Township could double in<br />
size as boundaries pushed<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
DEVELOPERS at Prebbleton<br />
propose to push the township<br />
boundary out across rural<br />
land to the southwest with 527<br />
new sections, bordered by the<br />
national electricity grid.<br />
Birchs Village Ltd and Ngāi<br />
Tahu Property Development<br />
Ltd have increased the number<br />
of sections in the proposed<br />
37ha subdivision on Birchs Rd<br />
from 400 as medium density<br />
provisions are introduced.<br />
If each section was developed<br />
for three dwellings, as would<br />
be allowed under the provisions,<br />
there would be 1581 new<br />
homes at the site.<br />
The district council has<br />
accepted an application from<br />
the developers, named Plan<br />
Change 79, to rezone the rural<br />
land. This means the application<br />
will now be notified for<br />
public submissions, and a hearing<br />
will be held.<br />
PC79 follows two other<br />
controversial Prebbleton plan<br />
changes being adopted by the<br />
district council.<br />
• Turn to page 4<br />
GROWTH: Prebbleton is set to almost double in size as the latest of three plan changes, PC79,<br />
comes before the district council. A subdivision is planned for this land on Birchs Rd, to the<br />
far side of the high voltage transmission lines.<br />
“I wouldn’t have gone<br />
anywhere that didn’t<br />
have capital gain.”<br />
“I think it’s a great deal fairer than some of the other options out<br />
there. And my accountant and solicitor both thought it was a very<br />
good idea. For us capital gain was the deciding factor...<br />
as well as how welcoming everyone is to other family members.”<br />
There are many more reasons why Woodcroft Estate could be the right choice for you.<br />
Generously proportioned homes and a real village feel are just the start of it. Our stages<br />
1and 2 are now sold but why not visit our website or call to ask about our Stage 3 plans.<br />

THE GREAT housing march<br />
continues in all directions.<br />
On page 1 today we<br />
reveal another big housing<br />
development on the horizon,<br />
this time in Prebbleton.<br />
It could mean just over<br />
1500 homes will be built<br />
on what is now farmland<br />
on Birchs Rd, if each of the<br />
527 new sections has three<br />
dwellings as medium density<br />
rules will allow.<br />
Medium density is a<br />
developer’s dream – you get<br />
more bang for your buck.<br />
The new development<br />
will see Prebbleton surge in<br />
size.<br />
With Rolleston and<br />
Lincoln expanding in every<br />
direction, the time will come<br />

Powering up<br />
for the future<br />
With demand for electricity continuing to<br />
grow in Canterbury, Orion is partnering<br />
with Transpower to build a new Grid Exit<br />
Point (GXP) in Norwood, which will deliver<br />
more power to the region.<br />
Our world is changing too and people are<br />
increasingly turning to electricity to reduce<br />
their carbon emissions.<br />
What is a GXP?<br />
A GXP transforms the high voltage<br />
electricity of the national grid to lower<br />
voltage electricity, which can then be used<br />
by homes and businesses. The GXP can<br />
also upload locally-generated electricity<br />
to the national grid.<br />
Why do we need one?<br />
This major new electricity infrastructure<br />
will increase the capacity of the region’s<br />
network by 25 per cent. It will create a more<br />
resilient and reliable network and enable<br />
us to deliver more power to homes and<br />
businesses. In addition, it will allow us to<br />
supply more of the clean energy we need<br />
as we shift away from burning fossil fuels.<br />
Where will it be built?<br />
The new GPX will be located in Norwood,<br />
at the intersection of Highfield Road and<br />
Telegraph Road. It will feature sophisticated<br />
electrical equipment, in a secure compound<br />
surrounded by fencing and native planting.<br />
The project is expected to be completed<br />
by November 2023. If you’d like to keep<br />
up to date as the build progresses,<br />
you can register to receive our Norwood<br />
GXP newsletter by emailing: Orion<br />

Under-strength police station concern<br />
• By Tina Grumball<br />
Lynn<br />
CONCERN IS growing police<br />
chiefs are again considering<br />
cutting back numbers at some<br />
stations in the district to enable<br />
the Rolleston station to operate<br />
24 hours a day.<br />
Lincoln Club<br />
president Lynn<br />
Townsend said<br />
he has been told<br />
if it goes ahead<br />
it would involve<br />
reducing the<br />
township’s station<br />
in Gerald St<br />
from three officers<br />
to one.<br />
Townsend<br />
Other stations could also be<br />
affected. The officers from those<br />
stations would be needed to<br />
bolster Rolleston.<br />
Townsend addressed club<br />
members at a their weekly club<br />
night about his concerns and the<br />
need to maintain police numbers<br />
in Lincoln given the township’s<br />
growth. He urged club members<br />
and other people in the community<br />
to lobby police chiefs.<br />
Canterbury police district<br />
commander Superintendent<br />
John Price said he was “aware of<br />
it” when asked if consideration<br />
was being given to cut numbers<br />
at some stations.<br />
He referred any specific questions<br />
to Canterbury rural police<br />
district commander Inspector<br />
BOLSTER: There is concern officer numbers at some police stations in the district may be<br />
reduced in order to strengthen the Rolleston station (pictured here).<br />
Peter Cooper.<br />
“He’s the lead, not myself,”<br />
Price said.<br />
However, Cooper told the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> there was no plan.<br />
“There is no plan to do anything<br />
to the Lincoln station or<br />
anywhere in <strong>Selwyn</strong>,” he said.<br />
“There is no proposal, there<br />
is nothing to see. We talk about<br />
things, we talk about the best<br />
things to do with our staff. If<br />
there was ever a proposal to<br />
change things, the first people<br />
to see it would be the staff and,<br />
all due respect, it wouldn’t be a<br />
media alley.”<br />
Cooper hoped, as the population<br />
grew, they would be able to<br />
increase staff and resources in<br />
the area.<br />
In late 2019, police confirmed a<br />
review of staffing was underway<br />
and could not rule out cutting<br />
numbers at some stations to<br />
bolster a 24-hour, seven days a<br />
week, service at Rolleston.<br />
Staffing at the Lincoln and<br />
Darfield stations were at the<br />
forefront of that review.<br />
But Covid-19 and lockdowns<br />
put the review on hold and the<br />
Rolleston station’s hours remain<br />
as they were then – 8am-4pm<br />
Monday to Friday.<br />
Springs Ward district councillor<br />
Debra Hasson, said she was<br />
“aware there is some [reorganising]<br />
going on” within the police.<br />
“I do know that this item has<br />
been on the radar for probably<br />
over 12 months now,” she said.<br />
Townsend said it wasn’t fair to<br />
the Lincoln community or the<br />
“lone ranger police [officer]” if<br />
there was to only be one officer at<br />
the Lincoln station.<br />
Denise Cole of community<br />
advocacy group Lincoln Voice,<br />
said any consideration to reduce<br />
policing was bad timing.<br />
“The township is actually<br />
growing and, really, we need to<br />
increase police presence,” she<br />
said.<br />
A <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Patrol<br />
member, Cole said there had<br />
been an increase in crime and<br />
a delay in police response times<br />
would spell trouble.<br />
“The police in Christchurch<br />
are going to be busier and busier.<br />
The police in Rolleston are going<br />
to be busier and busier. So who<br />
is going to come? There won’t be<br />
anybody,” she said,<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton would<br />
not discuss any potential police<br />
changes with the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />
or be drawn on his views if it<br />
happened.<br />
Said Broughton’s media<br />
adviser Sean Tully: “Thank you<br />
for your email to Mayor Sam<br />
which I have discussed with him.<br />
As this is a matter for the police<br />
please would you direct your<br />
questions to their organisation.”<br />
Hasson said it would be “sad”<br />
if a police restructure in the district<br />
meant fewer officer at some<br />
stations.<br />
“Personally I would say that it<br />
would be really quite sad. I think<br />
community policing should<br />
be strengthened in our local<br />
communities,” she said.<br />

These are plan Change PC68,<br />
for 820 sections on 67ha, and<br />
Plan Change 72, for 295 sections<br />
on 28ha. The PC68 decision has<br />
been notified while the PC72<br />
decision has been notified and<br />
appealed.<br />
If all three plan changes went<br />
ahead, Prebbleton would almost<br />
double in size. The township’s<br />
current number of dwellings is<br />
about 1850.<br />
The number of dwellings<br />
would increase even further if<br />
the maximum of three homes<br />
per section was pursued, as is allowed<br />
under the medium density<br />
provisions.<br />
However, the district council<br />
does not believe developers will<br />
necessarily triple the number of<br />
dwellings in each of their plan<br />
change areas, just because they<br />
can. In addition, developers can<br />
introduce covenants to stop individual<br />
section owners doing this.<br />
Strategy and policy planner<br />
Rachael Carruthers told district<br />
councillors at their meeting<br />
last week that, for PC79, the<br />
proposed medium density<br />
provisions created a challenge in<br />
determining the likely number of<br />
dwellings.<br />
Carruthers said three units on<br />
each section would be unlikely<br />
to align with the market demand<br />
for Prebbleton.<br />
“In short, just because the zoning<br />
enables it, does not mean that<br />
it will happen,” Carruthers said.<br />
If the PC79 area, of about 37ha,<br />
was developed to its absolute<br />
maximum, it could have 856<br />
lots, based on a minimum site of<br />
400m2. This gave a theoretical<br />
yield of 2568 units.<br />
“Given that the housing market<br />
in Prebbleton is primarily for<br />
detached family homes, whilst<br />
such an outcome is theoretically<br />
enabled by the proposed zone, in<br />
reality it is considered to be fanciful<br />
that such an intensive development<br />
will eventuate,” she said.<br />
Rather, the developers considered<br />
527 lots to be a more<br />
realistic yield, with an average lot<br />
size of 650m2, and a single dwelling<br />
on each.<br />
“If each of these lots were then<br />
further developed for three units,<br />
the total yield would be 1581<br />
units, although again this is considered<br />
to be extremely unlikely,”<br />
Carruthers said.<br />
Carruthers noted that<br />
PC79 was initially to stretch<br />
from Prebbleton to beyond<br />
Transpower’s Christchurch-<br />
Twizel 220kV transmission<br />
line, which runs along the<br />
rural outskirts of the township.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Medium density could<br />
clash with demand<br />
However, following feedback<br />
from Transpower, the southern<br />
extent was pulled back, so it<br />
will no longer extend under the<br />
transmission corridor.<br />
As district councillors moved<br />
to accept PC79, councillor Sophie<br />
McInnes referred to previous<br />
plan changes and a Sunday<br />
current affairs programme that<br />
aired last week. The programme<br />
covered the controversial PC69<br />
Lincoln South development set<br />
against the backdrop of the loss<br />
of fertile soils nationwide.<br />
McInnes asked if the Government’s<br />
soon-to-be-released National<br />
Policy Statement – Highly<br />
Productive Land (NPS-HPL)<br />
would be able to be taken into account<br />
at the PC79 hearing, even<br />
though the district council was<br />
accepting PC79 now before it had<br />
been released.<br />
Carruthers said the hearing<br />
Commissioner would take into<br />
account all relevant laws and<br />
rules at that time, including the<br />
NPS-HPL.<br />
Government has been accused<br />
of being too slow to release the<br />
NPS-HPL, while the earlier National<br />
Policy Statement – Urban<br />
Development has opened the<br />
door to large-scale subdivisions<br />
across rural land.<br />

