CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Youth crime increases
• By Susan Sandys
TWO TEENAGERS have been
caught on camera tagging
a wall at Rolleston in broad
daylight – as concern grows
about increasing youth crime in
the district.
A Rolleston Community
Group member on Facebook
uploaded a photo of the offenders
near Rolleston Reserve, who
police said were 14.
Offenders aged 14 had also
been responsible for the theft of
a vehicle and other vehicles being
broken into in the Prebbleton
area at the weekend.
It follows the aggravated robbery
of the Prebbleton Dairy last
week, where the offenders were
aged between 10 and 14. Police
have also identified them.
Police apprehended five
joyriding youths who allegedly
dumped a stolen car and stole
another one in Prebbleton two
days prior. One of them is also
believed to be responsible for
leaving obscene graffiti on a
family home on the street.
Police say there has been an
escalation in the district in
the level of offending and
violence perpetrated by ever

Community Group on Facebook on Sunday last week.

younger offenders.
“Social media platforms are
being used to sensationalise
and glorify ram-raids, serious
assaults and other criminal and
anti-social behaviour amongst
our young people. Selwyn is
not exempt from this,” said
the district’s police crime
prevention manager Senior
Sergeant Anna Lloyd.

10-year-old
involved
in dairy
robbery
• By Barry Clarke
DAIRY OWNER Sangeet Mehta
is at his wits end after another
raid on his business – the latest
involving a boy aged 10.
Four young people, one armed
with a spanner, burst into the
shop in Springs Rd, Prebbleton,
just after 7pm on Monday last
week. Police say they were aged
between 10 and 14.
His wife Falguni, who was alone
in the shop, managed to foil being
hit with the spanner when she
pushed a Covid screen in front of
her.
It was the fourth time the
dairy has either been ram-raided,
robbed or broken into in recent
months.
Mehta was visiting a patient at
Christchurch Hospital when the
robbery happened.
His distraught wife, who was
also concerned about their toddler
at the back of the dairy where they
live, phoned him to let him know
she had been robbed.
“They were in a silver Toyota
Aqua. They parked outside for a
minute or so, then they drove off
and slowly drove past (to see if the
shop had other customers), then
they came inside,” he said.

SANGEET Mehta has every
reason to be an angry man
(page 1).
He was away from his
dairy in Prebbleton when a
group of youngsters – one
aged 10 – raced in and
robbed it, threatening his
wife with a spanner, who
was alone with their toddler.
Youth crime is spiralling
and while the volume is
nothing like in other parts
of New Zealand, the trend is
concerning.
Sangeet wants the system
to be tougher on young offenders.
Whether that is the
right solution is debatable.

Support for fight against subdivision
• By Susan Sandys
RESIDENTS fighting the
proposed Lincoln South
subdivision are bolstering their
ranks with legal heavyweight,
the Environmental Defence
Society.
The national non-profit society
will be a party to Environment
Court proceedings, supporting
the residents’ group Lincoln
Voice in its appeal against the
district council’s decision to
adopt Plan Change 69.
Lincoln Voice
was established
this year following
the district
council adopting
the PC69 Carter
Denise
Carrick
Group rezoning
application, paving
the way for
the 1710-section
Lincoln South subdivision on
rural land.
Lincoln Voice spokesperson
Denise Carrick said members
of the residents’ group felt it was
a “massive” coup to have the
society agreeing to back their
argument in the court.
“They will be able to take it
a lot further for us, which is
amazing, we are only a tiny community
group,” Carrick said.
Lincoln Voice was continuing
to fundraise through Givealittle,
still having to pay for its own
lawyers and experts. The campaign
has a $150,000 goal and
had reached close to $15,000 by
late last week.
Carrick understood the
Environmental Defence Society
only took on cases of national
importance. The proposed
Lincoln South development was
reflective of towns nationwide
being able to expand into rural
areas due to the new National
Policy Statement – Urban Development.
It was also reflective
of agricultural soils nationwide
lacking protection due to a Government
delay in introducing
the additional new legislation of
the National Policy Statement -
Highly Productive Land.
“There’s a mismatch (between
the two pieces of legislation). I
believe no-one has ever really
challenged it. This will be kind of
groundbreaking,” Carrick said.
The Environmental Defence
Society is a litigation advocacy
group set up to fight for the
environment, with expertise in
law, planning, landscape and
science.
The society has been
advocating for the New Zealand
environment and its finite
resources via policy work and
strategic litigation for more
than 50 years. Its biggest victory
was winning a Supreme Court
battle in 2014 against New
Zealand King Salmon Company,
considered a landmark case
BATTLE: The
Environmental
Defence Society
has joined
forces with
Lincoln Voice in
opposition to
the proposed
Lincoln South
development.
in reaffirming environmental
management parameters of
coastal landscapes.
The society confirmed it would
be a party to the Environment
Court case of Lincoln Voice versus
Selwyn District Council.
The case is expected to go to
mediation, then onto a hearing if
mediation fails.
A ruling is some time away as
a judicial conference planned
for August was postponed to a
future undetermined date.

Gifts Galore
at Yellow Zebra
Catering from newborns to tweens,
Yellow Zebra is an exciting new
kids gift shop recently opened in
Lincoln with gifts galore on offer.
The owners, Kelly and David
Bennett, held their grand opening
on Saturday, 3rd September, with
specials, giveaways and face-painting
at their store located at 3 Vernon
Drive, Lincoln.
Kelly previously spent five years
managing a kid’s gift shop and
understands what gifts people are
looking for. She also has strong
relationships with suppliers to
ensure Yellow Zebra has the right fit
of products.
Kelly says they want to make
shopping easy and advises, “If you
are unsure what to buy, I have great
knowledge to make suggestions for
different ages and budgets.” David
and Kelly realised there was a gap
in the Selwyn market for this type
of store stocking quality long lasting
gifts “like they used to be when we
were kids”.
With this knowledge in mind, the
store stocks products that are more
than just toys and focuses on quality
and durability. Kelly confirms,
“Knowing they are going to last is
important to us.” Many items are
educational, including STEM toys
or like the Keel soft toys, and Green
Toys are environmentally friendly
and are made from recycled plastic
bottles. The selection of games will
be increasing to suit older ages.
Kelly and David believe in
supporting locally made products;
they also stock favourites, including
John Deere, Buzzy Bee, National
Geographic, B. Box and Little
Renegade. Gifts range from $2.00
for kids spending pocket money to
special occasion gifts.
The store’s bright yellow and black
zebra signage is colourful and
eye-catching, drawing in shoppers
and children alike. The shop was
purposefully set up with a pramfriendly
layout to ensure moving
around the shop is easy and stressfree,
where you don’t need to worry
about knocking things over.
Yellow Zebra also offers free giftwrapping
on all purchases, and
as Kelly says, “It takes away the
hassle and stress, especially when
you are running late for a birthday
party.” Ordering gifts online via
Yellow Zebra is easy with various
gift selection options available with
delivery New Zealand-wide and the
offer of hand-written messages in
cards.
Take the hassle out of buying
children’s gifts with a wide range of
products at Yellow Zebra you won’t
find in other Selwyn gift stores.
With expert knowledge, you will
receive fantastic advice and service,
knowing your gift will bring a big
smile to a young person’s face.
Visit Yellow Zebra at
3 Vernon Drive, Lincoln
Mon to Fri 9am–5pm, Sat 9am–
3pm, and Sun 10.30am–3pm or

• From page 1
Lloyd appealed to residents to
report any offending, as police
relied heavily on the community.
“Police youth aid officers try
and steer young people back
into better choices by working
alongside their family, but we
can only address what we know
about. If you see something, or
something strikes you as being
out of the ordinary, contact
police on 111 if urgent and
happening now, or 105 if nonurgent,”
she said.
Parents also needed to do
their best to know who their
children were associating with.
“We see good children get
dragged into anti-social behaviour
very quickly when they
begin hanging around in little
gangs and getting into mischief.
The hours of 3-6pm are particularly
important, that is the
time when young people will
congregate together without supervision
and we see increased
reporting of assaults, etcetera,”
Lloyd said.
Many of the offenders came
in from outside the district. The
Prebbleton Dairy robbers were
believed to be a mix of local and
Christchurch youth – one from
as far away as New Brighton
Police had also noticed an increase
in the number of 11- and
12-year-old children vaping,
and an increasing number of
children being stood down from
schools because of this.
Selwyn Community Patrol
spokesman Errol Wood said the
patrol was doing all it could to
boost numbers as youth crime
increased training up as many
new recruits as possible. There
had been an influx of people
wanting to join.
In addition, a Rolleston community
patrol group, which is
relatively new, would merge
with Selwyn Community Patrol,
which is a member of Community
Patrols of New Zealand.
Wood said this would give the
Selwyn group even more members.

had raised would go towards a
second patrol vehicle, based at
Rolleston. The current patrol
vehicle is based at Lincoln.
Selwyn Community Patrol
had about 50 members now,
and he expected by the end of
next year, this would be about
70. Adding each member took
several months, as they had to
be police vetted and undertake
on-the-ground training with
current members.
Wood said there were three
patrol shifts – daytime, evening
to 11pm, and 11pm to 3am
– however, only one shift was
undertaken each day. He expected
the anticipated growth in
numbers could enable two shifts
per day.

