‘A waste of time’ – dairy owner 

after meeting ram-raider 

• By Tina Grumball 

THE OWNER of the 

Prebbleton Dairy targeted 

four times by youth believes a 

family group conference was a 

waste of time. 

The meeting involved one 

of the teens, a 13-year-old, 

his family, Oranga Tamariki, 

police and four other victims, 

including another dairy 

owner. 

Facilitated by Oranga 

Tamariki, youth justice family 

group conferences are 

intended to help youth take 

responsibility and leave them 

with a plan for the future. 

While the victims could 

speak at the meeting, Sangeet 

Mehta said the decision had 

already been made as to what 

would happen with the youth. 

The victim’s views did not 

make a difference.

TARGETED Government 

funding is set to benefit Lincoln 

to the tune of $5.1 million, 

enabling the town’s main street 

upgrade to kick off earlier than 

planned. 

The Lincoln Town Centre Plan 

has been a project in long-term 

planning for the district council 

for about seven years. The funding 

would allow the first stage 

of the project to be brought 

forward one year, to begin in the 

2023/24 financial year. 

Improvements will be along 

the eastern end of Gerald St, 

from West Belt to Kildare Tce, 

including installation of traffic 

signals with pedestrian crossings 

at the intersection with West Belt, 

cycle lanes replacing parallel car 

parks, footpath and streetscape 

upgrades, and intersection and 

drainage improvements. 

The district council will add 

$1.2m of its own funding for 

improvements, including the addition 

of nearby open-space car 

parking, located behind shops 

on Gerald St, between William 

St and Lyttelton St. 

The district council is due to 

receive $5.59 million from the 

first round of the Better Off 

Funding package assigned by the 

Government as part of the Three 

Waters Reform. It has chosen the 

first stage of the Lincoln Town 

Centre Plan as its key project. 

Springs Ward 

district councillor 

Malcolm Lyall 

welcomed the 

allocation and 

the district 

council decision, 

confirmed at its 

meeting last week.

Town Centre Plan) is well

and truly overdue. The people 

of Lincoln have had to wait 

and wait, while we have seen 

development happening around 

the district. The three ward 

councillors have been fighting 

for funding in this area, I’m 

overjoyed we are getting this 

going,” Lyall said. 

He said the district council 

could also bring forward the 

following stages, of extending 

improvements along Gerald St 

and more car parking, as it went 

through its long-term planning 

process. 

Lyall said the district council 

had responded to public concern 

earlier in the planning process 

about losing parallel parks to the 

cycle lanes, by purchasing series 

of sections for car parking. 

He said the improvements 

would make the town centre 

safer for pedestrians and cyclists. 

Chief executive David Ward 

commented on climate change 

considerations in his report to 

district councillors for the meeting. 

“The Lincoln town centre upgrade 

supports improved mode 

choice and low emissions travel 

through the provision of safe, 

accessible and enjoyable walking 

and cycling options within the 

town centre,” Ward said. 

The district council plans to 

use the remainder of the $5.59m 

Better Off Funding package for 

feasibility studies for a Leeston 

health facility and enhancing 

the scope of the Arthur’s Pass to 

Te Waihora Cycle Trail, along 

with supporting mana whenua 

governance participation in 

district council subcommittees 

in future. 

A second round of Better 

Off funding will be released 

to district councils around the 

country in 2024.

PAK ’N SAVE is set to come 

to Rolleston, after a hearing 

commissioner has issued a 

decision to grant an application 

by Foodstuffs. 

The grocery giant plans to build 

the supermarket at 157 Levi Rd, 

where it will include parking for 

500 vehicles and five new vehicle 

access points, and employment 

for up to 260 staff. 

About 50 submissions were 

received for the resource consent 

application. While supporters 

were looking forward to cheaper 

groceries and more competition 

in the town, objectors were concerned 

about an increase in traffic 

congestion, noise from heavy 

vehicles and the supermarket’s 

mechanical services plant and car 

park, visual effects from signage, 

light spill from external lighting, 

and adverse effects from earthworks 

during construction. 

District council group manager 

growth and development Tim 

Harris said the decision was 

subject to conditions around construction 

and operation, ensuring 

minimum disruption to neighbours 

and to address concerns 

raised in submissions. 

An appeal period is now open

Bledisloe Cup just the medicine 

• By Barry Clarke 

IT CONTAINS 48 stubbies 

and it was filled four times – 

deservedly – after the All Blacks 

breathtaking win over Australia 

in Melbourne. 

And now the time-honoured 

Bledisloe Cup has been toasted 

by rugby and sports fans in 

Lincoln. 

The cup had pride of place 

in the Selwyn Community 

Pharmacy last week. News of its 

temporary home spread quickly 

around the township. 

“It’s been unbelievable,” 

pharmacist Dave Wyatt told the 

Selwyn Times. 

“There’s disbelief that it’s actually 

the genuine Bledisloe Cup. 

It’s not a fake or a look-a-like. 

The size of it . . . I can’t believe 

how big it is.” 

So how did the cup get 

from Melbourne after the 

All Blacks nail-biting 

controversial 39-37 win, and the 

40-14 thumping of the Aussies 

at Eden Park on Saturday, to 

Lincoln? 

Over a couple of beers. 

Wyatt is a neighbour of Jason 

Ryan, one of the All Blacks assistant 

coaches. They both live in 

Lincoln. 

When the All Blacks 

had returned to their respective 

parts of the country, Ryan 

and Wyatt caught up for a 

beer. 

Said Wyatt: “Jase texted me 

and said ‘pop over for a beer’. 

Jase cracked open a beer and we 

went through to the next room 

and there’s the Bledisloe Cup! I 

thought: ‘Jeepers, how good is 

that’.” 

Wyatt was told the cup can 

take 48 stubbies and during 

the post match celebrations in

So when the pharmacy re-opened 

last Tuesday after Monday’s public 

holiday, the Bledisloe Cup was put 

into a protective crate, put on to the 

flat deck of a vehicle and driven to the 

pharmacy. 

“We’ve had so many people 

coming in, grandparents with their 

grandkids. It’s been just amazing,” 

said Wyatt. 

Wyatt and his staff are big rugby 

supporters. Crusaders and All Blacks 

flags take pride of place whenever 

big games are on, and staff wore their 

rugby attire when the Bledisloe was 

on display. 

The cup has returned to Ryan’s

He was also left wondering 

what police were waiting for as 

the teen had about 44 charges. 

“Still our law and order says 

we have to give him a chance to 

be a better person. Within six 

months, 44 crimes he (committed), 

so why are you waiting for 

the 45th?” 

Mehta had a simple answer: 

“If you do the crime, you need to 

face it and that’s what I told the 

boy.” 

The youths would not stop 

while they believed “no one can 

touch (them),” Mehta said. 

Mehta’s business had been 

ram-raided three times and had 

been the target of an armed robbery. 

The robbery happened in late 

August when teenagers – the 

youngest who has been identified 

as 10 – burst into the shop armed 

with a spanner at about 7pm one 

evening. 

They tried to strike his wife but 

she avoided the blows by pushing 

a Covid screen at the offenders. 

Their toddler was in the back of 

the shop and Mehta was visiting 

a patient at Christchurch Hospital 

at the time. 

When Mehta asked for a trespass 

notice for the four offenders 

police had identified, he was told 

the notices had been given. 

But when he asked for photographs 

of the boys so he would 

know who to stop, police would 

not give them to him. 

The offenders had been wearing 

masks and hoods, he said. 

How would his wife know who 

they were if they walked into 

their shop again? 

He asked the boy at the conference 

why he did it. The teen 

replied he did it for fun and for 

social media videos. 

‘If you do the crime, you 

need to face it and that’s 

what I told the boy.’ 

– Sangeet Mehta 

Mehta said he would not be 

waiting for an email regarding 

the outcome as he honestly believed 

nothing would happen. 

He also wondered who was 

helping business owners hit by 

ram-raiders. He had to fix the 

door and the wall, and install a 

steel gate and bollards. He had to 

pull back his open hours because 

of safety concerns. 

“I’m losing my business. Who 

is it affecting? Me. Why? Because 


Offenders as young as 

10 involved in robbery

Dairy. 

of youth, and we’re still thinking 

about ‘oh, we should have to give 

him another chance to become a 

nicer person’.” 

Mehta queried why he should 

have to pay insurance excess and 

fix everything when he was the 

victim. 

He said all of the dairy owners 

around him who had been hit 

were tired of being left to pick 

up the pieces without more help 

from the Government or action 

from the police. 

When asked if he was still 

intending to sell his business, 

Mehta noted that “millions of 

dairies want to sell but no one 

will buy”. 

“If I know your car is going to 

break down next year, is anyone 

going to buy?” he said. 

Anglers out 

CANTERBURY anglers were out 

in force on Saturday to fish the 

first day of the new season. 

October 1 is always the start 

of the new season, and this year 

it fell on a Saturday and was 

also the first day of the school 

holidays. 

This made opening day in the 

region a popular family affair in 

many instances. 

Fish & Game New Zealand 

rangers were out checking 

compliance and reported a lot of 

anglers from the top of the Lewis 

Pass all the way down to the 

Waitaki River. 

The weather was great for fishing, 

frosty but clear, throughout 

the region and many anglers travelled 

hours to fish their favourite 

spots. 

Canterbury angler Neil Goldie 

braved the early morning frost 

to fish the Waimakariri River 

mouth. 

Trying first for a sea-run 

salmon, Goldie said: “It’s a 

little bit early for a salmon, but 

with warmer temperatures at 

sea in summer, there’s a chance 

of a salmon taking advantage of 

the cooler waters now to make a 

run.

Ensuring Safer Water – 

Chlorination Upgrades 2022 

New Zealand’s drinking water laws have changed. 

Under the Water Services Act 2021, councils must chlorinate public 

drinking water supplies by 15 November 2022. Selwyn District Council has 

started applying for exemptions for its previously unchlorinated supplies 

and is expecting feedback on these applications from Taumata Arowai in 

early 2023. 

If you’re on a water supply that isn’t currently chlorinated, we will be 

installing chlorination in order to comply with the law as per the 

below timetable.

in force on opening day 

“With it being the second year 

of the sea-run salmon season bag 

limit and the harvest card, you 

have to selectively harvest your 

salmon, so fishing in cooler waters 

will be great for the fish if you 

need to release it. 

