‘A waste of time’ – dairy owner<br />
after meeting ram-raider<br />
• By Tina Grumball<br />
THE OWNER of the<br />
Prebbleton Dairy targeted<br />
four times by youth believes a<br />
family group conference was a<br />
waste of time.<br />
The meeting involved one<br />
of the teens, a 13-year-old,<br />
his family, Oranga Tamariki,<br />
police and four other victims,<br />
including another dairy<br />
owner.<br />
Facilitated by Oranga<br />
Tamariki, youth justice family<br />
group conferences are<br />
intended to help youth take<br />
responsibility and leave them<br />
with a plan for the future.<br />
While the victims could<br />
speak at the meeting, Sangeet<br />
Mehta said the decision had<br />
already been made as to what<br />
would happen with the youth.<br />
The victim’s views did not<br />
make a difference.<br />

where the young<br />

waste of time.<br />
I can understand why. A<br />

TARGETED Government<br />
funding is set to benefit Lincoln<br />
to the tune of $5.1 million,<br />
enabling the town’s main street<br />
upgrade to kick off earlier than<br />
planned.<br />
The Lincoln Town Centre Plan<br />
has been a project in long-term<br />
planning for the district council<br />
for about seven years. The funding<br />
would allow the first stage<br />
of the project to be brought<br />
forward one year, to begin in the<br />
2023/24 financial year.<br />
Improvements will be along<br />
the eastern end of Gerald St,<br />
from West Belt to Kildare Tce,<br />
including installation of traffic<br />
signals with pedestrian crossings<br />
at the intersection with West Belt,<br />
cycle lanes replacing parallel car<br />
parks, footpath and streetscape<br />
upgrades, and intersection and<br />
drainage improvements.<br />
The district council will add<br />
$1.2m of its own funding for<br />
improvements, including the addition<br />
of nearby open-space car<br />
parking, located behind shops<br />
on Gerald St, between William<br />
St and Lyttelton St.<br />
The district council is due to<br />
receive $5.59 million from the<br />
first round of the Better Off<br />
Funding package assigned by the<br />
Government as part of the Three<br />
Waters Reform. It has chosen the<br />
first stage of the Lincoln Town<br />
Centre Plan as its key project.<br />
Springs Ward<br />
district councillor<br />
Malcolm Lyall<br />
welcomed the<br />
allocation and<br />
the district<br />
council decision,<br />
confirmed at its<br />
meeting last week.<br />

Town Centre Plan) is well<br />

BENEFITS:<br />
Lincoln’s<br />
Gerald St<br />
will be made<br />
safer for<br />
cyclists and<br />
pedestrians<br />
with $5.1m of<br />
Government<br />
funding.<br />
and truly overdue. The people<br />
of Lincoln have had to wait<br />
and wait, while we have seen<br />
development happening around<br />
the district. The three ward<br />
councillors have been fighting<br />
for funding in this area, I’m<br />
overjoyed we are getting this<br />
going,” Lyall said.<br />
He said the district council<br />
could also bring forward the<br />
following stages, of extending<br />
improvements along Gerald St<br />
and more car parking, as it went<br />
through its long-term planning<br />
process.<br />
Lyall said the district council<br />
had responded to public concern<br />
earlier in the planning process<br />
about losing parallel parks to the<br />
cycle lanes, by purchasing series<br />
of sections for car parking.<br />
He said the improvements<br />
would make the town centre<br />
safer for pedestrians and cyclists.<br />
Chief executive David Ward<br />
commented on climate change<br />
considerations in his report to<br />
district councillors for the meeting.<br />
“The Lincoln town centre upgrade<br />
supports improved mode<br />
choice and low emissions travel<br />
through the provision of safe,<br />
accessible and enjoyable walking<br />
and cycling options within the<br />
town centre,” Ward said.<br />
The district council plans to<br />
use the remainder of the $5.59m<br />
Better Off Funding package for<br />
feasibility studies for a Leeston<br />
health facility and enhancing<br />
the scope of the Arthur’s Pass to<br />
Te Waihora Cycle Trail, along<br />
with supporting mana whenua<br />
governance participation in<br />
district council subcommittees<br />
in future.<br />
A second round of Better<br />
Off funding will be released<br />
to district councils around the<br />
country in 2024.<br />

Pak ’N Save<br />
step closer<br />
in Rolleston<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
PAK ’N SAVE is set to come<br />
to Rolleston, after a hearing<br />
commissioner has issued a<br />
decision to grant an application<br />
by Foodstuffs.<br />
The grocery giant plans to build<br />
the supermarket at 157 Levi Rd,<br />
where it will include parking for<br />
500 vehicles and five new vehicle<br />
access points, and employment<br />
for up to 260 staff.<br />
About 50 submissions were<br />
received for the resource consent<br />
application. While supporters<br />
were looking forward to cheaper<br />
groceries and more competition<br />
in the town, objectors were concerned<br />
about an increase in traffic<br />
congestion, noise from heavy<br />
vehicles and the supermarket’s<br />
mechanical services plant and car<br />
park, visual effects from signage,<br />
light spill from external lighting,<br />
and adverse effects from earthworks<br />
during construction.<br />
District council group manager<br />
growth and development Tim<br />
Harris said the decision was<br />
subject to conditions around construction<br />
and operation, ensuring<br />
minimum disruption to neighbours<br />
and to address concerns<br />
raised in submissions.<br />
An appeal period is now open<br />
to submitters until <strong>October</strong> 20.<br />

Bledisloe Cup just the medicine<br />
• By Barry Clarke<br />
IT CONTAINS 48 stubbies<br />
and it was filled four times –<br />
deservedly – after the All Blacks<br />
breathtaking win over Australia<br />
in Melbourne.<br />
And now the time-honoured<br />
Bledisloe Cup has been toasted<br />
by rugby and sports fans in<br />
Lincoln.<br />
The cup had pride of place<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community<br />
Pharmacy last week. News of its<br />
temporary home spread quickly<br />
around the township.<br />
“It’s been unbelievable,”<br />
pharmacist Dave Wyatt told the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
“There’s disbelief that it’s actually<br />
the genuine Bledisloe Cup.<br />
It’s not a fake or a look-a-like.<br />
The size of it . . . I can’t believe<br />
how big it is.”<br />
So how did the cup get<br />
from Melbourne after the<br />
All Blacks nail-biting<br />
controversial 39-37 win, and the<br />
40-14 thumping of the Aussies<br />
at Eden Park on Saturday, to<br />
Lincoln?<br />
Over a couple of beers.<br />
Wyatt is a neighbour of Jason<br />
Ryan, one of the All Blacks assistant<br />
coaches. They both live in<br />
Lincoln.<br />
When the All Blacks<br />
had returned to their respective<br />
parts of the country, Ryan<br />
and Wyatt caught up for a<br />
beer.<br />
Said Wyatt: “Jase texted me<br />
and said ‘pop over for a beer’.<br />
Jase cracked open a beer and we<br />
went through to the next room<br />
and there’s the Bledisloe Cup! I<br />
thought: ‘Jeepers, how good is<br />
that’.”<br />
Wyatt was told the cup can<br />
take 48 stubbies and during<br />
the post match celebrations in<br />

So when the pharmacy re-opened<br />

Wyatt and his staff are big rugby<br />

He was also left wondering<br />
what police were waiting for as<br />
the teen had about 44 charges.<br />
“Still our law and order says<br />
we have to give him a chance to<br />
be a better person. Within six<br />
months, 44 crimes he (committed),<br />
so why are you waiting for<br />
the 45th?”<br />
Mehta had a simple answer:<br />
“If you do the crime, you need to<br />
face it and that’s what I told the<br />
boy.”<br />
The youths would not stop<br />
while they believed “no one can<br />
touch (them),” Mehta said.<br />
Mehta’s business had been<br />
ram-raided three times and had<br />
been the target of an armed robbery.<br />
The robbery happened in late<br />
August when teenagers – the<br />
youngest who has been identified<br />
as 10 – burst into the shop armed<br />
with a spanner at about 7pm one<br />
evening.<br />
They tried to strike his wife but<br />
she avoided the blows by pushing<br />
a Covid screen at the offenders.<br />
Their toddler was in the back of<br />
the shop and Mehta was visiting<br />
a patient at Christchurch Hospital<br />
at the time.<br />
When Mehta asked for a trespass<br />
notice for the four offenders<br />
police had identified, he was told<br />
the notices had been given.<br />
But when he asked for photographs<br />
of the boys so he would<br />
know who to stop, police would<br />
not give them to him.<br />
The offenders had been wearing<br />
masks and hoods, he said.<br />
How would his wife know who<br />
they were if they walked into<br />
their shop again?<br />
He asked the boy at the conference<br />
why he did it. The teen<br />
replied he did it for fun and for<br />
social media videos.<br />
‘If you do the crime, you<br />
need to face it and that’s<br />
what I told the boy.’<br />
– Sangeet Mehta<br />
Mehta said he would not be<br />
waiting for an email regarding<br />
the outcome as he honestly believed<br />
nothing would happen.<br />
He also wondered who was<br />
helping business owners hit by<br />
ram-raiders. He had to fix the<br />
door and the wall, and install a<br />
steel gate and bollards. He had to<br />
pull back his open hours because<br />
of safety concerns.<br />
“I’m losing my business. Who<br />
is it affecting? Me. Why? Because<br />

Bollards have been installed<br />
outside the Prebbleton<br />
Dairy.<br />
of youth, and we’re still thinking<br />
about ‘oh, we should have to give<br />
him another chance to become a<br />
nicer person’.”<br />
Mehta queried why he should<br />
have to pay insurance excess and<br />
fix everything when he was the<br />
victim.<br />
He said all of the dairy owners<br />
around him who had been hit<br />
were tired of being left to pick<br />
up the pieces without more help<br />
from the Government or action<br />
from the police.<br />
When asked if he was still<br />
intending to sell his business,<br />
Mehta noted that “millions of<br />
dairies want to sell but no one<br />
will buy”.<br />
“If I know your car is going to<br />
break down next year, is anyone<br />
going to buy?” he said.<br />
Anglers out<br />
CANTERBURY anglers were out<br />
in force on Saturday to fish the<br />
first day of the new season.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 1 is always the start<br />
of the new season, and this year<br />
it fell on a Saturday and was<br />
also the first day of the school<br />
holidays.<br />
This made opening day in the<br />
region a popular family affair in<br />
many instances.<br />
Fish & Game New Zealand<br />
rangers were out checking<br />
compliance and reported a lot of<br />
anglers from the top of the Lewis<br />
Pass all the way down to the<br />
Waitaki River.<br />
The weather was great for fishing,<br />
frosty but clear, throughout<br />
the region and many anglers travelled<br />
hours to fish their favourite<br />
spots.<br />
Canterbury angler Neil Goldie<br />
braved the early morning frost<br />
to fish the Waimakariri River<br />
mouth.<br />
Trying first for a sea-run<br />
salmon, Goldie said: “It’s a<br />
little bit early for a salmon, but<br />
with warmer temperatures at<br />
sea in summer, there’s a chance<br />
of a salmon taking advantage of<br />
the cooler waters now to make a<br />
run.<br />

Under the Water Services Act 2021, councils must chlorinate public<br />
drinking water supplies by 15 November <strong>2022</strong>. <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council has<br />
started applying for exemptions for its previously unchlorinated supplies<br />
and is expecting feedback on these applications from Taumata Arowai in<br />
early 2023.<br />
If you’re on a water supply that isn’t currently chlorinated, we will be<br />
installing chlorination in order to comply with the law as per the<br />
below timetable.<br />

