GENEROUS: Dean Graham often pays for people’s restaurant bills and groceries including a mother at the New<br />

A RETIRED businessman<br />
who says he never wants to<br />
grow up has come forward<br />
as being the mystery<br />
supermarket angel who<br />
recently helped out a family.<br />
Dean Graham, 56, son of<br />
late Mainfreight rich-lister<br />
Neil Graham, said buying<br />
people’s groceries or paying<br />
for their restaurant bills was<br />
something he did on a weekly<br />
basis around New Zealand.<br />
“It’s just giving people<br />
something to put a smile on<br />
their face really. These days<br />
it’s a lot of doom and gloom,<br />
and things are tough for a lot<br />
of people,” he said.<br />

Lincoln<br />
South<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
OPPONENTS to Lincoln South<br />
say they have legal experts<br />
within their ranks to fight the<br />
development.<br />
It could cost tens of thousands<br />
of dollars to take an appeal to stop<br />
the 1710-home subdivision going<br />
ahead.<br />
The district council last week<br />
approved a controversial Carter<br />
Group plan change application,<br />
Plan Change 69, which has paved<br />
the way for the development.<br />
Lincoln resident Denise Cole<br />
and about 40 fellow residents are<br />
gathering under the banner of a<br />
new incorporated society they<br />
have called Lincoln Voice.<br />
Cole said they had legal and<br />
other experts within their ranks,<br />
who could help keep costs down<br />
for any appeal they may pursue.<br />
“We do have quite a few people<br />
to tap into, and that’s where we<br />
are at at the moment, looking into<br />
how we can do that,” Cole said.<br />

AFTER multiple ram-raids<br />
and break-ins at the Prebbleton<br />
Dairy, local kids came together<br />
to show their love.<br />
Prebbleton School pupils<br />
raised more than a thousand<br />
dollars last week for the dairy,<br />
following two ram-raids in<br />
May and a break-in in late<br />
April.<br />
The school’s executive officer,<br />
Tegan Thornley, said the kids felt<br />
very sorry for dairy owner Sam<br />
Mesta. Many of them walk past<br />
the shop daily on their way to<br />
and from school.<br />
It led to pupils suggesting they<br />
could hold a mufti day to raise<br />
money for the dairy. With more<br />
than 500 pupils showing up in<br />
mufti, each donating a gold coin<br />
or more, about $1100 was raised<br />
and donated.<br />
Thornley said while the school<br />
often does mufti days to support<br />
charities, this was the first time<br />
the pupils raised money to help<br />
out locally.<br />
“The owner was so appreciative.<br />
He was quite overwhelmed<br />
when they told him what we<br />
were doing,” she said.<br />
Dairy owner Sam Mesta said<br />
he couldn’t be more thankful.<br />
“I really appreciate each and<br />
every kid, management, teachers,<br />
and everyone . . . I’m especially<br />
glad that I have that kind of<br />
community to stand with me in<br />

With his house attached to<br />

and his family.<br />
“I can see what’s going on,<br />
I can hear the noise . . . It’s<br />
definitely been a hard time.”<br />
In spite of that, it was the<br />

Dean Graham: ‘I don’t want to grow up’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Graham’s charitable acts have<br />
hit headlines in the past, alongside<br />
a brush with the law.<br />
Last year he won another<br />
Trade Me charity auction, paying<br />
$10,420 for a cardboard Lamborghini,<br />
only to sell it<br />
about five months later,<br />
donating the proceeds<br />
to I Am Hope. Then<br />
in November he won<br />
a Trade Me auction<br />
for a Martin Jetpack<br />
prototype, paying<br />
$<strong>15</strong>8,200 for the singleperson<br />
aircraft, which<br />
he intends in future to<br />
donate to Canterbury<br />
Museum.<br />
In 2018, Graham was sentenced<br />
to 80 hours community work after<br />
admitting to charges of allowing<br />
his premises to be used for growing<br />
cannabis, a licensing breach<br />
under the Arms Act over firearms<br />
found at the property and possession<br />
of a cannabis pipe.<br />
The father-of-five last month<br />
left more than $200 cash with<br />
a Lincoln New World checkout<br />
operator to pay for the groceries<br />
of the family who was behind<br />
him in the checkout queue.<br />
Mother Jen Stewart told Star<br />
Media she and her young family<br />
had just been through a difficult<br />
time as they recovered from<br />
Covid.<br />
Jen Stewart<br />
“I was just speechless. This<br />
person didn’t know how grateful<br />
I was, on that very week, that<br />
he would pay for my shopping,”<br />
Stewart said.<br />
She used more than $100 to pay<br />
for her groceries, and gave the<br />
remainder, which was<br />
a similar amount, to a<br />
grateful single-mother<br />
friend for her groceries.<br />
Graham said he first<br />
started random acts of<br />
kindness in supermarkets<br />
and restaurants<br />
about two years ago. He<br />
was buying a sandwich<br />
at The Hub in Hornby<br />
when he saw an elderly<br />
couple behind him scraping up<br />
change for their lunch.<br />
When he went back about two<br />
months later, one of the staff<br />
members told him the couple<br />
had started doing the same for<br />
others.<br />
“I though to myself: ‘If I can do<br />
that and change the way people<br />
think, I think it’s a good thing.’ I<br />
care, and I can help, I do want to<br />
change people’s lives. I just think<br />
life is so short, I just want to put<br />
it out there to believe we all care<br />
for other human beings.”<br />
Among his most generous gifts<br />
had been when he gave a friend a<br />
$100,000 Ford F-<strong>15</strong>0 Raptor truck<br />
for his birthday.<br />
“I said: ‘Happy Birthday’ and I<br />
COLLECTOR: Some of Graham’s recent purchases include a Martin Jetpack prototype and<br />
a cardboard Lamborghini.<br />
threw him the keys, he just burst<br />
into tears.”<br />
He had also given away eight of<br />
his motorbikes to friends.<br />
“There’s no point dying with<br />
it.”<br />
He was not concerned some<br />
may take advantage of his generosity.<br />
“Friends don’t hang around me<br />
for that, because they know me<br />
from before when I had nothing,”<br />
Graham said.<br />
Graham said he started at<br />
the bottom of the ladder at<br />
Mainfreight, the trucking giant<br />
company which his father<br />
co-founded. He was a storeman<br />
and rented with flatmates; when<br />
money was tight they would nick<br />
each other’s drinks out of the<br />
fridge.<br />
He had been married twice,<br />
been a solo father for eight years,<br />
and today lives with his partner<br />
on their Lincoln lifestyle block,<br />
where he is building a man cave.<br />
He said he had never made it a<br />
secret that he smoked cannabis,<br />
but hardly did it these days as he<br />
was getting “too old.”<br />
He did his community work at<br />
Rolleston Salvation Army, where<br />
he had been humbled by the good<br />
work of the charity. He had gone<br />
back there on a yearly basis since,<br />
donating clothes.<br />
He got the opportunity to be<br />
a supermarket and restaurant<br />
mystery angel around New<br />
Zealand as he bought motorbikes<br />
and cars, and when to motorbike<br />
and car shows around the<br />
country.<br />
He loved to ride and collect<br />
motorcycles in particular, and his<br />
range included two from the Easy<br />
Rider movie. In addition, actor<br />
Keanu Reeves was to personally<br />
deliver one of a limited range<br />
of motorcycles the actor was<br />
building later this year. When<br />
his man cave was completed, he<br />
would be bolting 25 motorcycles<br />
to the wall.<br />
“I don’t want to grow up,<br />
growing up is boring,” he said.<br />

Storms and sea surges damaging farms<br />
FRUSTRATED farmers in<br />
the district want answers after<br />
storms and high tide surges<br />
continue to cause havoc on their<br />
properties.<br />
Property owners along the<br />
coast have copped extensive<br />
damage from saltwater and<br />
sand from the adjoining Taumutu<br />
Beach breaching nearby<br />
seabanks and spilling through<br />
paddocks.<br />
There has been confusion<br />
among affected locals around<br />
who was ultimately responsible<br />
for the clean up.<br />
Sand and debris remain scattered<br />
through Tim Sanson’s<br />
60-acre (24ha) block, with three<br />
quarters of his property now<br />
unusable.<br />
“We’ve only really got one<br />
surviving paddock out of seven,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I know it’s not a big farm, but<br />
it’s ours and we’ve got a guy that<br />
leases it and he’s got 45 acres of<br />
it that is unusable for between a<br />
year to a year and a half.”<br />
The knock-on effects have been<br />
felt along the coastline with the<br />
extreme weather causing further<br />
drainage issues.<br />
A nearby creek was overrun<br />
with sand during a storm last<br />
month, causing flooding on<br />
farmland which historically has<br />
been untouched, Sanson said.<br />
“That’s really difficult on those<br />
guys because we’ve got some<br />
high producing farms around<br />
here.<br />
“Nothing grows after the saltwater<br />
has been on there.<br />
“(The land) is that wet that<br />
they can’t get on there to do any<br />
work so it’s had a significant affect<br />
on a lot of people.”<br />
Fellow farmer Kent Tilson has<br />
also had sections of farmland<br />
inundated.<br />
A long-standing resident in the<br />
Southbridge area, Tilson said the<br />
RUINED: Three quarters of Tim Sanson’s land is now<br />
unusable. He says nothing grows on a farm damaged by<br />
salt water.<br />

problems are the worst he had<br />
ever seen.<br />
“I know certainly I had about<br />
<strong>15</strong> to 20 acres of young grass<br />
that I was depending on for the<br />
spring that I won’t have anything<br />
of.”<br />
Sanson described the wider<br />
response from community leaders<br />
as limp – with uncertainty<br />
around who was responsible for<br />
the clean up.<br />
Initial inquiries with Environment<br />
Canterbury suggested multiple<br />
permits would be required<br />
for clearing sand and gravel off<br />
his property, he said.<br />
ECan said it was working with<br />
district authorities to get a better<br />
understanding on issues caused<br />
by coastal erosion.<br />
Operations director Katherine<br />
Harbrow said a consent may be<br />
required by owners who had<br />
damage before undertaking<br />
repair or protection work.<br />
“Coastal erosion is an issue<br />
that will only be exacerbated by<br />
climate change,” she said.<br />
“As such, we are aware that<br />
coastal retreat coupled with sealevel<br />
rise will increase the likelihood<br />
of damage to some coastal<br />
properties.<br />
“This makes working with<br />
district authorities and other<br />
stakeholders important for understanding<br />
and clarifying what<br />
landowners can do to protect<br />
their properties, such as through<br />
stopbanks or moving debris.”<br />