“The sea-run salmon fishery has 

moved to more of a sports fishery 

than a harvest fishery as anglers 

do their bit to help the recovery of 

the fishery,” Goldie said. 

Trout anglers in the Te Waihora/Lake 

Ellesmere area were out 

in numbers. 

The scenic Harts Creek was 

popular as the day progressed, 

with many anglers trying to tempt 

the elusive fish inhabiting the 

creek. 

With Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere 

open to the sea at the moment, 

the Halswell, L2, Selwyn 

Rivers and Harts Creek were enticing 

for many sea-run trout that 

have entered the lake, making the 

area a popular spot for anglers. 

Central South Island Fish & 

Game officer Nicola Dellaway 

spent her first day on the job with 

colleagues checking licences on 

Lake Opuha, South Canterbury. 

Forty anglers were checked, 

mostly boat anglers but a few 

shore-based. This was a typical 

number for this popular opening 

day destination, with many travelling 

from as far as Dunedin and 

Christchurch. 

The fishing was excellent, with 

most anglers catching two or 

three brown or rainbow trout for 

the dinner table. 

Below State Highway 1 at 

the Opihi River, father and son 

anglers, Stephen and Alfie Henly, 

went out on an opening day mission. 

In spite of the frosty start, they 

both had luck, catching and 

releasing some trout caught on 

soft-bait lures. 

Jet boat-based fishing is a 

tradition on the Waitaki River 

for opening, and there were at 

least 18 boats on the river in the 

morning. Shore-based anglers 

near Kurow were also successful – 

mainly on rainbow trout around 

700gm.

ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY 

HEALTHY WATER 

HEALTHY PEOPLE 

Water is the single issue on which I stand. 

Having attended several “meet the candidate” events which included 

both District and Regional Council candidates, it is clear a majority of 

those attending are concerned about the state of our freshwater. 

Environment Canterbury (Ecan), the Canterbury Regional Council, has 

accountabilities to maintain or enhance the quantity and quality of 

Canterbury’s freshwater, aquatic ecosystems, and coastal waters. 

District Councils are responsible for ensuring community water 

supplies are safe. District Councils are firmly in the sights of the Three 

Waters Bill and the chlorination mandate following the failure of 

the Ministry of Health and Hastings District Council to protect 14,000 

residents of Havelock North from death and illness due to waterborne 

disease. 

If Ecan were effective in protecting Canterbury’s freshwater at source, 

chlorination and the Three Waters Bill would be less of an issue. 

Unfortunately previous Governments have long failed to give 

direction to Ecan. Worse from 2010 until the end of 2019 the 

Government appointed its own commissioners to take control of 

Ecan to facilitate massive irrigation development in response to 

the 2008 recession. This irrigation development paid little heed to 

the environmental consequences for our iconic braided rivers and 

groundwater sourced lowland rivers and streams. 

Rural residents limited to drinking from private wells are left to meet 

the high cost of removing the pathogens and nitrate that is leaching 

into our shallow aquifers due to diffuse pollution from intensive 

farming systems, especially dairying. 

If action is not taken soon to prevent contamination of the deeper 

semi-confined aquifer layers, community water supplies will be 

similarly affected. This has already 

occurred with community water 

supplies at the South Rangitata Huts 

and with the Morven water supply. 

For as long as Ecan has a majority 

on the council whose wealth is linked 

to irrigation and the right to diffusely 

pollute our groundwater, “democratic 

reality” will ensure the status quo 

remains. 

As a fifth generation New Zealander, angler, and rural veterinarian for 

48 years, I have witnessed the massive degradation of our rivers first 

hand. I am asking ratepayers from the towns within the Selwyn and 

Ashburton ward to consider voting for the sake of future generations 

rather than the short term economic benefits of Ecan’s unsustainable 

water management plan. 

Ecan has spent $NZ 60 million on its LWRP based on what farmers are 

prepared to accommodate rather than environmentally sustainable 

limits for nitrate pollution and environmentally sustainable residual 

flows for our rivers and streams. Recent Government guidelines 

will require an additional $30 million to update the plan to new 

standards. Let us take the time and care to get it right this time rather 

than set limits that accommodate short term unsustainable farming 

practices. 

Swimmable rivers and pure drinking water are priceless.

arlan Ness themed 

$12,999 

A FUNDRAISER for popular 

Motukurara harness racing 

owner-trainer Murray 

Edmonds has been labelled 

a massive, and at times 

emotional, success. 

More 

than 300 

people were 

involved in 

the sell-out 

dinner at 

the Silks at 

Addington 

Raceway on 

Murray 

Edmonds 


Huge support for popular trainer 

September 

22, with 

thousands 

of dollars also raised through 

raffles and more than 50 auctions. 

The function was organised 

by Stevie Golding, Sandi 

Curtin and Murray’s niece 

Aimee Edmonds, after the recent 

news that Edmonds had 

been diagnosed with a brain 

tumour. 

Edmonds was at the function 

along with family and 

friends from all over the 

country. Clearly touched by 

the occasion he described the 

night as “pretty unreal”. 

“We are just over the 

moon,” said Golding, who 

also emceed the night. “Everyone 

enjoyed themselves, 

and there were so many kind 

words.” 

GOOD CAUSE: This Dexter Dunn racing suit was auctioned off at the sell-out 

fundraiser for Murray Edmonds at Addington Raceway. 

While it was emotional and 

heartfelt at times it also had its 

raucous moments, none more 

so than when it looked like 

one of the Edmonds-trained 

runners was going to win 

race 5. 

Watching Our Coin was 

ahead with 100 to go, only 

to be beaten on the line by 

Rakanotta. 

“Man – everyone was yelling 

at the top of their lungs. 

I’ve never been in a louder 

room during a horse race, it 

was unreal. 

“It was just a fantastic 

night,” said Curtin. 

“The number of items that 

were donated by people, some 

of them didn’t even know 

Muzz, but they could see it 

was such a good cause.” 

One example of that 

generosity came just hours 

before the function. Golding 

was picking up some items 

when he met up with Gary 

Roberts from Sulky Wheels in 

Templeton. On hearing what 

Golding was up to Roberts 

donated a work sulky. It sold 

for $2800. 

Other popular items included 

a signed Kiwis Anzac 

rugby league jersey that sold 

for $2400, a signed Dexter 

Dunn racing suit ($2300), a 

Marcoola service fee ($2100), 

and an old Phar Lap photo 

($2200). 

An offer by Robbie and 

Carla Holmes to break in a 

yearling was also sought after, 

going for $2300. 

Some items raised a few 

laughs, including a fishing 

trip with Golding himself that 

went for $2000 (bought by 

David Butt) and Mark Purdon 

buying a case of pinot noir 

donated by brother Barry for 

$2000. 

A final tally up for the night 

is still a few days away – but 

the night achieved all it set out 

to do, and more. 

“We can’t thank everyone 

enough, the people at 

Addington and everyone who 

was involved,” said Golding, 

“it was amazing.”

Rising costs 

see businesses 

put up prices 


MANY SELWYN businesses are 

raising their prices to customers 

in the face of increasing costs. 

Impacts of rising costs 

nationally and internationally 

were shown up starkly in results 

from the recent six-monthly 

Selwyn Business Survey, 

organised by the district council. 

It was undertaken in August, 

and 107 businesses responded. 

Eighty-four per cent reported 

increased costs. In line with this, 

44 per cent of businesses said 

they had increased prices in the 

past six months, and similar 

numbers expected to increase 

prices again in the coming 

months. 

Business investment in Selwyn 

was lower over the past six 

months, with six per cent of 

businesses investing, compared 

to 15 per cent in the previous six 

months. 

There were 21 per cent of 

businesses that reported reduced 

profits over the previous six 

months, while 11 per cent 

reported falling sales and four 

per cent reduced staff. 

At the same time, 18 per cent 

of businesses were expecting 

their profits to increase over the 

next six months, 18 per cent were 

expecting to increase investment 

in the next six months, and 11 

per cent were intending to hire 

new staff. 

District council group 

manager community services 

and facilities Denise Kidd said it 

was good to see businesses had 

a positive outlook in spite of the 

economic challenges. 

“It’s particularly pleasing to 

see businesses reporting that 

they’re planning to hire and 

invest over next six months. It 

shows the underlying strength of 

the Selwyn economy that even in 

tougher times our businesses are 

generally holding up well,” Kidd 

said. 

Selwyn Printing Company 

owner Derek Smith said he was 

increasing prices where possible 

in response to rising costs, but 

had lost clients doing this. 

Figuring out the formula 

Five-year-old Arlo Stinson of Lincoln feeds kunekune piglet Spot at Lincoln University’s 

annual community day last week, assisted by Brooke Kenyon. About 2000 people attended. 

“In the print industry, it’s quite 

competitive in the high value 

jobs,” Smith said. 

The last six months had been 

“unbelievably tough”. 

As well as increasing costs, 

about 20 per cent of his staff had 

been away sick on any given day 

since May. Levels of illness with 

winter bugs and other ailments 

was still high in the wake of 

Covid. 

The company had 12 staff 

across three offices, at Lincoln, 

Rolleston and Christchurch, and 

was advertising for more. 

Nevertheless, he generally had 

good business confidence and 

was optimistic about the future. 

“The economy seems to have 

held better than what I was 

expecting,” he said. “The demand 

is there at the moment, we are 

just struggling to fulfil it.” 

Power poles 

check-up 

We’ve started our routine, power poles 

inspection programme across the 

Banks Peninsula area. 

We are proactively checking 4,500 power 

poles throughout Akaroa, Lincoln and 

Springston. The inspection is underway 

and will be carried out over the next few 

months, wrapping up in January 2023. 

Where poles need to be replaced, power 

outages may be necessary to carry out 

the work safely. In those cases, we will let 

the affected people know ahead of time. 

If we need to access private property to 

inspect power poles, Orion will contact 

landowners. 

Thank you for your understanding as 

we ensure we continue to deliver a safe, 

reliable and resilient network. 

If you have any questions, please do not 

hesitate to contact our Customer Support 

team. Additional information can be

FUDGE CAKES, caramel slices, 

Belgian slices and hot fluffy 

scones. 

