JUBILATION FOR DARFIELD 

A new club will be inscribed on 

Ellesmere Rugby Sub-Union’s 

coveted Coleman Shield after 

Darfield pipped Prebbleton 

27-26 in Saturday’s decider. 

Centre Toby Kars scored in 

the final minute at a wet and 

murky Darfield Domain and 

then Alister Collins, in his 50th 

game for the side, eventually 

added the extras in controversial 

circumstances. The successful 

conversion prompted wild 

scenes as Darfield prevented 

Prebbleton winning the trophy 

for the first time since 1974.

after car 

break-in 

• By Susan Sandys 

A PREBBLETON resident took 

chase after two youths as they 

broke into his car, nabbing a 

cellphone he hopes will identify 

the suspects. 

Mike Morton was outside 

trying to spot a meteor in Friday 

night’s meteor shower, but instead 

he spotted the alleged theft 

under way. 

It was one of a spate of car 

break-ins and thefts in and 

around Prebbleton, incidents into 

which police had made no arrests 

as of Monday afternoon. 

Police said one car was stolen 

from Prebbleton overnight Friday, 

with at least another three 

vehicles broken into. 

“Inquiries are ongoing to determine 

the circumstances,’’ a police 

spokesperson said. 

The Prebbleton Facebook 

community page shows about 10 

vehicles were damaged, mostly 

in the early hours of Saturday 

morning. Posts also suggest up to 

four youths may be responsible.

New flyover plan draws 

MORE THAN 700 people have 

submitted in the second round 

of consultation on the proposed 

$125 million Rolleston flyover 

plan. 

New Zealand Transport 

Agency Waka Kotahi will report 

on the feedback within the next 

three months, before finalising 

its business case and beginning 

detailed design. 

The first step in construction 

will be a Dunns Crossing Rd/ 

Walkers Rd roundabout in 2024, 

as this needs to be up and running 

so traffic can safely cross 

State Highway 1 at this point before 

construction of the flyover 

begins. 

Construction of the flyover 

itself will begin 2026, and be 

completed in 2028. 

The first round of consultation 

in July and August last year drew 

about 980 responses. Waka Kotahi 

consequently went back to 

the drawing board, and released 

the new flyover plan, this time 

with its bridge being straight 

across, rather than skewed, over 

State Highway 1. 

The more than 700 submissions 

this time round, which 

were received before the closing 

date of July 22, suggests Selwyn 

residents have plenty to say 

about how Waka Kotahi can 

improve its new plan further. 

While the new plan has found 

favour with many, including 

Mayor Sam Broughton, it 

has also attracted opposition. 

This includes from people at 

the neighbouring Jones Rd 

businesses of Christchurch RV 

Centre and Drummond and 

Etheridge. 

Christchurch RV Centre is

more than 700 submissions

layout. 

Drummond and Etheridge 

Rolleston branch manager 

Murray Chesterman said Waka 

Kotahi would most likely be 

looking to acquire land from the 

premises, although this had not 

been finalised yet. 

He did not support the new 

flyover plan as it had a number 

of design flaws, including the 

four-lane Jones Rd with cycleway 

making access difficult for 

motorists needing to turn in and 

out of the business.

Historic 

tennis cup 

goes missing

A LADBROOKS Tennis Club

stolen from a club member’s 

letterbox. 

David 

Bain said he 

realised the 

cup, for the

was missing 

late last 

month, after 

finding out 

it had been 

dropped off 

by a fellow

It was a two-handled cup with 

lid, dating from the 1970s. It was 

about 25cm tall, with winners’ 

names engraved on it, 

“It has years of history in terms 

of engraved winner’s names, so is 

of significant sentimental value to 

the club,” Bain said. 

It was also upsetting to not be 

able to award the cup to this year’s 

winner, Hannah Millar. 

He had reported the suspected 

theft to the police.

Medium density housing a step closer 


NEW PLAN change areas 

at Rolleston, Lincoln and 

Prebbleton are being included 

in medium density zones as new 

housing intensification rules are 

introduced. 

The district council will soon 

ask residents what they think 

of the new rules being included 

in its proposed district plan, as 

they become mandatory under 

the Resource Management (Enabling 

Housing Supply and Other 

Matters) Amendment Act 2021. 

Rolleston, Lincoln and 

Prebbleton are set to be transformed, 

as the new rules will 

allow land owners to build three 

three-storey homes per residential 

section without resource 

consent. 

This includes on hundreds 

of hectares of land in new plan 

change areas as developers 

rezone blocks within and outside 

of current town boundaries. 

The new Enabling Housing 

Supply legislation has put the 

district council in a complex 

situation, as it grapples with 

large numbers of plan changes 

made possible under another 

piece of new legislation, the 

National Policy Statement for 

Urban Development 2020. 

Both have been introduced by 

Government within the last two 

years as it aims to increase housing 

supply. 

“It’s not our fault, we are meat 

in the sandwich,” said councillor 

Mark Alexander as councillors 

discussed notifying the proposed 

district plan variation at their 

fortnightly meeting last week. 

“It looks extremely developer 

led, it embeds business as usual. 

We have got a massive risk of 

consultation fatigue, the perception 

of acting in bad faith and 

increasing distrust,” said fellow 

councillor Sophie McInnes. 

“Unfortunately we are being 

pushed with the (two pieces of 

legislation) in directions which 

we did not intend, and we are 

not the authors of our own demise,” 

councillor Malcolm Lyall 

said. 

Councillor Debra Hasson 

moved a recommendation that 

would have seen the district 

council seek clarification from 

the Minister for the Environment 

as to how they should

proceed in the “unique situation”

Some of the councillors also 

talked about the benefits of intensification 

and the importance

well; however, the Ministry for 

the Environment had now issued 

a guide. 

Hasson asked if open space requirements 

in plan change areas 

could be expanded to cater for 

medium density development. 

Team leader strategy and 

policy Robert Love suggested it 

could be better to retrospectively 

upgrade open space areas as part 

of financial contributions from 

developers, as the new legislation 

only enabled medium density 

and did not dictate that it would 

happen. 

The district council plans to 

notify the variation on August 20. 

After that, the public will 

have 20 working days to make 

submissions. Hearings will be 

conducted by an independent 

hearings panel, which will make 

recommendations to the district 

council on whether to adopt the 

variation. The decisions will then 

be released, and there will be no 

right of appeal.

Lincoln Voice 

lodges appeal 

LINCOLN residents opposed 

to the Plan Change 69 Lincoln 

South 1710-section development 

are lodging their appeal against 

the plan change today. 

New housing intensification 

rules could hypothetically see 

Lincoln South have up to three 

times more homes than initially 

planned, however this is unlikely 

as Carter Group wants to keep it 

as a low density development. 

Lincoln Voice spokesperson 

Denise Carrick 

said this commitment 

from Carters was at least 

some small comfort that 

multiple dwellings of 

multiple storeys would 

not be constructed on 

what is now rural land. 

