Late run means 

elections in NC 

By DAVID HILL 

Local Democracy Reporters 

Democracy is alive and 

well in North Canterbury. 

While there has been a 

shortage of candidates 

nationwide, aflood of late 

nominations ahead of last 

Friday’s 12 noon deadline 

kept electoral officers busy 

in Waimakariri, Hurunui 

and Kaikoura. 

The last minute 

nominations means all 

positions will be filled in 

North Canterbury’s local 

government elections. 

There will be mayoral 

contests in Waimakariri 

and Kaikoura, and most 

positions across the region 

will be contested. 

Waimakariri District 

Council deputy electoral 

officer Sarah Nichols said 

25 nominations were 

received before Friday’s 12 

noon deadline. 

‘‘It’s been great to see the 

increased interest from 

locals who are passionate 

about Waimakariri and 

want to serve their 

communities in this 

upcoming term.’’ 

In all, eighty candidates 

will compete for 35 

available positions in the 

Waimakariri district, 

including mayor, 10 

councillors and 24 spots 

across four community 

boards. 

Incumbent Mayor Dan 

Gordon is set to face a 

challenge from Miles 

StapyltonSmith, of 

Rangiora. 

In the Hurunui district, 

Mayor Marie Black has 

been reelected unopposed 

for asecond term. 

Hurunui District Council 

deputy electoral officer 

Naomi Woodham said 

nominations had been ‘‘a 

slow trickle’’ until alate 

rush in the last few days, 

before nominations closed. 

‘‘It just went alittle bit 

nuts. It’s the busiest I’ve 

ever seen it.’’ 

Ms Woodham said there 

was one nomination which 

was only confirmed 30 

seconds before Friday’s 12 

noon, after anominee was 

found to be not on the 

electoral roll, and had to 

enroll quickly online. 

Mrs Black said she was 

thrilled to be reelected. 

‘‘I’m looking forward to 

forming anew council, and 

taking on some of the 

challenges which are facing 

us.’’ 

Hurunui’s South Ward, 

which includes Amberley, 

has awhopping 10 

nominations, while 

elections will also be 

required in the East Ward 

and for the Cheviot 

Licensing Trust. 

The West Ward and the 

Hanmer Springs 

Community Board have 

enough nominations to fill 

their vacancies without an 

election. In Kaikoura, first 

term Mayor Craig Mackle is 

facing achallenge from two 

mayoral hopefuls, Kevin 

Heays and Ted Howard. 

There are 14 nominations 

for seven vacancies on the 

Kaikoura District Council.

Two Mayoral contests in NC 

By DAVID HILL, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

Mayoralcontests are set to spur some 

interest in the Kaikoura and 

Waimakariri districts. 

While Hurunui Mayor MarieBlack 

has been reelected unopposed for a 

second term, fellowfirstterm mayors 

Craig Mackle and DanGordon are 

facing challenges. 

In Kaikoura, Mr Mackle is facinga 

challenge fromKevinHeaysand Ted 

Howard,whileMiles StapyltonSmith 

has put his name in the ringagainst Mr 

Gordon. 

Mr Heays served two termsas 

Kaikoura Mayorfrom 2004 to 2010 and 

for the last decade has worked for 

Environment Canterbury as the 

Kaikoura waterzone lead. 

He said he wouldbring leadership 

and experience. 

‘‘When Iwas Mayor this place was 

honking, but then like the restofthe 

countryCovid has set thingsback. 

‘‘So my mission is to get Kaikoura 

back to being the place where 

everyone comestovisit.’’ 

Former councillorMrHowardsaid 

Kaikoura needed achange of thinking 

to navigate an uncertain future. 

‘‘I think Craig(Mackle) has done a 

good job, but we are verydifferent 

people and Ibringadifferent set of 

skills.’’ 

Mr Howardwas diagnosed with a 

terminal illness 12 years ago and 

survived, which gave him afresh 

perspective on life and helpedhim 

build resilience. 

He has always had an interest in 

complex systemsand how asociety 

could put in place the social, economic 

andpolitical systems to allow people 

to live alonger life. 

Mr Mackle said he had been 

impressed with how well the 

councillors had workedwell together 

as ateam overthe last threeyears. 

He praised councilstafffor their 

hard work,including the successful 

ECan election

Health hub operating hours cause confusion 

By DAVID HILL. 


Community leaders are scrambling to 

address confusion around the operation 

of after hours medical care in Rangiora. 

Waimakariri District Council staff 

have been left reeling from a 

presentation about the Rangiora Health 

Hub at last week’s RangioraAshley 

Community Board meeting. 

Health NZ Te Whatu Ora Canterbury 

District (formerly Canterbury District 

Health Board) executive director of 

infrastructure, Dr Rob Ojala, expressed 

disappointment at the consent process. 

Dr Ojala said the health authority had 

been working with its partner South 

Link Health Services to develop the 

proposed 1250m2 facility to sit alongside 

the existing maternity unit and 

community services centre at 161 Ashley 

Street. 

He said there was aconcern the 

council was placing an ‘‘operations 

restriction’’ on the resource consent to 

close at 10pm. 

Due to the issues getting resource and 

building consents, Dr Ojala said the 

project had been delayed, with 

construction now unlikely to begin until 

next year. 

Council staff said aresource consent 

had been granted for the medical facility 

to operate between 8am and 10pm, in 

line with the application from South 

Link Health Services. 