“With it being the second year<br />
of the sea-run salmon season bag<br />
limit and the harvest card, you<br />
have to selectively harvest your<br />
salmon, so fishing in cooler waters<br />
will be great for the fish if you<br />
need to release it.<br />
“The sea-run salmon fishery has<br />
moved to more of a sports fishery<br />
than a harvest fishery as anglers<br />
do their bit to help the recovery of<br />
the fishery,” Goldie said.<br />
Trout anglers in the Te Waihora/Lake<br />
Ellesmere area were out<br />
in numbers.<br />
The scenic Harts Creek was<br />
popular as the day progressed,<br />
with many anglers trying to tempt<br />
the elusive fish inhabiting the<br />
creek.<br />
With Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere<br />
open to the sea at the moment,<br />
the Halswell, L2, <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Rivers and Harts Creek were enticing<br />
for many sea-run trout that<br />
have entered the lake, making the<br />
area a popular spot for anglers.<br />
Central South Island Fish &<br />
Game officer Nicola Dellaway<br />
spent her first day on the job with<br />
colleagues checking licences on<br />
Lake Opuha, South Canterbury.<br />
Forty anglers were checked,<br />
mostly boat anglers but a few<br />
shore-based. This was a typical<br />
number for this popular opening<br />
day destination, with many travelling<br />
from as far as Dunedin and<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The fishing was excellent, with<br />
most anglers catching two or<br />
three brown or rainbow trout for<br />
the dinner table.<br />
Below State Highway 1 at<br />
the Opihi River, father and son<br />
anglers, Stephen and Alfie Henly,<br />
went out on an opening day mission.<br />
In spite of the frosty start, they<br />
both had luck, catching and<br />
releasing some trout caught on<br />
soft-bait lures.<br />
Jet boat-based fishing is a<br />
tradition on the Waitaki River<br />
for opening, and there were at<br />
least 18 boats on the river in the<br />
morning. Shore-based anglers<br />
near Kurow were also successful –<br />
mainly on rainbow trout around<br />
700gm.<br />

ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY<br />
HEALTHY WATER<br />
HEALTHY PEOPLE<br />
Water is the single issue on which I stand.<br />
Having attended several “meet the candidate” events which included<br />
both District and Regional Council candidates, it is clear a majority of<br />
those attending are concerned about the state of our freshwater.<br />
Environment Canterbury (Ecan), the Canterbury Regional Council, has<br />
accountabilities to maintain or enhance the quantity and quality of<br />
Canterbury’s freshwater, aquatic ecosystems, and coastal waters.<br />
District Councils are responsible for ensuring community water<br />
supplies are safe. District Councils are firmly in the sights of the Three<br />
Waters Bill and the chlorination mandate following the failure of<br />
the Ministry of Health and Hastings District Council to protect 14,000<br />
residents of Havelock North from death and illness due to waterborne<br />
disease.<br />
If Ecan were effective in protecting Canterbury’s freshwater at source,<br />
chlorination and the Three Waters Bill would be less of an issue.<br />
Unfortunately previous Governments have long failed to give<br />
direction to Ecan. Worse from 2010 until the end of 2019 the<br />
Government appointed its own commissioners to take control of<br />
Ecan to facilitate massive irrigation development in response to<br />
the 2008 recession. This irrigation development paid little heed to<br />
the environmental consequences for our iconic braided rivers and<br />
groundwater sourced lowland rivers and streams.<br />
Rural residents limited to drinking from private wells are left to meet<br />
the high cost of removing the pathogens and nitrate that is leaching<br />
into our shallow aquifers due to diffuse pollution from intensive<br />
farming systems, especially dairying.<br />
If action is not taken soon to prevent contamination of the deeper<br />
semi-confined aquifer layers, community water supplies will be<br />
similarly affected. This has already<br />
occurred with community water<br />
supplies at the South Rangitata Huts<br />
and with the Morven water supply.<br />
For as long as Ecan has a majority<br />
on the council whose wealth is linked<br />
to irrigation and the right to diffusely<br />
pollute our groundwater, “democratic<br />
reality” will ensure the status quo<br />
remains.<br />
As a fifth generation New Zealander, angler, and rural veterinarian for<br />
48 years, I have witnessed the massive degradation of our rivers first<br />
hand. I am asking ratepayers from the towns within the <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
Ashburton ward to consider voting for the sake of future generations<br />
rather than the short term economic benefits of Ecan’s unsustainable<br />
water management plan.<br />
Ecan has spent $NZ 60 million on its LWRP based on what farmers are<br />
prepared to accommodate rather than environmentally sustainable<br />
limits for nitrate pollution and environmentally sustainable residual<br />
flows for our rivers and streams. Recent Government guidelines<br />
will require an additional $30 million to update the plan to new<br />
standards. Let us take the time and care to get it right this time rather<br />
than set limits that accommodate short term unsustainable farming<br />
practices.<br />
Swimmable rivers and pure drinking water are priceless.<br />

A FUNDRAISER for popular<br />
Motukurara harness racing<br />
owner-trainer Murray<br />
Edmonds has been labelled<br />
a massive, and at times<br />
emotional, success.<br />
More<br />
than 300<br />
people were<br />
involved in<br />
the sell-out<br />
dinner at<br />
the Silks at<br />
Addington<br />
Raceway on<br />
Murray<br />
Edmonds<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Huge support for popular trainer<br />
September<br />
22, with<br />
thousands<br />
of dollars also raised through<br />
raffles and more than 50 auctions.<br />
The function was organised<br />
by Stevie Golding, Sandi<br />
Curtin and Murray’s niece<br />
Aimee Edmonds, after the recent<br />
news that Edmonds had<br />
been diagnosed with a brain<br />
tumour.<br />
Edmonds was at the function<br />
along with family and<br />
friends from all over the<br />
country. Clearly touched by<br />
the occasion he described the<br />
night as “pretty unreal”.<br />
“We are just over the<br />
moon,” said Golding, who<br />
also emceed the night. “Everyone<br />
enjoyed themselves,<br />
and there were so many kind<br />
words.”<br />
GOOD CAUSE: This Dexter Dunn racing suit was auctioned off at the sell-out<br />
fundraiser for Murray Edmonds at Addington Raceway.<br />
While it was emotional and<br />
heartfelt at times it also had its<br />
raucous moments, none more<br />
so than when it looked like<br />
one of the Edmonds-trained<br />
runners was going to win<br />
race 5.<br />
Watching Our Coin was<br />
ahead with 100 to go, only<br />
to be beaten on the line by<br />
Rakanotta.<br />
“Man – everyone was yelling<br />
at the top of their lungs.<br />
I’ve never been in a louder<br />
room during a horse race, it<br />
was unreal.<br />
“It was just a fantastic<br />
night,” said Curtin.<br />
“The number of items that<br />
were donated by people, some<br />
of them didn’t even know<br />
Muzz, but they could see it<br />
was such a good cause.”<br />
One example of that<br />
generosity came just hours<br />
before the function. Golding<br />
was picking up some items<br />
when he met up with Gary<br />
Roberts from Sulky Wheels in<br />
Templeton. On hearing what<br />
Golding was up to Roberts<br />
donated a work sulky. It sold<br />
for $2800.<br />
Other popular items included<br />
a signed Kiwis Anzac<br />
rugby league jersey that sold<br />
for $2400, a signed Dexter<br />
Dunn racing suit ($2300), a<br />
Marcoola service fee ($2100),<br />
and an old Phar Lap photo<br />
($2200).<br />
An offer by Robbie and<br />
Carla Holmes to break in a<br />
yearling was also sought after,<br />
going for $2300.<br />
Some items raised a few<br />
laughs, including a fishing<br />
trip with Golding himself that<br />
went for $2000 (bought by<br />
David Butt) and Mark Purdon<br />
buying a case of pinot noir<br />
donated by brother Barry for<br />
$2000.<br />
A final tally up for the night<br />
is still a few days away – but<br />
the night achieved all it set out<br />
to do, and more.<br />
“We can’t thank everyone<br />
enough, the people at<br />
Addington and everyone who<br />
was involved,” said Golding,<br />
“it was amazing.”<br />

Rising costs<br />
see businesses<br />
put up prices<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
MANY SELWYN businesses are<br />
raising their prices to customers<br />
in the face of increasing costs.<br />
Impacts of rising costs<br />
nationally and internationally<br />
were shown up starkly in results<br />
from the recent six-monthly<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Survey,<br />
organised by the district council.<br />
It was undertaken in August,<br />
and 107 businesses responded.<br />
Eighty-four per cent reported<br />
increased costs. In line with this,<br />
44 per cent of businesses said<br />
they had increased prices in the<br />
past six months, and similar<br />
numbers expected to increase<br />
prices again in the coming<br />
months.<br />
Business investment in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
was lower over the past six<br />
months, with six per cent of<br />
businesses investing, compared<br />
to 15 per cent in the previous six<br />
months.<br />
There were 21 per cent of<br />
businesses that reported reduced<br />
profits over the previous six<br />
months, while 11 per cent<br />
reported falling sales and four<br />
per cent reduced staff.<br />
At the same time, 18 per cent<br />
of businesses were expecting<br />
their profits to increase over the<br />
next six months, 18 per cent were<br />
expecting to increase investment<br />
in the next six months, and 11<br />
per cent were intending to hire<br />
new staff.<br />
District council group<br />
manager community services<br />
and facilities Denise Kidd said it<br />
was good to see businesses had<br />
a positive outlook in spite of the<br />
economic challenges.<br />
“It’s particularly pleasing to<br />
see businesses reporting that<br />
they’re planning to hire and<br />
invest over next six months. It<br />
shows the underlying strength of<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> economy that even in<br />
tougher times our businesses are<br />
generally holding up well,” Kidd<br />
said.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Printing Company<br />
owner Derek Smith said he was<br />
increasing prices where possible<br />
in response to rising costs, but<br />
had lost clients doing this.<br />
Figuring out the formula<br />
Five-year-old Arlo Stinson of Lincoln feeds kunekune piglet Spot at Lincoln University’s<br />
annual community day last week, assisted by Brooke Kenyon. About 2000 people attended.<br />
“In the print industry, it’s quite<br />
competitive in the high value<br />
jobs,” Smith said.<br />
The last six months had been<br />
“unbelievably tough”.<br />
As well as increasing costs,<br />
about 20 per cent of his staff had<br />
been away sick on any given day<br />
since May. Levels of illness with<br />
winter bugs and other ailments<br />
was still high in the wake of<br />
Covid.<br />
The company had 12 staff<br />
across three offices, at Lincoln,<br />
Rolleston and Christchurch, and<br />
was advertising for more.<br />
Nevertheless, he generally had<br />
good business confidence and<br />
was optimistic about the future.<br />
“The economy seems to have<br />
held better than what I was<br />
expecting,” he said. “The demand<br />
is there at the moment, we are<br />
just struggling to fulfil it.”<br />
Power poles<br />
check-up<br />
We’ve started our routine, power poles<br />
inspection programme across the<br />
Banks Peninsula area.<br />
We are proactively checking 4,500 power<br />
poles throughout Akaroa, Lincoln and<br />
Springston. The inspection is underway<br />
and will be carried out over the next few<br />
months, wrapping up in January 2023.<br />
Where poles need to be replaced, power<br />
outages may be necessary to carry out<br />
the work safely. In those cases, we will let<br />
the affected people know ahead of time.<br />
If we need to access private property to<br />
inspect power poles, Orion will contact<br />
landowners.<br />
Thank you for your understanding as<br />
we ensure we continue to deliver a safe,<br />
reliable and resilient network.<br />
If you have any questions, please do not<br />

