SELWYN’S NEXT annual
plan consultation could include
funding the Christchurch stadium
Te Kaha if and when the district
council is asked to contribute.
The annual plan would be the
mechanism for that process, district
councillors say.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
Selwyn’s position remains “that
we are open to considering any request
for funding for the stadium,
but no formal request has been
received so far. Any contribution
from Selwyn would have to be
subject to consultation with our
community – but this needs to be
a Canterbury-wide conversation.”
The stadium has risen in cost by
$150 million, from $533 million to
$683 million, which the Christchurch
District Council has voted to
proceed with.
Asked when and how the
district council might consider
this funding, Broughton said “so
far there has been no request for
funding. Until that happens we
can’t speculate on the timing and
process for consultation.”

RESIDENTS opposing the
controversial Lincoln South

with more than $10,000 of

on 190ha of rural land.
The majority of the more than

to the development, claiming
the township was not equipped
to handle an expansion of that
magnitude.
“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

way,” Carrick said.

Call for Canterbury-wide consultation
• From page 1
Deputy Mayor, Malcolm Lyall,
said any funding would need to
be put before the public in an
Annual Plan process and have
to be part of a Canterbury-wide
consultation.
“The stadium proposal has
come about from a funding
agreement between the Crown
and Christchurch City. It is only
after the budget has blown out
that it has been suggested that
Selwyn should contribute.
“We have only 29,000 rateable
properties, any funding decision
needs to be made by the
Canterbury region and would
need to be put before the public
for consultation in an annual
plan process. The corporate
entities that will benefit from the
stadium should also be asked to
contribute.”
Councillor
Nicole Reid said
she would have
expected we
would have been
consulted with on
the stadium before
Nicole
Reid
now if it was
an intention of
Christchurch City
Council to request funding from
Selwyn, as opposed to making a
request after the final design and
costings had been approved.
“We have already undertaken
our Annual Plan budget for this
financial year so if any stadium
funding request is received from
CCC, this would have to go
through next year’s Annual Plan
consultation with our community
for the 2023/2024 financial
year,” she said.
Councillor Mark Alexander
said it was likely that the 2023/24
Annual Plan would include consultation
on a stadium rate. “My
personal view doesn’t matter. It
should be and will be ratepayers
who decide,” he said.
Councillor Sophie McInnes
said she was “not averse” to a
conversation regarding operational
funding for Te Kaha, “but
any Selwyn contribution would
need to be confirmed via a Long
Term Plan consultation with district
residents (or similar, if they
choose to go with a regional rate
via ECan). We’ve never received
indicative costs however, so it
would be ridiculous for anyone
to say they’re in favour of adding
an undisclosed sum to household
rates forever.”
McInnes said she did not
believe that the wider region
should contribute to capital costs,
“because CCC have undertaken
every stage alone so far – even the
recent survey, which was open to
all but contained no directly relevant
information for those living
beyond Christchurch. I know
that this is because the project
didn’t blow-out until recently,
however, if CCC didn’t think
they could cover the increased
budget themselves, they shouldn’t
have voted for it.”
Councillor Grant Miller said
the council’s Long Term Plan
already predicts average rate increases
of six per cent per annum
so any additional funding would
increase the future burden on
ratepayers.
“Selwyn ratepayers are highly
concerned about rating affordability
and a compelling case
would need to be made for the
Selwyn District Council to
consider using Selwyn ratepayer
funding for this rather than upgrading
road and other services
in Selwyn,” he said.
Councillor Debra Hasson said
any adjustment to council’s 10-
year planning budget (LTP) could
attract a rate increase.
“Therefore, following a democratic
process by submission it
will be for our ratepayers to decide
if Selwyn should contribute,”
she said.
Ashburton District Council
chief executive, Hamish Riach,
said his council had not been
approached to make a contribution
to the stadium so it was
not possible to comment about
a contribution from Ashburton
ratepayers.
“As I understand it, the
Christchurch City Council has
agreed to sign a construction
contract without asking for any
contribution from Ashburton (or
anyone else). If we do receive a
request in the future, we would
need to consider in light of our
own budget planning processes,
and critically that would involve
consultation with our community,”
Riach, a former chief of
Canterbury Rugby, said.
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon
said if his council was asked,
that would require community
consultation.
In Hurunui, Mayor Marie
Black said they were yet to hear
from the city council about funding
for a stadium so they haven’t
yet discussed it around the council
table.
Timaru Mayor Nigel Bowen
has estimated 90 per cent of his
ratepayers would be against a
stadium contribution, likening it
to Hamilton paying for a stadium
in Auckland.

Brazen building site thieves risking lives
• By Tim Fulton
THIEVES breaking into
building sites are risking their
lives for as little as a few hundred
dollars of scrap metal.
Construction sites often contain
high-value, saleable items
such as machinery, building
materials, fuel and tools. Thieves
last week smashed into a large
Canterbury construction site to
steal copper worth $200 from a
heating unit, while causing an
estimated $250,000 of damage.
The site manager, speaking
on condition of anonymity,
said someone “got a grinder,
cut his way in to the major
plant – the heating and cooling
and basically tried to cut a
whole heap of copper out. That’s
quarter of a million dollars down
the drain.”
The risk and reward equation
was crazy, he said.
“All the machines are live,
they’re running. I’m surprised
we didn’t turn up and find a
dead body there. Where they cut
it, there’s obviously coolants and
bits and pieces in the machines.
Where he’s cut the copper, the
stuff in it’s like acid. If he gets
hit by that, it’ll burn you to the
bone. So these guys are actually
risking their lives for probably
two hundred dollars scrap in
copper. It’s insane.”
Daniel Bennett from Selwynbased
Precision Builders said he
had been building in the district
for eight years and his only theft
was about a metre of a mains
power cable, removed for the
copper.
“We’re really vigilant; we keep
our couple of vans stocked with
anything of value and we only
leave stuff in the house once it’s
locked.”
Bennett had appliances
delivered to his own home and
only brought appliances onto site
once a kitchen was installed and
an electrician was at work.
“The plumbing gear turns up
the day that the plumbers there;
to me it’s just common sense,”
he said.
Bennett was building 15
homes a year and he accepted
that it was harder to manage
material once you did bigger
volumes.
“A lot of people don’t have the
infrastructure so they just power

sites to steal

materials. ​
everything onto the site two or
three weeks before it’s needed,
which just opens up opportunities
to be taken.”
Glen Taylor, owner of security
systems hire firm ATF Vision,
said they typically get a spike
of phone calls from builders on
Monday mornings.
“We used to see small thefts
but it’s now big dollar stuff; hot
water cylinders and in one case
a builder had 44 sheets of Gib
board stolen, we’ve had gutters
taken off buildings . . . It’s really
bad.”
Thefts were happening
everywhere, he said.
“We see market triggers;
we might see fuel go up and
literally overnight, theft goes up.
Especially with fuel prices, you’ll
see desperate contractors out
there who can’t afford the fuel.
So, what do they do? They go
down to the local construction
site and just siphon it out –
done.”
Carl Taylor, Carl Taylor
Homes, said he had been dealing
with theft ever since he build
his first spec house nearly 20
years ago. “I remember the agent
ringing me up one day, prior to
the open home, and he said ‘hey
Carl, what happened to your
carpet?” Only the underlay was
left behind, he said.
“When we build a house, we
factor in about two-to-three
grand of gear to get flogged.
You have to have a contingency
percentage in there – and that
tends to rise every year. That’s for
things like inflation as well, but
that contingency figure is quite
high now,” he said.
The district’s police chief
Inspector Peter Cooper said
police nationally are noticing
an increase in burglaries on
construction sites over the last
few months.

incumbent Sam
Broughton.
The construction

consultant is the

candidate besides Broughton
to show his hand. He is also
standing for district councillor
in Rolleston ward, and for the

Payne said he was standing
for the mayoralty not to win it,
but to help him get to know constituents
throughout the whole
district during the campaign
period. He wanted to do this
so he could be the best possible
district councillor or community
board member if he was elected
to either of those roles.
He said just campaigning
for the district councillor and
community board roles would

restrict him at campaign meetings
to the Rolleston and West
Melton areas, when he wanted to
hear the community’s views on
issues throughout the whole district,
and meet as many people as
possible face-to-face.
“For the mayoral role, what
I’m about is supporting what’s
already happened over the last
three years in Rolleston and
Selwyn district, and taking it
forward for the next three years.
I’m behind Sam in the future of
Selwyn, and in taking it forward,
because I think he’s done some
brilliant work in the last six
years,” Payne said.