ORION AND national power<br />
grid operator Transpower are<br />
to build a new $58 million<br />
grid exit point and supporting<br />
infrastructure to meet record<br />
growth in central Canterbury’s<br />
electricity demand.<br />
The new GXP, to be built<br />
on a 13ha parcel of land in<br />
rural Norwood, will transform<br />
high voltage electricity from<br />
Transpower’s national grid,<br />
down to voltages distributed by<br />
Orion to homes and businesses<br />
in the region.<br />
There are currently two<br />
major 220kV-66kV GXPs in<br />
Orion’s network and the new<br />
Norwood GXP will increase<br />
Orion’s capacity to draw down<br />
power from the national grid by<br />
200MW, or 25 per cent.<br />
Orion group chief executive<br />
Nigel Barbour, said the new<br />
GXP is once in 50-year investment<br />
in the region’s energy<br />
infrastructure.<br />
“For the past 10 years, we’ve<br />
had sustained growth in the<br />
number of new customers connecting<br />
to our network,” he said.<br />
“More than 4100 additional<br />
homes and businesses joined the<br />
network in FY22 and there’s no<br />
sign of that letting up.’’<br />
The new GPX is expected to<br />
be finished by November next<br />

RECYCLED: More than 8000 recycled sneakers were used to bring new life to the concrete basketball courts at Rolleston School. Right – The new<br />
sensory space outside Te Ara Atea was designed in collaboration with Waitaha School students, who have neurodiversities.<br />
Rolleston outdoor spaces win awards<br />
THE TE ARA Atea outdoor<br />
sensory space and Rolleston<br />
School basketball courts and<br />
sports wall have won big at the<br />
<strong>2022</strong> Landscapes of Distinction<br />
Awards.<br />
The projects were among 132<br />
nationally that were entered into<br />
the awards held by Registered<br />
Master Landscapes.<br />
Landscapers Morgan and<br />
Pollard were behind the spaces<br />
which achieved outstanding<br />
success at the ceremony in the<br />
weekend.<br />
The sensory space outside Te<br />
Ara Atea won the premier award<br />
in landscape construction and<br />
a gold medal in the commercial<br />
project: construction over<br />
$100,000 category.<br />
The space offers something<br />
for everyone, including a<br />
wheelchair-activated musical<br />
timber boardwalk and an<br />
individually placed river stone<br />
tactical ‘rumblewalk’.<br />
An innovative and skilfully<br />
constructed entry space for<br />
the new library complex in<br />
Rolleston, it was designed in<br />
collaboration with Waitaha<br />
School, where students have<br />
neurodiversities.<br />
The judges said the overall<br />
design had many carefully<br />
placed textures and elements of<br />
construction.<br />
“A challenging amount of<br />
concrete placed in an exposed<br />
area sits quite seamlessly and<br />
flows into some rumbled finishes<br />
of bricks stacked in soldier<br />
formation, and then some well<br />
laid out mosaic tiled surfaces,”<br />
the panel said.<br />
“Special attention has been<br />
paid to avoid sharp lipping and<br />
dangerous edges which could<br />
harm children, and these have<br />
been wonderfully set into place.”<br />
They also noted the curved<br />
timber shapes which were not<br />
an easy undertaking and had<br />
been completed to a very high<br />
level.<br />
The Rolleston School<br />
basketball courts and sports<br />
wall received the <strong>2022</strong> Judges<br />
Recognition award.<br />
A vibrant new multi-sport<br />
space had been created by<br />
upgrading the courts; more than<br />
8000 recycled sneakers built<br />
the recycled rubber surface and<br />
brought new life to the concrete<br />
courts beneath.<br />
The sports wall was a custom<br />
design feature that encouraged<br />
the creation of entirely new ball<br />
sports as children learn to play<br />
and adapt to the large void in the<br />
middle of the wall.<br />
“The recycled rubber surface is<br />
a mosaic of colour, and the clever<br />
patterning not only delineates<br />
full-size and half-size basketball<br />
courts but sets up opportunities<br />
for other sporting activities,” the<br />
judges said.<br />
“The new wall with its large<br />
window create the perfect<br />
opportunity for children to<br />
invent new ball games.”<br />
Registered Master Landscapes<br />
chief executive Janine Scott,<br />
congratulated all the award<br />
winners from across New<br />
Zealand and acknowledged<br />
the 50 per cent increase in the<br />
number of entrants this year.<br />
“This represents a major step<br />
forward,” she said.<br />
“The landscape industry is<br />
going from strength to strength,<br />
with so much young talent<br />
entering the industry and some<br />
extraordinary projects being<br />
undertaken by businesses<br />
throughout New Zealand.

was being sought from Ukraine<br />
following the death of Burnhambased<br />
Corporal Dominic<br />
Abelen, but there is still no<br />
information about how or when<br />
his body will be returned home<br />
to New Zealand.<br />
Abelen died fighting Russian<br />
forces while on leave without pay<br />
and was not on active duty.<br />
“Unfortunately, of course, it is<br />
a war zone that he has been lost<br />
in,” she told TVNZ’s Breakfast<br />
show.<br />
“So we are very constrained<br />
in this environment – either<br />
getting good information, but<br />
also in being able to provide assistance<br />
on the ground.”<br />
She said there is no consular<br />
support on the ground – the<br />
nearest being in Warsaw, Poland,<br />
which is about a 13-hour<br />
drive away.<br />
There are also no foreign armies<br />
or partners that New Zealand<br />
would otherwise normally<br />
work with – none of whom are<br />
present in Ukraine.<br />
“It’s Ukrainian forces and it’s<br />
Russian forces – and that makes<br />
it very difficult for us.”<br />
Ardern said authorities are<br />
trying to glean additional information<br />
on the ground. However,<br />
she acknowledged that it was<br />
very hard to understand how accurate<br />
that information is.<br />
Dominic<br />
Abelen was<br />
killed while<br />
fighting in<br />
Ukraine.<br />
“But what information we<br />
have, we’re sharing directly with<br />
the family rather than putting<br />
into the public domain.”<br />
Ardern said she has received<br />
more information than what<br />
has been publicly shared, and<br />
reassured that Abelen’s family is<br />
aware of all the details that she<br />
has.<br />
Speaking to AM, Ardern said<br />
the reasons for not sharing more<br />
with the public was due to privacy<br />
and security issues.<br />
She said the information they<br />
are receiving has been difficult<br />
to confirm.<br />
“[There are] high levels of uncertainty<br />
because of course it’s a<br />
war zone,” she said.<br />
Ardern said she does expect to<br />
receive support from the Russian<br />
Embassy in New Zealand.<br />
“Obviously this is a war that<br />
is unprovoked and unjustified<br />
at the hands of Russia so, as you<br />
can imagine, you would have<br />
seen from their treatment of<br />
other foreign nationals, that this<br />
is not an area at all that I would<br />
expect them to be supportive,”<br />
she said.<br />
Asked by RNZ if Abelen’s<br />
body was in the arms of Russia,<br />
Ardern couldn’t confirm.<br />
She said whether the responsibility<br />
to bring Abelen’s body<br />
back belonged to the Government<br />
or not was not so black and<br />
white.<br />
“The issue is are we even going<br />
to have the ability?” she told<br />
RNZ.<br />
Of 94 defence force staff<br />
currently on leave without pay,<br />
Ardern said the NZDF was not<br />
aware of any of them being in<br />
Ukraine.<br />
“Of course, if you’re on leave<br />
without pay, the expectation is<br />
that you not be in Ukraine,” said<br />
Ardern.<br />
Abelen had not been given<br />
permission to enter Ukraine and<br />
he had not told them about his<br />
plans, the NZDF said in a statement.<br />
“It is not known how many<br />
NZDF personnel on leave without<br />
pay may be in Ukraine. No<br />
personnel have been approved<br />
by NZDF to enter the country,”<br />
the statement said.<br />
It declined to say whether it<br />
was checking the whereabouts of<br />
all its soldiers on leave, including<br />
those on leave without pay.<br />
Ex-soldier and former mayor<br />
of Tauranga Tenby Powell is in<br />
Ukraine providing humanitarian<br />
aid and helping with the<br />
evacuation of civilians.<br />
He was working closely with<br />
the Defence Force to bring back<br />
the body, he has said.<br />

