Grant to ride for fun and charity 

By JOHN COSGROVE 

From theGreater Caucasus to the 

Bosphorous Straitisnogentle ride in 

the park. 

But Grant McIntosh, asemi retired 

North Canterbury dairy farmer, is 

tackling it on acycle,and along the 

way he will be raising funds to help 

war victims. 

Next weekGrant, who lives in 

Pegasus, will board aflight whichwill 

take him half way aroundthe world. 

After transit stops in Singaporeand 

Dubai,he’ll landinGeorgia’scapital, 

Tbilisi,the most charming cityinthe 

Caucasus, to start his 30 day cycling 

adventure. 

Ahead of him lies 2400 kmsofuphill 

(over 2000vertical metres) and down 

dale cycling as he tackles the scenic 

but hilly Caucasus Mountain route 

from Tbilisi to Istanbul. 

‘‘It’s23riding days along the old Silk 

Road, we will be riding about 100 kms 

inlandfromthe Black Sea all the way 

and Iamlooking forward to the 

challenge’’hesaid. 

‘‘If Ican raise some money to help 

those in need in wartorn Ukraine 

then that’sgood also.’’ 

‘‘All the fundsIcan raisewill go to 

ReliefAid, aNZcharity working in 

Ukraine to deliver food, medicineand 

shelter itemsincludingmaterialsand 

tools for repairingdamage to peoples 

lives who havebeen impacted by the 

war.’’ 

Grant sees his challenging ride as a 

way to help, in his own smallway, 

those in need and says he chose them 

becausethey are akiwibased charity. 

‘‘I could have raisedmoneyfor the 

big aid agencies, but that wouldhave 

been lostinthe process, so Ilooked 

around and found the ReliefAid 

‘Communities Under Fire’appeal 

which is run by akiwi Mike Seawright. 

‘‘He’s on the groundinUkraine, and 

very gratefulfor the Kiwi support 

which is enabling ReliefAidtodeliver 

humanitarianaid to the heart of the 

conflict.’’ 

Grant still visits his dairyfarm in 

Culverden to help out when he’snot 

clockingupover 400 kms kilometres a 

weekgetting in shape for the big ride. 

Thisisnot his first cycling 

adventure. He has riddencycle tours 

in Madagascar and China, so he knows 

whattoexpect fromlong days in the 

saddle. 

‘‘I’ll be part of agroupof26other 

international cyclists. 

‘‘We will get up earlyand cycle 

between70to140 kmseach day, then 

in the afternoon we’ll eitherpitch our 

tents or check into ahotel, and spend 

the restofthe day looking around 

theseamazingcountries.’’ 

He says that eachday, he, the three 

otherkiwis alsoonthe ride,and the 

rest of the group, will make theirown 

way to the nextway point usingGPS to 

guidethem through towns and cities 

and across the vast mountain ranges. 

‘‘Some days it willbehard, some 

easy,like one day when we have to 

climbvery quickly from 140m above 

sea leveluptoapass at 2000m, but 

then it’s anice downhill for the next 

100 plus kilometres before another 

quickclimb.” 

‘‘I picked this tour because Iwanted 

to see this very unique and old partof 

the world. 

He says he’s prepared for the 

physical challenges, and with 

communicating with localsina 

country where few people speak 

english, but the riding conditions on 

the roads and in the cities arehis main 

concern. 

‘‘It has been15years sincethe 

Canadian based tour group has run a 

tour that passedthrough Georgia. 

‘‘Thelasttime was 2007 then the 

Russians invaded, so it willbean 

adventurefor everyonethis time,’’

Stand up for your community 

By DAVID HILL 

LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER 

North Canterbury councils are 

struggling to attract candidates for this 

year’s local government elections. But 

Kaikoura is bucking the trend. 

With just aweek to go, electoral 

officers in Hurunui and Waimakariri 

are scratching their heads at the lack of 

nominations for this year’s local 

government elections. 

The stage is set for amayoral race in 

Kaikoura, with two candidates lining up 

to challenge incumbent Mayor Craig 

Mackle. 

Former Kaikoura Mayor Kevin Heays 

wants his old job back, while former 

councillor Ted Howard has announced 

his run against Mr Mackle. 

Mr Mackle said Kaikoura was ‘‘a very 

diverse community’’ and he looked 

forward to the campaign. 

‘‘If I’ve done agood job, I’ll soon find 

out!’’ 

Hurunui District Council deputy 

electoral officer Naomi Woodham said 

there had been some issues with loading 

candidates on the electionz.com 

website, but there had yet to be arush of 

nominations. 

‘‘Democracy is so important and I 

know people are tired, but your district 

needs you Hurunui needs you.’’ 

She did expect some nominations over 

the next week from some sitting 

councillors before deadline, but there 

did not appear to be ‘‘a lot of interest or 

engagement’’. 

Covid fatigue may be factor, she said. 

‘‘I did think with issues like the RMA 

(Resource Management Act) and Three 

Waters reforms that there might be abit 

of interest, because it’s really important 

that local people speak up on these 

issues. 

‘‘But maybe people are tired. It’s been 

ahard few years.’’ 

If candidates were stuck at home with 

Covid, they could submit forms online, 

as long as they were signed by two 

eligible nominees. 