Mayoral candidate doesn’t want the job

A DISTRICT council
employment initiative
introduced in the face of
skyrocketing population growth
has been recognised at Local
Government New Zealand
Excellence Awards 2022.
The Selwyn Works: New Employment
Approaches to Drive
Economic Growth initiative
earned a highly recommended
accolade.
New Rolleston facility Te Ara
Ātea was also recognised at the
awards, winning the Creative
New Zealand excellence award
for cultural well-being.
Judges said they were impressed
with the employment
initiative’s implementation. The
district’s population had grown
a massive 27 per cent, or 20,000
people, in the six years to 2021,
to an estimated 73,600.
The initiative focused on connecting
18 to 24-year-olds with
employment or training, holding
careers expos and creating
pathways.
Meanwhile, Te Ara Ātea had
emerged as a clear winner of the
cultural award. It was recognised
for being built around good
relationship management, having
a large range of stakeholders
involved, and resulting in direct
and indirect benefits for the
district.
LGNZ president Stuart Crosby
said the district council should
be applauded for its work in
improving the well-being of its
communities.
“Councils have faced a number
of challenges in the past couple
of years, including making sure
that core services are delivered
throughout lockdowns and alert
level changes,” Crosby said.
“It’s heartening to see what
Selwyn council has been able to
do in the middle of a pandemic.
“These are outstanding
projects that are having an
integrational impact on the well
being of their communities. They
should be incredibly proud of
their achievements.”
A third project, Faces of
Selwyn, was a finalist in the
Kāinga Ora homes and communities
excellence award for social
well-being.
The overall top honour, the
Fulton Hogan local excellence
award, was won by Porirua City
Council for Streamside Project

Helping dogs find their forever home
Hundreds of dogs
are abandoned
or surrendered to
Dogwatch’s shelter each
year. Reporter Emily
Moorhouse chats with
Bridget Paterson about
what life is like in the
shelter and why she
loves her job
BRIDGET Paterson pinches
herself everyday going to work
and said she is doing her “dream
job”.
“My job is basically hanging out
with dogs and doing what I do for
dogs, we’re all dog lovers so it’s a
really, really cool place to be.”
That place is Bromley’s
Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust, an
organisation that rescues, retrains
and rehomes the city’s unwanted
dogs.
The trust gets most of its
dogs from council pounds like
Waimakariri, Selwyn, Ashburton
and the city.
The majority of dogs are surrendered
by owners who can no
longer care for them, or they are
abandoned and picked up from
the side of the road.
Paterson joined the Dogwatch
team at the end of March as
the general manger when
the organisation underwent
restructuring due to staff
shortages with Covid.
The trust doesn’t receive any
funding so relies heavily on
volunteers, the Dogwatch Variety
Shop in New Brighton and
donations from the public.
Paterson has a background
in marketing and fundraising,
previously working for
Canterbury West Coast Air
Rescue Trust before owning a
jewellery store in the central city.
However, she closed the store
during Covid due to a lack of
tourists, and is now responsible
for pulling in funding to keep
Dogwatch running.
Like the other staff members
and volunteers at Dogwatch,
Paterson is a dog lover and
admitted to becoming attached
to the dogs that come through
GOOD BOY: Boss is the Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust’s longest
stay dog at more than 600 days, while Stanley (below) has
become an essential member of the admin team.
the trust’s doors.
“Everyone’s nuts about dogs
here,” she said.
“Pretty much everyone that
works here has a dog from here
and they also foster them.”
Paterson has a rescue dog and
cat, both from the SPCA, and
said her mother was also a dog
lover, so was surrounded by dogs
growing up.
Because the organisation is
constantly running at full capacity,
they often juggle the dogs
between 14 kennels at the trust,
various foster homes and monthlong
adoption trials.
“Shelter life is hard on lots of
dogs so if they’re dog nervous or
don’t do well with other dogs this
is a really hard place for them to
be, they can get quite stressed, so
we work really hard with them
on that,” Paterson said.
One dog in particular that
struggles with stress and noise
from other dogs is Stanley, the
two-year-old Staffy cross who
became an essential member of
the admin team.
Stanley gets stressed from the
noise of other dogs barking and
tries to escape, often hurting
himself in the process, so spends
time in the office with staff during
the day.
“He’s really relaxed there
because he’s around people,”
Paterson said.
Paterson said the hardest part
of the job is coming across dogs
that have been mistreated and
hearing the stories of their past.
Two months ago the trust
had two small dogs dumped on
the driveway in a crate during a
“freezing” night, while another
with a broken tail was dumped
on the side of the road.
“People do some pretty awful
things,” she said.
“They’re sad stories . . . it’s just
disheartening the way some
people treat an animal and when
you’re an animal lover that’s hard
to handle.”
However, staff and volunteers
work with these dogs to build
up their trust again, giving them
the chance to show their true
character once comfortable.
In fact, most of the dogs at the
trust are named after certain traits
or characteristics they have.
Paterson said while staff and
volunteers form a bond with each
dog, they are stoked to see them
get adopted into a loving family
who looks after them.
“We couldn’t survive without
those volunteers, they’re
amazing,” Paterson said.
The trust has 120 volunteers,
with animal behaviourists and a
qualified dog trainer in the mix,
retraining dogs with traumatic
pasts that can make rehoming
difficult.
Paterson said some dogs have
experienced being hit by things
such as a leash, so have developed
a fear of leashes that has to be
worked through.
“They each have their own little
challenges. When we get a dog,
we don’t know their full history
so we don’t know what we’re
dealing with until we get to know
them.”
Occasionally, when a dog gets
adopted it will be returned to the
trust if the owners can’t care for it
properly, which Paterson said was
quite hard.
“We always try to be really
kind to people that need to
surrender dogs because often it’s
a hard thing to do . . . so we need
to be supportive.”
Three-year-old Boss, a
Rottweiler cross rescued from the
city council pound, is the trust’s
longest-stay dog, having spent
more than 600 days in the shelter.
He is currently undergoing an
adoption trial, which staff hope
will be a success.

Staff and volunteers tend to
stay in contact with people who
adopt the dogs, and get sent
photos and updates on how
they’re doing, even years after the
adoption.
“We do tend to have long-term
relationships with people and
they’ll adopt a dog but then
come back to get a second dog,”
Paterson said.
This year marks 40 years of
the trust operating. To celebrate,
staff want to build an adventure
park for the dogs on the five-acre
patch of land at the trust.
The park will be fit with
tunnels, obstacle courses,
sprinklers, a paddle pool, a sand
pit and everything else a dog
needs to play with.
There is currently a Givealittle
page with a goal to raise $40,000
by the end of the year.
Paterson said they had “a long
way to go” with having only
raised a little under $3000, but the
trust will soon be approaching
funders and launching a separate
campaign, which she hopes will
bring in more donations.
“Shelter life for dogs is quite
hard, they don’t get the one-onone
attention they would if they
were in a home so something
like that, that enables them to
be challenged and do different
things and just enable them to
play, would be fantastic.”

