flat, at just 1.44m tall there
is little gravitational change, nor
body movement. High quality
Bridgestone Turanza tyres are
fitted, at 235/45 x 18in they offer
high grip levels and provide solid
information to the steering wheel.
Turn-in is direct, while suspension
movement easily arrests midcorner
bumps and deviations. The
spring and damper rates are well
engineered for the rough nature of
Canterbury’s roads, providing the
comfort levels we all expect from
a big car.
The Camry also has one of the
biggest load spaces for a sedan
that I can recall in recent times,
even in hybrid form the boot
space is cavernous.
It’s no wonder, then, that
Camry has been a taxi favourite
over the years. Toyota has
addressed that need, the entrylevel
model will fill that role well,
but what it has also done well is
making the Camry desirable for
those who don’t want to plunge
into the SUV market. There are
plenty of people like me who
like sedans, and Camry hybrid
will lure many who feel like they
are doing something for the
environment but want a bigger
hybrid than Prius.
At the same time, any Camry
buyer will know it has the benefit
of a hybrid system that has been
well proven and has Toyota’s
three-year/100,000km warranty.

BAYLEYS EXPANDS
ITS COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY
MARKET PRESENCE IN
CANTERBURY
Leading Canterbury real estate agency Bayleys is expanding its commercial and industrial
sales and leasing footprint in Christchurch - with the acquisition of rival firm MB Cook Ltd
to create the biggest sector-specific team in the region.
MB Cook’s six sales personnel will relocate from
their current premises in Show Place, Addington, to
Bayleys Canterbury’s head office in Deans Avenue
- which are currently being reconfigured and
refurbished to accommodate the new staff. Bayleys
Canterbury currently has 23 sales and leasing
personnel in the region’s commercial and industrial
property sectors.
Bayleys has enjoyed a strong presence in Selwyn’s
commercial and industrial property market for
many years – negotiating the sales and leases
of a substantial number of development land
opportunities and buildings in the commercial
and industrial locations of Rolleston and Izone.
Bayleys Canterbury chief executive officer
Pete Whalan said the merger with MB Cook Ltd
would further expand the agency’s presence in
Christchurch’s commercial and industrial property
markets – ranging from retail spaces and office
blocks, through to development landholdings,
warehouses, and manufacturing plants,
encompassing both sales and leasing negotiations.
“We’re excited about the MB Cook’s experienced
sales and leasing team joining the Bayleys brand
– bringing with them decades of experience and
networked connections in the greater Canterbury
region,” said Pete Whalan.
“The result will see the creation of the biggest
commercial and industrial sales and leasing team
in Canterbury, in what will be a formidable unit
supported by Bayleys’ extensive industry-leading
back-office support services, such as national print
and digital marketing in conjunction with a strong
community sponsorship programme both locally
and nationally.
“With support from Bayleys’ national and
international marketing initiatives, the MB Cook
team joining the brand will now be able to add even
more value to their vendor relationships – ensuring
the maximum value is achieved for their vendors
in the sale process.”
Bayleys Canterbury is part of Bayleys Real Estate
– New Zealand’s largest full-service real estate
agency with a network of 90 offices nationwide,
employing more than 2,000 sales and support
staff nationally. Meanwhile, MB Cook Ltd has been
trading in Christchurch – under several different
owners – since the 1970s.
The acquisition of MB Cook Ltd is the second
substantial real estate agency move Bayleys
Canterbury has made in the past month. At the
end of February, Bayleys Canterbury merged
with long-standing Selwyn-based residential and
lifestyle property sales focused real estate firm
Matson & Allan - with eight staff, and offices in
Leeston, Darfield and Rolleston.
Pete Whalan said the two agency acquisitions
reflected Bayleys’ long-term belief in the region’s
real estate markets and wider economy.

Landscaping enhances
new & existing homes
Building in a housing subdivision
invariably means the developer will require
you to submit a landscaping plan along
with your house design, to be approved
before building commences.
Just as important as considering
the features for your home will be
your outdoor setting. Indoor/outdoor
requirements will influence your choice
of house design and how it will be sited
on the section for a sunny yard and best
protection from prevailing winds like the
easterly. Having a second courtyard area
offering shelter from the north-west wind
is also an advantage in Selwyn.
A well thought out landscape plan will
also incorporate off-street parking space
for vehicles while ensuring your home
is attractive from the street. You might
want to factor in parking for a caravan,
motorhome or extra vehicles as well as a
turning circle for safe turning and exiting
your property (a legal requirement for
back sections).
The developer will only want to see a
landscape outline for the part of your
property which will be on view from the
street.
When choosing the design for your
home, address where you want hard
surfaces (driveway, paths and patios),
lawn, play areas and garden beds so it is
suitably positioned on the section. Even if
not all hard surface areas are completed at
the end of the build, knowing where they
will be located will be helpful.
If your build is nearing completion,
autumn is a good time to sow grass as the
cooler morning and evening dew assists
growth. As winter descends on us, ready
lawn is a better option at least at the front
of the section, which the developer will
require to be completed before moving in.
Your backyard could be left until spring
Landscaping presents a good first
impression, attracting buyers.
(another good time for seeding a lawn) if
you are happy to put up with the mud over
winter.
When selling an existing home, putting
effort into landscaping your yard could add
value by presenting a good first impression
and attracting buyers.
You need not rip out overgrown
established plants. Selective culling and
pruning can make a huge difference
to the look of a garden. Avoid hacking
everything down low. Instead take out
sprawling branches and thin shoots,
leaving a solid trunk; planting flowers like
lobelia, primula, pansies and polyanthus
underneath for impact. Add a layer of
mulch and spray the lawn for weeds then
follow up with lawn fertiliser to give a lush
green look.
The first thing people see is your home’s
exterior – the cladding, colours and
landscaping. Putting effort into these
features has the potential to add value to
new and existing properties. A garden
need not be masses of work. Planning and
choosing the right plants for the location
and your lifestyle can create a relatively
low maintenance outdoor setting while
enhancing your home.
Te Whāriki, nestled in the heart of Lincoln is