FUDGE CAKES, caramel slices,<br />
Belgian slices and hot fluffy<br />
scones.<br />
This enticing array, and more,<br />
is set to cover the kitchen bench<br />
at the Leeston home of Wilma<br />
Grant, as she prepares to enter<br />
the Ellesmere A&P Association’s<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Spring Show.<br />
The show is returning to its full<br />
glory this year. The 150th jubilee<br />
show was canned in 2020 due to<br />
the pandemic, while the postponed<br />
150th jubilee show was<br />
held with restricted classes and<br />
for exhibitors only last year.<br />
“It’s good to get back into it,”<br />
Wilma said.<br />
After about 30 years of entering<br />
the home industries sections<br />
of cooking, knitting and cut<br />
flowers, she had missed these<br />
when they were not held for the<br />
last two years.<br />
Wilma, 73, said in earlier years<br />
she could have 20 or so entries.<br />
She had won dozens of prize<br />
cards and prizes, and claimed<br />
many trophies, over the years.<br />
Among her highlights was receiving<br />
a medal at the royal show<br />
of 2008.<br />
Her family had four generations<br />
of entering the show. Her<br />
mother Joyce Hillyer entered<br />
once with a chocolate cake, while<br />
her three children and grandchildren<br />
entered many a category as<br />
youngsters.<br />
This year Wilma had about 10<br />
entries in baking and knitting,<br />
and would be entering cut flowers<br />
closer to the day. She said the busy<br />
week leading up to the event would<br />
all be worth it come show day.<br />

“It’s a great family time, to be<br />
out and about and meet different<br />

“And I just love to see other<br />

THE DISTRICT council and<br />
the Hororata Community Trust<br />
have signed a memorandum<br />
of understanding around the<br />
creation of a community hub in<br />
the township.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton<br />
signed the memorandum<br />
last week confirming<br />
the district council will<br />
transfer the Hororata<br />
Community Hall and<br />
surrounding endowment<br />
land to the trust, along<br />
with a $1 million grant to<br />
support the trust building<br />
a new community<br />
hub.<br />
The memorandum underlines<br />
that the district council and the<br />
trust will work together and<br />
are committed to an ongoing<br />
partnership in relation to<br />
achieving positive outcomes<br />
for the Hororata community.<br />
It commits to beginning work<br />
on the new hub within the next<br />
four years.<br />
Said district council chief<br />

and the trust for a number of<br />
years with a view to building a<br />

“The district council<br />
is excited to have this<br />

Elaine takes top award<br />
ELLESMERE TENNIS Sub<br />
Association member Elaine<br />
Rodley has been recognised in<br />
Tennis Canterbury’s annual<br />
awards.<br />
Rodley was named<br />
Administrator of the Year<br />
for the 2021/<strong>2022</strong> season,<br />
in acknowledgement of her<br />
multiple roles at the sub<br />
association, where she has been<br />
involved for more than 14 years.<br />
Treasurer Tracy Henderson<br />
said the award was well<br />
deserved. Rodley was the sub<br />
association’s statistician for<br />
both the senior and junior interclub.<br />
Her integral knowledge<br />
of Tennis New Zealand Match<br />
Hub software meant she had<br />
been able to quickly manoeuvre<br />
draws throughout the pandemic,<br />
ensuring a full season for<br />
players.<br />
In addition, she was an<br />
active and valued member of<br />
the Ellesmere management<br />
committee, competitions<br />
committee, and junior advisory<br />
committee, where she supported<br />
all clubs ensuring players were<br />
involved in games each week<br />
and at tournaments.<br />
“In her spare time she updates<br />
the Ellesmere senior, junior<br />
websites and Facebook as part<br />
of a team. She also plays a lot of<br />
tennis!”<br />
ADMINISTRATOR OF THE YEAR: Ellesmere Tennis Sub<br />
Association president Belinda Edmond (left) congratulates<br />
Elaine Rodley on her award.<br />
Relationship to form<br />
between council and<br />
Te Taumutu Rūnanga<br />
THE DISTRICT council and Te<br />
Taumutu Rūnanga will sign a<br />
formal relationship agreement<br />
next month.<br />
At its fortnightly meeting last<br />
week, the district council voted<br />
to sign the agreement between<br />
itself and Te Taumutu Rūnanga,<br />
following on from long-running<br />
discussions.<br />
The agreement encourages<br />
continuing strong relationships,<br />
while acknowledging the<br />
commitments of both to work<br />
together and grow a new age of<br />
local government, reflecting the<br />
role of mana whenua as a treaty<br />
partner of the Crown.<br />
District council chief<br />
executive David Ward said the<br />
document was a stepping stone<br />
on the journey of relationship<br />
between the district council<br />
and mana whenua. It was<br />
intended to be the first of potentially<br />
a number of similar agreements<br />
with mana whenua and<br />
tangata whenua for Waikirikiri/<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
“This is something we’ve been<br />
working on for a while and it<br />
will be a special day to finalise<br />
a lot of hard work when we sign<br />
this document. It will also be<br />
special to move to the next stage,<br />
developing the opportunities<br />
that exist for us to work in partnership<br />
for Waikirikiri/<strong>Selwyn</strong>,”<br />
Ward said.<br />
It would be an enabling<br />
document which recognised the<br />
role and responsibilities of both<br />
rūnanga and the district council<br />
across the district.<br />

A&P SHOW: Cassels Brewery has come on board as the<br />
anchor sponsor of the NZ Agricultural Show.<br />
Cassels Brewery major show sponsor<br />
THE CANTERBURY A&P<br />
Association has signed beer<br />
brewer Cassels Brewery as the<br />
anchor sponsor for the show<br />
grounds.<br />
The deal comes with the local<br />
association needing to service<br />
a $1 million loan from the city<br />
council.<br />
The 10-year loan was provided<br />
to the organisers of the NZ<br />
Agricultural Show following the<br />
Covid lockdowns and the effects<br />
on income with no spectators for<br />
the last two NZ shows.<br />
Show general manager Tracy<br />
Ahern said the three-year<br />
deal with Cassels Brewery is<br />
crucial for the future of the<br />
association.<br />
“Without the support, we<br />
would be struggling to meet our<br />
key performance indicators to<br />
pay back our loan that we owe to<br />
the council,” said Ahern.<br />
“We are very excited to have<br />
them on board . . . a local iconic<br />
brand like our own.”<br />
Cassels Brewery will feature<br />
prominently at the show, the<br />
biggest week of the year in<br />
Christchurch, from November<br />
9-11.<br />
“They will be on our members’<br />
marquee . . . on our corporate<br />
hosting and they are bringing<br />
their Cassels bus along, which<br />
will be exciting,” said Ahern.<br />
There will also be the Cassels<br />
Baabaa bar and evening<br />
entertainment for the first time<br />
at the show, from Tuesday to<br />
Friday night.<br />
“We have got TikiTane, lots of<br />
bands and music, mechanical<br />
bull, paint by numbers,” said<br />
Ahern.<br />
There will also be a BBQ<br />
competition.<br />
While Ahern won’t reveal how<br />
much the sponsorship deal is<br />
worth for commercial reasons,<br />
she says it is “significant”.<br />
“We can’t rely on one week of<br />
income a year.<br />
“Our challenge is to put<br />
Canterbury A&P Association<br />
and the show in a far sounder<br />
financial position by forming<br />
new relationships with<br />
businesses that share our vision.”<br />
Cassels Brewery chief<br />
executive Marshall Moir says<br />
they are thrilled to support<br />
CAPA and to help bring the A&P<br />
show back to the community.<br />
“As a family-owned<br />
Christchurch business, we’re<br />
really excited by the plans the<br />
show team have for this year.<br />
The focus on local, quality and<br />
craftsmanship are the values that<br />
are most important to us,” said<br />
Moir.<br />
It was only six months ago<br />
Cassels Brewery lost its company<br />
founder and developer Alasdair<br />
Cassels.<br />
The 71-year-old died in April.<br />
Cassels is well known for his<br />
investment in the brewery after<br />
the 2011 earthquake and after<br />
100 days their structurally sound<br />
but broken brewery was reborn<br />
to include a bar, café, music<br />
venue and restaurant.<br />

Rolleston’s Rotary centenary a glam affair<br />
THE ROARING twenties came to<br />
Rolleston on Saturday night, as Rolleston<br />
Rotary Club celebrated 100 years of<br />
Rotary in New Zealand at a glamorous<br />
ball.<br />
The Gatsby Ball was held at Rolleston<br />
College’s auditorium, which was transformed<br />
complete with dance floor, round<br />
tables, and music from 10-piece band<br />
Sound Sensation.<br />
President David Lewes was happy with<br />
the high turnout of about 220 guests to<br />
the event, which had been postponed<br />
from last year.<br />
“What was remarkable was seeing the<br />
young demographic of those in attendance,<br />
enjoying a fantastic night out, all in<br />
the name of showcasing an organisation<br />
that unites individuals and sees people<br />
creating lasting change within their communities,”<br />
Lewes said.<br />
He said he and fellow ball goers had<br />
been in awe of the skill of a group of<br />
Rolleston College senior hospitality students,<br />
who catered for the evening.<br />
Funds raised would be distributed back<br />
into the community through various<br />
initiatives and projects.<br />

Inaugural festival celebrates all<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
A DREAM became reality as<br />
dancers jived and jitterbugged their<br />
way around the dance floor at the<br />
inaugural Vintage Fest NZ, held at<br />
the Lincoln Event Centre over the<br />
long weekend.<br />
The brand new event was the<br />
brainchild of Rolleston’s Sharvelle<br />
Mackay, a long-time fan of all<br />
things vintage.<br />
“This was an opportunity to put<br />
the love of vintage into one place<br />
and make a really prestigious event<br />
for all of our vintage lovers,” she<br />
said.<br />
The festival showcased everything<br />
vintage, with the theme of wartime<br />
and the victory era. Classic car and<br />
military vehicles were on display,<br />
along with vintage stall-holders and<br />
a best dressed pageant.<br />
Mackay said she worked with<br />
her fellow committee members<br />
for a year-and-a-half to create the<br />
community event, but admits to a<br />
few sleepless nights.<br />
“It costs a lot of money to put on<br />
an event like this, and to have the<br />
money up front, to be able to pay<br />
for certain things has been quite<br />
difficult. So that has definitely been<br />
our biggest challenge”.<br />
Any proceeds will be reinvested<br />
back into next year’s event, which<br />
she hints might have an ‘old<br />
Hollywood’ theme.<br />

Harry happy to be back horse riding<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
SIX YEARS ago, Harry<br />
Priestley got frustrated and<br />
walked away from his horse<br />
riding programme.<br />
However, the 11-year-old has<br />
marked his second participation<br />
in a dressage event at the<br />
Christchurch equestrian centre<br />
in late September.<br />
Harry was among 10 riders<br />
of varying ages and disabilities<br />
taking part in the event organised<br />
by Christchurch Riding for<br />
the Disabled.<br />
Because the event focused on<br />
the rider achieving the goal of<br />
completing the test and getting<br />
marked on the completion, each<br />
participant received a certificate<br />
and a score sheet.<br />
Said CHCHRDA president<br />
Philippa Parker: “We make it as<br />
fun and relaxed as possible.”<br />
All participants have been<br />
attending weekly sessions prior<br />
to the event, with each session<br />
tailoring to their specific needs<br />
and personal goals.<br />
Harry was diagnosed with<br />
autism when he was three.<br />
Said his mother Rachel: “For<br />
Harry and the way that his<br />
brain works, it’s about what<br />
Harry wants and what Harry<br />
needs. But as humans, we need<br />
to learn how to work with other<br />
people.”<br />
Harry is enrolled in two<br />
programmes – education and<br />
sport and recreation, where he<br />
gets to learn about horse riding<br />
and challenges himself with<br />
exercises require teamwork.<br />
“Everyone has helped me in<br />
all different ways,” he said.<br />
“I used to get really, really angry<br />
but now I don’t get angry at<br />
all. Well, I’m better at managing<br />
my anger than I used to.”<br />
The organisation also offers a<br />
therapy programme for riders<br />
who have higher support needs,<br />
ranging from building muscle<br />
strength to improving walking<br />
ability.<br />
Harry began the riding sessions<br />
with New Zealand Riding<br />
for the Disabled at five-yearsold.<br />
However, his sessions have<br />
been on and off due to high<br />
demands.<br />
Like many riders, he started<br />
with a small pony and worked<br />
his way up. After many years, he<br />
is finally paired with Zeus – a<br />
‘big and tall’ horse.<br />
When Harry first walked in<br />
with his new horse, Parker said<br />
he looked proud of himself.<br />
“Zeus challenges Harry to<br />
work with it. That horse can<br />
be independent if it wants to,<br />
so Harry has to make sure that<br />
the horse is listening to the<br />
instruction.”<br />
GOAL: Harry<br />
Priestley marked<br />
his second<br />
participation in a<br />
dressage event at<br />
Christchurch Riding<br />
for the Disabled<br />
in September. He<br />
was proud when he<br />
finally got paired up<br />
with his new horse<br />
Zeus (left).<br />