Selwyn patrol covered a large
area of the district, but having
higher volunteer numbers
would help it do a better job
of keeping police informed of
criminal activity in the area.
“It gives us a chance of spotting
the bad guys. It’s a big area,
we are only in one place at a
time. It improves our chances of
spotting incidents that need to
be recorded,” Wood said.
The patrol had had success
recently, assisting police following
the ram-raid of the Lincoln
Dairy last month. Wood said
patrol members alerted police to
the presence of a suspicious car
believed connected to the crime,
at Tai Tapu.
Mayor Sam Broughton said he
would this week be discussing
with police any issues or trends
officers were facing, and see if
the district council might be
able to offer support.
“I’m in regular contact with
the our police in Selwyn who
do a great job in maintaining
Selwyn’s record as one of the
safes places to live in New
Zealand,” Broughton said.

Call for
judges to
get tougher
• From page 1
The vehicle’s number plate had
been partially covered over. He
believes the same offenders also
robbed a Halswell dairy on Monday.
“One of them (offender) was a tiny
boy, he had no mask on. The others
were covered up. My wife was so
scared.
“They took vapes, lollies . . . It
(robbery) took about 30 seconds.”
Mehta said he would like to get
out of the business, but selling in the
current environment was difficult.
He had no option but to stay open.
“If I shut down, how can I feed my
family. It is not simple for me to do
something else.”
Police had taken away CCTV video
of the robbery in which the youngest
offender was unmasked, but he had
not heard back from them.
The Government and judges
needed to get tougher on youth offenders,
he said.
He had been called to a family
group conference next week where
he will meet one of the offenders involved
in a ram raid on his dairy – a
13-year-old. The teenager’s family
will also be there.
Mehta said he would tell the
teenager of the fear his young family
now endured, of not being able to
sleep worrying about the next ram
raid, and the pressure it was putting
on their mental health.
“Capital gain isn’t the only box this place ticks.
It’s well built. A lot of places are el cheapo,
but the joinery here is of good quality,
and the rooms are a good size.”
There are many more reasons why Woodcroft Estate could be
the right choice for you. Generously proportioned homes and a
real village feel are just the start of it. Why not visit our website
or call to find out just how much more there is to be gained with
our new take on retirement living.
“The capital gain is a
bonus. A real bonus.”

RESIDENTS HAVE until
Friday to have their say on
new medium density rules and
how they will apply in Selwyn
District.
New legislation requires
five of the largest urban environments
in New Zealand
– including parts of Selwyn
– to enable an increase in
housing supply, through a new
Medium Density Residential
Zone in relevant areas.
Said district council group
manager development and
growth Tim Harris: “While
changes set out by the Government
to encourage housing
supply are not optional, people
have the chance to shape the
details of what is affected.
“People can make a submission
about the new land that is
proposed to be rezoned from
rural to residential. There are
also places that the council
can deem inappropriate to
have the new medium density
standards applied to. This
includes protecting significant
infrastructure or the history,
cultural or ecological value of
a place.”
The new medium density
rules will allow for
more housing and at greater
heights in current residential
areas in Rolleston, Lincoln
and Prebbleton. Within these
areas, landowners will be able
to build up to three buildings
at a maximum of three storeys
high without requiring a
resource consent.
A free Friend of Submitter
service is available, provided
by the Ministry for the Environment,
to support people
in the process of making a
submission.

OUR PEOPLE – ALASTAIR FRIZZELL 13
Electronics inventor too busy to retire
Electronics inventor
Alastair Frizzell of
Kirwee has gone from
making amplifiers for
his music-fan friends
at university, to being
a leading developer
of agricultural solarpowered
technology.
He is also learning to
play the trombone. The
72-year-old spoke to
Susan Sandys
Tell me a bit about yourself.
I was brought up in Kirwee on
a dryland mixed cropping farm.
I went to Lincoln University
in the 1970s, did an ag science
degree. I did my OE, two-anda-half
years overseas touring
round Europe and Britain and
working on farms in the United
Kingdom. I came back onto the
home place, farmed that through
the droughts and the Roger
Douglas years.
Was it hard farming through
the droughts and recession of
the 1980s?
I remember one year during
that period we had no equity,
basically no value left in the
farm. Our bank manager said
at the time: ‘If you behave
yourself and do everything you
can, you will come through it.’
You don’t buy motor vehicles,
you don’t go on holidays at all,
you just don’t spend money
full stop. You do things like
you have one battery for two or
three vehicles, and you shift the
batteries around from vehicle to
vehicle.
Are you still farming the
family property today?
About 20 years ago, the
neighbouring farm came up for
sale. If we bought it, we would
have to go into dairying to
justify the extra expense. We
didn’t really want to do that. The
person who bought it went into
dairying and approached us to
see if we would rent our farm
to them, so we did that. If we
had any sense when we rented
out the farm, my wife Liz and I
would have retired.

CUTTING EDGE: Alastair Frizzell and son Nicholas will soon be launching this solarpowered
robotic irrigator. Below: Frizzell farmed the family property through recession
and drought in the 1980s. He is pictured towing son Hamish.
What did you do instead of
retiring?
Given that, when I was at
Lincoln, I was making amplifiers
for the other students as a parttime
hobby and had an interest
in electronics, we started an
electronics business (Frizzell
Agricultural Electronics).
Can you tell me about
making amplifiers for your
friends at university?
Back in those days it was vinyl
records. Amplifiers boost up the
power of the signal that comes
from the record turntable before
it feeds it to the speakers. They
were very expensive back then.
I started building the electronic
unit to connect to a turntable.
A friend of mine was interested
in cabinet-making, so he would
help me and build the speaker
boxes. We could produce the
gear for the students at a lower
price.
How did you go from musical
electronics to electronics for
farming?
The principles of electronics
are basically the same right
across. We always say that
you don’t ever invent
something, every invention
tends to build
on gear that is already there.
What are some of your
agricultural inventions
since establishing Frizzell
Agricultural Electronics?
What we were doing initially
was primarily weighing
equipment, through from
stock scales to weigh bridges.
We also did some irrigation
monitoring equipment. It then
progressed about eight years
ago, we started supplying solarpowered
water pumps, mostly
to hill country sheep and beef
farmers for stock water. My
youngest son, Nicholas, works
in the business here. He’s our
technical manager. He does a lot
of the design systems and solar
pumps.
Farmers pay tens of
thousands of dollars each year
in electricity to pump water for
irrigation, are you helping them
to go solar?
Solar water pumps have really
been a whole development
programme. We are starting
to put solar panels onto big
irrigation pumps, because with
the price of electricity now, it’s
economical to do that. One we
are doing at the moment has got
about 300 panels on it.
How many farmers are you
helping to move their irrigation
systems to solar?
About half a dozen so far,
and we have another 20 or 30
in the system working their
way through. They are located
typically from the top end of
Canterbury down through into
Otago. We have one group of
farmers that we are talking to
at the moment in Tarras. They
pump out of the Clutha and
they are paying nearly a million
dollars in electricity costs a year.
What is your latest invention?
The next development on the
list is an autonomous irrigator.
Centre pivots effectively irrigate
about 80 per cent of a square
field, all the corners get missed.
So you’ve got 20 per cent of a
dairy farm not producing to its
potential. What we are working
on is a robot irrigator that
walks its way round in that area
automatically, and does a much
more uniform irrigation.
Do you have any other
concepts or ideas you hope to
invent in the future?
No, my wife said I’m not
allowed any more.
Why is that?
Whilst we could have retired
quite happily on the income
from the rental of the farm, now,
according to my wife, all of that
money goes into research and
development in this company.
Do you regret that you did
not retire about 20 years ago
when you leased out the farm?
It depends on the days. When
everything is going wrong and
it’s terrible weather outside, you
go: ‘Why did I ever do this?

Let’s start by protecting

In Ōpākihi, it’s in our common interest to look out for each other. Let’s face it – flood policies that are
unfair to farmers will hurt urban residents too. Similarly, better water management benefits both town
and country, and preserving Mid-Canterbury’s wetlands matters to everyone. Let’s work towards
environmental stewardship.

