Resilient, confident and attractive 

By ANNA SARGENT 

The townshipsand fields of North 

Canterbury hold asecret that might 

surprise the rest of the country, but for 

localsithas been obviousfor some time. 

Economically, North Canterburyis 

booming, and people are attracted to it for 

its lifestyle options, resilience and 

location. 

Confidence in the futureissoaring and 

peopleare flocking to workand live in the 

region. 

Enterprise North Canterbury’s April 

business opinionsurvey showedwhilethe 

national business confidence was 

plummeting 33 percent, North Canterbury 

was going againstthe trend with arise of 

4%. 

The March Infometricsreport for the 

Waimakariri District showed GDPgrowth 

of 10.5% was double the 5.2% for New 

Zealand, and consumer spending was up 

11% compared to 6.1% for New Zealand. 

Rangiora is the district’smain urban 

centre, and it has been described as 

having arock star economy by property 

company Colliers. 

Enterprise NorthCanterbury business 

support manager Miles Dalton saysafastgrowingpopulation 

and having business 

communities not so reliant on 

international tourism as otherparts of 

New Zealand, havemade abig difference. 

‘‘Primary industries continueto 

perform well,and that is abig part of our 

community. 

‘‘Ourbusinesses are more resilient. 

We’vebeen throughafew earthquakes 

now whichhas taught us many valuable 

lessons.’’ 

WaimakaririMayor Dan Gordon agrees 

thatthe present is bright, and the future 

looks even brighterfor his area. 

He says afantastic lifestyle means it is 

not surprisingmore and more peopleare 

wantingtomove to the area for lifestyle 

and business. 

Mr Gordon says another attraction is 

how quickly residents can access 

Christchurch andits international airport, 

thanks to the opening of the new 

Christchurch Northern Corridor and 

Western Belfast Bypass motorways. 

Growth can be seen right across 

Waimakariri District, which is expected to 

growby13,000 residents over the next 10 

years and to 100,000by2050. 

Meanwhile, Mr Gordon sayshouse 

values have gone up by about 30% in 

Rangiora,and the district is getting 

continual interest frombig and small 

businesses lookingtodevelopand operate 

there.These include national brandslike 

Rebel Sport. 

‘‘ Those national chainslook at our 

district and say we wanttobehere.’’ 

Developers are also rushingtobepart of 

the success story in North Canterbury. 

Hurunui District Council building and 

property manager Kerry Walshsays the 

numberofconsents for new homes in 

Hurunuihas jumped by 60% in the past 12 

months. 

Mr Walshsays Amberley, the district’s 

largesttown, is more popular than it ever 

has been, and says one possiblereason is 

the larger section sizes Hurunui can often 

offer.The Hurunui areaisadesirable 

area for alot of people.MrWalsh says 

being close to the Northern motorway has 

helpedpeople get into town easier.

Local Democracy Reporter 

North Canterbury’s building boom 

continues. 

The Waimakariri and Hurunui district 

councils are continuing to process high 

numbers of consents for new houses, as 

the housing boom shows no signs on 

letting up. 

In the six months to June 30, 435 

consents for new houses were issued in 

the Waimakariri district. 

While this is 12 percent down on the 

same period last year, 400plus consents 

was anormal year for Waimakariri 

before the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, 

Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson said. 

Last year 935 consents were issued for 

new houses and asimilar result was 

predicted for this year. 

‘‘It’s really booming. Why would you 

not want to live in Waimakariri?’’ Mr 

Atkinson said. 

‘‘When we set out rates for this year we 

put the range at around 900 consents and 

we are halfway at six months, so we are 

definitely on track.’’ 

Woodend led the way with 144 

consents, followed by Kaiapoi with 139 

and 86 consents in rural areas. 

There were 38 consents issued in 

Pegasus and just 25 in Rangiora. 

Mr Atkinson said the bulk of Kaiapoi’s 

growth was in the Silverstream subdivision, 

with the smaller sections and 

high density housing. 

While Rangiora’s consent numbers 

were down, it would pick up again soon 

with new developments in the pipeline. 

One proposed subdivision in 

Rangiora, Bellgrove, was recently fasttracked 

under the Covid19 Recovery 

Fasttrack Consenting Act 2020. 

The 63 hectare site is expected to open 

up soon for 209 sections in stage one and 

up to 1100 sections over five stages. 

People enjoy smaller communities -Mayor 

From Page 1 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Black says 

Amberley is experiencing exceptional 

residential growth, and has done so over 

the last few years. 

‘‘From what Ihear, people enjoy 

coming to an area where they still get to 

know their neighbours, they have that 

neighbourliness in asmaller community 

focus.’’ 

She says an attractive neighbourly feel 

comes from the district being arange of 

small villages based around arural 

economy. 

‘‘It creates anice balance with 

business.’’ 

Meanwhile, aplanned new retirement 

village in Amberley, Amberley Country 

Estate, is intended to cover 16ha and 

house 500 people in 250 villas.

Mayor Neville Atkinson says the region is 

‘‘booming’’.

The Waimakariri district’s population 

has already passed 66,000 and was on 

track to top 78,000 by 2031. 

Long term projections suggest 

Waimakariri could approach 100,000 by 

2048, with Rangiora expected to pass 

30,000. 

Kaiapoi is set to run out of room for 

expansion, but could continue to grow 

with ‘‘infill’’ and subdividing into 

smaller sections and more high density 

housing, Mr Atkinson said. 

‘‘That’s one of those issues we will 

face, whether people see it as agood 

developments and more proposed to 

come, which Mr Gordon says will 

encourage more businesses to come and 

existing ones to expand. 

The proposed Rangiora Industrial 

Park has 35 lots, and he says when 

developed this will lead to more jobs, 

more economic activity and agreater 

range of products and services for local 

residents. 

New developments and industrial 

parks mean potentially more sales for 

service industries such as Rangiora 

Bakery.

for 150 years and is now owned by Ron 

Van Til who says Rangiora is agreat

thing or not is adifferent story.’’ 

He said careful planning and working 

together with the Greater Christchurch 

partners was essential. 

‘‘We can’t rest on our laurels when 

planning for our future. 

‘‘We have to make sure our systems 

can handle the growth and that we can 

continue to keep up with climate 

change. 

‘‘And we need to remember everything 

flows to Kaiapoi so we’ve got to be 

smarter with the way we handle our 

water systems.’’ 

The Hurunui District Council issued 

194 consents for new houses in the year 

to June 30, up from 118 the previous year 

anincrease of 60%, building and 

property manager Kerry Walsh said. 

Amberley led the way with 100 

consents for new houses, followed by 

Hanmer Springs with 45 consents. 