Home heating –
electricity, gas or wood?
How you heat your home depends on a
number of factors. Figuring out the best
way to heat your home continues to be a
matter for debate.
Several things are undisputed. A
warm, dry home is essential for
comfort and good health, good
insulation dramatically increases
the efficiency of any heating
system and ventilation is an
important consideration.
Most homes are
heated by electricity,
gas, or wood. In
New Zealand,
heating accounts
for approximately
30 percent of a
home’s annual energy
consumption. There are many
things you can do to reduce
consumption and cost.
The World Health Organisation
recommends a temperature of 18 deg C
for indoor living areas, and slightly less for
bedrooms. It recommends slightly higher
temperatures for vulnerable people – the
elderly and small children. Studies have
shown that indoor temperatures below 12
degrees can disrupt sleep.
Among all these considerations, how
you heat your home is a matter of personal
choice, with many options available.
Heat pumps are generally the most
common and cost-effective form of home
heating in New Zealand. Used properly,
they heat quickly and are convenient.
However, you need to have the right sized
unit for the area and they don’t work when
electricity is not available. They tend to be
room-specific but ducted heat pumps are
becoming more popular and are costeffective,
especially in new builds, but can
also be installed into established homes.
Modern wood burners may be the
closest you can get to an open-fire feel, but
are much more efficient. Wood is generally
a renewable fuel, and if you have a cheap
or free supply, a wood burner may be
the least expensive heating option. They
heat large areas and are not dependent
on electricity but there is the chopping
and stacking to be done, flues need to be
cleaned regularly and older models can
contribute to air pollution and may violate
strict air quality regulations – www.mfe.
govt.nz has detailed information regarding
this.
Pellet fires are typically more efficient
than wood burners but can have a smaller
output. They require electricity but
some have a battery backup and they are
thermostatically controlled with timers.
These must comply with regulations which
are also detailed on the Ministry for the
Environment website.
Gas heating is common and convenient.
Central heating systems can be zone
controlled and provide warm air
circulation. Flued gas heaters are best, as
unflued and portable gas heaters produce
lots of moisture and emit pollutants that
can be unsafe. Flued gas heating systems
can be installed in most homes. They are
fast heating and are relatively inexpensive
to run. However gas is not a renewable
resource and prices can vary widely.
The greatest source of energy is actually
free. Harnessing the sun can dramatically
reduce heating costs and is the most
environmentally friendly way to heat your
home. Passive heating combines insulation
with good design, accomplished more
effectively in new builds but also able to be
incorporated into existing homes.
Getting the sun’s warmth into your
home is a function of the design; keeping
it in is a function of the insulation. There
is a wealth of information online as passive
heating becomes normative in the design
and building industry.
Websites such as energywise.govt.
nz and smarterhomes.org.nz have
comprehensive information on and tips
for, heating your home in the colder
months.

Retirement
living in Selwyn
Selwyn is in great demand for
retirement living opportunities. As
people age, they may be looking
for greater security, peace of mind,
companionship, social interactions,
or downsizing and reducing
maintenance. There are many
reasons why living in a retirement
village is so popular. Many people
are now enjoying the benefits of
a simpler and easier lifestyle in
a lifestyle village or retirement
village.
The setups and fee structures
within different types of retirement
villages and lifestyle villages (for
those over 55) vary. Some villages
offer independent living only, while
others also provide assisted care
facilities. Each village has specific
licence-to-occupy (Occupation
Right Agreement) requirements.
When deciding on your living
options at retirement, it is best to
consider your long-term needs,
including if you wish to receive
the capital gain on the sale. With
a globally aging society and a
significant increase in Selwyn’s
population, there continues to be a
need for retirement living solutions.
Corrine Blackie from Woodcroft
Estate in Rolleston says there
has been more interest recently
in retirement living. She thinks
Covid-19 may have been a factor.
She suggests, “People being isolated
has a lot of people thinking about
coming into a village.” As sales of
the 2/3-bedroom duplexes and
standalone villas have been so
successful, she states, “we can’t
build them fast enough” to meet the
demand. She advised that it used
to be just people from Rolleston
moving into the retirement
villages, but it now appears they are
relocating from other parts of New
Zealand to live in Selwyn. As with
the real estate market, buyers from
the North Island are getting better
value with their sales proceeds
to buy into a village retirement
property in the Selwyn region.
Other retirement villages within
Selwyn also confirm an ongoing
demand for retirement living, with
the land purchased to construct
more villas, apartments, hospitals
and care facilities. For example,
Karen from the Boulevard in
Rolleston says they are seeing more
demand for larger 2/3-bedroom
villas with double garages. She
states, “The demographics of elderly
are not high in Rolleston compared
to other areas, but people who
might be moving closer to their
family do increase it.” That desire
for social connection has seen
people returning to Christchurch
and choosing the lifestyle and sense
of community that a retirement
village can provide.
The fastest-growing region
in New Zealand, Selwyn offers
desirable locations and options for
retirement living with appealing
community facilities and new retail
and hospitality venues nearby to
meet your lifestyle needs.