“Nevertheless, Lincoln Voice 

will continue with our appeal 

to the Environment Court, as 

whether 1700 or 5100 houses occupy 

the land, the irreversible loss 

of scarce, highly productive soils 

remains,” Carrick said. 

The appeal would be lodged 

today, prior to the closing date 

tomorrow. As of Monday, Lincoln 

Voice had raised $11,276 towards 

its overall goal of $150,000 to 

tree trouble?

fight the plan change in the Environment 

Court. 

Carter Group director Tim 

Carter has given an assurance 

the 1710-section subdivision will 

be restricted to one dwelling per 

section. 

He said Carter Group’s vision 

for Lincoln South was to be “the 

low-density area of Lincoln.” 

“The medium density housing 

provisions, in our view, 

will potentially change the 

character of everywhere 

in Lincoln except Lincoln 

South,” Carter said. 

The specific conditions 

of PC69 mean it can not 

Denise develop beyond 1710 households 

without an Integrated 

Carrick 

Transport Assessment to 

assess the transport effects of any 

development beyond this level. 

However, Carter Group has no 

plans to pursue such an assessment. 

Other plan changes to be 

included in the proposed district 

plan variation, as they have 

recently had a decision made on 

them by the district council, are 

P68 and PC72 in Prebbleton, and 

PC71, PC73, PC75, PC76 and

Morton said he heard voices 

while standing at the side of his 

house on Central Ave around 

midnight. He walked to the front, 

and shouted “Oi” as he saw the

He ran as fast as he could after 

them for about 100m, along 

Central Ave, into Pointsman Pl, 

to the vicinity of the Prebbleton 

skate park. 

“It was just one of those spur

could catch them,” Morton said. 

He went back to get his car, 

which had been parked on 

the street outside his home. In 

the middle of the road, where 

the chase had begun, he saw a 

Samsung smartphone and pair of 

sunglasses. It appeared these had

The phone appeared to be uncharged

pair had gained access to the car 

by smashing the rear triangle 

window, as this was broken. 

Morton drove around Prebbleton 

in the car to try and locate 

the pair, but was unsuccessful. 

He said he was not sure what 

he would have done if he had of 

caught them, although thought 

maybe he could have sat on one 

of them and phoned the police. 

He said he and his wife reported 

the incident to police shortly 

afterwards as he returned home. 

He estimated the pair were 

aged 15 to 18, and were of slim to 

medium build. The one he had 

got closest to was about 173cm, 

wearing a grey top and black 

shorts. 

Morton is no stranger to keeping 

an eye out for criminals, having 

been a volunteer for the City 

to Sumner Community Watch 

Patrol when he lived in Christchurch. 

During the 10 years that 

he belonged to the group, he said 

he had never before come across 

someone in the act of breaking 

into a vehicle. 

He said it was sad to see youth 

criminals, probably from outside 

the area, coming into Prebbleton 

and rampaging through the 

town as they had done on Friday. 

Prebbleton was a lovely community, 

which was one of the 

reasons he and his family had 

moved there in the first place. 

“It’s horrible, at the moment we 

are a reasonably small township,” 

Morton said.

Study finds nitrate 


SPRINGSTON resident Mike 

Glover is helping researchers 

discover whether rising nitrate 

levels are a risk factor in 

premature births. 

Glover has organised an 

event for Wednesday next week, 

Community Nitrate Testing, 

where Selwyn 

residents on 

private wells are 

invited to bring 

along a drinking 

water sample and 

pay $10 to have it 

tested. 

He said those 

getting their 

water tested can 

have the results included as part 

of a new study being undertaken 

by Otago University if they wish. 

The names and addresses of 

the participants would not be 

recorded, only the nitrate level 

of the water sample and general 

area it had been sourced 

from. 

The university researchers 

plan to create a national database 

of contaminants in drinking 

water in New Zealand for the 

first time. They received a $1.2 

million grant for the research 

after mounting evidence from 

overseas suggested nitrate was 

linked to pre-term births. 

“It needs more study, and the 

problem with a lot of private 

wells in New Zealand, there’s no 

database, it’s up to individual 

people to get their testing done,” 

Glover said. 

He himself was on a private 

well, where nitrate levels had 

skyrocketed in recent years, from 

0.5mg per litre to 5mg per litre. 

“That’s a bit scary for me,” 

Glover said. 

While the level remained 


risk on pre-term birth 

Mike 

Glover 

lower than New Zealand’s 

official Maximum Acceptable 

Value of 11.3mg per litre, the 

upward trajectory concerned 

him. And levels at much lower 

than the MAV – in fact as low 

as 1mg per litre – had been 

associated with bowel cancer 

risk in previous research. 

Nitrate contamination is 

mainly driven by pastoral 

farming. The most affected 

parts of New Zealand are those 

with intensive agriculture, 

such as Canterbury and 

Southland. Nitrates leaching 

into groundwater, from dairy 

farming in particular, has 

increased substantially since 

1990. 

Glover said the Community 

Nitrate Testing day was being 

supported by New Zealand 

Federation of Freshwater 

Anglers, which was providing 

the testing equipment. The $10 

cost was to cover expenses. 

• Community nitrate 

testing will be held 

on August 10, at the 

Springston South Soldiers 

Memorial Hall, 433 Days 

Rd, Springston, from 

2-6pm.

Call for council to avoid 

chlorination of water 


A GROUP of residents is calling 

for the district council to avoid 

chlorination of drinking water. 

The district council is undertaking 

a $2 million upgrade 

of supplies with chlorination 

equipment, as it strives to meet 

the requirements of the Water 

Services Act 2021. 

The act requires all councils 

to be able to chlorinate public 

drinking water supplies, and 

begin chlorination by November 

15, unless they have an exemption 

from the Government’s 

new drinking water regulator 

Taumata Arowai. 

Residents Kerry Willis and 

Heather Morten talked to district 

councillors in the public forum 

section of their fortnightly meeting 

last week. They said they had 

more than 900 signatures on a 

petition against chlorination. 

Willis claimed that while 

chlorine was the cheapest form 

of disinfection, it did not kill all 

micro-organisms and had health 

and environmental affects. 

“Chlorine-free drinking 

water has been achieved in the 

Netherlands and Denmark as 

their residents place high value 

on chlorine free water,either due 

to health concerns or because the 

source is already high quality. 

Therefore where we have high 

quality sources we should make 


an effort to keep them as natural 

as possible,” he said, reading 

from a letter by the group to 

district councillors. 

While the district council was 

bound by the regulations, it also 

had an obligation to protect the 

well being of its community, he 

said. 

“We really need central government 

to hear our voices and 

that we do not want chlorination 

in our water.” 

Morten said many people had 

chosen to live in Selwyn because 

of its “beautiful water.” People 

would not only be drinking 

chlorine, but breathing it in and 

absorbing it through their skin 

while showering and bathing. 

Her organic vegetable garden 

would no longer be organic, as it 

would have chlorine put onto it 

through watering. 