Total consents issued in the last six 

months were 317 with abuilding value of 

$52 million, compared with 300 at a 

value of $42 million for the same period 

last year. 

The Kaikoura District Council has 

issued 73 building consents for the first 

six months of this year, after issuing 154 

building consents during the 2021 

calendar year. 

The council has also issued 50 

resource consents (such as subdivisions 

and land use), compared to 44 resource 

consents for the same period last year.

Mr Van Til says new subdivisions like

‘‘That’s going to drive awhole lot more

Funding boost for Kaikoura housing 


LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER 

Housing projects in Kaikoura are set to 

be fasttracked, thanks to a$7.8 million 

Government cash injection. 

Funding from Kainga Ora’s 

Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF) 

will fund infrastructure to support more 

than 400 new homes in Kaikoura, 

including housing for the elderly and 

those on low to medium incomes. 

Housing is planned across two 

different sites, including aproposed 

new subdivision in the town, Vicarage 

Views, and Ocean Ridge, south of 

Kaikoura. 

The project is one of seven around the 

country which secured Government 

funding announced by Housing Minister 

Dr Megan Woods on Thursday, July 21. 

Kaikoura Mayor Craig Mackle said the 

project will help to fill agap in modern, 

low to medium income housing and 

elderly housing units. 

‘‘The funding from the IAF is a 

potential game changer to help address 

this need within our housing stock both 

now and into the future.’’ 

It will support new roading, footpaths 

and cycle ways to connect the two subdivisions 

and the town. 

Mr Mackle said the council had been 

working closely with Ocean Ridge 

developer Garry Robertson on the 

proposed 83 home Vicarage Views subdivision 

on the former North Canterbury 

Transport Infrastructure Recovery 

Alliance (NCTIR) village site, near 

Ludstone Road. 

It is subject to aresource consent, 

while aplan change will be needed for a 

proposed Ocean Ridge expansion. 

The infrastructure upgrades are 

expected to begin over the next 12 

months, with the first IAFenabled 

houses planned to be built next year. 

Stage one comprised 43 modern 

homes, including 20 elderly housing

units, which would qualify for the 

Government’s First Home Grant House 

Price Cap scheme. 

To support stage one, infrastructure 

will include afootpath connecting 

Vicarage Views to schools on Ludstone 

Road and the town centre, and the 

initial stages of acycle way from 

Ludstone Road to Ocean Ridge, via 

Green Lane. 

The sealing and upgrading of Green 

Lane, anew rail crossing and afurther 

extension of the cycle way were also 

planned. 

Later stages of the project will involve 

river protection works and an upgrade 

to the council’s three waters 

infrastructure to enable additional 

homes in the Ocean Ridge subdivision. 

Dr Woods said the fund was set up to 

jumpstart housing developments by 

funding the necessary services, like 

roads and pipelines to homes, which 

would otherwise hold up development.

Driving programme restores independence 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Ping Zhoucouldn’t sleep the night after 

she passed her drivers’ licence. 

And for the following three to four days 

the nearly 66yearold found herself 

jumping for joy on occasions. 

It had been along journey. Her success,

Community DrivingMentor Programme 

based in Rangiora. 

Ping’sendeavourstoget adrivers

But lessonsreached the pointwhere

Ping’sconfidence had plunged to zero. 

When Ping’s husbandbecame ill and 

couldn’t drive, it meant Ping had to ask 

familyand friends to help get him to 

appointments, and to visithim in hospital. 

‘‘Now Ican drive there and back, and I 

can drive down to the hospitaltosee him,’’ 

she says. 

‘‘I am now independent and confident,’’

those there is a100 percent pass rate. 

She says it is an amazing programme for 

the Waimakariri to host, is fullyfunded, 

and takes referrals from agencies, or those

An ‘unworkable mess’ 


Environmental legislation is an 

‘‘unworkable mess’’, says Jamie 

McFadden. 

He says farmers and others will be 

breaking the law every day because of 

multiple zonings in rural and urban 

areas that all have different rules, and 

require resource consents. 

‘The whole system will grind to ahalt 

because the rules are so unworkable and 

anonsense,’’ says Mr McFadden, a 

Groundswell NZ spokesperson, and 

member of the Rural Advocacy Network, 

North Canterbury. 

Mr McFadden says all of New Zealand 

—rural and urban —should be 

extremely concerned, and there’s aneed 

to mobilise as anation to fight what’s 

happening. 

‘‘I don’t want to scare people, but I 

want to give them aheads up and tell 

them the truth about what is 

happening.’’ 

He points to the West Coast where over 

1500 West Coast property owners 

received letters in the mail, ‘‘out of the 

blue’’, stating their properties had been 

zoned for ‘‘takeover by state control and 

that restrictions would take immediate 

legal effect’’. 

Mr McFadden says there was no 

consultation with affected property 

owners and no compensation for loss of 

use or drop in property value. 

‘‘Property owners have been left in a 

state of shock and angry at the lack of 

respect and fair process. 

‘‘This takeover of private land came 

about after the four West Coast councils 

released acombined district plan last 

week, called Te Tai oPoutini. The 

zonings include sites of significance to 

Maori, historic areas, outstanding 

natural landscapes, and significant 

natural areas (SNAs). Both urban and 

rural residents are impacted. 

‘‘In taking this draconian action, the 

councils have now turned anything that 

has cultural, historic, or natural value 

into aliability. 

‘‘Would you want any of these features 

on your property if it would make you 

vulnerable to losing the use of your land, 

and the resulting drop in the value of 

your property?’’ Mr McFadden asks. 

One farmer had seven different zones 

on his property with different rules. 

‘‘How does he farm it? Just by keeping 

his head down and carrying on? 

‘‘We are not heading in the right 

direction, with alot of what is happening 

relating to personal freedoms and the 

rights of property owners. 

‘‘With the combination of other rules 

and now zoning, and the loss of local 

democracy and local voice, people are 

feeling stifled,’’ says Mr McFadden. 

He says the taking of private land ‘‘by 

the state’’ is accelerating throughout 

New Zealand, as local councils are being 

forced by Government directive to 

Jamie McFadden 

enforce unworkable regulations. 

‘‘The raft of illconceived regulations 

coming out of Wellington is causing 

considerable stress and anxiety for the 

thousands of people caught up by the 

legislation. 

‘‘This is the main reason Groundswell 

NZ started campaigning.’’ 

Groundswell NZ is calling for the West 

Coast councils to immediately withdraw 

the Te Tai oPoutini plan and to support 

their communities in lobbying the 

Government for workable legislation 

that focuses on achieving positive 

environmental outcomes, while working 

with and respecting the rights of people 

and communities. 