Acouncil spokesperson said some 

flexibility had been written into the 

consent to allow medical staff to 

continue attending to patients after the 

doors closed at 10pm. 

Staff said no building consent 

application has been lodged with the 

council. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon said 

he and council staff were planning to 

meet with Health NZ to address any 

ongoing concerns. 

Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey said he 

was disappointed at the lack of progress 

in developing an after hours medical 

centre in Rangiora. 

‘‘I think the community has been more 

than patient with the wait. 

‘‘They have put up with delays due to 

consenting, the government’s health 

restructure and construction issues. 

‘‘I’m gutted for the community that the 

cost of inaction means the project is now 

unlikely to be completed much before 

the end of 2024.’’ 

South Link Health Services is working 

with the Rangiora Medical Centre, 

which will operate the medical facility, 

and is tendering for providers to operate 

aradiology facility and apharmacy on 

the site. 

Rangiora Medical Centre general 

manager Mark Darvill said he 

appreciated the community would like 

24/7 medical care in North Canterbury, 

but it would not happen overnight. 

He said he was in the process of 

merging two medical practices into one 

entity ready to move on to the new site, 

while the Woodend Medical Centre will 

operate as asatellite location. 

‘‘Even when we move into the new 

facility, we will more than likely operate 

95 onday one and we will extend the 

hours in ameasured manner. 

‘‘We want to be able to provide an after 

hours service as quickly as we can, but 

we need to deliver timely and quality 

healthcare.’’ 

The challenge was finding enough 

staff and ensuring the systems were in 

place to support the service.

Atotal of 26 North Canterbury schools 

entered four person teams consisting of 

year 6, 7and 8pupils as they all 

attempted to be the fastest team solving 

maths questions at the North 

Canterbury Cantamaths competition 

last week. 

Their goal was to answer all 20 

questions correctly, as they raced 

against the clock and each other to 

quickly decipher and solving tricky 

maths questions. 

Held at the Ohoka hall, teachers and 

parents looked on feeling the pain as 

they watched their children struggling 

with the questions that could be either 

straight maths formulas or complicated 

logic questions based on life situations 

such as deciphering how long it takes 

two people to read pages in abook and 

answer it using the 24 hour time code. 

The winning teams will go on to 

compete at the 49th annual Cantamaths 

tournament to be held this Tuesday at 

the Christchurch Arena, explore 

through mathematics the theme of 

maths in entertainment.

OPINION 


Waimakariri 

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor 

Submission presented 

This week the councillors and I 

presented council’s submission on 

Three Waters to Parliament’s Select 

Committee which was conducting 

hearings in Christchurch. 

There have been 88,000 submissions 

made in total. I’m not clear of the 

breakdown of the numbers for and 

against. 

If it’s anything to go by in terms of the 

views expressed to me on adaily basis, 

I’d suggest the numbers would be 

strongly against. 

Last year we wrote to every ratepayer 

to seek their view —95% of respondents 

told us they oppose loss of control of 

their Three Water assets, and we made 

clear our communities’ view when we 

spoke to the Select Committee. 

Next week Iwill be presenting 

Communities 4Local Democracy (C4LD) 

submission to the Select Committee at 

Parliament in Wellington. 

C4LD is made up of 31 partner 

councils which came together to oppose 

the Government’s forced Three Waters 

reform, but also to present an 

alternative model that retains local 

ownership and influence. 

It’s not too late for the Government to 

turn this reform around and partner 

with councils to achieve abetter 

outcome that we can all agree on. 

Last week Ienjoyed attending the 

Kane Shield Swimming competition 

which was held at the Kaiapoi Aquatic 

Centre.

Ialso attended and spoke at the 

funeral of Oxford’s Brent Firkin. 

Brent and Icofounded the Oxford 

Arts Trust that built the Arts in Oxford 

Gallery. 

It was Brent’s idea to establish an Arts 

Centre in Oxford, and having an interest 

in the arts myself it didn’t take much 

persuasion to see the merits of his idea 

and work with others to see this 

achieved. 

The Gallery has now been open for 12 

years. 

Brent became Gallery Director and his 

work in that role led to the gallery’s 

success. 

Arts in Oxford is widely respected in 

art circles both regionally and 

nationally. The Gallery is one of the 

main attractions in Oxford, and indeed

Rural health services lacking 

Rural communities are suffering 

through alack of access to decent health 

services, says Rural Women New 

Zealand. 

RWNZ says it is dangerous and it is 

time something was done about it. 

‘‘The health and wellbeing of rural 

communities is at risk of further 

deterioration if something is not done 

soon to resolve the issues facing people 

who live, work and play in rural 

Aotearoa New Zealand,’’ says RWNZ 

National President, Gill Naylor. 

‘‘The challenges rural families face 

with access to health services are just 

about too many to list on one hand, 

however, afew that stand out are the 

lack of rural midwives, lack of rural 

nurses and GPs, lack of rural mental 

health services, delays in emergency 

services such as ambulances and long 

distances to travel for such services as 

allied health and cancer treatment,’’ she 

says. 

‘‘While we are pleased to see the 

Government commit to both awomen’s 

health strategy and arural health 

strategy –weare wanting to see resource 

and plans activated to ensure rural 

women and girls do not miss out on 

health needs because of their post 

code.’’ 