OUR PEOPLE
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
‘It gets you out of bed in the morning’
• From page 13
I could be sitting up in
Brisbane or something on the
beach in the sun at the moment.’
But it’s the classic comment
of: ‘It gets you out of bed in the
morning.’ A lot of the satisfaction
is visiting properties, effectively
helping them to improve the
profitability and the efficiency of
their farms, and helping them to
solve problems, all that kind of
stuff.
You have a passion for what
you do?
Yes, I think so. I had a father
(Noel Frizzell) who was the
same too, that although they
had been farmers for four or
five generations, none of us were
“farmers.” Grand-dad was very
good at art and my younger
brother was an animation artist,
He did things like the Hairy
Maclary animation series (Euan
Frizzell). Dad farmed, but it was a
job. I mean, you like the farming,
but as much as anything, it
was a job rather than a life
devotion as such. Dad invented
a livestock ear-tag system that
was quite good, back in the day
when the very early ones were
not particularly convenient or
not that easy to use. He never
commercialised it. He also did
a pictorial history of Kirwee, a
book that is still selling quietly. It
traces the history of Kirwee.
PASSION FOR MUSIC: Alastair Frizzell (left) gets some trombone tips from Christchurch

CAFES AND restaurants
struggling for staff would be
well-advised to take on young
adults with special needs, says a
culinary skills tutor.
My Home Chef cooking school
owner operator Rita Yosef, of
Rolleston, said she had often
found her autistic and Down
Syndrome students flourishing
under her tuition.
Parents of her pupils – aged
from 11 to 25 – enrolled their
sons and daughters to help them
become independent.
But for those who wanted to
take their cooking skills further
and get a job in a kitchen, they
struggled to do so.
Those who did find employment
were relegated to menial
tasks, such as washing dishes,
and not adequately paid.
“They do the same work, I
think it’s really unfair and it’s
really unethical,” Yosef said.
Yosef was currently advocating
for one of her autistic students,
20-year-old Aron Harris, of
Prebbleton, who wanted to work
in a kitchen.
Hardworking and enthusiastic,
Aron had showed flair with all
sorts of dishes, including main
meals, desserts and baking.
“I throw all sorts of challenges
at him. When he cooks he is in
his happy place. He has a major
talent for it. I show him once, he
just does it,” Yosef said.
“I don’t make it easy for them,
I actually challenge them in

every class.”
Aron’s mother Jo Harris said
her son had always helped her in
the kitchen at home and loved
anything to do with food.
“This year he’s actually become
the best cook in our house,” Harris
said.
Aron was a student at Allenvale
School for specialist education
in Christchurch. He also worked
two hours voluntarily in a fruit
and vegetable store each week,
bagging items and carrying in
freight.
Aron said he had been disappointed
recently when two work
opportunities fell through.
First a work experience placement
in a Christchurch restaurant
that was pursued by his
disability worker did not eventuate,
then a planned internship at
a Rolleston fast food restaurant

was postponed indefinitely.
Aron said he was keen to find
paid part-time or full-time work,
ideally in food preparation.
“Cooking makes me feel
happy. I want a job so I can help,
and be part of a team,” he said.
Yosef said ultimately she
would like to see a restaurateur
in Selwyn create a business
model with a focus on employing
people with special needs. Restaurants
and cafes like this operated
throughout the world, and
owners had found them popular
with customers in general.
“It does work because they
put people with special needs in
front of our society and not at
the back,” Yosef said.

Keeping up to date
with your vaccinations
is really important,
even if you’ve already
had COVID-19.
You can catch COVID-19 more than once. Boosters
help protect you from getting very sick from COVID-19,
ending up in hospital, and even death.
Keeping up to date with your vaccinations is one of the most important things
you can do to help protect yourself, your whānau and your community.
A booster will provide extra protection from a previous vaccination and
help your immunity be stronger and last longer. And, by staying as healthy
as you can, you help reduce pressure on our communities, businesses and
the health sector.
If you’ve had COVID-19, you can get your booster three months after you
tested positive. Make sure you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations.
Check your eligibility at Covid19.govt.nz or call 0800 28 29 26.

Name and location confirmed for
new Leeston Community Centre
A name and location have been decided for the new Leeston Library
and Community Centre, which is expected to open within the next
three years.
The facility, which is one of Selwyn District Council’s major projects
in its Long Term Plan for 2021-2031, will be built next to Leeston
Reserve. The decision was confirmed at the Council’s August
meeting, after consultation with the local community.
Taste of culture for this year’s
Faces of Selwyn
Faces of Selwyn returns to the air waves this month with seven stories from residents
sharing their journeys to Selwyn and how to cook their favourite dishes.
The first two stories went live on air on PlainsFM radio station this week on Monday 12
and Tuesday 13, and the remaining stories will air on Thursday 15, Monday 19, Tuesday 20,
Thursday 22 and Friday 23 of September, as part of Culturefest.
This week, Deep Kumar, Agnes Guda and Farin Nisa share their passion for cooking their
favourite food from Italy, the Philippines and India.
Deep explains why he loves cooking traditional Italian cuisine at his restaurant Bicycle Thief
in Tai Tapu and cooking an Indian curry at his home in Rolleston. He describes the sounds of
chorizo and prawns sizzling on a pan, knives and forks tapping on plates and people eating,
as music to his ears.
Agnes shares why pork sinigang is the perfect dish from the Philippines to have on a cold
winter’s day.
And on Thursday 15, try peda for dessert with Farin Nisa, as she shares her journey from Fiji
to Rolleston.
Next week, turn on your stove, get out your pots and pans, and tune into 96.9FM at 5pm on
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Hear how to make Samoan Saka from Keith Morrison, discover Razi Syed’s simple side dish
of Indian Naan, find out what Mafatty and an African Braai is from Rue Jeche and lastly, learn
a Palestinian family fatteh recipe from Hiba Elhanafy.
These podcasts will also be available to listen to on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and on our
website: selwyn.govt.nz/community/faces-of-selwyn. For more Culturefest events visit
selwyn.govt.nz/culturefest.
Voting papers are on their way
Watch out for voting papers in your mailbox later this week – as voting gets under way in
Selwyn’s local elections.
Voting papers will be mailed to all enrolled voters over the next few days, and the official
voting period opens on Friday (16 September). Voting is by postal vote and closes at 12
midday on Saturday 8 October.
“This is a really important opportunity
for Selwyn residents to have a say on the
district’s future – and it only comes around
once every three years,” says Deputy
Electoral Officer Stephen Hill.
“We encourage people to take time to find
out about the candidates in their area, then
complete the voting forms and drop them
into the post.”
Voting papers can be posted at any NZ
Post postbox, and the Council is also
providing ballot boxes at the Council
offices, all Selwyn libraries, and many community and recreation centres.
As well as Selwyn council elections, voting papers will also include candidates standing for
your Environment Canterbury constituency. Voting papers include instructions on how to cast
your vote.
The community centre and library building will be called Whata
Rau – a name that has been generously gifted by Te Taumutu
Rūnanga. It references the food platforms that could historically be
seen by travellers on the flat landscape of Kā Pākihi Whakatekateka
o Waitaha (the Canterbury Plains). The platforms signalled pā and
the likelihood of food and manaaki/hospitality.
In gifting the name, the rūnanga noted that the name recognises
the many platforms and storage houses of knowledge and
resources to be found throughout the district. Whata Rau were the
epitome of manaaki – care, respect and hospitality - which is at
the heart of venues such as community centres and libraries. The
name also references the abundance of resources from Te Kete Ika
a Rākaihautū, Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere).
“Whata Rau is a very generous gift from Te Taumutu and I would
like to wholeheartedly thank the Rūnanga,” Council Group Manager
Community Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says.
Construction is planned to take place in the 2024/2025
financial year.
Last week for feedback on medium
density rules
This week is the last opportunity to have your say on new housing
intensification rules and how they will apply in Selwyn district.
New legislation requires five of the largest urban environments in
New Zealand – including parts of Selwyn – to enable an increase in
housing supply, through a new Medium Density Residential Zone in
relevant areas.
“While changes set out by the Government to encourage housing
supply are not optional, people have the chance to shape the details
of what is affected,” Council Group Manager Development and
Growth Tim Harris says.
“Anyone can make a submission about new land that is proposed
to be rezoned from rural to residential. There are also places that
the Council can deem inappropriate to have the new medium
density standards applied to. This includes protecting significant
infrastructure or the history, cultural or ecological value of a place,”
he says.
The new housing intensification rules will allow for more housing
and at greater heights in current residential areas in Rolleston,
Lincoln and Prebbleton. Within these areas, landowners will be able
to build up to three buildings at a maximum of three storeys high
without requiring a resource consent.
You can find out more about the variations to Proposed Selwyn
District Plan and certain Private Plan Changes to the Operative
Selwyn District Plan, supporting information, and submission forms
at selwyn.govt.nz/yoursay, and at Council service centres and public
libraries in Darfield, Leeston and Rolleston.
A free Friend of Submitter service is also available, provided by the
Ministry for the Environment, to support people in the process of
making a submission.
Submissions can be made until 5pm, Friday 16 September 2022.
If you don’t receive voting papers, it may be because you’re not enrolled, or have recently
moved into the district or changed address – but you can still vote by special vote.
“I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t yet enrolled or updated their details to do so and cast a
special vote.”
You can request special voting papers from the Council at electoral.officer@selwyn.govt.nz or
0800 SELWYN (0800 735 996), or call in to the Council offices or any Selwyn library during
open hours.
More information on enrolling, voting and special votes – as well as candidate profiles, ward
maps and other information – is available at selwyn.govt.nz/elections.