A FATHER who deliberately drove<br />
off the road at 130km/h, killing his<br />
six-year-old son in a fiery car crash,<br />
has been jailed for five years.<br />
An emotional sentencing hearing<br />
at the High Court in Christchurch<br />
yesterday heard from Lachlan Gebhardt’s<br />
heartbroken mother Kim<br />
Manson who called her ex-partner<br />
Niklas Gebhardt a “coward” and a<br />
“monster”.<br />
Manson said her “beautiful,<br />
sweet son” – who she called her best<br />
friend – was killed in a “planned<br />
and calculated” act.<br />
While she knows Gebhardt – who<br />
claims he has amnesia and cannot<br />
remember why he drove off the<br />

road – was convicted on a charge of<br />
manslaughter, she said it will always<br />
be murder to her.<br />

abou the sp ed and volume of traffic,<br />
including heavy vehicles, using<br />

City council staff have since done<br />
an a se sment of the road and have<br />
proposed a number of changes to<br />
make it safer.<br />
The changes, which are now out<br />
for publi consultation, include<br />
a ding a new pedestrian refuge<br />

constructing a shared 3m pathway<br />

The sp ed limit on Waterl o Rd<br />

City council transport operations<br />
manager Stephen Wright said the<br />
proposed changes on Waterl o Rd<br />
wi l make the road environment<br />
safer for everyone.<br />
“Waterl o Rd is a very busy road<br />

Prebbleton Domain’s<br />
$330,000 pump track has got<br />
the thumbs up from users as<br />
it opens to the public.<br />
“It’s pretty fun,” said<br />
13-year-old Prebbleton<br />
scooter rider Jamie Gray,<br />
who was at the track on<br />
Thursday.<br />
“It gives the skills,” added<br />

The track is a continuous<br />

corners, designed for bikes,<br />
scooters, skates, roller<br />

Rain delayed the finishing<br />

12 <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> Wednesday <strong>August</strong> <strong>31</strong> <strong>2022</strong>
“IS THERE a housing crisis<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong>?” “Probably not”<br />
responded Tim Harris, manager<br />
of environmental and regulatory<br />
services, <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Council, to a question asked by<br />
TV One’s ‘Sunday’.<br />
So, if there is “probably not” a<br />
housing crisis in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, why are<br />
there multiple subdivisions for<br />
housing being developed here?<br />
As far back as the 1960s there<br />
was concern that prime land was<br />
being planted in housing instead<br />
of seeds. Most relevant being<br />
Pukekohe, and the Heretaunga<br />
plains near Napier and Hastings.<br />
In <strong>August</strong> 2019 the Government<br />
launched a National Policy<br />
Statement draft plan for Highly<br />
Productive Land – a move to<br />
protect elite soils.<br />
This plan was released by<br />
Environment Minister David<br />
Parker and Agriculture Minister<br />
Damien O’Connor.<br />
“Our land is a precious taonga<br />
– an irreplaceable treasure and<br />
a source of life and wellness for<br />
our country,” O’Connor said.<br />
“Once productive land is built<br />
on we can’t use it for food production,<br />
which is why we need to<br />
act now.”<br />
That was three years ago, so<br />
what has happened since?<br />
A lot. Developers have been<br />
acting!<br />
In a radio broadcast in February,<br />
Michelle Sands from Horticulture<br />
NZ said the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district<br />
had 18 private Plan Change<br />
applications in front of them.<br />
Fourteen of the 18 were on<br />
productive land.<br />
“The NPS-HPL was imminent,”<br />
she said.<br />
Following the council meeting,<br />
which approved the Lincoln<br />
PC69 subdivision, Councillor<br />
Sophie McInnes said: “PC69<br />
has neatly slipped in before the<br />
NPS-HPL was finalised.” Her<br />
justifiable attempt to have<br />
the decision delayed was<br />
unsuccessful.<br />
Why?<br />
From Tim Harris in the<br />
‘Sunday’ programme when asked<br />
if there would have been more<br />
clarity if the NPS-HPL had been<br />
finalised: “Yes, it would have,<br />
yes”.<br />
What if not in place? “A degree<br />
of frustration, but we don’t know<br />
if it would have stopped this<br />
development.”<br />
From ‘Sunday’, Environment<br />
Minister David Parker was<br />
quoted as saying: “There is<br />
nothing stopping councils<br />
protecting this land (HPL) in<br />
their own plans.”<br />
Why has the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Council not taken the initiative<br />
and used commonsense to have<br />
done so?<br />
Direct developers to<br />
stoney ground to plant their<br />
houses, and support/subsidise<br />
HPL owners to plant seeds to<br />
feed the need.<br />

Leeston<br />
Ellesmere, Trices<br />
Rd<br />
I regularly travel on this road<br />
between Halswell and Rolleston,<br />
and every single time I ask<br />
myself why the intersection has<br />
this configuration as I believe it<br />
is not well planned. I would like<br />
to know if a risk assessment has<br />
been carried out.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Travelling from Rolleston to<br />
Halswell, you come to a give<br />
way sign at the intersection and<br />
have to look to your right down<br />
Ellesmere Rd, as the give way<br />
sign is on quite a sharp bend.<br />
Trices Rd actually runs all the<br />
way up to Sabys Road in a relatively<br />
straight line, but for some<br />
odd reason the straight through<br />
traffic on Trices Rd has to give<br />
way to the traffic coming from<br />
Ellesmere Rd.<br />
Travelling from Halswell to<br />
Rolleston there is no give way<br />
sign at the intersection, even<br />
though the traffic continuing<br />
down Trices Rd crosses over the<br />
path of the traffic coming along<br />
Ellesmere Rd.<br />
It makes much more sense to<br />
allow the traffic on Trices Rd to<br />
have the right of way, and place<br />
a give way sign so the traffic on<br />
Ellesmere Rd (where the traffic<br />
has to turn the sharp bend) has<br />
to give way.<br />
Problem solved.<br />
- Christine Parker<br />
New library<br />
I live in Greendale and am<br />
a fairly frequent visitor to<br />
Rolleston. Most times I use the<br />
Darfield Library, but on occasion<br />
I have dropped off or borrowed<br />
books from Rolleston.<br />
I am not impressed with the<br />
new library for the following<br />
reasons:<br />
1. Not having the library on<br />
the ground floor. There is no<br />
visual appearance of there being<br />
a library when one goes past the<br />
building. We took a considerable<br />
time to find the library when it<br />
shifted.<br />

Far too much empty space and<br />

‘It rocked me to the core’<br />
says peace train helper<br />
WHEN THE call went out for<br />
volunteers to run the Peace<br />
Train that Yusuf Islam gifted to<br />
Christchurch after the mosque<br />
attacks, Andrew Wilson knew he<br />
had to put his hand up.<br />
One of his workmates was at<br />
the mosque when the attacks<br />
occurred and witnessed the<br />
shootings.<br />
“He rang me as he was due<br />
back to work on a project with<br />
me, saying there had been an<br />
event,’’ Wilson recalls.<br />
“It rocked me to the core – my<br />
peace-loving friend had been<br />
through such an ordeal. It took a<br />
long time for him to recover. He<br />
lost his best friend and flatmate.’’<br />
Wilson did all that he could<br />
to support his workmate in the<br />
months that followed.<br />
When he heard the city<br />
council was looking for<br />
volunteers to help run the Peace<br />
Train, the 55-year-old saw<br />
another way to show his support<br />
so he volunteered to train the<br />
train drivers.<br />
“I have been involved<br />
with trains since my earliest<br />
memories. I have been known,<br />
accused even, of being obsessed<br />
with them. It’s not too far from<br />
the truth.’’<br />
He collects model trains,<br />
The Al Noor mosque<br />
has a huge garden railway in<br />
his backyard, and is railway<br />
manager at Steam Scene<br />
McLeans Island. He is also<br />
involved with the Little River<br />
Railway Station Trust and a<br />
member of miniature railway at<br />
Halswell.<br />
As a grandfather, Wilson says<br />
he loves putting a smile on kids’<br />
faces and sharing his passion for<br />
trains with others. His years of<br />
experience with trains means<br />
that he knows exactly what it<br />
takes to be a good train driver.<br />
“Reasonable fitness, good<br />
health, a keen eye, a happy<br />
disposition and a willingness to<br />
make someone’s day,’’ he said.<br />
Wilson is part of a team of 40<br />
volunteers who will be helping to<br />
run the Peace Train.<br />
Co-ordinating the volunteers<br />
is Brendon Eason. His wife,<br />
Elizabeth, has also volunteered<br />
to be a driver and conductor.<br />
“My wife and I saw the article<br />
about the council seeking<br />
volunteers and thought it was<br />
awesome. What a wonderful<br />
idea to promote unity and<br />
peace through families in<br />
Christchurch. This is what we<br />
believe in and what we support,’’<br />
said Eason.<br />
“We want to bring smiles to<br />
faces and joy to people’s hearts.<br />
Even on our training run we had<br />
a group of older people taking<br />
photos and their faces told the<br />
story – they were smiling and<br />

Yusuf Islam (previously<br />
known as Cat Stevens)<br />
gifted the miniature train to<br />
Christchurch after the 2019<br />
mosque attacks on the<br />
condition it would run in<br />
a central location and that<br />
the rides would be free for<br />
the people of the city. The<br />
electric battery powered<br />
train in South Hagley Park<br />
will have its first public run<br />
on Sunday, September 4, and will run from 10am-<br />
4pm on the first and third Sunday of each month,<br />
apart from June, July and <strong>August</strong>. The 13-metre long<br />
train can carry about 16 people and is wheelchair<br />
accessible.<br />
laughing and they all wanted a<br />
ride.’’<br />
Eason said the Peace Train is<br />
an amazing gift and he cannot<br />
wait to take people for a ride<br />
on it.<br />

