Proposal at 

Ohoka for 

850 homes 

Aproposal to create alarge newsubdivision for 

about 850 houses at Ohokahas passed throughits 

first stage. 

Aprivate plan change request to develop anew 

155.9 hectare subdivision was accepted for 

notification at acouncilmeetingonTuesday. 

Thedeveloper, Rolleston Industrial Developments 

Ltd,isproposing to build aresidential subdivision 

between Whites and Bradleys Roads at Ohoka, of 

varying property sizes. 

Theproposed development also includesaround 

6000square metres of commercial floor space and 

car parking, and thereisprovision foreither anew 

school or aretirement village. 

In areport to Tuesday’s councilmeeting, principal 

policyplanner MarkBuckley saysthere were no 

grounds forrejecting the request outright. 

But he did note the plan change requestinits 

present form would substantially change the District 

Planand the council’s Rural ResidentialStrategy. 

Thereisgeneral acceptance urban developmentis 

necessary to cater for anticipated populationgrowth 

among theGreater Christchurch partners. 

Butthe proposed Ohoka subdivisionwas not 

identified for development in the OurSpace 

20182048: GreaterChristchurch Settlement Pattern 

Update, which was prepared in 2018. 

Thedeveloper argues in its application the 

proposal ‘‘isgenerally consistent with theobjectives 

and policies of the National Policy Statementon 

Urban Development’’. 

Mr Buckley saysthese arguments wouldbe best 

assessed at apublic hearing. 

Mayor Dan Gordon says the council’s decision to 

accept the private planchangerequest for 

notification is ‘‘aproceduralmatter’’and ‘‘does not 

signalsupport or otherwise’’. 

‘‘This is not aproposal that the council has 

initiated or evenanticipated. The council will be 

making its decision on whether to make asubmission 

in thecoming weeks andwewill be appointing 

someone to offer independent advice.’’ 

Councillorsalso passed amotion to appoint ‘‘a 

friend of submitters’’. 

Mr Gordon says ‘‘a friend of submitters’’ is a 

concept employed by neighbouring councils, where 

someone withplanning expertise is appointedto 

assist members of thepublic wanting to make a 

submission.

The caregiver of aWowauzer called 

Beau has hadalong,anxious waitfor 

him to return from a41/2 hour 

adventureinthe Ashley Rakahuri 

RegionalPark. 

Beau is owned by Shona Wix,of 

Rangiora, but theminiature 

SchnauzerWelsh terrier cross was in 

the parklast Thursday afternoonwith 

Shona’s daughter,JoWix, and Jo’s dog 

Billyfor theirafternoon exercise. 

Jo is also her mother’scaregiver and 

exercisesboth dogstogether twice a 

day, ofteninthe Ashley Rakahuri 

RegionalPark in Rangiora. 

Last Thursday she arrived at the 

park around 4pm and let the dogs out 

of her car for their late afternoon 

exercise. They both ran off together, 

but ashortwhile later only Billy 

returned. 

Beau is Shona’s best friend and a 

very precious member of the Wix 

family, so when he didn’treturnwith 

Billy, Jo was immediately concerned. 

‘‘I couldn’t go home withouthim,’’ Jo 

said.‘‘He is such awee cutie, mum 

wouldbeabsolutely distraught if 

anything happened to him.’’ 

So shestayed where she had last 

seen Beau, and kept calling out to him. 

Billywent off to lookfor his canine 

companion acouple of times, but 

returned alone and as darkness 

approachedJobecameincreasingly 

anxious about the wee dog, fearing he 

may be stuck down arabbit hole 

somewhere in the park. 

‘‘Terrible things go through your 

mind.They both lovechasing rabbits 

and thereare so many in the park.’’ 

Jo’s son, Andrew, joined her at the 

park to helpher findhim. He drove 

around the park calling out to Beau, 

and eventuallyhethoughthesaw the 

little dog in another area of the park 

fromwhereJowas waiting. 

Jo joined Andrew there and soon 

after, around 8.30pm,a‘‘saturated, 

meekand mild’’Beau arrived,jumped 

into Jo’s car keen for the food she had 

waiting for him. He was alittle worse 

for wear, and snoozed on Shona’s bed 

most of the next day.

Average rate rise of 4.5 percent 

By DAVID HILL 

The proposed Pegasusand Ravenswood 

community centre projects are on hold 

while the Waimakariri DistrictCouncil 

considers its options. 

Councillorsvoted lastweek to defer 

the process of purchasing land in 

Pegasus and Ravenswood, north 

Woodend, during its annual plan 

deliberations 

Deferringthe processbyayear will 

allow council staff to continue 

negotiations with developers for suitable 

land, greenspace manager Grant 

MacLeod said in areporttothe meeting. 

The delay will allowthe council to 

consider all the options including a 

possible public /private partnership 

with Pegasus developerTempleton 

Group,Mayor Dan Gordonsays. 

‘‘Clearlywewant to explore all those 

details and have aconversation with the 

community to see if they thinkit’s agood 

option.’’ 

The council set aside $6.1 million for 

the 2022/23 financial year in last year’s 

2021/31 Long TermPlan for land 

purchases in Pegasus and Ravensdown. 

The intentionwas to begin 

construction on anew Pegasus 

Community Centre in 2024, whilea 

Ravenswood facility was signalled for 

later in the LTP period. 

The council settled on an average4.5 

percent rates rise in this year’sannual 

plan, up from the 4.2% signalled in last 

year’sLTP, with the extra 0.3% due 

largely to the rising costofconstruction 

materials. 

‘‘Our staff have worked very hard to 

come up with what is arealistic budget 

for agrowing district,’’ Mr Gordon says. 

‘‘There has been aseries of workshops 

with staff and elected memberstoget to 

this point and we also realise it’s ahard 

time for our community,soweneed to

keepthem (rates) at alevel that keeps 

themaffordable.’’ 

The rates rise includescontributions 

towardsthe council’s earthquakeloan 

and the MainPower Stadiumloan,while 

Covid19, the situation in the Ukraine, 

rising fuel prices and inflation are all 

having an impact. 

Council staffare also predicting 

another 825 new houses could be builtin 

the districtover the next 12 months, as 

the region continues to grow. 

‘‘It’s all interlinked. All things 

considered, to get to wherehave got to, to 

keepitto4.5%, it’s been ahuge 

achievement,’’ Mr Gordon says. 

The council also approved an extra 

$20,000 for the WaimakaririYouth 

Council’s DudleyPark project, alongside 

the $20,000 approved in the 2019/20 

annualplan. 

The youth council is also finalising 

community sponsorshipsoitcan finally 

complete the project,which has been 

delayed due to Covid19. 

The OxfordArts Trust is to receive an 

additional oneoff grant of $5000toassist 

with its operational costs.

The council is due to meet again on 

June 14 to ratify the annualplan. 

Paua fishery closure successful 

Paua are popular amongrecreational 

fishers at Kaikoura. 

The results of asurvey taken during a 

temporaryopening over the summer— 

December 1toFebruary 28 —saw over35 

tonnes of the popularshellfishharvested. 

The fishery was closed for nearly five 

yearsalong thecoastline after the 2016 

earthquakes whichcaused significant 

uplift and loss of marine life. 

DirectorofFisheries Management, 

Emma Taylor, says science indicates the 

closure was successful in rebuilding the 

fishery,especially in shallow wading 

depths where large paua are particularly 

abundant. 

She saysthe accessible stock and really 

good summerweather brought outlotsof 

recreational fishers, both localand 

visiting. 

‘‘This fishery is precious, and we’ve 

worked closely withthe community to take 

alongterm view of its management. The 

openingover the summerwas always 

intended to be temporary to give us an 

indicationofhow the fishery would 

respondtofishing pressure. We will use 

this informationtohelp us make future 

decisions about the fishery.’’ 