Mr McFadden says the Hurunui 

District Council is possibly the only one 

in New Zealand to stand its ground, 

refusing to include Significant Natural 

Areas in its district plan in 2016, or 

cultural landscapes, because it 

recognised the ‘‘sensitivities’’ around it, 

and because it wasn’t prepared to do 

that to the community. 

He says the whole town of Moeraki is 

zoned asite of significance, along with 

half of Hampden and Kakanui. 

‘‘It is scary, amess and the whole 

environmental legislation thing is an 

unworkable mess’’. 

However, Mr McFadden who runs a 

native nursery and environmental 

planting business north of Cheviot, says 

on the positive side farmers in North 

Canterbury are doing some amazing 

work around plantings, erosion work 

and protecting wetlands. 

‘‘They are carrying on regardless of 

their work possibly being caught up in 

new legislation,’’ he says. This could 

mean farmers would have areas zoned 

on their properties as being significant, 

they had helped to save, at their cost, for 

the greater benefit. ‘‘

The impact of policies 

Unrest in the Netherlandshas seen30,000 

Dutchfarmers taketothe streets with their 

tractors to protestagainst Government 

climate changepolicies. 

The final strawfor them was aplan to 

limitnitrogen fertilisers whichinturn will 

lead to reduced production duringaglobal 

food shortage. 

Sevenyears ago the United Nations 

vowedtoeradicate hunger by 2030, yet345 

million people are currently experiencing 

acutefoodinsecurity which is 

unprecedented. 

The war in the Ukraine has certainly 

exacerbated the shortages, but carbon 

taxesand increasingcurbsonagricultural 

production sent the world down this path 

yearsago. 

We onlyhave to look at what has 

unfolded in Sri Lankawhere the 

Government banned the importationof 

syntheticfertilisers, to see the impactof 

bad policies. 

Rice production fell by 20 percent in just 

six months and has led to an economic 

crisis. 

Here in New Zealandwehave the 

Climate Change Commission (CCC) 

following the same policypathway with 

theirrecommendation to put acarbon 

priceonfertilisers as soon as possible. 

But not content to just add costs to our 

food,the CCC also want farmers to fight 

with theirhands tiedbehind their backs 

with the recommendation to not allow 

farmers to offsettheiremissions with their 

shelter belts and riparian plantings. 

This begsthe obvious question, why does 

the CCC wanttocountall carbonemissions

but not all carbon sequestration? One 

could be forgiven for thinking the CCC has 

somethingagainst our biggest export 

sector. 

It does not makeany sense to not allow 

trees,shrubs and plants that are 

sequestering carbon to be included in the 

Emissions TradingScheme (ETS). Fruit 

trees,grape vines, and Pinus Pinea (Stone 

Pine) are not eligible for inclusion in the 

ETS eitherasthis Governmentchooses to 

not allow them (because theyproduce 

food). 

Other countries do allow this, and Ihave 

yet to hear agood reasonwhy trees that 

produce food should be excluded, other 

than to clobber agriculture. Allthis flies in 

the faceofarticle 2(b)ofthe Paris Accord 

which New Zealand signed up to, which 

states: 

(b) Increasing the ability to adapttothe 

adverse impacts of climate changeand foster 

climate resilience and low greenhouse gas 

emissionsdevelopment,inamanner that 

does not threaten foodproduction. 

We mustplayour part in the reduction of 

greenhouse gas emissions, it actually 

makes good business sense, but we must do 

this in asustainableway that doesnot 

threaten food production. 

We alsomust not merely shift 

production offshore to less efficient 

producers, or leakageasitistermed. 

Reductions and removals (emissions 

and sequestration),have the samevalue 

and must be treatedassuch. Also, lowering

Waimak MP slams authorities 


WaimakaririMPMatt Doocey has 

slammed the Governmentand transport 

agencyfor what he says is ‘‘prioritising 

consultationover safety’’. 

Mr Doocey asked araft of written 

parliamentary questions of Transport 

Minister Michael Wood, seekinganswers 

about plans for the North Canterbury 

highway between Kaiapoi and Waikuku. 

However when responseswere not 

provided, he was forced to write to the 

Speaker of the House in order to get his 

questions answered. 

‘‘Thisisexactly the problem. We have 

been asking for information,and action, 

for years, and yet it is neverforthcoming. 

‘‘The people of Waimakarirideserveto 

know how much longer they have to 

wait.’’ 

Mr Doocey said whenhefinally 

receivedthe responsestohis questions 

he was alarmed to discover there was no 

funding for the works, which includes 

wire ropebarriers from the Cam Riverto 

the Ashley/RakahuriRiver. 

‘‘So the transportagency(WakaKotahi 

/NZTA)has funding for the design, but 

not the build. It begs the question,what 

havethey been doing for so long, and how 

muchhas this projectcost in 

consultation? 

‘‘This is avery valid question for those 

residentsliving in Woodend, Pegasus 

and othercommunities with real safety 

concerns.’’ 

Mr Doocey saysthere is no funding for 

the works, the transportagencyhas no 

indicativestartdate,and no idea when it 

will be completed. The workisalso 

dependent on project prioritisation and 

funding availability,something he said is 

deeplyconcerning. 

‘‘As we have seentime and timeagain, 

hardworkingCanterburycommutersare 

being fleeced and forgotten under this 

government, as road users charges are 

siphoned off to pay for pet public 

transport projects in Auckland. 

‘‘Thisisnot good enough, Waimakariri 

deserves saferoads just as much as 

anywhere else.Iwillkeep fighting for 

safetyfor our communities until Isee 

some action.’’ 

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency 

director regional relationships, James 

Caygill, outlines on goingwork on the

Safety improvements ongoing 

By DAVID HILL. 


Planning for safety improvements at 

Woodend is progressing. 

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency 

director regional relationships, James 

Caygill, says the agency’s State Highway 

1Ashley to Christchurch safety 

improvements programme is ongoing. 

He was responding to comments from 

WoodendSefton Community Board 

chairperson Shona Powell, who was 

calling for action on cycle ways and 

safety improvements in Woodend and 

Pegasus. 

The section between Tram Road and 

Cam River, near Kaiapoi, was 

completed earlier this year. 

Attention has now turned to the 

section from Cam River to Saltwater 

Creek, north of Ashley River. This 

Call for action ... Shona Powell, Woodend

section includes Woodend and Pegasus. 

‘‘We have some important planned 

and ongoing conversations with 

partners and key stakeholders –the 

people who may be more directly 

affected by this work and should be 

engaged with first,’’ Mr Caygill said. 

‘‘Once these conversations are 

completed, we will be coming to the 

wider community.’’ 

Mr Caygill said the agency’s vision was 

to have completed bike networks to 

support more people choosing to ride 

their bikes. 