This enticing array, and more, 

is set to cover the kitchen bench 

at the Leeston home of Wilma 

Grant, as she prepares to enter 

the Ellesmere A&P Association’s 

Selwyn Spring Show. 

The show is returning to its full 

glory this year. The 150th jubilee 

show was canned in 2020 due to 

the pandemic, while the postponed 

150th jubilee show was 

held with restricted classes and 

for exhibitors only last year. 

“It’s good to get back into it,” 

Wilma said. 

After about 30 years of entering 

the home industries sections 

of cooking, knitting and cut 

flowers, she had missed these 

when they were not held for the 

last two years. 

Wilma, 73, said in earlier years 

she could have 20 or so entries. 

She had won dozens of prize 

cards and prizes, and claimed 

many trophies, over the years. 

Among her highlights was receiving 

a medal at the royal show 

of 2008. 

Her family had four generations 

of entering the show. Her 

mother Joyce Hillyer entered 

once with a chocolate cake, while 

her three children and grandchildren 

entered many a category as 

youngsters. 

This year Wilma had about 10 

entries in baking and knitting, 

and would be entering cut flowers 

closer to the day. She said the busy 

week leading up to the event would 

all be worth it come show day. 


Full steam ahead for 

Selwyn Spring Show 

FAMILY TIME: Wilma Grant is looking forward to getting 

her creations back in the home industries shed at Selwyn 

Spring Show. 

“It’s a great family time, to be 

out and about and meet different 

friends,” Wilma said. 

“And I just love to see other 

people’s work, it’s always interesting 

to see what other people can 

make and do.” 

The Selwyn Spring Show 

will be held on October 15 at 

Ellesmere Showgrounds. 

THE DISTRICT council and 

the Hororata Community Trust 

have signed a memorandum 

of understanding around the 

creation of a community hub in 

the township. 

Mayor Sam Broughton 

signed the memorandum 

last week confirming 

the district council will 

transfer the Hororata 

Community Hall and 

surrounding endowment 

land to the trust, along 

with a $1 million grant to 

support the trust building 

a new community 

hub. 

The memorandum underlines 

that the district council and the 

trust will work together and 

are committed to an ongoing 

partnership in relation to 

achieving positive outcomes 

for the Hororata community. 

It commits to beginning work 

on the new hub within the next 

four years. 

Said district council chief 

executive David Ward: “The district 

council has been working 

with the Hororata community

community hub 

one step closer 

and the trust for a number of

is an important stage in 

that process. 

“The district council 

is excited to have this 

agreement in place and 

confirm its support for 

the trust to get the community 

facility built. A 

lot of hard work has gone 

into this from all sides to 

ensure Hororata receives 

a facility that meets 

David Ward its needs now and into 

the future, and this is a 

positive step towards seeing that 

completed.” 

Said trustee Richard Lang: 

“It was an important day for 

the trust. The trust and the 

Go Hororata committee are 

pleased to have reached an 

agreement with the council 

and to be moving forward with 

this project. We are looking 

forward to developing a vibrant

Elaine takes top award 

ELLESMERE TENNIS Sub 

Association member Elaine 

Rodley has been recognised in 

Tennis Canterbury’s annual 

awards. 

Rodley was named 

Administrator of the Year 

for the 2021/2022 season, 

in acknowledgement of her 

multiple roles at the sub 

association, where she has been 

involved for more than 14 years. 

Treasurer Tracy Henderson 

said the award was well 

deserved. Rodley was the sub 

association’s statistician for 

both the senior and junior interclub. 

Her integral knowledge 

of Tennis New Zealand Match 

Hub software meant she had 

been able to quickly manoeuvre 

draws throughout the pandemic, 

ensuring a full season for 

players. 

In addition, she was an 

active and valued member of 

the Ellesmere management 

committee, competitions 

committee, and junior advisory 

committee, where she supported 

all clubs ensuring players were 

involved in games each week 

and at tournaments. 

“In her spare time she updates 

the Ellesmere senior, junior 

websites and Facebook as part 

of a team. She also plays a lot of 

tennis!” 

ADMINISTRATOR OF THE YEAR: Ellesmere Tennis Sub 

Association president Belinda Edmond (left) congratulates 

Elaine Rodley on her award. 

Relationship to form 

between council and 

Te Taumutu Rūnanga 

THE DISTRICT council and Te 

Taumutu Rūnanga will sign a 

formal relationship agreement 

next month. 

At its fortnightly meeting last 

week, the district council voted 

to sign the agreement between 

itself and Te Taumutu Rūnanga, 

following on from long-running 

discussions. 

The agreement encourages 

continuing strong relationships, 

while acknowledging the 

commitments of both to work 

together and grow a new age of 

local government, reflecting the 

role of mana whenua as a treaty 

partner of the Crown. 

District council chief 

executive David Ward said the 

document was a stepping stone 

on the journey of relationship 

between the district council 

and mana whenua. It was 

intended to be the first of potentially 

a number of similar agreements 

with mana whenua and 

tangata whenua for Waikirikiri/ 

Selwyn. 

“This is something we’ve been 

working on for a while and it 

will be a special day to finalise 

a lot of hard work when we sign 

this document. It will also be 

special to move to the next stage, 

developing the opportunities 

that exist for us to work in partnership 

for Waikirikiri/Selwyn,” 

Ward said. 

It would be an enabling 

document which recognised the 

role and responsibilities of both 

rūnanga and the district council 

across the district.

association needing to service 

a $1 million loan from the city 

council. 

The 10-year loan was provided 

to the organisers of the NZ 

Agricultural Show following the 

Covid lockdowns and the effects 

on income with no spectators for 

the last two NZ shows. 

Show general manager Tracy 

Ahern said the three-year 

deal with Cassels Brewery is 

crucial for the future of the 

association. 

“Without the support, we 

would be struggling to meet our 

key performance indicators to 

pay back our loan that we owe to 

the council,” said Ahern. 

“We are very excited to have 

them on board . . . a local iconic 

brand like our own.” 

Cassels Brewery will feature 

prominently at the show, the 

biggest week of the year in 

Christchurch, from November 

9-11. 

“They will be on our members’ 

marquee . . . on our corporate 

hosting and they are bringing 

their Cassels bus along, which 

will be exciting,” said Ahern. 

There will also be the Cassels 

Baabaa bar and evening 

entertainment for the first time 

at the show, from Tuesday to 

Friday night. 

“We have got TikiTane, lots of 

bands and music, mechanical 

bull, paint by numbers,” said 

Ahern. 

There will also be a BBQ 

competition. 

While Ahern won’t reveal how 

much the sponsorship deal is 

worth for commercial reasons, 

she says it is “significant”. 

“We can’t rely on one week of 

income a year. 

“Our challenge is to put 

Canterbury A&P Association 

and the show in a far sounder 

financial position by forming 

new relationships with 

businesses that share our vision.” 

Cassels Brewery chief 

executive Marshall Moir says 

they are thrilled to support 

CAPA and to help bring the A&P 

show back to the community. 

“As a family-owned 

Christchurch business, we’re 

really excited by the plans the 

show team have for this year. 

The focus on local, quality and 

craftsmanship are the values that 

are most important to us,” said 

Moir. 

It was only six months ago 

Cassels Brewery lost its company 

founder and developer Alasdair 

Cassels. 

The 71-year-old died in April. 

Cassels is well known for his 

investment in the brewery after 

the 2011 earthquake and after 

100 days their structurally sound 

but broken brewery was reborn 

to include a bar, café, music 

venue and restaurant.

Rolleston’s Rotary centenary a glam affair 

THE ROARING twenties came to 

Rolleston on Saturday night, as Rolleston 

Rotary Club celebrated 100 years of 

Rotary in New Zealand at a glamorous 

ball. 

The Gatsby Ball was held at Rolleston 

College’s auditorium, which was transformed 

complete with dance floor, round 

tables, and music from 10-piece band 

Sound Sensation. 

President David Lewes was happy with 

the high turnout of about 220 guests to 

the event, which had been postponed 

from last year. 

“What was remarkable was seeing the 

young demographic of those in attendance, 

enjoying a fantastic night out, all in 

the name of showcasing an organisation 

that unites individuals and sees people 

creating lasting change within their communities,” 

Lewes said. 

He said he and fellow ball goers had 

been in awe of the skill of a group of 

Rolleston College senior hospitality students, 

who catered for the evening. 

Funds raised would be distributed back 

into the community through various 

initiatives and projects. 

ROARING TWENTIES: Feathers, furs and finery were out in force at the

Inaugural festival celebrates all 

• By Geoff Sloan 

A DREAM became reality as 

dancers jived and jitterbugged their 

way around the dance floor at the 

inaugural Vintage Fest NZ, held at 

the Lincoln Event Centre over the 

long weekend. 

The brand new event was the 

brainchild of Rolleston’s Sharvelle 

Mackay, a long-time fan of all 

things vintage. 

“This was an opportunity to put 

the love of vintage into one place 

and make a really prestigious event 

for all of our vintage lovers,” she 

said. 

The festival showcased everything 

vintage, with the theme of wartime 

and the victory era. Classic car and 

military vehicles were on display, 

along with vintage stall-holders and 

a best dressed pageant. 

Mackay said she worked with 

her fellow committee members 

for a year-and-a-half to create the 

community event, but admits to a 

few sleepless nights. 

“It costs a lot of money to put on 

an event like this, and to have the 

money up front, to be able to pay 

for certain things has been quite 

difficult. So that has definitely been 

our biggest challenge”. 

Any proceeds will be reinvested 

back into next year’s event, which 

she hints might have an ‘old 

Hollywood’ theme.

Harry happy to be back horse riding 

• By Natalie Pham 

SIX YEARS ago, Harry 

Priestley got frustrated and 

walked away from his horse 

riding programme. 

However, the 11-year-old has 

marked his second participation 

in a dressage event at the 

Christchurch equestrian centre 

in late September. 

Harry was among 10 riders 

of varying ages and disabilities 

taking part in the event organised 

by Christchurch Riding for 

the Disabled. 

Because the event focused on 

the rider achieving the goal of 

completing the test and getting 

marked on the completion, each 

participant received a certificate 

and a score sheet. 

Said CHCHRDA president 

Philippa Parker: “We make it as 

fun and relaxed as possible.” 