Thesurvey of more than1700 

recreational fishers overthe season 

estimates that fisherstook around2.8 

tonnes of paua fromthe northern part of 

thefishery (PAU 7), around 35 tonnesfrom 

thesouthernpart of the fishery (PAU3A). 

Thesurvey showed many people 

gatheredpaua fromthe shore,and in more 

accessible areas, such as thosenear or 

aroundcarparks. Theresults also indicate 

that less recreational paua fishing took 

placeoutside of these areas. 

‘‘On top of being able to find paua close 

to the shore, thesurveyshowed that most 

paua taken were larger than 130mm well 

abovethe minimum size limitof125mm,’’ 

says Ms Taylor. 

Therewas an increasedpresence of MPI 

Fishery Officers patrollingthe area over 

the open season. Of the people spoken to 

more than90percentwerefollowing the 

rules. 

‘‘Unfortunately,therewere some that 

didn’t followthe rules resulting in around 

120 offences,with most of thosepeople 

receivingeither awarningor 

infringement,and two facing 

prosecution.’’ The preliminary survey 

results are being peerreviewed,and 

available on MPI’s website when 

completed.

Staffing, costs affect businesses 

Pressures affecting businesses the 

world overhave seepedinto the North 

Canterbury business community, 

according to the latest economic 

surveys released this month. 

Enterprise North Canterbury’s 

business opinionsurvey and the 

Waimakariri District Quarterly 

Economic Monitor from Infometrics 

have highlighted significantrises in 

cost, and difficultiesrecruiting staff, 

are weighingheavily on localbusiness 

operators. 

Eightypercentofrespondents in the 

North Canterbury Business Opinion 

Surveyreported increased costs over 

the pastsix months,whichhas had a 

flowon effectinto profitability. 

As aresult, 44% of surveyed 

businesseshave had to increase their 

pricesinthe past six months,with 59% 

expecting to do so before the end of the 

year. 

Enterprise North Canterbury 

business supportmanager Miles Dalton 

says the dataoncost increases was 

significant, but not surprising. 

‘‘This is the highestresponse to 

increased coststhat we have had since 

thissurvey began nine yearsago in 

2013. 

‘‘It is not unexpected as rising costsof 

doing business are currently an issue 

worldwide due to alarge number of 

factors including risinginflation, war in 

Ukraine,supplychainbottlenecks, 

increasing oil prices and climate 

impact among other things.’’ 

Labour shortages are another 

problemfor businesses worldwide at 

present,and NorthCanterbury 

businesses are also feeling this. 

Survey respondentsstate that it is 

significantlyharder to find bothskilled 

and unskilled staffthan it was six 

months ago. 

‘‘This is atrend we are seeingthe 

world over,’’ Mr Dalton says. 

‘‘Our local businesses are facing a 

supply shortage of suitable applicants, 

alack of trainingamong those thatdo 

apply, and issues with the current 

immigrationpolicy settings. 

‘‘Despite this triple whammy,the 

number of peopleemployed in North 

Canterburycontinues to grow.’’ 

The employment rate is not the only 

positive to emergefrom the reports, 

with the Infometrics Monitor showing 

increasesintourismexpenditure, 

consumer spending and 10.5% GDP 

growth on the previous year. 

Results also show thatlocal 

businesses are investing more heavily 

in plant and equipment thanatany time 

since2014, which Mr Dalton says is 

extremely positive. 

‘‘Investinginplant and equipment is 

asure sign of business confidence,’’he 

says. 

The survey indicates a4%net 

improvement in business confidence 

amonglocal businessoperators. 

‘‘Allinall, the results show that while 

things are difficult at the moment, 

NorthCanterbury businessesare 

continuing to weather the storm and 

maintain positivity,’’ Mr Dalton says.

Relationship queried 

By DAVID HILL 

The HurunuiDistrict Council plans 

to resumeits Chinese connections, 

despite concernsover human rights 

abuses. 

MayorMarie Black advised 

councillors at last week’s council 

meeting thatshe had been invited to 

meet with new Chinese Consul to 

Christchurch, Madam He Ying, 

whichled to adiscussion aboutthe 

council’s sistercity relationship 

with Changping province. 

Whilethe link was formally 

established in 2015, the uncertainty 

of Covid19 has led to astallingofthe 

relationship over the last two years. 

Councillors recognised the legacy 

of Rewi Alley, who was schooled in 

Amberleybefore spending 60 years 

in China, and the economic benefits 

to the region. 

But several expressedconcerns 

aboutChina’s human rightsrecord. 

‘‘Youcan’t just gloss over human 

rights issues,’’ Cr Ross Barnes says. 

‘‘Youcan’t just turnablind eyeto 

things we believe in, in this 

country.’’ 

Despite some reservations, 

councillors agreedtoresumethe 

links. 

Councillors alsoapproved funding 

for flood remediation works, anew 

road naming and new fees and 

charges. Funding of $305,000 was 

approved as the council’s share of 

emergency worksvaluedatjust over 

$1 million following the December 

2021 rain eventand excyclone Dovi 

in February. 

The local sharewill be loan 

funded, withWaka Kotahi New 

Zealand TransportAgency expected 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Black 

to contribute72percent of the costs. 

The flooddamage includes 

scouringofroadsides and bridges,a 

section of LakeSumner Road which 

was washedaway,damagetofords 

and washouts which narrowed 

roads. 

The repair works willalso 

improve theresilience of roads and 

bridges in abid to reducelong term 

maintenance costs. 

Councillors have adopted the 

name of FosterPlace for anew road 

created by the subdivision of 60 

Osborne Road, 63 Courage Roadand 

4Aberdeen Place in Amberley. 

The road is namedafter Amberley 

resident Barrie Foster,alocal 

electrician who has given service to 

the Amberley School, Amberley 

Lions, AmberleyRugby Cluband the 

Amberley VolunteerFire Brigade. 

Anew schedule of fees and 

charges has been adopted, which 

reflects rising costs to the council. 

Details of the new chargeswill be 

available on the council’s website.

Rangiora centenarian to be remembered 

Mary Elm Ager had acalm, 

philosophical nature. 

The centenarian, who contributed 

much to the Rangiora community, died 

last month, aged 104. 

Mary was born on September 15, 1917 

in Wairoa, where her father, Theo, an 

architect, designed the Wairoa Freezing 

Works and became managers before the 

family moved from Hawke’s Bay to 

Christchurch in 1926. Acouple of years 

later the family shifted to Rangiora, 

where Theo became manager of the 

Farmers Trading Company department 

store. He was also deputy Mayor of 

Rangiora for atime. 

Mary attended Rangiora High School 

and later became aboarder at St 

Margaret’s College in Christchurch, 

before eventually joining her father 

working for the Farmers, twice, for a 

total of 35 years. She retired at 60 to look 

after her mother. 

Mary was an avid community worker 

supporting the North Canterbury 

Soroptomists, Probus (now known as 

Friendship New Zealand), the Rangiora 

Museum, and Rangiora Lions. 

Travel played abig part in her life. 

The elegant centenarian spent three 

years during her 30s working as ananny 

in New York, where acousin was the 

New Zealand ConsulGeneral and trade 

commissioner, before visiting other 

areas of the United States and Canada. 

In New York —‘‘the city that never 

sleeps’’ —Mary was excited to find 

stylish shoes to fit her long feet. Mary 

also attended many diplomatic 

functions in New York, where she met 

people from all over the world. She also 

travelled to Europe. In England, one of 

her highlights was avisit to Buckingham 

Palace for agarden party, where she 

stood close to the Queen, while afamily 

trip to Australia in 1939 also proved 

unforgettable. 

During aroad trip from New South 

Wales to Melbourne, where Mary’s 

father, Theo, was born, the family 

experienced the Black Friday bushfires 

in Victoria. The heat was so intense that 

Mary and her siblings spread ice cream 

on their faces to cool down. 

The rough sea voyage home to New 

Zealand also proved unforgettable with 

many people on board, including Mary’s 

mother, Grace, becoming sea sick. 