TWO ROLLESTON College<br />
students operate a home-based<br />
production line recycling<br />
thousands of two-litre milk<br />
bottles.<br />
Levente Scott and Alex Blakie<br />
began by melting a few bottles<br />
on a barbecue, as they saw an<br />
opportunity for making sturdy<br />
plastic sheets which would have<br />
multiple applications.<br />
“We were really interested in<br />
environmental sustainability,<br />
and we saw plastic as a big problem<br />
in our community,” Levente<br />
said.<br />
They came up with the concept<br />
as part of business studies last<br />
year, and have continued developing<br />
the idea in their year 13<br />
class this year.<br />
Their production line has gone<br />
from wooden moulds shaping a<br />
few melted plastic bottles off the<br />
barbecue, to a multi-stage operation<br />
in Levente’s home garage.<br />
It is capable of recycling 145<br />
milk bottles per hour, but generally<br />
they are recycling about 100<br />
per week.<br />
They make plastic sheets 33cm<br />
by 59cm.<br />
Currently they are cutting<br />
shapes of letters and numbers<br />
from them, making decorative<br />
letter stands, mailbox numbers<br />
and educational kits. The kits<br />
are sets of letters and numbers<br />
to help children learn words and<br />
sums. One is currently being<br />
trialled at Rolleston School.<br />
Potential applications of the<br />
sheets in future include roadside<br />
reflector posts, garden stakes,<br />
table tops and outside containers<br />
such as bins.<br />
“The good thing about plastic<br />
is it can stay outside, it can resist<br />
UV, it can resist water. So any<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
outside application that fits as<br />
a sheet size could be made,”<br />
Levente said.<br />
“We want to scale this business<br />
as far as we can, beyond just<br />
plastic letters. We want to create<br />
real change in the way plastic is<br />
looked at and reused.”<br />
The pair were currently<br />
investigating if they could use<br />
other plastic products, after a<br />
local business got in touch. It<br />
was wanting to donate damaged<br />
plastic coat hangers, as it was<br />
throwing out about 20,000 of<br />
these a month.<br />
Levente and Alex’s initial<br />
source of used milk bottles was<br />
Rolleston cafes, but after a while<br />
it had become time consuming<br />
to visit them all. Now they have<br />
the support of Anchor, which<br />

Turning plastic waste into usable sheets<br />
ENTERPRISE: Levente Scott (left) and Alex Blakie have built a plastics production line<br />
capable of recycling 145 two-litre milk bottles per hour.<br />
Wednesday <strong>August</strong> <strong>31</strong> <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
delivers used bottles directly to<br />
their door.<br />
Getting their production line<br />
up to speed had been a labour<br />
of love. A heated press machine,<br />
to replace the barbecue, was the<br />
first step.<br />
“This was a six month project<br />
and the machine works by<br />
using 12 heating cartridges<br />
placed above and below the two<br />
aluminium plates which heat the<br />
plastic to 205 deg C. A car scissor<br />
jack then presses the two plates<br />
together which removes any<br />
air bubbles and helps combine<br />
colours,” Levente explained.<br />
They had spent hundreds of<br />
hours testing moulds, cutting<br />
processes and ways to shred the<br />
plastic. At the start of this year<br />
Levente managed to convince<br />
his parents to let them convert<br />
the home garage to house their<br />
developing production line.<br />
“We spent the next eight<br />
months building five more<br />
versions of moulds, we rebuilt<br />
the heated press machine two<br />
more times. We then built a<br />
plastic shredding machine and<br />
plastic cleaning station from<br />
scratch.”<br />
The pair have entered this<br />
year’s Young Enterprise Scheme,<br />
where their business idea will<br />
be judged against those from<br />
other senior secondary students<br />
nationwide.<br />

Ellesmere beaten in shield match<br />
NORTH CANTERBURY scored early, late<br />
and held their line intact throughout to<br />
reclaim country rugby’s coveted Southbridge<br />
Shield from Ellesmere.<br />
Played for the first time since 2019 due to<br />
the Covid-19 pandemic, North Canterbury<br />
triumphed 13-0 at Lincoln Domain on Saturday<br />
on the back of two tries inside the opening<br />
10 minutes and a penalty as full-time loomed.<br />
Second five-eighths Mike Keane and loosehead<br />
prop Rawhiri Karena crossed before<br />
replacement back Scott Allin slotted a threepointer.<br />
“We sat on our lead for 70 minutes, Ellesmere<br />
only breached our line on two occasions,”<br />
said North Canterbury Rugby general<br />
manager Craig Mullen.<br />
North Canterbury previously won the shield<br />
in 2018 before Ellesmere reclaimed it the following<br />
season.<br />
“It’s been sitting gathering dust for a couple<br />
of years, we’ve been waiting to get it back. It’s<br />
the jewel in the crown of country rugby,” said<br />
Mullen of a trophy that was first up for grabs<br />
in 1923.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s economic boom continues<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s economy continues to be one of the strongest performers<br />
in the country according to new economic figures.<br />
The latest quarterly figures from economic analysts Infometrics<br />
show the district’s economy grew by 6.2% to the year to June <strong>2022</strong><br />
compared to national growth of 0.9%. In the three months to June<br />
<strong>2022</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> had the second fastest growing economy in the<br />
country, with GPD up 6.9%.<br />
CULTUREFEST CELEBRATING<br />
ACROSS SELWYN<br />
CultureFest is back with an even bigger line up of events, classes and exhibitions across the<br />
district to celebrate the many diverse backgrounds that make up our community.<br />
The popular annual gala has expanded, with a full line up of events over two weeks from<br />
10-25 September across the district.<br />
The annual Lincoln CultureFest day also returns to Lincoln Domain. After a year off due to<br />
COVID-19, participants are looking forward to being back with a vibrant celebration, taking<br />
all the senses on a trip around the world right at Lincoln Domain with food, games<br />
and performances.<br />
"It's going to be an exciting fortnight. There’s going to be so much to explore and enjoy about<br />
what makes Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> what it is today and hopefully help us build closer community<br />
bonds into the future,” Council Group Manager Community Services and Facilities Denise<br />
Kidd says.<br />
Sport and dance are big parts of the wider CultureFest sessions with opportunities to try<br />
Futsal and Budo, or dance around the world with Afro dance, through traditional Chinese<br />
Lion Dance and Scottish dancing to more contemporary fusion of Bollywood and even K-pop.<br />
Other events range from an Iranian morning tea or Japanese storytime through to exhibitions<br />
on the immigrant journey experience, Rangoli Art, Italian for beginners and the return of the<br />
popular Put Down Your Roots planting day.<br />
Sharing favourite dishes is the theme for this year’s Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> series. End each day<br />
by tuning into 96.9 PlainsFM at 5pm to listen as a series of <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents share their<br />
journeys to <strong>Selwyn</strong> and how to cook their favourite dish live on air, Monday, Tuesday and<br />
Thursdays from 12-22 September. Or you can listen via the podcasts on Spotify, iTunes,<br />

Celebrating outstanding community service<br />
in Malvern<br />
The long-awaited Malvern Community Service Awards returned last Monday, to recognise<br />
outstanding voluntary service in the Malvern community.<br />
After a two year gap due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 11 people received awards at the ceremony.<br />
The Hororata Community Response Team was recognised for its efforts supporting and<br />
preparing the community for Civil Defence emergencies.<br />
Nine Community Service Awards were also given to long-standing volunteers.<br />
Rob Frew was recognised for his prolonged involvement with the Darfield Cricket Club,<br />
coaching young Malvern cricketers and looking after the cricket grounds.<br />
Allison Rosanowski was<br />
acknowledged for supporting the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Sister City Committee<br />
for many years, connecting <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
to our sister cities including in Japan,<br />
China and Indonesia and encouraging<br />
educational opportunities.<br />
Melissa Jebson received her award<br />
for promoting and organising many<br />
performing arts events in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
Sara Syme for her volunteer work with<br />
Plunket and the Darfield Toy Library.<br />
Employment continued to grow strongly, with a 7.7% increase<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents employed compared to the previous year –<br />
more than double the national average of 3.2%, while <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
unemployment rate was at 2.2% compared to 3.3% nationally.<br />
Consumer spending increased by 13.3% compared with 2.8%<br />
growth across Canterbury, underpinned, Infometrics says, by<br />
the district’s strong population growth. This was also shown in<br />
the ongoing building boom, with the Council’s consents team<br />
consenting over 1,100 new houses in the first half of this year.<br />
House prices continued to rise, with the Infometrics figures<br />
showing house values up almost 30% from June last year,<br />
compared to a 9% growth nationally.<br />
The popularity of <strong>Selwyn</strong> as a place to visit was also underlined,<br />
with the amount spent by tourists in <strong>Selwyn</strong> grew 10.7% over the<br />
year to June <strong>2022</strong> compared to the previous year, as domestic<br />
tourism continued its bounce back from the pandemic lockdowns.<br />
Get home safe – ride to survive<br />
Ride to survive is the message for <strong>Selwyn</strong> motorcyclists.<br />
With spring in the air and the promise of fine days to come<br />
motorcyclists around the country are gearing up to get back on the<br />
road and enjoy the better riding weather.<br />
In the past three years, three riders have died and 43 have been<br />
injured in crashes on <strong>Selwyn</strong> roads.<br />
The statistics show the main cause of motorcycle crashes in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> is from the riders’ own actions, mainly through poor<br />
handling techniques, poor observation, poor road positioning or<br />
alcohol. They also show these accidents most commonly happen in<br />
spring and summer, during the day, in dry conditions and on<br />
main roads.<br />
The message is clear, riders need to ride to survive, <strong>Selwyn</strong> Road<br />
Safety Advisor Mike Patterson says.<br />
“We want everyone to get home safe. When we look at the<br />
statistics the main cause of crashes is from riders’ own actions. So<br />
there’s an onus on riders to ride within your ability, take care and be<br />
vigilant. You need to leave yourself some space to react if<br />
things change.”<br />
There are simple tips riders can take to keep themselves safe, Mr<br />
Patterson says, such as slow down, keep a good road position to<br />
see and be seen and don’t presume you’ve been seen by other<br />
road users.<br />
Riders in <strong>Selwyn</strong> also have access to free, expert on-road coaching<br />
sessions through the Ride Forever programme, supported by<br />
the Council.<br />
Ride Forever is a national programme that offers multiple levels of<br />
on-road coaching available to suit all needs and experience levels.<br />
The coaches offer an eight hour interactive instruction session<br />
and if you book through any of the three Canterbury trainers, the<br />
Council will cover the cost.<br />