Luxurious Otahuna a stone’s throw away
Journalist Juliette
Sivertsen spends time
at a hidden gem in
the district – Tai Tapu’s
Otahuna Lodge
AS SOON as my lips close
around a portion of tender duck
confit leg smeared in a golden
kūmara puree, I let out a groan of
culinary pleasure with my mouth
full.
“Oh my gosh!” It is hardly
an exclamation suited to the
sophistication of my dinner
scene; I have a private dining
experience for one in the library
of Otahuna Lodge, surrounded
by hundreds of books sitting on
hand-carved bookshelves. The
fire roars next to me, framed
by two leather armchairs, and
the soft guitar notes of Martin
Winch plucking his way through
‘Fields of Gold’ deepens the
pensive tone of my evening.
I take another bite, this one
adding a porcini mushroom to
a slice of succulent duck breast,
mopping up a little red wine jus.
An umami explosion follows and
I know I’ll be raving about this
very dish after my stay. I follow
with a swirl of the Martinborough
pinot noir that hostess
Lucy has paired with my main
course, putting my cutlery down
between every bite, in order to
savour each mouthful.
Food is an integral experience
at the Tai Tapu luxury lodge.
Situated on 30 acres of land,
the gardens supply the house
with more than 120 different
types of fruit, vegetables, nuts
and mushrooms. For 17 years,
executive chef Jimmy McIntyre
has been preparing meals here,
tailoring the menu for guests
each day to make the most of
what is growing in their gardens.
Each evening begins with
canapes and bubbly, followed by
a carefully planned four-course
menu with a bottle of wine. Each
dish is presented by the chef, who
explains each component and
is there to answer any questions
about the food.
The previous night I’d dined
in the turret for an equally

exceptional meal, joined by
my sister who had taken time
away from her toddler in a welldeserved
night of luxury. It took
both of us all of about 30 seconds
after arriving at the grand estate
to wish we were moving in
permanently to recreate our own
Downton Abbey experience.
The house was built in 1895.
It was originally the home of
politician and philanthropist Sir
Heaton Rhodes for a little over
60 years until his death in 1956.
Since then it’s been through
several hands – at one stage it
was a Catholic commune – and
through some much-needed
repairs.
The current owners, American
couple Hall Cannon and Miles
Refo, bought the lodge in 2006
and have spent the last 14 years
restoring and preserving its
legacy. Today, it’s a seven-suite
luxury retreat, the largest private
historic residence in New Zealand,
and listed as a Category 1
historic building.
On arrival, Hall is waiting on
the steps of the mansion ready
to greet us and give the grand
tour. His warm, friendly accent
is a welcoming introduction
as he points out details such as
the original Japanese gold-leaf
wallpaper in the ornate dining
room, the dramatic carved kauri
staircase and his impressive
private art collection that he
curated for the lodge. He advises
that if either of us would like to
have any of the 15 working woodburning
fireplaces lit,
we just have to ask.
Rosemary and I settle into our
suites – I in the verandah suite,
named after the nine-metre
balcony sweeping across the
front, overlooking the expansive
gardens and the lodge’s famous
daffodil fields, home to more
than a million daffodil bulbs. I’m
in awe not only at the number of
armchairs that can fit into one
bedroom suite, but also at the
size of the bathroom with a large
bath in the centre, sitting in front
of one of the 15 fireplaces in the
lodge and another armchair in
the corner.
I imagine staying here in the
middle of winter, soaking in the
warm water in front of the fire,
a glass of red wine in hand, with
a soft robe hanging up on the
wall for post-bathing comfort.
An iPod sits on a dock on the
bedside table with a playlist of
light jazz and easy listening tunes
including classics such as ‘Danny
Boy’.
Rosemary is across the hallway
in the Clark suite, slightly smaller
but still every bit as impressive,
with dusky blue tones and
stained-glass windows, and a
spa tub in the bathroom. In the
hallway, a shoe-shining box sits
on a table between two large
chairs, and a large unit is stocked
with multiple teas, coffee, chilled
beverages, and a supply of snacks
we can help ourselves to at any
time. The next morning, four
freshly baked scones appear
underneath a glass dome.

Restore your gut health with a Marvel Health scan
The Marvel Health Whole Body Scan performs
a detailed examination of all the organs in the
body, including the gut and digestive system, for
signs of diseases.
Diseases and problems of the gut are varied
and can be very debilitating. Stomach pain and
discomfort, Bloating, Excessive Gas, Acid Reflux,
Diarrhoea and Constipation are some of the
problems many people suffer from regularly.
The gut is particularly vulnerable because it is
continually in contact with foreign compounds
from foods and drinks that may be harmful to
the body. Luckily our gut is designed to handle
and protect us from some of the toxic chemicals
and harmful microbes that we inadvertently
consume from food. Food allergies most
commonly caused by gluten intake and food
additives mainly from processed foods cause
digestive problems
such as diarrhoea, bloating, abdominal pain and
even skin problems. Mycotoxins typically found
in grains are also a significant source of foodborne
contaminants.
Microbes such as bacteria and parasites can
contaminate food and cause inflammation of the
stomach, intestines and liver.
Microbes can cause diseases, nutrient
deficiencies, and other health complications.
The Scan at Marvel Health thoroughly examines
the body for some of the common causes of
digestive issues, including:
Microbes- Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi
Food Allergies - Wheat, Milk, Peas, etc
Food Additives Sensitivities
Overload of Toxins
Nutrient Deficiencies
Chronic inflammation and Diseases
After the scan, international doctors and
healthcare specialists at Marvel Health will study
the report and recommend targeted sciencebased
natural treatments and lifestyle changes to
support the body’s healing.

Lodge the epitome of sophistication
• From page 13
There are a range of experiences
and facilities offered at Otahuna,
including massage in the
woodland studio, a swimming
pool, spa and petanque area,
walking and biking excursions,
a garden tour, trips further afield
such as a drive to Akaroa, golf,
horse riding, or a helicopter tour
over Canterbury or Mt Cook.
But one that showcases the
heart of Otahuna is a cooking
class with Jimmy. Guests who
participate in the demonstration
can venture into the gardens to
help pick some of the produce to
be used, all part of the “potager
to plate” culinary experience at
the lodge.
While we sip on a glass of
bubbles, Jimmy explains the
key ingredients and techniques
required for each dish. We make
a homemade chilli sauce for a
grilled scallop, globe artichokes
braised in herb oil, and beef
cheek tortellini, all of which
we will consume as part of our
canapes and main course.
As the chilli sauce heats over
the stove, the intoxicating fragrance
of freshly torn kaffir lime
leaves wafts through the kitchen.
Bright red chillies and handfuls
of coriander are pops of colour
in the pot, before darkening
as they caramelise. We try our
hand at pasta making and Jimmy
teaches us how to fold the perfect
tortellino. The best part, of
course, is when we’re lead to the
drawing room, seated in front of
the fire with a top up of bubbles,
and Jimmy presents each canape,
exquisitely presented and a pleasure
on the taste buds.
A recent offering as a result
of the impacts on tourism from
Covid-19 is the chance to enjoy
an evening meal at Otahuna,
without an overnight stay. Previously,
only staying guests have
been allowed on the property.
Our four-course dinner follows
the canapes in the turret,
and once the last drop of wine is
finished in front of the fire, we
head upstairs for a cuppa.
The turndown service at
Otahuna includes being brought
a carafe of chilled water, a fluffy
sheepskin rug at my bedside,
a treats jar consisting of three
pieces of rich, fudgy chocolate
brownie that gets restocked daily,
and a “bedtime story” – a piece
of paper printed with a different
story each night about the history
of the house, further helping
bring the estate to life.
In the morning, chef Nicky
brings us a freshly baked scone
to our rooms and hostess Eli
makes us a flat white, which we
enjoy on my balcony. Breakfast is
a much more casual affair downstairs
than the evening meals but
just as extensive, starting with
freshly squeezed carrot, ginger
and orange juice, fruit, yoghurt
and berry compote, homemade
muesli, preserves and a selection
of breads – and that’s all before
the cooked breakfast. There is no
menu but the morning chef will
prepare anything you like, from
simple eggs on toast to cheesy
omelettes bursting with whatever
ingredients you choose, to eggs
Benedict with smoked salmon or
bacon.
A convenient segue is that
Otahuna has four pigs. Jimmy
even cures his own meats, including
prosciutto. We get to see
the pig pen during a tour of the
gardens with Miles.
The surrounding grounds have
been recognised by the New Zealand
Gardens Trust as “A Garden
of National Significance”.
It was completely overgrown
when Miles and Hall took
possession of the property, but
to see the beautifully manicured
low box hedges and pathways
of the windmill-shaped Dutch
garden now, reveals just how
much work they have poured
into restoring the property, with
the help of head gardener Steve
Marcham.
We wander through the pear
and apple trees, through the
potager garden, underneath
grape and kiwifruit vines, past
the cutting garden, the old horse

In the afternoon, I head to the
woodland massage studio, a simple
warm little wooden enclave
overlooking nothing but trees
and a view out to the Port Hills.
The massage therapist, Maria,
gives me a full body massage in
what is the closest thing to magic
that I have ever experienced.
Plagued with an ongoing hip
injury, the days following my

I’ve been in months.