She outlived her two brothers and a 

sister. She never married, although she 

was engaged, but sadly her fiancé died 

during the war. 

Mary was acherished aunt of Joanne 

and Dinesh Chand, Susan and Russell 

King and Peter and Sharyn Ager, and 

Great Aunt of Matthew King, Laura and 

Torran James, Joshua King, Nikhil 

Chand and Vijay Chand, according to 

her Memorial notice. 

AMemorial Service is being held for 

Mary at 2pm, on Friday, June 3, at the 

Northbrook Chapel and Rossburn 

Reception Centre, Rangiora. Donations 

to St John Ambulance in lieu of flowers.

OPINION 


In the Electoratewith 

MattDoocey 

MP forWaimakariri 

Authorised by Matt Doocey MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington. 

Helping constituents 

arewarding part of job 

As alocal MP one of the most rewarding 

aspects of my role is getting results for 

constituentslike ICU nurseCarlos Molina. 

Carlos was stooddown fromhis job at 

Christchurch Hospital after contracting 

Covid. 

He came to see me after finding himself 

off work, and without pay. 

He wasn’table to get his mandatory 

booster vaccine due to having recently had 

the virus, but was unable to get an 

exemption from theMinistry of Health in a 

timely fashion. 

AfterIcontacted the CDHBCarlos was 

quickly back to workonfull pay. 

Thankfully afterspeakingtothe Ministry 

of Health an announcementwas made to 

review and amend the exemption process 

across the country that willensureno 

otherhealth workers willhave to go 

through the bureaucratic bungle that 

Carlos experienced. 

We needpeople like Carlosacross the 

country to be working in our hospitals, not 

sitting at home unpaid because of delays in 

the system. 

This was agreat resultnot only for 

Carlos but for manyothers like him across 

New Zealand. 

I’ve alsobeen advocating locallyfor 

residents and businesses affectedbythe 

closure of one lane on the old Waimakariri 

Bridge, following an accident two weeks 

ago. 

Abig part of this issuehas beenthe utter 

confusion over whichagencyis 

responsible for the bridgesrepairs. 

With NZTA Waka Kotahi and the 

Christchurch City Councilseemingly 

confused for anumberofdays overwhose 

bridgeitwas, places like Waimak 

Challengepetrol station were losing 

business because of the lack of passing 

traffic. 

As the only alternative route in and out 

of Christchurch if the motorway bridge is 

closed, we need abetterprocess to identify 

the responsible agency and swiftly get on 

with the repair. 

Iwas saddened to hear of the recent 

passing of Dame ArohaReritiCrofts 

DNZM who, in the 2020Queen's Birthday 

Honours, wasappointed aDame 

Companion of the New ZealandOrderof 

Merit for herservices to Māori and the 

community. Ihad the privilegeof 

attending areception at Parliament with 

formerWaimakariri MP Kate Wilkinsonto 

celebrate Dame Aroha’s appointment, as 

well as alocal celebration in Rangiora 

with Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon. 

Ilovedspeaking withCanterbury 

University politicsstudentsinKaiapoi 

recently about relevant public policy 

issuesfor regional New Zealand. 

We covered topics including the current 

astronomicalhouse priceinflation, the 

achievability of reliable public transport 

in the regions, afterhourshealthcare, and 

theneed to support our farmers who 

underpin the need to support ourfarmers, 

who underpin ourlocal economies. 

Waimakariri 

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor 

Afocus on budgets 

The cold weather is here,but I’ve 

stillbeen enjoyingthe last of the 

autumn sunshine and getting out to 

enjoynumerouseventsacross the 

Districtover the lastfew weeks. 

It has been abusy month for 

council withthe focus being on 

budgets, hearing submissions and 

decision making. 

As acouncil we believe we have 

landed on aprudent and responsible 

budget that recognises we are a 

growing district and, in the times of 

Covidand an uncertaineconomic 

climate,weneed to keep rate 

increasesaslow as possible. 

We agreedonanaverage rate rise 

of 4.5 percent. 

We understandthat it is one of the 

lowest rate increasesinNew 

Zealand. 

Each year,the Waimakariri 

DistrictCouncil celebrates the 

people who have madegreat 

contributions to theWaimakariri 

District. 

Now in their 30th year, the 

WaimakaririCommunity Service 

Awards formally recognisethe 

substantial commitment of the 

unsung heroes who work quietly in 

the background makingour 

communityabetterplacetolive. 

Last week we heldthe ceremony 

for the award recipients along with 

theirfamily, friends and supporters. 

This year there weretwo Mayors 

Awardrecipients, and 11 people 

received aCommunity Service 

Award,including three couples. 

Anew awardcategory, aBusiness 

Award,was established. 

There were alsotwo awards 

presented during the year. 

To find out more about the 

recipients visit waimakariri.govt.nz. 

We arefortunate to have adistrict 

full of passionatepeople who 

dedicate themselvesand their time 

to the bettermentofWaimakariri. 

While Iknow many do so because 

of their passionfor the community, 

it is important we thank and 

celebrate them, and their significant 

contributions. 

It is the least we can do, on behalf 

of agrateful community, to say 

thankstopeople whogothe extra 

mile to give outstanding service. 

This month we have sadlylost two 

significantmembers of our 

community. 

Kaiapoi’sChris Greengrass and 

council’s kaumatua DameAroha 

ReritiCrofts. 

Both had given hugely to their 

communitiesover anumber of years 

—Dame Arohaatboth alocal and 

national level. 

Our community is so muchthe 

betterfor their involvement, and we 

mourn our loss with theirpassing. 

Our thoughtsgoout to their 

families at this sad time. 

Rest in peace Chrisand Dame 

Aroha.

Planting in new Kaiapoi community space 


11 

Two community leaders have been 

remembered during the first planting 

day for anew heritage and mahinga kai 

area in Kaiapoi. 

The remembrance was made by 

Waimakariri District Mayor, Dan 

Gordon, who along with Te Marino 

Lenihan (Ngai Tuahuriri), and his 

daughter KuraTawhiti Rupene, aged 4, 

of Tuahiwi, planted one of five young 

totara trees at Huria Reserve last 

Saturday morning. 

Mr Gordon said it was really 

important and significant to be planting 

the totara, which are recognised 

symbols of nobility, strength and social 

solidarity, in the new community space 

at atime when the Waimakariri 

community was mourning the loss of 

Dame Aroha ReritiCrofts, who died on 

May 20, and Chris Greengrass, who died 

on May 15. 

Both women were highly regarded 

leaders in the community and will be 

greatly missed, he said. 

The new heritage and mahinga kai 

area is located in the south of Kaiapoi, 

off Courtenay Drive, and aims to 

recognise the significance of cultural 

values for the Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga. 

The Regeneration Kaiapoi project is a 

collaboration between the Te Kohaka o 

Tuhaitara Trust, the Ngai Tuahuriri 

Runanga and the Waimakariri District 

Council. 

It will include walking trails, anative 

forest, an eel fishing area, education 

hub, acarved waharoa (gateway), agrass 

amphitheatre, awetland area and an 

area for waka carving. 

The harvesting of harakeke (flax) and 

raupo, (a New Zealand bulrush 

traditionally used for construction, 

decoration and poi making) is also 

planned at the reserve. 

Helping out ... Waimakariri District Mayor, Dan Gordon with Te Marino Lenihan (Ngai 

Tuahuriri), of Tuahiwi, with his daughter KuraTawhiti Rupene, aged 4, after they planted 

atotara during the community planting day at Huria Reserve in Kaiapoi last Saturday.

Eight hundred small trees were 

planted by alarge group of volunteers 

who attended the planting day last 

Saturday. 

The volunteers included Karl Batt and 

his son Te Ariki, aged 8, of Leeston, who 

also helped plant Kaiapoi's Honda 

Forest during several community 

planting days beginning in 2019. 