Taumata Arowai was established 

in accordance with 

a recommendation from a 

Government inquiry into the 

2016 poisoning of at least 5000 

Havelock North residents from 

contaminated water. The contamination 

was connected to the 

death of four of the residents. 

Mayor Sam Broughton 

told Willis and Morten the 

district council was applying 

for exemptions. Staff would be 

updating district councillors on 

the chlorination issue.

WHITECLIFFS area residents 

are fundraising to restore a 

140-year-old school building to 

its former glory. 

South Malvern Community 

Charitable Trust has repointed 

chimneys and installed new 

weatherboards at the former 

South Malvern School, which 

operated from 1883 to 1960. 

Chair Liz Weir said the building 

was structurally sound and 

had survived the February 22, 

2011 earthquake, but had suffered 

water damage over many 

years as it fell into disrepair. 

The category 2 Heritage New 

Zealand building was important 

to Whitecliffs, as it represented 

a significant period in the area’s 

industrial history. 

Two years ago, a local family 

who wants to remain anonymous 

bought the property on 

behalf of the community. Once 

completed, it will be a community 

hall and civil defence hub. 

Weir said it had been difficult 

to fundraise during the pandemic. 

The long-term goal was 

to renovate the whole building, 

including the interior. 

Local tradespeople had volunteered 

their time and expertise, 

timber and roofing companies 

had provided discounted materials,

Single mum sets up 

support network 



STRUGGLING as a 

single parent gave Emma 

McGilchrist an idea. 

The Dunsandel mum 

of four children, aged 12 to 

16, started Helping Hand, 

a free social service to 

help others. 

“When I 

became a 

single parent I 

realised how 

hard life can 

actually be,” McGilchrist 

said. 

Finding herself with no 

family support after her 

marriage breakdown and 

moving from the North 

Island in 2018, she had set 

about rebuilding her life. 

“I had to buy a car as we 

were left with no vehicle, I 

had to get a loan to move 

the children and myself to 

the South Island. I had to 

start from the bottom and 

work my way upwards,” 

she said. 

“I realised how alone I 

actually was, there was no 

one to help me, no one to 

offer support, no one to 

help with appointments, 

no one to help me with 

HELPING: 

Emma 

McGilchrist, 

with her son 

Thomas. 

anything. Everything 

was on me.” 

McGilchrist estimated 

she had helped more than 

20 people in Dunsandel, 

Leeston, Rolleston and 

Christchurch since 

establishing Helping Hand 

about two years ago. 

She hosts a coffee group 

most weeks from her 

Dunsandel home, where 

people drop in for a chat. 

“I want people to know 

that when things are tough 

or if you need something or 

someone that I am here.” 

She also helps people 

by picking up groceries 

or medications, doing 

odd jobs for them, 

making appointments 

for them, distributing 

donated items such as 

kitchenware and school 

uniforms, and giving 

out small food parcels 

she makes up herself on 

her modest income as a 

student and part-time 

cleaner. McGilchrist is 

studying psychology and 

counselling. 

Recently, her son 

Thomas Roe had made 

her proud by becoming 

a member of the Selwyn 

Youth Council. 

“It’s trickling down 

the family, the giving to 

others,” she said. 

McGilchrist urged 

anyone wanting to get 

in touch do so via her 

Helping Hand page 

on Facebook.

AN AMBITIOUS farmers’ 

collective at Ellesmere will be 

celebrating successes of the past 

year at its upcoming annual 

meeting. 

Ellesmere Sustainable Agriculture 

Inc chair Tim Chamberlain 

said the collective and its associated 

Project Tinaku had made 

huge strides across the area, 

increasing biodiversity, enhancing 

the natural environment, 

upskilling and supporting farmers, 

educating young people and 

providing employment. 

He was expecting a big turnout 

of local farmers to the AGM 

on Monday next week, 7pm, at 

Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall 

in Leeston. 

“ESAI and Tinaku have gone 

from strength to strength, and 

developed from a modest catchment 

group to an influential 

farmers collective that is making 

an impact far beyond the district’s 

boundaries,” Chamberlain 

said. 

“We have always been an 

ambitious group with a strong 

vision, but even in our wildest 

dreams, we could not have expected 

how many people would 

benefit from our work in just a 

few years,” Chamberlain said. 

Project Tinaku, now in its 

third year, was established with 

a $2.2 million grant from the 

Ministry of Primary Industries’ 

jobs for nature programme. 

In the last year alone, it has 

provided primary and secondary 

employment for more than 35 

people. 

“Employment has occurred 

directly through staff working 

on the project, as well as local 

contractors that have been employed 

to carry out restoration 

work, fencing and weed control,” 

Chamberlain said. 

The project had also increased 

its sponsorship of Ellesmere 

College students, from six to 

10 students, to gain expertise 

and knowledge to pursue 

employment in the agriculture 

sector through the gateways 

programme. 


“What has been really amazing 

is to see many of the gateway 

students finding work with ESAI 

members and other rural businesses 

in the area, which fulfils 

both our education and employment 

objectives,” Chamberlain 

said. 

At primary school level, the 

project has been partnering with 

Te Ara Kakariki to run kids 

discovery plant out days and biodiversity 

monitoring field trips 

with both Southbridge School 

and Leeston Consolidated 

School. 

The planting trips had been 

a “wonderful addition” to the 

extensive restoration projects 

Tinaku had been working on 

over the past two years. About 

25,000 natives had been planted 

across 39 sites on 25 members’ 

farms in 2021 alone. These projects 

cover around 5ha of land 

along nearly 7km of waterways. 

ESAI this year received additional 

funding to survey its 

members to better understand 

their individual situations and 

uncover common threads and 

trends. Results showed where 

members wanted to improve 

their skills and knowledge, and 

as a result there were 13 events 

which included topics such as 

financial advice and succession 

planning, chainsaw safety and

Rates accounts and 

payment options 

Rates invoices for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 September 2023 

should have arrived in your letterboxes or inboxes. 

You can check out the changes in your rates, by visiting 

selwyn.govt.nz/rates and clicking on property search. 

WANT TO VOTE? 

CHECK YOU’RE ENROLLED 

Local elections are coming up in October and the deadline for checking you’re enrolled to vote is 

coming up soon. 

Selwyn residents 18 or older and who are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident are eligible to 

vote, if they are enrolled on the parliamentary electoral roll. 

But you need to make sure your enrolments details are correct by Friday 12 August. 

Everyone on the electoral roll should have received an enrolment pack from the Electoral Commission 

last month. If your details were correct – then you don’t need to do anything. 

If you haven't received an enrolment update pack in the mail by now it may mean you’re not enrolled, 

or your details are not up to date. This could be because you’ve recently moved into the district, 

changed addresses, or have turned 18 – and you’ll need to update your details. To enrol or update 

your details, visit vote.nz or call 0800 36 76 56. 

You can also check a copy of the preliminary electoral roll at the Council offices or any Selwyn library, 

as well as the Arthur’s Pass Store, Dunsandel Store, or Tai Tapu Store. 