Waimakariri District Council deputy 

electoral officer Sarah Nichols 

suspected last week’s wet weather may 

have turned people off. 

No nominations have so far been 

received from the growing towns of 

Woodend and Pegasus for either council 

or the WoodendSefton Community 

Board. 

Just one nomination has been 

received for the OxfordOhoka 

Community Board, with six positions 

available. 

‘‘It would be nice to see more diversity 

and to see more young people and more 

women,’’ Ms Nichols said. 

‘‘The community board is ideal for 

someone who is working or has family 

Hurunui Theatre Group presents 

commitments, but still wants to 

contribute as there’s less time 

commitment and usually only one 

meeting amonth. 

‘‘Our key message is not to leave it to 

the last day.’’ 

Nominations close at 12 noon on 

Friday, August 12, while billboard 

signage is permitted to go up from 

Saturday, August 6.

Top spot to holiday in Hanmer 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

Ateam mantra of ‘‘memories for life’’ 

and the recognition it is often the little 

things that make adifference, have 

helped the Hanmer Springs TOP 10 

Holiday Park take away atop 

international award. 

It has won the People’s Choice Award 

at the Lion Hospitality Awards for 

Excellence 2022. 

The Hanmer Springs park was up 

against stiff competition, including 

luxury international hotel chains and 

lodges, and muchloved New Zealand 

motels, restaurants, bars and cafes. 

Jacqui Anderson, who owns the holiday 

park with her husband Dean, says to 

have become afinalist at the prestigious 

Business hub in hot demand 

By SHELLEYTOPP 

The new Rangiora Business Hub is 

attracting huge interest with 18 of 35 lots 

in the development now sold or under 

contract. 

With industrial land in Canterbury in 

short supply, sections in the industrial 

park, on the corner of Fernside and 

Todds roads, in Southbrook, were 

expected to be in big demand. 

However, the level of interest has 

surpassed expectations, says Colliers 

Christchurch director of industrial, Sam 

Staite. 

event was a‘‘real buzz’’, but then win the 

People’s Choice Award really pushed 

the excitement level off the charts. 

‘‘Thanks to all our fantastic guests who 

voted for us.’’ 

The park caters for everyone, with 

facilities including new architecturallydesigned, 

standalone luxury 

apartments, well appointed selfcontained 

units and cabins through to 

powered and nonpowered sites for 

caravans, campervans and tents. 

‘‘The jumping pillow, fun bikes and 

playground where the kids can happily 

play for hours, the barista coffee 

available at reception, locallymade 

gourmet pizzas which guests can cook on 

the outdoor pizza ovens, asoak in one of 

the private onsite woodfired hot tubs 

‘‘We knew there would be strong 

interest from owneroccupiers, 

investors and tenants, but even we were 

surprised by the speed of sales,’’ he says. 

‘‘The key drawcard is that the 

Rangiora Business Hub provides the 

opportunity to secure affordable, 

freehold industrial land in one of the 

highest growth commercial locations in 

the district.’’ 

The main entrance to the 13.8ha 

business hub, which offers freehold 

titles with options ranging from 1200sqm 

to 1.35 hectares in size, is on Todds 

Road, near Flaxton Road, with 

or aluxurious shower in the Italian tiled 

bathrooms, complete with underfloor 

heating, make Hanmer Springs TOP 10 

Holiday Park, aspecial place for a 

holiday,’’ says Jacqui. 

There is also an onsite meeting room 

which is an ideal spot for team building 

and small retreats with attendees able to 

have meetings under the radar. Jet 

boating and world class food are also on 

the doorstep. 

‘‘Everyone visiting Hanmer Springs 

TOP 10 Holiday Park gets to relax and 

enjoy themselves in arange of firstclass 

quality accommodation, with some 

unexpected surprises, fivestar touches, 

and warm, friendly customer service.’’ 

The awards were held at Auckland’s 

Grand Millennium Hotel on July 27.

‘‘Southbrook, and particularly 

Flaxton Road, has grown significantly 

over recent years as industry and 

services have responded to the everincreasing 

population of the 

Waimakariri District,’’ Sam says. 

‘‘This growth has created ashortage of 

industrial land available for sale, 

particularly smaller lots.’’

Local government has afuture 

By DAVID HILL, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

Local government has apositivefuture, 

despite the uncertainty of reform, says 

Waimakariri District Councilsenior 

manager Simon Markham. 

Three Waters,local governmentand 

Resource Management Act reformand 

climate change legislation are changing 

the nature of localgovernment and then 

there is the challenge of getting people 

engaged in elections. 

But Mr Markham, who has more than 

30 years experience working in the 

sector, said councils would continue to 

play arole for yearstocome. 

‘‘I don’t thinkanyone is saying ‘pick 

up your bucketsand spades and go 

home’.There’s plenty of services,needs 

and requirements that councils deliver 

to their communities. 

‘‘Councilscollect the rates, maintain 

the roads, provide libraries, community 

facilitiesand swimming pools, enforce 

building regulations and maintain 

cemeteries. 

‘‘You name it we do it. It’smuch more 

than threewaters.’’ 

Mr Markham has worked in local 

governmentsince the 1980sand during 

his time at the Waimakariri District 

Council he led the council’srecovery 

from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes as 

recovery manager. 