The council’s landscape architect and 

project manager for the Huria Reserve 

project, HannahRose White, said she 

was thrilled with the turnout of 

volunteers on Saturday who planted 800 

young native trees and plants, including 

totara, kahikatea, kanuka, ribbonwood, 

lemonwood and harakeke. 

More planting days are planned with a 

total of 4000 trees to be planted in the 

new reserve.

Events returning to town 

Events are happening again in Kaiapoi 

with the relaxing of Covid19 restrictions. 

The Kaiapoi Promotion Association 

kicked off last night (June 1) with anew 

initiative, ‘‘Kaiapoi Korero’’, as a 

rebranded mix and mingle evening for 

local businesses. 

The first event was held at the Kaiapoi 

Coastguard Rooms with asome quickfire 

tips on how to survive in business in 

the present uncertain environment. 

Speakers included Debs Taylor 

Hayhurst, from Success Factor 

Consultancy and Coaching, Guy Graham, 

from Enterprise North Canterbury, 

Michelle Hansen, from Corcoran French, 

and Michelle Becks, from the Ministry of 

Social Development. 

Next up on the calendar is the Kaiapoi 

Promotion Association teaming up with 

the Kaiapoi Food Forest to celebrate 

Matariki on Friday, June 24, from 11am 

to 3pm, with stalls available. 

Tickets are $15 per plate for aclassic 

Maori hangi of meats and vegetables 

cooked in the traditional way. It will be 

served at 2pm. 

For more information or to buy tickets,

The Kaiapoi River Carnival is set to 

return on Sunday, October 2, with the 

Inflatarun Challenge for local children 

also due to be held in October. 

The relaxing of the Covid19 

restrictions also means the Kaiapoi 

Promotion Association can plan ahead 

for the Kaiapoi Christmas Carnival and 

Santa Parade for Saturday, December 3. 

‘‘Planning for this iconic event is a 

huge undertaking and Kaiapoi 

Promotion is getting the fires stoked up 

now to ensure that there is an awesome 

event for everyone to enjoy,’’ vicechairperson 

Aaron Lovelace says. 

Funding is already secured, thanks to 

the fund providers allowing the funds

from last year’s cancelled carnival to 

carry over for this year. 

With the Christchurch Santa Parade 

looking unlikely to go ahead for the third 

year in arow, Kaiapoi is set to once again 

be the first out of the blocks to bring 

Christmas cheer to the region. 

Keep an eye on the website 

kaiapoicarnival.co.nz for more

Trousselot Park for Matariki. 

All Together Kaiapoi is gearing up

festivities there will be kapa haka 

performances from local schools and 

Kaiapoi High School’s famous hangi. 

There will be live music, including

Wrestling takes centrestage 

Everyone has fond 

memories of professional 

wrestling from their 

childhood, characters that 

were tougher than old boot 

leather and their larger 

than life personalities. 

Even their catch phrases 

were replicated in the 

playground. 

Who hasn’t at one time 

mimicked the Macho Man 

Randy Savage’s ‘‘ooohhhh 

yeaaaahhhh’’ in that trade 

mark gravelly voice or 

even Hulk Hogan’s ‘‘what 

cha gunna do brother’’ 

while flexing their biceps? 

If that brought back fond 

memories you might want 

to be at the Kaiapoi Club 

and MSA on Saturday, 

June 18, for Unified 

Championship Wrestling’s 

Big Event. 

Why is it called the big 

event? 

Well it is simple really. 

That’s because it is an 

event so big it has to have 

two main events, that’s 

right two main events. 

Fan favourites such as 

Bogan Jesus, Rhys Gibson, 

In The Zone and the 

Hu$tla will be in action, as 

will those you love to hate, 

Unified Heavyweight 

Champion Robbo the 

Aussie Dreamboat and the 

Superior John Henry.

expect to see are singles 

and tag team matches, as 

well as abattle royale and 

for the first time ever in a

In brief... 

Your feedback on the Draft Annual Plan 

Bokashi bins let you recycle your food waste. 

COMPLETED PROJECTS: 

The new weighbridge atAmberley Transfer Station 

Rogersons Bridge: The hardwood timber wheel rubs have been replaced, which were 

recycled from the Lyttleton Wharf. The ford access on the north side will remain open and all 

wide vehicles are encouraged to use this. Road markings to highlight the three metre 

maximum width and point to the ford location have been installed, and acamera will also be 

installed to monitor what goes over the bridge. 

Amberley Weighbridge: Please make sure you follow the painted arrows and enter via the 

new weighbridge and exit via the original one. Remember when entering and exiting the 

transfer station, always use the weighbridge on your left. This weighbridge is one of the 

projects listed in the Council's Long Term Plan. 

Rotherham Toilets: Rotherham’s community development project Village Green has 

reached another milestone, with the completion of the new toilets. These have been funded 

by Council and the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. Landscaping options are being discussed 

amongst the community. 

Cheviot was originally (just for ashort period) named McKenzie, after John McKenzie, the 

Minister of Lands, who facilitated the purchase ofthe Cheviot Hills estate for the 

Government from ‘Ready Money’ Robinson’s five daughters. It was subsequently divided 

into 54small farms, and the town was named Cheviot.

Padi puts her hand up 

Padi Nistalehas three passions — 

communityconnection, the 

environment,and governance. 

Thesehave prompted Padi to put her 

hand up for election in the local 

government elections in October, in the 

WaimakaririDistrictCouncil’s 

Rangiora Ashley Ward. 

Localgovernment is new to Padi,but 

she is already involved in many local 

initiativesand organisations following 

her move to alifestyle block in the 

WaimakaririDistrictin2014. Padi says 

sincebecoming relatively selfsufficient 

on theirlifestyle block, and 

having plantedtrees to help reduce 

theircarbon footprint, she believes as 

much foodproduction as possible in the 

Waimakaririshould be brought back 

home.Itwould be good for the 

environment,she says. 

Massive action was required in ‘‘our 

own backyard’’ to tackle climate 

change. 

Padi says there is adisconnect 

between making policy and putting 

wordsinto action. 

‘‘If people can come together, and 

starttaking action, and seek help 

through the local council,wecan make 

changes happen. 

‘‘That is one of the big reasons Iam 

standing,’’ she says. 

But her biggestpassion is community 

connectiveness. 

‘‘I love being part of the community,’’ 

she says. 

Padi says she has moved alot in life 

and havingbuilt theirhome on their 

lifestyleblock six years ago, it is now the 

longest she has stayed anywhere in her 

life. 

Four of those yearshave beenspent 

in avoluntary role for the Waimakariri 

Barriers for Crate Day 

Temporarybarriersmay be installed at 

access points on theAshleyRakahuri River 

on CrateDay laterthis year to stop 4WD

The North CanterburyDepartmentof 

Conservation(DOC) is considering 

installing the barriersafterdriversoflarge 

numbers of 4WD vehiclesentered the river 

bed in Waimakariri’s AshleyRakahuri 

RegionalPark. 

CrateDay, which is held annuallyonthe 

firstSaturday in December to celebratethe 

startofsummer, has been widelycriticised 

by police and members of Parliament for 

also promoting binge drinking. 

Last year DOC staff collaborated with 

AshleyRakahuri RivercareGroup(ARRG) 

volunteers and EnvironmentCanterbury 

stafftoprotect nestingareas alongthe river 

during Crate Day.

Padi Nistale

Waimakariri. The group celebrates 

diversity, and fosters agreater 

understanding of different cultures and 

what it's like moving to New Zealand. 

Padi thought volunteering was a 

waste of time,but has found it 

liberating. ‘‘It has givenmesuch a 

buzz.’’ 

This has led to her joining several 

other groups and organisations 

including Rangiora Rotary, Rangiora

For species which nest in colonies, 

such as blackbilled gulls, this 

disturbance can mean the entire colony is 

abandoned. Last year, acoupleofweeks 

before Crate Day, ARRG volunteers did a 

bird count from the AshleyGorge to the

Taskforce changing lives 

The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs 

programme in the Hurunui District is 

changing lives. 