When it comes to the final

round in front of the house. I
have to force myself down the
stairs, not wanting to leave
this extravagant enclave. The

I’m out of sight, showcasing how

• By Susan Sandys
RAKAIA RIVER salmon anglers
are revelling in a season they say
is the best in a decade.
“It’s one out of the box so far,”
Simon McMillan of Leeston
(pictured) said.
He is leading the Southbridge
Hotel salmon fishing competition,
having weighed in a 8.95kg fish on
January 6.
Hotel owner/
operator Harry
Singh said it was
the biggest fish
entered in the
competition since
1997. The smallest
so far this season
was 5.65kg, which
would have been
considered a
good-sized fish in
previous seasons.

Local development to
benefit Selwyn District
Advertisement LE25230
Locals servicing locals is the theme
of the latest addition to the Rolleston
business community with the recent
opening of Stihl Shop Rolleston.
Local owners Stephen Bain and Simon Moore,
said the continued growth of Rolleston
reflected their confidence in the district with
the population expected to grow by up to
40% in the next ten years.
“We are both local residents as we have
lived in the Selwyn District for nearly
twenty years and our families attended local
schools. Both our families are community
focussed and we are excited to be able to
open a Stihl Shop to cater for Selwyn District
locals” Stephen said.
The new format outdoor power equipment
store at 40 Hoskyns Road, Rolleston is
perfectly positioned between the wellestablished
Izone and the expanding iPort
development on the west side of Rolleston
Township.
The Rolleston Stihl Shop is fully equipped
and offers a full range of local and
international outdoor power equipment
brands including Stihl, Masport, Cub Cadet,
Honda, Rover and Hansa.
The store development is led and managed
by Kent Sole and Kris Montgomery, who
are both experienced Stihl trained experts
with a passion for and understanding of the
products they sell and service.
“We are rapt to have Kent on board during
the stage one phase of the development as he

is a really experienced operator, completely
understands our customer base and is excited
about being part of a new store operation”
Stephen added.
With stage one now open, the co-owners
are focused on a stage two building which
will be a modern, large, specialised Stihl Shop
on the land next to the current store which
will serve the district well into the future
with an aim is to have this operational within
the next 18 months.
Bain said they were really pleased to offer
a full-service workshop which can service,
maintain and repair most brands of outdoor
power equipment providing local residents
more convenience and choice.
“We are fortunate to secure the services of
our service manager Kris Montgomery, a fully
qualified motor mechanic, and a ‘Platinum

ensure customers get the best advice and

“Kris and his wife have a young family
and are committed to their local Southbridge
community serving on the volunteer fire
brigade and many other activities. In his
spare time he uses Stihl equipment to cut
firewood” he smiled.
Owner Simon Moore’s career commenced
in the NZ Police where he rapidly
progressed to a being a Detective Sergeant
and for the last 20 years he has been dedicated
to serving NZ businesses and migrants,
offering specialised immigration advice.
He is Justice of the Peace and is actively
involved in the governance and technical
aspects of swimming in the region.
Stephen’s career commenced in FMCG
sales, being on the road for major suppliers
such as Kraft Foods and Unilever. Until
recently, he was the managing director
and joint shareholder of a specialised steel
fabrication business.

Buying from the people who actually use the
gear is what buying from Stihl is all about
according to sales manager Kent Sole.
Our main point for difference is that it is
great gear and we have a wide range to suit
different properties and budgets
“It is high quality, fit-for purpose equipment
which we offer at affordable prices for all
customers - residential, and commercial.
“All our products are assembled and ready
to use - they are fuelled, oiled and you get
professional advice on operating the tools as
well as any accessories or safety gear needed”
and we have comprehensive warranties.
Stihl New Zealand Managing Director
Jochen Speer, said it is exciting to be opening
a new store in Canterbury.
“It is people’s love of their land which is
underpinning the growth nationally. The
outdoor power equipment market has grown
substantially in the last two years with
lightweight battery tools proving to be the
most popular product category” he said.
“We have a great team in Rolleston and
we want people to know we are here to help”
he added.

THE HĀPAI access card,
designed to improve access
for people with disabilities,
officially launched across all
district council facilities at
a special ceremony, held at
the Selwyn Sport Centre, last
week.
The card enables people with
disabilities to communicate
discreetly with council staff
about the barriers they face
interacting with businesses
and retailers.
Based on a similar system
used in the UK, the icons
on each card are unique to
the user and clearly signal
what support or assistance a
person might need. That way
participating businesses
can better support people
to access and use their
services.
District council group
manager community services
and facilities, Denise Kidd
said: “The card enables us to
reduce the barriers that can
make it challenging for people
to use our services. We want
to make sure everyone feels
welcome.”
More than 20 per cent of all
people live with some kind of
disability. The card will help
remove social barriers they
face by educating retailers and
businesses on how to better
serve their customers.
District council community
and economic development
adviser, Kirstin Dingwall-
Okoye said: “It’s been most
encouraging to see a fantastic

Campaign to keep vehicles
off footpaths
Think before you park – that’s the message in a new campaign to
stop people parking on footpaths and berms across Selwyn.
Council departments are working together to make our footpaths
safer, and tackle the ongoing problem of vehicles illegally
obstructing footpaths and parking on them.
TE ARA ĀTEA WINS
NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR
CULTURAL CONTRIBUTION
Te Ara Ātea – Selwyn’s newest arts, culture, learning and community space – has taken out the
Creative New Zealand Award for Cultural Wellbeing at the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ)
Excellence Awards.
It’s the second major award for the Rolleston facility, after winning a regional architecture prize
earlier this month.
Te Ara Ātea, opened last December, is the manawa of Rolleston’s town centre. It has become a
vibrant cultural facility, developed in partnership with Te Taumutu Rūnanga, blending cultural
stories through its public collections, public spaces and exhibitions.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the LGNZ award shows Selwyn is continuing to lead the way and be
recognised as a national leader. “It’s exciting to know this is just the beginning of all the good things
still to come for the community and the award belongs as much to mana whenua as it does the
council,” he says.
Puamiria Parata-Goodall, the Council’s Pou Ahurea, says the award is a deserved acknowledgement
of the value true partnership can bring. “Together, we pushed out beyond the horizon and created a
vibrant facility for our community, based on a shared understanding, history and identity,” she says.
Selwyn was also a finalist in two other categories at the LGNZ awards.
Selwyn Works: New Employment Approaches to Drive Economic Growth, focused on giving local
young people work experience and the opportunity to discover and explore local government job
opportunities. It received a highly commended in the Award for Economic Wellbeing. Selwyn was
also a finalist in the Social Wellbeing Award for Faces of Selwyn – a project that encourages people
who have settled in Selwyn to share their journey and celebrate what they have in common.
Te Ara Ātea also recently won the Public Architecture prize at this year’s Canterbury Architecture
Awards. The building, designed by Warren and Mahoney Architects, was described by the judges
as a warm and highly significant cultural space.