Pauline Pearce and Gerald Innes were recognised as long-serving volunteers for several Malvern<br />
groups and volunteering at the Hororata Highland Games and Glow Festival.<br />
Val McKenzie, Diane Woodward received their awards for several volunteer roles including<br />
serving as JPs and their involvement in a range of community groups and activities.<br />
Gwen Heffernan was acknowledged for her efforts as a volunteer and member of the Greendale<br />
Golf Club, and says she was very grateful to receive the award.<br />
“I feel it’s a great privilege, Greendale Golf Club has meant a lot to me, and I think all these clubs<br />
need volunteers to survive, so I just feel a part of the team. You just feel as though you are doing<br />
something for the community.”<br />

Debut victory for<br />
Mandalay Bay<br />
• By Joshua Smith<br />
A PLETHORA of talented<br />
young pacers have carried<br />
Brian O’Meara’s famous<br />
silks, and he may have<br />
unearthed another at<br />
Rangiora on Sunday.<br />
Mandalay Bay was making<br />
his debut in the Sefton<br />
Pace (2600m) and was<br />
handled patiently by driver<br />
Jim Curtin after making a<br />
quiet beginning.<br />
The three-year-old gelding<br />
tracked fellow debutant<br />
Michael Caine throughout<br />
and attained the coveted<br />
one-one position with a lap<br />
to go.<br />
With 550m to go driver<br />
Ben Hope pushed the go<br />
button on Michael Caine,<br />
who left his rivals flatfooted,<br />
however, Mandalay<br />
Bay was able to respond<br />
and quickly recaptured<br />
the back of Michael Caine<br />
before improving threewide<br />
and powering over<br />
the top of his adversary to<br />
win by three-quarters of a<br />
length.<br />
O’Meara was pleased<br />
with the Somebeachsomewhere<br />
gelding’s debut<br />
effort and believes he has a<br />
bright future as he continues<br />
to build into his frame.<br />
“He went well for such<br />
a big horse. He would be a<br />
good 16 hands, he is bigger<br />
than most horses out<br />
there,” O’Meara said.<br />
“I would think down the<br />
line he will get a lot better<br />
but I was pleased with<br />
what he achieved today.”<br />
O’Meara purchased<br />
Mandalay Bay out of<br />
Studholme Bloodstock’s<br />
2020 New Zealand<br />
Bloodstock Standardbred<br />
National Yearling Sale<br />
draft for $30,000, noting<br />
his pedigree had plenty of<br />
appeal.<br />
His dam, On The Town,<br />
won five races and ran<br />
third in the Listed Northern<br />
Mares Classic (2200m)<br />
for trainer Barry Purdon.<br />
Her siblings were equally<br />
as impressive, with her<br />
full-brothers including<br />
16-win gelding On The<br />
Razzle, Group Two performer<br />
On The Cards, and<br />
four-win gelding On The<br />
Rantan.<br />
“The mother was quite<br />
a handy mare and I think<br />
she and her brothers won<br />
about $900,000,” O’Meara<br />
said.<br />
“None of them raced at<br />
two and took a bit of time,<br />
and I don’t think any of<br />
them were as tall as him. I<br />
am hopeful he will get a bit<br />
better.”<br />
Mandalay Bay’s year<br />
older half-brother Anything<br />
Goes is also showing<br />
plenty of promise for trainer<br />
Steve Dolan, having won<br />
three and placed in two of<br />
his five starts to date.<br />

FRONT:<br />
Mandalay<br />
Bay<br />
nearing<br />
the<br />
winning<br />
post at<br />
Rangiora<br />
on<br />
Sunday.<br />
O’Meara is now planning<br />
to give his gelding a<br />
short break.<br />
“I might tip him out for a<br />
week or two and then reset<br />
him and probably race him<br />
a bit more next time in,”<br />
he said.<br />
Meanwhile, O’Meara<br />
is looking forward to the<br />
return of Di Caprio, who<br />
was badly checked by<br />
Folklore when first-up at<br />
Addington Raceway earlier<br />
this month.<br />
“He took quite a check<br />
in his first race. We were a<br />
bit worried about that but<br />
I think he still went pretty<br />
good from the whack he<br />
took,” O’Meara said.<br />
The Group 1 New<br />
Zealand Trotting Cup<br />
(3200m), a race he ran fifth<br />
in two years ago, remains<br />
the main aim of the spring.<br />
The Shadow Play entire<br />
was in good form last<br />
spring, placing in the<br />
Group 3 Maurice Holmes<br />
Vase (2600m) before<br />
winning the Group 3 New<br />
Brighton Cup (2600m),<br />
however, he was ruled out<br />
of the remainder of spring<br />
racing through foot issues.<br />
“If he comes up as good<br />
as he did last year he will<br />
head towards the cup,”<br />
O’Meara said.<br />
O’Meara said the sevenyear-old<br />
will likely next<br />
race in a fortnight.<br />

Veggie<br />
Garden Mix<br />
Our Veggie Garden<br />
Mix has been<br />
designed to provide<br />
your plants with the<br />
nutrients they need<br />
for healthy growth<br />
and development.<br />
Organic Compost<br />
Lawn Topdressing Mix<br />
A crowd favourite, our lawn mix is ideal for<br />
topdressing or overseeding lawns that need some<br />
love. Suitable to sow straight into, or to pop<br />
ready lawn on top of, this mix will create a great<br />
growing environment for the seed to germinate.<br />
Our Organic Compost is blended<br />
from sustainable, natural, and<br />
carefully selected products and is<br />
independently certified through<br />
BioGro. Dig compost through<br />
your soil to boost the nutrients<br />
and condition your area before<br />
planting. We have had fantastic<br />
reviews from customers who just<br />
love our compost, and it is one<br />
of our best sellers all-year-round!<br />
Birdie’s Garden Beds<br />
Birdie’s garden beds are made with high quality steel and are<br />
built to last. Designed and manufactured in Australia, they’re<br />
built to sustain the elements whilst still providing a great<br />
look to your outdoor space. These beds are easy to construct<br />
and are suitable for a wide range of plants from veggies to<br />
fruit, herbs or flowers. Available in 3 different sizes and<br />
colours, there is sure to be something that catches your eye.<br />
Growing Veggies<br />
Growing veggies is a great way to get<br />
the whole family involved in gardening.<br />
It is very rewarding eating meals that<br />
have veggies you have grown yourself.<br />
The other bonus of growing your own<br />
vegetables is that you can grow what<br />
you what, you know what they are<br />
growing in, and you have confidence in<br />
knowing they are free from nasty sprays.<br />
1. Pick a sunny position for your veggie garden<br />
with shelter from the wind<br />
2. If you’re using timber, untreated is best. If using<br />
treated timber line with black plastic.<br />
3. Having a good quality soil is key for growing<br />
a bumper crop. For leafy, above the ground<br />
produce, choose Intelligro Veggie Garden Mix.<br />
For root crops, (potatoes, radishes etc) choose<br />
Intelligro Garden Soil Mix. A soil blend is<br />
preferred by these plants.<br />
4. Make sure you plant quality, in-season<br />
seedlings.<br />
5. For a successful veggie garden make sure you<br />
establish a regular watering routine. Plants will<br />
bolt to seed if they are stressed due to a lack<br />
of water.<br />

Prepare to plant potatoes<br />
before the soil warms up<br />
Potatoes<br />
Such a staple and stalwart crop,<br />
you need to start gearing up for<br />
the upcoming potato-planting<br />
season.<br />
Those of you who know your<br />
spuds will already have seed<br />
potatoes quietly “chitting” away<br />
somewhere cool indoors. Once<br />
the sprouts are finger length and<br />
the soil has warmed a smidge,<br />
they can be planted out in<br />
September.<br />
The sprouting phase does take<br />
four to six weeks; hence you need<br />
to get a wriggle on if you want<br />
fresh new potatoes in December.<br />
While the seed spuds are<br />
sprouting, take an hour or two<br />
to prepare the soil, work it over<br />
with a fork, blend in well-rotted<br />
compost and, a week before<br />
planting, work through some<br />
potato fertiliser.<br />
Adding the spud food prior to<br />
planting prevents burning the<br />
delicately sprouted seed potatoes.<br />
Vegetables<br />
If your patch has been vacant<br />
over winter, now’s the time to get<br />
it ready for spring planting before<br />
the soil warms up.<br />
Hoe off weeds and, when the<br />
soil isn’t boggy, turn it over and<br />
blend in layers of compost or<br />
sheep pellets – one or the other,<br />
CARE: If you want new potatoes for Christmas dinner now<br />
is the time to get the prepared for planting.<br />
not both. Then, rake it level and<br />
leave to settle for a few weeks.<br />
Seedlings to plant out now<br />
include silver beet. Look for<br />
brightly coloured hybrids or<br />
the mega-sized ford hook giant’,<br />
which can grow stems up to 1m<br />
long. Rows of radishes can go<br />
in, too. Try white hailstone for<br />
something different, or stick to<br />
your knitting with reliable round<br />
red ones. Remember, both the<br />
leaves and roots can be eaten.<br />
Asparagus crowns are dormant<br />
and ready to be planted. Look for<br />
the biggest and fattest clumps,<br />
and avoid anything that are dry<br />
and withered.<br />
Spring flowers<br />
With the official start of spring<br />
just around the corner it is time<br />
to start dusting of those vases and<br />
filling them with spring flowers<br />
such as daffodils, snow drops,<br />
hyacinths, anemone, ranunculus<br />
and irises. When picking these<br />
flowers, only pick the flower<br />
stem.<br />
Leave the foliage in the ground<br />
and allow it to die down naturally,<br />
as this supplies the hard-working<br />
bulb all the nutrients it needs to<br />
produce flowers for next season.<br />
Fill the vase to the top with<br />
water and change it every third<br />
day.<br />
PANSIES ARE the perfect plant<br />
for just about any garden. They’re<br />
hardy and easy to grow.<br />
They’ll survive wind, rain<br />
and even frosts. And, just as<br />
importantly they’re stunning<br />
and striking – with a colour and<br />
pattern for just about any style of<br />
garden.<br />
To plant, choose a spot in the<br />
garden that receives morning sun<br />
and has good drainage.<br />
Next, boost soil fertility and<br />
encourage bright, healthy blooms<br />
by adding organic compost and<br />
fertiliser.<br />
Once that’s done, dig a wide,<br />
shallow hole for each plant and<br />
space the holes 10 to 20cm apart.<br />
Make sure the holes are wide<br />
enough so the plant’s roots don’t<br />
become cramped.<br />