At agathering to celebrate another 

year of work placements, youngsters said 

the programme had turned their lives 

around. 

The programme is governmentfunded 

and connects local businesses with those 

displaced from work by Covid19, 

creating sustainable opportunities for 

both parties. 

Lenix Trembath says her experience in 

the programme has been life changing. 

“My selfesteem and confidence 

skyrocketed. That’s what kept me going 

when the work got tough. 

‘‘My future looks so much brighter than 

it did ayear ago,’’she says. 

Certificates of achievement were 

awarded by Mayor Marie Black, and she 

spoke about the collaboration between 

the Ministry of Social Development 

(MSD), Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs and 

Hurunui District Council. 

‘‘Through these partnerships we have 

managed to place almost 100 youths in 

sustainable work over the past two years. 

‘‘I am extremely grateful for our 

partners, businesses and staff who have 

invested their time into our young 

people.’’ 

MSD Account Manager Jamie Kissock 

and Rangiora colleagues attended the 

celebration, along with programme coordinator 

Emma Anderson, chair of 

MTFJ and Mayor of Otorohanga District 

Council, Max Baxter ,North Canterbury 

businesses, parents, and council staff. 

Business Partnerships adviser Chris 

King and programme coordinator Jo

have witnessed such positive changes in 

the youth. 

‘‘Being on this journey with our youth 

has been very fulfilling, we are extremely 

proud of them and wish them the best for 

their futures,’’ Chris says.

North Canty Careers Expo goes online 

By DAVID HILL 

TheNorth Canterbury Youth Futures 

Careers Expo has gone online to avoid 

any Covid19 disruption. 

Originally scheduled for June 22, the 

planning committee made thedecision 

earlierthis yeartocancelthe facetofaceeventduetoCoviduncertainty. 

Rangiora HighSchool associate 

principal Paul DonnellysayswithCovid 

likely to be onthe scenefor thenextfew 

years, the partners decided to explore 

creating an online resource to support 

local youth. 

‘‘It created somechallenges. How do 

we reach young people in the online 

environment in awaythat willgive them 

arichandinformativeexperience? 

‘‘Thechallenge will be, are we going to 

catch those youngpeople whoneedthe 

support?’’ 

The development of the online 

platform is being ledbyWaimakariri 

District Councilyouth development 

facilitator Emily Belton and Joseph 

Houghton, from theMinistry of 

Education. 

Therehas been engagement with local 

school students to find out what they 

would to see on the platform and the 

results indicatemanyyoungpeoplehave 

putsome thought into their futures. 

Responses varied depending on the 

age of students and whether they were 

rural or urban. 

Some envisaged that careers maytake 

themoverseas,while recognition of the 

importance of the Treaty of Waitangi 

and concerns forthe environment 

featured strongly. 

‘‘For our young people, finding work 

that is meaningful seems to be apriority 

andthenature of wealthis different. 

‘‘Yes,itwas aboutmaking money, but 

it wasn’t the top thing. It was about 

following their passions and their 

❛For our young people, finding

interests andknowing thattheywould 

have to do some work to getthere.’’ 

Mr Donnelly says the platform will 

havea‘‘smorgasboard of information’’, 

including information about institutions 

and local businesses, qualifications and 

training required for certain jobs and 

some videocontent. 

‘‘Becauseit’sgoingonlinethe 

timeframehas changed. There may be a 

startdate, but this thing can go on for as 

long as we like. 

‘‘The challenge will be keeping the 

information up to date.’’ 

Whatever thesuccess of theonline 

platform,the intentionisto return to a 

facetoface event whenthere is more 

certainty.

Rates rise under 5% 

By DAVID HILL 

The Kaikoura District Council 

is confident it can keep this 

year’s average rates rise 

under five percent. 

Mayor Craig Mackle says the 

council is ‘‘powering ahead’’ 

with its annual plan, which 

has no changes from last 

year’s 2021/31 Long Term Plan 

(LTP), despite the uncertainty 

of Covid19. 

‘‘The team had done a 

fantastic job on the Long Term 

Plan and getting that out to the 

community and everyone 

agreed with it, so we’re just 

rolling that over. 

‘‘We are doing what we 

promised. We’re working on 

the roads and footpaths and 

that’s going great guns and 

next year we will really step 

that up.’’ 

As there are no changes 

from the LTP, the council is 

not required to consult with 

the community. 

Council staff expect to wrap 

up the annual plan at a 

workshop with councillors on 

June 14, before the final 

adoption on June 29. 

The average rates rise will 

be between 4.3% and 4.9%, 

corporate services senior 

manager Murray Dickson said 

at last week’s council meeting. 

‘‘There’s still abit of work to 

do. We have been able to offset 

that by keeping our budgets 

tight and looking at our 

council reserves.’’ 

But he did warn that some 

urban residents could be in 

for asurprise following the 

release of Quotable New 

Craig Mackle 

Zealand’s latest Kaikoura 

property valuations. 

The new valuations see 

residential property values 

increasing by more than 39% 

on average. 

It means some residential 

property owners could be in 

line for ahigher rates bill, 

while some rural property 

owners could see adrop in 

their rates demand. 

‘‘If you look at it percentage 

wise it might be ashock, but 

the actual dollar value 

probably won’t make much 

difference,’’ Mr Mackle says. 

‘‘Any increase is going to 

make adifference, but if it 

doesn’t go up we will end up 

going backwards and it’s abig 

hole to crawl out of.’’ 

Red Cross Op shop in demand 


Rangiora’s Red Cross Shop is 

calling for donations of goods due 

to the high cost of living 

increasing demand. 

Lead coordinator Rhonda 

Bloxham says the low wage 

economy, coupled with the high 

cost of groceries and fuel has seen 

an increase in opportunity shop 

customers. 

‘‘It is just really tough out there 

for people. Things are really tight. 

People are really struggling,’’ she 

says. 

However, some people also 

enjoy shopping at opportunity 

shops for the chance to find retro 

clothing and other items 

unavailable elsewhere. 

‘‘We get some lovely clothes 

donated,’’ Rhonda says. 

Everything is priced to sell with 

one or two items, such as dining 

plates, socks and scarves selling 

for only 50c. 

‘‘We cater for everyone,’’ she 

says. 

The shop sells clothes, shoes, 

gloves, handbags, scarves, 

jewellery, magazines, books, 

curtains, children’s toys and 

household goods. 

All donations are welcome but 

bric abrac items such as small 

vases, porcelain figurines and 

decorated teacups are in 

particular demand, as are warm 

woollen (especially merino) 

jumpers, blankets and coats. 

Rhonda also asks that people 

ensure the items they are 

donating are clean otherwise they 

can’t be sold. 

‘‘We don’t have the facilities 

here to wash clothing,’’ she says.

Although most people do ensure 

the items they are donating are 

clean, some go the extra mile by 

ironing and neatly folding the 

clothes they donate. ‘‘We really 

appreciate that,’’ Rhonda says. 

The current trend for recycling 

and reusing items to help 

minimise waste is also driving an 

increase in opportunity shop 

customers, Rhonda believes. 

She has noticed people coming 

into the store buying extra plates, 

AREHERE! 

and other crockery, for large 

family dinners rather than buying 

paper plates they have to put in 

the rubbish after they have been 

used. 

They can then keep them or 

donate them back to the store. The 

Rangiora Red Cross Shop is at 94 

Victoria Street and is open 

Monday to Friday from 10am to 

4.15pm and Saturdays 10am to 

2pm. Phone (03) 3107421 for more

Young Farmers look to the future 

New Zealand Young Farmers 

(NZYF) is launching anew 

funding model. 

The NZYF Community has been 

set up to help the organisation 

become more financially 

sustainable to support its 

networks of more than 60 clubs. 