Books kick-start literacy, language and
learning about local Māori legends
CHILDREN AT Selwyn schools
and early childhood centres are
being given a series of new books
about local Māori legends that
have been illustrated by young
artists.
Canterbury University wellbeing
institute director Professor
Gail Gillon said the new books
are designed to develop children’s
oral language and literacy
skills.
Using funding provided by
the Ministry of Education,
600 copies of the books will be
given to 50 schools, nearly 100
early childhood centres and six
libraries in the Taumutu area,
which centres around Taumutu
and Waihora and extends as far
south as the Ashburton River
and Hakatere in Mid Canterbury.
The books are the result
of a collaboration between
Canterbury University’s Child
Well-being Research Institute
and Te Taumutu Rūnanga o Ngāi
Tahu.
The books depict three different
pūrākau (myths) that are significant
to Taumutu, including
Ruru and the Giant Pouākai, The
Creation of Tuna, and Taniwha
and the Rakaia Gorge.
Larger size versions for
teachers to read are being
distributed this month, along
with smaller versions called
readers. The readers have
simpler text for children to read
themselves after they have heard
the longer versions.
Gillon said the books are designed
to develop oral language
and literacy skills while also

helping children learn about
Māori legends and places that
are an important part of their
local cultural history.
“We are delighted to have
been able to work alongside Te
Taumutu Rūnanga to bring these
stories to life for young readers,”
she said.
“The books were developed
as part of a research project
within the Better Start National
Science Challenge in response to
the rūnanga’s call for culturally
appropriate and place-based
stories relevant to local
communities. Local rangatahi
have created the illustrations and
the result is a beautiful series of
books.”
The books were produced as
part of a pilot study for an early
childhood literacy approach,
in partnership with Kidsfirst
Kindergartens, called Words
Can POP.
Led by Gillon and Professor
Brigid McNeill from Canterbury
University, the Words Can POP
framework builds three-to-fouryear-old
children’s skills in oral
language, early phoneme and
print awareness, vocabulary and
story-telling skills.
The pilot research was
successfully implemented in
partnership with Kidsfirst in
24 of their kindergartens in the
Canterbury region.
Wetlands need to be carefully managed
I TAKE my dog for walks
around the wetlands on
Ellesmere Rd in Lincoln.
Would it be too much to ask
for the council to put bins for
rubbish and to encourage dog
owners to put poo bags in bin
and not to pollute the land?
That’s what the rates go towards,
isn’t it? And some picnic
tables to encourage family and
people, locals to get out and
about to enjoy the natural beauty
Lincoln has to offer.
Loving the natural beauty of
New Zealand.
-Liz Goslin
District council reserves
operations manager Jonathan
Crawford responds:
“We are currently working
through the access points and
linkages from surrounding
development and as part of that
we will be looking into putting
in bins. We’re also considering a
possible picnic area at the Ellesmere
Rd entrance in the future.
“The wetland reserves themselves
are a protected area and a
sensitive ecology. While we do
encourage people to use them for
walking and cycling and enjoying
the fantastic native plants
and bird-life in these areas, we
do have to be sensitive to protecting
them as well.
“Because of the risks of damage
to the ecology from food
scraps and the like we would
not put picnic tables with the
wetlands.
“While these wetlands are
open to dogs on leads we also
encourage dog owners to be considerate
of these precious areas
and other users, and we encourage
them to consider using other
exercise areas for dogs, such
as the off-leash exercise areas
around Lincoln Event Centre.
“We are working through a
process for building a dedicated
dog park in Lincoln, which will
add an additional exercise area
along with the new Springs Park
on Springs Rd, which is due to
open later this year.”

Thanks to the patrons,

Keep your diesel engine
running at its best
Many people will know someone who
has accidentally filled their diesel vehicle
with petrol. There may be minimal
problems if it’s noticed straight away and
drained. However, driving your diesel
vehicle with petrol in it for any length of
time may cause damage and mean your
fuel pump and injector may need to be
replaced. The team at Diesel Fix, 821 Jones
Road, Rolleston, are diesel specialists
in fuel injectors, vehicle diagnostics,
reconditioning fuel injectors and pumps,
and mechanical repairs for various diesel
vehicles, including tractors and agricultural
equipment. Phil and the team will complete
the work on-site and get you back on the
road as quickly as possible.
With Diesel Fix located in Rolleston,
there is easy accessibility to this specialist
service and the equipment needed for
repairs, with staff providing excellent
knowledge and customer service. To keep
your diesel engine running at its best,
you should be aware of common bad
fuel injector signs. On average, diesel fuel
injectors last up to 160,000 km, but damage
can occur to fuel injectors at any time, and
they will become less efficient over time.

your fuel injection system will give poor
performance and may cause your vehicle
to have low RPMs or rev inconsistently. If
your vehicle misfires or you have trouble
starting, it could be due to a clogged or
incorrectly opening fuel injector. Smelling
a strong diesel odour may mean a leak
due to a crack or a valve not closing
correctly. With higher diesel fuel costs at
the moment, experiencing reduced fuel
economy is the last thing you want. Worn
fuel injectors may be the cause as more
fuel will need to be burned to obtain the
performance output.
For honest advice you can trust, Phil and
the team will efficiently take care of any
problems with your vehicle. While many

wasn’t sure what to expect when
he bred a Sundon mare to a
pacing stallion.
But judging from her sizzling
form at the trials Jezebel looks to
be an exciting prospect.
“I’ve never had one who works
like she works. She’s big and
powerful and glides over the
ground,” he said.
Four-year-old mare Jezebel is
by Sir Lincoln out of Proserpina.
She was an unraced mare by

“We were quite happy leading

last week and he has trained on

The son of Jereme’s Jet was
nearing the end of his racing career

– eight of which went to pacing

trotting stallion, the one and only
Sundon no less. Why?
“The reason I went to Sundon
was that two of Smooth Nero’s
foals by pacing sires could both
trot a bit so I decided to try her
with a trotting sire.”
Jezebel is the third and final
foal from Proserpina, who died
in 2019. Her most successful
progeny to date has been Kar

His belief in the gelding was
vindicated, extending his racing
career for another six seasons.
“At the end of his pacing career

said.
“When we were jogging him
he could trot quite well so I

Anderson bred Jezebel on a bit
of a whim.
“I was offered a free service
to Sir Lincoln and thought why
not?” Anderson said.
“Some people have asked me
about breeding to a trotting mare
but I had nothing to lose really.”
Foaled in 2017, Jezebel showed
ability as a pacer right from the
start but her initial campaign
was derailed by injury.
“She got sore after flying home
at the trials one day and she had
a hairline fracture in her foot.”
“I decided to get her operated
on, it cost $4000 and she’s now
hold your breath kind of horse.
“It was his first win as trotter
on the grass today, so it was good
to add to his previous win on the
grass as a pacer.”
Of his 15 wins to date, O’Reilly
highlighted one of his victories
as a pacer as his proudest moment.

won the Kurow Cup as a pacer.
That was great,” he said.

The investment might yet pay
dividends for Anderson, who has
had 130 driving and 40 training
wins since starting out in the
1980s. His biggest moment in the
cart was finishing second to Iraklis
in the 1997 New Zealand Cup
with Smooth Dominion, trained
by his good mate Mike Stevens.
At last week’s trials at Rangiora
Jezebel missed away, losing about
30 metres before storming home
to be just a head away from the
pace-making winner, Vincent
Vega. Her time for the 2600m
was 3:26.6. Vega Vincent went
with Jerry Garcia.
“When he is 13-years-old I
don’t think he can race, so this
is his last season and we will try
and pick a race that is suitable for
him,” he said.
O’Reilly was pleased to be racing
back on the grass at Methven
and said it remains a vital part of
the industry.
“I love racing at Methven and
on the grass,” he said.
“It suits horses that can’t
compete at Addington.”

Anderson says he’s had some
offers for her.
“But I’ll keep her – that’s my
thinking right now.”
Jezebel has had a solid buildup
of standing start workouts
and trials of late, and is likely to
front up behind the mobile gate
at the trials in the fortnight or so.
“If she stays sound hopefully
she’ll be racing in October.”