He plans to leave the council in 

October to focus on consultancy work, 

advising councils on the futureoflocal 

government. 

The future of localgovernmentpanel, 

led by former WaimakaririDistrict 

Council chief executive Jim Palmer, 

presented its interim report earlier this 

year asking fivekey questions. 

These included the shape of local 

Simon Markham 

governance,the roleoflocal 

government,the relationship with Te 

Tiriti oWaitangi, relationships with 

central governmentand how to finance 

local government. 

‘‘The challengesthat we face are 

significant and it’s differenttowhen the 

current system was set up in 1989,’’Mr 

Markham said. 

‘‘Climate change was aroundin1989, 

but moreinthe academicand research 

world and now it’s arrived.’’ 

One handbrake for councils was 

funding,with around90percent of tax 

and ratescollected in New Zealand 

goingtocentral government. 

This meantcouncils were 

increasinglyreliant on central 

government support, whilefacing an 

increasedburdenfrom legislation, Mr 

Markham said. 

‘‘When you look at issueslike climate 

change or housing, you need to look at 

what needstobefundedtomeet 

expectationsand what is affordable for 

acountry of our size. 

‘‘Andthen, what should be councils’ 

shareand what should be central 

government’s share and Idon’tthink 

we’veresolvedthat yet.’’ 

Mr Markham saideven if Three 

Waters reform continued down its 

present path,local government still had 

arole to play. 

‘‘It will change from being the 

provider of services and infrastructure 

to being more focused on the wellbeing 

of communities.’’ 

But councilshad arole to play as 

advocatesfor their communities and 

seeking solutions. 

New elected councils will havelittle 

time to put their feet under the table, as 

the future of localgovernment panel 

was due to present its 

recommendations in October. 

Mr Markham said it willbeimportant 

for councillors to give feedback, ahead 

of the final report due to be presented 

to the GovernmentinJune. 



Waste trips 

will be just 

one aweek 



The Kaikoura District Councilsays 

transferring its waste to Kate Valley 

will require just one truckround trip 

per week. 

The council has entered into anew 

solidwaste contract whichtook effect 

on July 1, which willsee the district’s 

wastebegin being transferred to the 

Kate Valley Landfill and EnergyPark. 

Senior operations managerDave 

Clibbery said around1500 tonnes per 

year of refuse,anaverageofabout 30 

tonnes per week, has been going to the 

Kaikoura Landfill. 

It willnow instead be sent to Kate 

Valley Landfill and EnergyPark. 

‘‘Once the transferstation is 

completedinthe next few months, 

refuse will be compressed into 

capsules that each contain about 25 

tonnes of waste,’’ Mr Clibbery says. 

‘‘As such only around one truck 

roundtrip per weekwill be needed, 

perhaps even lessifBtrain trucksare 

used which can carry two capsules. 

‘‘In comparison the average level of 

heavyvehicle traffic on StateHighway 

1alongthe route to Kate Valley is 

around 4000vehicles perweek.’’ 

Innovative WasteKaikoura (IWK) is 

in the process of constructing a 

transferstation at the existing 

Kaikoura landfill site to help cater for 

the new arrangement.

Sports awards return 

after 3year absence 

The MainPower North Canterbury 

Sports Awards promise to be the biggest 

and most diverse in the award’s 20 year 

history. 

They return this year after athree year 

Covidenforced break, and organisers 

are now appealing for people to 

nominate their local sporting heroes for 

the 2022 Awards. 

Many have been glued to the 

Commonwealth Games and the amazing 

performance by Kiwi athletes, and it is 

hoped their focus will now turn closer to 

home and look to the performance of 

homegrown North Canterbury athletes. 

This year’s awards will encompass 

sporting achievements by athletes, 

coaches, officials and supporters since 

2019, with this extended timeframe 

offsetting the reduction in opportunities 

both local and internationally due to the 

pandemic. 

However through those years we have 

seen Olympics (both summer and 

winter), Commonwealth Games and 

world championships, as sports have 

found ways to hold their major events in 

spite of Covid restrictions. 

As aresult the awards organisers –The 

North Canterbury Sport &Recreation 

Trust isexpecting awider variety of 

sporting people and codes to be 

nominated for this year’s event. 

Sports Trust CEO Michael Sharpe says 

while the last three years have been 

tough for all sports and sports people, it 

has highlighted the sector’s resilience 

and fortitude to make the best of every 

situation. 

‘‘In particular we see the way sports 

club committees and competition 

organisers have adapted to provide 

opportunities for their participants at 

all levels under arange of restrictions. 

Yes many events have been cancelled 

but most sporting codes have been able 

to change and evolve, and those sports 

will be stronger in the future because of 

this.’’ 

While much of the focus at all sports 

awards goes on the top athletes and 

teams, the MainPower North Canterbury 

Sports Awards also places much 

emphasis on the grassroots contribution 

Award venue ... The awards will be the 

first gala event to be held in the MainPower 

Stadium.

of coaches, administrators, clubs and 

events, and to those who provide 

exceptional longterm service to local 

sports in any capacity. 

‘‘Like any small province we can 

produce the Anton Coopers and the 

Angie Petty’s, but we can’t hold on to 

them forever,’’ says Sharpe. 

