Big blaze on property where
gang shooting took place
• By Tina Grumball
SEVERE DAMAGE was caused
to a large shed on a property
where a gang-related shooting
took place two months ago.
The shed, believed to be a
workshop, at the Maddisons Rd
address caught fire at 9.50pm
on Sunday. Firefighters fought
to contain the blaze for nearly
three hours.
The cause of the fire was
still being investigated when
the Selwyn Times went to
publication.
Four fire trucks and four
tankers from around the region
were called to the blaze and
it was finally contained about
12.30am. A firefighter had to be
treated for heat exhaustion.

GONE: The fire completely destroyed the shed at the rear of the Maddisons Rd property and scorched the trees.

Crackdown
on illegal
parking
leads to
sharp rise
in tickets
• By Susan Sandys
A DISTRICT council crackdown
on illegal parking has seen 20
infringements issued across
Lincoln and Rolleston in a week.
Motorists have been fined for
parking in a prohibited area,
parking on a berm, parking on
broken yellow lines, parking
facing the wrong direction, not
displaying current registration,
not having a current vehicle
licence, and not having a warrant
of fitness.
The infringements were
predominantly issued on Springs
Rd, Lincoln, by the university
and building sites, and at a small
number of other residential areas
in Lincoln and Rolleston.
District council regulatory
manager Susan Atherton
said since the district council
signalled it would be stepping
up its enforcement of illegal
parking from September 19, it had
continued its approach of trying to
get matters resolved first and only
issuing tickets when that failed.

BE PREPARED to be asked
fairly soon to help pay for
the $683 million multi-use
stadium in Christchurch.
New Christchurch Mayor
Phil Mauger made his intentions
clear at the weekend –
he wants Selwyn and other
district councils to stump
up. He sees the stadium as a
regional one, not Christchurch’s
(see page 3).
There has been a fair bit
of debate for and against
Selwyn fronting up.
Rates are expected to go
up annually by an average
of six per cent over the next
several years. Given the
growth of the district and

the increasing cost of infrastructure,
that figure might
be conservative.
And with no sign of living
costs slowing it might
be a case of mentioning to
Mauger that Rolling Stones’

NEWLY-elected Christchurch
Mayor Phil Mauger says one of
his early goals is to get financial
commitment for the multi-use
stadium Te Kaha from Selwyn
and other Canterbury district
councils like Ashburton,
Waimakariri and Hurunui.
But he says
he is expecting
some resistance.
“We’ve got
to have a conversation
with
them – if you
don’t ask you
Phil Mauger never know,”
he told Stuff.
He said the stadium needed to
be approached as a Canterbury
facility.
Mauger said there would be
talks in the near future.
The central city stadium
has steadily blown out in cost
on the back of delays, design
changes and rapidly increasing
construction costs. It will be
used for sports matches and
concerts.
The Christchurch City Council
company set up to build it is
confident the current $683 million
price tag – a $150 million
blowout on its previous costings
– won’t rise further.
Selwyn Mayor Sam
Broughton, re-elected for his
third term on Saturday, said in
spite of Mauger’s comments, the
district council’s position had
not changed.
“We have not received
any formal requests for
funding, but if do receive
a request, then any contribution
from Selwyn
would have to be subject
to consultation with our
community, he said.
District councillors
canvassed by the Selwyn
Times in July were concerned
about the impact helping
to pay for the stadium would
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
have on ratepayers, who were
faced with an average rise of six
per cent over the next several
years.
Ratepayers would need
to be consulted on their
views in either the annual
or long term plans, they
believed.
Annual plans set rates
which mirrors what
the district council will
spend money on in any
given year, while long
term plans forecast
spending and development over
a 10 year period.
In July, district councillor
Nicole Reid said she would have
expected Selwyn would have
been consulted with on the
stadium before now if it was an
intention of Christchurch City
Council to request funding.
“We have already undertaken
our annual plan budget for this
financial year so if any stadium
funding request is received from
CCC, this would have to go
through next year’s annual plan
consultation with our community
for the 2023/2024 financial
year,” she said.