Conservation Society.
If elected I will consult with and support our

our water supplies? We need as a community
to implement the Rolleston Flyover Project
right first time. The next council term is key to
ensuring this project is future proof.
One of my main priorities in Selwyn is to
ensure our housing developments are more
sustainable and we reduce our impact
on productive land. I have worked in the
Construction and Engineering Industries for
40 years and I am currently working on
major projects including Te Kaha and our

John Sunckell Standing for Environment Canterbury
It has been a privilege to represent Mid
Canterbury, Ashburton and Selwyn Districts for
the past six years.
I am a father, farmer and paramedic first and
a politician second. I know the challenges
that we and the environment face and the
requirement for balanced decision making.
Three of my standout achievements this term
include instigating the public transport reduced
fare trial, the removal of fare zones in Selwyn
and getting the Selwyn and Ashburton river
catchments firmly onto our agenda following
the 2021 floods.
Another big piece of work that I am leading as
the chair of Finance and Risk is how we better
develop business cases for our work, prioritise
our expenditure to ensure value of outcomes
and reduce the rate burden.
Our biggest challenges in the coming term
will be giving effect to the torrent of policy
and rule changes coming at us from Central
Government.
One in particular how we rewrite through
co-design with Ngai Tahu our environmental
planning rules to meet the Governments
new requirements under the National Policy
Statement on Freshwater.
These changes are going to override a lot of
local community wishes and aspirations.
It is critical that you the wider community
get as early a say in these matters because
our statutory responsibilities sit with you the
ratepayers and community.
Therefore my experience counts as we
navigate this, I seek your ongoing support as
an advocate for Mid Canterbury.

Ian Mackenzie Standing for Environment Canterbury
I’ve lived and farmed at Akaunui, south east
of Ashburton since graduating from Lincoln
College. I bring local leadership with a sound
knowledge of the Canterbury region but
particularly the Ashburton and Selwyn districts,
having fished and boated most of the rivers,
and tramped, skied, bicycled and climbed
most of the back country. I have a long history
of serving my community in a variety of roles,
including leading environmental stewardship
initiatives across the region and on my own
land. I have supported seed funding for
catchment collectives to work with landowners
to further this.
As a councillor I’ve been leading reviews of
our flood protection and river management
and how we fund these, with particular
consideration of the additional threat climate
change brings. It is my strong opinion that $s
spent on preventing flood damage is much
better than cleaning up after events. I’ve
brought governance skills, pragmatism, and
common sense to the council. I’m led by
science and facts rather than political rhetoric;
and advocate for a frugal and accountable
regime when spending your ratepayers’
money. However, I acknowledge there is still
much to be done in improving our biodiversity
and freshwater values, building on the huge
amount of work already underway.
I was a member of the ministerial advisory
group that helped design the First National
Policy Statement for Freshwater that set the
requirement to improve our water quality. This
is a long game and Environment Canterbury
has lead NZ in implementing plans to further
this important work. Implementing the new
NPSFW to set us on the path to further protect
and improve water quality while maintaining
social and economic benefits will take careful
leadership and common sense. Having served
one term on council I think I can offer that
common sense and leadership.

I will continue to work alongside community
committees and residents bringing local issues

A successful Council is dependent on each
elected representative bringing their strengths
to the table for open debate. On your behalf
I’m not afraid to ask the hard questions
however I can never guarantee “the answer
you want”. Decision-making is based on the
majority agreeing on an outcome.
Accountability: Responding to Councils
multimillion dollar budget I hold Institute of
Directors membership and appointment to
Council’s Audit and Risk Committee. I sent
a personal submission to the Three Water
Reforms questioning the process for public
accountability and community engagement.
Future for Local Government: Recent
Central Government policy directives for
growth has attracted a lot of attention.
Reviewing the Future for Local Government
is next and still unknown. Instead of playing
the “blame game” or “we know best” good
governance is talking about our issues and
sharing ideas that challenge our current
thinking to make positive changes.
Community Projects: For Springs Ward
I support Lincoln’s Town Centre upgrade, new
Prebbleton Community facility and sealing of
Peryman’s Road Tai Tapu being started this
term. These projects are funded in Council’s
budget.
Climate Change: I hold university
qualifications in Environmental Management
to advocate for Climate Change planning.

Nicole Reid Standing for Rolleston Ward
I was first elected to council in 2016; and
would be honoured to be elected again for a
third term to represent the Rolleston ward.
I stand for a sustainable and accessible
Selwyn.
With an environmental planning and
engineering background, my sustainability
focus is for a cleaner, healthier environment.
Therefore I will continue to advocate for
walking and cycling routes, more public
transport options, sustainable waste initiatives,
and planning for climate change resilience.
After moving to Rolleston 12 years ago,
I struggled to easily navigate around town
at times with our young family. That led to
my determined advocacy for accessibility
improvements; which continued when on
council, with the aim that everyone can equally
participate in our community. This includes
having safer streets so, for example, parents
don’t think they have to drive their children
to school and elsewhere. If people feel
safer getting around without their vehicles
then our towns can be centred more around
people. Therefore it will mean our towns will
be more liveable places for us all. This has
been a keen focus of mine particularly, which
includes a vibrant town centre, public art, and
community spaces.
My current council positions are Selwyn
Waihora Water Zone Committee
representative, proposed district plan
hearings commissioner, and I am also deputy
Chairperson of Council’s Audit and Risk
Subcommittee.

Moneel Pratap Standing for Rolleston Ward
“Your life is my life”- Moneel.
I’m very proud to call Rolleston my home.
Originally Wellington born and bred I have laid
down my roots here because I believe it is a
place of opportunity and huge potential - a
place where the Kiwi Dream is still achievable.
I sincerely believe we live in the best district in
the country and I am very passionate to see us
grow and live our best life here.
I hold a Business degree and Management
qualifications. I have excellent financial
acumen to deliver results that also adheres to
council budgets.
With my effective problem solving skills I’m
confident ill add immense amount of value to
our town and its future - without a focus on
increasing rates.
My focuses: Your quality of life. Any of the
Councils services affecting you I want to
know about it. Innovative infrastructure and
community facilities that meet our needs not
just for today but for many generations. Crime
prevention and improving community safety.
What’s important to you is a big deal to me.
I take action and simply get things done.
As an independent candidate I believe in
sincerely listening to your views, understanding
your life and bringing these perspectives to
council to improve your daily living and the
future of Selwyn.
As your Councillor I promise to be proactive
in our community, be transparent and deliver
results.
I assure that with your vote together we will
make a difference.
Thank you for your interest and thank you for
caring.

Sophie McInnes Standing for Rolleston Ward
Kia ora, and thank you for your interest in local
body elections. Voting is an important part of
our democracy, and it’s great to see a range
of candidates standing this year. I would also
like to welcome to everyone who has moved
to Rolleston recently; this really is a fantastic
place and it’s been an honour to serve as one
of your councillors.
I come from a family of SME owners, have
worked in a range of sectors, have three
children, and volunteer with Rolleston
Rotary and Te Rōhutu Whio school. Being
on council is my only paid role these days,
however I am also a postgraduate student
at Lincoln University, seeking to deepen my
understanding of resource management issues
and legislation.
My priority is to ensure that the next generation
can prosper and thrive, by making long-term
and locally-relevant decisions about housing,
transport, waste, community resilience, and
climate change. Central government make a
lot of the “big” decisions in these areas, but
how we apply them at a local level is up to us.
I also believe in being where the people are –
communicating council’s work not just through
residents associations, but speaking with
locals and engaging on social media. Please
let me know if you ever want a chat.
I look forward to elevating the voices of
Rolleston and the wider district for another
3 years.

Fundraising for
Jamboree
UP A GEAR: After a strong start to the season, Muscle Mountain will now
keep tuning up ahead of the Canterbury Park Trotting Cup.
PHOTO: HRNZ
Bigger and better
Muscle Mountain
impresses
• By Jonny Turner
TROTTING FANS got their first glimpse
of the older, wiser and faster Muscle
Mountain when he started his spring on a
perfect note in the Ordeal Trotting Cup at
Addington on Friday night.
The Greg and Nina Hope trained fiveyear-old
sped off the back of last year’s
Dominion runner-up Mataderos to win
the Group Three feature in the hands of
Ben Hope.
Though they clearly had an established
Group One winning star on their hands,
the feeling within the Hope camp is
that after a full season of open class
competition, Muscle Mountain has
returned an even stronger force this
spring.
“He felt like he has gone up a gear, to be
honest,” Ben Hope said.
“He feels like he has taken that next step
and hopefully he continues to show that
this campaign.”
Muscle Mountain was away quickly
from the standing start tapes, in the first
show that he is older and wiser than last
year.
In stark contrast, the trotter missed
away in his fresh-up run last year.
After jumping into an early trail, there
were little concerns for favourite punters
with such a classy trotter getting such a
sweet run.
“He did it on his ear, to be honest,”
Hope said.
“The best part was that he stepped well
and showed good manners, he was good
to drive and relaxed in the running.
“He got the run to win and he was too
good on the day.”
Muscle Mountain ended the winning
run of Sundees Son in the Ordeal
Trotting Cup.
After three consecutive wins in the
feature race, the undisputed king of New
Zealand trotting bypassed this year’s
edition.
Muscle Mountain will now keep tuning
up for his face-to-face meetings with the
champ.
But how he moves forward isn’t quite
certain.
The Hope team plan to start Muscle
Mountain in the Canterbury Park
Trotting Cup, which is more than a
month away.
They’d love to start in a race before
then, but need to find an event where
Muscle Mountain isn’t off a huge
handicap.
“The Canterbury Park Trotting Cup
is about five weeks away, so we wouldn’t
mind having a race before then.”
“But in saying that, we don’t want to be
off 50m or something like that.
“We will see if we can find a race where
he would be off a reasonable handicap
and if we can find one it would be
great.”
Mataderos fought hard to take second
behind Muscle Mountain and though he
was defeated there was plenty of merit in
his run.
The trotter looked to stride out more
fluently than in his win at Addington last
week.
Majestic Man tracked the first two
throughout from three back on the pegs
and he took third.