Term 3 Update<br />
Principal’s Message<br />
What a busy term it has been!<br />
Term three has seen learners participating<br />
in a wide variety of activities including<br />
Exhibition Night, Rolleston X Factor,<br />
Tournament Week and the Senior Film<br />
Festival.<br />
Our Yr 10 learners have been busy piloting<br />
the Literacy and Numeracy exams. The<br />
idea of a pilot is to provide data, give<br />
feedback and to iron out issues and make<br />
modifications. The school’s participation<br />
contributes valuable feedback to the<br />
Ministry of Education and NZQA to ensure<br />
that exams are pitched at the correct level<br />
before they are launched nationwide.<br />
Senior learners have been busy with mock<br />
exams which provide an opportunity to<br />
practice under exam conditions for the<br />
NCEA exams in<br />
November and<br />
we have been<br />
impressed<br />
by the efforts<br />
of our senior<br />
learners in<br />
their approach<br />
to these exams.<br />
Progress continues<br />
both on the extension to the current<br />
campus and on the new campus and<br />
we are planning to hold another series<br />
of meetings in term 4 to present back<br />
on progress made. There are certainly<br />
some very exciting things on the horizon<br />
that we look forward to sharing with our<br />
community in term 4.<br />
Rachel Skelton, Principal<br />
Police vs<br />
Student day<br />
We had a great day hosting<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Police in 5 different<br />
events for the now annual<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Police Vs Students<br />
day. These events were Touch<br />
Rugby, Basketball, Netball,<br />
debating and a “chase” styled<br />
quiz. The students took it out<br />
3 - 2 with wins in all 3 sports<br />
while the Police won both the<br />
quiz and the debate. A massive<br />
thanks to Officer Glenn<br />
Dawson who helped organise<br />
the event with school.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Cadets<br />
runs at Rolleston<br />

AN EVENT showcasing<br />
British-made cars has been<br />
held to commemorate the<br />
reign of Queen Elizabeth<br />
II.<br />
The line-up included a<br />
1981 Ford Cortina 2.0L<br />
owned by West Melton’s<br />
Zac Haywood.<br />
The car was purchased<br />
new by Haywood’s greatgrandfather,<br />
Aleck Blank,<br />
of Yaldhurst, and restored<br />
by Haywood after it had<br />
been left unused, parked in<br />
a shed for years.<br />
The display was organised<br />
by Trevor Stanley-<br />
Joblin, of Amberley, and<br />
it was held at his Spring<br />
Classic Car gathering at<br />
Leithfield’s Better Half<br />
Kitchen and Bar.<br />
‘‘It was a special, one-off<br />
event, to commemorate<br />
the Queen,’’ Trevor says.<br />
‘‘I asked drivers of<br />
all British vehicles,<br />
irrespective of being classic<br />
or not, to attend. We had<br />
106 classic cars in total and<br />
around 50 of those were<br />
British,’’<br />
The show also included<br />
two Triumphs owned by<br />
a Christchurch father and<br />
son.<br />
Yanni Woods had his<br />
Triumph 1973 GT6 Mk3<br />
on show, while his son,<br />

Now’s the time to PowerUp your career<br />
ŌTAUTAHI businesses are<br />
facing a major skills shortage.<br />
Border closures plus strong<br />
economic growth has meant a<br />
record number of jobs advertised<br />
online – up 33 per cent over the<br />
last year.<br />
Approximately 20,000 women<br />
are either underemployed or<br />
underutilised in the workforce,<br />
a statistic that kickstarted<br />
ChristchurchNZ’s PowerUp<br />
initiative to support more<br />
women into work.<br />
PowerUp is centred<br />
around an information hub<br />
at powerupyourcareer.co.nz<br />
and is focussed on supporting<br />
Canterbury women into<br />
work and arming them with<br />
knowledge and tools to make<br />
informed choices about their<br />
career path. It also offers<br />
support to local employers<br />
through a pilot series of<br />
workshops around diversity,<br />
equity and inclusion.<br />
It is fronted by four<br />
Christchurch women who share<br />
relatable, inspiring stories about<br />
overcoming challenges in their<br />
careers.<br />
For Dale Jackson, low<br />
confidence and an overwhelming<br />
job hunt held her back after<br />
redundancy and, with support<br />
from a career coach, she had<br />
to work hard to rediscover her<br />
value.<br />
“My career coach changed my<br />
life. She got my confidence to<br />

showing me that it was all about part of why the hub offers a lot<br />

at ChristchurchNZ said groups right for them, whether they be<br />
like Dress For Success can be jobseekers, career changers or<br />
new to Christchurch,” Karen<br />
said.<br />
Ceryse Scott agrees that a<br />
regionalised information hub<br />
would’ve been the perfect place<br />
for her. After losing her job due<br />
to Covid, she spent a long time<br />
searching for inspiration and the<br />
right job.<br />
Now settled in her role as a<br />
case manager for the Ministry<br />
of Social Development, Ceryse<br />
credits support networks that<br />
gave her insights into people and<br />
diverse groups and built on her<br />
passion for community work.<br />
Through these Ceryse developed<br />
a portfolio of transferable skills.<br />
Gazelle Lowcay and Angela<br />
Godenho complete the group of<br />
four and have powerful messages<br />
for women looking for work or<br />
thinking about changing career<br />
direction.<br />
Gazelle, a migrant from the<br />
Philippines, retrained in IT after<br />
eight years as a nurse and now<br />
works as a software developer<br />
for Jade Software. Gazelle says<br />
it’s a really supportive work<br />
environment for women and she<br />
feels empowered.<br />
Mother of three Angela was<br />
apprehensive about returning<br />
to work and assumed a work/<br />
life balance wasn’t on the cards.<br />
But her employer, Warren and<br />
Mahoney, have embraced her<br />
part-time hours and Angela says<br />
workplaces are becoming more<br />
family friendly.<br />
“Mums probably get more done<br />
in a day than many get done in<br />
three. We’re really driven and<br />
that’s becoming more valued and<br />
appreciated. You just have to back<br />
yourself, women are prone to<br />
imposter syndrome so it’s really<br />
important to get the right support<br />
and information to help get back<br />
on your feet,” Angela said.<br />

Community funding available<br />
Groups planning an activity or event that will help make <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
an even better place to live, work and play are being encouraged to<br />
apply for the Council’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund supports initiatives that contribute<br />
to community wellbeing, bring communities together and attract<br />
visitors to the district. Applications for the second round of funding<br />
are open until Monday 31 <strong>October</strong>.<br />
Since establishing in 2018, the fund has supported a range of<br />
sports, arts and music events, groups or activities that benefit<br />
the district.<br />
Rolleston Brass, a community-based band, is one of these groups.<br />
Last few days – get your<br />
votes in and have your say<br />
Voters in <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s local elections have just a few days left to get their votes in.<br />
The deadline for voting is 12 midday this Saturday, 8 <strong>October</strong> – and all votes must be in the<br />
Council’s hands by then to be counted.<br />
The best option this week is to drop voting papers into a Council ballot box. These are<br />
available all week at the Council’s Rolleston offices, libraries and most Council facilities, right<br />
up to 12 midday on Saturday.<br />
Anyone who hasn’t received voting papers, or who has moved since they last enrolled, can<br />
apply for a special vote by contacting the Council on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or email<br />
electoral.officer@selwyn.govt.nz.<br />
Voters can also apply for a special vote at the Council offices, Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln<br />
libraries, and at Te Ara Ātea, during open hours.<br />
“There’s still time to vote, and we’re hoping to see more people getting their votes in over the<br />
next few days to have their say,” says deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill.<br />
“Voting is an important way residents can help shape <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s future. The people you vote<br />
for have a major say on how local services are planned and funded, and where the district’s<br />
priorities should be over the coming three years.”<br />
Initial results for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> elections are expected to be available on the Council website<br />
from mid-afternoon on Saturday, 8 <strong>October</strong>.<br />

Band Manager Leigh Martin says the fund made it possible to hire a<br />
space at Rolleston School for the group’s weekly rehearsals.<br />
“We try to offer music at a reasonable cost for people, so the grant<br />
was really helpful in covering our room hire.<br />
“We were quite fortunate to get into the Rolleston School. Many of<br />
our players are based in Rolleston, so it’s a perfect location for us.”<br />
Since establishing two years ago, Rolleston Brass has grown<br />
significantly, welcoming all ages to play and compete in<br />
competitions. The band has already competed in three competitions<br />
around the country, and also perform locally.<br />
“Being able to grow and provide something like this in our<br />
district is very satisfying,” Leigh says. “The Council has been<br />
really supportive.”<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s diversity celebrated at CultureFest<br />
The tastes, music, dance and customs of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s many cultures came together in a wonderful<br />
CultureFest celebration last month from 10-25 September.<br />
The festivities kicked off with an exciting day of<br />
performances, food and activities at Lincoln Domain on<br />
Sunday 11 September. A crowd of 3,000 festival-goers was<br />
treated to an array of delicious food stalls, and 12 ‘have a go’<br />
activities including Brazilian Jujitsu, Latin fire dance, Muay<br />
Thai kick boxing, and traditional Filipino street games. On<br />
the main stage, Polish folk dancing, kapa haka, West African<br />
drumming and a Bangladesh fashion show were some of<br />
the 21 performances to entertain the crowds.<br />
The festivities continued over the two weeks with 26<br />
activities and events held around the district.<br />
A Women’s Only night at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre was<br />
a big hit, as around 100 women came to learn about water<br />
safety and participate in an aqua fitness class.<br />
Twenty-six people sharpened their culinary skills at an<br />
Austrian sauerkraut and bratwurst workshop. Scottish<br />
dance, an intro to Bollywood dancing, Budo skills, a<br />
volunteer planting day, and an exhibition on immigrant journeys to Aotearoa were among the<br />
many other activities residents and visitors enjoyed across the festival.<br />
Group Manager Community Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says there was a real sense of<br />
pride and community across the festival.<br />
“It was wonderful to see people being so eager and excited to share their culture and customs<br />
with each other. They were really leading the experiences and offering a variety of ways for<br />
people to enjoy their cultures, which I think enhanced the festival even more. Thank you to all of<br />
the groups and contributors who helped make this year’s celebrations such a success.”<br />
The Council is already beginning preparations for CultureFest 2023, with plans to build on the<br />
popularity of the interactive activities.<br />
Protect your bike from theft with<br />
529 Garage<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents wanting to deter potential bike thieves or help find<br />
their bike if it is stolen are being encouraged to register their bike<br />
with the free 529 Garage service.<br />
Canterbury Police have teamed up with the community-powered<br />
bike recovery initiative in a bid to curb bike thefts and reunite<br />
owners with their stolen property. It follows a costly year for owners<br />
in 2021, with more than $2 million worth of bikes pinched and an<br />
average of four bikes a day reported stolen to Canterbury Police.<br />
The 529 Garage service works by recording a bike’s details,<br />
including serial numbers, photos and identifying features. This<br />
makes it easy for Police to identify stolen bikes and return them to<br />
their rightful owners.<br />
Once registered, owners can obtain a unique code on a tamperresistant<br />
shield to stick on their bike, which acts as a warning to<br />
would-be thieves that the bike is registered. Potential buyers can<br />
also search the database to check if a secondhand bike they’re<br />
looking at has been flagged as stolen.<br />
If stolen, bike owners can update the 529 Garage app, and a<br />
notification is sent to the local 529 Garage community, advising<br />
them to keep an eye out for the bike.<br />
The initiative is a collaboration between Canterbury Police, Project<br />
529, and Christchurch City Council, with Auckland and Wellington<br />
also participating.<br />
The 529 Garage app can be downloaded for free from the App Store<br />
and Google Play.<br />
Once registered, tamper-resistant shields can be obtained from<br />
Christchurch City Council or from several Christchurch bike stores.<br />