Lee-Anne Savea, General Manager, Youth Pathways.
The safety of pedestrians is paramount, says Regulatory Manager
Susan Atherton. “Footpaths should be unobstructed and pedestrians
using them should not have to walk around vehicles and onto
roads – it really is dangerous. We’d prefer not to issue any parking
infringements, but if a safety issue is identified, we will be handing
out tickets.”
Illegal parking has also become a significant problem according
to School Road Safety Coordinator, Stephanie Hautler. “We
have noticed over the last couple of years parking on footpaths
is happening more and more. It’s a huge concern for vulnerable
pedestrians, especially school children who can panic and make a
bad decision when their usual route is blocked”.
The Council’s resource consent and building teams are also working
with builders and developers, providing information on safe parking.
Information is being included when a resource consent is issued,
advising developers to plan their operations and make sure the
footpath is not being used as part of their worksite.
With booming development across the district on smaller section
sizes, builders and contractors are encouraged to keep vehicles
and trailers on site, and check that temporary fencing feet do not
overhang on the footpath. It’s also helpful to ensure deliveries are
booked so they don’t happen when kids are heading to and
from school.
Parking with two wheels up on the footpath is discouraged as this
creates a hazard for pedestrians.
Large vehicles and delivery trucks also cause damage to asphalt
surfaces and utility service covers. Footpaths should last up to 20
years, but are not designed to take heavy traffic – and their lifespan
is significantly shortened when vehicles constantly drive on and
over them.
If you see unsafe or illegal parking anywhere in Selwyn, contact the
Council on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or use the Snap Send
Solve app.
THINK before you PARK
Scholarships support Selwyn students into study
Tertiary Scholarship applications for 2023 are now open for secondary students in Selwyn – and this
year applicants can include a video submission.
Keep footpaths clear
Each year the Council awards scholarships to year 12 or 13 students studying in the district, with
funding going towards further education for these rangitahi at a tertiary institute – often helping to
pave the way for their future.
Students are encouraged to apply for the scholarship if they have achieved academic, sporting, cultural
or art successes at school, in clubs or organisations, and if they have overcome any hardships
or barriers.
Last year, five tertiary scholarships were awarded to
young people at Darfield High School, Lincoln High
School, Rolleston College and
Ellesmere College.
Scholarship recipient and former Lincoln High School
student, Sandra de Koning says she was grateful for
the scholarship, which she put towards textbooks
for her studies in Neuroscience at the University of
Otago, and halls of residence accommodation.
“It was a very nice surprise, and I was extremely
grateful and excited. I did not expect it at all, as the
other students were very talented and all deserving
of the scholarship. It was a lovely reward after a very
stressful last year of high school.”
Sandra only recently became a New Zealand resident, meaning she could not qualify for a student loan.
“I worked very hard at high school, and also have been doing extracurricular activities both at school
and in the community and I guess the hard work paid off.”
Applications for the scholarships close on 30 September 2022.

Prebbleton’s Kerry Gray strides out.
Waihora’s Myles Hamilton pushes past Tim Murgatroyd.
Prebbleton to face Darfield in final
• By Tatiana Gibbs
A STAMPEDE of blue
Prebbleton supporters flooded
Rhodes Park at Tai Tapu after a
last gasp penalty goal propelled
their side into the Ellesmere
division one club rugby final.
First five-eighths Ted Coleman
was the toast of Prebbleton when
he landed a 35m penalty kick
from the sideline over the post
right on full-time to take a 28-27
victory over Waihora.
Prebbleton will now meet unbeaten
Darfield in the finals day
at Darfield after they beat Coleman
Shield holders Southbridge
36-27 in the other semi.
The Prebbleton Waihora
match swung back and forth.
Waihora didn’t help itself with
three yellow cards.
Ross Soper, Waihora’s head
coach, said his side would be
hurting.
“Our discipline let us down.
Three yellow cards and multiple
penalties in the wrong places just
let them in the game, and to kick
a penalty right on full time, it’s
pretty heart-breaking.” he said.
Prebbleton’s head coach, Dave
Kettles, said the hard-fought
match “could have gone either
way”.
“There was nothing in it, we
just got the break at the end and
Ted did what Ted does,” Kettles
said.
Trailing 25-27, Coleman said
he was thinking just one thing
when he prepared to take the
match winning kick: “Don’t
miss, because I’d hate to see the
boys’ faces.
“The tee boy ran it out pretty
slow so I could keep my cool a
little bit, took some deep breaths
and hoped it went over”.
Waihora looked to have
secured the win, when just three
minutes earlier and trailing
24-25 Myles Hamilton kicked a
penalty goal to take the lead.
He had stepped into the goal
kicking duties after usual kicker
Brett Gillan, was yellow carded
for a dangerous tackle and spent
the final 10 minutes of the game
on the sideline.
Kettles said the drama-filled
affair was a “fantastic, physical
hard game”.
“Their first-five kicked that

beautiful kick to get their nose
out in front, and we were just
lucky to have the last bite at it.
I said to (Hamilton) after the
game it was outstanding–just a
clutch kick so good on him.”
Waihora held a slim 14-13 lead
after the first half, scoring two
converted tries to Prebbleton’s
one, which was topped up by
two penalties. Waihora’s opening
try in the third minute saw lock
Heiko van Zwieten score his first
of two – making a clean break
away from Prebbleton’s defence.
But Prebbleton’s lineout piece
was well-drilled and ignited their
first converted try in the 32ndminute
by fullback Tim Hudsen
keeping them in the attack.
Waihora closed out halftime
with a strong push over scrum
try dotted down by number eight
Ryan Koning, the result of a winning
the pack battle on a third
scrum attempt under the post.
Van Zwieten opened the second
half by claiming his second
converted try in similar dramatic
fashion, making a clean
intercept and charging a massive
40m straight down the field to
score under the post.
But Prebbleton capitalised
on Waihora losing second
five-eighths Matt Kottier and
fullback Adam Gualter to yellow
cards within six minutes of
each other, and captain Cam

defenders in the 56th minute. It
moved his team just one point
behind after the converted kick
20-21.
The match’s lead continued to
chop and change, and Waihora
pushed their margin out slightly
20-24 by kicking another penalty
in the 65th-minute. But Prebbleton’s
number eight Kerry Gray
scored the needed five points
to jump themselves back out in
front 25-24, before the thrilling
penalty kick-offs in the final
minutes by Hamilton and Coleman
sealed the game.
Kettles said his side now had
a chance of “redemption” after
losing last year’s final to Darfield.

National championship win for Prebbleton racer
ZACH TUCKER (left) is top of
his class again, thriving in his
favourite learning experience
outside the classroom.
The Prebbleton-based 11-yearold
kart racer has claimed his first
national schools championship
title in Invercargill, winning the
Vortex Mini ROK competition at
Otatara.
Representing Medbury School,
Tucker recorded a convincing
victory in the mixed grid format
which saw drivers receive a random
spot before each race.
He drew ninth, second, fifth
and eighth and won every race,
meaning he had the luxury of
sitting out the fifth and final heat
on July 16.
“It was really cool to win as I
came second in 2019 and 2021,”
said Tucker, who was also the
recipient of the championships’
Bruce McLaren award.
Tucker, who started karting as
a six-year-old, was selected to represent
New Zealand at the annual
ROK Cup Superfinal in Italy in
October after defending his Vortex
Mini ROK title in Wellington
last month.
His preparations for that challenge
ramps up across the Tasman
when he seeks his first Australian
crown at the City of Melbourne
Titles from August 5-7. He preps
for that assignment at a Melbourne
club day on Sunday.
Tucker was not the only Canterbury
racer to top the podium with
Scott McLaren (Rolleston College)
also able to skip his final race in
the 125cc Rotax Max Light category
and still win after recording
three wins and a third.
Iver Spence (The Cathedral
Grammar School), Henry Fisher
(Halswell School) and Chris
White (Christchurch Boys’ High
School) were third in the Cadet
ROK, Vortex Mini ROK and
125cc Rotax Max Junior class
respectively.