‘‘We can do this by altering existing 

streets’ space allocated for cycling or 

shared paths, and in doing so, making 

cycling amore enjoyable and safe 

experience for everyone. 

‘‘Waka Kotahi would like to work with 

Waimakariri District Council to discuss 

the network plan and from there, how 

we can best support them.’’

Property owners stuck in limbo 



Some Rangiora property owners have 

been left in limbo as they attempt to 

subdivide their sections. 

Residents in Rangiora’s West Belt 

have say they have been left high and 

dry by recent legislative changes. 

The residents had engaged a 

consultant and were going through the 

process of preparing aresource 

consent application prior to the 

Waimakariri District Council notifying 

the proposed Waimakariri District 

Plan in September last year. 

But the subsequent passing of the 

Resource Management (Enabling 

Housing Supply and Other Matters) 

Amendment Act at the end of last year 

has forced the council to make changes 

to the proposed District Plan by August 

20. 

The new legislation meant there 

were now new rules for urban housing 

for large urban areas such as Kaiapoi 

and Rangiora. 

Property owners will be able to build 

two to three storey buildings or 

multiple units on asingle section 

under the new rules, without needing a 

resource consent. 

The new rules do not apply to new 

subdivisions, meaning any consent 

applications were likely to come from 

property owners with one or two lots, 

rather than developers. 

Council staff hoped to notify a 

summary of submissions to the 

proposed District Plan soon, acouncil 

spokesperson said. Staff expected to 

be able to provide an update next 

month.

Activities help young to learn 

Did you know that learning to read, write 

and do maths starts at birth? 

Many of the everyday activitiesyou do

connectionsintheirbrainand gets them 

ready for literacy and numeracy. 

There are manydifferent waysyou can 

help your childdevelop alove for reading, 

writing and mathematics in their early 

years —talking, reading, playing, singing 

or counting games.The goldenrule is to 

keep it fun for everyone. 

How can Iencourage my child in maths? 

Havinggood mathematicalskills is 

important for your child’s future —itwill 

help them solve problems and think 

creatively.Opportunities to use mathsare 

everywhere.Mathsisaboutcounting, 

measuring, sorting,patterns, numbers, 

shapes, size and position. It’seasy to 

include mathematical ideas in your child’s 

everyday activitiesand in theirplay.

Talkabouthow things are the same or 

different. Look for the patterns in leavesor 

on shells. Match things up —socks, pyjama

Findout who’staller. Have your child 

and their friends or familystand backtoback 

to see who is taller and who is 

shorter. 

Workout which lids fit on which pots. 

What about teaching numbers? Children 

love countingand it’simportant your child

theyunderstand what the numbers mean. 

Link numbers with objects to show them 

what‘‘one’’, ‘‘two’’, ‘‘three’’ or ‘‘five’’mean. 

For instance, one nose, one mouth, two 

ears, two legs andfive fingers. 

Read stories and rhymes (eg Three 

Blind Mice, Goldilocks and the Three 

Bears) and sing songs that use numbers. 

Count as you walk up and down steps,do 

up bottons, lay the table or fill their 

lunchbox. 

Spot numbers on letterboxes. 

Cook —measure the ingredients, share 

foodevenly. 

Listentomusic —clap, countand sing 

the rhythm. 

Shop —count how many cansare in the 

trolley. 

Build —use building blocks, measure 

lengthand height, match size and shape. 

Your childlearns by repetition, and is just 

like learning to dress, or set the table.

and testingout ideasabout reading,

approaches to literacy and numeracy.

LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER 

Directbus services connecting 

Rangiora and Kaiapoi to Christchurch 

have continued to be wellsupported, 

despite the challenges of Covid19. 

Environment Canterbury (ECan) says 

the Rangiora (91) and Kaiapoi (92) 

services have enjoyed asolid 18 months, 

despite the variouschallenges from 

Covid and driver shortages. 

‘‘The pastyear has seen morepeople 

working from homeand reluctant to use 

publictransport due to an increase in 

community transmission of Covid19,’’ 

an ECan spokesperson said. 

‘‘Despite these circumstances, May 

2022 was the bestmonth for the Kaiapoi 

service since it began, and the Rangiora 

service has also performedwell during 

May and June.’’ 

The Kaiapoi service had 2380 

passengers in May, while the Rangiora 

service had well over 3816 passengers 

in May and 3382inJune. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon is a 

regular user of ECan’s bus service. 

‘‘I use it myself whenheading into 

Christchurchinthe morning for regular 

councilrelated meetings and it’s fast, 

convenient,affordable and ontime all 

thingsthat agreat bus service should 

using ceramics, painting, sculpture, 

photography and mixed media. 

Indigo is the 11thexhibition the 

artistshave held which theybelieve is a 

first for the South Island and possibly 

New Zealand. 

The group’s spokesman,Shaun 

Burdon, travelled from his home in 

Bendigo, to assist with the installation 

of the exhibitionand attend the 

opening. 

Luke Anthonyalso travelled to 

Kaiapoitohelp install the exhibition. 

Shaun says group members‘‘liketo 

mix the work up abit to tell astory,’’ in 

their exhibitions rather than feature 

anyone’s work. 

‘‘We are all friends. Thereare no egos 

involved.’’ 

Indigo closes on Wednesday, August 

17. 

be. 

‘‘It’s greattosee growthinthe service 

from Kaiapoiand generally to see that 

more residents are using bus services. 

‘‘For anyone who commutes to 

Christchurch for work, I’d strongly 

encourage you to give this service ago.’’ 

All other Waimakariri services have 

also shownanincrease in patronage 

since halfprice fareswere introduced 

in April, the ECanspokespersonsaid. 

Overall bus patronage for Greater 

Christchurch for the year to June2022 

was 8.7 millionboardings,which was 

just twothirds of preCovidservice 

levels. 

In contrast the MyWaybus servicein 

Timaru has enjoyedpatronageat5.6% 

higher than preCovid levels, which will 

be good news for advocates hoping to 

bring the servicetoWaimakariri. 

Last month, MyWay recorded its 

second highest number of rides in aday 

with 614, whiledailyaverage rides 

ranged from 490 to 580.

‘‘Beingacandidateisabout being

The roleofacouncillor covered two 

main areas —representing

Mr Dobbie saysage does not matter, 

nor where you liveinthe district or

Park seeks more time 

By DAVID HILL. 


The Waimakariri District Council will 

vote on Tuesday, August 2, on whether to 

extend an agreement to develop a 

proposed aqua sports park in Kaiapoi. 