Milestone reached for Hororātā community hub<br />
The Council and the Hororātā Community Trust have signed a Memorandum of Understanding<br />
(MOU) around the creation of a community hub in the township.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton signed the MOU last week confirming the Council will transfer the<br />
Hororātā Community Hall and surrounding endowment land to the Trust, along with a grant of $1<br />
million to support the trust in building the new community hub.<br />
The Council has been working with the Hororātā community and with the Trust for a number<br />
of years, with a view to building a new community facility for the township, and the MOU is an<br />
important stage in that process, Council Chief Executive David Ward says.<br />
“The Council is excited to have this agreement in place, and confirm its support for the Trust to<br />
get the community facility built. A lot of hard work has gone into this from all sides to ensure<br />
Hororātā receives a facility that meets its needs now and into the future, and this is a positive step<br />
towards seeing that completed.”<br />
Hororata Community Trust Trustee Richard Lang said it was an important day for the Hororātā<br />
community. "We are looking forward to developing a vibrant community hub which will feature<br />
our areas heritage and celebrate our stories."<br />

Purdon perplexed after strange night<br />
• By Michael Guerin<br />
BLOOD TESTS could shed<br />
some light on just why punters<br />
got such a bleeding nose at<br />
Addington on Friday night.<br />
Top trainer<br />
Mark Purdon<br />
will have<br />
bloods taken<br />
from several<br />
of his team<br />
after a rollercoaster<br />
night<br />
Mark Purdon<br />
last Friday,<br />
which most<br />
expensively<br />
saw Akuta beaten in the Lazarus<br />
Stakes at $1.20.<br />
It was a strange night for<br />
punters with Akuta’s defeat<br />
followed up by both Muscle<br />
Mountain and Sundees Son<br />
galloping in the main trot and<br />
several other favourites underperforming.<br />
The two superstar trotters<br />
galloping, while costly, is at<br />
least easy enough for punters to<br />
understand but Akuta sitting in<br />
the one-one and not running<br />
past a horse back in three-yearold<br />
company was a real head<br />
scratcher.<br />
“He was disappointing,” Purdon<br />
said.<br />
“I know they were running<br />
fast times off the front and the<br />
winner (Republican Party) is a<br />
good horse but we still didn’t<br />
run past anything.<br />
“So I am suspicious the team<br />
might have a bug. There was<br />
no sign of anything before they<br />
raced and their work had been<br />
good but usually when they have<br />
a virus they might have a cough<br />
after the race.<br />
“That was the case with Akuta<br />
and couple of others so we will<br />
take bloods off them on Tuesday<br />
and know more when we get<br />
those results back.”<br />
Purdon says Akuta’s defeat will<br />
not play into his eventual decision<br />
whether to start in the IRT<br />
NZ Cup or not.<br />
“First thing first we will get<br />
him checked out and see if needs<br />
to be treated and then his next<br />
aim is the Three-Year-Old Flying<br />
Stakes at Addington on <strong>October</strong><br />
14.<br />
“Then, all going well, he would<br />
probably go to the Ashburton<br />
Flying Stakes against some of the<br />
best ones and if he does that, that<br />
is when we will decide about the<br />
New Zealand Cup.<br />
CHECKS:<br />
Blood tests<br />
will reveal<br />
if Akuta is<br />
carrying a<br />
bug.<br />
“But just because he got<br />
beaten last Friday doesn’t change<br />
anything, he still has the same<br />
ability.”<br />
Purdon said the Addington<br />
track felt fair and even on Friday<br />
night, dispelling thoughts the inside<br />
may have been faster, which<br />
would only really be the case if<br />
the track was graded unevenly<br />
and was deeper wider.<br />
“I think the fact the leaders<br />
were running such fast times and<br />
maybe a virus going around were<br />
factors, while the spring growth<br />
(grass) is really coming through<br />
now and some of the horses may<br />
be doing a little too well because<br />
of that.”<br />
Purdon was pleased with both<br />
Spankem and Self Assured’s<br />
placings behind B D Joe in the<br />
Canterbury Classic and they<br />
could even head to the Methven<br />
Cup this Sunday.<br />
Among those who is likely<br />
to meet them there is Alta<br />
Wiseguy as trainers Steve<br />
and Amanda Telfer look to<br />
continue their great start to the<br />
NZ Cup campaigns of he and B<br />
D Joe.<br />
“Alta Wiseguy will go to Methven<br />
but B D Joe will wait and he<br />
could even return to Addington<br />
on the 14th and then Ashburton,”<br />
says Telfer.<br />
While the superstar trotter’s<br />
defeats will mean little to their<br />
eventual chances Dominion<br />
there was already a market<br />
move pre-race that saw Bolt For<br />
Brilliance, who resumes<br />
at Alexandra Park this Friday,<br />
join Sundees Son as joint favourite.<br />
“We hadn’t been taking a lot<br />
of money for Sundees Son<br />
and we really liked Bolt<br />
For Brilliance’s workout<br />
performance against the pacers<br />
at Pukekohe so we rate them<br />
equal chances now,” said TAB<br />
bookmaker Matt Peden.<br />

GARDENING<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Get seedlings started now under cover<br />
IN WARMER districts, where no<br />
more frosts are expected, runner<br />
and butter beans can be sown. In<br />
most gardens, it is better to delay<br />
growing these tender vegetables<br />
outdoors and to get seed started<br />
under cover. This is also true of<br />
sweet corn and outdoor tomatoes.<br />
From the time they germinate,<br />
runner beans, such as Scarlet<br />
Runner, take 90 days to mature,<br />
while dwarf or butter beans will<br />
produce crops in 60 days. The<br />
latter are generally recommended<br />
for smaller gardens, but a few<br />
runner beans can be grown<br />
anywhere they can climb.<br />
If sowing them in their<br />
permanent position, put runner<br />
bean seeds about 5cm apart<br />
around a bean teepee or against<br />
the netting or trellis they are to<br />
climb.<br />
Pinching out the tips to make<br />
bushier plants is a waste of<br />
effort, as it reduces the crop. Like<br />
climbing types, butter bean seeds<br />
should be set 5cm apart, with<br />
60cm between rows.<br />
Plant out cabbages, cauliflower,<br />
lettuces, parsley and silverbeet,<br />
and check that autumn-sown<br />
broad beans have adequate<br />
support.<br />
Sow spinach and orach where<br />
they are to mature. Orach, or<br />
red mountain spinach, is a lowgrowing,<br />
purple-leaved vegetable<br />
cooked like spinach.<br />
Sow white turnips, spring<br />
onions and quick-maturing mini<br />
beetroot, such as Bonny Baby.<br />
Small beetroot plants can be<br />
transplanted to fill gaps.<br />
Main-crop beetroot can be<br />
sown next month.<br />
Turnips and beetroot should<br />
not be grown in soil where traces<br />
of animal manure remain, as this<br />
causes the roots to fork. Maincrop<br />
potatoes Rua, Moonlight,<br />
Red Rascal (the improved form<br />
of Desiree), Red King, Heather,<br />
Iwa and Agria, for example, can<br />
be planted now in areas that<br />
experience hot summers. In<br />
cooler districts, wait until next<br />
month.<br />
Flowers<br />
Many spring-flowering shrubs<br />
are pruned as soon as they have<br />
finished blooming. This is so the<br />
plants can make new growth over<br />
summer and autumn, as it is on<br />
this new wood that they flower<br />
next season.<br />
Clematis (right), which has its<br />
peak flowering next month, is<br />
often left to grow unchecked but<br />
most types can be pruned hard<br />
after flowering. Cut C. montana<br />
to 1m above ground, leaving only<br />
a main stem with two to four<br />
buds to develop.<br />
Rhododendrons and azaleas<br />
can still be planted. They are<br />
shallow-rooted, with fibrous roots<br />
close to the surface, making them<br />
easy to transplant. Set the shrubs<br />
with the highest roots just 2cm to<br />
3cm below the soil surface.<br />
Adequate moisture is vital to<br />
this group, so mulch around the<br />
roots with rotted autumn leaves,<br />
pine needles or old sawdust from<br />
wood that is not tanalised. Being<br />
woodland plants, rhododendrons<br />
and azaleas need an acid soil, so<br />
never apply lime.<br />
Azaleas come in two types –<br />
evergreen and deciduous – and<br />
the latter have colourful autumn<br />
foliage in orange or red. Winter<br />
roses (Helleborus) can be divided<br />
this month. They do better<br />
in semishade rather than full<br />
shade, and can be boosted with<br />
leaf mould or well-rotted cow<br />
manure.<br />
Lawns can be planted or<br />
renewed now. Rake any bare<br />
patches to give a slightly rough<br />
surface, then scatter with a lawn<br />
grass mix – usually chewings<br />
fescue and browntop seed in a<br />
2:1 ratio – then cover with fine<br />
soil and press down lightly. Water<br />
HELPING HAND:<br />
In early spring<br />
it’s best to get<br />
seeds, such as<br />
beans, started<br />
under cover.<br />
Below: Prune<br />
spring-flowering<br />
shrubs as<br />
soon as they<br />
have finished<br />
blooming.<br />
PHOTOS: ODT<br />
if the soil is dry, then cover with<br />
netting to stop birds eating the<br />
seed.<br />
Fruit<br />
Grafting of apples, pears and<br />
other fruit trees is usually done<br />
this month. This is an important<br />
way of saving heritage fruit trees,<br />
and courses on how to graft trees<br />
are run each season by specialinterest<br />
groups.<br />
Raspberries put in over winter<br />
should be cut back to 30cm<br />
above the ground to encourage<br />
new stems (canes) to grow over<br />
summer for a better crop next<br />
year.<br />
This treatment is also<br />
recommended for blackberries,<br />
tayberries, boysenberries,<br />
loganberries and marionberries.<br />
New blackcurrant bushes<br />
should be pruned to about 25cm<br />
above the ground, but red and<br />
white currants need only to have<br />
last season’s growth trimmed<br />
by about half. This growth is<br />
identified by its lighter bark.<br />
Gooseberries are pruned in the<br />
same way as red currants.<br />