If you miss the 12 August deadline, but you‘re eligible to vote, you can still vote but you’ll have to 

request special voting papers from the Council’s electoral officer. 

If you own property in Selwyn district but live in another district you may be able to enrol as a nonresident 

ratepayer elector and vote in both areas. Check your eligibility and get more information at 

the Ratepayer Elector Enrolment Portal on the Council’s website at selwyn.govt.nz/elections. 

Selwyn deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill is encouraging residents to check their enrolment early 

and make sure they have everything in order to be able to vote. 

“Councils get to make decisions that affect every Selwyn resident, and have a big impact on the 

community – including the services that residents receive and what they cost,” he says. 

“Local elections are your chance to have a say and help shape Selwyn’s future.” 

New toilet funding a boost for visitor experience 

Visitors to several popular Selwyn locations will enjoy a more comfortable experience after the Ministry 

of Business, Innovation and Employment approved funding for toilet and car park upgrades. 

Nearly $300,000 has been granted from MBIE’s Tourism Infrastructure Fund for new or upgraded 

toilets at the Darfield Grain Shed, Waimakariri Gorge and the Little River Rail Trail, and car park 

improvements at Joyce Reserve in Glentunnel, and at Lake Lyndon Reserve. 

The existing old concreate toilet block at the Grain Shed, beside the historic jail site in Darfield, will be 

demolished and a new block installed. 

At Waimakariri Gorge the existing facility will also be replaced with a new one, and the location will be 

moved closer to the road access. 

On the Little River Rail Trail a brand new toilet 

block will be built about midway between 

Lincoln and Motukarara, close to the 

Ahuriri Lagoon. 

Council Community Projects manager Cam 

Warr says this facility will be a welcome 

addition for cyclists, who otherwise face a 15 

kilometre stretch between the 

two settlements. 

If you pay by direct debit, you should have received information on 

your new direct debit in a separate letter. If you’re on direct debit then, 

provided you have sufficient funds in your bank account to cover the 

payments on the due dates, you will not be 

charged penalties. 

For ratepayers not on a direct debit, rates are payable in four 

instalments – 15 September 2022, 15 December 2022, 15 March 

2023 and 15 June 2023. Penalties are charged on instalments not 

paid in full by the due dates and there is a further penalty if rates are 

not paid by 30 June 2023 

Your rates invoice details the rates assessed for your property for 

both the Council and Environment Canterbury. The Council assesses 

a general rate, based on your property’s capital value, district-wide 

targeted rates, plus other targeted rates based on where you live, or 

the services you receive. We also act as agent for the collection of 

Environment Canterbury rates within Selwyn. 

The average rates increase for the 2022/23 year is 6%, however 

this will vary for individual properties. Rates take account of capital 

values, as well any changes to your property, for example if you have 

built a house on your section, or if you have changed your 

wheelie bins. 

For more information about rates, including forms and payment 

options, visit selwyn.govt.nz/rates or phone 0800 SELWYN (735 996) 

Apply for a rates rebate 

Ratepayers who are on a low income and who pay rates on 

the property they live in may be eligible for a rates rebate. 

If your gross household income to 31 March 2022 was 

$28,080 or less, and you pay rates on the property where 

you live, you may qualify for a rebate. 

If your income was more than this, you may still be eligible, 

depending on the total cost of your rates and the number of 

dependents in your family. 

To find out if you are eligible for a rates rebate, and to 

download forms, visit ratesrebates.govt.nz. Forms are also 

available from Council service centres. If you received a 

rates rebate last year you will automatically be sent an 

application form. 

To apply, you will need to provide accurate details and 

copies of your gross income, and that of any partner/ 

spouse/joint homeowner who lives with you, for the tax 

year ended 31 March 2022. You can apply for your rebate 

at any Council service centre.

In Darfield, the township committee has 

supported the toilet upgrade at the Grain 

Shed site, which is well used by the local 

community and visitors to the historic Darfield Jail. 

Cam says the TIF funding has made a big difference to visitor facilities around the district in recent 

years. “It has been really valuable in allowing us to improve and enhance the experience of travellers 

and tourists exploring our district,” he says. 

“It’s amazing how much we have managed to achieve with this fund – either bringing forward projects 

to upgrade assets earlier or putting place new assets we would otherwise have struggled to fund.” 

Previous TIF projects have included campground and toilet upgrades at locations including Lakeside 

Domain, Coes Ford, Lake Coleridge, Hororata Domain and Springston.

Rabbit control operation Rhodes Park 

A rabbit control operation is under way in Rhodes 

Park, Tai Tapu Domain. The operation, using baited 

carrots in the bush area, will run until mid-August 

(weather dependent). Rabbits are a continuing 

problem in the park causing damage to plants and 

playing fields. Night shooting and trapping have not 

been effective in controlling the pest. Park users 

should not touch baited carrots (they will be green 

in colour) or allow dogs to eat or remove them. 

Domestic animals are less susceptible than rabbits 

but may still be at risk from large doses.

Darfield Kirwee Wastewater Pipeline – Courtenay Road closure 

Courtenay Road in Kirwee, from just south of the railway line to SH73, remains closed 

until early September. Vehicle access between Kirwee and properties to the south is via 

a detour along Bealey Road. Pedestrian access is available from Courtenay Road direct 

to the township. The closure is for the installation of pipes under the railway line and will be the last one 

required as part of this project. 

The final stage of the project will be the installation of the pipeline under SH73 at the pumpstation site 

in Kirwee. This will happen once Courtenay Road is reopened. Traffic lights will be in place while that 

work is under way, but no road closure. All completion dates are approximate depending on weather 

Weedons Ross Road seal widening 

The road is now fully open to two-way traffic from Kingsdowne Drive to Maddisons Road. A shoulder 

closure is now in place for Orion contract works, on the Newtons Road intersection through to early 

August. Manual four-way stop/go will be required on some days. Please follow signs and controls for the 

safety of all road users and workers. 

Other repairs and upgrades 

Flood damage repairs are continuing in a number of locations across the district 

including Wainiwaniwa Road, Algidus Road, Kowai Road, Whitecliffs Road. Ford 

repairs are continuing at Adams Road, Storeys Road and Lambs Road, and these fords 

are closed. 

Unsealed road maintenance and grading are under way at Northbank Road, Rakaia

Darfield supporters celebrate. 

Darfield’s Sheldon Reed takes off with Prebbleton’s Tim 

Hudson hot on his tail. 

Controversial end to shield final 

• By Chris Barclay 

DARFIELD CREATED history 

by winning the Coleman Shield, 

a symbol of Ellesmere Rugby 

Sub-Union club supremacy 

for the first time, with a 

controversial last-minute victory 

extending Prebbleton’s wait for 

the crown. 

In fading light and heavy rain 

at Darfield Domain, the hosts 

overcame an early 17-0 deficit to 

snatch a 27-26 triumph with the 

last play of an enthralling final 

on Saturday. 