“I’m proud<br />

Stormwater Management<br />
through the<br />
Setback<br />
process, and<br />
it is open and<br />
transparent,<br />
and people can see what is<br />
going on. For us to decide that<br />
we would reject this against the<br />
advice that we have, to me I<br />
don’t see any basis for that. To<br />
have a council that can quickly<br />
just make those decisions isn’t<br />
the type of council that we are,<br />
and I don’t think as a council<br />
actually our community wants,<br />
they want a fair process. There’s<br />
always this challenge around<br />
what does the future hold, what<br />
is next month, what is next year,<br />
and in the end we only have the<br />
certainty of what is in law in<br />
front of us.”<br />

“We have<br />

We are now at a point, deciding<br />
whether to accept that process,<br />

is a number of legal questions<br />
there that are potentially raised<br />
about the impact upon the<br />
reputation of council, but also<br />
the financial risk to council in<br />
rejecting this proposal.”<br />
Lemon was referring to<br />
information in front of<br />
district councillors that not<br />
accepting the commissioner’s<br />
recommendation could expose<br />
the district council to legal<br />
challenge and significant legal<br />
costs, in defending any action<br />
that may arise from declining to<br />
make a decision.<br />

“There is<br />
no doubt a<br />
significant<br />
portion of<br />
the Springs<br />

is highly<br />
concerned about this proposal.<br />
It was weighing heavily on my<br />
mind should we delay this for<br />
the National Policy Statement<br />
for Highly Productive Land,<br />
should we give further time? I’m<br />
not enjoying this because it is a<br />
difficult decision, but the reality<br />
is we have employed a highly<br />
qualified commissioner who<br />
has significant history and has<br />
addressed every single issue that<br />
has been raised. It gives me no<br />
joy as a local councillor to say<br />
that I will be supporting the staff<br />
recommendation, because that is<br />
the right and proper thing to do.”<br />

objections should therefore<br />
follow the legitimate process as<br />
per the law, which is a 30-day<br />
right of appeal. We are in these<br />

politicking.”<br />

comment, he said:<br />
“I think there has to come a<br />
stage somewhere, sometime,<br />
that we have a look at how much<br />
arable land, and how wide our<br />
towns and cities spread. I sat<br />
there listening to people talking<br />
from Lincoln, and thought ‘I’m<br />
in your camp, but unfortunately<br />
I can’t jump into your camp,<br />
because I’ve been committed<br />
by the fact that the council<br />
have asked for a commissioner<br />
finding.’ The commissioner has<br />
given his finding, we really can’t<br />
go back on that. You are sort of<br />
gazumped and checkmated to be<br />
honest with you.”<br />

found this physically difficult,<br />
as talking triggered bouts of<br />
coughing. He said:<br />
“It’s the worst vote I have<br />
ever had to vote on since<br />
being on council, or the<br />
hardest, put it that way. We<br />
really had to vote the way we<br />
did. Hopefully new legislation<br />
coming out in the near future<br />
(National Policy Statement for<br />
Highly Productive Land) will<br />
alter that. I still disagree with<br />
the idea of using this soil, there<br />
should be more protection for<br />
it. We have done several of<br />
these plan changes before, and<br />
the same questions have come<br />
up each time about putting<br />
housing on good soil. But at<br />
the end of the legal opinion we<br />
had, I thought that was the only<br />
legal and honest way I could<br />
vote.”<br />
AGAINST<br />
Cr Sophie<br />
McInnes<br />
“PC69 has<br />
neatly slipped<br />
in before<br />
the National<br />
Policy<br />
Statement<br />
for Highly<br />
Productive Land was finalised.<br />
We have also been advised that<br />
declining the recommendation<br />
risks loss of trust in council,<br />
and poor reputation. Well hello,<br />
that has already happened. We<br />
have a community that feels<br />
unheard, even when they have<br />
subject matter experts who live<br />
and work among them. They are<br />
ignored. We even heard from<br />
them again today with a range<br />
of extremely valid concerns.<br />
These aren’t NIMBYs, they<br />
are poking valid holes in an<br />
application that itself is a timely<br />
and opportunistic exploitation of<br />
loop holes.”<br />

Gallagher<br />
Did not speak<br />
at the meeting.<br />
Approached<br />
for comment<br />
afterwards, she<br />
said:<br />
“The reason<br />
that I supported Cr McInnes to<br />
have the decision delayed was<br />
for the Government decision on<br />
the National Policy Statement<br />
for Highly Productive Land. The<br />
main reason that I objected to<br />
the plan change was that the site<br />
in Lincoln is made up of highly<br />
productive soils that we need to<br />
protect for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Land drainage<br />
is also an issue in this area. There<br />
is not enough infrastructure for a<br />
subdivision of this size.”<br />
NO VOTE<br />
Cr Malcolm Lyall, Cr Debra Hasson, Cr Nicole Reid,<br />
Cr Mark Alexander<br />
Lyall was absent from the meeting due to illness. However, even<br />
if he had been there, he would not have voted due to a conflict of<br />
interest. Lyall, Hasson, Reid and Alexander are district council hearing<br />
commissioners on the district council’s proposed district plan. They<br />
abstained from voting on the basis this creates a conflict of interest,<br />
because the PC69 applicant, the Carter Group company of Rolleston<br />
Industrial Developments Ltd, is also a submitter to the proposed<br />
district plan.<br />
Group yet to decide whether to appeal or not<br />
DISAPPOINTED: Lincoln area residents opposed to Plan Change 69 may fight the district<br />
council decision. Those attending the meeting last week are pictured above. Among<br />
those who spoke at the public forum were Professor Keith Cameron (third from left), next<br />
to (from left) Denise Cole, Sam Carrick (holding letter), and Sue Prendergast.<br />
• From page 1<br />
Once the district council’s<br />
decision to approve the plan<br />
change is publicly notified, those<br />
who submitted during public<br />
consultation have 30 working<br />
days to make an appeal to the<br />
Environment Court.<br />
Natural resources law expert<br />
Professor Barry Barton told the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> that in situations<br />
such as these, some groups were<br />
capable of preparing and arguing<br />
their own case, which brought legal<br />
costs down. Another expense<br />
they had to consider was that for<br />
expert evidence, in order to back<br />
up their arguments in front of<br />
the Environment Court.<br />
Cole said she expected the cost<br />
could be anything from a few<br />
thousand to tens of thousands of<br />
dollars. At this stage the group<br />
was investigating whether to appeal<br />
or not.<br />
Tim Carter of Carter Group<br />
declined to answer questions<br />
from the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> about a<br />
potential appeal, and what the<br />
time line his company had for<br />
developing the subdivision.<br />
In an emailed statement, Carter<br />
said the company was “delighted”<br />
PC69 had been approved.<br />
“We were pleased the commissioner<br />
acknowledged that there<br />
will be significant ecological benefits<br />
from the rezoning, including<br />
enhancing and protecting the<br />
existing waterways, compared<br />
to leaving the land in its present<br />
rural zoning,” Carter said.<br />
The company already had more<br />
than 300 registrations of interest<br />
in sections on its Lincoln South<br />
website.<br />
The development would include<br />
three commercial centres.<br />
“We acknowledge the community’s<br />
desire for a medical centre<br />
and a supermarket. We have<br />
already met with the Ministry<br />
of Education, as we understand<br />
the need for future schools in the<br />
area.”<br />
Meanwhile, about <strong>15</strong> Lincoln<br />
residents attended last week’s<br />
district council meeting, witnessing<br />
councillors debate and then<br />
decide to approve PC69.<br />
At one point the group broke<br />
into applause, after they heard Cr<br />
Sophie McInnes speak out on the<br />
reasons why she wanted to delay<br />
the district council’s decision.<br />
Cole and husband Sam<br />
Carrick, Lincoln grandmother<br />
Sue Prendergast, and emeritus<br />
professor of soil science at<br />
Lincoln University, Keith<br />
Cameron, had separately<br />
addressed councillors prior to the<br />
discussion, in the public forum<br />
section of the meeting.<br />
Among their chief concerns<br />
was loss of highly productive<br />
soils, particularly on the verge of<br />
Government planning to make<br />
its final decisions on the proposed<br />
National Policy Statement<br />
for Highly Productive Land next<br />
month.<br />
They believed if the PC69 decision<br />
could be delayed, then the<br />
district council would be able to<br />
take the new policy statement<br />
into consideration, and not solely<br />
be guided by the National Policy<br />
Statement for Urban Development,<br />
under which the PC69<br />
application had been allowed.<br />
Since the NPS-UD was<br />
introduced in 2020, the district<br />
council has received 16 private<br />
plan change requests for<br />
rezoning. If all approved, they<br />
would enable about 10,000<br />
further residential sites in eastern<br />
areas of the district.<br />