‘‘So while we’ll celebrate these 

champions for as long as we have them, 

we’ll also celebrate those people behind 

the scenes who help to produce these top 

athletes, as well as everyone else 

involved in sport at every level.’’ 

The North Canterbury Sports Awards 

has 13 categories covering all aspects of 

sporting achievement, including senior 

and junior sportsman and woman, 

coach, administrator, official, athlete 

with adisability, team, masters athlete 

or team, club and event, as well as three 

service to sport awards. 

The 2022 edition will be the first gala 

event to be held in the new MainPower 

Stadium with table settings for up to 400 

people. 

You can nominate your deserving 

sports heroes at www.sportstrust.org.nz.

Millie-Jane is aiming for higher honours 


11 

The top woman shooter on the day at last 

Sunday’s North Canterbury Secondary 

School clay target champs, was 16yearold 

Hurunui College student, Millie 

Jane McIlraith. 

MillieJane picked up several awards, 

including being amember of the 

winning ladies team with fellow 

Hurunui College student Maggie 

Fergusson, and the third highest point 

scoring senior award, with ascore of 85 

out of 90, only three points behind the 

top shooter overall. 

Amember of the New Zealand Open 

Women’ Skeet Clay Target shooting 

team, MillieJane says it was agood 

competition. 

‘‘I did very well, Iwas using it as a 

buildup for the National Secondary 

School Shooting competition which will 

be held in Christchurch in October, and 

then the following month, Ihope to be 

competing in the NZ National Skeet 

Shooting Championships.’’ 

Over the weekend 70 competitors 

came from eight high schools and were 

arranged into five groups competing in 

the skeet shooting section and 12 in the 

rise section. 

MillieJane said it was fun to be there 

among so many good competitors. 

Her father, Robert McIlraith, says it 

was so good to see so many students 

competing there. 

‘‘It was great to see all the kids there, 

there is aheap of talent out there in 

secondary schools and it bodes well for 

the future of competition shooting in our 

country.’’ 

MillieJane, who is also the chair of 

the Hurunui Youth Council, has ahectic 

schedule and yet she somehow manages 

to fit all her training in each week. 

This includes travelling from the 

family farm in Harwarden to Waihora

near Tai Tapu each weekend to train at 

the Waihora Clay Target Club, to shoot 

over 100 targets each week, and to take 

part in anumber of shooting 

competitions held in other locations 

around the South Island. 

Her recent run of winning 

performances over the past couple of 

years has been rewarded by sponsorship 

deals offered by Kilwell Sports and Gun 

City. 

‘‘The Amberley Gun Club have always 

been ahuge support to me and all the 

other other junior shooters,’’ she says. 

Now her goal is to do well in both the 

Secondary School Nationals, and again 

in the New Zealand Skeet Nationals.

Council happy with investigation 



ANorth Canterbury council chief 

executive says an investigation into 

local government meetings will help 

boost public confidence. 

The Waimakariri District Council is 

one of eight councils named by Chief 

Ombudsman Peter Boshier for an 

investigation into decision making 

behind closed doors. 

Acting chief executive Jeff Millward 

said he only found out about the 

investigation through media reports, but 

was confident his council stood up to 

scrutiny. 

‘‘I can understand why the 

Ombudsman is doing it. 

‘‘I think it’s agood idea and we are 

very happy to be apart of it because it’s 

only going to improve clarity and build 

public confidence.’’ 

Mr Millward said the timing of the 

investigation was unfortunate, with 

local government elections looming. 

Councils were also faced with Three 

Waters, resource management and local 

government reform, high inflation and 

staff recruitment challenges, he said. 

‘‘Our council is dealing with it, but 

there must be councils out there who are 

struggling with the reforms and with the 

environment that we are in.’’ 

The Waimakariri District Council has 

consistently received aAArating in 

Local Government New Zealand’s 

excellence programme. 

‘‘I assume we are in the mix because of 

we are the highest rated council in the 

country,’’ Mr Millward said. 

‘‘When we did the Local Government 

excellence review we scored highly for 

finance and our governance was also 

highlighted. 

‘‘We do struggle sometimes and 

there’s points you always fail on, but in 

Acting CEO ... Jeff Millward 

the latest review we did pretty well.’’ 

The other named councils were 

Rotorua Lakes Council, Taranaki 

Regional Council Taupō District 

Council, Palmerston North City Council, 

Rangitikei District Council, Timaru 

District Council and Clutha District 

Council. 

‘‘I have chosen these councils for a 

variety of reasons,’’ Mr Boshier said. 

‘‘Some councils are getting it right. I 

want to understand how they achieve 

this and share their good practices with 

other councils so we can all learn from 

this investigation.’’ 

The investigation was launched in 

response to complaints made against 

council decision making at workshops 

and public excluded meetings. 

‘‘The public may become suspicious if 

councils repeatedly use closed 

workshops or informal meetings to 

discuss issues,’’ Mr Boshier said. 

Mr Millward said he was not aware of 

any complaints against his council. 

While the Waimakariri District 

Council often used workshops to debate 

issues, minutes were taken and were 

publicly available, he said. 

All council decisions were made at 

meetings. 

Public excluded meetings were 

generally held when there were privacy 

concerns or information was 

commercially sensitive. 

The decisions to hold workshops or 

public excluded meetings were based on 

staff recommendations, but elected 

members could override those 

decisions. 