While increasing the availability of 

telehealth is supported by RWNZ, it 

says, however this will only work where 

digital connectivity is fit for purpose. 

‘‘There are many rural communities 

without this.

Glasnevin weigh 

bridge in spotlight 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Threephase power,and extra 

grinding to ensure the Glasnevin 

weighbridge is accurate,have put 

the brakes on the reopening of the 

weighstationnear Waipara in North 

Canterbury. 

Rumours haveswirled in the 

districtasresidents watch the slow 

progress on the siteand wondered 

when it would reopen. 

Some have suggested to the North 

Canterbury News the layout is not fit 

for purpose because Btrains were 

too large to handle the turning 

involved in entering and exitingthe 

weighbridge. 

However, Sean Bridge, 

ProgrammeManager forWaka 

Kotahi, says Btrains can turninat 

Glasnevin. 

‘‘Theupgrade didn’tchange the 

layout significantly, and the only 

notable layoutdifference is anew 

inspection shed.’’ 

Instead, Mr Bridge says, the delays 

in reopeninghave been caused by 

the needfor threephasepower for 

the codeofcompliance, where there 

is asixweek delay,and alsothe 

aligning of boththe WakaKotahi 

and Police auditsofthe weigh 

bridge. 

Theserequiredarevisit and 

additional grinding by Higgins 

Construction, to ensure it is as 

accurate as possible. 

Mr Bridgesays the survey of the 

weighbridge facility is ahighly 

exacting process to ensure that the 

freight industry is treated fairly as 

part of Waka Kotahi’s regulatory and 

safety oversightofthe essential 

industry. 

Since2018 around $8 million has 

been spent updating thesite to meet 

the needsofthe truck fleet. 

This includes the inspection 

building which is part of the Higgins 

contract, and the highspeed data 

collectionsysteminstalled in the 

highway, plus the electronic sign 

installation builtbyDowner in 

2018/2019. 

The old setupatthe Glasnevin 

weighbridge couldnot accurately 

weigh some wide loadsthat were 

plyingthe North Canterbury 

highway. 

Information supplied to the North 

Canterbury News fromNZTA says in 

ordertoupgrade the Glasnevin 

facilitytodeal withthese wider, 

heavier loads, the concrete platform 

in whichthe weigh scale is placed 

was replacedwith awiderplatform. 

The cost of this wider platform and 

anew wider weighbridge came to 

around$350,000. 

The weighbridgeweighs heavy 

vehicles axlebyaxle as theytravel 

at 5km/h across it and the concrete 

platform has to be constructed to 

very accurate tolerances (+/1.5mm) 

to ensure weighing is accurate. 

These tolerances are tighterthan 

normalconcrete slabs, and usually 

require some grinding of highspots 

on the curedconcrete to achieve 

these tolerances –work that is now 

comingtoanend, says NZTA.

Outstanding work recognised 


Awish to givesomething back to her

receivingaVolunteering Canterbury 

award. 

The award is in recognition of Tricia’s 

‘‘outstandingvoluntary effortand 

contributiontothe community’’ during her 

work in theIHC Volunteer Friendship 

Programme. 

In February1984 Tricia suffered a 

serious brain injuryinacar crash andwas 

unconscious in hospital for 41/2 weeks 

before facing along recoveryperiod. 

Tricia realisedhow preciouslife is and 

wanted to do ‘‘something of value, 

something good’’with therest of her life. 

She visited the Rangiora IHC office and 

applied to be avolunteer. 

Tricia wanted to walkher dog and 

support afriend. Initiallyshe was matched 

with agroup of adults with an intellectual 

disability, but moved to volunteering for 

the IHC Volunteer Friendship Programme 

in 2014, when the onetoone friendship 

programme was introduced.She has been 

matched withthe same friend since. The 

programme linksadults with intellectual 

disabilities withafriendthey canconnect 

with in aonetoone friendship. Tricia, 

from Woodend,was matched with Stephen 

Crozier,ofRangiora. They meet weekly 

and have becomegreat friends. 

Tricia has had severalbad falls in recent 

times. 

She fractured her knee,broke her toe, 

and dislocated her shoulderwhich 

damaged her ligaments so she needed 

surgery. Despite beingunable to drive, 

Tricia still wanted her regularmeetings 

with Stephen. Christchurch and North 

CanterburyIHC volunteer coordinator, 

DianaShoppeehelped her achieve that. 

‘‘It was reallyspecial to see her friend's 

face lightupwhen we arrived,’’ Diana says.

Feedback sought on urban rules 

By DAVID HILL, 


The Waimakariri District Council is 

seeking feedback on new urban housing 

rules. 

The passing of the Resource 

Management (Enabling Housing Supply 

and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 

has directed the council to adopt 

medium density housing for the 

district’s main urban areas. 

As aresult, the council is notifying 

variation 1and 2tothe proposed 

Waimakariri District Plan, which was 

notified in September last year. 

The changes will affect Rangiora, 

Kaiapoi, Woodend (including 

Ravenswood) and Pegasus.

www.heatstore.co.nz 

general manager Tracy Tierney said the 

new standards would allow 

development of up to three residential 

units and buildings up to three storeys 

high. 

There would be aheight limit of 11 

metres (plus 1m for apitched roof) 

without aresource consent. 