Rugby<br />
says no to<br />
funding<br />
stadium<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
RUGBY HAS reiterated it will not<br />
contribute financially to a new<br />
stadium for Christchurch.<br />
With the budget for the 30,000-<br />
seat Te Kaha Canterbury Multi-<br />
Use Arena blowing out $<strong>15</strong>0<br />
million to $683 million, the future<br />
of the project is in doubt.<br />
Asked if there was any scope for<br />
New Zealand Rugby, which recently<br />
signed a $200 million deal<br />
with US private equity firm Silver<br />
Lake, to contribute to the project,<br />
the answer was: No.<br />
“Any decisions around the size<br />
and design of a new multi-use stadium<br />
in Christchurch ultimately<br />
rests with the city and central<br />
government,” said New Zealand<br />
Rugby general manager professional<br />
rugby and performance,<br />
Chris Lendrum.<br />
The Canterbury Rugby Football<br />
Union, as far back as 2017, ruled<br />
out helping to pay for what then<br />
chairman Trevor McIntyre described<br />
as a “community facility”.<br />
Current CRFU chief executive<br />

had not changed.<br />

MOST ROLLESTON area<br />
residents want their local RSA to<br />
be located at Fosters Homestead<br />
in Foster Park, a poll suggests.<br />
The future of the building is<br />
at risk as the district council<br />
prepares to make a decision at its<br />
meeting next week.<br />
Rolleston RSA<br />
opened a poll on<br />
its Facebook page<br />
<strong>June</strong> 3, which had<br />
attracted 218 votes<br />
by Thursday last<br />
week.<br />
The vast majority,<br />
197 people,<br />
voted for Fosters<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Richard<br />
Hurt<br />
Homestead as their preference<br />
for the place the club should<br />
establish itself, as opposed to<br />
the town’s community centre,<br />
which received 16 votes, or<br />
Helpet Park, which received two<br />
votes, or other yet to be decided<br />
options, which received three<br />
votes. The option of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Regional<br />
Park received no votes.<br />
The rapidly growing club is<br />
seeking a facility which supports<br />
gatherings, military remembrance<br />
services, community<br />
events, as well as a bar, restaurant<br />
and cafe.<br />
Fosters Homestead has been<br />
flagged for removal by the district<br />
council which owns it.<br />
The district council came under<br />
fire earlier this year from the<br />
building’s previous owners of<br />
the Foster family, who said their<br />
former home had been allowed<br />
to deteriorate and succumb to<br />
vandalism. They wanted the district<br />
council to consult with the<br />
public on possible future uses of<br />
the building.<br />
Rolleston RSA Club secretary/<br />
treasurer Richard Hurt said he<br />
was not surprised by the results<br />
of the poll.<br />
“All of the people we have<br />
COMMUNITY<br />
VENUE: Fosters<br />
Homestead<br />
(left) could<br />
be restored<br />
to its former<br />
glory (below) if<br />
Rolleston RSA<br />
took it over.<br />
spoken to and people who come<br />
to our club nights, they have expressed<br />
the overwhelming desire<br />
to use that rather than anywhere<br />
else,” Hurt said.<br />
The club has proposed to pay<br />
the district council a peppercorn<br />
rental, say $1 per year, but take<br />
on the responsibility of renovations,<br />
maintenance and running<br />
costs.<br />
Hurt said the RSA would<br />
be asking councillors at their<br />
meeting next week to delay a<br />
decision on what should happen<br />
to the building. This would<br />
be to give time for the RSA to<br />
prepare a proposal so the district<br />
council could make an informed<br />
decision.<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />
SQUIRE THE three-legged<br />
cat from Darfield would have<br />
been an easy target for the<br />
person who shot him, says his<br />
owner Shelly Hindle.<br />
The three-year-old fluffy<br />
ginger was rushed to the vet<br />
after returning home with<br />
blood all over him on Friday.<br />
The vet confirmed he had<br />
been shot, causing a fractured<br />
lower jaw and leaving bullet<br />
fragments in soft tissue.<br />
Hindle said the latest injury<br />
occurred after just one year<br />
ago Squire had to have a leg<br />
amputated due to a crushed<br />
paw, likely having occurred<br />
from being caught in a trap.<br />
Having only three legs<br />
meant he walked slowly and<br />
awkwardly, so it would have<br />
been easy for someone to aim<br />
a gun at him.<br />
Hindle said vets’ bills so<br />
far were about $3000. The<br />
figure was expected to climb<br />
as he may need one or more<br />
surgeries. However, the family<br />
would be paying it regardless.<br />
Squire was very special<br />
to herself, husband Richard<br />
and their children, including<br />
teenager Logan.<br />
“He’s like a dog, he comes<br />
in and he talks to us, he<br />
plays in the snow, he has his<br />
own teddy bear that he carts<br />
around. He’s a right smooch,<br />
but he’s feisty with it.”<br />
Squire is now down to having<br />
just six of his nine lives<br />
remaining, having been saved<br />
as a stray by the family after<br />
turning up on their doorstep<br />
as a starving kitten.<br />
‘RIGHT SMOOCH’:<br />
Logan Hindle with<br />
family cat Squire,<br />
before he lost one<br />
of his front legs.<br />
Hindle said residents of<br />
her rural residential neighbourhood<br />
shot rabbits and<br />
possums, nevertheless, she believed<br />
the shooting of Squire<br />
had been deliberate.<br />
It made her look back on the<br />
incident of his crushed paw<br />
one year ago more so as if this<br />
had been deliberate as well,<br />
and that it could be linked to<br />
the reported disappearances<br />
of a number of cats in the<br />
wider area in recent times.<br />
She planned to report the<br />
shooting to police.<br />

New uniforms proposed<br />
for Darfield HS students<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
WOOLLEN JERSEYS and girls’<br />
dresses will be out, and blazers<br />
and ties will become optional,<br />
under new proposals for the<br />
Darfield High School uniform.<br />
In addition,<br />
a school jacket<br />
with school<br />
logo would be<br />
introduced, and<br />
rules would<br />
be loosened<br />
around hair<br />
styles, make up,<br />
Andy<br />
England<br />
jewellery and<br />
tattoos.<br />
The school is<br />
surveying students,<br />
staff and families on the<br />
proposed changes, which would<br />
take effect next year.<br />
Principal Andy England said<br />
from about 110 responses received<br />
as of Friday last week, the<br />
great majority were in favour of<br />
change.<br />
“We are responding to student<br />
need and it is time for a refresh,”<br />
England said.<br />
He said there had been pressure<br />
from students for several<br />
years through student council.<br />
Items unpopular included the<br />
girls dress, and blue school shirt,<br />
due to the stiff material it was<br />
made from.<br />
While there were currently<br />
restrictions on hair, make-up,<br />
jewellery and tattoos, the law<br />
had changed and did not support<br />
these.<br />
The proposal was to ease<br />
restrictions but keep a rule preventing<br />
anything which could be<br />
offensive or unsafe.<br />
The traditional woollen jersey<br />
would be replaced with a soft<br />
material jersey or hoodie. The<br />
blue shirts would be made from<br />
a better material, and girls would<br />
have the option of shorts, skirts,<br />
skirts and trousers. Juniors<br />
would have the option of a polo<br />
shirt.<br />
The blazer, which currently has<br />
to be worn at school assemblies,<br />
would become optional, as would<br />
the school tie. The school would<br />
keep stocks of blazers and ties for<br />
wearing at formal events.<br />
A uniform jacket with school<br />
logo would be introduced.<br />
If the new uniform was<br />
introduced, the current one<br />
would be also be allowed for a<br />
period of time.<br />
Darfield High School<br />
principal Andy England<br />
pays tribute to a popular<br />
teacher Scott Jermyn who<br />
died recently aged 46.<br />
Scott Jermyn was a gentle<br />
giant of a man who loved teaching.<br />
Last month, he passed away<br />
peacefully following a long<br />
battle with cancer. He was supported<br />
by his wife, Angela Jermyn,<br />
who was a Darfield High<br />
School teacher until the start of<br />
this year, and family members.<br />
Before coming to the school<br />
in 2011, Scott taught at South<br />
Hornby School, Seddon School,<br />
Paihia School, Paremata School,<br />
and Kirwee Model School.<br />
During his time at Darfield, he<br />
held a range of roles, including<br />
year 7 dean, numeracy co-ordinator,<br />
staff trustee and specialist<br />
classroom teacher. He was also<br />
an avid rugby and cricket coach,<br />
involved in the quad games,<br />
NEWS 13<br />
GENTLE<br />
GIANT:<br />
Teacher<br />
Scott<br />
Jermyn<br />
was<br />
popular<br />
with<br />
students<br />
and fellow<br />
teachers<br />
alike.<br />
ShowQuest, and taking students<br />
to various competitions and<br />
school camps. He introduced the<br />
pirate game at year 8 (a sports<br />
game which has since become<br />
an institution for year 8 pupils<br />
at the school). Scott cared for his<br />
colleagues and supported them<br />
in and out of school.<br />
Mostly though, to us, Scott<br />
was an inspiring and caring<br />
classroom teacher. He had a<br />
manner and way about him that<br />
everyone loved. Children loved<br />
his dry sense of humour, calling<br />
his class his “little darlings”<br />
and writing “Mr Jermyn is awesome”<br />
at the top of some teachers’<br />
whiteboards. This was out<br />
of reach of their shorter frames.<br />
We will all miss him.<br />
Many of our staff, and<br />
many students are feeling<br />
this loss keenly. But our staff<br />
and students are wonderful<br />
people who are supportive and<br />
understanding.<br />