But Mr Millward did acknowledge that 

councils appeared to be conducting 

more business behind closed doors. 

‘‘We have found since the 

earthquakes, that we are dealing with a 

lot more sensitive issues and Iwonder if 

it’s areflection of the environment we 

are in. 

‘‘I don’t think they will find anything, 

but if they do we will adjust our 

operations to suit.’’ 

The Chief Ombudsman’s report is 

expected to be released next year.

Major step for project in red zone 



Kaiapoi’s multimillion 

dollar mahinga kai project is 

set to take amajor step 

forward with the signing of a 

new trust deed agreement. 

The Waimakariri District 

Council last week approved a 

cogovenance agreement 

with Te Kohaka oTuhaitara 

Trust to manage the Huria 

Reserve, heritage and 

mahinga kai area. 

The initiative is akey 

project from the Waimakariri 

Residential Red Zone 

Recovery Plan and comprises 

eight hectares of land in the 

Kaiapoi south regeneration 

area. 

The reserve is located to 

the south of Kaiapoi River, 

straddling the south bank, 

and continues south to sit 

between the proposed 

Kaiapoi Community Hub and 

Courtenay Lake. 

It is apartnership between 

the council and Te Runanga o 

Ngai Tuahuriri. 

The council is contributing 

$1.74 million over five years 

to the project, which was 

established in the 2018 Long 

Term Plan, and will retain 

ownership of the land. 

Waimakariri District 

Council community and 

recreation manager Chris 

Brown said the trust will 

manage the area under a 

lease agreement and will 

seek additional funding from 

other sources. 

Mayor Dan Gordon said the 

project was an important part 

of Kaiapoi’s ongoing 

regeneration. 

‘‘It’s afantastic partnership 

and I'm in full support of it. 

It’s good to see this finally 

coming to fruition. 

‘‘The project will create a 

public reserve with walkways 

and board walks through 

native planted areas, 

opportunities for mahinga 

kai, natural play areas, 

educational zones and 

interpretive signage to tell 

the local stories and history.’’ 

Representatives from the 

council, trust and runanga 

have formed ajoint working 

group to work on the project 

design and construction. 

Construction is under way, 

with work on the pathways 

tendered and awarded to 

Citycare Property in May and 

due to be completed this 

month. 

The first round of planting 

was completed on June 30, 

with 4000 native plants and 

shrubs planted. 

‘‘This included five totara 

trees that will greet visitors to 

the entrance of the reserve 

area and lead them through 

the paths,’’ Mr Gordon said. 

Landscape design and 

master planning for the 

second stage of works is 

under way. 

The reserve area design 

takes into account the 

interim licence to occupy 

held by the WHoW Charitable 

Trust for the Kaikanui 

Aqualand NZ aqua play park 

facility on Courtenay Lake.

LocalDemocracy Reporter 

Kaiapoi High School and the Karanga 

Mai Young Parents’ College have 

received agenerous donation of 150 

books. 

The books were donated by Laura 

Caygill, from the Waimakariri Libraries. 

Laura was part of the judging panel for 

the New Zealand Book Awards for

given acopy of each book to read as part 

of the role. 

‘‘You could definitely say Ihad a 

summer of reading,’’ Laura says. 

All books entered in the awards are 

written by New Zealand authors and 

Laura says she was very impressed with 

the calibre of entries. 

‘‘It was fantastic. There certainly were 

alot of books, with such adiverse range 

of themes and perspectives. 

‘‘I think we are so lucky to have so 

many talented authors in New Zealand 

and these awards are afantastic way to 

showcase that talent and engage young 

people in reading. 

‘‘We had some wonderful discussions 

on the judging panel and Iknow we were 

all really impressed with the books 

coming through for our young readers in 

New Zealand. 

‘‘Many of these books would easily 

stand up on the international stage,’’ 

Laura says. 

Waimakariri Libraries, in 

collaboration with the community have 

created online virtual storytimes to 

celebrate the awards. 

They have also produced aBooks 

Alive digital event showcasing one of the

Extension for park 

By DAVIDHILL, 


Kaiapoi’s proposed aqua sportspark is a 

step closer after the Waimakariri District 

Council agreedinprinciple to extend its 

memorandum of understanding by up to 

threeyears. 

It means the WHoWCharitable Trust 

will have another three years to develop its 

plan for surfwave, whitewaterand cable 

wakeboard facilitiesalongside its 

inflatable play park in the Kaiapoi east 

regeneration area, to the northofKaiapoi 

River. 

Arevisedagreement will now be 

negotiated between thecouncil and the 

trustuntilAugust 2025, before being 

brought back to the council for final 

approval. 

The original agreement was signed in 

August 2020 and was due to expirethis 

month. 

‘‘Thelast two years have been 

particularly challenging in developing 

plansfor largerecreationalfacilities 

requiringsignificant funding under Covid 

restrictions and difficult economic 

conditions,’’actingchief executive Jeff 

Millwardsays. 

‘‘Thecouncilwas, however, impressed 

with the WHoW Trust’scommitment to the 

concept and the district through 

progressingthe Aqualand NZ project in 

Courtenay Lake, which successfully 

trialled at asmallscale elements proposed 

for the AquasportsPark.’’ 