‘‘The council is required to adopt the 

density standards, objectives and 

policies, meaning there is limited scope 

to influence these standards –both by 

council and the community,’’ Ms Tierney 

said. 

‘‘However, your submissions on the 

variation are still important and may 

influence the way in which they are 

incorporated into the District Plan. 

‘‘We encourage everyone to 

participate in the process to let the 

council know your views.’’ 

Ms Tierney said there was still some 

scope for the council to deem some 

areas as ‘‘inappropriate’’ for 

intensification. 

This included ‘‘parts of Kaiapoi that 

have been identified as potentially 

having anatural hazard risk due to 

flooding’’. 

‘‘We would appreciate local intel as 

well,’’ she said. 

Public dropin sessions will be held in 

Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Woodend/ 

Pegasus to give the community the 

opportunity to talk to planners. 

Council staff expected to notify the 

summary of submissions to the proposed 

District Plan later this year. 

Hearings on the proposed District 

Plan and variations 1and 2are likely to 

be held at the same time next year. 

For more information and to make a 

submission go to waimakariri.govt.nz/

Wednesday, August 17, Rangiora council

Lead in seal killing 

Asolid lead into who killed 19 fur 

seals in Kaikoura last year is being 

pursued by the police. 

Department of Conservation (DOC) 

Principal Compliance Officer Jeff 

Hall says DOC is working with police 

in investigating aline of inquiry after 

receiving information recently. 

Mr Hall says DOC still needs more 

help from the public, and reiterated 

its plea to the community to come 

forward with information, however 

insignificant they think it may be, as 

investigators continue efforts to find 

those responsible. 

‘‘We are grateful for the information 

we’ve received and while that’s 

encouraging, we can’t be certain of the 

outcome at this stage.’’ 

Information from the public has 

always been important to identifing 

whoever was responsible for killing at 

least eight seals. 

Mr Hall says DOC staff believe other 

people in the community can 

corroborate the recent information 

received, and further information 

from residents could prove vital. 

‘‘DOC and Te Runanga oKaikoura 

are deeply concerned about the 

callous killing of legally protected 

native fur seals and we hope with 

public help we will be able to identify 

and prosecute those responsible and 

hold them to account,’’ says Mr Hall. 

The Marine Mammals Protection 

Act includes aclause limiting the 

timeframe in which someone can be 

charged to one year from the date of 

the offence. 

Mr Hall says DOC is keen to see a 

charge laid before time runs out. 

The penalties for harassing, 

disturbing, injuring or killing a 

marine mammal under the Marine 

Mammals Protection Act 1978 are up 

to two years imprisonment or afine of 

up to $250,000. 

Anyone who has information is 

asked to contact the DOC 24hour 

number 0800 DOCHOT/0800 36 24 68 or 

Kaikoura Police on 105 and quote file 

number 211103/1981. Alternatively, 

information can be provided 

anonymously at Crime Stoppers on 

0800 555 111. 

DOC was alerted to dead seals at 

Ohau Point on October 25, 2021. 

We’relookingfor leaders

Afun madcap weekend of film 


Lights, cameras, action! And nothing 

happens. 

Picture the scene: the director of 

photography peering intensely through 

the camera, the soundie hovering 

overhead, the director holdingher 

breathand the actors eagerly waitingfor 

their cues. 

Looking like an Attenborough nature 

scene,the crew crowded aroundthe 

kitchen toaster and waited as yet again 

nothing happened. 

It didn’t pop on cue,the lead actor 

didn’tscreamand the director once 

again yelled CUT! 

The crew fell around laughing, just 

another funny moment in the Oxford 

Area School’s madcap48hour long short 

film challenge. 

Director Casey Anderson(17) says the 

weekend was full of laughs as she and 

her teamraced against the clock to 

script, shoot and edit ashort filmfor 48 

Hours,New Zealand’s largestannual 

guerrilla film making competition. It was 

started in 2003 with just 44 teams 

competinginAuckland only. 

Now in its 20thyear, it has spread 

nationwide with 555 teams of student and 

adult aspiringfilm makers competing to 

produce their masterpieces in just48 

hours,from Friday evening untilSunday 

evening. 

They chose agenre from avery small 

and definedset of ideas, build ascript 

aroundtheircharacters,and then shoot, 

edit and upload it for the regional 

competitions. 

If lucky, their entry will make the 

national final and Sir Peter Jacksonwill 

personally select three special wildcard 

films from all the entriestoalso appear 

beforethe judges. 

For the seven strong Oxford crew of 

year 9to13students,itwas the first time 

Budding Spielbergs ... The Oxford Area School’s 48 Hour film making crew from left, 

Isabella EgintonAbbott (15), Tyler Blomfield (15), Casey Anderson (17), Lucy Snell (15), and

the school had competedinthis mad cap 

weekend of adventure and fun. Casey 

saystheir script was the classic 

Hollywood swap sexes theme. Lead actor 

Isabella EgintonAbbott (15)playsa 

young man Jesse, who wakes up to 

discover he is ashe –hencethe toaster, 

it’sthe moment of discovery and it 

wouldn't pop on cue. 

Director of photography Tyler 

Blomfield (15) sayshehad four cameras 

to monitor all the time during the 

shootingphase —one DSLR and three 

cellphones —and kept forgettingwhich 

one’s were on or off. Assistant director 

LucySnell (15), did everything to keep 

the shooting on schedule, while Hannah 

Langford managed the soundboom, 

keeping it out of shot. 