Ford fans put their ponies on show<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
THEY CAME from Australia,<br />
England, Germany and, of<br />
course, Detroit, and who could<br />
not see the passion in the eyes<br />
and voices of the hundreds of<br />
owners and enthusiasts who<br />
turned up for the Ford day at the<br />
Waimak Classic Cars museum in<br />
Leithfield on Sunday.<br />
In spite of the threatening rain<br />
which eventually forced many<br />
to head home early, nearly 200<br />
Fords of all ages and descriptions<br />
turned out to show off<br />
their lines, curves, engines and<br />
pedigrees.<br />
There were Falcons old and<br />
new, Fairlanes, Mustangs,<br />
Capris, Thunderbirds, Cortinas,<br />
Escorts, Zephyrs and more.<br />
Standing beside his immaculate-66<br />
Mustang coupe, Rick<br />
Paulsen, of Prebbleton, said he<br />
had been a Ford fan all his life,<br />
owning many over the years,<br />
from Escorts to Mustangs.<br />
“I’ve been a blue oval man<br />
through and through for all my<br />
life. My dad had Falcons, and the<br />
reason I own a 66 coupe like this<br />
one was because my uncle had<br />
one when I was six-years-old,<br />
and I said one day, I’m going to<br />
own one, and now I do,” Paulsen<br />
said.<br />
Waimak Classic Cars spokesperson<br />
Sally Lane said it was an<br />
honour for them to host the Ford<br />
day.<br />
“We were holding the Ford<br />
event for all the Ford lovers, drivers,<br />
dreamers and owners,<br />
“There was a very good vibe<br />
there and we had the Mustang<br />
club here as well as the hot rod<br />
club turn up and compete for a<br />
wide variety of prizes for best in<br />
show,” she said.<br />
Many Ford fans said they had<br />
been born into Ford families.<br />
Bruce McCormick of Harewood,<br />
said he had followed in<br />
his father’s footsteps and had a<br />
lifelong passion for early Fords.<br />
“My father had 46, 48 sedans,<br />
and I have a 37 Ford V8 and a 37<br />
club ute, I love them,” he said.<br />

A venue for every occasion<br />
In <strong>Selwyn</strong>, we’re fortunate to have<br />
over 30 amazing venues suitable for<br />
hosting family celebrations, community<br />
functions or group events. From<br />
old heritage style halls to modern<br />
community centres, there are plenty of<br />
options.<br />
For places bursting with character<br />
there are a variety of historic halls such<br />
as the beautiful Broadfield Community<br />
Centre – a category two listed hall built<br />
in the 1870s with a kitchen and situated<br />
in a reserve with tennis and netball<br />
courts – or the 1930-built and recently<br />
restored Southbridge Hall which<br />
includes a stage.<br />
For character and modern practicality<br />
there’s a wide range of choices whether<br />
you’re looking for a meeting venue,<br />
sporting event or celebration. These<br />
include the Lakeside Memorial Hall<br />
and Dunsandel Community Centre –<br />
both winners in the 2019 Canterbury<br />
Architecture Awards.<br />
Surrounded by heritage trees, the<br />
Prebbleton Community Cottage is a<br />
great bookable space for community<br />
gatherings, corporate meetings and<br />
small workshops. Originally Ceres<br />
Cottage, it started its life on a farm on<br />
Birchs Road in Lincoln in the late 1800’s.<br />
After the farm land was sold in 2008,<br />
the cottage was moved to Blakes Road<br />
and gifted to the Prebbleton community,<br />
Weedons Community Pavilion<br />
Prebbleton Community Cottage<br />
where it was restored by community<br />
volunteers and reopened in 2014.<br />
Rolleston Community Centre has<br />
a variety of hireable spaces from the<br />
stadium with stage, community lounge<br />
and kitchen to a number of new<br />
meeting spaces large and small. Tucked<br />
away on Maddisons Road off from the<br />
main route to West Melton, sits the<br />
Weedons Community Pavilion. Only a<br />
five minute drive from Rolleston, this<br />
modern hall can host sporting events,<br />
classes, corporate events, workshops and<br />
birthday parties. Many users of the hall<br />
say they love the parking, the outside<br />
toilets and the glass doors that allow for<br />
easy access to the grass area outside.<br />
Glentunnel Community Centre is a<br />
great space for community functions,<br />
school uses and recreational activities<br />
such as dance classes. A large outdoor<br />
area with an exceptional outlook<br />
provides an ideal setting for any<br />
occasion.<br />
Just down from the famous Springfield<br />
donut, the Tawera Memorial Hall is<br />
another ideal location for performances,<br />
club meetings or community classes.<br />
The spaces range from holding 25<br />
people up to 300.<br />

REBUILD: The new Kirwee Tavern will be finished by the end of the year. The<br />
building is to have the same footprint as the original, with the same area for<br />
car parking and the entranceway. The original two-storey building was almost<br />
completely destroyed when a fire broke out in the late hours of Christmas<br />
Eve, 2019. The cause was found to be an electrical fault due to old wiring.<br />

ORGANISERS of the first-ever<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Marathon have been left<br />
appalled at the amount of gear<br />
stolen from the event, including a<br />
portaloo.<br />
The marathon was held last<br />
Sunday with the start and finish<br />
line at the Lincoln Event Centre.<br />
Race director John Moore said<br />
up to $4000 worth of equipment<br />
has been stolen.<br />
It includes four 30-50km speed<br />
signs and four Stop/Go paddles,<br />
as well as numerous KM markers<br />
and cones.<br />
Five event signs were also<br />
taken, along with three exclamation<br />
signs.<br />
But what has shocked organisers<br />
the most is the theft of a grey<br />
Superloo port-a-loo.<br />
“It’s actually quite gutting. It<br />
leaves a real bad taste in your<br />
mouth.<br />
“The event went great and then<br />
to find out the toilets been stolen.<br />
Who steals a portaloo? It’s just<br />
ridiculous,” Moore said.<br />
He said every sign cost about<br />
$100 each and the Stop/Go paddles<br />
cost about the same.<br />
“We’re not quite sure what the<br />
cost of the toilet is yet. It could be<br />
about $4000 worth of gear taken.<br />
“It’s straight-up theft, we’re just<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Marathon<br />
‘gutted’ by theft<br />
gutted really.<br />
“Whether it is a contractor or<br />
something who wants a toilet in<br />
their yard and thinks ‘oh they<br />
won’t miss it’ or think it’s a joke,<br />
but it’s not really a joke.<br />
“To put these events together<br />
costs thousands of dollars . . . and<br />
when you have to turn around<br />
and pay thousands of dollars for<br />
the gear that’s been stolen, it is<br />
ridiculous.”<br />
The theft was not the only<br />
thing organisers have had to deal<br />
with.<br />
They received reports of a<br />
woman in her 50-60s who was<br />
abusing the race marshals.<br />
She later drove at a runner who<br />
managed to duck out of the way<br />
just in time, Moore said.<br />
The woman was driving a<br />
beige Kia vehicle and organisers<br />
have contacted police about the<br />
incident.<br />
“That could have been a real<br />
mess. We were dumbfounded<br />
when we found out about that.<br />
It’s just stupidity.”<br />
Police have been contacted<br />
about the theft and the abuse<br />
incident.<br />
If you have any information<br />
that could assist in locating<br />
the items, contact the race<br />
organisers.<br />

Council supports improved access for all<br />
A new card to improve access is now being used at all Council<br />
facilities.<br />
The Hāpai Access Card is now accepted at all Council facilities,<br />
allowing staff to better support people with disabilities to access<br />
and use the Council’s services.<br />
The scheme has been in use in Aotearoa New Zealand for 18<br />
months, based on a similar system running in the United Kingdom.<br />
It uses a card that the holder can show a participating organisation.<br />
Icons on the card show what assistance a person may need,<br />
helping the organisation to provide the appropriate support. Staff<br />
have been trained to support card holders.<br />
The icons on each card are unique to the holder and their needs<br />
and provide a discreet way for people to indicate to Council staff<br />
what they need to help them best use the facility and services.<br />
Group Manager Community Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says the cards fit well with the Council’s<br />
commitment to accessibility in its Accessibility Charter.<br />
“Our facilities and our services are for all our residents and anyone who needs them," she says "We<br />
want to make sure that everyone feels welcome and is able to use our services and get the full benefits<br />
of them. The Hapai Access Card is another way that we can be more welcoming and help reduce the<br />
barriers that make it harder for people to use our services.”<br />
It was encouraging to see the way Council staff welcomed the initiative and the Council’s wider<br />
accessibility work, Hapai Access Card Executive Manager Susan Jackson says.<br />
"It has been great to have the opportunity to onboard <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council’s sites to the Hāpai Access<br />
Card. Two things that impress me; Firstly the willingness of the operations staff to embrace this tool<br />
for improving accessibility, and secondly the commitment of the property and building staff to up the<br />
standard, and to continue to improve accessibility in Council buildings”.<br />

Council approves land rezoning for residential<br />
development in Lincoln<br />
The Council has approved rezoning of 190 hectares of rural land south of Lincoln for residential<br />
development.<br />
The decision follows the independent Commissioner’s recommendation to approve the Private Plan<br />
Change 69 request (PC69), which Rolleston Industrial Developments Ltd lodged with the Council 18<br />
months ago.<br />
The next step in the process is to publicly notify the Council’s decision – which is expected to be on 22<br />
<strong>June</strong>.<br />
“Those who submitted during the public consultations – and the applicants – will have 30 working days<br />
to make an appeal to the Environment Court once the decision is notified,” says Council’s Environmental<br />
and Regulatory Services Group Manager Tim Harris.<br />
If an appeal is received, the Environment Court will hold the hearings and make the final decision.<br />
The Council ran two rounds of public consultation on the private plane change request, and received 255<br />
submissions and seven further submissions. A total of 66 submitters gave evidence at the subsequent<br />
hearings.<br />
“In response to the Council’s and submitters’ concerns a number of changes have been made to the<br />
original request,” Mr Harris says.<br />
These changes include a reduction in the number of possible residential sites, from around 2,000<br />
to around 1,700; more commercial land that can cater for community and educational facilities; and<br />
changes to address traffic volumes.<br />
Since 2020 when the National Policy Statement On Urban Development (NPS-UD) was introduced the<br />
Council has received 16 private plan change requests for rezoning land across the district which, if all<br />
approved, would enable around 10,000 further residential sites across the eastern areas of the district.<br />
Without the NPS-UD the Council would have likely rejected most, if not all, of the private plan change<br />
requests before they had continued to be processed. This is because they wouldn’t have met the<br />
provisions of the Regional Policy Statement.<br />
“We are required to process private plan change requests, such as PC69, as a result of the new national<br />
policy framework,” Mr Harris says.<br />