The contest ended in dramatic 

circumstances when Alister 

Collins was able to retake his 

match-winning conversion after 

his initial attempt was booted 

off the kicking tee by charging 

Prebbleton players. 

Referee Eden Brown ruled 

Prebbleton broke from the 

goal line before Collins started 

his approach – they were then 

barred from charging the second 

attempt, which the fullback 

coolly converted, sparking 

wild scenes. Footage of Collins’ 

first attempt indicated he 

motioned towards the ball but 

Darfield manager Scott Mitchell 

explained he was moving in to 

the perfect ball placement, not 

actually strike it. 

“He walked in to line it up and 

they thought he was walking in 

to kick it,” said Mitchell. 

Blair McIlroy charges in with head down. 

“It took a bit of pressure off 

when they couldn’t charge. It’s 

one you expect to get, but they’re 

probably the worst actually 

sometimes.” 

Prebbleton players remonstrated 

with Brown but coach 

Dave Kettles was diplomatic. 

“I don’t want to go into that, 

the officials get a hard enough 

time. The referee said he (Collins) 

hadn’t approached the ball. 

We just want to congratulate 

Darfield,” he said. 

Collins was set up to celebrate 

his 50th-game for the club in 

style when centre Toby Kars 

sliced through a stretched 

defensive line to dive over about 

15-metres to the right of the 

posts. 

Kars scored nine phases 

after a tap penalty as Darfield 

applied concerted pressure after 

botching a close range lineout. 

However, Prebbleton could 

not clear their line, conceded 

a 5m scrum and the top 

qualifiers patient approach paid 

dividends. 

Alister Collins leaps up to get the ball before 

Cameron Hay, both were playing in their 

50th match. 

“It’s unreal, especially leaving 

it to the last play of the game,” 

said Mitchell, who was unfazed 

by the opening quarter setback. 

“We felt if we got ball in hand 

we’d be okay. We scored shortly 

after that and that probably 

relaxed a few people, we got 

into a bit of structure then,” he 

said. 

Prebbleton led 20-13 at the 

break and kicked ahead again 

through two penalties after Darfield 

had drawn level. 

Kettles was philosophical after 

his side fell agonisingly short of 

being the first squad to win the 

competition for Prebbleton since 

1974. 

“They’ve never won it so we’re 

really happy for them, and disappointed 

for us. Our time will 

come,” he said. 

“It’s an 80-minute game. 

Credit to them. They kept clawing 

their way back. 

“They phased up pretty well, 

they just waited and waited and 

waited for the opportunity and 

when it came they took it.” 

Hamish Pauling pushes through Kerry Gray. 

Yuta Ohata clears the ball. 

Jared Kars tackles Cameron Hay 

around the waist.

Headache trotter 

finally matures 

• By Joshua Smith 

MAKE MY Sundon was 

rewarded for her consistency 

at Addington Raceway on 

Sunday when taking out the 

Paul Renwick Joinery Winter 

Rewards Handicap Trot 

(2600m). 

Inherited from breeder 

Wayne Jennens, Make My 

Sundon has proven to be 

somewhat of a headache for 

Rolleston-based trainer-owners 

Anne-Marie and Jack Best over 

the last few seasons, but she has 

finally matured and on Sunday 

recorded her third win in the 

last two months. 

“We have always known that 

she had the ability but every 

now and then she would get 

stuck in her head and let us 

down, but now she has really 

picked up,” Anne-Marie Best 

said. 

“We have done a few 

alterations like different 

shoeing. John Dunn has done 

an amazing job driving her and 

helping out Jack and I.” 

Dunn drove the six-year-old 

mare to perfection on Sunday, 

settling handy three back in the 

running line before presenting 

her at the turn where she was 

able to run away to a 2-1/2 

length victory. 

It was a great result for the 

Bests who enjoyed the added 

bonus of running for a $20,000 

purse as a result of the Winter 

Rewards series. 

“It is great that they have 

created the series, because they 

really needed to do something 

to keep us excited and keep the 

game going,” Best said. 

While Make My Sundon is in 

a purple patch of form, Best said 

she is keen to progress through 

the winter with the mare. 

“We will sit down and make 

a plan. She seems to race better 

in the winter, she does come 

into season quite a lot in the 

summer,” Best said. 

“She is in a really good place 

at the moment, so we will box 

on and keep her going.” 

The Bests only have a couple 

of horses in work at present, but 

they are set to welcome a few 

youngsters back to their barn in 

the coming weeks. 

“I am not keen getting up 

early in the morning working a 

lot of horses at the moment, it is 

so cold here,” Best said. 

“We have only got two in at 

the moment and we have got 

quite a few young ones that will 

come back in August.”

Cancer campaign close 

to home for Moody 

ALL BLACKS and Crusaders 

prop Joe Moody is lending his 

support to the Harness Racing 

New Zealand Prostate Cancer 

Foundation’s Blue September 

campaign. 

The 33-year-old, who played 

division one for Lincoln for 

several seasons, will be a special 

HRNZ ambassador for the 

month. 

The annual campaign is all 

about increasing awareness and 

raising funds for prostate cancer 

research and treatment. 

For Moody it’s a subject that’s 

very personal. His father Tony 

Moody died from prostate cancer 

in July 2020. 

It’s estimated that 10 per cent 

of New Zealand men will develop 

prostate cancer at some time in 

their life. 

Moody has been involved in 

raising funds for the Prostate 

Cancer Foundation before. 

After becoming the 19th 

Crusader to play 100 games 

he auctioned his signed 

playing jersey on Trade Me. 

It eventually sold for $11,050, 

with all proceeds going to the 

foundation. 

Ten harness racing drivers 

will also be ambassadors during 

the month. For every win they 

have wearing their Blue September 

pants funds will be raised, thanks 

AMBASSADOR: 

Joe Moody is 

supporting the 

Harness Racing 

New Zealand 

Prostate Cancer 

Foundation’s 

Blue September 

campaign. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

to the support of HRNZ, harness 

racing clubs around the country, 

and drivers’ individual sponsors. 

The HRNZ campaign raised 

$20,000 last year. This is HRNZ’s 

second year being part of the 

campaign, and Moody’s first. 

“It is great to be able to support 

a cause that affects so many 

people, including myself, and to 

be able to help out in any way I 

can,” said Moody. 

Moody will be a guest 

speaker at the campaign launch 

at Addington Raceway on 

September 2, as well as attending 

some other events and race 

meetings.

Young netballers thrilled to receive grant 

THE ROLLY Robins can take 

their netball game to the next 

level after being awarded an 

ANZ netball grant. 

The grants give netballers 

across New Zealand an 

opportunity to apply for 

anything they need to continue 

playing the game they love – 

from uniforms and training gear 

to resurfaced courts and moneycan’t-buy 

experiences. 

Coach and parent Phia Venter 

applied for a grant because the 

netball courts the Rolly Robins 

used for training had “no 

lights, no running water and no 

electricity”. 