All participants have been 

attending weekly sessions prior 

to the event, with each session 

tailoring to their specific needs 

and personal goals. 

Harry was diagnosed with 

autism when he was three. 

Said his mother Rachel: “For 

Harry and the way that his 

brain works, it’s about what 

Harry wants and what Harry 

needs. But as humans, we need 

to learn how to work with other 

people.” 

Harry is enrolled in two 

programmes – education and 

sport and recreation, where he 

gets to learn about horse riding 

and challenges himself with 

exercises require teamwork. 

“Everyone has helped me in 

all different ways,” he said. 

“I used to get really, really angry 

but now I don’t get angry at 

all. Well, I’m better at managing 

my anger than I used to.” 

The organisation also offers a 

therapy programme for riders 

who have higher support needs, 

ranging from building muscle 

strength to improving walking 

ability. 

Harry began the riding sessions 

with New Zealand Riding 

for the Disabled at five-yearsold. 

However, his sessions have 

been on and off due to high 

demands. 

Like many riders, he started 

with a small pony and worked 

his way up. After many years, he 

is finally paired with Zeus – a 

‘big and tall’ horse. 

When Harry first walked in 

with his new horse, Parker said 

he looked proud of himself. 

“Zeus challenges Harry to 

work with it. That horse can 

be independent if it wants to, 

so Harry has to make sure that 

the horse is listening to the 

instruction.” 

GOAL: Harry 

Priestley marked 

his second 

participation in a 

dressage event at 

Christchurch Riding 

for the Disabled 

in September. He 

was proud when he 

finally got paired up 

with his new horse 

Zeus (left).

Term 3 Update 

Principal’s Message 

What a busy term it has been! 

Term three has seen learners participating 

in a wide variety of activities including 

Exhibition Night, Rolleston X Factor, 

Tournament Week and the Senior Film 

Festival. 

Our Yr 10 learners have been busy piloting 

the Literacy and Numeracy exams. The 

idea of a pilot is to provide data, give 

feedback and to iron out issues and make 

modifications. The school’s participation 

contributes valuable feedback to the 

Ministry of Education and NZQA to ensure 

that exams are pitched at the correct level 

before they are launched nationwide. 

Senior learners have been busy with mock 

exams which provide an opportunity to 

practice under exam conditions for the 

NCEA exams in 

November and 

we have been 

impressed 

by the efforts 

of our senior 

learners in 

their approach 

to these exams. 

Progress continues 

both on the extension to the current 

campus and on the new campus and 

we are planning to hold another series 

of meetings in term 4 to present back 

on progress made. There are certainly 

some very exciting things on the horizon 

that we look forward to sharing with our 

community in term 4.

debating and a “chase” styled 

quiz. The students took it out 

3 - 2 with wins in all 3 sports 

while the Police won both the 

quiz and the debate. A massive 

thanks to Officer Glenn 

Dawson who helped organise 

the event with school.

AN EVENT showcasing 

British-made cars has been 

held to commemorate the 

reign of Queen Elizabeth 

II. 

The line-up included a 

1981 Ford Cortina 2.0L 

owned by West Melton’s 

Zac Haywood. 

The car was purchased 

new by Haywood’s greatgrandfather, 

Aleck Blank, 

of Yaldhurst, and restored 

by Haywood after it had 

been left unused, parked in 

a shed for years. 

The display was organised 

by Trevor Stanley- 

Joblin, of Amberley, and 

it was held at his Spring 

Classic Car gathering at 

Leithfield’s Better Half 

Kitchen and Bar. 

‘‘It was a special, one-off 

event, to commemorate 

the Queen,’’ Trevor says. 

‘‘I asked drivers of 

all British vehicles, 

irrespective of being classic 

or not, to attend. We had 

106 classic cars in total and 

around 50 of those were 

British,’’ 

The show also included 

two Triumphs owned by 

a Christchurch father and 

son. 

Yanni Woods had his 

Triumph 1973 GT6 Mk3 

on show, while his son,

Now’s the time to PowerUp your career 

ŌTAUTAHI businesses are 

facing a major skills shortage. 

Border closures plus strong 

economic growth has meant a 

record number of jobs advertised 

online – up 33 per cent over the 

last year. 

Approximately 20,000 women 

are either underemployed or 

underutilised in the workforce, 

a statistic that kickstarted 

ChristchurchNZ’s PowerUp 

initiative to support more 

women into work. 

PowerUp is centred 

around an information hub 

at powerupyourcareer.co.nz 

and is focussed on supporting 

Canterbury women into 

work and arming them with 

knowledge and tools to make 

informed choices about their 

career path. It also offers 

support to local employers 

through a pilot series of 

workshops around diversity, 

equity and inclusion. 

It is fronted by four 

Christchurch women who share 

relatable, inspiring stories about 

overcoming challenges in their 

careers. 

For Dale Jackson, low 

confidence and an overwhelming 

job hunt held her back after 

redundancy and, with support 

from a career coach, she had 

to work hard to rediscover her 

value. 

“My career coach changed my 

life. She got my confidence to

Ceryse Scott agrees that a 

regionalised information hub 

would’ve been the perfect place 

for her. After losing her job due 

to Covid, she spent a long time 

searching for inspiration and the 

right job. 

Now settled in her role as a 

case manager for the Ministry 

of Social Development, Ceryse 

credits support networks that 

gave her insights into people and 

diverse groups and built on her 

passion for community work. 

Through these Ceryse developed 

a portfolio of transferable skills. 

Gazelle Lowcay and Angela 

Godenho complete the group of 

four and have powerful messages 

for women looking for work or 

thinking about changing career 

direction. 

Gazelle, a migrant from the 

Philippines, retrained in IT after 

eight years as a nurse and now 

works as a software developer 

for Jade Software. Gazelle says 

it’s a really supportive work 

environment for women and she 

feels empowered. 

Mother of three Angela was 

apprehensive about returning 

to work and assumed a work/ 

life balance wasn’t on the cards. 

But her employer, Warren and 

Mahoney, have embraced her 

part-time hours and Angela says 

workplaces are becoming more 

family friendly. 

“Mums probably get more done 

in a day than many get done in 

three. We’re really driven and 

that’s becoming more valued and 

appreciated. You just have to back 

yourself, women are prone to 

imposter syndrome so it’s really 

important to get the right support 

and information to help get back 

on your feet,” Angela said.

to community wellbeing, bring communities together and attract 

visitors to the district. Applications for the second round of funding 

are open until Monday 31 October. 

Since establishing in 2018, the fund has supported a range of 

sports, arts and music events, groups or activities that benefit 

the district. 

Rolleston Brass, a community-based band, is one of these groups. 

Last few days – get your 

votes in and have your say 

Voters in Selwyn’s local elections have just a few days left to get their votes in. 

The deadline for voting is 12 midday this Saturday, 8 October – and all votes must be in the 

Council’s hands by then to be counted. 

The best option this week is to drop voting papers into a Council ballot box. These are 

available all week at the Council’s Rolleston offices, libraries and most Council facilities, right 

up to 12 midday on Saturday. 

Anyone who hasn’t received voting papers, or who has moved since they last enrolled, can 

apply for a special vote by contacting the Council on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or email 

electoral.officer@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Voters can also apply for a special vote at the Council offices, Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln 

libraries, and at Te Ara Ātea, during open hours. 

“There’s still time to vote, and we’re hoping to see more people getting their votes in over the 

next few days to have their say,” says deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill. 

“Voting is an important way residents can help shape Selwyn’s future. The people you vote 

for have a major say on how local services are planned and funded, and where the district’s 

priorities should be over the coming three years.” 

Initial results for the Selwyn elections are expected to be available on the Council website 

from mid-afternoon on Saturday, 8 October. 

For more details on the elections, including candidate profiles and special voting information, 

visit our elections pages at selwyn.govt.nz/elections. 

Band Manager Leigh Martin says the fund made it possible to hire a 

space at Rolleston School for the group’s weekly rehearsals. 

“We try to offer music at a reasonable cost for people, so the grant 

was really helpful in covering our room hire. 

“We were quite fortunate to get into the Rolleston School. Many of 

our players are based in Rolleston, so it’s a perfect location for us.” 

Since establishing two years ago, Rolleston Brass has grown 

significantly, welcoming all ages to play and compete in 

competitions. The band has already competed in three competitions 

around the country, and also perform locally. 

“Being able to grow and provide something like this in our 

district is very satisfying,” Leigh says. “The Council has been 

really supportive.”

Selwyn’s diversity celebrated at CultureFest 

The tastes, music, dance and customs of Selwyn’s many cultures came together in a wonderful 

CultureFest celebration last month from 10-25 September. 

The festivities kicked off with an exciting day of 

performances, food and activities at Lincoln Domain on 

Sunday 11 September. A crowd of 3,000 festival-goers was 

treated to an array of delicious food stalls, and 12 ‘have a go’ 

activities including Brazilian Jujitsu, Latin fire dance, Muay 

Thai kick boxing, and traditional Filipino street games. On 

the main stage, Polish folk dancing, kapa haka, West African 

drumming and a Bangladesh fashion show were some of 

the 21 performances to entertain the crowds. 

The festivities continued over the two weeks with 26 

activities and events held around the district. 

A Women’s Only night at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre was 

a big hit, as around 100 women came to learn about water 

safety and participate in an aqua fitness class. 

Twenty-six people sharpened their culinary skills at an 

Austrian sauerkraut and bratwurst workshop. Scottish 

dance, an intro to Bollywood dancing, Budo skills, a 

volunteer planting day, and an exhibition on immigrant journeys to Aotearoa were among the 

many other activities residents and visitors enjoyed across the festival. 

Group Manager Community Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says there was a real sense of 

pride and community across the festival. 

“It was wonderful to see people being so eager and excited to share their culture and customs 

with each other. They were really leading the experiences and offering a variety of ways for 

people to enjoy their cultures, which I think enhanced the festival even more. Thank you to all of 

the groups and contributors who helped make this year’s celebrations such a success.” 

The Council is already beginning preparations for CultureFest 2023, with plans to build on the 

popularity of the interactive activities. 

Protect your bike from theft with 

529 Garage 

Selwyn residents wanting to deter potential bike thieves or help find 

their bike if it is stolen are being encouraged to register their bike 

with the free 529 Garage service. 