Sarah O’Reilly goes back to back in
‘special’ memorial race at Addington
• By Jonny Turner
THE ENORMITY of
consecutive victories in the
Darren De Filippi Memorial was
not lost on Sarah O’Reilly when
she took out the time-honoured
race at Addington on Friday
night.
O’Reilly backed up her win in
the feature event with Fighting
Fire in 2021 by driving the Brent
Borcoskie trained The Bloss to
win the 2022 edition.
Though she had experienced
it before, the feeling of winning
the race honouring a talented
horseman, which is highly
respected and sought after each
season by junior drivers, was not
lost on O’Reilly.
“It is just amazing to win it
again, it means a lot. It is even
special just to drive in this race,”
she said.
Though The Bloss had plenty
of support with punters O’Reilly
admitted she didn’t go onto the
track expecting to take out the
Darren De Filippi Memorial
again.
“I didn’t really expect it this
year, but the horse was so good.
“We got away quickly like I
hoped and just a perfect run.
“It is always great just to be in
this race and to win it is just so
good.”
De Filippi, 19, was tragically
killed in a car crash on the way
home from a race meeting in
1995.
The Bloss came into Friday
night’s race not having started
since the middle of May.
Trainer Brent Borcoskie
had the mare primed for a big
performance in spite of her lack
of recent racing.
“It was really good, I knew
Darren when he was a young
fellow and it is always a special
race,” Borcoskie said.
“Bloss has been in this race at
least a couple of times and it was
good to get the win.”
O’Reilly had The Bloss in front
by the first bend in the 27th
running of the Darren De Filippi
Memorial.
The junior driver then found
a perfect trip in the trail for the
mare, behind noted front-runner
Prince Teka.
The Bloss and O’Reilly scored
by half a length over Madeleine
Stowe and Crystal Hackett with
King Of Love and Ben Hope
third.
The feature pace at Addington
on Friday night was dominated
by Darren De Filippi’s employer
during his harness racing career,
Robert Dunn.
Dunn and training partner
and daughter-in-law Jenna
produced the trifecta in
race 8 with Smiffy’s Terror
winning over Heisenberg and

150 years caring
for animals
The first New Zealand Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals
(SPCA) was formed in Canterbury in
1872. The animal welfare charity is one of
the oldest charities in New Zealand. The
first national law protecting animals in
New Zealand was passed in 1878.

Since those early days the work of
the SPCA has expanded to include
education to help prevent animal abuse
before it happens. Their aim is to create
a community where all animals are
treated with compassion and respect.
The organisation currently has 33 SPCA
centres in towns and cities from the top
of the North Island to the bottom of New
Zealand in Southland.
Last year, SPCA inspectors attended
over 13,700 call-outs to rescue animals at
risk throughout the country. If you have
concerns about the welfare of an animal,
call your local SPCA or head online to
find out how to report animal abuse at

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Companion planting
has many benefits
MOST GARDENERS have
heard of the benefits of
companion planting, but many
are confused about just what
companion planting means and
how its principles can be applied
in the garden.
Companion planting involves
grouping garden plants together
so they help each other to grow
better.
Planting a mixture of flowers
and herbs among vegies and fruit
trees will encourage a healthy
diversity of living creatures to
move into the garden.
Insect-attracting plants that
grow readily from seed include
herbs like thyme, sage, coriander,
chives and mint, and flowers
such as cosmos, calendula, lavender,
echinacea and marigold.
Phacelia is very successful at
attracting useful garden insects
such as bees (valuable pollinators)
and hoverflies (aphid
predators). Phacelia’s appealing
lavender-blue flowers produce
copious quantities of pollen and
nectar that make them irresistible
to many insects.
Masking plants emit an odour
that disguises the smell of desirable
plants and confuses the insect
pests that might otherwise attack
BUMPER CROP: Pumpkin and corn are a combination
that grows well together.
them. A good example of this is
planting chives, onions or garlic
near roses to deter thrips, aphids
and other pests.
Closely related to the masking
plants are the decoy plants
that attract pests to themselves
and away from their neighbours.
Nasturtium is one of the best
known decoy plants.
Nasturtiums act like magnets,
pulling pests away from other
plants. Plants like this are sometimes
called sacrificial or martyr
plants because they’re prepared
to suffer in order to protect their
companions.
Other plants improve conditions
for their neighbours. The
best-known of these are the peas,
beans and other members of
the legume family that have the
ability to capture nitrogen from
the atmosphere. Plants growing
in close proximity to peas and
beans benefit from the nitrogen
(the major plant nutrient) that
legumes have added to the soil.
Working out which plants
grow well together is often a matter
of individual trial and error.
Some favourite combinations
are pumpin and corn, beans
and radish; cabbages and beans,
celery and onions; beetroot and
broccoli and lettuce and onions.

WHAT EXACTLY is a weed?
Definitions abound, but a weed
is generally considered to be a
plant that’s growing where it isn’t
wanted. And, as winter draws
near to an end, it often seems that
the weeds are about to take over
the entire garden.
Onehunga weed, which usually
causes problems in lawns, is one
of the weeds you’ll find starting to
develop at this time of year. Onehunga
weed is a soft, ferny-leafed
plant that only reveals the nasty
side of its nature when it produces
its sharply-barbed seeds. These
can make walking on the lawn in
bare feet an utter misery.
You can remove onehunga
weed with what’s called a selective
weedkiller but, remember, if the
weed has already formed its spiky
seeds, it’s sure to re-appear next
year. Make a note to begin control
earlier next season.
Selective herbicides cleverly
remove the non-grass weeds from
the lawn, without damaging
the grass. However, it’s vitally
important to read the label and
carefully follow the instructions.
Too-heavy applications will burn
the grass.
Many other lawn weeds such
TIDY: Be sure to get the
right type of weed killer for
your lawn and garden.
as clover, dandelions, thistles and
capeweed – can also be removed
with a selective weedkiller.
Weeds in garden beds can
be removed using a glyphosate
herbicide. Glyphosate is nonselective,
which means it will kill
any plant material it contacts.
This, obviously, means it must
be applied with great care.
Fortunately, though, it doesn’t
leave residues in the soil.

rose Pruning
Winter gardening certainly slows down a bit, but
now is the perfect time to get busy with rose
pruning and mulching. Roses are forgiving easy to
grow plants that enjoy and appreciate an annual
prune. The aim of rose pruning is to maintain a
good even shape and to keep the rose bushes
healthy and at a manageable size. Here are some
of the benefits of pruning:
• Reduces and maintains the size of the plant
and keeps those thorny branches contained
and away from paths and walkways
• Allows more sunlight and air circulation into
the centre of the plant, this promotes vigour
(more flowers) and improves resistance to
attack from pests and disease.
Dry FirewooD
Stock up ready for winter with our dry
pine firewood. Available for pickup and
delivery. $142.50 per cubic metre
Quick Guide
Remove about a third of the plant each
year aiming to open the centre of the
plant up. Cut out any weak or old stems.
Fresh new growth will appear in the
spring.
Pruning is best done on a clear dry
day. Make sure you use sharp loppers
or secateurs, so you get a clean cut.
Remove all the cut branches and rake
away any leaves that
are left behind. Once
done, complete the
task by spraying with
a winter clean up
spray to kill any over
wintering bugs and
diseases. Kiwicare
Copper Fungicide is
great for this.
After pruning, apply a thick layer of
Intelligro mulch, this will keep the area
weed free, protect the soil and plant’s
root system, and complete a neat and
tidy look.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
It’s a wrap!
Young local business owner Jackson Lovelady is the first
to admit he wasn’t a fan of school. Being highly dyslexic
created many challenges for his learning, with him leaving
school in Year 11. However, overcoming barriers and using
skills and knowledge from his upbringing has taken his
interest in design and turned it into a successful signwriting
career. Jackson says, “Signwriting was not on my radar.”
Jackson’s late father owned a race car building company,
so his involvement in the sport began from a young age. At
15 years old, he started racing saloons at Speedway all over
New Zealand. His parents supported his decision to leave
school, and he began designing graphics initially for the
family business, sent them off for printing, and then applied
the graphic.
Producing quality work meant attention to detail for the
best outcome, and he says, “A half job wouldn’t do; it had
to be correct.” Fortunately, a sponsor saw his potential and
purchased a signage cutter for him to use from home.
While working part-time at a local
business, he pursued his ideas and began
his signwriting career. Surrounded by
successful business mentors, he aspired
to have his own business. He recalls
thinking, “I don’t have a University
education; I have myself, my skills and
the people I know.” With support from
others and a colleague, he started “Full
Spectrum Signs” at 18 years of age before
eventually taking over full ownership 18
months later.
Now 24 years old, he says that he
was lucky to start young as he had few
commitments and was more prepared to
take risks financially.
“It was entertaining when I would turn
up to a job site, and everybody would
ask where the boss was,” says Jackson.
Now, as an employer, he has more
responsibility and less work-life balance,
and confirms, “It’s on you, and you’ve
got to make it work.”
Signwriting includes the art and skill of vinyl
wrapping. The vinyl film is created from Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) blended with other additives, pigments
and UV absorbers; it may last five to seven years in New
Zealand. The vinyl has self-adhesive backing meaning
any bodywork can have the vinyl applied. Vinyl
wrapping is not permanent, and a car can be wrapped
in any chosen colour or with customised graphics.
Additionally, a business may want to use their vehicle as
a mobile billboard or perhaps to protect and keep the
value of fleet cars.
Some projects Jackson has wrapped include Teslas, old
mustangs, marathon jetboats, speedway or track race
cars, trucks, and even silos.