Boon tops 100th game with two tries<br />

CLUB MAN Nick Boon sure<br />
knew how to bring up his 100th<br />
senior rugby game for Burnham<br />
Dunsandel Irwell combined on<br />
Saturday – scoring two tries in<br />
an upset 38-36 win against top<br />
side Waihora in the division two<br />
competition.<br />
Boon, 36, has been with<br />
Dunsandel for his entire playing<br />
career, starting out as a junior 32<br />
years ago. While at St Andrew’s<br />
College, he played midweek<br />
for the school, returning at the<br />
weekends to play for Dunsandel.<br />
Boon, a loosehead prop or<br />
hooker, is a big part of the<br />
Dunsandel community. He is<br />
in the volunteer fire bridage, a<br />
groundsman for the Dunsandel<br />
Domain, on the rugby club’s<br />
committee, always present<br />
helping at school with country<br />
days and is notably the first<br />
person to put out a helping hand<br />
when someone’s in need.<br />
BDI club president Dan<br />
Turnball said Boon’s dedicated<br />
service to the club never goes<br />
unnoticed.<br />
“He’s such a loyal and strong<br />
member of not just the rugby<br />
club, but the wider community.<br />
“He’s just a pleasure, he<br />
really is.”<br />
Past president Leo Donkers<br />
couldn’t speak more highly of<br />
Boon.<br />
“The vision of our club is to<br />
inspire the community, and he is<br />
the ultimate. He should get every<br />
accolade for doing that because<br />
he is the best person that we<br />
have in our club that shows<br />
those traits.<br />
“Nick makes it really easy for<br />
the community because it’s<br />
never a problem when he’s<br />
asked to do something,” Donkers<br />
said.<br />
Boon said he was stoked with<br />
the milestone achievement.<br />
“It’s pretty exciting actually,”<br />
he said.<br />
“It’s been a long time coming,<br />
and it’s nice to have done it just<br />
with one club as well.”<br />

Saracens pip Prebbleton to make final<br />
• By Tatiana Gibbs<br />
IT WAS heartbreak for<br />
Prebbleton as Saracens stole a<br />
nail-biting victory in Saturday’s<br />
Luisetti Seeds Cup semi-final,<br />
pipping Prebbleton right on<br />
fulltime with a converted try to<br />
steal the match 31-29.<br />
Prebbleton had a steel grip<br />
on making the final, leading<br />
Saracens 29-17 with 10 minutes<br />
to go. But Saracens’ super sub<br />
flanker Nathan Goodwin and<br />
lock Alex Kennedy scored tries<br />
in the last six minutes. First fiveeighths<br />
Ricky Allin kicked both<br />
pressure-mounted conversions to<br />
seal Prebbleton’s fate.<br />
Saracens will host Glenmark<br />
Cheviot in Saturday’s final, a<br />
match-up no-one predicted<br />
with Glenmark Cheviot<br />
entering the playoffs as a wild<br />
card in the eighth spot. They<br />
beat Southern 28-17 in the other<br />
semi.<br />
Prebbleton club president<br />
Jeromy Knowler said the battle<br />
felt all too familiar, having<br />
flashbacks to last year’s quarter<br />
final where Prebbleton beat over<br />
Saracens 17-16 with a penalty<br />
goal on fulltime.<br />
“It’s disappointing but we did<br />
it to them here last time, so we<br />
know how they feel,” he said.<br />
“I thought they were out on<br />
their feet, but they kicked into<br />
another gear.”<br />
Prebbleton’s first five-eighths<br />
Ted Coleman scored the match’s<br />
first points, kicking a penalty<br />
over the post to boast an early<br />
lead 3-0.<br />
But Saracens scored twice in<br />
the opening 10 minutes, thanks<br />
to speedy right wing Lenuel<br />
Hill, followed by a mammoth<br />
29 phase attack which led to left<br />
wing Oliver Bithray scoring out<br />
wide.<br />
Allin’s conversion gave<br />
Saracens a 12-3 lead.<br />
Prebbleton spent the next 20<br />
minutes knocking on Saracens<br />
goal line, but just couldn’t touch<br />
down, throwing marginal passes<br />
out wide and losing the ball.<br />
“That first half we bombed<br />
goodness knows how many tries,<br />
mustering five chances where<br />
SKY SCRAPER: Alex Coulthard gets airborne for Prebbleton.<br />
we could have scored that we<br />
didn’t,” Knowler said.<br />
“And every time they<br />
(Saracens) didn’t even look like<br />
they had a chance, they turned it<br />
into points.”<br />
But in the 30th minute,<br />
Prebbleton’s patience paid off,<br />
scoring the first of two tries to<br />
close out the opening half.<br />
Open side flanker Edward<br />
Sunia scored their first and<br />
centre Cameron Hay dotted<br />
down on halftime. Coleman<br />
successfully converted the<br />
first but in spite of team mates<br />
holding the ball steady on the<br />
tee from howling north-west<br />
winds, his second jab didn’t<br />
make it over.<br />
Prebbleton had their noses<br />
just out in front heading into the<br />
break <strong>15</strong>-12, a margin try-scorer<br />
and co-captain Hay said should<br />
have been larger.<br />
“They were the more clinical<br />
team and we didn’t get enough<br />
points in that first half which<br />
hurt us at the tail end of the<br />
game, and we couldn’t close it<br />
out,” Hay said.<br />
The next 30 minutes saw<br />
Prebbleton’s backs create<br />
magic with tries to Coleman<br />
and second five-eighths Tim<br />
Murgatroyd, which Coleman<br />
converted both. In between,<br />
Saracens centre Toby Ashby<br />
touched down to keep their<br />
chances alive.<br />
With 10 minutes to go and a<br />
29-17 lead, Prebbleton looked<br />
like they were going to secure<br />
a home final. But they couldn’t<br />
get the rub of the green from the<br />
referee’s whistle, which Saracens<br />
capitalised on.<br />

The big one that<br />
didn’t<br />
get away<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
RAKAIA RIVER salmon anglers<br />
are revelling in a season they say<br />
is the best in a decade.<br />
“It’s one out of the box so far,”<br />
Simon McMillan of Leeston<br />
(pictured) said.<br />
He is leading the Southbridge<br />
Hotel salmon fishing competition,<br />
having weighed in a 8.95kg fish on<br />
January 6.<br />
Hotel owner/<br />
operator Harry<br />
Singh said it was<br />
the biggest fish<br />
entered in the<br />
competition since<br />
1997. The smallest<br />
so far this season<br />
was 5.65kg, which<br />
would have been<br />
considered a<br />
good-sized fish in<br />
previous seasons.<br />

Harness racing corruption allegations:<br />
Evidence handover decision delayed<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
A LEGAL argument to<br />
determine whether the Racing<br />
Integrity Board can access<br />
evidence produced by a police<br />
probe into alleged corruption<br />
and drug use in the harness<br />
racing industry continues to<br />
drag on.<br />
Some Canterbury-based defendants<br />
charged during the<br />
Operation Inca probe led by<br />
the National Organised Crime<br />
Group are seeking to prevent the<br />
transfer of evidence from investigators<br />
to the RIB, the industry<br />
watchdog.<br />
It is possible the High Court<br />
will eventually rule on the<br />
matter, but for now the argument<br />
is confined to the district court<br />
jurisdiction.<br />
Judge Raoul Neave, who is<br />
presiding over charges stemming<br />
from Operation Inca, said<br />
counsel now had until July 29 to<br />
make submissions while the<br />
RIB had until August 26 to<br />
respond.<br />
Neave is expected to consider<br />
the issue again in September.<br />
The RIB want access to the<br />
evidence to determine whether<br />
it can also lay charges. Harness<br />
HIGH STAKES: The Racing Integrity Board’s bid to access police information with a view<br />
to prosecuting harness racing figures already involved in the Operation Inca investigation<br />
is expected to be considered in September. PHOTO: GEORGE HEARD/NZ HERALD<br />
Racing New Zealand is also<br />
seeking to access evidence with<br />
a potential view to taking action<br />
against industry participants.<br />
Currently all defendants<br />
involved in Operation Inca have<br />
interim name suppression, which<br />
was extended by Judge Neave at<br />
their latest appearance.<br />
Operation Inca, a covert<br />
surveillance operation, initially<br />
charged 13 harness racing<br />
figures in 2018 following an<br />
18-month investigation into<br />
race-fixing and the supply of<br />
recreational drugs.<br />
Some charges were dropped<br />
by the Crown in February<br />
and five more individuals,<br />
including drivers and owners,<br />
also had betting-related charges<br />
withdrawn.<br />
Three defendants still face<br />
charges, which are also under<br />
review.<br />
Meanwhile, Woodendbased<br />
harness racing trainer<br />
Cam Jones faces a RIB penalty<br />
hearing on <strong>June</strong> 21 in relation<br />
to the alleged administering of<br />
a substance to Johnny Nevits<br />
on race day at Addington last<br />
December.<br />
Johnny Nevits was one of two<br />
horses injected by suspended<br />
harness racing trainer Jesse<br />
Alford two hours before they<br />
were due to race at Addington in<br />
February last year.<br />
Alford was subsequently<br />
banned for seven years and<br />