Board chairperson Kent Weir 

says the new funding model will 

transform the way the 

organisation works and create 

more avenues to better support 

young people in the sector. 

As anonprofit organisation, it 

previously relied on project and 

outcomebased funding to support 

its 3500 memberships across all of 

its networks. 

‘‘New Zealand Young Farmers 

has aproud history since its 

establishment in 1927 and we 

want to make sure that we can 

continue to provide help to Young 

Farmers and rural communities,’’ 

he says. 

‘‘The NZYF Community will 

enable us to continue our work 

and create lasting opportunities 

and avenues for support and 

success. 

‘‘It has enabled us to set astrong 

pathway for future growth.’’ 

The initiative is being launched 

with support from the Ministry for 

Primary Industries’ Sustainable 

Food and Fibres Future (SFFF) 

fund and Tavendale and Partners, 

Trev and Manawatu Knitting 

Mills. 

Mr Weir says the ability to 

explore and implement the new 

community partnership would not 

have been possible without 

government support, with the 

Funding model ... New Zealand Young Farmers hopes anew funding 

model will help it become financially sustainable.

SFFF fund contributing $1.76 

million over three years to help 

NZYF grow and attract young 

people into the food and fibre 

sector. 

‘‘New Zealand Young Farmers 

has been instrumental in adding 

to the vibrancy of our rural 

communities for nearly 100 

years,’’ MPI director of 

investment programmes, Steve 

Penno, says. 

‘‘This new funding model will 

help ensure their important work 

continues for many years to 

come.’’ 

NZYF chief executive Lynda 

Coppersmith says the 

organisation plays an important 

role in attracting, nurturing and 

retaining young people in the 

primary sector. 

‘‘We know that we are a 

valuable part of the sector and 

provide value to the primary 

industries by supporting young 

people to be successful. 

‘‘Farm Strong research has also 

proved that New Zealand Young 

Farmers has been invaluable to 

many people's mental health and 

career journeys throughout their 

life.’’ 

The organisation is 

approaching its 100year 

anniversary. 

It will be hitting the road at the 

end of June to officially launch 

the NZYF Community through a 

series of events in Christchurch,

Red meat markets 

prove to be volatile 

Red meatexports achieve 

record April but markets 

prove volatile 

NewZealand red meat 

exports hit arecord in April, 

however ongoing volatility 

in Chinaindicates head 

winds in the coming months, 

saysthe Meat Industry 

Association (MIA). 

NewZealand exported 

products worth$999.6 

million duringthe month of 

April, up 16 percent on April 

2021with the value of 

overall exportsincreasing to 

mostmajor markets. 

Sirma Karapeeva, chief 

executive of MIA, saidthat 

while red meat exports 

continued to achieve good 

returns, therewas some 

fluctuationindemand, 

particularly in China and 

the United States. 

Thevalue of overall 

exports to Chinawas down 

6% year on year. There was 

alsoasmall drop in the 

volume of both sheepmeat 

and beef exported. The 

reduction in sheepmeat was 

largely due to China, with 

beefexports to the United 

States also dipping. 

While stillbelow pre 

Covid19 levels, volumes of 

overall sheepmeat exports 

to the EU and UK were up 

compared to the last two 

years. Shippingchallenges 

continuetoimpact UK 

chilledexports. 

Despite the drop in 

volumes, with sheepmeat 

downbysix percent andbeef 

by four percent,the overall

Region’sAgrecovery programme returns 

Canterbury farmers and growers are 

being urged to make use of asubsidised 

programme to return their unwanted or 

expired agrichemicals. 

Throughout June, Agrecoverywill be 

running several chemicalrecovery 

events in theCanterbury region. 

With free or subsidised recovery and 

disposal of more than 3000 products, the 

programme provides the perfect 

opportunity to safely disposeof 

potentially dangerous chemicals. 

‘‘The agrichemical recovery 

programme is acrucial part of the work 

Agrecovery does to ensure the safety of 

the environment and the future of the 

agriculture and horticulture industries,’’ 

Agrecovery chief executive Tony Wilson 

says. 

‘‘These are chemicals that could pose a 

safety risk by being left in sheds. 

Recovering old legacy or unwanted 

chemicalsensures they don’t end up in 

landfillsorinour waterways. 

‘‘We want to see farmers and growers 

book safe disposal to alleviate any 

potential safety risk.’’ 

These collection events follow on from 

extremely successful events held in 

Canterbury in 2020 where nearly 6000kg 

of agrichemicals were recovered and 

safely disposed of. 

Environment Canterbury(ECan) is 

again partnering with Agrecovery to 

support the programme, alongside 

Big pay day 

Fonterra is predicting another high milk 

price for the coming season. 

The cooperative announcedits 2022/23 

opening forecast farmgate milk price at 

$8.25 to $9.75 per kilogramofmilk solids, 

with amidpointof$9/kgMS. 

This followsits milk price for the present, 

2021/22 season,of$9.10 to $9.50/kgMS,with 

amidpointof$9.30/kgMS arecord high 

forecast. 

ChiefexecutiveMiles Hurrellsays the 

strongopening 2022/23forecast reflects 

continued demand for dairy coupledwith 

constrained global supply. 

‘‘The longterm outlook for dairy remains 

positive, despite recentgeopolitical and 

Covid19 related events impacting global 

demandinthe shortterm. 

‘‘On thesupply side, growth from key 

milk producing regionsisexpected to 

remain constrainedashigh feed, fertiliser 

and energycosts continuetoimpact 

production volumes. 

‘‘These demand andsupply dynamics are 

expected to support dairy pricesinthe 

medium to longterm.’’ 

Mr Hurrell says Fonterra is doing its best 

to manage the risks. 

The predicted midpoint of $9.30/kgMS for 

the presentseasonisthe highest forecast 

milk price in the cooperative’s history and 

wouldcontribute close to $14 billion into 

the New Zealandeconomy, he says.

‘‘It’s fantastic to be able to work in 

partnership to provide asafe and 

sustainable solution to resource recovery 

and enable better environmental 

outcomes for our rural communities,’’ Mr 

Wilson. 

ECan director of science, Dr Tim 

Davie, says waste disposal can be 

particularly challengingfor rural 

communities who want to do the right 

thing, but perhaps don’t have the levelof 

services that those in urban areas enjoy. 

‘‘Our partnership with Agrecoveryhas 

beenbuilt on that philosophy –that we 

understand those challenges. These 

recovery events are aperfect example of 

someofthe solutions being provided.”

Mayor hails jobs taskforce 

By DAVIDHILL 

The Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs has been 

an ‘‘incredible’’ success for Kaikoura, 

says Mayor Craig Mackle. 

The programme is on the verge of 

achieving its target of 50 job placements 

for the year to the end of June for the 

second year running. 

Now Te Ha oMatauranga, the trust 

which runs the programme, is awaiting 

news of funding for the next financial 

year. 

But Mr Mackle fears funding could be 

reduced or come to an end due to the low 

unemployment rate. 

‘‘I’m thrilled with the Mayor’s 

Taskforce for Jobs. Ipersonally think it’s 

one of the better outcomes of funding 

that I’ve seen,’’ Mr Mackle said at last 

week’s council meeting. 

‘‘I can’t get over why they would be 

thinking about cutting it back or ending it 

when it’s achieving the results. 

‘‘It’s so great to see the youth excited 

about what they’re doing and the support 

for employers is awesome.’’ 

While the unemployment rate might be 

low, it remains adaunting prospect for 

young people with little or no experience 

to apply for jobs, Mr Mackle says. 

The programme includes ayouth 

employability course to prepare young 

people for the workforce and includes 

coaching on how to present yourself at a 

job interview.

‘‘When you spend your life looking at a 

screen you can lose that art of looking 

someone in the eye,’’ he says. 

While the funding is aimed at young 

people, employment coordinator Sean 

Madden did not turn anyone away. 