ActorsZoey Anderson (14) and Jack 

Benbowplayed Jesse’s BFFs.The toaster 

scene was justone of many scenesshot in 

and around Oxford on Saturday. Another 

involved the public toilets,where 

Isabella had to run into the men'sand 

discover aman there. Casey, an aspiring 

film maker, got the idea to enter fromher 

media studies class. 

‘‘I asked around if anyone wants to join 

me and all these greatpeoplefrom the 

other drama classesresponded. It was so 

much fun, there was alot of laughing, a 

lot of screamingand yet somehow we 

managed it all,’’ said Casey.

Motoring Guide 

WINTER DRIVING – 

WHY DO INEED 

TO SLOW DOWN? 

With the change in seasons comes changeable conditions 

on our roads and while early morning frosts might be 

an anticipated result after overnight low temperatures, 

drivers need to be aware that conditions can combine to 

create hazards at other times of the day also. 

Council contractors start inspecting roads from around 5am 

checking where areas of ice may be present and laying grit 

where needed. 

However grit only improves friction by about 15% so you only 

have around 40% of dry road skid resistance says Council’s 

Roading and Transport Manager, Joanne McBride. 

“Where possible drivers should drive onthe grit, not in the 

wheel tracks, to maximise its effectiveness.” 

Ice can form quickly atany time of the day so when temperatures 

are lowassume the road will be slippery and reduce your speed. 

Black ice can’tbeseen so you won’t know until you hit it. 

Areas that are prone to icing over are inspected first, but 

sometimes temperatures can cause ice to form in areas where 

it normally wouldn’t or appear later than it usually does. 

Bridge decks are often one of the first areas to ice up and 

extreme care should be taken. 

Drivers can reduce the likelihood of risk by reducing speed 

as well as maintaining asafe following distance to the car 

in front. 

Stretches of road that have high hedging on the northerly side 

or are in valleys can have icy conditions all day as aresult of 

little or no sun. 

Sunstrikeisalso amajor riskfor drivers at this time of the year. 

“Making sure your car windows are clean, inside and out, and 

that you have agood visor or sunglasses to help minimise the 

glare is important,” Joanne says. 

Some key tips for driving to the conditions include: 

• Check your vehicle is winter-ready – tyres are in good 

condition and at correct pressure, windscreen wipers are 

clean and work well, windscreens, windows and mirrors are 

clear of ice and moisture 

• Reduce your speed 

• Allow extra time for your journey 

• Leave more space between you and other vehicles 

• Make sure you have your headlights on in fog and low light 

• Avoid braking or accelerating suddenly 

• Pay attention tosignage with warnings of ice and grit 

• Familiarise yourself with what technology your vehicle 

does or doesn’t have such as Antilock Braking System 

(ABS) and know the correct way tooperate your vehicle in 

all conditions

Brakes could be put 

on town speedsters 



Alittle known rule change could 

pave the way for speed limit changes 

in towns across New Zealand. 

The Waimakariri District Council 

will decide at its September meeting 

whethertoask Waka KotahiNew 

Zealand Transport Agency to reduce 

the speed limit on Oxford’s Main 

Street, between BurnettStreetand 

Bay Road, from 50kphto40kph. 

This was made possible by anew 

Land Transport Rule signed off by 

Transport MinisterMichael Wood in 

April. 

The OxfordOhoka Community 

Boardgave its supporttothe 

proposalearlier this month. 

‘‘We have looked at it fairly 

seriously for the last five years,’’ 

boardchairperson Doug Nicholl 

said. 

‘‘There’salot of older people in 

Oxford who won’t crossthe street 

because the traffic is too fast.’’ 

He said it showed the power of 

localrepresentation, as Oxford 

residents have been asking for the 

speedlimit to be changed for a 

number of years. 

The council had previously 

rejected aproposal to reducethe 

speedlimit to 40kphasrecently as 

December last year. 

This decision followed aperiodof 

consultation with the community. 

At the timecouncilstaff cited the 

cost of around $450,000tomake the 

necessary infrastructure and traffic 

calming changes. 

Oxford’s MainStreetisonState 

Highway 72, the Inland Scenic 

Route, making it abusyroad for 

trucks and traffic passing through. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon 

said the new Land Transport Rule 

meantthose infrastructure changes 

were no longer required before 

changing the speed limit. 

The Land Transport Rulefor the 

Setting of Speed Limitsstates under 

clause2.6 that councils could seek 

the approval of the WakaKotahi 

director to set aspeedlimit, 

provided it has consulted with the 

community. 

Signage, roadmarking and 

upgrades to the pedestrian crossings 

will still be requiredtosupport a 

40kph speed limit,atanestimated 

cost of $58,000. 

‘‘We now havethe ability to make 

that decision and we’ve had an 

indication that Waka Kotahi will 

look favourably on the speed limit 

change,’’ Mr Gordonsaid.

15month old Jack Russell, 

Poppy, has been ahit with

‘‘We sell practically 

everything,’’ Abbey says. 

That includes, abig range of

Flooding issue 

in the spotlight 



Rural Waimakaririresidents 

wantaction to resolve ongoing 

floodingissues. 

Swannanoaresident Mark 

Beckett saidhis neighbours in 

BrownsRoadhad been 

‘‘fightingwiththe council’’ for 

several years over flooding 

which he believedwas due to 

an ‘‘illegal diversion of a 

natural watercourse’’. 