Canterbury Police have teamed up with the community-powered 

bike recovery initiative in a bid to curb bike thefts and reunite 

owners with their stolen property. It follows a costly year for owners 

in 2021, with more than $2 million worth of bikes pinched and an 

average of four bikes a day reported stolen to Canterbury Police. 

The 529 Garage service works by recording a bike’s details, 

including serial numbers, photos and identifying features. This 

makes it easy for Police to identify stolen bikes and return them to 

their rightful owners. 

Once registered, owners can obtain a unique code on a tamperresistant 

shield to stick on their bike, which acts as a warning to 

would-be thieves that the bike is registered. Potential buyers can 

also search the database to check if a secondhand bike they’re 

looking at has been flagged as stolen. 

If stolen, bike owners can update the 529 Garage app, and a 

notification is sent to the local 529 Garage community, advising 

them to keep an eye out for the bike. 

The initiative is a collaboration between Canterbury Police, Project 

529, and Christchurch City Council, with Auckland and Wellington 

also participating. 

The 529 Garage app can be downloaded for free from the App Store 

and Google Play. 

Once registered, tamper-resistant shields can be obtained from 

Christchurch City Council or from several Christchurch bike stores. 

Visit the Christchurch City Council website ccc.govt.nz for 

more information.

Milestone reached for Hororātā community hub 

The Council and the Hororātā Community Trust have signed a Memorandum of Understanding 

(MOU) around the creation of a community hub in the township. 

Mayor Sam Broughton signed the MOU last week confirming the Council will transfer the 

Hororātā Community Hall and surrounding endowment land to the Trust, along with a grant of $1 

million to support the trust in building the new community hub. 

The Council has been working with the Hororātā community and with the Trust for a number 

of years, with a view to building a new community facility for the township, and the MOU is an 

important stage in that process, Council Chief Executive David Ward says. 

“The Council is excited to have this agreement in place, and confirm its support for the Trust to 

get the community facility built. A lot of hard work has gone into this from all sides to ensure 

Hororātā receives a facility that meets its needs now and into the future, and this is a positive step 

towards seeing that completed.” 

Hororata Community Trust Trustee Richard Lang said it was an important day for the Hororātā 

community. "We are looking forward to developing a vibrant community hub which will feature 

our areas heritage and celebrate our stories."

RACING 35 

Purdon perplexed after strange night 

• By Michael Guerin 

BLOOD TESTS could shed 

some light on just why punters 

got such a bleeding nose at 

Addington on Friday night. 

Top trainer 

Mark Purdon 

will have 

bloods taken 

from several 

of his team 

after a rollercoaster 

night 

Mark Purdon 

last Friday, 

which most 

expensively 

saw Akuta beaten in the Lazarus 

Stakes at $1.20. 

It was a strange night for 

punters with Akuta’s defeat 

followed up by both Muscle 

Mountain and Sundees Son 

galloping in the main trot and 

several other favourites underperforming. 

The two superstar trotters 

galloping, while costly, is at 

least easy enough for punters to 

understand but Akuta sitting in 

the one-one and not running 

past a horse back in three-yearold 

company was a real head 

scratcher. 

“He was disappointing,” Purdon 

said. 

“I know they were running 

fast times off the front and the 

winner (Republican Party) is a 

good horse but we still didn’t 

run past anything. 

“So I am suspicious the team 

might have a bug. There was 

no sign of anything before they 

raced and their work had been 

good but usually when they have 

a virus they might have a cough 

after the race. 

“That was the case with Akuta 

and couple of others so we will 

take bloods off them on Tuesday 

and know more when we get 

those results back.” 

Purdon says Akuta’s defeat will 

not play into his eventual decision 

whether to start in the IRT 

NZ Cup or not. 

“First thing first we will get 

him checked out and see if needs 

to be treated and then his next 

aim is the Three-Year-Old Flying 

Stakes at Addington on October 

14. 

“Then, all going well, he would 

probably go to the Ashburton 

Flying Stakes against some of the 

best ones and if he does that, that 

is when we will decide about the 

New Zealand Cup. 

CHECKS: 

Blood tests 

will reveal 

if Akuta is 

carrying a 

bug. 

“But just because he got 

beaten last Friday doesn’t change 

anything, he still has the same 

ability.” 

Purdon said the Addington 

track felt fair and even on Friday 

night, dispelling thoughts the inside 

may have been faster, which 

would only really be the case if 

the track was graded unevenly 

and was deeper wider. 

“I think the fact the leaders 

were running such fast times and 

maybe a virus going around were 

factors, while the spring growth 

(grass) is really coming through 

now and some of the horses may 

be doing a little too well because 

of that.” 

Purdon was pleased with both 

Spankem and Self Assured’s 

placings behind B D Joe in the 

Canterbury Classic and they 

could even head to the Methven 

Cup this Sunday. 

Among those who is likely 

to meet them there is Alta 

Wiseguy as trainers Steve 

and Amanda Telfer look to 

continue their great start to the 

NZ Cup campaigns of he and B 

D Joe. 

“Alta Wiseguy will go to Methven 

but B D Joe will wait and he 

could even return to Addington 

on the 14th and then Ashburton,” 

says Telfer. 

While the superstar trotter’s 

defeats will mean little to their 

eventual chances Dominion 

there was already a market 

move pre-race that saw Bolt For 

Brilliance, who resumes 

at Alexandra Park this Friday, 

join Sundees Son as joint favourite. 

“We hadn’t been taking a lot 

of money for Sundees Son 

and we really liked Bolt 

For Brilliance’s workout 

performance against the pacers 

at Pukekohe so we rate them 

equal chances now,” said TAB 

bookmaker Matt Peden.

GARDENING 


Get seedlings started now under cover 

IN WARMER districts, where no 

more frosts are expected, runner 

and butter beans can be sown. In 

most gardens, it is better to delay 

growing these tender vegetables 

outdoors and to get seed started 

under cover. This is also true of 

sweet corn and outdoor tomatoes. 

From the time they germinate, 

runner beans, such as Scarlet 

Runner, take 90 days to mature, 

while dwarf or butter beans will 

produce crops in 60 days. The 

latter are generally recommended 

for smaller gardens, but a few 

runner beans can be grown 

anywhere they can climb. 

If sowing them in their 

permanent position, put runner 

bean seeds about 5cm apart 

around a bean teepee or against 

the netting or trellis they are to 

climb. 

Pinching out the tips to make 

bushier plants is a waste of 

effort, as it reduces the crop. Like 

climbing types, butter bean seeds 

should be set 5cm apart, with 

60cm between rows. 

Plant out cabbages, cauliflower, 

lettuces, parsley and silverbeet, 

and check that autumn-sown 

broad beans have adequate 

support. 

Sow spinach and orach where 

they are to mature. Orach, or 

red mountain spinach, is a lowgrowing, 

purple-leaved vegetable 

cooked like spinach. 

Sow white turnips, spring 

onions and quick-maturing mini 

beetroot, such as Bonny Baby. 

Small beetroot plants can be 

transplanted to fill gaps. 

Main-crop beetroot can be 

sown next month. 

Turnips and beetroot should 

not be grown in soil where traces 

of animal manure remain, as this 

causes the roots to fork. Maincrop 

potatoes Rua, Moonlight, 

Red Rascal (the improved form 

of Desiree), Red King, Heather, 

Iwa and Agria, for example, can 

be planted now in areas that 

experience hot summers. In 

cooler districts, wait until next 

month. 

Flowers 

Many spring-flowering shrubs 

are pruned as soon as they have 

finished blooming. This is so the 

plants can make new growth over 

summer and autumn, as it is on 

this new wood that they flower 

next season. 

Clematis (right), which has its 

peak flowering next month, is 

often left to grow unchecked but 

most types can be pruned hard 

after flowering. Cut C. montana 

to 1m above ground, leaving only 

a main stem with two to four 

buds to develop. 

Rhododendrons and azaleas 

can still be planted. They are 

shallow-rooted, with fibrous roots 

close to the surface, making them 

easy to transplant. Set the shrubs 

with the highest roots just 2cm to 

3cm below the soil surface. 

Adequate moisture is vital to 

this group, so mulch around the 

roots with rotted autumn leaves, 

pine needles or old sawdust from 

wood that is not tanalised. Being 

woodland plants, rhododendrons 

and azaleas need an acid soil, so 

never apply lime. 

Azaleas come in two types – 

evergreen and deciduous – and 

the latter have colourful autumn 

foliage in orange or red. Winter 

roses (Helleborus) can be divided 

this month. They do better 

in semishade rather than full 

shade, and can be boosted with 

leaf mould or well-rotted cow 

manure. 

Lawns can be planted or 

renewed now. Rake any bare 

patches to give a slightly rough 

surface, then scatter with a lawn 

grass mix – usually chewings 

fescue and browntop seed in a 

2:1 ratio – then cover with fine 

soil and press down lightly. Water 

HELPING HAND: 

In early spring 

it’s best to get 

seeds, such as 

beans, started 

under cover. 

Below: Prune 

spring-flowering 

shrubs as 

soon as they 

have finished 

blooming. 

PHOTOS: ODT 

if the soil is dry, then cover with 

netting to stop birds eating the 

seed. 

Fruit 

Grafting of apples, pears and 

other fruit trees is usually done 

this month. This is an important 

way of saving heritage fruit trees, 

and courses on how to graft trees 

are run each season by specialinterest 

groups. 

Raspberries put in over winter 

should be cut back to 30cm 

above the ground to encourage 

new stems (canes) to grow over 

summer for a better crop next 

year. 

This treatment is also 

recommended for blackberries, 

tayberries, boysenberries, 

loganberries and marionberries. 

New blackcurrant bushes 

should be pruned to about 25cm 

above the ground, but red and 

white currants need only to have 

last season’s growth trimmed 

by about half. This growth is 

identified by its lighter bark. 

Gooseberries are pruned in the 

same way as red currants.

IF YOU’VE got an area 

in your garden where you 

want to create a mass of 

colour, you can’t go past 

petunias. 

They are prolific bloomers 

that, if looked after, 

will continue to flower all 

summer. 

You can choose from 

plain purple, red, pink or 

white. How about purple 

with dashes of white like on 

the primetime violet star? 

Or the duo red and white 

variety which, like the 

name suggests, produces 

a beautiful mixture of red 

and white flower? 