Being able to take part in the New
Zealand Scout Jamboree 2023 means
everything to 10-year-old West Melton
local Grace Wittington.
Grace, a member of the Rolleston Scout
Group, has come up with an enterprising
way to fundraise the $2300 she needs
to attend the event in Mystery Creek,
Hamilton next year – Sunday carwashes.
Grace, with the help of her younger
brother, Ryan, is offering to wash cars
every second Sunday until she has the
funds she needs.
She says she thinks the jamboree would
be a “really fun experience and she would
love to go and would be ecstatic” if people
would support her fundraising venture.
While the Scouts will also be
fundraising as a group, members are also
encouraged to individually fundraise to
meet their goals.
Grace says her first carwash session
went well, and her customers were very
happy. She charges $10 for small cars and
$15 for utes and vans.

Welcome to
West Melton
New artisan market
West Melton Community
Market organiser Tania
Fernandez with her two girls
Adyson (6) and Cora (4) and
Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg.
A new artisan market held monthly
in West Melton will benefit community
groups, says organiser Tania Fernandez.
“Any profits generated from the market
will be distributed to community groups
as nominated and voted on by visitors to
the market.”
The West Melton Community Market
is on the first Sunday of each month from
9.30am and 12.30pm in the grounds of
the West Melton Community Centre,
1163 West Coast Rd.
Tania says the first market held at the
beginning of September was a resounding
success with a great, relaxed, friendly vibe
on the day where visitors could browse
the stalls while listening to music and
enjoying a coffee or an ice cream.
“We were impressed with the
community support. Over 300 people
visited. The local community enjoyed
being able to walk or bike to the market
and families with kids made the most of
the playground and skate park located
beside the community centre.”
Stall holders from West Melton,
Selwyn and further afield took part in
the new market offering a diverse range
of products including plants, honey
and seasonal farm produce, children’s
clothing, wood and stone sculptures,
Thermomix, candles, wine barrel trays
and furniture, crystals, earrings, wheat
bags, swim and book bags, bakery
products, soaps and skin care, macramé
and much more.
“We received positive feedback from
the stall holders and new stall holders
have already started to enquire about our
October event,” says Tania. “We’re all
looking forward to the next one.”
She says she’s also had great response
from local businesses offering to help
such as Four Square with discounted
products for the sausage sizzle. “Fund
raising groups are also invited to take part
and run a sausage sizzle.”
The next market is Sunday October 2
at the West Melton Community Centre.

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
If your soil is dry enough now is the
AFTER AN extraordinarily wet
winter, fingers crossed that the
weather settles down so we can
get back into our gardens.
Towards the end of the month
temperatures will begin to
increase, making it feel a little
more like spring.
Houseplant care
Time to repot houseplants that
have become “root bound” (its
roots have filled the container it
is growing in, and it stops growing
well). Choose a larger container
and if it is not new, clean
it thoroughly and check there are
adequate drainage holes – this is
very important for houseplants.
Remove the houseplant from
the existing container by either
soaking in water for a short time
or run a sharp knife around the
inside edge of the container.
Where roots are heavily entwined
make short cuts through
the roots around the sides of the
root ball and across the base of
the roots.
Using fresh potting mix, repot
the house plant to the same level
it was growing previously and
water immediately. The new potting
mix contains slow-release
fertiliser, so you won’t need to
fertilise for a few months.
Vegetable garden
It is still a little early for
planting summer vegetables,
however, preparation of sites
for these plants should be in
full swing, with the addition of
fresh compost and/or garden
mix into the existing soil. Plan
to rotate crops from previous
years, especially potatoes. Young
seedlings of summer vegetables
should be in active growth in a
sheltered glasshouse or similar
structure. If you are just starting
to sow your seeds indoors, use a
seed mix especially designed for
germinating and growing from
seeds.
In the flower garden
Annuals like dwarf cineraria
are an excellent choice for late
winter, and early spring flowering.
Flowering annuals that
overlap the seasons e.g., pansies,
violas, and alyssum can now be
planted.
SKILL: If
you can’t
get outside
because of the
conditions,
repotting
houseplants
is a good
alternative.
Garden centres are now well
stocked with a range of interesting
flowering perennials (plants
that live for more than one
growing season), and this is the
perfect time for planting. Prepare
the soil thoroughly with the addition
of fresh compost.

crushed bark or pea straw around the
plants to create a ‘clean bed’ for developing
fruit. By mid-October, strawberry
plants that are growing on raised mounds
will start providing edible fruit.
Fruit trees
Give pip and stone fruit trees, apricots,
apples, nectarines, peaches, and plums
a final spray of a copper compound as
a last protective measure against fungal
infections. It is still a little early to apply
fertiliser, from mid-October onwards is
the recommended time.
Rose care
As with many other plants, towards
the end of September, the first of the new
season’s growth will appear on ‘bare’ rose
bushes. Early in September spray with
the final protective fungicide or copper
compound and ensure that all last
season’s leaves are removed from the rose
garden to prevent reinfection of black
spot and rust. The addition of fresh compost
around rose bushes will encourage
strong, healthy growth.
SMALL BEGINNINGS: Start sowing
your summer vegetables indoors.
Right: Place crushed bark or pea
straw around strawberry plants to
create a ‘clean bed’ for developing
fruit.
Hedges
Time to give hedges a quick ‘tidy up’
before spring growth begins. Sometimes
forgotten, hedge plants, like all plants in
the home garden require regular care.
The best hedges are those that are regularly
pruned.
Lawns
Many lawns will still be too wet for any
repair work. Moss may have appeared
in wet, shady areas in the lawn. Don’t
worry as this will burn off during the hot,
dry summer months. However, if some
areas of the lawn have become very wet
or boggy over winter, you may need to
install additional drainage to remedy this.

September weather can be up and down,
so proceed with caution when planting your
veggie seedlings. The frosts can still hit and
damage young seedlings. If you haven’t
yet prepared your gardens for planting, dig
over organic compost and sheep pellets to
give add vital organic nutrients. If you are
starting a raised garden from scratch, you
can’t go past our Veggie Garden Mix.
Having a good quality soil is key for
growing a bumper crop. For leafy, above
the ground produce, choose Intelligro
Veggie Garden Mix. For root crops,
(potatoes, radishes etc) choose Intelligro
Garden Soil Mix. These plants do best in a
mix that has a soil component in it.
Vegepods
These are a great way to grow a garden all year
round. With the benefits of a raised garden
bed, these pods are at the perfect height for
working while standing up, and out of reach of
pests. Vegepods are available in Small, Medium,
and Large and start from $229. We recommend
using our Veggie Garden Mix in here.