planting spot, you can’t look past<br />
a hanging basket. In<br />
fact, I can’t think of a flower<br />
more perfectly designed for this.<br />
Just remember not to over<br />
water. If you’re not sure when to<br />
water, put your finger in the soil<br />
to test. If it’s still moist, don’t add<br />
any water.<br />
Once planted you don’t really<br />
need to pay any more attention<br />
to your pansies. Simply make<br />
sure the soil doesn’t get too dry<br />
and pick the flowers as they fade<br />
to encourage more blooms.<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
Youths in Action organise<br />
Motukarara Car Show<br />
These days, it’s not uncommon to hear negative<br />
things about youth’s actions. However, four Year<br />
12 Christchurch Boys High school students,<br />
Jak O’Connell, Sam Tilson, Robbie De Cuevas<br />
and Ben Harris, are proving that youth can<br />
make a positive difference, not only in our local<br />
community but also for all New Zealanders.<br />
They are actively supporting the “I AM HOPE”<br />
youth and community-focused support group<br />
run by The Key to Life Charitable Trust, started<br />
by Mike King. The students have organised the<br />
Motukarara Car Show on the 11th of September<br />
<strong>2022</strong>. This show will be the second undertaking<br />
to raise money and bring greater community<br />
awareness to support this vital cause.<br />
School project<br />
The Motukarara Car Show was developed from<br />
a school business project. The students decided<br />
to use a similar example from a few years ago.<br />
Most of the group have a keen interest in cars<br />
but no experience running any events. However,<br />
Ben says they wanted to improve on the concept<br />
saying, “we could try that and hopefully do it<br />
better”.<br />
This project’s cause was very personal to one<br />
of the students whose uncle, in his 40s, passed<br />
away from suicide. Through the process, the<br />
family received help from I AM HOPE. Stating,<br />
“Mental health is a big problem in New Zealand<br />
currently”, the students decided to raise money<br />
to support the cause and bring awareness to the<br />
community and how different organisations are<br />
available to help.<br />
Ups and downs<br />
The organisers have had ups and downs while<br />
learning to run the business, working as a group<br />
and collaborating. One area they also struggled<br />
with initially was convincing food vendors to<br />
join the event without any indication of expected<br />
numbers. However, since the excellent turnout<br />
from their first event, they now have help from<br />
numerous people and clubs and the community’s<br />
support. Lexie’s Coffee (EFTPOS available), Pita<br />
Pit, cold drinks, bacon butties and sausages will<br />
be available this year.<br />
Expecting 30 people for their first show on the<br />
26th of June, they were surprised when around<br />
200 cars showed up, with $3000 raised! As there’s<br />
been a shortage of car shows due to Covid-19<br />
and plenty of interest on Facebook, they expect<br />
1800 people for the upcoming show. This family<br />
fun day welcomes all types of vehicles and people<br />
interested in cars.<br />
Support Jak, Sam, Robbie and Ben, who<br />
want to make a difference by raising funds<br />
and highlighting the worthwhile I AM HOPE<br />
by going to the Motukarara Car Show at<br />
Motukarara Raceway, entry off Park Rd, from<br />
10am - 2pm. Entry is cash only - $10 for a car<br />
and driver or $20 for driver and passengers.<br />

Be prepared for spring driving<br />
With a reputation for fantastic service that is second<br />
to none, the owners of Jones Road Auto, Lisa and Nigel,<br />
along with the whole team, will get you motoring<br />
safely and prepared for spring driving. They offer full<br />
mechanical repairs and servicing on all vehicle makes<br />
and models with the latest in diagnostic equipment as<br />
well as a stock of tyres, batteries and a range of parts to<br />
meet all your motoring needs. Customers can also enjoy<br />
a coffee and Wi-Fi in the inviting waiting room, and free<br />
courtesy cars are also available.<br />
Our weather is often unpredictable, and this year<br />
has been no exception. Spring is when you can drive<br />
through the severe Nor’wester winds, unexpected<br />
snowfall, or flooding. As a result, your car needs to<br />
be driving at its best. With a staff numbering 19,<br />
Jones Road Auto is committed to providing excellent<br />
customer service and top-quality work to ensure your<br />
car is well-maintained and running as efficiently and<br />
economically as possible.<br />
Spring safety checklist<br />
Check and replace wiper blades if damaged or<br />
ineffective, and check suspension and wheel alignment.<br />
With low light levels in spring, brake lights and<br />
headlights must also function correctly, so ensure<br />
bulbs are clear and bright. Tyres are essential for safe<br />
driving, so check that all tyres (including your spare)<br />
have sufficient tread and are correctly inflated for<br />
your vehicle. Also, check your battery as it has had to<br />
work harder during harsh winter conditions. Keep the<br />
battery connections clean, tight and corrosion-free;<br />
if you experience starting issues, it may be time for a<br />
replacement. Jones Road Auto is on hand to provide<br />
repairs, parts and servicing.<br />
Jones Road Auto considers the customer their number<br />
one priority, and this has been proven with nearly<br />
10,000 happy customers! Jones Road Auto is your<br />
trusted local automotive workshop as a one-stop shop<br />
for vehicle repairs and servicing.<br />

Off-road champion and city slicker<br />
I FIND IT HARD to believe there<br />
has been a model nameplate that<br />
has been around for longer than<br />
I have.<br />
Well, it’s not older by much,<br />
but Toyota’s Land Cruiser has just<br />
reached 70 years in production<br />
and to celebrate a new model has<br />
just landed.<br />
While its basic concept hasn’t<br />
changed, the Land Cruiser 300<br />
is very fresh, it gets a brand new<br />
engine and, what’s more, there is<br />
a GR option that adds ingredients<br />
through Toyota’s performance<br />
arm – Gazoo Racing.<br />
The Land Cruiser 300 has a<br />
platform that has served the test<br />
of time in terms of how it has<br />
been engineered for purpose, its<br />
reputation as one of the industry’s<br />
best off-road drivelines is still<br />
well intact. The ladder chassis,<br />
the four-wheel-drive mechanicals<br />
and a big engine all combine<br />
to provide a vehicle that is an<br />
off-road champion and a station<br />
wagon/sport utility vehicle with<br />
few competitors.<br />
The Land Cruiser 300 (no<br />
longer 200) in Gazoo Racing<br />
form gets plenty of adornments,<br />
the interior is coloured with rich<br />
red leather highlights, sporty<br />
GR badging and logos splashed<br />
throughout the model.<br />
Under the bonnet things<br />
have changed dramatically, no<br />
longer does that wonderful V8<br />
turbo-diesel lurk there, Toyota<br />
has lopped off two cylinders, the<br />
new model now has a diesel-fed<br />
twin-turbocharged V6. If you are<br />
thinking that’s a backward step,<br />
think again, the new engine is<br />
more powerful (up 27kW and<br />
50Nm), it is a lot lighter and,<br />
according to Toyota, at 10.2-litres<br />
per 100km/h, it has an improved<br />
combined cycle fuel usage average<br />
over its predecessor.<br />
For the record, during my time<br />
with the evaluation car the fuel<br />
usage readout was sitting around<br />
12l/100km with 9.8l/100km available<br />
instantaneously at 100km/h,<br />
the engine loping over gently at<br />
just 1400rpm.<br />
In terms of power, the new V6<br />
is rated at 227kW and a massive<br />
700Nm of torque, both outputs<br />
available low in the rev band at<br />
4000rpm and 1600rpm respectively,<br />
and that is the type of<br />
power delivery you want when it<br />
comes to off-road travel, a gentle<br />
harnessing of power and delivered<br />
smoothly through a series of<br />
complex drive modes.<br />
Another big change for Land<br />
Cruiser 300 is the fitment of a<br />
10-speed automatic transmission,<br />
it is delightful with undetectable<br />
shifts and ratios that cater for all<br />
environments. I would have liked<br />
to see paddle shifters but even<br />
though they aren’t fitted, manual<br />
changes can be made from the<br />
main gearshift lever itself.<br />
The Land Cruiser 300 has an<br />
uncanny willingness beneath<br />
the throttle and it does so with<br />
GRIP: Off-road tracks are not trouble to the Land Cruiser.<br />
TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 300 GR SPORT: Gazoo Racing has had an influence on trim details.<br />
a characteristic V6 growl that is<br />
delightful to listen to. Where the<br />
Gazoo Racing aspect comes in<br />
is through a choice of multiple<br />
sport driving modes, they are<br />
largely functioned through electronics<br />
hastening engine urgency,<br />
ideal for the long haul over the<br />
Akaroa hill or other demanding<br />
situations. For interest’s sake<br />
the new engine has the ability to<br />
take 2630kg from a standstill to<br />
100km/h in under 7sec, which I<br />
think is pretty impressive.<br />
The Land Cruiser has ride quality<br />
to envy, it merely floats over<br />
bumps and lumps, yet has the<br />
rugged essentials so that off-road<br />
travel can be completed capably.<br />
That is the secret of Land Cruiser,<br />
it is soft and sultry to drive in<br />
the everyday environment, yet<br />
it is technically superior when it<br />
comes to travel off-road.<br />
I took the evaluation car on<br />
some easy tracks that lead parallel<br />
to one of our main rivers, it was<br />
perfect for the role with huge grip<br />
and drive programs which can be<br />
dialled in depending on the surface<br />
likely to be encountered. The<br />
main switch is for low and high<br />
range, but there are also a host<br />
of other mechanisms that can be<br />
initiated in advance of the terrain<br />
ahead. The driver can dial up the<br />
appropriate setting through those<br />
choices.<br />
The Land Cruiser is complex,<br />
there’s no denying that, but the<br />