GARDENING 39 

PROLIFIC: Try a mixed petunia bundle to give a myriad of colour. 

Bedding flowers will give 

you beautiful blooms 

Not sure what colour to 

select? Then try a mixed 

bundle. 

Don’t have a big garden 

to fill with bedding flowers? 

Don’t worry about that 

either. All petunias really 

need to flourish is a sunny, 

free-draining spot. They 

grow equally as well in pots 

and hanging baskets making 

them perfect for just 

about any garden. 

Once you’ve selected 

your seedlings and sunny 

spot to plant, simply dig 

small holes, around 3cm 

deep and 25cm apart, and 

plant. 

Be sure to watch out for 

slugs. It also pays to keep 

an eye out for aphids. If you 

spot these pesky pests, a 

general insecticide or spray 

of organic alternative, neem 

oil will sort that problem. 

And make sure to keep 

them watered. If you’re not 

sure how thirsty they are, 

stick your finger in the soil 

2cm deep. If the soil is dry, 

they will need a drink. 

Then sit back and wait 

just four to six weeks for 

your beautiful petunias to 

bloom. Remember to pick 

off dead heads to encourage 

re-flowering. 

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Pasifika mum shows 

how it’s done 

Not so long ago, Epe Valavala was a 

full-time, stay-at-home mum. Now, she’s 

the proud recipient of a business degree 

specialising in human resources and on a 

mission to get more Pacific people into the 

corporate world. 

Epe’s accomplishment provides an 

inspirational example — for her family, the 

Pasifika community and mature students — 

of what’s possible through study. 

When Epe first visited Ara Institute 

of Canterbury to enquire about its 

study options, she literally had a baby 

on her hip and needed to know if study 

would fit around her lengthy list of daily 

responsibilities. “I found out that the 

scheduling at Ara worked perfectly for me 

as a parent and I wouldn’t need to try to 

attend one-hour, lecture-style classes,” she 

says. 

Epe admits that she was apprehensive 

about the thought of being a mature student 

among lots of young adults but discovered 

she needn’t have worried. “The smaller 

class sizes and the atmosphere at Ara let me 

contribute my practical life experience to 

the mix.” 

Epe’s study experience was a revelation 

in many ways. “From the classroom 

experience to group work, presentations 

and sleepless nights, it’s showed me my 

worth, my capability and reminded me 

of my purpose in life and the many great 

things I want to achieve.” 

One of those things is diving deeper 

into human resources. “I want to be 

able to weave in some more cultural and 

sustainable practices because I believe if 


those things are taught at your workplace, 

they change the way you work, your 

homelife and the way you teach your 

children.” 

Ultimately, Epe wants see more Pasifika 

people in corporate roles. “Seeing more 

people who look like us in the corporate 

world will encourage others to get 

into business and it will increase our 

independence. It will also open more 

doors for our people. That’s why I chose to 

study business, and to specialise in human 

resources.” 

Epe “100%” encourages all single mums 

out there to make the sacrifices needed 

to study. “It’s hard work, but with a bit of 

dedication it can be done, and at Ara you’re 

surrounded by the right people, and you’re 

well supported.”

study options, visit ara.ac.nz or call

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Advertising Feature 

Farmers still stuck in 

connectivity slow land 

Coverage, reliability and speed of mobile and 

internet services for many farming families and 

businesses are treading water, if not going backwards, 

the 2022 Federated Farmers Rural Connectivity 

Survey shows. 

More than half of the nearly 1,200 farmers who 

responded to the survey report internet download 

speeds at or less than what could be considered a 

bare minimum (20 megabytes per second/Mbps) 

and those who said their mobile phone service had 

declined in the last 12 months jumped from 20% to 

32%. 

“For a sector that underpins the lion’s share of 

New Zealand’s export earnings, and one where 

productivity gains and reporting requirements 

are increasingly aligned with used of technology, 

apps and devices, this is really concerning,” 

Federated Farmers national board member and 

telecommunications spokesperson Richard McIntyre 

said. 

“It’s a given that it’s easier and more profitable to 

deliver high standards of mobile and broadband to 

urban areas. But rural families and farm businesses 

- who due to remoteness and road travel times can 

really benefit from strong on-line connectivity access 

- must not be left behind.” 

The survey showed a continuing trend of farmers 

moving to wireless broadband (now 52%) and, 

despite the expense, satellite services (19%) as old 

copper lines fail to deliver on speed and reliability. 

“But we saw a greater number of farmers remark 

that the quality and reliability of their internet 

connections had deteriorated as local network 

infrastructure had become over-subscribed, either by 

increased numbers of users or increased demand by 

those users,” McIntyre said. 

A similar issue is happening with mobile phone 

services. 

“When a third of rural users are saying mobile 

connectivity has declined in the last year, it points to 

severe reliability issues.” 

Nearly 69 percent of respondents reported problems 

with calls dropping out, an inability to make and 

receive calls or send and receive text messages even 

when they have two signal bars on their cellphone. 

For many, the decline in mobile services meant they 

were no longer able to rely on mobile broadband 

as a back-up for those times where their internet 

connection to the farm is disrupted. For others, it 

appears nearby mobile towers have become incapable 

of handing voice calls and mobile data as they have 

become overburdened by more people making 

greater use of the same towers. 

“This is an issue Federated Farmers raised with 

government following our 2020 and 2019 surveys 

and we acknowledge that of $60 million earmarked 

for rural telecommunications in this year’s Budget, 

some $45m is dedicated to upgrading or adding 

towers,” McIntyre said. 

“This work can’t happen too soon.”

THERE’S A BATTLE raging 

in the new car market that 

I’m very interested in, and it’s 

not just about the total sales 

figures. 

You see, there’s a battle 

within a battle and it is in the 

fully electric vehicle segment, 

those companies that have 

EVs are fighting amongst 

each other for market share. 

Of course, the winners will 

always be the companies that 

have affordable cars for the 

mainstream – Peugeot, MG 

and newcomer BYD will fall 

into that category. 

However, you can’t 

discount the models landing 

here from South Korea, 

Hyundai and Kia are both 

well established in the EV 

market and new models are 

landing on a regular basis. 

Kia has just introduced a 

newcomer and it is simply 

badged EV6, it’s part of a 

series of models that will 

cover a broad spectrum of 

the EV market. The EV6 isn’t 

mainstream, its price tag 

from $72,990 won’t lure Joe 

Average, in fact the rangetopping 

EV6 is priced at 

$109,990. However, if you are 

determined to buy into the 

EV6 there are two variants 

that list from under $80k, 

and that will net you a $5750 

New Zealand Government 

Clean Car Programme 

rebate. The remaining three 

models in the line-up are 

priced at $78,990, $94,990 

and $106,990. 

That’s quite an extensive 

range, and if you are 

wondering where the cost 

differences lie, the two 

entry models have battery 

capacities of 58kW and 

77.4kW respectively and are 

rear-wheel-drive only, the 

rest have the high power 

batteries and have drive to all 

four corners, the four-wheeldrive 

models utilising two 

electric motors. 

The EV6 can be described 

as a crossover between sedan 

and a sport utility vehicle, 

its design is spherical and 

all enveloping, much like a 

sedan, but with its height of 

1.5m it is tall and fits the SUV 

bracket. 

All models have five seats 

only, but they share a wealth 

of internal space and comfort 

is high. The EV6 is also 

minimalistic in its layout. 

Don’t get me wrong, it has 

a wealth of specification, 

yet it’s all manipulated by 

simple dial and push-button 

controls, you may expect 

there to be a lot of functions, 

but many of those that 

would ordinarily be guided 

by switches can be made 

electronically through one of 

the central display screens. 

The EV6 has a high graphic 

percentage, and the logic 

behind the touch surfaces is 

deep yet intuitive. 

I find it interesting that 

both Kia and Hyundai offer 

the varying power supplies 

for their flagship electric 

KIA EV6: Range of electric models that include 

rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. Prices start at 

$72,990 

models, the difference is not 

just extra power on tap, but 

the high output versions will 

take you further. 

The evaluation car was 

the range-topper, and it 

is good for almost 500km 

driving distance if conditions 

are conducive to load-free 

motoring. If you feel more 

comfortable topping up 

along the way the EV6 will 

recharge from 10 to 80 per 

cent in around 18min using a 

designated charge port. 

• Price – Kia EV6 GT- 

Line AWD, $112,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4635mm; 

width, 1890mm; 

height, 1605mm 

• Configuration 

– Two electric 

motors, four-wheeldrive, 

225kW, 

605Nm, automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 5.2sec 

My charging experience 

consisted only of using 

the domestic supply on 

my property. Under those 

conditions the charge time is 

quite lengthy – an overnight 

charge will only net you a 

half tank, so to speak. On a 

more positive note, I used the 

EV6 as many drivers would, 

when parked up hook into 

the household supply and 

just let it continually top up. 

If found that on a standard 

suburb to city commute it 

was more than adequate to 

keep range plentiful. 

What’s more, it comes with 

decent charge cable length 

– almost 6m which meant 

it was long enough for my 

unique situation. The type 

2 to type 2 cable (the one 

for accessing charge ports) 

is also quite lengthy, which 

means you don’t have to get 

too close to the structure 

and risk bumping into it like 

I saw just recently when a 

driver of a Tesla got too close. 

As you would expect, the 

EV6 drives smoothly and 

quietly, there are minor 

extraneous noises such as 

wind and a slight roar off the 

big tyres (255/45 x 20in), but 

its movement is very hushed 

and I guess that’s what you 

would want and expect when 

buying an electric vehicle. 

Along with a lot of innercity 

running around, I took 

the evaluation car west 

towards Darfield, returning 

via Burnham and Lincoln. It is 

an adept highway cruiser, it’s 

also very swift with a standstill 

to 100km time of 5.2sec, 

and it will lunge through a 

highway overtake in 4.2sec 

(80-120km/h). Those figures 

come from the benefit of huge 

power figures – 225kW and 

over 600Nm of torque. 

Not only is the massive 

amount of torque something 

that supplies that urgency, 

the EV6 also drives like a 

sports car. It is firmish in the 

suspension which always 

augurs well when quick 

corners are presented. 