They were awarded the hire of 

an indoor court and gear to help 

them get into training, which 

Venter said “immediately took 

the pressure off,” she said. 

Venter was concerned about 

the financial burden hiring a 

better court would place on the 

families and was “gobsmacked” 

to receive a grant. 

“I was having a panic attack 

about telling the parents they 

had to pay more money to use 

better courts, when ANZ called. 

Divine intervention is what it’s 

called. 

“I didn’t want the parents to 

face the financial burden that 

would come from using the 

indoor centre. Some of the 

girls might have had to drop 

out.” 

The Rolly Robins is made up 

of 10 and 11 year-old girls from 

schools around Rolleston. Venter 

said the team was established 

to teach the players about 

teamwork and to build a 

community. 

“It’s not just netball, it’s 

learning teamwork. You can’t 

just throw the ball to the people 

you know. It takes them out 

of their comfort zone and at a 

very young age, but these girls 

from the get-go have just been 

amazing.” 

Venter has fond memories of 

her own experiences playing 

netball. 

“At the end of this season, I 

want the girls to look back and 

say this was the best team that 

they’ve been a part of. I want 

them to carry that moment with 

them for the rest of their lives.” 

Said ANZ general manager 

marketing, Matt Pickering: 

“We’re proud to support netball 

from the grassroots clubs 

and schools in Canterbury to 

the elite players in the ANZ 

Premiership and the Silver Ferns. 

Community netball has had it 

tough over the last two years so 

we hope ANZ’s support makes 

it easier for players to continue 

playing the game they love. 

“We know it’s the clubs and 

schools across the country 

that help to nurture the next 

generation of players, and we 

hope these grants give teams 

a boost and fill them with the 

confidence to play their best 

game.” 

STEP UP: An ANZ netball grant will enable the Rolly 

Robbins to hire an indoor court. The young players had 

been training at a court with no lights, electricity or 

running water.

An ice skating rink is set up on the corner of Cashel and High Sts. Real snow has been transported to the Riverside Market car park. 

Festival offers family fun in the city 

ONCE AGAIN, the Central 

City Business Association will 

be running its Winter Festival 

‘Chill in the City’ offering 

plenty of family winter fun and 

entertainment to get everyone 

warmed up. 

The exciting four-day event 

kicks off today with ice skating, 

which runs through until Sunday, 

August 7. All other winterthemed 

activities take place 

on the Saturday and Sunday 

throughout City Mall between 

10am and 5pm daily. 

Always a popular spot, the ice 

skating rink will be set up on the 

corner of Cashel and High Sts, 

while real snow in the Riverside 

Market car park will provide for 

some hilarious toboggan rides 

and general fun in the snow. 

Other ‘Chill in the City’ 

drawcards include hug a 

husky, Disney’s frozen bouncy 

castle, and Hillary’s Hut VR 

Experience. And sure to create 

some excitement, two groovy 

disco dancers in outrageous 70s 

outfits and disco-ball heads, will 

be making some outrageous 70s 

dance moves, as they rove around 

the central city on the Saturday 

and Sunday between 11am and 

1pm. 

For some of the activities there 

will be a gold coin donation 

and there is a $5 entry onto 

the ice rink, with all proceeds 

going to the Christchurch City 

Mission. Now in its third year, the 

event has raised over $12,000 in 

the first year and over $8000 last 

year. 

This year, the winter festival 

also kicks off a new, month-long 

event called Turn Up the Heat,

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. 

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.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Farmer grazing under scrutiny 

Farmers practicing “intensive winter 

grazing” need to know how to manage the 

environmental risks that can come about 

when adverse weather hits, Environment 

Canterbury says. 

“Intensive winter grazing is a high-risk 

activity and requires good planning. 

Those practicing it need to recognise 

how to manage the risks to animal 

welfare, and preparing management 

practices to mitigate the risks of soil 

damage and nutrient loss,” ECan Regional 

Implementation Lead Tami Woods says. 

While NIWA’s outlook for winter in 

Canterbury is for relatively mild winter 

weather, rainfall can be unpredictable. 

Woods said the risk from heavy and 

persistent rain bring can be mitigated by 

having an adverse weather plan, which 

may involve having spare silage to feed 

out, or an extra runoff paddock for stock. 

This should work alongside general good 

management practices such as strategic 

grazing practices and protecting critical 

source areas or swales. 

Farmers’ approach to risk management 

is being carefully watched. This month, 

Environment Canterbury has done a trial 

flyover in Waimakariri “ to look at good 

management practices of intensive winter 

grazing”. 

It’s the first time the regional council will 

have taken to the skies to get a birds-eye 

view of winter grazing, but it’s common 

practice in other parts of the country. 

The flight was to have “regional 

implementation staff and an industry 

observer onboard” and Woods said that 

if any follow-up was required, they would 

take an education-first approach. 

“The trial will confirm the uptake 

of good management practices for 

winter grazing and identify if there 

are areas where farmers may require 

additional support. The learnings will 

help inform future use of flyovers across 

the region, which may become a tool for 

us to be confident that the appropriate 

environmental mitigations are being put in 

place,” Woods said. 

Since the adoption of the Canterbury 

Land and Water Regional Plan, regional 

council, industry bodies and farmers have 

worked to mitigate the potential adverse 

effects of intensive winter grazing. 

These measures include the use of Farm 

Environment Plans and audits to ensure 

they are appropriate and put in place. 

Changes to intensive winter grazing 

included in the government’s Essential 

Freshwater package come into force this 

November. Woods said that this winter, 

ECan’s aim was to help with the step 

change between current rules and next 

year’s regulations. 

“We’ve worked with farmers and industry 

bodies for years now about how to plan 

well for the season, so we’re confident we’ll 

see the good work put into practice onfarm,” 

she said.

Ease the load with Hyundai Staria 

THE management at Hyundai 

New Zealand must be pretty 

stoked, for not only is the 

company getting a good supply 

of interesting new product, one 

of the most exciting cars to land 

here has just won the latest New 

Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild 

Car of the Year award. 

That car is the fully electric and 

futuristic Ioniq 5, a car that I was 

fortunate enough to drive late 

last year. It certainly deserves its 

mantle. 

This evaluation doesn’t focus 

on the Ioniq 5, but it does surround 

another vehicle that stands 

out in the Hyundai stable – the 

Staria. 

Well, the Staria is actually a 

cargo carrier, it’s been designed 

as a light commercial workhorse 

and it won’t be long before you 

are seeing them in large numbers 

as fleet vehicles. The Staria is also 

here as an eight-seater people 

mover and a five-seat/van. 

I drove the eight-seater in 

March and quickly came to terms 

with its size and its role, the Staria 

is big and fits the people mover 

role perfectly, however, the twoseater 

van/Load version is the 

quintessential carryall. 

In terms of figures, the rear 

load area is capable of almost 

5000-litre capacity, it measures 

2607mm x 1640mm x 1436mm, 

that equates to around three 

pallets and the quoted payload is 

over one-tonne. 