Two options will be on the table after 

the Kaiapoi East Residents’ Association 

(KERA) presented an alternative option 

to the WHoW Charitable Trust’s 

proposed aqua sports park to aKaiapoi 

Tuahiwi Community Board meeting last 

week. 

Community and recreation manager 

Chris Brown said areport had been 

prepared outlining the choice between 

extending the memorandum of 

understanding (MOU) with the trust for a 

further two years or allowing KERA to 

develop acommunity space on the site. 

The MOU was signed between the 

council and the trust in August 2020 for 

two years, with the option of atwo year 

extension, to develop an aqua sports 

park concept in the Kaiapoi east 

regeneration area to the north of 

Kaiapoi River. 

Aseparate threeyear license to 

occupy agreement was signed last year 

allowing the trust to operate an aqua 

play park in Lake Courtenay, to the 

south of the river. 

Mr Brown said there was no reason 

why both proposals could not be 

accommodated. 

KERA chairperson Michelle 

MacWilliams proposed turning the site 

into anative regenerating forest with 

picnic areas, walkways and areas for 

free activities such as petanque. 

‘‘We have reached out to business 

owners and many of them are on their 

knees. We don’t want them to have to 

wait for another three years for 

something that might not happen. 

‘‘We are looking at something that will 

bring benefit in the spring. It will bring 

people in and it’s free, so people can 

spend their money in the stores.’’ 

Ms MacWilliams said the proposal had 

support from Ryman Healthcare and 

other potential funders. 

The KaiapoiTuahiwi Community 

granted KERA permission last year to 

establish apocket forest around the 

perimeter of the site. 

Mr Brown said should councillors 

decide to extend the MOU with the 

WHoW Charitable Trust, he would reach 

out to KERA. 

Options for how the two organisations 

could work together and how KERA’s 

ideas could be accommodated on the site 

and on other council reserve land would 

be discussed. 

‘‘There are some environmental 

regeneration projects already under 

way, such as the Honda Forest, and 

we’ve been developing dog parks and 

walk ways, but there’s always room for 

more,’’ Mr Brown said. 

‘‘The council just needs to look at the 

proposals and make adecision for 

what’s going to be the best four 

economic, social, environmental and 

cultural wellbeing for the district and 

long term what’s going to be the best for 

Kaiapoi.’’ 

When asked at last week’s community 

board meeting whether KERA would be 

willing to work with the trust, Ms 

MacWilliams gave an emphatic ‘‘No!’’.

Wrestlerheadstogames 

Rangiora Amateur Wrestling Club 

member, MatthewOxenham,has 

been selected for the Birmingham 

CommonwealthGamesinthe 86kg 

FreestyleDivision. 

Matthew has trained with the 

Rangiora Amateur Wrestling Club 

for the past threeyears after 

moving to Christchurch to attend 

University. 

He is in Poland at the Polish 

Open International Tournament as 

part of his build up. 

Unfortunately three time 

CommonwealthGames 

representative Sam Belkin, with a 

bronze medal at one of them,was 

overlooked in theselections. 

The club is verydisappointedin 

the process as Sam had arecordof 

averyhigh standard. 

The selectionperiod was in a 

stateofdisarray because of Covid 

19 and the resultant cancellation of 

two OceaniaChampionships 

meant substitute tournaments for 

selection purposes were hard to 

come by. 

The last chancewas to attend the 

Australian Championships but not 

all prospectscould attend because 

of theshort notice given. 

The Rangiora Club has had two 

years of turmoil as aresult of Covid 

and club numbers have 

diminished, mostly because alot of 

tournamentsinthe South Island 

were cancelled because of Covid 

rules. 

The cost of travelling to the 

North Islandwas also adeterrent 

for athletes and parents. It 

travelled to Goreearlier in the 

seasonfor asmalltournament and 

has just competed in the South 

IslandChampionships held in 

Mosgiel. Theteam of fourathletes 

is the smallest number ever to 

traveland compete at aSouth 

IslandChampionships. 

Placingsgained were: 

MaciJayne Martin, under 10 years, 

24kg, Silver;RuslanHill,1013 

years,34kg, Silver; Luca Martin, 

38kg, Gold; KruizePelesa,1416 

years,55kg, Gold. 

RuslanHill also won the 

Marlborough Centennial Cup for 

the Most Promising wrestler at the 

Championships. 

The clubishosting the Canterbury 

Championships at the MainPower 

Stadium on Sunday, August21. The 

club is workinghard to get more 

members to participate in the 

competition especially as they do 

not have to travel.Teams from 

Gore, Mosgiel and Dunedin are 

expected to participate. 

Cycleway closer 

By DAVID HILL 


Aproposed cycle way from 

Christchurch to Waipara is 

closer to becoming areality. 

The Pegasus Bay CycleTrail, 

formerlyknownasWheelsto 

Waipara, is fasttakingshape 

linking cycle trails in 

Christchurch, Waimakariri and 

Hurunui. 

Enterprise North Canterbury 

(ENC), the economic 

development arm of the 

Waimakariri and Hurunui 

district councils,received a 

$296,000Lotteries Community 

FacilitiesGrant lastmonth. 

It will be used to upgrade two 

existing Waimakariri cycle 

trails to completethe first two 

stages of the Pegasus Bay Cycle 

Trail. 

Chiefexecutive Heather 

Warwick said ENC was 

collaborating with 

Environment Canterbury 

(ECan) to upgradethe Kaiapoi 

Island Trail, alongthe 

Waimakariri and Kaiapoi 

Riverstopbanks. It will also 

work with Te Kohaka o 

TuhaitaraTrust to upgradethe 

Tutaepatu Trailalong the 

coastline, linkingWoodend 

Beachwith Waikuku Beach. 

Mrs Warwicksaid oncethe 

upgrades werecompleted,the 

Pegasus Bay Cycle Trail 

partners would begin 

promotingthe trail. 

‘‘Everything is offroad. It just 

needsthe signage.’’ 

Stageone wouldtake cyclists 

from The Square,following the 

Avon LooptoNew Brighton, 

following Marine Parade to 

Bottle Lake Forest and then 

Spencer Park, throughKainga, 

crossingthe Waimakariri River 

and along the Kaiapoi Island 

Trailinto Kaiapoi. Once in 

Kaiapoi,cyclists had several 

choices, including taking the 

PasschendaeleMemorial Path 

to Rangiora. 

Amore scenic route took the 

Pegasus and Tutaepatu trailsto 

Waikuku Beach, or cyclists 

couldturn off at Woodend 

Beachand takethe Jill 

Creamer Trail and Rangiora 

Woodend Path to Rangiora. 

The Rakahuri Trail, along the 

AshleyRakahuri River, also 

linksWaikuku Beach with 

Rangiora. 