The steering loads up 

to provide solid off-centre 

support with plenty of 

feedback coming off the 

front tyres. That’s the kind 

of feel I like, the EV6 is fully 

involving and covers distance 

like a sports car. That is one 

of the benefits of electric 

power, there’s no point 

anywhere where acceleration 

isn’t met with urgency. Of 

course, you don’t have to 

drive the EV6 in sport mode, 

it’s also happy plying the city 

commute or every other dayto-day 

dawdle. 

There’s no doubt Kia is 

keen to impress with its 

electric-only line-up. The EV6 

is futuristic, yet it carries the 

electric vehicle ingredients 

that will lure those who don’t 

see fossil fuel in the future of 

personal transport. How it all 

plays out is something that I’ll 

continue to keep an eye on, 

and it’s interesting how the 

raft of new EVs are pitched 

in terms of price, many are 

sitting just below the 80k 

threshold whereby owners 

can capitalise on the rebate. 

We are certainly in for 

some exciting times ahead, 

and Kia will no doubt be 

a big part of how future 

direction shapes up.

SELWYN DISTRICT PLANS 

Notice of insertion of housing bottom 

lines to Selwyn district plans 

At its meeting on 14 September 2022, the Selwyn District Council resolved to amend 

the Operative Selwyn District Plan and Proposed Selwyn District Plan to incorporate 

“housing bottom lines” in accordance with clause 3.6 of the National Policy Statement 

on Urban Development 2020 (NPS-UD). Specifically, Section Objective B4.3.9 of the 

Operative District Plan and UG-P13 of the Proposed District Plan have been amended. 

The housing bottom lines represent the additional development capacity over the shortmedium 

(2021-2031) and long term (2031-2051) that must be enabled by the district 

plans to meet expected housing demand in the Selwyn district. 

The housing bottom lines replace the previous minimum targets, which were inserted 

under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity 2016. 

Clause 3.6(4) of the NPS-UD requires the housing bottom lines to be inserted into the 

district plans without using a process in Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 

1991 (RMA) (this means submissions cannot be made on these amendments). 

The amendments to the Operative and Proposed Plans have been made under section 

55(3) of the RMA. 

The amendments are effective from the date of this notice (5 October 2022). 

The Operative and Proposed District plans can be viewed on the Council’s website at 

www.selwyn.govt.nz. 

The full text of the decision can be read online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/publicnotices.

winds and less upkeep than a conventional lifestyle block. Located so close to Ladbrooks School, and just over 5 

minutes drive to Prebbleton, Halswell, Tai Tapu or Lincoln and 14km from the city, this is an exceptional opportunity. 

The home is spacious and enjoys effortless outdoor access. While entirely comfortable, there is untapped potential 

to add value. The private and sheltered grounds feature an in-ground swimming pool for summertime fun. A 

recently constructed self-contained one-bedroom family flat is ideal for visitors, teenagers or elderly parents. Other 

buildings include a large workshop and ultimate man cave, another workshop, woodsheds and a second studio 

perfect for hobbies, home office or overflow of family or friends. Good living starts here.

Looking for a Property? 

What really counts 

You are in the market for a new property, 

scrolling the Internet, examining 

properties for sale and zeroing in on those 

with potential. They might be in locations 

that offer cheaper land, larger houses, or 

convenience to work or school. You may 

have visited show homes and open homes 

becoming confused, overwhelmed or 

swept away with emotional factors like 

having everything new, or extra features 

such as three car garaging. 

To be happy with your choice, list the 

features that you need, considering: 

• Family space – Is there room for 

the children to play indoors and for 

television and entertainment units? 

Should this be open plan or separated? 

• Kitchen – What needs to be in your 

kitchen? How serious are you about 

a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or 

something that offers a practical solution 

to the way you use your kitchen? 

• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum 

sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate 

to slightly lower building costs while 

extra space can be useful. When looking 

at existing homes, consider whether the 

size of each bedroom is sufficient. 

• Garaging – A standard double garage 

once two cars are parked there offers 

little space for the toys. What toys 

do you have and could they live with 

the lawnmower in a garden shed, a 

cheaper option to three car garaging? 

If the budget allows and a larger garage 

with workshop is important, make it a 

selection priority. 

• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer 

space for children, pets, hobbies, an 

expansive garden and perhaps a homerun 

business but they require work so 

are not for everyone and a compact 

section might be more sensible if a tight 

budget or busy lifestyle. 

• Bathrooms – Second and third 

bathrooms are great in homes with 

teenagers and a wet shower room is 

ideal for young children. A bath might 

be fashionable though is often not used 

and its absence could mean a more 

spacious bathroom. 

• Laundry – Would a laundry in the 

garage do the job? 

• Storage – How much storage do you 

need? Weigh up what can truly be 

stored in the garage once vehicles are 

in, a preference in winter. Garages vary 

in size so check the size to ensure your 

vehicles will fit. Look also at where 

else the house offers storage capacity 

such as in hall cupboards, a large hot 

water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes 

(check their width and depth), walkin 

robe, attic storage trusses, as well as 

the potential for hooks and shelving 

in the garage for bikes, tools, garden 

equipment and even kayaks. 

• Off-street parking – How many 

vehicles can be parked on the driveway? 

Will this space be sufficient? 

• Garden - Is there sufficient space 

for your children to play or for 

entertaining? 

A checklist will allow you to determine 

what will suit your needs, the point of 

the exercise, saving you time looking at 

properties or potential house designs 

while assisting you to decide whether 

to buy a new or existing home with 

both options having advantages and 

disadvantages. 

West Melton 25 Fairmont Rise 

Where memories are made and dreams are fulfilled 

The substantial 355sqm floor plan has been designed to impress and yet be practical for everyday family living. 

Appreciate the natural warmth of the engineered Oak flooring, the ease of meal preparation in the up-to-the-minute 

kitchen, which has both stone and stainless steel counter tops, Bosch appliances and a butler's pantry. The bedroom 

configuration is a winner, with bedrooms two and three boasting their own walk-in robes, a dual access ensuite and 

individual heat pumps. The master suite also has its own heat pump and an enviable wall-to-wall tiled shower in the 

ensuite. Triple car garage with an extra-length bay for boat storage, attic access, 2.85m stud ceilings and 2.45m 

doors with a drive-through. But wait there's more...family and friends can spend time together making memories in 

the heated pool or playing out on the large fully-irrigated lawn of the fabulous 2,041sqm section.

Buying a lifestyle block 

27 

City life getting you down? Dreaming of 

living in the country, where you ‘commute’ 

from the breakfast table to a barn or your 

home office? It might look like an easy life 

but buying a lifestyle property can be a 

complex business. 

While living in the country has much 

to recommend it, you need to do more 

preparation for buying a place there than 

buying a pair of gumboots and comparing 

the merits of ride-on mowers. 

We recommend comprehensive due 

diligence when buying any kind of property, 

but rural ones come with a whole extra set 

of things to think about compared to buying 

a straightforward stand-alone home in 

town”. 

While it’s tempting to focus on the dream 

wish list for your bucolic bolt-hole, but you 

should also compile a list of issues to be 

aware of (and people who can help you learn 

about them). 

“If the property you like is being sold by 

a licensed real estate agent, remember that 

you can ask them anything you like about it”. 

“Rural real estate agents have special 

skills in this area and they’ll be able to help 

you figure out what information you need 

to make a well-informed decision. It’s also 

a good idea to get your lawyer onboard 

early to check titles, consents and other 

information that you gather in the process.” 

It might feel like you’re getting away from 

it all when moving out of town, but rural 

developments can be subject to rules that 

restrict what you can do. REA recommends 

getting your lawyer to check if there are any 

covenants on the property that might have 

an impact on a future business you may 

run there, or any planned building projects. 

You don’t want to invest in an alpaca herd 

for your new dream property only to find 

that it’s not allowed to carry any livestock. 

Similarly, it would be tough to discover that 

your subdivision plans are not permitted by 

council rules. 

Be aware that there may be tax 

implications if you’re planning to use the 

property as a business. 

“In general, if it is currently being used for 

a business that is tax-registered – whether 

that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock 

or running a B&B – then the seller will 

probably add GST to the price. This means 

you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you 

are also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer 

or accountant to check if the house or any 

other buildings on the property are GSTexempt. 

They will also be able to advise you 

on whether you need to be GST-registered.” 

A good place to start when trying to 

figure out what tax obligations might 

attach to your purchase of the property 

is Inland Revenue’s property tax decision 

tree (available at http://www.ird.govt. 

nz/property/property-terms-and-tools/ 

property-decision-tree/), but keep in mind 

that it is always best to seek professional 

advice before you make a decision. 

Rural properties (like all properties) can 

also have easements on the title that relate to 

access, water or power. You should ask your 

lawyer to check the title and work out what 

the easements are, and how they will have an 

impact on your rights and responsibilities as 

an owner. 

“For example, if the title allows a 

neighbour access to a piece of their land 

through your property, do you have any 

right to limit the type and frequency of that 

access if you buy it?” 

Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’ 

easements operating; the incumbent 

owners may have an informal arrangement 

with their neighbours, but this may not 

remain when the property passes into new 

ownership. 

Things that we take for granted when 

living in urban environments, like water, 

sewage and access, can require more 

involvement in rural areas. Check the water 

sources for the property – if it has its own 

bore, are there limits on the amount of 

water you can draw from it? What is the 

process for ensuring it is safe to drink? What 

happens to wastewater and sewage? Are you 

prepared for life with a septic tank? Will the 

current owner ensure the tank is empty as a 

condition of sale? 

When it comes to access, will you 

share a private road or right of way with 

other properties? What will be your 

responsibilities and potential costs for 

maintaining it? Don’t forget that your 

neighbours may be involved in unglamorous 

activities at ungodly hours – check the 

zoning rules for nearby properties if you’re 

worried about noise, smells or traffic. You 

might think it’s lovely to have stock grazing 

out the window, but are you ready for a 

milk tanker driving past every morning? Be 

aware that the LIM will not always alert you 

to any pending or current NZTA decisions 

regarding local highway linkages that often 

divert traffic away from urban centres in 

favour of immediate rural areas on the town 

boundary. Check with NZTA if you think 

your property could be affected by road 

changes. 

Like all property purchases, buying a place 

in the country requires careful, objective 

consideration. 