These are all impressive figures, 

and quite obviously I didn’t test 

any of those capacities. However, 

I did utilise the vehicle somewhat 

towards its role. It was great to 

load the cricket gear in for the 

two youth teams that I’m involved 

with on any given Saturday, 

it sure beats trying to squeeze 

the gear bags into the boot of the 

Kiddie-family’s old Toyota. 

I also tested the dimensions of 

the load area, a household emergency 

necessitated the immediate 

purchase of a 2.44m sheet of Customwood 

and it slipped easily into 

the Staria, it’s width of 1.2m fitted 

neatly inside the wheel wells. For 

interest’s sake, the Load variant has 

sliding doors on both sides and a 

choice of lift-back or twin-swing 

rear door arrangement. It also has 

a 2500kg tow rating. 

You may well ask what makes 

the Staria so special, and the 

answer is because it is built on 

a sophisticated platform. The 

chassis is monocoque, unlike 

many of the ladder chassis vans 

that ply our roads. In four-wheeldrive 

people mover form, a fully 

independent suspension hangs 

off that integrated structure, in 

cargo-carrying form the rear 

suspension is by means of leaf 

springs, drive is channelled to the 

front only. 

That matters little, many of the 

COMFORT: The Staria has a car-like driving environment. 

HYUNDAI STARIA LOAD: Dramatic looks as well as practicality. 

vans in today’s market drive out 

the front, the Staria’s driveline is 

well proven and very familiar, see 

the engine is the 2.2-litre fourcylinder 

turbocharged diesel that 

powers other models out of the 

Hyundai and Kia stables. I always 

write about how smooth and silent 

this engine is, it is also real gem in 

terms of power and capability. 

Hyundai rates it with 130kW 

and 430Nm, figures down a little 

on the same engine that powers 

the Pallisade, but you wouldn’t 

know it when it comes to power 

and acceleration. When empty, 

the Staria feels like a sports car as 

momentum increases, it will cut 

out a standstill to 100km/h time 

in 9sec. There are drive modes 

that will help with momentum, 

there’s a sport mode that will keep 

the engine soaring nicely if you 

are making that courier delivery 

over the Akaroa hill. 

More importantly in a vehicle 

like this and with fuel prices soaring 

through the roof, Hyundai 

rates the 2199cc unit with a 

seven-litre per 100km combined 

cycle average, if you are in the 

driving seat for days at a time, it’s 

not going hurt the wallet as much 

as it could when you fill up. It’s 

also important to note the Staria 

has a 75-litre tank, so fill-ups 

aren’t frequent. 

All of these tempting figures 

arrive through the sophistication 

of the transmission. Not only is 

the engine one my favourites, the 

eight-speed automatic gearbox 

is also a real honey in terms of 

• Price – Hyundai Staria 

Load, $62,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5253mm; width, 1997mm; 

height, 2000mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

2199cc, 130kW, 

430Nm, eight-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9sec 

• Fuel usage – 7/100km 

refinement, shifts are short and 

crisp and, as mentioned, it works 

well with the engine mapping 

protocols that give you the choice 

of economical, normal or sporty 

motoring. 

It’s important that all of these 

subtle ingredients combine well, 

the Staria load is a workhorse so 

it will likely be used by a single 

operator the majority of the time, 

and that person will need to be 

comfortable. 

In terms of convenience the 

Staria gets a lot of high-tech kit, 

it’s fair to say the people mover 

has the most kit, but the Load 

doesn’t miss out on much, and it 

even gets a five-star Australasian 

New Car Assessment Program 

safety rating. 

All of these ingredients add to 

the driveability of the Staria Load, 

I had the evaluation vehicle for 

a week spending a lot of time in 

the inner-city environment, and I 

can report that even at 5.2m it is 

manoeuvrable, sure you do have 

to take into account it won’t fit in 

a standard metered car park, but 

other than that it has a good lock 

and won’t be a problem in tight 

confines. 

If you are a courier driver looking 

at a Staria on an everyday 

basis then it won’t disappoint, the 

cabin is almost luxurious with a 

heap of cubby holes and storage 

compartments. My only suggestion 

would be the sensible option 

of a containing mesh behind the 

two seats to stop loads falling 

forward in the inevitable heavy 

braking event. 

It’s also fair to say that when 

the Staria is empty, there’s not 

too much of a bounding motion, 

and when it comes to transporting 

cargo it settles and provides a 

smooth, controlled ride. 

I had a complete fortnight with 

the two Starias, during that time 

I clocked up a decent distance 

in both and came away quite 

impressed with the quality of 

manufacture and civilised operation 

of both. 

The Load van sits at $62,990 

($59,990 manual), although that 

is without any kind of fit-out. It 

is price-competitive in a market 

dominated by long-serving 

brands. 

Although Hyundai has 

established itself in the light 

commercial market with its 

iLoad, the Staria will expand 

on that dramatically. It’s the van 

you would want when you want 

space, and with its dramatic looks 

it will be the envy of many.

Handy Lifestyle Dream 

Available for immediate possession, this 2014 home offers a 

cracking layout which is positioned well for the sun, and with 

so many windows and doors, the living spaces are flooded with 

natural light. 

Two defined seating areas along with the dining area, are 

seamlessly connected to the fresh modern kitchen, which 

boasts a double fridge space plus 90cm oven and cooktop. 

You’ll be keen to settle in before the middle of winter, as the log 

burner provides a wonderful cosy spot to curl up near. 

Three of the four bedrooms are generous doubles, with the 

fourth bedroom a good size single and the master suite offers a 

WIR and sleek ensuite with tiled shower, with another featured 

in the family bathroom. With calming neutral décor throughout, 

this lovely home is move-in ready, and the double internal 

access garage is ready for your everyday vehicles, whilst the 

2-bay barn up the back can accommodate a horse float, caravan, 

trailer, or boat. There’s also a lean to for wood or hay storage. 

You’ll love the wrap around deck which is easily accessed from 

the living rooms and master suite, and it even features a built-in 

BBQ area - great for summer entertaining. Fully fenced, and 

zoned for popular Weedons Primary School, where the school 

bus will literally pick your children up from the front gate! Life 

couldn’t get any better.

Natural hazards to watch 

out for when buying a home 

When buying a home, it can be easy to focus 

on the renovated kitchen or the north-facing 

deck, but it’s important to consider how the 

property might stand up to a natural disaster. 

For many New Zealanders, the first 

thing that comes to mind is an earthquake. 

“As Kiwis, we know all too well how 

much damage a shake can do to our 

homes,”“However, there are plenty of 

other hazards mother nature may throw 

at us, including tsunamis, volcanic 

eruptions and hydrothermal activity 

such as hydrothermal eruptions, ground 

subsidence and gas emissions.” 

Other calamities include a fire, flood, 

storm damage or even a tornado. When 

working to identify natural hazards that 

might affect a home, the best place to 

start is to get the property inspected by an 

appropriately qualified professional. This 

will give buyers an idea of any damage 

from past natural events. 