Avoid winter driving complacency
We’re halfway through winter, but now is not the
time to become complacent with your driving.
Even with modern safety features, including
traction control, electronic stability control,
collision warning and automatic braking, you,
the driver, are responsible for ensuring your car is
operated safely and at its best. So, let’s all help to
keep driving safe in Selwyn.
• At this time of year, it’s not unusual to get a
good layer of frost on your car’s windscreen if it’s
not covered. Make time to thoroughly remove the
ice and ensure that any condensation inside the car
is wiped away. It’s best to use a cloth as grease from
your hands can impair your vision, and regularly
wipe clean with water and detergent or a window
cleaning product. Also, check your wiper blades
and replace them if worn or ineffective.
• While the sun is lovely, it can be dangerous
when driving, so take extra care when passing
through intersections and use car sun visors
correctly, including rotating them to the driver’s
side window if required.
• Regularly check your tyre tread. The legal
minimum limit is 1.5mm, but if your tyres slip
on wet surfaces, it may be time to replace them.
• Another safety check should include
headlights. Foggy headlights are ineffective, and
plenty of easy and low-cost remedies exist to fix
this problem. Using headlights on dark, wet days
is safest; if you use the high beam at any time,
remember to dip your lights for oncoming traffic.
• Give yourself plenty of time to react to
situations, especially in unfavourable weather
and keep a greater following distance. Avoid
sudden braking, slow down well before reaching
corners, and when approaching Give Way and
Stop signs.
• Ice, especially black ice on roads, is never

a good thing, as you often don’t realise it’s there
until you drive on it. A tell-tale glint on the road
or vehicles unexpectedly skidding may be the
only notice you get. Often you may encounter it
on quieter, shaded stretches of road, bridges or
tunnels. If you hit a patch of black ice, the best
advice is, “Don’t panic and don’t hit the brakes!”
Instead, keep your driving steady and maintain
your speed.
• If you are likely to encounter snow or significant
ice on your trip, keep a set of snow chains handy
and know how to fit and use them correctly.
• If possible, have a vehicle emergency kit stowed
in case of a breakdown on the side of the road. In
dim conditions, a reflective warning triangle and a
fluro vest could be lifesavers, along with turning on
your hazard lights.
As always, follow the road rules, keep to the
correct speed for the conditions, and leave your
phone alone. You can do many straightforward
things to make driving less hazardous this winter
and not add to our appalling national statistics for
road accidents.

Ioniq 5 EV a step into the future
THE FUTURE is here.
Hyundai has launched the
Ioniq 5 in New Zealand. If you
are thinking from the outset that
it is just another electric sport
utility vehicle then you have
better think again. It is a car that
is almost out of this world.
Everyone who talked about the
Ioniq 5 when it was in my care
talked of space age and futuristic
– and it is, it looks like something
out of Star Trek, it’s a car that I
dreamed of as a child, the way I
thought cars would look in the
21st–century.
It’s not just the way the mattepainted,
nature-inspired exterior
is styled either, the interior is
nothing like I’ve seen before in
what would be deemed a mass
produced car, the bold, spacious
design is highlighted in the
evaluation car’s case by light grey
leather.
What’s more, the Ioniq 5 is the
technology champion, it’s engineered
with practicality in mind,
it has range and it has speed, not
withstanding that it is still the
practical car we have come to
expect from the modern SUV.
How Hyundai has rolled all of
these aspects into one model to
satisfy those who want an electric
vehicle kind of amazes me, but it’s
here with all those tempting elements
that will lure many buyers.
The Ioniq 5 arrives in a complicated
array of models – six in total.
The entry-level car with twowheel-drive
and a 58kWh battery
pack lists at $79,990. It is the only
model in the range that qualifies
for the Government’s $8625 clean
car discount. The rest of the range
carry a 72.6kWh battery pack
and arrive in two or four-wheeldrive
form. The test car was the
range-topping 4WD Limited at
$114,990. If you wanted to save
$3k you could dispense with the
roof-top solar panels and have
a vision roof instead. The solar
panels are there to help charge
the battery pack and power the
heating and air conditioning.
Hyundai claims a driving
range of well over 400km for the
Ioniq 5 with the high capacity
battery pack, of course there are
many factors which govern that,
but I drove the evaluation car
quite sprightly and it didn’t lower
the capacity at any great rate.
Therein lies another surprise,
the Ioniq 5 has ultra fast charging,
you can boost the batteries
to 80 per cent from 10 per cent
in 18min, if you can hook into an
appropriate charge port, a 5min
boost will give you 100km of
range.
The evaluation car came only
with a three-pin domestic charge
cable and it’s fair to say I was a
little bit surprised to see it had an
estimated full charge time of 41

cues are carried through to the interior.

hours when I plugged it in from
empty. But, in effect, an overnight
charge will easily take care of that
daily commute to the Canterbury
townships.
I mentioned the Ioniq is fast,
in Limited form it will lunge
to 100km/h from a standstill
in 5.2sec and will fly through a
highway overtake in 4sec (80-
120km/h). Hyundai also claim a
top speed of 185km/h.
The Ioniq 5’s four-wheel-drive
system comes through two
electric motors – front and rear
obviously. In terms of power output
the combined total is listed at
225kW, but the most interesting
figures are those of combined
torque – 605Nm in total – those
outputs available instantly and
everywhere in the speed band, it
is a quick car and one that feels
exciting to drive.
First, though, you need to familiarise
yourself with the controls,
there’s a wealth of technology in
the car and the layout is like nothing
you’ve seen anywhere before.
The display graphics dominate
the interior and the functions are
deep, the system is reasonably
intuitive, but you’ll need time to
remember the drive lever (gearshift)
is on the right hand side of
the steering column.
Other than that, the Ioniq 5
• Price – Hyundai Ioniq 5
Limited, $114,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4635mm; width, 1890mm;
height, 1605mm
• Configuration – Electric
motors, four-wheeldrive,
225kW, 605Nm,
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 5.2sec
drives much like the feel you
get in any EV, although there is
strong retardation through motor
braking that eases somewhat the
pressure you need to put on the
brake pedal. There are also individual
power preferences through
selecting the drive mode that best
suits your driving style.
I took the Ioniq 5 through to
Darfield and return, and drove
it vividly; of course, it is stunningly
quiet and swift, and covers
distance effortlessly. It rides on
huge 20in wheels and there’s a lot
of rubber on the road, as a consequence
there is a lot of steering
feed and good loading on the
steering wheel.
A couple of challenging corners
near Burnham were met with
dignity and accuracy. The weight
of the batteries is contained sandwiched
in the floorpan which
keeps the centre of gravity low,
and even though it is tall (1.6m)
the Ioniq 5 doesn’t move over the
suspension, body movement is
all but negated. A sporty driving
sensation is constantly on offer if
you are tackling a long open road
journey.
The Ioniq 5 is also a car that
will suit all driving styles and all
journeys. You can’t market any
car as an SUV unless it meets all
criteria, and I’m pleased to report
the Ioniq 5 covers the bases in
that respect. It also has much kit,
column space doesn’t allow for a
comprehensive detailing but to
say it wants for little in terms of
comfort, convenience and safety.
The Ioniq 5’s in-your-face
design is well matched through
its ability. There’s no doubt
Hyundai has put research and
development into the vehicle.
It’s a bold statement, but it also
reeks of functionality and will
certainly satisfy those who want
to be in the electric revolution
early.
Hyundai is also building on the
Ioniq 5 concept, there is a sedan
looming and a larger SUV in the
manufacturing process.
These are exciting times and
the Ioniq 5 is certainly one car to
be very excited about.