Whakaata Mai te Kūkūwai: Reflections from the Wetlands Exhibition, today-July 3. The<br />
exhibition celebrates the special Ngāi Tahu relationship with wetlands. <strong>Selwyn</strong> is rich with<br />
wetlands that are full of biodiversity, and significant to Ngāi Tahu as a source of mahinga<br />
kai. In spite of many wetlands being destroyed or modified, whānau continue these<br />
food-gathering practices today. The exhibition highlights the work of Ngāi Tahu and local<br />
communities to restore wetlands for future generations through photographs, video, stories,<br />
and taonga. Free, bookings not required. Te Ara Ātea<br />

Claim of ‘Nothing Done’<br />
Insulting: ECan Chief<br />
Environment Canterbury says it has<br />
always acknowledged the extent of the<br />
water quality challenge in the region’s<br />
waterways and is working hard on<br />
improvements.<br />
Responding to criticism from<br />
Greenpeace, ECan Chief Executive Dr<br />
Stefanie Rixecker said $60 million in<br />
ratepayer money had been invested<br />
over the last decade in a framework<br />
to improve water quality throughout<br />
Canterbury.<br />
“Limits on the amount of nitrogen<br />
farms can leach have been in place<br />
since 2012,” Dr Rixecker said. “With the<br />
input of our water zone committees and<br />
local communities, these limits have<br />
been tightened further in particular<br />
catchments – for example, a 30 per cent<br />
reduction in nitrogen losses from dairy<br />
farms in <strong>Selwyn</strong> Te Waihora by <strong>2022</strong>,” Dr<br />
Rixecker said.<br />
Farmers were required to work to<br />
industry-agreed good management<br />
practices and to have auditable farm<br />
environment plans. ECan worked closely<br />
with the rural community and carried<br />
out a successful land use consent to farm<br />
campaign to ensure farmers understand<br />
and can implement these requirements.<br />
“As well as regulatory measures, there<br />
are many non-regulatory actions that<br />
farmers are taking to make a difference<br />
to the environment such as stock<br />
management, precision irrigation,<br />
riparian planting, and restoration of<br />
wetlands.<br />
“We often hear that nothing is being<br />
done. This is insulting to the many<br />
people in our communities, farmers and<br />
others, who are working hard to improve<br />
things.”<br />
ECan Science Director Dr Tim Davie<br />
says it was Environment Canterbury<br />
science that recognised the scale of the<br />
problem, which has led to significant<br />
investment from the regional council and<br />
the community to improve the situation.<br />
“There is no simple, quick fix solution.<br />
We have called on a vast range of<br />
scientific expertise to help us navigate the<br />
issue. All this work has been captured in<br />
the Canterbury Land and Water Regional<br />
Plan to which the whole community<br />
has contributed and is continuing to<br />
implement. This is a long-term plan that<br />
is gradually turning a very large ship<br />
around.”<br />
Dr Davie said it was ironic that “the<br />
latest Greenpeace salvo against the<br />
Canterbury community” stems from<br />
a research paper by Dr Joy that relies<br />
heavily on Environment Canterbury<br />
scientific publications for its technical<br />
analysis. “Those Environment<br />
Canterbury publications clearly point to<br />
the scale of the water-quality problem<br />
and the amount of remediation required.”<br />
ECan chair Jenny Hughey said that<br />
over the last three years ECan had<br />
“successfully built on the water quality<br />
improvement platform”.<br />
The council was working with farmers<br />
to help them understand and adhere to<br />
the rules in our own plans as well as the<br />
regulations in the Government’s Essential<br />
Freshwater package, Dr Hughey said.<br />
Farmers who were actively working<br />
to reduce nutrient losses would be<br />
well positioned as we move towards<br />
implementing Te Mana o te Wai through<br />
an integrated plan for Canterbury. This<br />
plan must be notified in 2024.<br />

Land and Water Report<br />
Card Released<br />
Environment Canterbury’s latest<br />
quarterly report has been published,<br />
highlighting progress made on its<br />
six work areas within the land and<br />
water portfolio.<br />
The performance report is<br />
prepared for the council’s regional<br />
and strategic leadership committee<br />
and for the community. It describes<br />
work ECan is doing to meet targets<br />
in its Long-Term Plan 2021-2031<br />
and highlight the “risks and issues”<br />
for the council’s portfolios.<br />
That work is guided by the<br />
Canterbury Water Management<br />
Strategy (CWMS), a shared regional<br />
commitment between Papatipu<br />
Rūnanga, territorial authorities,<br />
zone committees, stakeholder<br />
organisations and the community.<br />
ECan says one of its major aims is<br />
improving freshwater outcomes by<br />
partnering with Ngāi Tahu and the<br />
community to implement national<br />
direction.<br />
“We are improving freshwater<br />
outcomes by partnering with<br />
Ngāi Tahu and the community to<br />
implement national direction. We<br />
are also empowering and engaging<br />
communities to deliver actions on<br />
the ground to meet the Canterbury<br />
Water Management Strategy<br />
targets,” an introduction to the<br />
council’s land and water report says.<br />
There is a “stewardship”<br />
component to the work.<br />
“Stewardship of water and land<br />
is a collective responsibility. Our<br />
role will include investing in ways<br />
of supporting, building awareness<br />
and implementing opportunities to<br />
deliver improved water quality and<br />
sustainable land use in Waitaha –<br />
the Canterbury region. We monitor<br />
and review the effectiveness of all<br />
our campaigns and programmes.”<br />
ECan work includes support for<br />
10 water zone committees (largely<br />
based on river catchments) to<br />
deliver on CWMS targets in their<br />
zone. The zone committees –<br />
joint committees of Environment<br />
Canterbury and the local authority<br />
that covers each zone – have<br />
representatives appointed from<br />
across the community.<br />
The Regional Water Management<br />
Committee monitors the<br />
implementation of the CWMS<br />
across the Canterbury region, and<br />
provides advice and regular reports<br />
to Environment Canterbury, Te<br />
Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the<br />
Canterbury Mayoral Forum.<br />
ECan is also supporting<br />
support the introduction of the<br />
Government’s Essential Freshwater<br />
package, which aims to improve<br />
freshwater quality throughout the<br />
country.<br />
Freshwater is managed locally<br />
and through national direction<br />
from Government. “We are working<br />
with our partners to review and<br />
amend our regulatory framework<br />
to give effect to the Government’s<br />
Essential Freshwater package, the<br />
Resource Management Act and<br />
the Canterbury Regional Policy<br />
Statement,” the council says.<br />
“As well as implementing our<br />
planning framework and national<br />
direction, we will partner with<br />
Papatipu Rūnanga to increase<br />
community engagement and<br />
awareness of Te Mana o te Wai.”<br />

GARDENING 35<br />
Warm up by getting out in the garden<br />
IT’S GETTING harder to get up<br />
early due to the colder weather.<br />
However, there’s always something<br />
to do in the garden, even in<br />
winter. Many gardeners are motivated<br />
to keep planting in spite of<br />
the colder weather<br />
not only to save on food costs but<br />
also because gardening is regarded<br />
as a productive and satisfying<br />
hobby.<br />
On top of this, gardening is a<br />
great way to keep warm, healthy<br />
and inspired.<br />
For <strong>June</strong>, garden maintenance<br />
includes enriching your soil, turn<br />
it over and add compost and<br />
fertilisers such as sheep pellets.<br />
It’s also time to let go of your<br />
leftover summer plants and finish<br />
raking up the autumn leaves.<br />
Leaves make good mulch so make<br />
use of them.<br />
It’s also time to prepare your<br />
soil for strawberry and garlic<br />
planting.<br />
In the edible garden, brassicas<br />
such as broccoli, cabbage and<br />
cauliflower can handle the colder<br />
weather and can be planted generally<br />
in milder winter regions.<br />
Buying seedlings will give you<br />
a good head start. Plant broad<br />
beans and peas if you live in areas<br />
without frost.<br />
For the really cold areas, you<br />
may want to consider planting<br />
silverbeet, kale, spinach, garlic,<br />
strawberries and onion, using<br />
mulch for much needed insulation.<br />
Organic mulches, 5-8cm<br />
thick, may include pea straw and<br />
oak leaves.<br />
If you’re planning to give one of<br />
your garden beds a rest, you may<br />
want to consider planting cover<br />
plants like blue lupin and mustard.<br />
Cover plants help your soil<br />
regain nitrogen content.<br />
Closer to spring, you can turn<br />
over the soil planted with these<br />
cover crops and use these crops<br />
as live compost by burying them<br />
in the soil. This will improve your<br />
soil structure.<br />
Stagger planting – lettuce,<br />
onions, peas, radish – every 10-14<br />
days.<br />
When days get shorter and<br />
colder, your plants need all the<br />
help they can get. Seaweed plant<br />
tonic will give your garden its<br />
much needed boost. It promotes<br />
strong root growth, helps the<br />
plants handle the temperature<br />
shock and most importantly, it<br />
helps bolster the plants’ cell walls<br />
giving it stronger resistance to<br />
diseases.<br />
Ideally, garlic is planted in<br />
colder months (from <strong>June</strong>-July)<br />
because it needs the cold for the<br />
bulb to properly develop.<br />
If you’re planting strawberry<br />
seedlings this <strong>June</strong>, note that they<br />
will be most productive in their<br />
first year.<br />
In the flower garden smiling<br />
pansy flowers, geranium, colourful<br />
polyanthus are hardy annuals.<br />
Geraniums are beautiful, coldtolerant<br />
plants that keep pests at<br />
MAINTENANCE:<br />
Turn over<br />
topsoil and<br />
enrich it with<br />
fertiliser. Get<br />
your children<br />
interested in<br />
helping.<br />
bay. They can be great companions<br />
with many beautiful flowering<br />
plants like roses, lobelia and<br />
vegetables like cabbages.<br />
You may also want to consider<br />
planting more flowers in hanging<br />
baskets, containers and pots. This<br />
way, you can move your flower<br />
pots around your patio/deck for<br />
more sunlight or protection.<br />
If you are thinking of adding<br />
herbs to your winter garden, the<br />
cold-hardy ones are catnip, parsley,<br />
mint and thyme. Chives will<br />
move to dormant state but they<br />
will be back in spring.<br />
Winter is still a good time to<br />
plant all natives as they can thrive<br />
in New Zealand’s unique climate.<br />
Native grasses, trees and shrubs<br />
appreciate the colder weather.<br />
Festuca actae is an native tussock<br />
that has a striking silvery bluish<br />
green colour. They are great for<br />
mass planting to create a stunning<br />
landscape.<br />