IF YOU’VE got an area<br />
in your garden where you<br />
want to create a mass of<br />
colour, you can’t go past<br />
petunias.<br />
They are prolific bloomers<br />
that, if looked after,<br />
will continue to flower all<br />
summer.<br />
You can choose from<br />
plain purple, red, pink or<br />
white. How about purple<br />
with dashes of white like on<br />
the primetime violet star?<br />
Or the duo red and white<br />
variety which, like the<br />
name suggests, produces<br />
a beautiful mixture of red<br />
and white flower?<br />
GARDENING 39<br />
PROLIFIC: Try a mixed petunia bundle to give a myriad of colour.<br />
Bedding flowers will give<br />
you beautiful blooms<br />
Not sure what colour to<br />
select? Then try a mixed<br />
bundle.<br />
Don’t have a big garden<br />
to fill with bedding flowers?<br />
Don’t worry about that<br />
either. All petunias really<br />
need to flourish is a sunny,<br />
free-draining spot. They<br />
grow equally as well in pots<br />
and hanging baskets making<br />
them perfect for just<br />
about any garden.<br />
Once you’ve selected<br />
your seedlings and sunny<br />
spot to plant, simply dig<br />
small holes, around 3cm<br />
deep and 25cm apart, and<br />
plant.<br />
Be sure to watch out for<br />
slugs. It also pays to keep<br />
an eye out for aphids. If you<br />
spot these pesky pests, a<br />
general insecticide or spray<br />
of organic alternative, neem<br />
oil will sort that problem.<br />
And make sure to keep<br />
them watered. If you’re not<br />
sure how thirsty they are,<br />
stick your finger in the soil<br />
2cm deep. If the soil is dry,<br />
they will need a drink.<br />
Then sit back and wait<br />
just four to six weeks for<br />
your beautiful petunias to<br />
bloom. Remember to pick<br />
off dead heads to encourage<br />
re-flowering.<br />
ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY<br />
Pasifika mum shows<br />
how it’s done<br />
Not so long ago, Epe Valavala was a<br />
full-time, stay-at-home mum. Now, she’s<br />
the proud recipient of a business degree<br />
specialising in human resources and on a<br />
mission to get more Pacific people into the<br />
corporate world.<br />
Epe’s accomplishment provides an<br />
inspirational example — for her family, the<br />
Pasifika community and mature students —<br />
of what’s possible through study.<br />
When Epe first visited Ara Institute<br />
of Canterbury to enquire about its<br />
study options, she literally had a baby<br />
on her hip and needed to know if study<br />
would fit around her lengthy list of daily<br />
responsibilities. “I found out that the<br />
scheduling at Ara worked perfectly for me<br />
as a parent and I wouldn’t need to try to<br />
attend one-hour, lecture-style classes,” she<br />
says.<br />
Epe admits that she was apprehensive<br />
about the thought of being a mature student<br />
among lots of young adults but discovered<br />
she needn’t have worried. “The smaller<br />
class sizes and the atmosphere at Ara let me<br />
contribute my practical life experience to<br />
the mix.”<br />
Epe’s study experience was a revelation<br />
in many ways. “From the classroom<br />
experience to group work, presentations<br />
and sleepless nights, it’s showed me my<br />
worth, my capability and reminded me<br />
of my purpose in life and the many great<br />
things I want to achieve.”<br />
One of those things is diving deeper<br />
into human resources. “I want to be<br />
able to weave in some more cultural and<br />
sustainable practices because I believe if<br />
Wednesday <strong>October</strong> 5 <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
those things are taught at your workplace,<br />
they change the way you work, your<br />
homelife and the way you teach your<br />
children.”<br />
Ultimately, Epe wants see more Pasifika<br />
people in corporate roles. “Seeing more<br />
people who look like us in the corporate<br />
world will encourage others to get<br />
into business and it will increase our<br />
independence. It will also open more<br />
doors for our people. That’s why I chose to<br />
study business, and to specialise in human<br />
resources.”<br />
Epe “100%” encourages all single mums<br />
out there to make the sacrifices needed<br />
to study. “It’s hard work, but with a bit of<br />
dedication it can be done, and at Ara you’re<br />
surrounded by the right people, and you’re<br />
well supported.”<br />

The much-loved annual event, run by<br />
the The Malvern Community Arts Council<br />
(MCAC), is widely anticipated by artists,<br />
creatives and art lovers alike.<br />
Katrina Ellis, arts administrator for<br />
MCAC, says Darfield Artweek starts<br />
with an opening gala night on Friday 7<br />
<strong>October</strong> and the exhibition is open to the<br />
public from Saturday 8 <strong>October</strong> through<br />
to Sunday 16 <strong>October</strong> at the Darfield<br />
Recreation Centre located at 92 North<br />
Terrace, Darfield. Entry is a gold coin<br />

The event, now in its 41st<br />
year, originally started at the<br />
Darfield High School and has<br />
grown exponentially over the<br />
years and now features over<br />
300 works of art including<br />
painting, photography,<br />
jewellery, ceramics, quilting<br />
and much more. The youth<br />
section is also back again this<br />
year with 13 youth artists<br />
participating and Katrina says<br />
she looks forward to seeing it<br />
grow in the future.<br />
Artweek is an opportunity<br />
for both emerging and<br />
established artists to share<br />
their creative talent with the public plus<br />
be in contention for the premier award – a<br />
cash prize of $2000 as well as other cash<br />

The Drawing Room. This year’s judge is<br />
Dorothee Pauli, a Principal Academic staff<br />
member at the School of Art and Design at<br />
Ara, CPIT plus there will also be a people’s<br />
choice competition, where members of the<br />
public can vote for their favourite work of<br />
art.<br />
Darfield Artweek is organised by a<br />
Last year’s People’s Choice winner, Silver<br />
Daisies by Cathie Bell (Windwhistle).<br />
dedicated team of volunteers from the<br />
MCAC, who also run Te Huanui Art<br />
Gallery in Darfield. This year the gallery<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Farmers still stuck in<br />
connectivity slow land<br />
Coverage, reliability and speed of mobile and<br />
internet services for many farming families and<br />
businesses are treading water, if not going backwards,<br />
the <strong>2022</strong> Federated Farmers Rural Connectivity<br />
Survey shows.<br />
More than half of the nearly 1,200 farmers who<br />
responded to the survey report internet download<br />
speeds at or less than what could be considered a<br />
bare minimum (20 megabytes per second/Mbps)<br />
and those who said their mobile phone service had<br />
declined in the last 12 months jumped from 20% to<br />
32%.<br />
“For a sector that underpins the lion’s share of<br />
New Zealand’s export earnings, and one where<br />
productivity gains and reporting requirements<br />
are increasingly aligned with used of technology,<br />
apps and devices, this is really concerning,”<br />
Federated Farmers national board member and<br />
telecommunications spokesperson Richard McIntyre<br />
said.<br />
“It’s a given that it’s easier and more profitable to<br />
deliver high standards of mobile and broadband to<br />
urban areas. But rural families and farm businesses<br />
- who due to remoteness and road travel times can<br />
really benefit from strong on-line connectivity access<br />
- must not be left behind.”<br />
The survey showed a continuing trend of farmers<br />
moving to wireless broadband (now 52%) and,<br />
despite the expense, satellite services (19%) as old<br />
copper lines fail to deliver on speed and reliability.<br />
“But we saw a greater number of farmers remark<br />
that the quality and reliability of their internet<br />
connections had deteriorated as local network<br />
infrastructure had become over-subscribed, either by<br />
increased numbers of users or increased demand by<br />
those users,” McIntyre said.<br />
A similar issue is happening with mobile phone<br />
services.<br />
“When a third of rural users are saying mobile<br />
connectivity has declined in the last year, it points to<br />
severe reliability issues.”<br />
Nearly 69 percent of respondents reported problems<br />
with calls dropping out, an inability to make and<br />
receive calls or send and receive text messages even<br />
when they have two signal bars on their cellphone.<br />
For many, the decline in mobile services meant they<br />
were no longer able to rely on mobile broadband<br />
as a back-up for those times where their internet<br />
connection to the farm is disrupted. For others, it<br />
appears nearby mobile towers have become incapable<br />
of handing voice calls and mobile data as they have<br />
become overburdened by more people making<br />
greater use of the same towers.<br />
“This is an issue Federated Farmers raised with<br />
government following our 2020 and 2019 surveys<br />
and we acknowledge that of $60 million earmarked<br />
for rural telecommunications in this year’s Budget,<br />
some $45m is dedicated to upgrading or adding<br />
towers,” McIntyre said.<br />
“This work can’t happen too soon.”<br />

THERE’S A BATTLE raging<br />
in the new car market that<br />
I’m very interested in, and it’s<br />
not just about the total sales<br />
figures.<br />
You see, there’s a battle<br />
within a battle and it is in the<br />
fully electric vehicle segment,<br />
those companies that have<br />
EVs are fighting amongst<br />
each other for market share.<br />
Of course, the winners will<br />
always be the companies that<br />
have affordable cars for the<br />
mainstream – Peugeot, MG<br />
and newcomer BYD will fall<br />
into that category.<br />
However, you can’t<br />
discount the models landing<br />
here from South Korea,<br />
Hyundai and Kia are both<br />
well established in the EV<br />
market and new models are<br />
landing on a regular basis.<br />
Kia has just introduced a<br />
newcomer and it is simply<br />
badged EV6, it’s part of a<br />
series of models that will<br />
cover a broad spectrum of<br />
the EV market. The EV6 isn’t<br />
mainstream, its price tag<br />
from $72,990 won’t lure Joe<br />
Average, in fact the rangetopping<br />
EV6 is priced at<br />
$109,990. However, if you are<br />
determined to buy into the<br />
EV6 there are two variants<br />
that list from under $80k,<br />
and that will net you a $5750<br />
New Zealand Government<br />
Clean Car Programme<br />
rebate. The remaining three<br />
models in the line-up are<br />
priced at $78,990, $94,990<br />
and $106,990.<br />
That’s quite an extensive<br />
range, and if you are<br />
wondering where the cost<br />
differences lie, the two<br />
entry models have battery<br />
capacities of 58kW and<br />
77.4kW respectively and are<br />
rear-wheel-drive only, the<br />
rest have the high power<br />
batteries and have drive to all<br />
four corners, the four-wheeldrive<br />
models utilising two<br />
electric motors.<br />
The EV6 can be described<br />
as a crossover between sedan<br />
and a sport utility vehicle,<br />
its design is spherical and<br />
all enveloping, much like a<br />
sedan, but with its height of<br />
1.5m it is tall and fits the SUV<br />
bracket.<br />
All models have five seats<br />
only, but they share a wealth<br />
of internal space and comfort<br />
is high. The EV6 is also<br />
minimalistic in its layout.<br />
Don’t get me wrong, it has<br />
a wealth of specification,<br />
yet it’s all manipulated by<br />
simple dial and push-button<br />
controls, you may expect<br />
there to be a lot of functions,<br />
but many of those that<br />
would ordinarily be guided<br />
by switches can be made<br />
electronically through one of<br />
the central display screens.<br />
The EV6 has a high graphic<br />
percentage, and the logic<br />
behind the touch surfaces is<br />
deep yet intuitive.<br />
I find it interesting that<br />
both Kia and Hyundai offer<br />
the varying power supplies<br />
for their flagship electric<br />
KIA EV6: Range of electric models that include<br />
rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. Prices start at<br />
$72,990<br />
models, the difference is not<br />
just extra power on tap, but<br />
the high output versions will<br />
take you further.<br />
The evaluation car was<br />
the range-topper, and it<br />
is good for almost 500km<br />
driving distance if conditions<br />
are conducive to load-free<br />
motoring. If you feel more<br />
comfortable topping up<br />
along the way the EV6 will<br />
recharge from 10 to 80 per<br />
cent in around 18min using a<br />
designated charge port.<br />
• Price – Kia EV6 GT-<br />
Line AWD, $112,990<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 4635mm;<br />
width, 1890mm;<br />
height, 16<strong>05</strong>mm<br />
• Configuration<br />
– Two electric<br />
motors, four-wheeldrive,<br />
225kW,<br />
6<strong>05</strong>Nm, automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 5.2sec<br />
My charging experience<br />
consisted only of using<br />
the domestic supply on<br />
my property. Under those<br />
conditions the charge time is<br />
quite lengthy – an overnight<br />
charge will only net you a<br />
half tank, so to speak. On a<br />
more positive note, I used the<br />
EV6 as many drivers would,<br />
when parked up hook into<br />
the household supply and<br />
just let it continually top up.<br />
If found that on a standard<br />
suburb to city commute it<br />
was more than adequate to<br />
keep range plentiful.<br />
What’s more, it comes with<br />
decent charge cable length<br />
– almost 6m which meant<br />
it was long enough for my<br />
unique situation. The type<br />
2 to type 2 cable (the one<br />
for accessing charge ports)<br />
is also quite lengthy, which<br />
means you don’t have to get<br />
too close to the structure<br />
and risk bumping into it like<br />
I saw just recently when a<br />
driver of a Tesla got too close.<br />
As you would expect, the<br />
EV6 drives smoothly and<br />
quietly, there are minor<br />
extraneous noises such as<br />
wind and a slight roar off the<br />
big tyres (255/45 x 20in), but<br />
its movement is very hushed<br />
and I guess that’s what you<br />
would want and expect when<br />
buying an electric vehicle.<br />
Along with a lot of innercity<br />
running around, I took<br />
the evaluation car west<br />
towards Darfield, returning<br />
via Burnham and Lincoln. It is<br />
an adept highway cruiser, it’s<br />
also very swift with a standstill<br />
to 100km time of 5.2sec,<br />
and it will lunge through a<br />
highway overtake in 4.2sec<br />
(80-120km/h). Those figures<br />
come from the benefit of huge<br />
power figures – 225kW and<br />
over 600Nm of torque.<br />
Not only is the massive<br />
amount of torque something<br />
that supplies that urgency,<br />
the EV6 also drives like a<br />
sports car. It is firmish in the<br />
suspension which always<br />
augurs well when quick<br />
corners are presented.<br />
The steering loads up<br />
to provide solid off-centre<br />
support with plenty of<br />
feedback coming off the<br />
front tyres. That’s the kind<br />
of feel I like, the EV6 is fully<br />
involving and covers distance<br />
like a sports car. That is one<br />
of the benefits of electric<br />
power, there’s no point<br />
anywhere where acceleration<br />
isn’t met with urgency. Of<br />
course, you don’t have to<br />
drive the EV6 in sport mode,<br />
it’s also happy plying the city<br />
commute or every other dayto-day<br />
dawdle.<br />
There’s no doubt Kia is<br />
keen to impress with its<br />
electric-only line-up. The EV6<br />
is futuristic, yet it carries the<br />
electric vehicle ingredients<br />
that will lure those who don’t<br />
see fossil fuel in the future of<br />
personal transport. How it all<br />
plays out is something that I’ll<br />
continue to keep an eye on,<br />
and it’s interesting how the<br />
raft of new EVs are pitched<br />
in terms of price, many are<br />
sitting just below the 80k<br />
threshold whereby owners<br />
can capitalise on the rebate.<br />
We are certainly in for<br />
some exciting times ahead,<br />
and Kia will no doubt be<br />
a big part of how future<br />
direction shapes up.