“There are lots of great things about 

living on the land, but it’s best to be realistic 

about it. You don’t want to be like the 

former townie I met a few weeks ago, who 

mournfully told me that their lifestyle 

block had become “a life sentence”. Do your 

homework and you’re far more likely to live 

happily ever after in rural bliss.”

Extending 

outdoor living 

Rain and wind-proofing an outdoor space adds value 

to a property. With a roof or clear vinyl sides, your 

buyers can see an area where rain doesn’t stop play. 

Thanks to blitz advertising, most 

Kiwis have heard the name Archgola. 

The company and others like it can add 

canopies to decks, enclosing the space for 

year-round use. 

Undercover verandas, pergolas and 

gazebos can be turned into living space 

by adding side panels, which effectively 

create a conservatory. Restaurants often 

use these spaces, so there’s no reason why 

home owners can’t as well. 

Roll-down clear vinyl blinds are a 

popular choice, which, if you’re lucky, 

can be bought ready made from hardware 

stores such as Bunnings and Mitre10. If 

not, there are plenty of companies that 

will custom manufacture to fit. Usually 

these blinds zip into place and are stored 

using a rope-and-pulley system. 

Mounting your blinds is very simple. 

Typically it involves screwing the 

mountings into wood or installing a track 

then fitting the blind. 

Other options include roll-up shade 

cloths or other gazebo or veranda sides, 

such as canvas. These aren’t as windproof 

as the vinyl blinds, meaning they’re not a 

12-month solution. 

If you don’t already have an outdoor 

living space, building a pergola doesn’t 

generally need planning permission.. 

Provided the pergola is less than 10 sq 

m in size, it is usually okay to add a roof. 

But a quick call to the council is a good 

idea; never risk building an unpermitted 

structure. 

Another option for quick and easy rain 

and windproof outdoor living is a pop-up 

gazebo. These can be turned into dining 

areas to give buyers a glimpse of what they 

could do themselves. 

It’s important to dress them so it doesn’t 

look like you’ve just plonked a gazebo 

on the lawn. Lights, plants, furniture 

and even place settings can really give a 

gazebo the Pinterest touch and bring it to 

life as an outdoor entertaining hub for the 

home. 

The more you pay for pop-up gazebos, 

the better UV protection of the fabric and 

powder coating of the steel you get. 

Heating the outdoor space also makes it 

more usable. The cheap option is a patio 

heater. Permanent gas, wood or pellet 

fireplaces and fire pits are easier on the 

eye and can make a design statement, allimportant 

when selling a home. 

For wind protection, it’s reasonably 

simple to erect trellis and staple brush 

sides to it or the existing fence. 

Bamboo is particularly good for this 

purpose, especially if you have access to a 

free source - although you could also buy 

it at all good hardware stores.

Dressing your property 

up for sale 

Your house is on the market and you hope to 

get a good price. While market performance 

will largely influence this, presenting your 

home at its best will help. 

First impressions count from 

the moment potential buyers view 

a property from the street to the 

moment they walk through the front 

door. 

Weed the garden, cut back unruly 

shrubs and prune trees where needed. 

Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle 

grass seed over bald patches and 

fertilise the lawn. 

Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess 

or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby 

items or fitness equipment and if too 

many photos on the wall pack these 

away so the home looks roomy. 

If there is a gap or a room needs 

enhancing, look at what you have. A 

piece of furniture might be painted up 

or an old leather bound book popped 

on the coffee table. Shelves will also 

add depth to a narrow space while 

mirrors may give the illusion of a 

larger space. In entryways, add an easy 

chair, small table, bookcase or large 

vase. 

Awkward spaces such as coved 

ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms 

might be converted into storage 

shelving and the room given a purpose 

as an office, playroom or extra 

bedroom so viewers can see how the 

room might be used. 

Stow possessions neatly in 

containers, shelving or tidily in 

cupboards; highlighting the storage 

potential within the home, ensuring 

it is clean and tidy for viewing at any 

time. 

Move the pets outside as not all 

buyers will be pet lovers while some 

may suffer pet allergies putting them 

off a house if they see a pet inside. 

If parts of the house look tired, 

consider renovating by painting 

walls, replacing worn carpet, or 

modernising the kitchen, bathroom 

and toilet; rooms that should sparkle. 

Replace tired cabinetry, or the benches 

and cupboard/drawer fronts then 

update old toilets, showers or kitchen 

appliances. Modernising these rooms 

can lift the final selling price. 

Use consistent and light paint 

colours throughout for balance and 

seamlessness, making the house 

appear more spacious. An effect that 

is increased when walls and curtains 

share the same or a similar colour. 

Consider the personality and 

purpose of a room. Bright colours 

lift living areas especially if large and 

open. However, bedrooms are suited 

to calmer softer colours with just a 

touch of bold. Layer bedding or use 

throws for effect along with cushions 

or a stuffed toy in a children’s room. 

With curtaining, smaller patterns or 

plain fabrics are the rule for smaller 

rooms whereas larger patterns make 

spacious areas cosier. If blinds or 

drapes are past their best, replace these 

even if it is only with neutral cotton 

curtains. The effect will be worth it. 

Eco-friendly features will also add 

value for some buyers though not 

universally, however earthy natural 

colours and features are popular. 

Consider who your target buyers are 

likely to be and what will appeal to 

them. 

Move the pets outside 

as not all buyers will 

be pet lovers while 

some may suffer pet 

allergies

Making the most of 

show home viewing 

Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for 

features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful 

for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design. 

[Edition datE] 1 

Before heading out for a day’s 

viewing, conduct an internet search. 

identify the locations of show home 

villages and the types and sizes of the 

various building company’s homes on 

display, noting down the square metre 

size of each home. 

if wanting a high end, architectural 

design, focus on the larger homes that 

have desirable design features. if at the 

entry or middle level of the market, 

earmark homes that fit this taking in 

other show homes for extra ideas. 

allow sufficient time when visiting each 

show home, asking for a floor plan that 

has room sizes before walking through. 

Check also the floor to ceiling height 

of the rooms and consider how this feels 

and whether you prefer a cosier feel with 

the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or 

more spaciousness created with a higher 

stud or exposed ceiling beams. 

if doors and windows are taller than 

normal, weigh their effect in creating 

a more luxurious and spacious feel, 

against potential inconvenience for small 

children, cleaning and maintenance. 

on entering each room, take account of 

how much furniture is in each room and 

whether there is sufficient space for the 

furniture you will have in the room and 

the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look 

too, at storage capacity throughout the 

home and whether this is adequate. 

in the living areas, consider whether a 

lounge separated from the family living 

room or a true open plan kitchen, dining, 

living/lounge area is preferable, and 

compare internal kitchens with those that 

have natural light. 

Look too at the layout of 

the kitchen: whether to have 

an island sink or breakfast 

bar where a newspaper can 

be read, and children can 

sit and draw or complete 

homework; the positioning 

of appliances; and how 

important having a pantry is. 

for the little rooms, equate 

space and features desired 

with that needed, especially 

if the budget needs to be 

sharp. it might be nice to 

have a large walk-in shower 

with double shower heads 

but is this just fanciful and 

will the extra cleaning annoy you long 

term. a laundry in the garage is also more 

economical though a separate laundry 

may be handier. 

Bring the garage size into the equation 

also. as these vary considerably, assess 

the actual measurements of each garage 

viewed comparing this with the space 

SELLING YOUR HOME? 

needed for your motor vehicles and other 

items to be stored there. if a good number 

of toys will be housed there, it may be 

sensible to increase the size of this area of 

the home. 

By imagining what you need, want and 

will have in your new home, you will be in 

a better position to confidently choose a 

design that works for you. 

Potential buyers are 

likely to be living in your

to stay in. That’s why it

New building code update 

for insulation 

New Zealand homes have long been 

under the spotlight for being cold, 

damp and unhealthy. However, the 

MBIE Building Code update from 3 

November 2022 is working towards 

rectifying this problem ensuring New 

Zealand has safe, healthy and durable 

buildings. These changes affect all 

residential dwellings under 300m2. 

MBIE states, “The building 

code sets the minimum standard 

for building compliance. This is 

effectively the lowest standard that 

can be legally built. Our homes and 

buildings will need to perform better 

to help meet long-term national net 

zero carbon targets.” New Zealand’s 

goal is to reach this target by 2050. 

So, the Building for Climate Change 

programme starts with reviewing the 

roof, slab and window R-value (the 

thermal resistance measure) of new 

builds’ insulation and bringing them 

up to international standards. 

Windows represent the largest 

source of heat loss in new homes. As a 

result, Canterbury will need to reach 

a minimum R-value of 0.37 for all 

windows and doors by 3 November 

2022, increasing to R0.50 by 1 May 

2023. Prue McCaughan from Dark 

Horse Building Ltd, based in Kirwee, 

advises that you can still install 

aluminium frames, but glass will 

require argon gas between panes. 

Additionally, as of 1 May 2023, they 

will need to be in a thermally broken 

aluminium or uPVC frame. As a 

result, manufacturer numbers could 

impact supply, and a cost increase of 

30-40% may occur. Skylight size will 

also be affected, reducing to no less 

than 1.5 metres or 1.5% of the roof 

area. However, greater insulation will 

minimise cold airflow and help to 

prevent condensation. 

Roof insulation will also have 

an increase in R-value. Currently, 

Canterbury’s minimum insulation 

is R3.3, increasing to R 6.6, 

meaning a double insulation 

thickness will be required. 

Therefore, building costs will 

increase due to the cost of 

materials and labour costs for 

installation. 

Flooring currently has an 

R-value of R1.3, with the slab 

on the ground increasing 

to R1.6, while other floors 

(driven piles or floors with 

underfloor heating) will 

have a new R-value of R3.0. 

Any new home buyers 

would benefit from 

submitting consents now 

to save money. As Prue 

suggests, the changes 

will increase by an 

estimated “$20,000 

on 180sqm property, 

mostly due to the 

windows”. However, with 

these updates, Prue says,” If 

you are looking for a house to 

build and live in for longevity, 

you will save that money in 

your heating costs, and overall 

be better; it will just bring us 

up to international standards, 

which New Zealand needs to 

do.” 

As New Zealand heads 

towards more passively heated 

homes, the way we build our 

houses will change. The upfront 

costs may increase, but overall, 

homes will be warmer, dryer, 

healthier and cheaper to heat for 

all New Zealanders.