Arrangements are being 

made with private cycling 

companies to transport cyclists 

from either Rangiora or 

Waikuku Beach to Waipara, 

untilmore funding is secured 

to complete stage three.Once 

in Waipara, cyclists can tackle 

the 16kmVineyard Track.The 

entire trail,once complete, will 

be athree to four day journey. 

ENC is leading the project, in 

partnership with 

ChristchurchNZ, ECan, Te 

Kohaka oTuhaitara Trust, the 

NorthCanterbury Wine 

Growers’ Association and 

private cycling companies. 

Mrs Warwicksays Kaiapoi 

had becomeapopular 

destinationfor Christchurch 

cyclists since the opening of the 

new cycleway alongside State 

Highway 1inDecember 2020.

Groundspread NZ is the new public face 

for the NewZealand Groundspread 

Fertilisers’Association (NZGFA). 

The organisation was established in 

1956 to promote and protect the interests 

of bothindividuals and companies 

involved in the groundspread fertiliser 

industry. 

The association has 110 voluntary 

membersfrom throughoutNew Zealand 

committed to promoting bestpractice 

fertiliser placement. This requires skilled 

operators, soundspreading equipment, 

and appropriate fertilisers. 

Groundspreaders are typically the first 

step in ensuring onfarm productivity. By 

spreading nutrients accuratelyand evenly 

using the latest technology,finely 

calibrated vehicles, and highly trained 

operators, groundspreaders helpfarmers 

and growers get the best outoftheir 

nutrient spend. The skillinvolved in 

Groundspreading ... Anew name Groundspread NZ and website are helping farmers 

and growers to find aspreader in their area committed to promoting best practice in 

fertiliser placement.

groundspreading means food production 

in New Zealand gets the best start 

possible. 

The new name and new website better 

share the storyofhow the association’s 

members contributetoonfarm 

performance, and are initiatives driven by 

the association’s strategicplan. 

Farmersand growers can now visit 

www.groundspreadnz.com to finda 

spreader in their area,learn more about 

how the association supportsmembers to 

operateatthe high levelthat they do, and 

learn more about the Spreadmark scheme. 

Spreadmark, established by 

GroundspreadNZin1994,was bornfrom 

acommitment by the association’s 

members to improve spreader 

performance and outcomes for their 

clients andthe environment. Proper 

placement of fertiliser is of considerable 

agronomic benefit to farmers and growers, 

and helps protectthe environmentfrom 

the undesirable side effects of poor 

fertiliser spreadingpractices. The latest 

data from the scheme’s auditor (QCONZ) 

highlightssolid growth in spreader unit 

capabilities. In 10 years, spreadingwidths 

have increased from 19m to 27m for most 

products, so farmers can be assured their 

product placement is accurate and fewer 

runs of the paddockare required to 

reduce application costs. Today, the 

Spreadmarkscheme is governed by the

Rangiora CBK nearly upsets Harewood 

HOCKEY 

In arguably one of its best performances 

of the season the Rangiora CBK 

women's Division 1hockey team almost 

upset highflyers Harewood in the latest 

round of Canterbury Hockey 

competition. 

Both teamswere forced to bring in 

players from other divisions due to 

illness andinjury, but with Harewood 

sittingthird on the table comparedto 

Rangiora'seighth it would have beena 

brave gambler to give the green and 

golds any chance. 

Rangiorascored early through Lucy 

Murray then defended its lead for the 

majority of the game before Harewood 

scored late to equalise. 

Thiswas agreat result given CBK lost 

to Harewood 50 in their previous 

encounter. 

Next week Rangioraplay topofthetable 

Carlton Redcliffs in its last game of 

pool play. 

RangioraGold returned fromatwo 

week layoff to record astrong win over 

UC Barbarians. 

Thiscompletes the Division 2round 

robin competition with Rangiora Gold 

comfortable in second place. 

It plays topofthetable UC Vikings 

next for direct entry into the final. 

Rangiora Oddfellows couldn't convert 

its chances against Waikirikiri so head 

into their finals series hoping to 

continue its improving form to maybe 

cause an upset.

women's Division 2competition, but the 

young teamscan be happy with their 

showing against topofthetable Hornby 

and head into their finals series with 

someconfidenceoffinishing theseason 

with awin or two. 

In Platinum grades the Jets and the 

Snakes find themselves at opposite ends 

of the table with just one roundof 

regular season to go in boys Division 2, 

but with the way their finals competition 

is structured they could meet again in 

the semis. 

After starting the season with several 

winsRangioraKakahave found the 

going tougher in recent weeks and sit 

7th in Platinum Girls Division 2with just 

two weeks leftinregular season to find 

some form ahead of the finals. Rangiora 

Kakariki are faring better inPlatinum 

Girls Division 4and will be aiming to 

finish second or third to avoid the 

dominant HinemoaKaiapoi team until 

the finals. 

In Mid week action both Men's teams 

scored wins and losses in the past two 

weeks. 

The Mighty Mid Week demolished 

Avon 73 then found themselves on the 

wrong end of the same scoreline against 

Southern the following week. 

Meanwhile the Allsorts weren't ableto 

capitalise on aweakened Southern 

team, but then dominated much of the 

game in their bottomofthetableclash 

against Waikirikiri at Foster Park in 

Rolleston to record amuch needed win. 

Rangiora Hurunui Hares secured a 

valuable draw against table topping 

Carlton Redcliffs and was able to do 

enough against HinemoaKaiapoi to eek 

out another win and maintain second

Finals day for Nth Canty rugby 

By PETER WILLIAMS 

Kaiapoi hosts FinalsDay on 

Saturday with all grades from Under 

14 1 ⁄2 upwards playing. 

The winner of the Division 1, 

GrandFinal is not easy to pick. 

If there is any truthinthe old 

adagethat ateam needstolose a 

finalbefore theycan win one, then 

Kaiapoi has the inside running as it 

won the title last seasonand this is 

the third consecutive year it has 

competed in the final. 

Hurunui,onthe other hand, has 

nevercontested agrandfinalsince 

the formationofthe club in 1995. 

It was 1989 when players from this 

district, playing under the bannerof 

CulverdenWaiau, last won aNorth 

Canterbury Division 1title. 

The team, though,isajudicious 

mix of experience,particularly in 

the form of Nordy Anderson and 

formerCrusader BenFunnell, and 

has awealth of precociousyoung 

talent. 

It is playing verygood rugby, and is 

clearlywell coachedbyBede Crean 

and JasonMcDonald, making it hard 

to beat. 

These two teams have already met 

on three occasionsthis season and 

although Kaiapoi has emerged 

victorious each time, it has been by 

the narrowest of margins. 

An enthralling encounter awaits. 