SELWYN DISTRICT PLANS<br />
Notice of insertion of housing bottom<br />
lines to <strong>Selwyn</strong> district plans<br />
At its meeting on 14 September <strong>2022</strong>, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council resolved to amend<br />
the Operative <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan and Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan to incorporate<br />
“housing bottom lines” in accordance with clause 3.6 of the National Policy Statement<br />
on Urban Development 2020 (NPS-UD). Specifically, Section Objective B4.3.9 of the<br />
Operative District Plan and UG-P13 of the Proposed District Plan have been amended.<br />
The housing bottom lines represent the additional development capacity over the shortmedium<br />
(2021-2031) and long term (2031-2<strong>05</strong>1) that must be enabled by the district<br />
plans to meet expected housing demand in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />
The housing bottom lines replace the previous minimum targets, which were inserted<br />
under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity 2016.<br />
Clause 3.6(4) of the NPS-UD requires the housing bottom lines to be inserted into the<br />
district plans without using a process in Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act<br />
1991 (RMA) (this means submissions cannot be made on these amendments).<br />
The amendments to the Operative and Proposed Plans have been made under section<br />
55(3) of the RMA.<br />
The amendments are effective from the date of this notice (5 <strong>October</strong> <strong>2022</strong>).<br />
The Operative and Proposed District plans can be viewed on the Council’s website at<br />
www.selwyn.govt.nz.<br />
The full text of the decision can be read online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/publicnotices.<br />

oven, a plumbed double fridge space, striking black granite benchtops, a walk-in pantry and is tiled through to the<br />
defined dining area. Stacker sliders from the main living room, lounge and master bedroom lead out onto the<br />
extensive wrap-around Kwila deck and rear lawn. The low-maintenance garden of the 695sqm section means that<br />
weekends can be better spent relaxing on the sun-soaked deck. Highly spec'd, the home features a wall-to-wall tiled<br />
shower in the ensuite, two heat pumps, Bluetooth speakers, carpet and attic storage in the garage and a separate<br />
laundry. My vendors' plans are set, giving a new family the chance to love and enjoy this home as they have.<br />

Looking for a Property?<br />
What really counts<br />
You are in the market for a new property,<br />
scrolling the Internet, examining<br />
properties for sale and zeroing in on those<br />
with potential. They might be in locations<br />
that offer cheaper land, larger houses, or<br />
convenience to work or school. You may<br />
have visited show homes and open homes<br />
becoming confused, overwhelmed or<br />
swept away with emotional factors like<br />
having everything new, or extra features<br />
such as three car garaging.<br />
To be happy with your choice, list the<br />
features that you need, considering:<br />
• Family space – Is there room for<br />
the children to play indoors and for<br />
television and entertainment units?<br />
Should this be open plan or separated?<br />
• Kitchen – What needs to be in your<br />
kitchen? How serious are you about<br />
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or<br />
something that offers a practical solution<br />
to the way you use your kitchen?<br />
• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum<br />
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate<br />
to slightly lower building costs while<br />
extra space can be useful. When looking<br />
at existing homes, consider whether the<br />
size of each bedroom is sufficient.<br />
• Garaging – A standard double garage<br />
once two cars are parked there offers<br />
little space for the toys. What toys<br />
do you have and could they live with<br />
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a<br />
cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />
If the budget allows and a larger garage<br />
with workshop is important, make it a<br />
selection priority.<br />
• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer<br />
space for children, pets, hobbies, an<br />
expansive garden and perhaps a homerun<br />
business but they require work so<br />
are not for everyone and a compact<br />
section might be more sensible if a tight<br />
budget or busy lifestyle.<br />
• Bathrooms – Second and third<br />
bathrooms are great in homes with<br />
teenagers and a wet shower room is<br />
ideal for young children. A bath might<br />
be fashionable though is often not used<br />
and its absence could mean a more<br />
spacious bathroom.<br />
• Laundry – Would a laundry in the<br />
garage do the job?<br />
• Storage – How much storage do you<br />
need? Weigh up what can truly be<br />
stored in the garage once vehicles are<br />
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary<br />
in size so check the size to ensure your<br />
vehicles will fit. Look also at where<br />
else the house offers storage capacity<br />
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot<br />
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes<br />
(check their width and depth), walkin<br />
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as<br />
the potential for hooks and shelving<br />
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden<br />
equipment and even kayaks.<br />
• Off-street parking – How many<br />
vehicles can be parked on the driveway?<br />
Will this space be sufficient?<br />
• Garden - Is there sufficient space<br />
for your children to play or for<br />
entertaining?<br />
A checklist will allow you to determine<br />
what will suit your needs, the point of<br />
the exercise, saving you time looking at<br />
properties or potential house designs<br />
while assisting you to decide whether<br />
to buy a new or existing home with<br />
both options having advantages and<br />
disadvantages.<br />
West Melton 25 Fairmont Rise<br />
Where memories are made and dreams are fulfilled<br />

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

configuration is a winner, with bedrooms two and three boasting their own walk-in robes, a dual access ensuite and<br />
individual heat pumps. The master suite also has its own heat pump and an enviable wall-to-wall tiled shower in the<br />

Buying a lifestyle block<br />
27<br />
City life getting you down? Dreaming of<br />
living in the country, where you ‘commute’<br />
from the breakfast table to a barn or your<br />
home office? It might look like an easy life<br />
but buying a lifestyle property can be a<br />
complex business.<br />
While living in the country has much<br />
to recommend it, you need to do more<br />
preparation for buying a place there than<br />
buying a pair of gumboots and comparing<br />
the merits of ride-on mowers.<br />
We recommend comprehensive due<br />
diligence when buying any kind of property,<br />
but rural ones come with a whole extra set<br />
of things to think about compared to buying<br />
a straightforward stand-alone home in<br />
town”.<br />
While it’s tempting to focus on the dream<br />
wish list for your bucolic bolt-hole, but you<br />
should also compile a list of issues to be<br />
aware of (and people who can help you learn<br />
about them).<br />
“If the property you like is being sold by<br />
a licensed real estate agent, remember that<br />
you can ask them anything you like about it”.<br />
“Rural real estate agents have special<br />
skills in this area and they’ll be able to help<br />
you figure out what information you need<br />
to make a well-informed decision. It’s also<br />
a good idea to get your lawyer onboard<br />
early to check titles, consents and other<br />
information that you gather in the process.”<br />
It might feel like you’re getting away from<br />
it all when moving out of town, but rural<br />
developments can be subject to rules that<br />
restrict what you can do. REA recommends<br />
getting your lawyer to check if there are any<br />
covenants on the property that might have<br />
an impact on a future business you may<br />
run there, or any planned building projects.<br />
You don’t want to invest in an alpaca herd<br />
for your new dream property only to find<br />
that it’s not allowed to carry any livestock.<br />
Similarly, it would be tough to discover that<br />
your subdivision plans are not permitted by<br />
council rules.<br />
Be aware that there may be tax<br />
implications if you’re planning to use the<br />
property as a business.<br />
“In general, if it is currently being used for<br />
a business that is tax-registered – whether<br />
that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock<br />
or running a B&B – then the seller will<br />
probably add GST to the price. This means<br />
you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you<br />
are also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer<br />
or accountant to check if the house or any<br />
other buildings on the property are GSTexempt.<br />
They will also be able to advise you<br />
on whether you need to be GST-registered.”<br />
A good place to start when trying to<br />
figure out what tax obligations might<br />
attach to your purchase of the property<br />
is Inland Revenue’s property tax decision<br />
tree (available at http://www.ird.govt.<br />
nz/property/property-terms-and-tools/<br />
property-decision-tree/), but keep in mind<br />
that it is always best to seek professional<br />
advice before you make a decision.<br />
Rural properties (like all properties) can<br />
also have easements on the title that relate to<br />
access, water or power. You should ask your<br />
lawyer to check the title and work out what<br />
the easements are, and how they will have an<br />
impact on your rights and responsibilities as<br />
an owner.<br />
“For example, if the title allows a<br />
neighbour access to a piece of their land<br />
through your property, do you have any<br />
right to limit the type and frequency of that<br />
access if you buy it?”<br />
Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’<br />
easements operating; the incumbent<br />
owners may have an informal arrangement<br />
with their neighbours, but this may not<br />
remain when the property passes into new<br />
ownership.<br />
Things that we take for granted when<br />
living in urban environments, like water,<br />
sewage and access, can require more<br />
involvement in rural areas. Check the water<br />
sources for the property – if it has its own<br />
bore, are there limits on the amount of<br />
water you can draw from it? What is the<br />
process for ensuring it is safe to drink? What<br />
happens to wastewater and sewage? Are you<br />
prepared for life with a septic tank? Will the<br />
current owner ensure the tank is empty as a<br />
condition of sale?<br />
When it comes to access, will you<br />
share a private road or right of way with<br />
other properties? What will be your<br />
responsibilities and potential costs for<br />
maintaining it? Don’t forget that your<br />
neighbours may be involved in unglamorous<br />
activities at ungodly hours – check the<br />
zoning rules for nearby properties if you’re<br />
worried about noise, smells or traffic. You<br />
might think it’s lovely to have stock grazing<br />
out the window, but are you ready for a<br />
milk tanker driving past every morning? Be<br />
aware that the LIM will not always alert you<br />
to any pending or current NZTA decisions<br />
regarding local highway linkages that often<br />
divert traffic away from urban centres in<br />
favour of immediate rural areas on the town<br />
boundary. Check with NZTA if you think<br />
your property could be affected by road<br />
changes.<br />
Like all property purchases, buying a place<br />
in the country requires careful, objective<br />
consideration.<br />
“There are lots of great things about<br />
living on the land, but it’s best to be realistic<br />
about it. You don’t want to be like the<br />
former townie I met a few weeks ago, who<br />
mournfully told me that their lifestyle<br />
block had become “a life sentence”. Do your<br />
homework and you’re far more likely to live<br />
happily ever after in rural bliss.”<br />