‘‘Sean doesn’t just do it because they 

get funded. He will point someone in the 

right direction even if it doesn’t count in 

the statistics,’’ Mr Mackle says. 

Speaking at last week’s council

do that: 

• Avoid open-facehelmets: 34.6% Of head impacts in crashes aretothe chin area, so

• Makesureyourhelmet fits: Forastart, youmust not be able to remove it without

Glenmark-Cheviot in play-offs 

RUGBY 

By PETER WILLIAMS 

As GlenmarkCheviot and Prebbletonran 

on to asundrenched Omihi Domain for the 

finalroundrobin match of this season’s 

LuisettiSeedsCup, the belief wasthat 

whichever team won thematch would 

progressthrough to thisSaturday’s 

quarterfinals,and the loser would be 

consigned to lower section playoffs. 

So it was adisheartenedGlenmark 

Cheviot side that trudged off after having 

been beaten2736byanaccomplished 

Prebbletonoutfit. 

Frantic checkingofcellphones for 

results of other matches suggestedthe prematchprognosishad 

been accurate. 

But some time later that news filtered 

through that Southbridge had scored very 

deep intoinjury time to deny Lincoln a 

win that would havecatapulted it into a 

qualifyingposition. 

Not only that, but victories by two other 

NorthCanterbury teams,Kaiapoi over 

Waihora and Ashley over Methven, 

deprived their opponents of aplace on the 

tableahead of GlenmarkCheviot. 

So thestars had aligned to enable 

GlenmarkCheviot to take the last 

wildcardspot on points differential from 

Ohoka, and earn atrip to Southbridge on 

Saturday to playthe top qualifier. 

Saracens, who had abye,finished in 

second positionand will be at home to 

Springston. 

The playoffs present amouthwatering 

prospectwith no team an obvious 

standout. 

Last season’s finalists, Southernand 

Southbridge appeal on the basis of both 

having arecenthistory of success in playoff 

matches. 

Hopeswill be high in the Saracens 

camp,too, as they are drawn to avoid 

having to playeither of these two teams in 

the quarters or semis. 

The final points table was as follows: 

Southbridge 26, (1st in Pool A), 1; Saracens 

25, (1st in Pool C), 2; Celtic 22 (1st in Pool 

B), 3; Southern 25 (2ndinPoolC), 4;

GlenmarkCheviot v 

Prebbleton 

The home team had the best of the early 

exchanges and was rewarded when 

centre, Matt Jensen sliced throughfor an 

excellent try in the 12thminute. 

Mid way through the half Glenmark 

Cheviot secured qualityball froman 

attacking lineout following an excellent 

50/22kick. 

Slickpassingalong the chain gave Caleb 

Beck enoughroomtouse his pacetoscore 

in the corner. Prebbleton responded with 

agood try,showing some of its forward 

strength, but justbeforethe break the 

everpresent flanker, JacobVincent was 

on handtoscore atry that gaveGlenmark 

Cheviot averyuseful buffer of 1910. But it 

was nowhere near enough. Mistakes crept 

into the locals’ game,the most costlybeing 

the failureonmany occasionstofind 

touch, while it alsomissed too many 

secondhalftackles. 

The Prebbleton forwards gained the 

upperhand and it scoredthreesecond 

half tries, although the realkillerblow was

Glenmark Cheviot hadmanaged just a 

sole penalty in response untilright at the

Ashley vMethven 

Ashleyturnedonone of its best 

performances of the season, and ended the 

playoff hopes of the favoured Methven 

side. Anthony Tavendale set the tone for 

the match whenhemade amidfield break 

to set up fullback Nathan Emery for atry 

in the 7th minute.Another backtohave a 

fine gamefor Ashley was first five Jack 

Marshall who was next to score when he 

intercepted aloose pass from Methven. 

While Methvenstruckback withacouple 

of tries of its own, Ashley responded and 

led 2412 at halftime. 

It was asimilarpatterninthe second 

half withMethven scoring two further tries 

to Ashley’s three. Up front Matt 

Kippenberger was alwaystothe fore. 

Jimmy Thielehad afine match in his 100th 

appearance for Ashley, who also 

welcomed backontothe field cocoach 

Brad McKenzie who made an appearance 

off the benchearlyinthe match when Matt 

Couch sustained an injury. 

Ashley44(Korbyn Gray, Matt 

Kippenberger, Leon Hingston,Anthony 

Tavendale, tries, Jack Marshall 1try, 4 

conversions, 1penalty, Nathan Emery 1 

try, 1penalty) beatMethven 26. 

KaiapoivWaihora 

The first half of this match was all about 

defence. Asole unconvertedtry by 

Waihora was the only action for the 

scoreboard attendant. But the match 

certainly came to life in the second half. 

Kaiapoi winger David Cookscored soon 

after the resumption. BothKaiapoi props, 

NathanCassidyRichards and Zach 

Andrews had impressivegames, both 

scoring tries. The highlight beingthe 

latter’s spectacular 70 metreintercept try. 

Kaiapoi held Waihora scorelessinthe 

secondhalf, while scoring three tries 

itself. 

Kaiapoi 17 (DavidCook, Nathan Cassidy 

–Richards, ZachAndrews tries, Taine 

JacobsLawson 1conversion)beat 

Waihora 5 (Cameron Tippet, try). 

OhokavWest Melton 

Ohoka registered its fourth win on thetrot, 

comfortably accounting for West Melton. 

No 8Tom Taylor and enterprising full 

back Tom Wedlake were rewardedfor 

strongperformances with firsthalf tries. 

Both were converted by Scott Allin,who 

added two penalties to give Ohoka a 

healthy 207 lead at halftime. 

SPORT 

North Canterbury News, June 2, 2022 

37 

Allin’s radar was accurate all day and he 

is fastestablishing areputation as being 

probably the mostaccurate goalkickerin 

any of the North Canterbury teams, 

challenged probably only by his brother, 

Ricky, for Saracens. Allin hasbeen amajor 

partofOhoka’s renaissance, as have the 

McCallum brothers, Ryan and Paddy,Tom 

Taylor,who scored againinthe second 

half, Ben Gold and Sam England.All again 

had excellent games. Anothertoimpress 

was winger, Will Clifford. 

Ohoka 46 (Tom Taylor(2), Tom Wedlake, 

Sam England, Marcus Hendricks, tries 

Scott Allin 5conversions and 2penalties) 

beat WestMelton 19. 

Hurunui vRolleston 

Hurunui proved far too strong for the 

cellar dwellers. They began at full throttle 

withfullback Digby Heard runningintwo 

tries in the first4minutes. 

Hurunui wereparticularly strong at set 

piece with Hamish Dalzell on debut 

stealing numerous opposition lineouts and 

leading the dominantHurunui defence. 

Young firstfive, KyleMcKenzie alsohad 

astrong game,steeringhis teamaround 

the field,whileprop Ben Johnson was 

tireless in his work and amajor 

contributortohis team securing so much 

qualityball. It was to Hurunui’s credit that 

theymaintained the pressurethroughout 

the match,leading 283 at half time and 

doubling that in the second half. 

Hurunui57(Digby Heard(2), Andrew 

Murdoch, NordyAnderson, Hamish 

Dalzell (2), Cale Dobby(2), Luke Hume 

tries, Kyle McKenzie 6conversions) beat 

Rolleston. 

Oxford vDarfield 

The Oxford teamsaved probably its best 

performance of the year for its Club Day. 

In front of abig crowd, it scored threefirst 

halftries.Its defence, however, was patchy 

anditwas outshone by the visitors who led 

3819 at the break. But it was adifferent 

story in the second half when Darfield 

could only add onetry, whileOxford 

poured on 24 more points and when the 

final whistle blew, the scoreswere tied at 

4343. 

It is perhaps unfair to identify 

individuals in the Oxford teamasitwas a 

true team effort but Liam Stevensonwas to 

theforefront of the forwards’ effort. Matt 

Roberts ignited alot of Oxford’s backline 

movements. 