• Performance –<br />

• Fuel usage – 10.2/100km<br />
result is extraordinary off-road<br />
prowess, it is so capable the driver<br />
can glean confidence from the<br />
vehicle, and yet at the same time<br />
each occupant is cocooned in a<br />
lap of luxury.<br />
If the GR treatment isn’t to<br />
your liking and its price tag of<br />
$147,900 is a little overwhelming,<br />
then there are VX and VX<br />
Limited variants of the new 300<br />
series, they list at $127,990 and<br />
$141,990 respectively. If you are<br />
serious about off-road travel and<br />
want all of the best mechanisms<br />
in place, then the GR with its kinetic<br />
dynamic suspension system<br />
will give you the best ride quality<br />
and performance off-road.<br />
Even though the Land Cruiser<br />
has been given a massive refresh,<br />
it is still the quintessential family<br />
wagon with vast interior space<br />
and associated comfort.<br />
I picked up a friend from the<br />
central city and took him to the<br />
airport. He travels light so there<br />
was no problem with cargo space<br />
but even though it is a big vehicle<br />
I felt comfortable tackling a Hereford<br />
St car park. At almost 5m in<br />
length it was a bit of a mission but<br />
with good vision all round and<br />
clever parking assistance devices<br />
the job was completed without<br />
concern.<br />
Convenience features are too<br />
numerous to mention, but there<br />
are the usual high profile items<br />
that add to the luxury feel within<br />
the vehicle. It’s also important to<br />
mention that the Land Cruiser is<br />
rated with a 3500kg tow figure,<br />
that’s massive and way in advance<br />
of the weight that I loaded onto<br />
the tow bar when I took advantage<br />
of the free Mitre 10 trailer<br />
hire after purchasing several<br />
lengths of Marley guttering for<br />
the garage spouting project I’m<br />
working on.<br />
The Land Cruiser 300 serves<br />
in the everyday role. I’m not 100<br />
per cent convinced with the GR<br />
badging, Gazoo Racing has done<br />
an important role in building a<br />
sporting image in the Toyota lineup,<br />
the Land Cruiser is no sports<br />
car, it is designed for a completely<br />
different role.<br />
But I will say I do like the<br />
interior GR treatment; it wouldn’t<br />
be fair to say the Land Cruiser<br />
300 is ageing gracefully, it is<br />
looking extremely youthful.<br />

<strong>2022</strong> OTIRA - TAIPO POSSUM CONTROL OPERATION UPDATE<br />
Vector Free Marlborough Limited (VFML) wishes to further advise the public of its intention<br />
to aerially apply the toxin Sodium fluoroacetate (1080) to parts of the Westland, South<br />
Westland Alps and Westcoast Divide TMA’s for the purpose of controlling possums. The<br />
Otira – Taipo operation is being carried out on behalf of OSPRI as part of its TBfree New<br />
Zealand programme, which aims to eradicate bovine tuberculosis from wildlife vectors that<br />
pose a risk to farmed cattle herds in downstream areas.<br />
Persistent heavy snow and unfavourable weather over recent weeks have delayed the<br />
planned commencement of this operation. However, these prohibitive conditions are<br />
beginning to recede and VFML is again assessing favourable weather opportunities in order<br />
to commence the operation.<br />
Description of Area<br />
The Otira – Taipo permission area takes in approximately 30,930 hectares of the Otira<br />
and Taipo catchments. The boundary of the permission area extends from the SH73<br />
bridge over Big Wainihinihi River to Aickens corner near the confluence of the Otira and<br />
Taramakau rivers, then follows Aicken Ridge upstream toward Goat Pass at the head of<br />
the Deception Valley. From Goat Pass it extends west along the snowline of the Southern<br />
Alps, crosses SH73 at the summit of Arthur’s Pass and continues west into the headwaters<br />
of the Taipo catchment. From the Taipo catchment it follows the Campbell Range in a<br />
northerly direction, thence along Razorback Ridge to Big Wainihinhi River. Most land in the<br />
permission area is administered by the Department of Conservation but several small tracts<br />
of land held by various private and institutional owners are also included. State Highway 73<br />
(Otira Highway) and the settlement of Otira Village are both excluded from the operation. A<br />
detailed map may be obtained from VFML as per contact details below.<br />
Commencement Date<br />
Subject to favourable weather, control is now planned to commence from Friday 26 <strong>August</strong><br />
<strong>2022</strong>, with the aerial application of non-toxic cereal pre-feed pellets. This will be followed<br />
approximately 7-10 days later by the aerial application of bait containing biodegradable<br />
sodium fluoroacetate (1080). All work is weather dependent, and commencement may<br />
be later than indicated. In the event of an extended delay, further notices will be placed to<br />
advise the public.<br />
Bait Description<br />
• Pre-feed - Non-toxic cereal-based pellet, approximately 16mm long and cinnamonlured.<br />
Prefeed for this operation will be dyed green as part of a suite of measures to<br />
minimise risk to kea.<br />
• Toxic bait - Cereal-based pellet, approximately 20mm long, cinnamon- lured and dyed<br />
green with a toxic loading of 0.15% Sodium fluoroacetate (1080).<br />
Note, hand-laid 1080 may be used for supplemental ground-based control in areas unsuited<br />
for aerial application.<br />
Precautions<br />
The public are reminded of the danger that toxic baits and possum carcasses pose,<br />
particularly to children and dogs.<br />
• DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT BAITS<br />
• Children must be kept under strict supervision in the control area<br />
• Dogs must be kept under strict control at all times and not have access to, or be taken<br />
into, the control area, as they are particularly susceptible to harm from contact with<br />
toxic baits and poisoned carcasses. The risk that poisoned carcasses pose to dogs<br />
may extend downstream of the control area.<br />
• Toxin warning signs will be installed at main public entry points and the public are<br />
reminded that it is an offence to remove this warning signage. Please follow the<br />
instructions on the signs.<br />
• Game animals should not be sold or taken for eating from within or adjacent to this<br />
area until it is declared clear of pesticides.<br />
If you suspect poisoning<br />
Contact your local hospital, or dial 111<br />
National Poisons Centre 0800 POISON - 0800 764 766<br />
In the case of a domestic animal being poisoned, contact a local veterinarian<br />

Selling your property?<br />
First impressions count,<br />
get rid of the clutter.<br />
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter is one of the keys to selling property<br />
fast and at a good price. Good storage systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter.<br />
Good storage ideas are abundant and<br />
all manner of products are available<br />
to make homes more minimalistic.<br />
While it’s nice to buy your storage from<br />
designer homewares stores, the likes of<br />
The Warehouse and Kmart sell many<br />
simple products for masking clutter.<br />
Fabric storage cubes are a great start<br />
for disguising the clutter. They fit neatly<br />
into shelves and wardrobes and thanks<br />
to competition from the big department<br />
stores, can cost $10 or less each. You’ll<br />
also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven and<br />
metal baskets for a song.<br />
Another clever idea,<br />
is to buy a cheap set of<br />
melamine shelves for use<br />
in your wardrobe. A set<br />
of shelves does much the<br />
same job as an expensive<br />
wardrobe fit out. You can<br />
move the shelf heights to<br />
accommodate shoes and<br />
boots. It looks good, but<br />
costs little.<br />
Another wardrobe<br />
organisation is a Wardrobe<br />
Starter Kit from Hardware<br />
stores. While you’re there,<br />
check out bicycle storage hooks as well.<br />
As well as being practical, storage<br />
products can make a design statement.<br />
The important thing is to be consistent.<br />
don’t, for example, buy storage cubes<br />
in different colours. If you’re looking<br />
for really clever home storage ideas take<br />
a tip from the tiny home movement.<br />
Catherine Foster who wrote Small House<br />
Living, downsized her life to under 90sq<br />
m and has interviewed Kiwis who live<br />
in architecturally designed homes of that<br />
size or smaller.<br />
Each and every house in<br />
Foster’s book uses storage<br />
effectively to tame their<br />
belongings. Some have done<br />
it on the smell of an oily rag,<br />
sometimes buying pre-cut heavy<br />
duty plywood that only has to be<br />
screwed together, she says.<br />
Garages and lofts are house vendors’<br />
friends. The garage is one of the few<br />
places in the house that buyers won’t<br />
be put off by a little extra stuff, but the<br />
more that can be hidden away in stacked<br />
crates the better. Consider using flat pack<br />
cupboards that can be taken with you.<br />
“The most effective way of using these<br />
is to find a wall where the whole area can<br />
be covered floor to ceiling,”<br />
“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level<br />
if you’re handy, or get a handyman in for<br />
a few hours, but make sure it is excluded<br />
from the list of chattels on the sale<br />
agreement.”<br />
Loft spaces are often wasted space<br />
in Kiwi homes. A relatively cheap way<br />
to open up the space is to install a loft<br />
ladder. You will be amazed at what people<br />
use the additional storage space for, once<br />
they’ve installed it.<br />
Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just<br />
limited to the interior of the house,<br />
garage and loft. The Warehouse, Mitre<br />
10 & other hardware stores sell garden<br />
storage to hide away things usually left<br />
outside.<br />
Foldable garden storage boxes that cost<br />
from around $99 can be used to store<br />
garden tools, outdoor cushions and pool<br />
paraphernalia. The next step up is a cheap<br />
garden shed for around $200 upwards<br />
from Mitre 10, Bunnings Warehouse and<br />
other stores.<br />
Finally, if you’re looking for more<br />
inspiration Google “storage ideas”, search<br />
the same on Pinterest, or check out books<br />
on the subject from your local library.<br />
You’ll be amazed at how many everyday<br />
items can be repurposed for storage at the<br />
same time as adding design excellence to<br />
your home.<br />