Saracens will playOhoka in the 

Plate Final, while in the Division 2 

Grade Kaikoura,which has lost only 

one match this season, inexplicably 

to the lowlyranked Woodend, will 

match up against the rapidly 

improvingOhoka side,which only 

finished sixth in the roundrobin, but 

has struck arich vein of form since. 

Ashley plays Oxfordinthe Division 

Two Plate Final.

Hurunui, Kaiapoi to meet in final 

RUGBY 

By PETER WILLIAMS 

and LINDSAY KERR 

Amonth ago, if anyone had said that 

Hurunui and Kaiapoi would play off in 

the Grand Final of the Luisetti Seeds 

North Canterbury competition they 

would have been offered astronomical 

odds by any local bookmaker. 

Clearly such an outcome could not 

transpire –but it has. 

In contrasting semifinals Hurunui led 

all the way and in the end accounted 

quite comfortably for Ashley, winning 

3117, whereas Kaiapoi had to fight back 

from a313halftime deficit. 

It responded by accumulating 15 

unanswered points over Glenmark 

Cheviot, and eventually prevailed 1813. 

Unusually, both semi finals were won 

by the visiting team. 

Ashley vHurunui 

Hurunui put on all the early pressure. 

Ashley looked unsure under the high 

ball when firstfive Kyle McKenzie, who 

was to become akey figure in the match, 

peppering Ashley with some towering 

punts. 

However Ashley gathered its 

resources and survived this early 

onslaught, aided to adegree by 

Hurunui’s penchant for conceding 

penalties at the breakdown. 

It was not until the 20th minute that 

Hurunui got any reward for its 

dominance when full back Digby Heard 

chimed in to finish off agood team try. 

Ashley hit back when it completely 

dominated aset scrum, and Jack 

Marshall landed the resultant penalty. 

Winger, Hunter Johnson put Hurunui 

further in front soon after. Jono 

Schwass, who was having an excellent 

game at halfback, ran strongly on the 

short side before unloading to Ben 

Funnell who timed his pass to Johnson 

to perfection. 

But with half time approaching, 

Hurunui made one of its rare errors, 

dropping the ball behind the advantage 

line. Ashley swooped on the opportunity 

and Anthony Tavendale scored which 

meant that Hurunui took anarrow lead 

into the second half. 

There was awatershed moment early 

in the second half. In an unexpected 

change from the policy they had been 

following most of the season, skipper, 

Louis James passed up the opportunity 

of avery easy penalty kick which would 

have narrowed the gap to just one point, 

and ordered akick into the corner. 

Hurunui survived this threat and 

proceeded to stamp its dominance on 

the match. 

The Hurunui forwards continued to 

win the lion’s share of possession and 

the halves pairing of Schwass and 

McKenzie directed play to their team’s 

strengths. In the midfield Matt Hickey 

and Josh Cavanagh both ran strongly 

and were very staunch on defence. 

It was the lanky lock, Flynn Crean, 

who was also adominant figure in the 

lineout, who scored the vital try. He 

scooped up aloose ball and sprinted 

through ayawning gap in the Ashley 

defence to score beneath the posts for 

McKenzie to add the inevitable 

conversion. He kicked another penalty 

four minutes later to rub further salt 

into the wound and livewire flanker Gus 

Waghorn rounded off Hurunui’s scoring 

blitz with atry in the 65th minute. 

Ashley was fortunate there was no 

TMO in operation or they would have 

been down to 14 players when McKenzie 

was the victim of adangerous tiptackle. 

However it did not give up and was 

rewarded with aconsolation try to 

James in injury time. Ashley is ayoung 

side who have played very good rugby, 

Who is who ... Referee Russell Lane is in perfect position to award Kaiapoi’s first try as

especially in the latter part of the 

season. 

While Hurunui thoroughly deserved 

this win, there is no doubt that this 

Ashley team has avery bright future.

James tries, Jack Marshall 2conversions

conversions,1 penalty). 

GlenmarkCheviotv 

Kaiapoi 

GlenmarkCheviot controlled the 

scoreboard in its semi final encounter 

with Kaiapoi for all but 10 minutes. This 

was the 10 minutes that mattered most 

when Kaiapoi snatched the lead to 

finish 1813 victors. 

Played in what became mud bath 

conditions at the Omihi Domain, the 

game was aclash between two even 

sides that still tried their hardest to run 

the ball. The conditions also warranted 

agood share of kicking as each side 

tested the aerial defence of their 

opponent. 

The home team started the scoring 

after 10 minutes with aCaleb Beck 

penalty. This was against the run of play, 

aperiod that had seen and subsequently 

continued to see Kaiapoi camp in the 

GlenmarkCheviot half. Kaiapoi turned 

down apenalty attempt in favour of a 

line out drive. This move ended with a 

turnover and an infringement that 

resulted in Kaiapoi playing with 14 

players for the remainder of the half. 

In the 10 minutes prior to the break, 

GlenmarkCheviot struck hard scoring 

two unconverted tries and went to the 

break with ahandy 133 lead. 

The first try came from arolling maul 

near the line and prop Ben Reid 

burrowed over to score. Right on the half 

time whistle fullback Matt Holmes 

seized on awayward bounce that arose 

from aclever Jordy Gray box kick. 

Holmes ran 20 metres to score. 

In between Taine JacobsLawson put 

Kaiapoi on the board with apenalty. 

Kaiapoi showed it was still in the 

contest and made an encouraging start 

to the second half. After asolid build up, 

amud covered and unrecognisable Zane 

Carey crashed over to score. 

The try was converted and the 

difference between the sides was 

reduced to three. 

At the 25 minute mark, the home team 

was close to scoring after asuccessful 

clearing kick charge down, but it was 

Kaiapoi that finished the better and 

after amove involving backs and 

forwards an overlap was created that 

allowed Codey Grimes to score and 

Kaiapoi to take the lead. 

GlenmarkCheviot attacked in the 

final moments, but it was too late. The 

conditions were against them, as was 

being down to 14 players, along with a 

Kaiapoi unit that was determined not to 

fall into the trap that had seen them lose 

to Ohoka the week before. 

The result was afitting tribute to 

Kaiapoi’s outstanding second five eight 

Dante Love who played his 100th 

Division 1game for the club. 

Although no longer living in the area, 

the match was watched by two of 

Glenmark’s former prominent All 

Blacks and international coaches with 

Alex Wyllie and Robbie Deans on hand. 

GlenmarkCheviot 13 (Ben Reid, Matt 

Holmes tries. Caleb Beck penalty) lost to 

Kaiapoi 18 (Zane Carey, Codey Grimes 

tries, Taine JacobsLawson conversion, 

two penalties. 