Notice for consultation on a proposed Enrolment Scheme for
St Thomas of Canterbury College
The Ministry of Education has identified that St Thomas of Canterbury College is likely to
continue to experience a situation where there is more demand for enrolments than
there are places available within the maximum roll and has given the school board notice
of this.
After engagement with the Board, we have developed a proposed enrolment scheme
amendment for St Thomas of Canterbury College under the Education and Training Act
2020. This amendment reflects recently redrawn parish boundaries.
As part of this process, we are consulting with the school’s community and with people
living in the area for which the school is a reasonably convenient school.
Students will be able to enrol as per the criteria listed in the proposed enrolment
scheme.
A copy of the proposed enrolment scheme is available at
https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/st-thomas-of-canterbury-enrolmentscheme-amendment/
If you have any feedback about the proposed enrolment scheme, please visit the
website, read the information and complete the survey before 26 August 2022.

What to ask a real estate agent
Selling a home is a big life decision, both
financially and emotionally. The journey
can be a roller coaster, which is why
finding a licensed real estate agent you feel
comfortable with is so important.
“Remember, you’re looking for the
person who you’re going to trust to sell
what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their
success (or failure) will have a marked
impact on your new life plan,” says the
Real Estate Authority (REA).
New Zealand has about 15,000 real
estate agents who help people navigate
big-deal transactions every day.
“The trick is to find the one that will be
best for your situation”.
If you’re going to get the best out of your
real estate agent – and they’re going to get
the best price and conditions for your
property – then you need
to put the work in before
you sign with anyone. That
means basing your decision
on more than gut feel or the
fact that their office was easy
to park outside.
You need someone who
understands what it takes
to sell a property like yours
and a proven track record to
show for it. You also need
to feel comfortable with
them personally – if
you don’t find them
pleasant to deal
with then buyers
may not enjoy
the experience either.
If you’re not sure how to get the ball
rolling, ask the agent the following
questions:
- What do you know about my
neighbourhood? How are sales in this area
and who is buying?
- Do you work independently or with
other agents?
- What kind of advertising or marketing
do you use – and which ones will work for
my property? What extra marketing costs
will I have to pay?
- What are your commission rates? Are
you open to negotiation?
- Do you have testimonials or references
from people whose properties you have
sold in the last three months?
- What do you recommend I do to
prepare my home for sale?
- Why should I hire you?
Asking these questions helps you
form a picture of the agent’s experience,
knowledge and how they structure their
business.
These days you’d expect an agent’s
marketing plan to have an online focus
that includes major property websites and
social media. Find out what the marketing
plan will cost and ask them to explain
their rationale – you’re the one paying for
this service, after all.
Remember that you can negotiate on
the marketing costs and commission –
don’t be afraid to ask the agents if they
are interested in an incentive-based
commission, where they will earn more
commission if they sell your property
above a certain price.
Once you’ve found the agent you think
you’d like to work with, check them out
on the Real Estate Authority’s (REA)
online public register, which will tell you
if the agent holds a current licence. This is
important because it’s illegal to carry out
real estate agency work without a licence
and if you deal with an unlicensed person
the REA will be unable to help you if
things go wrong.
When you’ve decided on an agent, the
terms and conditions of your contract will
be set out in an agency agreement that
you both sign. This is a legal document,
so make sure you get advice from a lawyer
and that you understand your rights and
responsibilities.

Should I sell
my house
by myself?
Selling a property is easy, right? All
you need to do is stick a ‘for sale’ sign
out front, put a few photos online
and hold a couple of open homes.
Job done! Why wouldn’t you do it
yourself?
The fact that private sales made
up just 10 per cent of all residential
property sales in New Zealand might
be a clue that it’s not as simple and
straightforward as you might think.
Research by the industry membership
organisation Real Estate Institute of
New Zealand (REINZ) found that the
median price for properties sold by
real estate agents was 10.9 per cent
higher than private sales.
“Property transactions are big
financial deals and they can get
complicated very quickly,” says Real
Estate Authority.
“Selling a home, which is likely to
be your biggest asset as well as being a
physical and emotional roof over your
head, is not like selling a used car or
flogging your unwanted Christmas
presents on TradeMe.”
If you decide to sell your property
privately, you will absolutely save on
the commission that you’d otherwise
pay a real estate agent”.
“Your target is to get at least close
to what an agent would get for your
house. You pay commission to an
agent for them to get the best price
and that extra value is what they will
tell you pays your commission for
you, along with less hassle on the DIY
front.”
You know your property better than
anyone, so you’re in a good position to
‘sell’ its features. You’ll have complete
control over the process because you’ll
be dealing directly with potential
buyers. You get to decide every step
of the process, including choosing the
method of sale and setting the price.
However, with complete power
comes complete responsibility.
“When you’re selling a property,
you have a legal obligation to share
all the relevant information about it,
such as any issues with the boundary
or title, any unconsented building
work or alterations, any known
weathertightness issues and whether
there are any proposed developments
that could have an impact on a buyer’s
access, views or enjoyment.
“If you fail to do this, you could
be in breach of your agreement with
the buyer. This could put the sale in
jeopardy, or the buyer could seek
compensation and take you to court.”
Would-be private sellers will need
sharp marketing and negotiation skills,
as well as the ability to be objective.
“What you think of the property and
what it’s worth won’t necessarily be
shared by potential buyers”.
“It’s easy to sell a property when
there are a few houses for sale and
many buyers, but the market isn’t as
buoyant now in parts of the country as
it was a year ago. Your expectations of
price and ease of sale are aligned with
market conditions. These are things
that real estate agents think about day
in and day out.”
If you’re still keen to DIY it, make
sure you’ve got some good advice from
the experts.
“It can be very useful to get an
independent assessment of what your
property is worth, so you can work out
the price you’ll be willing to accept”.
“You can research online (for free)
or pay for a registered valuation. We
strongly recommend that you use a
lawyer or conveyancer to handle all
the legal documentation, including
the sale and purchase agreement. You
may also want to consider help when
it comes to preparing the property
for viewings, whether that means
engaging a home staging company
who will make it look pretty, or a
trusted friend to run any open homes.”
Ultimately, there’s no reason why
you can’t sell your own property if
you think you’ve got the time, skills
and energy. You’ll need to be ready
to juggle a lot of things at once –
including marketing and negotiation
– on top of your usual responsibilities.
Whatever you do, make sure you go
into the process with your eyes open.

Winter Real Estate
Market Update
23
The colder weather may keep people at
home more and slow down many things,
and the Selwyn Real Estate market
may be no different. While changes
are nowhere as significant as those in
many other areas of New Zealand where
substantial price drops are happening,
the market has quietened, and sales
activity has slowed down.
Tony Quayle from Selwyn Property
Brokers confirmed that after prices
peaked at the end of last year and the
beginning of 2022, prices have now
been coming down a bit. However, he
says, “They are more like they were in
August and September of last year.”
He also advises the number of days on
the market is now around the 45-day
mark, which is a far cry from the quick
turnaround time of 32 days when the
market was at its peak.
With a loosening in the rules under
the Credit Contracts and Consumer
Finance Act (CCCFA), house buyers in
Selwyn now include people who may
have been previously excluded from
the fast-paced market, those subject
to finance, or who needed to do some
more due diligence. Tony states these
buyers are “having a more competitive
advantage than last year”. Although
there has been a recent rise in mortgage
interest rates, with rates still under 6%,
it does not seem to be notably impacting
those looking to buy a property as their
home.
Buying a house in the Selwyn area
is still seen as affordable and desirable
by buyers. Even when other regions
are showing steep declines in house
values, buyers are getting a good deal
for their money in Selwyn compared to
what they can buy in those regions. The
median house prices are strong, with
values around the low to mid $800 000
range. Many families continue to choose
Selwyn to live in, and the demand
remains for 3–4-bedroom houses.
Meanwhile, the lifestyle market is still
popular for those seeking open air and
space, and prices reflect the demand and
limited supply of lifestyle properties.