Extending<br />
outdoor living<br />
Rain and wind-proofing an outdoor space adds value<br />
to a property. With a roof or clear vinyl sides, your<br />
buyers can see an area where rain doesn’t stop play.<br />
Thanks to blitz advertising, most<br />
Kiwis have heard the name Archgola.<br />
The company and others like it can add<br />
canopies to decks, enclosing the space for<br />
year-round use.<br />
Undercover verandas, pergolas and<br />
gazebos can be turned into living space<br />
by adding side panels, which effectively<br />
create a conservatory. Restaurants often<br />
use these spaces, so there’s no reason why<br />
home owners can’t as well.<br />
Roll-down clear vinyl blinds are a<br />
popular choice, which, if you’re lucky,<br />
can be bought ready made from hardware<br />
stores such as Bunnings and Mitre10. If<br />
not, there are plenty of companies that<br />
will custom manufacture to fit. Usually<br />
these blinds zip into place and are stored<br />
using a rope-and-pulley system.<br />
Mounting your blinds is very simple.<br />
Typically it involves screwing the<br />
mountings into wood or installing a track<br />
then fitting the blind.<br />
Other options include roll-up shade<br />
cloths or other gazebo or veranda sides,<br />
such as canvas. These aren’t as windproof<br />
as the vinyl blinds, meaning they’re not a<br />
12-month solution.<br />
If you don’t already have an outdoor<br />
living space, building a pergola doesn’t<br />
generally need planning permission..<br />
Provided the pergola is less than 10 sq<br />
m in size, it is usually okay to add a roof.<br />
But a quick call to the council is a good<br />
idea; never risk building an unpermitted<br />
structure.<br />
Another option for quick and easy rain<br />
and windproof outdoor living is a pop-up<br />
gazebo. These can be turned into dining<br />
areas to give buyers a glimpse of what they<br />
could do themselves.<br />
It’s important to dress them so it doesn’t<br />
look like you’ve just plonked a gazebo<br />
on the lawn. Lights, plants, furniture<br />
and even place settings can really give a<br />
gazebo the Pinterest touch and bring it to<br />
life as an outdoor entertaining hub for the<br />
home.<br />
The more you pay for pop-up gazebos,<br />
the better UV protection of the fabric and<br />
powder coating of the steel you get.<br />
Heating the outdoor space also makes it<br />
more usable. The cheap option is a patio<br />
heater. Permanent gas, wood or pellet<br />
fireplaces and fire pits are easier on the<br />
eye and can make a design statement, allimportant<br />
when selling a home.<br />
For wind protection, it’s reasonably<br />
simple to erect trellis and staple brush<br />
sides to it or the existing fence.<br />
Bamboo is particularly good for this<br />
purpose, especially if you have access to a<br />
free source - although you could also buy<br />
it at all good hardware stores.

Dressing your property<br />
up for sale<br />
Your house is on the market and you hope to<br />
get a good price. While market performance<br />
will largely influence this, presenting your<br />
home at its best will help.<br />
First impressions count from<br />
the moment potential buyers view<br />
a property from the street to the<br />
moment they walk through the front<br />
door.<br />
Weed the garden, cut back unruly<br />
shrubs and prune trees where needed.<br />
Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle<br />
grass seed over bald patches and<br />
fertilise the lawn.<br />
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess<br />
or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby<br />
items or fitness equipment and if too<br />
many photos on the wall pack these<br />
away so the home looks roomy.<br />
If there is a gap or a room needs<br />
enhancing, look at what you have. A<br />
piece of furniture might be painted up<br />
or an old leather bound book popped<br />
on the coffee table. Shelves will also<br />
add depth to a narrow space while<br />
mirrors may give the illusion of a<br />
larger space. In entryways, add an easy<br />
chair, small table, bookcase or large<br />
vase.<br />
Awkward spaces such as coved<br />
ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms<br />
might be converted into storage<br />
shelving and the room given a purpose<br />
as an office, playroom or extra<br />
bedroom so viewers can see how the<br />
room might be used.<br />
Stow possessions neatly in<br />
containers, shelving or tidily in<br />
cupboards; highlighting the storage<br />
potential within the home, ensuring<br />
it is clean and tidy for viewing at any<br />
time.<br />
Move the pets outside as not all<br />
buyers will be pet lovers while some<br />
may suffer pet allergies putting them<br />
off a house if they see a pet inside.<br />
If parts of the house look tired,<br />
consider renovating by painting<br />
walls, replacing worn carpet, or<br />
modernising the kitchen, bathroom<br />
and toilet; rooms that should sparkle.<br />
Replace tired cabinetry, or the benches<br />
and cupboard/drawer fronts then<br />
update old toilets, showers or kitchen<br />
appliances. Modernising these rooms<br />
can lift the final selling price.<br />
Use consistent and light paint<br />
colours throughout for balance and<br />
seamlessness, making the house<br />
appear more spacious. An effect that<br />
is increased when walls and curtains<br />
share the same or a similar colour.<br />
Consider the personality and<br />
purpose of a room. Bright colours<br />
lift living areas especially if large and<br />
open. However, bedrooms are suited<br />
to calmer softer colours with just a<br />
touch of bold. Layer bedding or use<br />
throws for effect along with cushions<br />
or a stuffed toy in a children’s room.<br />
With curtaining, smaller patterns or<br />
plain fabrics are the rule for smaller<br />
rooms whereas larger patterns make<br />
spacious areas cosier. If blinds or<br />
drapes are past their best, replace these<br />
even if it is only with neutral cotton<br />
curtains. The effect will be worth it.<br />
Eco-friendly features will also add<br />
value for some buyers though not<br />
universally, however earthy natural<br />
colours and features are popular.<br />
Consider who your target buyers are<br />
likely to be and what will appeal to<br />
them.<br />
Move the pets outside<br />
as not all buyers will<br />
be pet lovers while<br />
some may suffer pet<br />
allergies
30<br />
Making the most of<br />
show home viewing<br />
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for<br />
features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful<br />
for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design.<br />
[Edition datE] 1<br />
Before heading out for a day’s<br />
viewing, conduct an internet search.<br />
identify the locations of show home<br />
villages and the types and sizes of the<br />
various building company’s homes on<br />
display, noting down the square metre<br />
size of each home.<br />
if wanting a high end, architectural<br />
design, focus on the larger homes that<br />
have desirable design features. if at the<br />
entry or middle level of the market,<br />
earmark homes that fit this taking in<br />
other show homes for extra ideas.<br />
allow sufficient time when visiting each<br />
show home, asking for a floor plan that<br />
has room sizes before walking through.<br />
Check also the floor to ceiling height<br />
of the rooms and consider how this feels<br />
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with<br />
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or<br />
more spaciousness created with a higher<br />
stud or exposed ceiling beams.<br />
if doors and windows are taller than<br />
normal, weigh their effect in creating<br />
a more luxurious and spacious feel,<br />
against potential inconvenience for small<br />
children, cleaning and maintenance.<br />
on entering each room, take account of<br />
how much furniture is in each room and<br />
whether there is sufficient space for the<br />
furniture you will have in the room and<br />
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look<br />
too, at storage capacity throughout the<br />
home and whether this is adequate.<br />
in the living areas, consider whether a<br />
lounge separated from the family living<br />
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,<br />
living/lounge area is preferable, and<br />
compare internal kitchens with those that<br />
have natural light.<br />
Look too at the layout of<br />
the kitchen: whether to have<br />
an island sink or breakfast<br />
bar where a newspaper can<br />
be read, and children can<br />
sit and draw or complete<br />
homework; the positioning<br />
of appliances; and how<br />
important having a pantry is.<br />
for the little rooms, equate<br />
space and features desired<br />
with that needed, especially<br />
if the budget needs to be<br />
sharp. it might be nice to<br />
have a large walk-in shower<br />
with double shower heads<br />
but is this just fanciful and<br />
will the extra cleaning annoy you long<br />
term. a laundry in the garage is also more<br />
economical though a separate laundry<br />
may be handier.<br />
Bring the garage size into the equation<br />
also. as these vary considerably, assess<br />
the actual measurements of each garage<br />
viewed comparing this with the space<br />
SELLING YOUR HOME?<br />
needed for your motor vehicles and other<br />
items to be stored there. if a good number<br />
of toys will be housed there, it may be<br />
sensible to increase the size of this area of<br />
the home.<br />
By imagining what you need, want and<br />
will have in your new home, you will be in<br />
a better position to confidently choose a<br />
design that works for you.<br />
Potential buyers are<br />
likely to be living in your<br />
neighbourhood, it’s an<br />

New building code update<br />
for insulation<br />
New Zealand homes have long been<br />
under the spotlight for being cold,<br />
damp and unhealthy. However, the<br />
MBIE Building Code update from 3<br />
November <strong>2022</strong> is working towards<br />
rectifying this problem ensuring New<br />
Zealand has safe, healthy and durable<br />
buildings. These changes affect all<br />
residential dwellings under 300m2.<br />
MBIE states, “The building<br />
code sets the minimum standard<br />
for building compliance. This is<br />
effectively the lowest standard that<br />
can be legally built. Our homes and<br />
buildings will need to perform better<br />
to help meet long-term national net<br />
zero carbon targets.” New Zealand’s<br />
goal is to reach this target by 2<strong>05</strong>0.<br />
So, the Building for Climate Change<br />
programme starts with reviewing the<br />
roof, slab and window R-value (the<br />
thermal resistance measure) of new<br />
builds’ insulation and bringing them<br />
up to international standards.<br />
Windows represent the largest<br />
source of heat loss in new homes. As a<br />
result, Canterbury will need to reach<br />
a minimum R-value of 0.37 for all<br />
windows and doors by 3 November<br />
<strong>2022</strong>, increasing to R0.50 by 1 May<br />
2023. Prue McCaughan from Dark<br />
Horse Building Ltd, based in Kirwee,<br />
advises that you can still install<br />
aluminium frames, but glass will<br />
require argon gas between panes.<br />
Additionally, as of 1 May 2023, they<br />
will need to be in a thermally broken<br />
aluminium or uPVC frame. As a<br />
result, manufacturer numbers could<br />
impact supply, and a cost increase of<br />
30-40% may occur. Skylight size will<br />
also be affected, reducing to no less<br />
than 1.5 metres or 1.5% of the roof<br />
area. However, greater insulation will<br />
minimise cold airflow and help to<br />
prevent condensation.<br />
Roof insulation will also have<br />
an increase in R-value. Currently,<br />
Canterbury’s minimum insulation<br />
is R3.3, increasing to R 6.6,<br />
meaning a double insulation<br />
thickness will be required.<br />
Therefore, building costs will<br />
increase due to the cost of<br />
materials and labour costs for<br />
installation.<br />
Flooring currently has an<br />
R-value of R1.3, with the slab<br />
on the ground increasing<br />
to R1.6, while other floors<br />
(driven piles or floors with<br />
underfloor heating) will<br />
have a new R-value of R3.0.<br />
Any new home buyers<br />
would benefit from<br />
submitting consents now<br />
to save money. As Prue<br />
suggests, the changes<br />
will increase by an<br />
estimated “$20,000<br />
on 180sqm property,<br />
mostly due to the<br />
windows”. However, with<br />
these updates, Prue says,” If<br />
you are looking for a house to<br />
build and live in for longevity,<br />
you will save that money in<br />
your heating costs, and overall<br />
be better; it will just bring us<br />
up to international standards,<br />
which New Zealand needs to<br />
do.”<br />
As New Zealand heads<br />
towards more passively heated<br />
homes, the way we build our<br />
houses will change. The upfront<br />
costs may increase, but overall,<br />
homes will be warmer, dryer,<br />
healthier and cheaper to heat for<br />
all New Zealanders.<br />