‘‘This diversion is resulting 

in water flowingdown North 

EyreRoad andisaffecting 

residents at 611and 621 North 

EyreRd. Unfortunatelythere 

has been little or no 

maintenance of the flowpaths 

and thereseems to be no 

design code for entranceways 

thatcross natural water flow 

paths,whichisadding to or in 

somecases causing these 

issues. 

‘‘It'snot fair to the affected 

property owners and whilethe 

council might like to blame 

globalwarming, localswitha 

history herewill tell youof 

highwater flows as far backas 

1945.’’ 

Waimakariri District 

Council utilities androading 

manager Gerard Cleary said 

the areainquestion 

experienced flooding issues 

during large rainfall events. 

‘‘The water ways throughthe 

BrownsRoadand North Eyre 

Roadareaare naturally 

occurring undercurrent 

channels thatcan flow for 

extended periods of time 

followinglargerainfallevents. 

There havebeenflooding 

issues reported in theseareas 

in the past as aresult of large 

rainfall events, including the 

2008and 2014 events.’’ 

‘‘MrBeckett hadlodgeda 

service request and council 

staff would be following up,’’ 

Mr Cleary said. Thecouncil 

had been aware of awaterway 

runningthrough843 North 

EyreRoad,whichhad been 

diverted in thepast.He 

plannedtofollow up with 

EnvironmentCanterbury to 

check if the works required 

consent. 

As thisareawas outside of a 

drainagerating area, the 

landowner would be liablefor 

any costs to maintain the 

diverted channel. 

Mr Cleary saidwhile there 

had been major rain eventsin 

the past, climate change was 

having an impact. 

‘‘Aswith allflooding issues, 

climate change willhave an 

impact over time.Wehave 

experienced extremelyhigh

Optimism grows for cereal crops 


The country’sarable sector appears to be 

on aroll according to national media 

reports, withproduction reportedly 

increasing by 30 percent in the pastthree 

years. 

Hereinthe Waimakariri/Hurunui 

districts, that sameoptimism prevails 

withthe operator of thelargestcereal 

breeding programme in the country also 

looking forwardtogrowth and expansion. 

Luisetti Seeds’ VincentLuisetti says it 

is lookinggood afteracouple of years of 

up and downs in themarket. 

He sayslast year, notenough wheat was 

planted. 

‘‘Sowingswerebacksomewhere 

between30and 40% and combined witha 

terribleharvest and very wet weather, 

produced poorquality and lowwheat 

yield from farmers, creating bigshortages 

in the country. 

‘‘TraditionallySouthIslandwheatstays 

hereand onlyavery little specialist 

wheat makes it waynorth for milling, 

while theNorthIsland importsmost of 

their wheatfrom Australia. 

‘‘Upuntilacouple of years ago 270,000 

tonneswent intothe North Island for 

flour milling while100,000tonnes was 

grown in theSouthIsland. 

‘‘But last yeartherewas only about 

60,000tonnes harvested here, and that 

created abig shortagearound the 

country. 

‘‘Inthe pastthe South Island also 

imported abit of Aussiewheat formilling, 

but as aresult of ourcereal breeding 

programmedevelopments, we have been 

abletobreed wheat thatperforms much 

better in theflour mills. As aresultthe 

South Island has becomepretty much 

selfsufficient in wheat production. 

‘‘The quality is so highnow we no 

longer havetomix in Australianwheat to 

bring it up in qualityaswehad to do 10 

years ago.’’ 

He saysthe currentUkraine/Russia 

conflict,which impactson28% of the 

globaltraded wheat, hasn’thad too much 

of an effectyet on NewZealandasall our 

imported wheat comes from Australia. 

‘‘But Australiahas accesstoawider 

globaldistribution network andbecause 

of demandfromEurope they havepushed 

pricesup.’’ 

Mr Luisettisaysitwould be nice to grow 

morewheat and send it to the North 

Island, but unfortunatelythe high 

transportation costs made this 

uneconomical. 

‘‘LuisettiSeeds is partnered withPlant 

&Food Research,and we breed the 

majority of wheat for milling wheat 

operations in the NewZealandmarket.’’ 

He saysthe Luisetti/Plant&Food 

Research breeding programmeare 

workingonmany newinitiatives thatwill 

benefitcereal growers in the areas of 

diseaseand pestresistance,and are 

developingwheatseedsthatrequire less 

nitrogen to produce high quality milling

Mr Luisetti says themajorityofthe

Canterbury, withlittlegrown in North

‘‘This is duetothe subdivisionofland 

here and increased dairy farmingand 

dairy supportoperations.’’ 

Themajority of grain grown in New 

Zealandisfor feed, not milling, he says. 

It is widelyusedasasupplement feed 

on dairy farms,resulting in NewZealand 

grain prices beingdriven by NZ dairy 

prices. 

‘‘However thisyear, there has beena 

considerableincrease in planting wheat

‘‘Butthisisbalancedbyhugeincreases

Mr Luisetti says theoutlook remains

Finals loom for Rangiora hockey teams 

HOCKEY 

Only three Rangiora Hockey Club teams 

remain in the hunt for competition titles 

as the end of season nears. 