He scored two trieshimself andalso had 

agreat day with the boot for apersonal 

tally of 23 points. Jesse Houston, Vili 

Ogatia and Mark Farrell were others in 

the backline to perform with distinction. 

Oxford 43 (Mark Farrell, JesseHouston, 

Korbyn Newman, Vili Ogatia, tries, Matt 

Roberts 2tries,5conversions,1penalty) 

drew with Darfield 43. 

Saracens beat Woodend by default.

LookingTO BUYRURAL 

LIFESTYLE PROPERTY? 

Winter 2022 

Rural |Lifestyle 

Your CountryPartner 

During the winter months, we typically see 

a slight slowdown in real estate markets, 

and with the recent increase ininterest rates 

and tightening of lending policies having an 

influence, we expect this to be the case in our 

local market over the coming months. 

Afteranumberofbuoyant yearswhen buyers 

often faced stiff competition for good rural 

lifestyle properties we arerecently seeing levels 

of enquiry and listings more typical of past 

years. There’s still very strong interest in the 

Canterbury rural market, especially for sound 

properties that are presented well with good 

access to the city. 

Begin planning and researching now so you’re 

prepared when the perfect rural property 

comes along! 

Greg Roberts 

Licensed Business Owner 

Four Seasons Realty 2017 Ltd|LicensedAgent REAA 2008 

WINTERTO-DO LIST: 

1.Findanexperiencedreal estate agent 

Having an expert, local real estate agent on 

your side is invaluable. 

Working with someone who is knowledgeable 

about rural lifestyle property listings, as well 

as the local area can make abig difference. 

Partnering with areal estateagent up front will 

allow you to be the first to knowwhen arural 

property is coming up forsale and if it will fit 

what you arelooking for. 

2. Choose an experienced lender and get 

preapproved 

One of the best things you can dowhen 

planning to buy ahome is to get preapproved. 

If buyingahomeinthe countryisyour dream, 

makesureyou’re partnering withalenderwho 

understands the intricacies ofrural property 

lending and is able to offer you along-term 

fixed rate. Having apreapproval letter when 

it comes time to offer on your dream home 

could be the difference between acceptance 

and rejection. Also, getting preapproved up 

front gives you arealistic idea ofwhat you 

canafford.It’sveryimportant to have agood 

understanding of your finances when making 

alarge purchaselikeahome. 

3. Prioritise needs vs wants 

Oncepreapproved, you’ll have agood ideaof 

what you canafford.Now it’stime to translate 

that into what is important to you in your 

dream home. How many bedrooms do you 

need? How many acres do you want to grow 

rurallifestyle? Do you requireany outbuildings 

such as abarn?Evaluating yourneeds, wants, 

and goals is an important discussion to have 

up front so you are prepared when rural 

properties arelisted. 

4. Start exploring locations 

It’s time to evaluate what location/area you 

arelooking to buy in. Rural listings tend to be 

sparser than those in town so having your area 

narrowed down will help. Further, getting to 

know the zoning restrictions for the area you 

are looking in will beimportant, especially if 

you plan to grow and develop your property 

onceyou’ve purchased it. 

Now just because the real estate market 

slows down in June, August, doesn’t mean 

you shouldn’t still be keeping an eye onthe 

market. Yes, there will likely be fewer listings, 

but theremightalso be less competition from 

other buyers. Further, sellers might bemore 

motivated to sell. 

As things warm up and the smell of spring is in 

the air, you’ll start seeing an influx in listings. 

This is when all of your preparationwork over 

the winter pays off. 

Timing is everything and being prepared 

with your real estate agent and preapproval 

will give you an edge on the competition. 

When you find your dreamproperty,you’llbe 

ready to makethe offer and work through the 

purchase process with confidence. 

At Harcourts Four Seasons we have atalented 

andsuccessfulteamofrurallifestylespecialists 

that are constantly upskilling, we know the 

differences between the rural lifestyle and 

residential markets, whetherbuyingorselling 

our team arehappy to guide you on thepath 

to achieving your real estate dreams. 

“Given the improvements to the roading 

network into and out of Christchurch, we’re 

confident in the continued popularityofrural 

lifestyle properties.” 

“Our rural lifestyle agents have all owned,lived 

or worked on lifestyle properties or farms, and 

they’re all active in their local communities,” 

Greg Roberts Co-owner explains. “It’s what 

we’reall about.”

Community gets in behind Cheviot river restoration 

The community is getting in behind 

efforts to restore the Jed River, near 

Cheviot. 

Environment Canterbury’s (ECan) 

Hurunui Waiau Uwha Zone delivery 

team has been working with the Jed 

River Catchment Group to support the 

restoration and enhancement of the Jed 

River. 

The council’s zone priority fund is 

supporting the group with $35,000 

towards chemical free willow control, 

planting and maintenance on a200metre 

stretch of the river in the Hutchison 

Reserve area at Woolshed Creek, a 

tributary of the river. 

The funding will be split over two 

years. 

The Department of Conservation is 

also supporting the project. 

The Jed River flows under State 

Highway 1onthe south side of Cheviot 

township, through the Cheviot Hills 

Reserve and out towards Gore Bay. 

The catchment is home to arange of 

different landscapes and species such as 

lamprey, freshwater mussels, native 

birds, dryland ecosystems, wetlands, hill 

country and the coastline. 

ECan land management advisor Sam 

Thompson says the project will 

contribute to the overall health of the 

stream and enable the natural character 

of the river to regenerate. 

‘‘Removal of exotic willows and the 

replacement of native species will 

support indigenous species of birds, fish 

and insects to thrive in the area,’’ he says. 

‘‘With the project being led by the 

community, they’ll be able to connect 

with this wonderful awa/river and see it 

transform back to its natural state.’’ 

The water quality of the Jed River has 

raised community concern in the past, 

due to its poor visual appearance and 

historical public health warnings in 

relation to wastewater discharges. 

In August 2019, the Cheviot community 

launched the beginnings of aplan to 

restore the Jed River and its tributaries, 

forming the Jed River Catchment Group. 

Mr Thompson says targeting willows 

was chosen as apriority by the group, as 

the trees form dense stands, overtaking 

other vegetation and have the potential 

to change the route of the main channel 

of the river. 

‘‘This can cause flooding and erosion 

issues, especially where the banks of 

waterways are already vulnerable. 

‘‘The willow leaves also drop into the 

river and can reduce water quality and 

oxygen levels, which is essential for the 

life within these streams. 

‘‘Willows have aplace on the land and 

for water management, but the banks of 

the Jed River aren’t it.’’ 

Mechanical weed control was 

completed earlier this year and a 

community planting day will follow. 

Totara, matai, titoki, ribbonwood / 

manatu and lacebark /houhere are just 

some of the native species being planted 

in the reserve.

Mr Thompson says it has been great 

working with such amotivated 

community and he is looking forward to 

seeing further advancements on 

catchmentwide regeneration for the Jed 

River. 

‘‘The catchment group have put a 

significant amount of time into the 

project, so it’s great to be able to support 

them to further their vision for the Jed 

River and its tributaries,’’ he says. 

The Hurunui and Waiau River 

Regional Plan promotes the sustainable 

management of rivers and streams and 

groundwater in the Hurunui, Waiau and 

Jed River catchments.

Don Young, Council’s Senior Engineering Advisor 

says, “Asour population grows, and more people 

choose to walk and cycle, we need to ensure our 

walking and cycling networks are accessible and 

safe, and connect people to where they need to go.”

businessesand CommunityBoards. 

“Now wewant to hear what the community think of 

the proposed routes in the plan, the build priorities 

and the Council’s level of investment in walking 

and cycling infrastructure”, says Don. 

Aer collecting feedback, staff will report to the 

Community Boards and the Council, who will 

decide the next steps in this process later this year.

the District where you can talk to staff about the 

proposed plan. Youcan pop online to find more