Hybrid SUV with a point of difference
IF YOU THINK the cost of fuel is
taxing the household budget now,
I read recently that motor industry
commentators were expecting
prices to fluctuate for months to
come.
That’s where electric vehicles
and hybrids come in, cutting
down the use of petrol is on the
minds of almost everyone and
there is no better time to buy a
hybrid. What’s more there is no
better time to make that purchase
the new generation Mitsubishi
Outlander PHEV; from $60,990 all
three models in the PHEV range
qualify for a $5750 New Zealand
Government Clean Car Rebate.
This evaluation focuses on the
range-topping VRX that is listed at
$73,990 and was carrying a couple
of high-grade extras – light grey
cross-stitched leather trim and
diamond flake paint that together
adds around an extra $1500.
By the time you add in on-road
costs, the Outlander PHEV in this
form is sitting towards the luxury
car bracket and it’s fair to say that
it is very much a luxury model,
it has an extremely high level of
fitment and the cabin area is plush
and comforting – a lot to do with
the prestige of that light leather.
I particularly like it and I like the
feel from inside, it is Mitsubishi’s
flagship SUV and it’s worthy of the
near $80k price tag.
What is also very tempting
is Mitsubishi’s fuel use claim of
1.6-litres per 100km. Sure, that’s
at best possible usage, but like all
hybrids the Outlander is frugal, it
is so thrifty that it is hard to fathom
that we are talking about a big SUV
that has seven seats (XLS and VRX)
and a lot of off-the-seal potential.
There are dials and buttons that can
quickly alter the driveline settings
so that cross-country travel can
be tailored to suit the impending
conditions.
As its nomenclature suggests,
the Outlander PHEV is a plugin
hybrid. No surprises there,
OWNERS OF the
Christchurch Mitsubishi
dealership Mathew
and Nicola Barr have
been presented with a
Diamond Dealer award.
Out of the 59 New
Zealand Mitsubishi
dealerships, Christchurch
Mitsubishi was
one of nine dealerships
to be awarded for 2022,
and the only South
Island dealership to win
an award.
The dealership ended
the financial year with
an average of four new
vehicle sales a day. In
addition, the Barrs built
and opened a second
dealership in Rangiora in
2021.
“The Diamond Dealer award was
an outstanding result achieved by the
whole team at Christchurch Mitsubishi,”
Mitsubishi launched the PHEV
here in 2014 and since then it has
become the plug-in benchmark.
It stole the lead, and eight years
later it is still turning heads with
its technology and quality. It is all
new for 2022, there is a fresh, curvy
shape and its interior has been
redesigned to provide optimum
user-friendly status.
As plug-ins have become more
popular, so has my ability to
relax with them. Charging is easy
and, what’s more, Mitsubishi has
provided a home charging cable
of decent length – 5m to be exact.
I don’t have a designated wallbox
or charging system at my home,
so it’s a matter of using the long
cable and plugging into a standard
three-pin socket located on the
wall of my garage. It’s a fair distance
to the car which is why the long
cable is so important to me; and,
of course, a type 2 to type 2 cable
is also included for when you have
the need to connect to a designated
public-use charge port.
The distance you can travel on
electric only mode is claimed by
Mitsubishi to be up to 84km, that
sits well with the readout during
my time with the test car although
on a cold morning that distance
is slightly reduced, but with the
warmth of the day it lengthens.
There’s no fear of range anxiety
either, if battery capacity is
depleted the petrol engine kicks in
and normal transmission resumes,
fossil fuel drive is motivated. On a
full tank a readout indicates around
500km can be travelled before the
petrol tank needs replenishing.
The Outlander’s hybrid driveline
is far from simple, it’s a twin motor
system, one up front and one at the
rear, there’s also a 2.4-litre fourcylinder
engine that drives through
an eight-step continuously variable
transmission.
Mitsubishi claims a power output
of 98kW with 195Nm of torque,
while these figures may seem a
little modest you have to take into
SUCCESS: Mathew Barr (left)
and Steve Hammond with the
Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer
award.

account there is a wealth of power
and torque through electrical
supply pumping the figures up by
85kW/100kW and 255Nm/195Nm
front to rear respectively. You can
sure feel the surge of the latter
under acceleration, the combined
force from the engine and motor
is quite vivid, especially in power
mode.
Out of all the drive modes
the one I liked the most was the
designated one-pedal EV mode, it
ushers in acceleration willingly, but
also provides solid braking impetus
as soon as the throttle pedal is
disengaged, it’s quite a reassuring
feeling.
I took the Outlander PHEV on
much of my normal route inland
towards Darfield, the weather was
grim with heavy rain and wind,
but I felt entirely comfortable with

Chch dealership wins Mitsubishi award
Barr said.
“These awards are
ferociously competitive
and this goes to
show the high level of
customer service the
team at Christchurch
Mitsubishi offers.”
General manager of
the dealership, Steve
Hammond, said everyone
at the dealership
was thrilled with
the award.
“These are awarded
for dealership
excellence in all
aspects of the business
– service, parts,
sales and customer
service. We are so
proud of the whole
team at Christchurch
Mitsubishi, who work tirelessly every day.
This award is recognition for all their work.
This award is for them,” Hammond said.

connection between driver and the
road, a lot of that has to do with
the complexity of the suspension,
while the spring and damper rates
are biased towards that luxury feel
I alluded to earlier, there is enough
compliance in the system so that
bumps are ruts are dealt to, but
stability isn’t compromised, the
body structure is held level.
I had the evaluation car in my
care for a week and I very early
grew to enjoy its rather special
characteristics, not only is it more
than just one vehicle, all that it
can achieve it does so very well.
Sure, the two rear seats are a bit
confining for those large of stature,
but it’s no different to any other
seven-seater of this size, rear
load space is still very generous
at 472-litres with the third row of
seats flat – spanning to 1373-litres
with the second row down.
If the Outlander PHEV is out
of reach financially, bear in mind
that much the same driveline is
available in the Eclipse Cross,
Mitsubishi’s mid-size SUV, and
from $52,990 it is a lot more
affordable. It also qualifies for a
$5750 rebate.
I know two people who own an
Outlander hybrid and both are
thrilled with their purchase. That’s
no surprise, the Outlander has long
been one of my favourite SUVs,
and the hybrid version is just the
icing on the cake.

Wednesday September 14 2022 Selwyn Times 49
Selwyn is my home, I grew up here
on a farm and now live in Darfield
with Liz and our daughter Elliott.
Whether your story in Selwyn is
generations old or just beginning,
I hope you share a sense of
pride in our heritage, love for
our community today, and
a heart of responsibility
for our future.
That's the reason why
I’m running to continue
serving as Mayor and
I appreciate your
continued support.

50 Selwyn Times Wednesday September 14 2022
Our Selwyn Opportunity
Last year more New Zealanders
moved to Selwyn than anywhere
else in New Zealand. They did this
for their family or business’s stake
in our success.
There are lots of changes currently
forced on our community by new
legislation. I will lead a council that
does not get distracted by what
we can’t control but continues to
focus on what we do best and
how we shape ourselves as the
most desired place to bring up a
family and grow a business.
Our largest industries are agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, and new enterprises
are popping up all the time. Our council is supportive of this and takes an enabling role in
administering rules to keep people safe.
Our investment in Izone kicked off our industrial and logistics journey. Likewise the Rolleston
Town Centre will see a new range of opportunities for businesses to start up and relocate to
Selwyn. It means more opportunity closer to home for those of us who live here.
Boosting our Next Generation
Like all of New Zealand, our
population will age over time
– however, in recent years our
average age has continued to
get younger and now sits at 36
years. These stats vary from
town to town and you know
this depending on which streets
you regularly walk down. I want
to see all our people fulfill their
potential and be well.
One of my roles is to make
connections and weave
pathways of opportunity for
others to walk. That’s why
I’ve supported young people on many different programs, visits, and experiences. We
have awesome local educational opportunities with fantastic schools across our District
and of course, Lincoln University.
Over the next three years I will strengthen partnership links with the Ministries of
Education, Social Development, and Business Innovation and Employment.
Early in the New Term
• Regional collaboration via the Ca

Rural Communities
I grew up on a farm and know the strong
sense of identity our rural community has.
I enjoy the open space, seeing familiar
faces while ducking down to Four Square
for supplies, and talking with Errol as I get
Elliott an oversized ice cream after school.
This sense of belonging and community is
something to nurture and protect.
Our rural community has led many changes
in recent years through more efficient use
of water, best farm management practices,
increased regulation, and changing
international markets. We have protected our outstan
enhanced biodiversity.
The Food and Fibre sector has kept our economy heal
and we need to ensure its bright future is realised. Co

One of the best things about living in
Selwyn is the mountains, whether viewing
from afar or exploring within. Likewise our
rivers are cherished and provide plenty
of activity and recreation. But our
environment and climate are changing.
Climate change brings new challenges
and an urgency to action. We need to
understand managed retreat, changing
land use, and more frequent heavy
rainfalls. Climate adaptation is a key
component of Council’s decision making and planning. We need all government, businesses
and families to make shifts in the way we do things. Our rivers need ECan to fund and
complete preventative management work including gravel extraction.
We embed carbon in our infrastructure so must avoid harmful long term outcomes from short
term cost savings. I led the establishment of the Darfield and Leeston subsidised bus services
and I will continue to advocate for their expansion. An enhanced public and active transport
system is required to lower the number of vehicle kilometers we travel each year.
With the mayors of our region I launched ItsTimeCanterbury.co.nz to lift understanding and
help shape our local conversations about the climate and more is required in the new term.

As Selwyn grows we need to
ensure community facilities are built and
renewed at the same pace. I first ran to
be Mayor out of frustration at too much
talking and little delivery. I’m proud of
leading a Council that listens, discusses,
and now delivers real results for Selwyn.
The Council I lead has delivered The
Health Hub, Selwyn Sports Centre,
Aquatics extension, football and
hockey turfs and Te Ara Atea. We have
improved our water and waste water
networks, expanded our waste and resource recovery options and when the Government told
us our roads were too good for them to spend more on we disagreed and have increased our
own contribution to get closer to your expectations.
Much of this focus has been on Rolleston and catching up with its growth. This needs to
continue but in the next three years we need to elevate the focus on other big projects across
the district, including the Lincoln Gerald Street upgrade, the Leeston Library and Community
Building, the Darfield Pool and indoor courts, a new Prebbleton facility and an Arthur’s Pass
to Taumutu cycleway linking our towns and providing activity across our District.