Ohoka vOxford 

Danny Brooker, playing his 50th match 

for Oxford starred with ahattrick of 

tries. 

Rob Tucker and Rex Kloppers were 

others to stand out for Oxford while 

Angus Leckie, Jack Wedlake and Sam 

England were among Ohoka’s best. 

Ohoka 34 (Will Clifford, Ryan McCallum, 

Ben Gold, Angus Leckie, Felipe Pizzaro 

tries Scott Allin 3conversions, penalty) 

beat Oxford 24 (Danny Brooker 3tries 

Matt Roberts 3conversions, penalty). 

Saracens vWoodend 

Two players brought up milestones in 

this match. For Woodend Adam Brand 

played his 100th open grade game while 

Matt Freeman played his 50th Division 1 

match for Saracens. 

Luke Palliser was Woodend’s forward 

of the day and Joel Stockwell the back of 

the day. 

Saracens 52 (Kerran Jenkins, Alex 

Kennedy, Josh Maynard, Willy Kerr 2, 

Brett Hancox, Toby Ashby tries Ricky 

Allin 5, Dion Jones conversions beat 

Woodend 12 (Joel Stockwell, Jayden

Age no barrier for Ashley rugby coach 


At ‘‘nearly 73’’ Ashley Rugby 

Football Club’s Personality of 

the Year, Steve Mitchell, 

thought his days coaching 

rugby were over. 

But that changed earlier 

this year when Steve, who is a 

life member of the club with 30 

years of coaching experience, 

agreed to assist Andrew Dunn 

coach Ashley’s senior Division 

Two team. 

‘‘I think Imight be the oldest 

coach in New Zealand,’’ he 

says. But he was happy to 

oblige. ``It is avery hard job 

for one person.’’ 

The team has excelled 

under their coaching this year 

and on Saturday will play 

Oxford on Finals Day at 

Kaiapoi in the Division Two 

Plate Final. 

It is an exciting result but 

Steve is underplaying his 

contribution to the team’s 

success. 

‘‘Andrew has been coaching 

them all year. Ihave just come 

in in the last few months,’’ 

Steve says. 

He believes in keeping 

Team talk ... Ashley Rugby Club’s president, Murray Goodwin, far

Dunn, left and Steve Mitchell, centre, during the club’s Senior 

Division One game against Hurunui at the Loburn Domain last

things simple as acoach. 

‘‘When Icame in they had all 

these fancy moves they 

wanted to do. They see them 

on the television and they 

want to do them too.’’ 

He narrowed down the 

fancy manoeuvres, and asked 

the team to focus on doing the 

simple things well. 

‘‘If we get that right we can 

make progress,’’ he told them. 

‘‘Getting everyone focused is 

the key,’’ he says. 

Steve has been playing 

rugby since he was fiveyears 

old and is still ahuge fan of 

the game, particularly 

‘‘grassroots rugby’’ because 

everyone can be involved. 

‘‘Rugby is still the only sport 

where every body type can 

play and be good at it,’’ he 

says. 

‘‘That is the appeal of it and 

people like being in teams 

because they provide great 

social connection.’’ 

The Ashley club’s secretary 

David Gambold says Steve is 

an invaluable member and 

fantastic supporter of the 

club, who was ‘‘a good player 

in his day and really knows his 

rugby’’. Steve has enjoyed 

coaching the Division Two 

seniors this year. ‘‘These boys 

are great kids,’’ he says. 

He has always loved ruby 

and plans to continue 

supporting the club as much 

as he can, but he is not looking 

to make his coaching role 

permanent. ‘‘We are trying to 

encourage younger guys to 

take on the role, but it is not 

easy because everyone seems 

to be so busy these days.’’

First Chlorination Exemption 

Application Submitted 

The Council has submitted the first ofits 

applications to new water regulator, Taumata 

Arowai, seeking anexemption from having touse 

chlorine in water supplies. 

Taumata Arowai took over responsibility for 

regulating drinking water from the Ministry of 

Health in November 2021, via the Water Services 

Act, which now requires all registered water 

supplies to submit aDrinking Water Safety Plan 

(DWSP) aswell as introduce aresidual disinfectant, 

such as chlorine -unless awarded anexemption. 

Water Asset Manager,ColinRoxburgh says staff 

havebeen preparing updated DWSPsfor all the 

Council’swatersupplies, and residual disinfection 

exemption applications forall its on-demand supplies. 

“Our first exemption application for the Cust 

drinking water supply has been submitted, and 

we plan tosubmit the remaining five applications 

before the November deadline,” says Colin. 

“Councils mustdemonstratethe highest levels of water 

qualityand management practices,which is why we’re 

continuing to investigate options to improve reliability.” 

Over the years, Council has had ahigh level of 

engagement with the Cust community about their 

supply. ACust Water Supply Advisory Group was 

established back in 2008, and public meetings 

have been held more recently in 2020 togain the 

views ofthe wider community, prior to the recent 

upgrade ofthe headworks. 

“Strong feedback from the community was that 

investment in the village’s water supply would be 

worthwhile, if it would provide the best chance of the 

water remaining chlorine free in the future,” says Colin. 

While we’re making every effort todemonstrate the 

safety and quality of our water supplies, exemptions 

may be subject to further work taking place, and 

may require chlorine to be administered temporarily. 

Alternatively, the applications may be declined, and 

chlorine could become permanent, depending on the 

assessment made by Taumata Arowai. 

All Council schemes have chlorination equipment 

ready to be used as and when required and has 

been in place for some time, if achange in water 

quality or the risk profile of asupply were to change. 

The schemes that are currently unchlorinated 

(or intended to be unchlorinated subject to 

the application process) are Rangiora, Kaiapoi, 

Woodend-Pegasus, Oxford, Waikuku Beach and Cust. 

We will keep residents updated on the status 

of our exemption applications throughout the 

process, as well as any subsequent decisions 

from Taumata Arowai. 

More information on Taumata Arowai and 

drinking water standards can be found on the 

regulator's website.

KAIAPOI CHRISTADELPHIANS 

“The Key ofKnowledge ..” 

(Luke 11:52) 

“KINGDOM OFGOD” 

Before His ascension into heaven the Lord Jesus spoke ofthe 

Kingdom ofGOD, “During His forty days after His crucifixion He 

appeared to His apostles from timetotime…. And He talked to them 

about the KingdomofGOD”Acts1:3. It continues in Acts 1:6 “they 

kept asking Him ‘Lord has the time come for you to free Israel and 

restoreour kingdom?” The Lord’s reply was “The FATHERalone has 

the authority to set those dates and times”. From these quotes we 

can seethatthe KingdomofGOD is connectedtothe nationofIsrael.