Disclosure rules<br />
when selling a home<br />
Real estate advertisements are designed<br />
to make every property look like a dream<br />
buy. That’s why they gloss over the negative<br />
aspects and linger on the good points,<br />
wanting you to be drawn in by the sundrenched<br />
location rather than be put off by<br />
lack of garaging. It’s no crime to gloss over<br />
a property’s quirks, but lying by omission<br />
or design about more serious matters is<br />
not allowed. If you do this when selling<br />
your property you may be at risk of being<br />
sued by the purchaser.<br />
When you’re ready to sell your property<br />
it’s a good idea to get legal advice about<br />
your obligations before you sign an agency<br />
agreement. Most of these agreements,<br />
which set out the terms and conditions<br />
of your contract with the real estate<br />
agent, require you to confirm that you are<br />
unaware of any undisclosed defects in the<br />
property and that you haven’t withheld any<br />
information about it.<br />
As a seller, you must also confirm<br />
that your property has all the necessary<br />
consents and code compliance certificates<br />
for any building work. Any outstanding<br />
consents, including ones that involve any<br />
works at a neighbour’s property, should be<br />
disclosed to the agent.<br />
This is important for several reasons.<br />
Licensed real estate agents have clear<br />
obligations when it comes to disclosure.<br />
They must not mislead a seller or<br />
a potential buyer, or withhold any<br />
information. While it’s not up to the<br />
agent to uncover any hidden defects in a<br />
property, they must tell any prospective<br />
buyers what they know.<br />
Under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008,<br />
if licensed real estate agents suspect that a<br />
property may have a defect then they are<br />
obliged to ask the seller about it, or advise<br />
potential buyers of any risks. For example,<br />
if a property is next door to a proposed<br />
new development, or if it’s in an area that’s<br />
been subject to flooding, the agent must<br />
tell prospective buyers rather than turning<br />
a blind eye.<br />
If your property may be prone to<br />
weathertightness issues thanks to its<br />
age or cladding, then the agent may<br />
have to disclose this potential risk to<br />
prospective buyers. If it doesn’t have any<br />
weathertightness problems it may be<br />
worth getting this confirmed in an expert<br />
report by a qualified building inspector<br />
who has professional indemnity insurance,<br />
understands the strict legal requirements<br />
of their role and carries out their work<br />
in accordance with the New Zealand<br />
Property Inspection Standard. This will<br />
help make the sale process as efficient as<br />
possible.<br />
If you know there are issues with the<br />
property, whether it’s something small like<br />
a garage door not working properly, or a<br />
bigger deal like an unconsented deck, it’s<br />
best to discuss them with the agent you are<br />
working with. They can help you decide<br />
how to manage the problem, whether that<br />
means fixing it, or disclosing it to potential<br />
buyers. However, a licensed real estate<br />
agent must not disclose any problems with<br />
your property to buyers without getting<br />
your consent first. If a seller doesn’t agree<br />
on a disclosure, the agent is required to<br />
stop working for them rather than disclose<br />
any defects without consent.<br />
These rules offer more protection to<br />
buyers than the traditional attitude of<br />
‘caveat emptor’ (buyer beware), which<br />
assumed that the seller would always<br />
know more than the buyer and any sale<br />
was at the buyer’s risk. However, buyers<br />
should always do their own research<br />
about a property before signing a sale<br />
and purchase agreement. Buyers should<br />
also ask the agent about anything they are<br />
concerned about, no matter how trivial it<br />
may seem. It’s far better to get an answer<br />
upfront than find out when it’s too late.<br />

Your house is on the market and you<br />
hope to get a good price. While market<br />
performance will largely influence this,<br />
presenting your home at its best will help.<br />
First impressions count from the<br />
moment potential buyers view a property<br />
from the street to the moment they walk<br />

Weed the garden, cut back unruly<br />
shrubs and prune trees where needed. Kill<br />
off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass seed<br />
over bald patches and fertilise the lawn.<br />
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess or<br />
bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby items<br />
or fitness equipment and if too many<br />
photos on the wall pack these away so the<br />
home looks roomy.<br />
If there is a gap or a room needs<br />
enhancing, look at what you have. A piece<br />
of furniture might be painted up or an<br />
old leather bound book popped on the<br />
coffee table. Shelves will also add depth<br />
to a narrow space while mirrors may give<br />
the illusion of a larger space. In entryways,<br />
add an easy chair, small table, bookcase or<br />
large vase.<br />
Awkward spaces such as coved ceilings<br />
in attics or upstairs rooms might be<br />
converted into storage shelving and<br />
the room given a purpose as an office,<br />
playroom or extra bedroom so viewers can<br />
see how the room might be used.<br />
Stow possessions neatly in containers,<br />
shelving or tidily in cupboards;<br />
highlighting the storage potential within<br />
the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy for<br />
viewing at any time.<br />
Move the pets outside as not all buyers<br />
will be pet lovers while some may suffer<br />
pet allergies putting them off a house if<br />
they see a pet inside.<br />
If parts of the house look tired, consider<br />
renovating by painting walls, replacing<br />
worn carpet, or modernising the kitchen,<br />
bathroom and toilet; rooms that should<br />
sparkle. Replace tired cabinetry, or the<br />
benches and cupboard/drawer fronts then<br />
update old toilets, showers or kitchen<br />
appliances. Modernising these rooms can<br />
lift the final selling price.<br />
Use consistent and light paint colours<br />
throughout for balance and seamlessness,<br />
making the house appear more spacious.<br />
An effect that is increased when walls and<br />
curtains share the same or a similar colour.<br />
Consider the personality and purpose<br />
of a room. Bright colours lift living areas<br />
especially if large and open. However,<br />
bedrooms are suited to calmer softer<br />
colours with just a touch of bold. Layer<br />
bedding or use throws for effect along with<br />
cushions or a stuffed toy in a children’s<br />
room.<br />
With curtaining, smaller patterns or<br />
plain fabrics are the rule for smaller rooms<br />
whereas larger patterns make spacious<br />
areas cosier. If blinds or drapes are past<br />
their best, replace these even if it is only<br />
with neutral cotton curtains. The effect<br />
will be worth it.<br />
Eco-friendly features will also add value<br />
for some buyers though not universally,<br />
however earthy natural colours and<br />
features are popular. Consider who your<br />
target buyers are likely to be and what will<br />
appeal to them.<br />

SPRING<br />
TRANSITION…<br />
Warmer and above our normal rainfall...<br />
Four Seasons Realty<br />
Rural | Lifestyle<br />
Your Country Partner<br />
Incredibly we’ve survived one of the wettest<br />
winters on record, especially the month of<br />
July and the recent rainfalls have set us up<br />
for a promising start to spring with good<br />
growth expected, Niwa has forecast higher<br />
than normal temps with above or normal<br />
rainfall here in Canterbury. So, whilst<br />
the outlook maybe promising, prudent<br />
planning and feed management may still<br />
be required as we know the impact the<br />
climate can have on our rural communities,<br />
particularly our farming families.<br />
The North Canterbury Rural Support Trust<br />
has again been confirmed as the preferred<br />
charity for the upcoming North Canterbury<br />
Wine Region Charity Golf Day to be held at<br />
Pegasus Golf Club late November, Harcourts<br />
Four Seasons is proud to be the major<br />
sponsor of this event for the second year.<br />
The North Canterbury Rural Support Trust<br />
is set up to assist rural individuals and their<br />
families to get back on their feet.<br />
The Trust is linked into local rural networks<br />
and can help people facing challenging<br />
circumstances, such as financial, personal,<br />
or climatic adverse events like drought,<br />
flood, or heavy snow. The North Canterbury<br />
Rural Support Trust is a charitable trust<br />
that encompasses Hurunui, Waimakariri,<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, Christchurch including Banks<br />
Peninsula, and Kaikoura District Council.<br />
James Twiss, a director of Harcourts Four<br />
Seasons said “it’s wonderful we can again<br />
support this event, showcasing the North<br />
Canterbury Wine Region and the fantastic<br />
wines from our region, and the fact that<br />
the Rural Support Trust will also benefit<br />
provides great satisfaction. We recognise<br />
the vital work undertaken by the trust,<br />
hopefully this event can help with the<br />
awareness within our rural community that<br />
it’s ok to ask for help.”<br />
During the past year we have learnt a great<br />
deal and evolved our operations to meet the<br />
changing circumstances of doing business<br />
during the pandemic. We expect that many<br />
of these changes and learnings will continue<br />
to be a part of how we do business in the<br />
long term, especially where we’ve improved<br />
the outcomes for our buyers and vendors.<br />
The lifestyle property market in and around<br />
Christchurch City remains extremely<br />
strong, bucking the national real estate<br />
trend of recent price reductions. Lifestyle<br />
properties here in rural Canterbury that<br />
come to the market are still attracting great<br />
interest. When compared to city prices<br />
living in a Canterbury rural community<br />
still provides incredible value. There’s no<br />
better time to sell than Spring with the<br />
vigorous growth highlighting some breathtaking<br />
rural properties. Our agents get you<br />
more because we are the largest real estate<br />
network in Canterbury, our team provides<br />
greater exposure for your rural lifestyle<br />
property. Talk to one of our team of Rural<br />
Lifestyle Specialists, “Your Country Partner”<br />

wardrobes with both shelving and<br />
