‘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 />

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 />

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 />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<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 />

Chlorination Upgrades <strong>2022</strong><br />

New Zealand’s drinking water laws have changed.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

The hybrid opening is part of a relaunch<br />

of EntX Christchurch, the entertainment<br />

complex situated in the heart of the city<br />

centre, where Mackersy Property director<br />

of investment and transactions Adam<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 />

“The PowerUp hub is a onestop-shop<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 />

For more details on the elections, including candidate profiles and special voting information,<br />

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

RACING 35<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 />

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 />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Advertising Feature<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 />

[Edition datE]<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 />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 />

area that they already love<br />

and are actively seeking<br />

to stay in. That’s why it<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 />