Last year's Mid Week Women's 

Division 1champions, the Rangiora 

Hurunui Hares finished regular season 

in second place, so face Carlton 

Redcliffs White in their semi final this 

week. 

The Hares have aone win, one loss 

record against the second Carlton team 

but were hoping to right the record and 

prevent an all Carlton final. 

Rangiora's Mighty Mid Week Men kept 

its hopes of finals glory in the Division 1 

Mid Week competition alive with an 

upset win over Southern in their semi 

final clash at Nga Puna Wai. 

After aheavy loss to the same team 

just three weeks ago, Rangiora was long 

odds to make the final, but the team put 

in their best performance of the season 

to stun Southern 63. Rangiora took the 

early lead and built on it with regular 

goals before Southern kicked into life 

late to pull it back but in the end their 

efforts were too little to late. 

After winning the Division 2 

competition last year the top Rangiora 

Mid week team will now have the chance 

to go one better by winning the Mid 

Week Division 1competition when they 

play HSOB/Burnside next Monday night. 

The Rangiora Jets will be playing 

Hornby in the final of the Division 2 

Platinum boys competition this Sunday 

after winning their semi final in a 

penalty shootout against Waikirikiri.

Scores were tied at 3all after regular 

time but Rangiora's players prevailed in 

their oneonone with the keeper to 

keep their season alive. 

The Jet's will hold aslight 

psychological advantage going into the 

final having defeated Hornby in the 

preliminary finals just two weeks ago 

and also having come through the 

tougher of the two semis. 

For Rangiora Hockey Club's other 

teams the season ends this coming 

weekend without the chance to add to 

the trophy cabinet.

Rangiora CBK Division 1Women's 

team defeated Southern Sapphires in a 

friendly game while other teams in that 

grade sorted out their finals order. They 

will now play off for 9/10 this weekend. 

After their heartbreaking loss last 

weekend Rangiora Gold will play off for 

3/4 in the Men's Division 2competition, 

while Rangiora Korimako play 

University Amazons to avoid the 

Division 2women's wooden spoon. 

Rangiora Snakes had abig win in 

31 

Platinum boys playoff but both Rangiora 

Kaka and Kakariki girls teams were 

defeated Kaka in apenalty shootout 

with Marist after they drew 1all. 

Rangiora Piwakawaka lost to 

Southern in their last round of Mid 

Week Women's Division 3regular 

season and will playoff against 

University Athenians to avoid the bye in 

its finals round. 

Rangiora Allsorts had an off night 

against Waikirikiri, conceding 4goals in 

the first half, before rallying late to get 

the better of their rivals but was only 

able to get two back.

Nth Canterbury lets victory slip 

RUGBY 

By LINDSAY KERR AND 

PETER WILLIAMS 

It was agame of rugbythat North 

Canterburyshould havewon or even 

drawn, buttwo minutes into extra time 

ahandy Canterbury Maori/WaitahaXV 

had the final say with asuccessful forty 

five metre penalty to giveita2926 

victory. 

Both teams scored four tries on adry 

Kaiapoi playing surface, under sunny 

skies. 

It gave licencetoboth to teams to run 

theballfrom all directions.Maybeit 

was theultimate cause ofNorth 

Canterbury’s downfall when with less 

than two minutes left to play they chose 

to runthe ballfrom deep withintheir 

own halfrather than rumble it among 

theforwards. 

Headcoach Matt Keane said he was 

pleasedhis team had gonefor the win 

rather thansettling foradraw. 

‘‘Ithoughtthe performancewas a 

step up fromlast weektoo. The 

conditionsobviously helped,’’hesaid. 

NorthCanterburyattacked in the 

opening exchanges,but it was the 

Maori team that scored firstafter 

piercing the localdefence line. 

NorthCanterburystruckback from 

the kick off and rightwinger Caleb 

Beck was on handtoreceiveafinal 

pass to setuphis try. ScottAllin 

converted the first of three tries and 

the scores were lockedup. 

Fifteen minutes fromthe half time 

break,Waitahascored aconverted try 

under the posts but five minutes later 

North Canterbury scored its second try 

whenhalfback CodyGrimes scrambled 

overthe lineinawall of jerseys. The 

teams wenttothe breakat14all. 

Theterritorialadvantage and 

possession continued to seasaw in the 

opening exchanges of thesecond half 

beforeanunfortunate handling error 

by North Canterbury inadefensive 

situation was tocount against them. 

This allowedWaitaha to seize on the 

favourablebounce of the loose ballto 

score and retake the lead.

Maori XV taking what could havebeen 

an unbeatable lead, but North 

Canterburyfacingatwelvepoint 

deficit regroupedand the forwards 

tookthe balltothe line with Josh 

Maynard doing the rest and scoring his 

sides thirdtry. 

As full time neared North 

Canterbury’s attackcontinued and this 

time it was Flynn Creanwho scored 

whenthe forwards ushered him across 

theline. 

With lessthen two minutes of injury 

time remaining theNorth Canterbury 

endeavoured to turn defenceinto 

attackbut this faltered,leaving aJack

victory. 

Although it was adisappointingloss

ColtsvWaitaha Colts 

WaitahaColtsran outthe winners by 

315. This was aconvincing victory on 

the scoreboardbut thatdoes nottell 

the fullstory. 

The first half was dominated by the 

blast on the referee’s whistle, 20 

penaltiesbeing awarded in this half 

alone. 