Fuel-friendly, funky C3 Aircross<br />
SMALL CARS are undergoing a<br />
resurgence, well that’s no surprise,<br />
new car buyers today are looking<br />
to get maximum value from their<br />
costly litre of fuel.<br />
Cars with small, thrifty engines<br />
are a popular choice for those<br />
who are not quite ready to join<br />
the electric revolution. But the<br />
question is how small is practical?<br />
Citroen’s C3 is one car that will<br />
tempt with its 1.2-litre three-cylinder<br />
engine returning a combined<br />
cycle fuel usage average of<br />
5.8-litres per 100km. But at just<br />
4m in length it may be a little too<br />
compact for some buyers. Sure,<br />
French car designers know how<br />
to create space from nowhere,<br />
and the C3 will easily take care of<br />
its occupants.<br />
However, if you are looking for<br />
a small car and something French<br />
then the C3 offers another alternative<br />
– the Aircross.<br />
The C3 Aircross is labelled by<br />
Citroen as a sport utility vehicle.<br />
I’m not entirely convinced, I see<br />
it more as a crossover vehicle,<br />
something in-between. However,<br />
it does sit on the C3 platform and<br />
utilises the same driveline, and as<br />
a car it is larger in every dimension,<br />
thereby providing more<br />
interior room, and it must be said<br />
the Aircross is spacious considering<br />
just 16cm is added to length.<br />
If you think there would be<br />
AVANT-GARDE: Spacious interior and unusual trim detailing.<br />
disadvantages, forget that, the<br />
Aircross is a charmer, it is comfortable,<br />
affordable at $38,990 and<br />
has the benefit of a 7.3l/100km<br />
combined cycle average, and with<br />
its 45-litre tank it doesn’t seem<br />
scary when time comes to fill it,<br />
however, bear in mind you do<br />
need premium fuel.<br />
Interestingly, the Aircross<br />
doesn’t get the benefit of the<br />
Government’s low carbon<br />
emission rebate, the C3 does,<br />
but the Aircross is just over the<br />
threshold.<br />
The new C3 Aircross is just<br />
that, totally new. However, the<br />
mechanicals, as mentioned, are<br />
those which are used elsewhere<br />
throughout the Citroen/Peugeot<br />
line-ups. And to cope with the<br />
extra height against the C3 the<br />
Aircross’ suspension has been<br />
tightened marginally.<br />
Elsewhere, the Aircross is a<br />
cheeky, funky five-door that will<br />
command solid sales. It is built to<br />
the Citroen way of manufacture –<br />
avant-garde, a little unusual, but<br />
with a whole heap of charm. Take<br />
the interior trim materials and<br />
patterns, for example, they are<br />
complex and have many contrasts<br />
with their bold elliptical designs.<br />
The three-pot engine, which<br />
displaces just 1199cc, has been<br />
widely-acclaimed, winning many<br />
awards globally, and deservedly<br />
so, the turbocharged unit<br />
punches well above is weight with<br />
its 81kW and 205Nm power outputs.<br />
Drive is channelled through<br />
a six-speed automatic gearbox,<br />
the only transmission available<br />
in New Zealand, the distributors<br />
wouldn’t have it any other way<br />
either, while manual gearbox cars<br />
are still trendy in Europe, they<br />
don’t sell here.<br />
All that aside, the automatic<br />
works fine, it is robust and does<br />
everything like it should, the<br />
ratios are well structured so that<br />
economy and performance go<br />
hand in hand.<br />
The Aircross will reach<br />
100km/h from a standstill in<br />
10.6sec and will complete a<br />
highway overtake in 7sec (80-<br />
120km/h).<br />
However, the best figures are<br />
those of its economy, it is a mammoth<br />
fuel miser. At 100km/h<br />
it sips fuel instantaneously at<br />
the rate of just 4.8l/100km at<br />
100km/h in sixth gear, the engine<br />
turning over quite relaxed at<br />
2000rpm.<br />
When I took the car back to<br />
the dealership the combined average<br />
was reading just 8l/100km,<br />
which considering the car was<br />
brand new and probably a little<br />
tight in the engine, was a good<br />
result.<br />
That doesn’t mean the engine<br />
isn’t ready to perform, the beauty<br />
of the modern turbocharger is<br />
its ability to provide substantial<br />
power low in the rev band –<br />
5500rpm and just <strong>15</strong>00rpm for<br />
torque – as a result, it responds<br />
• Price – Citroen C3<br />
Aircross, $38,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4160mm; width, 1756mm;<br />
height, 1637mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1199cc, 81kW,<br />
205Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 10.6sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.3l/100km<br />
willingly to throttle pressure.<br />
On the open road, the Aircross<br />
cruises with just a hint of the<br />
harmonics normally associated<br />
with the three-cylinder design.<br />
I’ve made no secret of my desire<br />
for that configuration, and it is<br />
a real gem with its response and<br />
characteristics that are part of the<br />
catalyst promoting tidy handling<br />
manners.<br />
Sitting on quiet-riding Bridgestone<br />
tyres (2<strong>15</strong>/50 x 17in), the<br />
Aircross has controlled grip and<br />
purposeful balance. It steers<br />
delightfully, and even though it<br />
is tall at over 1.6m, the suspension<br />
firming I mentioned earlier<br />
means there is little weight transition,<br />
body balance stays even and<br />
occupants are treated to a ride/<br />
handling balance that you could<br />
expect only from Citroen.<br />
I remember well the air/pneumatic<br />
designs in cars of previous<br />
generations, and I can safely say<br />
that even with far more simplistic<br />
technology today’s ride from any<br />
CITROEN C3<br />
AIRCROSS:<br />
Crossover<br />
model that<br />
will appeal<br />
with its<br />
economy.<br />
Citroen model easily replicates<br />
that fabulous float-on-air feeling.<br />
I took the test car on a run<br />
through to Little River, I didn’t<br />
do as many kilometres as I ordinarily<br />
would in an evaluation<br />
car simply because I didn’t want<br />
to run up unnecessary wear on<br />
a dealer demonstrator. But given<br />
it was most likely to be my only<br />
chance to drive the Aircross I<br />
wanted to glean as much satisfaction<br />
from it as I possibly could<br />
and it performed with dignity,<br />
appeal and with a quiet, subdued<br />
nature.<br />
In terms of specification, the<br />
Aircross wants for nothing, it also<br />
gets a whole heap of kit for safety<br />
alongside comfort and convenience.<br />
I mentioned the interior<br />
layout, while it is complex in the<br />
way it looks, it is intuitive when it<br />
comes to function, finding your<br />
way around the controls doesn’t<br />
need any special attention.<br />
One of the things I liked the<br />
most was the driving position<br />
and comfort from the driver’s<br />
seat, under-thigh support and<br />
softness have been a high priority<br />
manufacturing ingredient.<br />
Citroen has always sold well<br />
in Christchurch. I don’t know<br />
if that has anything to do with<br />
some kind of connection to our<br />
French settlement of Akaroa, but<br />
I will say that when I was driving<br />
on State Highway 75 I saw two<br />
other French cars heading in that<br />
direction. I’m hoping they were<br />
buyers who, like me, enjoy the<br />
driving experience of European<br />
models.<br />

[Edition datE]<br />
What do you have to tell potential<br />
buyers when selling your house?<br />
When you’ve lived in a property for a<br />
while it’s easy to forget some of its quirks.<br />
You might be used to the fact that the<br />
front gate doesn’t shut properly, or that<br />
the bathroom windows need fixing. Any<br />
potential buyers will be able to spot issues<br />
like this when they inspect the property –<br />
and can choose to fix them if they purchase<br />
it. But it’s a lot harder for them to identify<br />
other things you might have forgotten<br />
about, like the fact that you didn’t bother<br />
getting the appropriate consents from the<br />
council when you built the deck 25 years<br />
ago.<br />
You might think the deck is fine, but you<br />
need to front up about the consent issue,<br />
not least because it’s the decent thing to do.<br />
“When you’re selling a property you are<br />
legally obliged to share all the relevant<br />
information about it,” says the Real Estate<br />
Agents Authority (REAA).<br />
“If work has been done on the property<br />
during your ownership, either by you or<br />
someone else, the standard terms of the<br />
sale and purchase agreement require the<br />
seller to warrant that any legally required<br />
permits or consents were obtained. If you<br />
knowingly fail to disclose unconsented<br />
works, you are in breach of contract. This<br />
means there is a risk that the sale could fall<br />
over or that you could run into problems<br />
prior to settlement. Even worse, the buyer<br />
could take you to court for breach of<br />
warranty.”<br />
Your first step should be to discuss the<br />
issue with your licensed real estate agent<br />
and your lawyer, Lampen-Smith says. They<br />
are likely to advise that you are better off to<br />
disclose anything unconsented, or to strike<br />
out the applicable vendor warranties clause<br />
in the sale and purchase agreement.<br />
“Once the real estate agent is aware of the<br />
situation, they are bound by their Code of<br />
Conduct to disclose it to any prospective<br />
buyers. If you tell them about the deck or<br />
any other issues to do with the property,<br />
but ask them not to tell anyone, they are<br />
required to stop working for you.”<br />
Similar disclosure issues can arise over<br />
more sensitive matters. Some sellers worry<br />
about whether or not to tell an agent or<br />
prospective buyers about an issue that<br />
doesn’t relate to the physical state of the<br />
property – such as it being the scene of a<br />
murder, suicide or violent crime.<br />
Here, deciding what to disclose is less<br />
straightforward, Lampen-Smith says.<br />
“The REAA advises agents to take a<br />
cautious approach and to consider each<br />
situation on its facts, while recognising the<br />
individual circumstances.”<br />
The High Court has said that a more<br />
recent event, especially one that might<br />
have gained some notoriety in the local<br />
neighbourhood, may have more bearing on<br />
a prospective buyer’s view of the property<br />
than a historic one. The location of the<br />
event (whether it took place in the grounds<br />
of the property or inside the house) and<br />
whether the property has been lived in since<br />
it happened, as well as the likely reaction<br />
of potential buyers, should also be taken<br />
into account. The death of someone from<br />
natural causes at the property does not<br />
need to be disclosed, as this is considered<br />
an everyday occurrence.<br />
“If you are in this situation as a seller, it’s<br />
best to discuss what to do with your real<br />
estate agent.”<br />
“They cannot tell prospective buyers<br />
without your consent – and if they decide<br />
that a sensitive issue should be disclosed<br />
but you don’t agree, then they must cease<br />
to act for you.”<br />
Whatever the situation, whether it’s<br />
unconsented work or a tragic event, honesty<br />
is the best policy. Talk to your agent about<br />
how the disclosure will be handled. There<br />
is no need to advertise the information<br />
or tell everyone who wanders along to an<br />
open home, but potential buyers who have<br />
indicated an interest in making an offer<br />
must be told.<br />