The trust launched its temporaryaqua 

playpark on Courtenay Lake, to the south 

of Kaiapoi River, in November under a 

threeyear licensetooccupyagreement 

with the council.

Family Trust tax reporting requirements 

Thosewho haveaFamily Trust may 

like to checktheir position withthe 

team of legal experts at Helmore 

Stewart, Rangiora. 

The Governmentrecently increased 

the highest income tax rate for annual 

incomes over $180,000 from33% to 

39%. 

For one reasonoranother,the 

Governmentdid notincrease the 

income tax ratefor Trusts, which 

remainsat33%. 

The Governmenthas since 

discovered that somehigh income 

earners havebeen allocating their 

income through their Trusts to benefit 

from the lower Trustincome taxrate. 

In response,ithas enacted changes 

to the Tax Administration Act 1994 to 

enable the InlandRevenue 

Department (IRD)tokeep acloser eye 

on Trusts anddeter high income 

earners gainingatax advantageby 

allocating incometoaTrust. 

Thesechanges applyfrom the start 

of the 2022 financialyear,which for 

most Trustswill be April1,2021. 

In general terms,the impact of these 

recent changescan be summarised by 

the following two options: 

If your Trust earns an annual 

income under $200 and there are no 

deductions, and no income is 

allocatedtobeneficiaries instead of 

beingretained by the Trust, thenthe 

trustees must file aNonActive Trust 

Declaration(form IR633)with the 

IRD. 

If Option 1does not apply, then the 

trustees mustfile atax returnwith the 

IRD andprovide alarge amount of 

additional informationrelatingto 

their Trust. 

In manyinstances,your Trust’s 

accountant mayhave already 

arranged compliance with thesenew 

IRD reporting requirements, andyou 

may liketocheck this position with 

the accountant. 

But for legaladvice Helmore Stewart 

can assist in regard to compliance 

with the Tax AdministrationAct, and 

welcomes you call.

Abaking career sure to rise for baker Sue 

23 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Sue Brocherie was humbled 

when her name was put 

forward to do abakery 

apprenticeship. 

The bubbly Artisan by 

Rangiora Bakery production 

supervisory baker, who is in her 

late 40s, was inwardly petrified, 

but grabbed the opportunity. 

Sue has gone on to prove age 

is no barrier to learning and 

upskilling. 

‘‘It’s never too late. For those 

of us who have done avariety of 

things in our lives and have lots 

of life experience, but don't 

have any formal qualifications, 

this is an opportunity to get that 

qualification, have that feeling 

of accomplishment, fulfillment, 

and achievement. 

‘‘You're never too old to 

learn,’’ Sue says. 

While doing an 

apprenticeship seemed the 

logical next step in her career, 

Sue says it was scary as she had 

not done any study for 30 years. 

‘‘But Ithought as Iwas baking 

for aliving, why not become 

qualified?’’ 

The prospect of all the papers 

she had to complete was 

daunting, but once she started, 

it wasn't too bad. 

Surrounded by experience in 

the bakery where she has 

worked for the past 14 years, 

and making the most of the 

learning and reference 

material supplied as part of her 

apprenticeship, along with 

Google, Sue completed her 

three year cake baking 

qualification in 2021. 

Now she is half way through 

her 18month pastry strand 

qualification. 

Sue is abig fan of the earn 

and learn model that comes 

with being an apprentice. 

‘‘Earning while you learn for 

mature students is definitely 

the way to go. You can't beat on 

the job training. 

‘‘A lot of people learn by 

doing, and this is the perfect 

way to do that.’’ 

Sue started out making 

muffins at the Rangiora Bakery. 

‘‘As the bakery has evolved, 

so has my role,’’ says Sue, who 

is now the production 

supervisor of the cake, slice, 

bread and meat pie areas. 

She has always loved baking 

—acraft she inherited from her 

mother. She remembers fondly 

as achild mixing up bowls of 

flour, sugar, water and sultanas 

in her playhouse and her 

mother baking creations in the 

kitchen. 

‘‘Baking has always been 

more than just achore. Ilove 

doing it. 

‘‘At home, 99% of my baking is 

given away —it’s my happy 

place. It is also something Iam 

good at and since doing my 

apprenticeship, I'm challenging 

myself with things Iwould 

never have tried making 

previously.’’ 

Competenz account 

managers have played akey 

role in Sue’s learning journey, 

with regular visits throughout 

the year and popping in to see 

her while she’s been on ablock 

course. 

‘‘At each visit you receive 

Next step ... Apprentice baker Sue Brocherie, who is in her late 40s, has completed her three year cake

your progress report and to be 

above the line always gives me 

asecret thrill,’’ Sue says. 

‘‘The enthusiasm and 

encouragement from 

Competenz is above and 

beyond. Rangiora Bakery has 

also been incredibly supportive 

and the progress and success of 

their apprentices is always 

appreciated and celebrated. 

‘‘The wealth of knowledge of 

management and senior staff is 

soaked up by all of us,’’ she says. 

Rangiora Bakery has four 

female and two male 

apprentices, and Sue urges all 

mature people who might be 

considering anew career ‘‘to 

just do it’’. 

Sue’s employer, Rangiora 

Bakery General Manager Frank 

Janssen, says the Government’s 

Apprenticeship Boost scheme 

has allowed the business to 

take on new talent by 

subsidising the training fees. 