The Waitaha Colts showedsome 

flair, especially in the backs,making 

the most of their opportunities. 

Waitaha scored three tries in thefirst 

halfand anothertwo in the second. 

North Canterbury’s forwardsgained 

afair share of thepossession.No8 

Samson Vea,carried strongly and 

hooker CalebGriffiths also had an 

impressive game. 

North Canterbury had plenty of 

chances on attackbut lackedthe 

Xfactor displayed by itsopponents 

whose defence, too, was muchbetter 

thanNorth Canterbury’s. 

It was not until the final minutes of 

the game thatWaitaha Colts conceded 

atry when North Canterburycentre, 

Ra Eruera, scored.

It was good to see Saracens’ Harry

He ran with purpose breaking a

Anew Komatsu bulldozer, valued at over$1 

million,isthe latest in aseries of recent 

acquisitionsofspecialisedequipment at 

the Kate Valley landfill, says Canterbury 

WasteServices (CWS) regional manager 

RangiLord. 

‘‘TheKomatsu bulldozeristhe third big 

toy we’ve purchasedrecently,’’ says Rangi 

Lord.Itjoins aKomatsu40tonneexcavator 

and an Astra8wheel drive Italianbuilt offroad 

truck used to hoist and transport 

containers intothe landfill. 

‘‘These are seriously impressive 

machinesthat require equally seriousand

The arrivalofnew vehicles means CWS is 

oftenlookingtofind more suitably qualified 

stafftooperatethe machines. Aminimum 

requirement is for people who have 

experience with‘wheels, tracksand rollers’ 

and heavy truckoperations. 

‘‘Ourcurrent staff are experiencedand 

dedicated to workingwith these machines, 

and that’swhatwelook for in new recruits,’’ 

says Mr Lord. 

Extensive training is providedonall 

machinery, and depending on people’s 

skills they can become more specialised 

with one or more vehicles. 

‘‘We alsotrain staff on health and safety 

as operating these machines requires 

constantfocusand attention.’’ 

Employment opportunities are also 

beingcreated by the landfill gas produced 

when organic wastedecomposes in the 

landfill. 

‘‘Thegas is extracted from the landfill 

through areticulation system that 

delivers it to aseries of Jenbacher 

generators that burnthe gas, and turn it 

into electricity.’’ 

Mr Lordsays he needsstafftowork at 

both endsofthe gas management process. 

‘‘We needafieldtechnician to work in 

theextractionside of the gas operation,’’ 

says Mr Lord. 

‘‘We alsoneed atechnician with 

mechanicalorelectricalqualifications 

and experience to work in the generation 

side of the business. 

That personwill require boththe 

necessary skills and areal aptitude for 

working with complex machinery.’’ 

In addition to the opportunities to work 

in the landfill,MrLord says he’s always 

looking for truckand trailerdrivers.

Communities Encouraged to Give 

Feedback on Government’s Housing 

Intensification Changes 

New laws from the Government requiring more 

intense housing will soon be compulsorily reflected in 

the Waimakariri District Plan. 

In December 2021, the Government introduced 

legislation to enable higher density housing tohelp 

address housing supply issues. 

The Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply 

and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 directs 

Councils in five ofthe largest urban environments in 

New Zealand to rezone and adopt Medium Density 

Residential Standards (MDRS) in certain urban areas. 

Theaffected areasinWaimakaririare Rangiora,Kaiapoi, 

Woodend (includingRavenswood) and Pegasus. 

General Manager -Planning, Regulation and 

Environment, Tracy Tierney says the new standards 

will allow development of up to three residential units 

up to three storeys high (11m +1m for pitched roof) 

per site without aresource consent. 

“Council is required to adopt the density standards, 

objectives and policies, meaning there is limited 

scope toinfluence these standards –both by Council 

and the community. 

“However, your submissions on the variation are still 

important and may influence the way inwhich they 

are incorporated into the District Plan -we encourage 

everyone toparticipate inthe process and let Council 

know your views.” 

Residents can make asubmission before 5pm on 

Friday 9September onthe proposed intensification 

rules. For more information on the Amendment Act, 

the Medium Density Residential Standards and how to 

make asubmission are onour website. 

Council Meetings Best Practice 

Review Underway 

The Ombudsman recently announced they are 

carrying out aninvestigation into the way councils 

make decisions under the Local Government Official 

Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA). 

Waimakariri District Council is one of eight councils 

participating inthis investigation. 

Jeff Millward, Acting ChiefExecutive says, “I thinkit’sa 

goodidea and we’re happytobeapart of it because it’s 

only goingtoimprove clarity and build public confidence. 

Iassume we are in the mix because we areone of the 

highestratedcouncils in the country.’’ 

“I thinkthat the Council haveagoodbalanceinplace that 

manages privacy concernsand commercial sensitivity 

alongside being openand transparentindecision 

making. If the outcomefromthis investigationthrows 

up anything of notethen we will take that feedbackon 

board andadjustour practices.” 

This investigation started this month and Council 

staff and elected members will beworking with the 

Ombudsman to provide them with awide range of 

information. The Ombudsman has also requested 

that elected members, staff and the public provide 

feedback via aquestionnaire. 

We encourage you tocomplete the survey –visit our 

website for full details. The closing date for feedback 

is Friday 26 August. 

The investigation should be completed and areport 

available mid-2023.
