Wednesday July 13 2022 Selwyn Times • By Chris Barclay A RESIDENTS’ group spearheading opposition to the controversial Lincoln South housing development has launched a Givealittle campaign to finance legal action. Lincoln Voice aims to raise $150,000 to lodge an appeal with the Environment Court after district councillors voted to rezone 190ha of rural land to facilitate the Carter Group’s 1700-unit subdivision. The June 8 decision followed two rounds of public consultation and independent commissioner David Caldwell recommending the district council approve the necessary plan change. Residents claim the township was not equipped to handle an expansion of that magnitude. Lincoln Voice, which was established on July 1, has until August 4 to lodge its appeal. Lincoln Voice member Denise Carrick created the Givealittle page which proclaims: “Help us protect Lincoln’s Soil & Save our Future” last Wednesday, and embraced the challenge of taking on the district council. “I’m sure some will think it is an impossible battle but we really want to stand up for the future of our soils, our ability to grow food and our neighbourhood to make sure it is developed in a logical, healthy Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Group sourcing funds for legal action against Lincoln South David Caldwell and sustainable way,” she said. “The amount of money we are trying to raise may seem enormous but once you start looking into the cost of specialist lawyers and expert witnesses the amounts quickly add up, and we have been warned these cases can be dragged out intentionally to drain our resources and wear us down.” It was estimated $7000 would be required to prepare and lodge the appeal, while the $150,000 figure should cover legal fees. Any excess funds would be applied to future projects. By 2pm Monday $3050 had been contributed by 33 donors. • Further information on the Lincoln Voice campaign can be found at https://givealittle.co.nz/ cause/help-us-protectlincolns-soil-and-save-ourfuture NEWS 3 Miller will not stand for mayor • By Susan Sandys GRANT MILLER has decided not to run for the mayoralty in October’s local body elections, but will stand for re-election as a councillor for the Springs Ward. “I certainly thought long and hard about the mayoralty, I have some different ideas than the current leadership, but as it stands at the moment I can’t commit to that role,” Miller told the Selwyn Times. Nominations for local body elections open Friday. Currently the only person who has confirmed they will stand for election as mayor is incumbent Sam Broughton. Miller said he wanted to continue to dedicate himself to other governance roles he was already involved with, including those on the boards of Central Plains Water and Transwaste Canterbury. As such, it was not the right time to stand for the role. He said he may consider it in future. He encouraged others to consider standing for mayor, adding that he believed it would be “sad” for Selwyn if Broughton stood unopposed. “There needs to be a contest of ideas,” Miller said.