Following the 2022 budget, 

the scheme was extended until 

the end of December 2023. 

‘‘There are no problems to get 

apprentices. We have awaiting 

list among our staff which is 

really cool. They are very keen 

to learn. 

‘‘We normallyallow staff that 

have been herefor acouple of 

yearsand are serious to sign 

up.’’ 

Mr Janssen is very 

supportive of Sue’straining. 

‘‘Sueisdoing great. She had 

worked here already for 10 

plus years as asupervisor 

before she started her 

apprenticeship. 

‘‘Shehas alot of 

responsibilities, and the 

baking knowledgethat she gets 

from her training helpsher to 

do her job evenbetter.’’

Qualmark for Greystone 

Waipara’s Greystone Wines has 

been awarded Qualmark 

recognition under the 

Sustainable Tourism Business 

criteria. 

The certification, which is 

supported by Tourism NZ, comes 

after Greystone’s recent 

recognition as Toit Envirocare 

net carbonzero certified. 

Qualmark General Manager 

Steven Dixon says Greystone 

Wines has avery compelling 

story to tell, as acertified organic 

winery and vineyard. 

‘‘The diversity of soil types, 

aspects and the different 

varieties planted has created a 

highquality, wide and 

interesting selection of wines for 

their cellar door experience. 

‘‘The restaurant experience 

and menu using locallysourced 

ingredients only add to the guest 

experience,’’ Mr Dixon says. 

The Qualmark certification is 

designed to help travellers select 

experiences based on excellence 

and best practise in highquality, 

safe and sustainable 

experiences. 

Greystone general manager 

Nick Gill says Greystone is proud 

to show excellence in the 

sustainability space. 

‘‘We’ve dedicated endless 

hours and resources to reduce 

our environmental impact over 

several years, however we’re still 

in the early days and we only 

want to keep improving all areas 

of the business. 

‘‘We’ve proven it is possible to 

be carboncertified and organic 

and we hope our efforts 

encourage others in the wine 

industry to follow suit.’’ 

Guest experience ... Diners enjoying the restaurant experience and menu 

at Waipara’s Greystone Wines. 


Greystone’s entire 50hectare 

vineyard, located in the North 

Canterbury wine region, is 

certified organic with BioGro 

New Zealand. The company has 

clocked up numerous awards, 

with the awardwinning 

Vineyard Ferment Pinot Noir 

produced using an ageold 

outdoor winemaking method that 

sees grapes handpicked and 

fermented outside in the 

vineyard rows where the fruit is 

grown. 

Saying no urged 

Groundswell NZ is launching 

a Say No campaign aimed 

property owners interacting 

with the Government over 

demands for information 

‘‘used to harmfood 

producers and rural 

communities’’. 

Groundswell NZ cofounder 

Bryce McKenzie 

says the organisation is 

calling for New Zealand's 

farmers and growers to say 

no to allowing public 

agencies to survey on your 

private land. 

It says the surveyscarried 

out under the RMA and the 

NPSIB willmake liabilities 

out of the natural, cultural, 

and historic features on 

private land,when central 

and local governmentshould 

be empowering landowners 

to care for them. 

Groundswell also wants 

them to say no to 

participating in central 

governmentcontrolled farm 

plans. 

‘‘Theonesizefitsall 

approach the Government is 

taking to farm plans is riding 

roughshod over the industry 

and regional council farm 

plansthat haveserved 

farmers and communities 

well for years.Say no to 

calculating your emissions 

number. Foodproducers 

have apart to play in 

addressing climate warming 

and the calculations made in 

the Know Your Number 

programme will obscure this 

role by failing to accountfor 

carbon sequestration and the 

minimal warming effect of 

methane,’’MrMcKenzie 

says. 

Winter grazingisalso 

targetedinthe campaign. 

Groundswell wants farmers 

to say no to the request for 

resourceconsent for winter 

grazing. 

‘‘Wintergrazing 

regulations remain 

unworkable, and the slope 

ruleshave little to do with 

how waterwaysare actually 

affected by winter grazing. 

Farmers shouldbe 

responsible for the actual 

effect they haveon 

waterways, not for a 

bureaucrats assumptions 

aboutthe slope of their land. 

‘‘Freshwater issuesare 

best addressed by 

prioritising action on those 

waterbodies most at risk and 

by councils workingin 

partnership withtheir 

communities,asexemplified 

by the hugely successful 

Catchment Groups 

approach.’’ Mr McKenzie 

says the actionisashortterm 

necessity untilthe 

Governmentputs workable 

regulations in place which 

achieve ‘‘real environmental 

outcomes and respect the 

privacy of propertyrightsof

North Canterbury farmers earn top award 


Developing an environmentally 

sustainable dairying and beef farming 

operation which has evolved to become 

ahub of community activities has 

earned ahusbandandwife farming 

couple atop rural award. 

The People in Primary Sector title at 

this year’s Canterbury Ballance Farm 

Environment Awards, was awarded to 

NorthCanterbury couple Geoff and 

Rochelle Spark who own and manage 

Torlesse Farm in Eyrewell, 

Waimakariri. 

In assessing the Spark’s entry into the 

awards, the judges commended the 

couple on actively building connections 

between “town and country,” along with

sharing their property with the wider 

community for farm visits, and 

generously supporting rural health and 

wellbeing organisations such as Farm 

Strong and the Rural Support Trust. 