“Check that they’ll consider how 

chimneys, foundations and retaining walls 

might perform or be affected by natural 

hazards. Ask them to comment on the 

maintenance of the house,” 

“If the home is being sold by a licensed 

real estate salesperson, buyers can ask 

them anything they want to know about 

the property. The agent can’t withhold any 

information they know.” 

The local council is another great 

resource, as they should have information 

about any hazards present at the address. 

Some of this information may be available 

free of charge, but it can be a good idea to 

pay for a land information memorandum 

(LIM) report, which will provide buyers 

with a fuller picture of that property. 

“It’s also important to find out about 

the history of the home, including 

whether it has been the subject of an EQC 

[Earthquake Commission] claim and 

whether that claim has been resolved,” 

Natural disasters do happen, so to 

be protected against damage or loss it’s 

important to insure a property. Buyers 

should call around different insurers to get 

quotes for the house they’re considering. 

“Banks and other lenders usually require 

the place to be insured from settlement 

date, so an ‘uninsurable’ house can cause 

trouble,” 

Buyers should also understand how the 

risks that affect a home might change over 

time. 

“For example, insurance companies 

are reassessing how they cover coastal or 

clifftop properties due to the growing risk 

of environmental damage. This means 

that the cost of premiums may increase, 

exclusions may be added, or insurance 

cover may be withdrawn for some 

properties as the risk changes.” 

When drawing up a pros and cons list 

for a property, consider features that make 

a home safer or more at risk during a 

natural event. For example, a roof that’s 

lightweight and well secured will stand 

up better in a storm. A tall, unbraced 

chimney made from brick or concrete may 

suffer damage or collapse in a quake. 

Identifying potential risks should be 

part of the due diligence process before 

making an offer, and house hunters can 

find a list of natural hazards to look out for 

on the Real Estate Authority’s independent 

website for buyers and sellers, settled.govt. 

nz. 

“Of course, this doesn’t cover everything 

that may be relevant to a particular buyer 

or property, which is why it’s important to 

get advice from a lawyer or conveyancer, 

or other registered professionals, before 

signing on the dotted line,”

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Keep warm and 

healthy this winter 

Your family’s health is important during 

winter, in particular, as damp cold houses 

can have a huge effect particularly for the 

very young, elderly and those who are ill. 

Make sure your home is warm, ideally 

between 18 and 21 degrees. Reducing 

the draughts in your home will help as 

they are a major way that buildings can 

lose heat by up to 25 per cent. Close the 

curtains when the sun goes down and trim 

any trees that prevent the sun getting into 

your home. 

Keeping your home dry is also very 

important. The average family home can 

produce around 12 litres of water a day. 

A portable dehumidifier can remove 

moisture and ideally should be placed in 

the coldest part of your home. Reducing 

the amount of moisture helps with people 

who are allergic and prevents mould, 

moisture and condensation on the 

windows. 

In-home ventilation systems replace 

the damp air inside your homes with 

dry, filtered air controlling condensation 

and excess moisture. There is plenty of 

information online about the different 

brands and sizes. 

Try not to dry clothes indoors as this 

creates moisture in the air. Drying them 

outside is not only free from the cost 

of electricity but sunlight kills bacteria, 

making your clothes healthier for you and 

your family. If it is raining use a shed or 

garage as an alternative. 

If you use a clothes dryer, make sure 

your clothes are properly spun first and 

either vent it outside or leave windows 

open. 

To reduce moisture caused by steam, 

always open a window when you are 

showering and when you are cooking on 

the stove top. Use pot lids to reduce the 

amount of steam escaping. Keep doors to 

bedrooms closed at these times as steam 

can make beds damp. 

Finally insulation can make a huge 

difference to keeping your house 

warm and save on heating costs. The 

Government has subsidies available, 

including the EnergyWise Home Grants, 

to help with ceiling and floor insulation, 

draught stopping and hot water cylinder 

wraps. Visit www.energywise.govt.nz.

Bayleys Selwyn – bringing 

the hammer down on the 

real estate auction process 

The goal of any residential property 

auction campaign is to sell on auction 

day. However, Bayleys’ unmatched 

deep understanding and utilisation 

of the auction process as a proven 

sales method with a three-stage 

process, is invaluable in achieving a 

higher degree of success compared to 

all other methods of sale. 

Data from Bayleys sales nationwide 

shows after 28 days on the market, 

your property is 67 percent more 

likely to have been unconditionally 

sold by taking it to auction rather 

than through any other sales method. 

It’s important to remember that 

your valued property will only sell if 

you as the owner are happy with the 

price. 

Auctions present a clear timeline 

to the market and encourage 

urgency amongst the buyer pool. 

Auctions focus on achieving 

unconditional bids/offers on 

the auction date. This helps you 

gain certainty to make your next 

steps. This contrasts with other 

methods of sale which often result 

in conditional offers which extend 

timelines and increase uncertainty. 

So, what happens if your 

property asset doesn’t sell on auction 

day? If your property does not sell 

unconditionally before or on the 

allocated auction day, then you can 

trigger the next wave of activity by 

switching to secondary methods of 

sale. These open up the opportunity 

to buyers who absolutely require 

conditions. 

Importantly at this stage, the initial 

auction campaign process will have 

uncovered insightful price feedback 

directly from the market to aid your 

decision when setting a price level for 

the secondary marketing methods. 

You can trust that Bayleys’ awardwinning 

auctioneers are always striving 

to get you the best possible sales result 

for your property – regardless of what 

is happening in the wider property 

market. 

Leading the Bayleys Canterbury 

auction team is National Auction 

Manager Conor Patton, who won 

the Real Estate Institute of New 

Zealand National Auctioneering 

Championship Award and the LVD 

World Auctioneering Championship 

Award in 2021, and 2022. 

Conor has an extensive background 

in real estate sales - which has 

empowered him with an in-depth 

appreciation for, and understanding of, 

the considerable groundwork which 

goes on behind the scenes to prepare 

for each and every auction. Conor 

has exceptional negotiation skills he 

works hard to ensure all parties are 

comfortable and confident, and that 

every ounce of value is drawn from the 

process. 

Conor is well supported in our 

auction rooms with the very capable 

Ben Deans, who is the resident 

auction professional within Bayleys 

Canterbury’s auction team. Ben brings 

a wealth of real estate knowledge 

backed by 10-years of auctioneering 

experience. 

The professionalism and experience 

of both Conor and Ben combines to 

make one of the most formidable sales 

teams in Canterbury - and indeed New 

Zealand - and their award-winning 

achievements always assist Bayleys 

Canterbury’s clients in reaching their 

goals. 

If you are thinking about your 

next move or whether an auction 

campaign is the right sales method 

for your property, we would welcome 

the opportunity to discuss the details 

with you, call Chris Flanagan on 

027 433 4657 or your local Bayleys 

agent.