What build requirements are there?<br />
Explore what a new stage will look like.<br />
Buying in a subdivision<br />
Section availability is mostly in new<br />
housing estates and the district generally<br />
has a number to choose from, especially in<br />
Rolleston and Lincoln.<br />
Factors influencing section choice will be:<br />
the distance from your workplace, ease of<br />
travelling, services available, size and price<br />
of available sections, and where you would<br />
like to live.<br />
Ground conditions may also be a<br />
consideration. In <strong>Selwyn</strong>, the land<br />
is generally good for building with<br />
only a standard 364 foundation often<br />
required. Many people are choosing a<br />
RibRaft foundation as it offers seismic<br />
strengthening and may work out more<br />
economical.<br />
A factor which should be high on your<br />
list should be the covenants a developer has<br />
in place and whether these will present any<br />
issues for you.<br />
Any new housing subdivision is likely<br />
to have covenants stipulating what can<br />
and cannot be constructed, in terms of<br />
minimum and maximum house size on<br />
a given section, and aesthetic features<br />
like the roof pitch, acceptable claddings,<br />
landscaping and what is permitted on view<br />
from the street.<br />
The covenants will be supplied with the<br />
Purchase and Sale Agreement. Read these,<br />
asking your lawyer for advice and checking<br />
with your builder to ensure these can be<br />
met before signing on the dotted line.<br />
Before finalising your house plan<br />
with your builder and building consent<br />
application is lodged with Council, send<br />
this and a landscape plan to the developer<br />
for approval. This will avoid costly changes<br />
or problems down the line. There may<br />
be a charge associated with Developer’s<br />
Approval or a refundable bond may be<br />
incurred. This process is put in place to<br />
protect the overall look and integrity of<br />
the housing estate and ensure any damage<br />
incurred during construction is put right.<br />
Certain covenants may seem annoying<br />
however, they protect the environment you<br />
are buying into and can be accommodated<br />
with good design.<br />
The standard of builds in respective<br />
subdivisions may vary from smaller<br />
economic housing to larger sections and<br />
homes. There may also be variations in<br />
the features in each subdivision such as<br />
the street width, number of children’s play<br />
areas, walkways and beautification.<br />
Where you are purchasing off a plan for<br />
a section in a new stage of a subdivision,<br />
ask questions so you appreciate what the<br />
area will ultimately look like. Doing your<br />
homework will help give you surety that<br />
what is proposed will happen. This includes<br />
when title is due, something which can be<br />
slowed by Council consent requirements or<br />
the weather delaying earthworks.<br />
Closeness to schools, shops and public<br />
transport may also be considerations,<br />
especially if you want your children to have<br />
independence by walk to school, a park<br />
or sporting activities. Consider how each<br />
subdivision might suit your lifestyle.<br />
For great results<br />
and a “hassle-free<br />
experience”<br />

[Edition datE]<br />
Looking for a property – what really counts?<br />
You are in the market for a new<br />
property, scrolling the Internet,<br />
examining properties for sale and<br />
zeroing in on those with potential. They<br />
might be in locations that offer cheaper<br />
land, larger houses, or convenience to<br />
work or school.<br />
You may have visited show homes<br />
and open homes becoming confused,<br />
overwhelmed or swept away with<br />
emotional factors like having<br />
everything new, or extra features such<br />
as three car garaging.<br />
To be happy with your choice, list the<br />
features that you need, considering:<br />
• Family space – Is there room for<br />
the children to play indoors and for<br />
television and entertainment units?<br />
Should this be open plan or separated?<br />
• Kitchen – What needs to be in<br />
your kitchen? How serious are you<br />
about a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim<br />
or something that offers a practical<br />
solution to the way you use your<br />
kitchen?<br />
• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum<br />
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate<br />
to slightly lower building costs while<br />
extra space can be useful. When<br />
looking at existing homes, consider<br />
whether the size of each bedroom is<br />
sufficient.<br />
• Garaging – A standard double<br />
garage once two cars are parked there<br />
offers little space for the toys. What<br />
toys do you have and could they live<br />
with the lawnmower in a garden shed,<br />
a cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />
If the budget allows and a larger garage<br />
with workshop is important, make it a<br />
selection priority.<br />
• Size of land – Lifestyle properties<br />
offer space for children, pets, hobbies,<br />
an expansive garden and perhaps a<br />
home-run business but they require<br />
work so are not for everyone and a<br />
compact section might be more sensible<br />
if a tight budget or busy lifestyle.<br />
• Bathrooms – Second and third<br />
bathrooms are great in homes with<br />
teenagers and a wet shower room is<br />
ideal for young children. A bath might<br />
be fashionable though is often not used<br />
and its absence could mean a more<br />
spacious bathroom.<br />
• Laundry – Would a laundry in the<br />
garage do the job?<br />
• Storage – How much storage do<br />
you need? Weigh up what can truly be<br />
stored in the garage once vehicles are<br />
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary<br />
in size so check the size to ensure your<br />
vehicles will fit. Look also at where<br />
else the house offers storage capacity<br />
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot<br />
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes<br />
(check their width and depth), walkin<br />
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as<br />
the potential for hooks and shelving<br />
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden<br />
equipment and even kayaks.<br />
• Off-street parking – How many<br />
vehicles can be parked on the driveway?<br />
Will this space be sufficient?<br />
• Garden - Is there sufficient space<br />
for your children to play or for<br />
entertaining?<br />
A checklist will allow you to determine<br />
what will suit your needs, the point of<br />
the exercise, saving you time looking at<br />
properties or potential house designs<br />
while assisting you to decide whether<br />
to buy a new or existing home with<br />
both options having advantages and<br />
disadvantages.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Create warmth and ambience<br />
with a log burner<br />
It’s a wet miserable day, you’re curled up in a comfy chair with<br />
a good book, the cat’s asleep at your feet, and you’ve got that<br />
warm and cosy feeling, all thanks to your log burner. Radiant and<br />
convection heat keep you warm, while the orange flames create<br />
ambience and give an instant feeling of warmth.<br />
Efficient log burners provide dry heat that can be transferred<br />
throughout the house. Whether inbuilt or freestanding, log burners<br />
are built to warm your surroundings, but wetback models can also<br />
heat your water, while ones with cook tops are fantastic if the power<br />
goes out!<br />
Emma Hounsell, from FiresNThings, advises, “There is a fire for<br />
everyone.” The log burner you choose should be the best fit for your<br />
home, style and budget, and whether you want to specifically heat<br />
a small area or the whole house with heat transfer. Consultations<br />
should consider where the home is located, the home’s size, and the<br />
existing insulation and windows. Emma suggests that one kilowatt<br />
of heat is required for every 10 square metres. Various makes and<br />
models of log burners have a maximum output range of 10–28<br />
kilowatts.<br />
Council consent is needed for a log burner, and Environment<br />
Canterbury determines the zone based on your property’s location.<br />
Clean air models are classed as ULEB (Ultra Low Emission Burners)<br />
or LEB (low emission burners); they are rated based on the grams<br />
of particulate per kilogram emitted and their efficiency. Multifuel<br />
burners are only available for properties over two hectares, including<br />
rural areas. A log burner provider may do a scope of work with a<br />
site inspection for a complete quote to have the burner installed,<br />
including advising if a flue extension is required due to the ridgeline<br />
or pitch of your roof. Depending on the type of burner and flooring,<br />
the burner may be installed on a concrete, tile or pre-slab hearth.<br />
Maintaining your burner ensures<br />
efficiency and longevity<br />
Regular chimney sweeping assists cleaner burning and safety.<br />
Netting or mesh on the cowl can prevent bird nests from creating<br />
chimney fires. Replace any worn or broken internal components,<br />
including bricks, baffles, and air tubes.<br />
Choosing the type of wood to burn is personal preference and<br />
budget. A reputable wood merchant sells dry wood with less than<br />
25% moisture content. A “hot mix” with a good balance of softwood<br />
and hardwood is popular. Fires burn best and are cleaner with the<br />
setting fully open. Rather than dampening down, only add wood<br />
when it has died down. Firewood is a renewable energy source, with<br />
the carbon emitted from burning being less than coal (often used in<br />
the middle of winter to generate electricity).<br />
Log burners are still a popular and efficient choice to heat your<br />
home. There is nothing better than walking into a room warmed by<br />
a log burner and experiencing that “aah” moment.<br />