In addition to developing astrong 

community involvement programme 

across the region, the judges were 

impressed at how Geoff and Rochelle 

Spark have invested substantially in 

Torlesse Farm’s infrastructure –such as 

pivot irrigation, the storage dam, soil 

temperature and moisture monitoring, 

irrigation scheduling, and effluent 

storage. The judges also commended 

Torlesse Farm’s winter grazing 

management –using catch crops such as 

oats after winter grazing crops to extract 

as much nitrogen as possible from the 

soil profile. 

“We need to protect the future 

productivity of the land. The 

replacement of klines and individual 

sprinklers in corners for more 

environmentally friendly and efficient 

set sprinklers, help reduce nitrate 

losses,” says Geoff. 

Geoff and Rochelle Spark entered the 

Ballance Farm Environment Awards 

because they believed they had a 

positive business story to share. 

They sought to make their rural 

commercial activity sustainable and 

perform at ahigh standard, not only 

from aproduction perspective, but also 

including environmental stewardship. 

Torlesse Farm runs about 1700 dairy 

cows on 450hectares, with afurther 400 

hectares split between dairy support 

and beef grazing. 

The Sparks have diversified their 

business to include grazing and grass 

sales, in addition to operating a 

commercial weigh bridge and a 

purposebuilt function venue. 

The couple moved on to the family 

owned Torlesse Farm in 1995, 

eventually buying it from Geoff’s 

parents in 2005. 

They believe good infrastructure and 

management programmes provide the 

foundations of long term sustainability, 

and activities such as regenerating 

native bush, trapping possums, and

fencing off feral deer on the hill country 

portion of the beef farm serve to 

enhance their property. 

Within Torlesse Farm is a5.5hectare 

irrigation storage lake which has been 

enhanced around its banks with native 

plants to provide aclean and totally 

swimmable amenity for arange of 

community events. 

The lake hosts the Canterbury 

Primary School Triathlon which attracts 

between 800–1000 competitors, and the 

OxMan multisports event for all ages 

and abilities, with around 400 

participants swimming, cycling, and 

running. 

With apurposebuilt function venue 

overlooking the lake, the Sparks also 

host multiple charity and community 

organisations on the property involving 

members of the public from across 

Canterbury’s towns, and even 

Christchurch city. 

“These events help foster a 

connection between town and country. 

Our philosophy in farming is long term. 

We go by the motto ‘plant atree you 

never see’, We have planted more than 

1,000 native plants around our irrigation 

storage lake,” says Geoff. 

The Sparks, their longterm 

sharemilkers of 12years, and all their 

staff, operate with apositive ‘solutionsfocused’ 

approach –meaning 

production at the property has returned 

to previous output levels after 

sustaining asubstantial challenge from

Geoff is also adedicated advocate for 

the Farm Strong wellbeing programme – 

an initiative which helps farmers and 

primary producers to cope with the 

pressures of farming, ranging from 

drought and flood weather conditions, 

evolving Government legislation on the 

rural sector, and the unpredictability of 

commodity prices.

Safety Improvements for Ruataniwha 

Kaiapoi Civic Centre Underway 

From Monday 8August, contractors will be 

undertaking vapour blasting work on the tiles 

outside the Ruataniwha Kaiapoi Civic Centre. 

This is anecessary safety improvement to the tiles 

around the Civic Centre to ensure they are anti-slip, 

making itsafer for all our community accessing 

the Centre and Library. 

Work will begin on the main front entrance, taking 

approximately aweek to complete. Raven Quay 

will then be closed for the following week while the 

same treatment is completed on the outside of the 

building. Access to the Centre will be maintained 

throughout the works via the rear entrance off the 

Hilton Street car park. 

Noise created by the blasting unit may be loud 

at times and we are taking steps to mitigate the 

impact by erecting hoardings, but we apologise for 

any disruption to library-goers and venue users. 

Fencing and signage will be in place around the 

work site for the duration. Work is expected to be 

finished on or before Wednesday 24 August.

Chlorination of Kaiapoi East Water Supply 

Council have continued to carry out extensive 

testing of the water supply in North Kaiapoi since 

chlorine was turned off on the supply in March 

2022. While the testing had been good, recent 

testing is showing increased levels of organic 

materials in the supply and we have chlorinated 

the supply to allow ustoinvestigate further. 

The most likely cause is sediment including 

organic material that has slowly built up in the 

pipework. While our testing shows that the water 

is still safe todrink, this signals apotential risk 

to the system and the addition of chlorine tothe 

supply isprecautionary. 

This only affects those properties on the supply 

north ofKaiapoi river through to and including The 

Pines Beach and Kairaki. As we can separate the 

supply at the river, properties to the south of the 

river will not be affected. 

If youexperience anydiscolouredwater, pleaseflush 

your tapsuntil this clears. If this doesn’t clear aer 10 

minutes, please let us knowbycalling 0800 965 468. 

Additional sampling and investigation work has 

started to determine the source of the issue. The 

level of chlorine will be consistent with national 

guidelines and standards. We do understand the 

community’s preference for unchlorinated water 

and are doing everything we can to resolve the 

issue as soon as possible.