Sam’s Vision
for Selwyn
I want Selwyn to continue to be an awesome place! We have great
natural spaces, a wonderful heritage and an exciting future. I’m often
asked what I will do in the next 3 years for Selwyn if re-elected. We
need to lift our sights out of the election cycle and our own personal
futures, and focus on the type of place we want our grandchildren to
enjoy. Nearly a quarter of Selwyn is under the age of 15.
In the new term of council I want to see greater local influence and more
inclusive processes for shaping our future. Nearly half of our population
didn’t live here 10 years ago. We need all those new thoughts and ideas
to maximise our potential. As your Mayor I will continue to deliver on our
communities aspirations to be the district of opportunities that is safe,
prosperous, inclusive and fun.
Voting documents will be sent
from Friday 16 September

The Home You Deserve!
Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2 Garages: 2
Everyone deserves a place that has that feeling of ‘home’ and
this immaculately kept, spacious four-bedroom home exudes
a sense of welcome from the moment you walk through the
door. Warm and neutrally-toned throughout, the highlight
of the home is the relationship between the living zone and
beautifully manicured outdoors. Vast doors open across one
wall to the courtyard and neatly fenced lawn, offering a secure
and distinctly fabulous space, that will be the perfect spot
to enjoy summer dining, relaxing in the spa or entertaining
friends. The home benefits from a clever layout that separates
the functional end nicely from the restful wing, gifting children
or those who wish to retire early, a peaceful night sleep, while
you host guests in the open plan living. The kitchen is an
entertainer’s delight with large, textured stone bench tops
and large scullery. Particularly lovely is the main bedroom
suite, where a ranch slider to outdoors provides a breezy
quiet space to retire to in the cool of the evening and a walk-in
wardrobe ensures organised weekday mornings. The home is
completed with under tile heating in the tiled bathrooms, pull
down attic storage with 5x5 floor, large separate laundry with
great storage and an internal access, double garage with drive
through. This neat as a pin home will tick every box on your
wish list. Call to arrange your private inspection, or we would
love to see you at our upcoming open homes.

Rolleston 18A Manor Drive
Where peace and quiet reign supreme!
In an area eminently popular with families, this robustly constructed home perfectly blends functionality and comfort
with an abundance of lifestyle options. Inside the home, accommodation is provided by four good-sized bedrooms,
including a master with ensuite and impressive walk-in-robe, and is complemented by a family bathroom. The
thoughtfully configured kitchen/dining/living space enjoys good indoor/outdoor flow, and the convenience of a
separate lounge is an added bonus. Double glazing, a log burner and heat transfer conspire to keep the home cozy
and warm throughout the year, while a separate laundry, abundance of storage, 3-car garaging and an attic enhance
functionality. Located on a private, back section, the 2000+sqm is perfect for families of all shapes and sizes. The
fourteen varieties of fruit trees (apple, pear, fig, peach, cherry, plum, apricot), a berry cage, green house and garden
are sure to inspire those with green thumbs. Of course, the location is sought-after and absolutely superb, with zoning
for the popular Clearview Primary school and the proximity to a bevy of recreational destinations - including the
Selwyn Sports Centre, the Aquatic Centre and Foster Park - making this the total package.

Get your home noticed
It takes more than good photography to help sell a
home. You’ll want your home to look attractive and
appealing for a potential home buyer so check out
these following tips to get your home ready for real
estate photography and open homes...
• First impressions count: Clear away shoes, coats and other items to make your front
entrance look clean and welcoming.
• Create natural light: Open all curtains and/or blinds; turn on lights for open home
days.
• Keep it clean: A clean house and well cared for section will be far more appealing to
a buyer; get rid of cobwebs; shine the taps; polish the windows and doorknobs; wash
and vacuum the floors.
• Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking and living smells to linger – open windows daily,
display a vase of sweet smelling flowers, and if need be an occasional spray with a can
of air freshener. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder what you are trying to
cover up.
• De-clutter every room: This is the most important. Clean counters, tables, coffee
tables and wall units. Clutter really attracts the eye and takes away from the beauty of
the home.
• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all unnecessary items; keep the benches clean and clear;
remove all used tea towels and dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the dining table.
• Bathroom: We all have clutter in the bathroom – toothbrushes, creams, toothpaste
etc. Before the photographer arrives (or potential buyers) put all the clutter into a
small box, which can easily be stored out of sight. Place clean colour co-ordinated
towels, neatly folded, onto the towel rail.
• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated bedcovers and linen; plump up your pillows;
straighten the valance; put all clothing and person items out of sight.
• Office: It’s often hard to keep this room perfectly tidy but try to keep it as orderly as
possible.
• Keep corners free of clutter: This helps make a room look bigger and therefore more
spacious.
• Make your room look bigger: rearrange furniture to create more floor space.
• Add colour: If your house is neutral in colour, try adding small touches of colour with
fresh flowers. Another quick color fix is to use cushions but don’t go overboard. Red
works well against neutral backgrounds as do bright blues and greens. Just remember to
keep it minimal, pick one colour per room, and it will work.
• Move toys out of living areas: Keep them in the rumpus room or the children’s
bedrooms.
• Boxes or small storage units: Stack them in one area or the spare bedroom. Better
not to take a picture of the spare bedroom than have boxes or storage boxes in each
room. Better yet – stack them against one wall and this way the photographer can
avoid that wall when taking the picture.
• Check your cords, cables and wires: Tuck and hide those cords away or simply
unplug them.
• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective buyers don’t want pets leaping at them or they
may be even allergic to pet hair, so keep them out of sight or away for photography
and open home days.
• Clean up your section and garage: Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded, hoses and
wheelbarrow stored out of sight; take excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your
garage to look as spacious and orderly as possible.
Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder
what you are trying to cover up.

Space key to show home’s popularity
If there is one word to describe
the Trident Homes show home it is
spacious – and there’s plenty of it. What
is interesting about this home is that
the team hasn’t gone for neutral décor
– there is plenty of contrasting patterns
and colours which not only make the
house more eye catching but also makes
it feel like a home you could live in.
Practical things like an amazing
amount of storage, the washing line
directly outside the laundry door, the
division between the living and sleeping
areas all add up to make this a home
worth viewing next time you are in
Lanner Drive, Rolleston.
All four bedrooms are at least double
with built-in wardrobes and space
saving sliding doors. The sunny master
features a walk-in robe which opens in
to the ensuite. A separate family toilet
Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
makes life easier for growing families.
Half of the home is taken up by a huge
living/dining/kitchen area with a large
separate lounge that can be closed off
with sliding doors and features a gas fire
for those colder days.

master bedroom.

What can I do if there’s a
problem with my new home?
Buying something as big as a house is a big deal that can
have a serious impact on your family and financial wellbeing.
Real Estate Authority (REA) say this
is why it’s important for buyers to do
as much homework as they can before
buying a property.
We believe it’s much better to spend a
few hundred dollars on an independent
report by an accredited building
inspector than face having to spend
thousands of dollars on fixing any issues
after the fact.
It can be tempting to settle for the easy
option of using a pre-prepared report, but
if you haven’t paid for it yourself you have
no way of ensuring that it’s legitimate
or being able to take action against the
inspector for an inadequate assessment.
If you’re looking to buy, it’s smart to
find out as much as you can about the
property, including getting someone to
help you understand the outcome of any
report on the building or land.
In some cases, issues are noted on
property reports but buyers are in such a
hurry that they miss them.
If a report uncovers an issue, get legal
advice first if you want to negotiate with
the seller on price.
If you end up buying a property and
discover a serious issue that you think the
seller or the real estate agent failed to tell
you about, the first step is to write down
what happened when you bought the
property.
Gather all the relevant documentation,
such as the building report, the LIM and
the sale and purchase agreement.
“If the property was sold by a licensed
real estate agent, make notes of any
conversations you had with them. If
the property was sold privately, make
notes of any dealings with the seller. Add
any new information you have about
the property, such as a building report
or assessment that notes the problems
you’ve found.”
Think too about what your best-case
scenario outcome is: do you want an
apology, compensation, or remediation
(or all three)?
It’s important to get legal advice to fully
understand your options.
A lawyer will advise you on whether
you have a case against the seller and
what your next move should be, based on
the information you’ve gathered.
If appropriate, they can help you
negotiate with the seller or act against
them. Be aware that you may not be in a
very strong position unless you can prove
that the seller or the real estate agent
knowingly covered up the issue.
If it appears that the real estate agent is
responsible in some way, it’s best that you
deal with them directly.
If you can’t resolve things this way,
the REA handles complaints against
licensed real estate agents and we can
also help you understand expectations
on real estate agents regarding disclosure
of property defects. Check out rea.govt.
nz for more information on making
complaints.