Time catches up with Woods;
• By Susan Sandys
“IT LOOKS like I’m past my
used-by date,” said 80-year-old
Bill Woods as he reflected on
losing out in the local body
elections.
Not only was Woods slammed
in the three-candidate mayoral
race, being the lowest polling
candidate with just 1876 votes,
he did not receive enough votes
for re-election to the Malvern
Community Board.
Incumbent Sam Broughton
will enter his third term as mayor
after winning with a 11,863 majority.
Newcomer Sean Ellis fills
the one vacancy in the Tawera
Community Subdivision of the
board, having won with 490
votes, compared to Woods’ 268
votes.
Woods said he felt neither
bitter nor sad about not being
able to return to the board, just
“possibly a little disappointed.”
“But nothing much, I have
been beaten that many times, it
doesn’t matter.”
He lost the mayoralty at
the 2019 election as well, but
received 4485 votes that time.
Woods has regularly stood
for mayor since serving in the
role from 1992 to 1995. His local
body service stretches back as far
Bill
Sam
Woods Broughton
as 1989 when he first became a
Selwyn District councillor.
The Springfield resident, who
was this year awarded a Queen’s
Service Medal in the Queen’s
Birthday Honours, said he was
proud of his many achievements
for the community within that
time. He now doubted he would
ever stand for election again.
Fellow mayoral hopeful Calvin
Payne was also slammed in the
mayoral race, with 3148 votes,
well behind winning candidate
Sam Broughton, who returns to
the role, having received 15,011
votes.
Broughton told the Selwyn
Times it was “very exciting” and
he was “very pleased.”
“I just think it’s an affirmation
really, of the good space that our
district is in,” Broughton said.
For roles on the district
council, the election saw all
councillors who stood win their
seats back, bar one. For the
two-seat Malvern ward, district
councillor Jenny Gallagher
received 1572 votes, not enough
to beat either fellow incumbent
Bob Mugford, 1755 votes, or
top-polling newcomer Lydia
Gliddon, 2541 votes.
Gliddon campaigned on a platform
of wanting to see her home
district of Malvern flourish, with
her priorities being delivering
the basics of roading, water and
community support, planning
for future growth and keeping
rates affordable.
Fellow newcomers on the
district council are Phil Dean,
who was the top-polling candidate
in the three-seat Rolleston
ward, receiving 3366 votes, and
Elizabeth Mundt, who was the
second-to-top polling candidate
in the Ellesmere ward, receiving
1578 votes.
Dean is former police senior
sergeant and an active member
of CentreStage Rolleston, who
said while campaigning it was
essential the district council had
processes ensuring community
voices would be heard. Mundt
was among speakers at an
anti-chlorination meeting, and
among her campaign messages
was the need to protect the district’s
water infrastructure from
privatisation.
Meanwhile, Ellis will have
fellow newcomers serving
alongside him on the Malvern
Community Board, of Payne,
Bruce Russell and Sharn Nu’u.

Evacuations
•From page 1
Another crew was at the scene on
Monday morning to dampen some
hot spots.
The site was in the news three
months ago when a man was shot in
early July. Police arrested two men
with gang affiliations in the days
after the incident. A 31-year-old
Mongols MC affiliate was charged
with wounding with intent to cause
grevious bodily harm and unlawful
possession of a firearm.
He pleaded not guilty and elected a
trial by jury. His is next due to appear
in the Christchurch District Court on
December 15.
A neighbour near the property said
the fire was “not a nice wake-up call
for us.”
They were evacuated for about an
hour but returned to their home quite
quickly.
When asked if the building was
unoccupied, she said she had not seen
any activity for a while and thought
whoever lived there had moved out.
Solutions sought
•From page 1
In the first week, only three infringements
were issued, however,
this increased to 20 last week.
“These locations were assessed
following complaints received from
members of the public and where a
solutions-based approach had already
been tried. We have continued with
our approach of trying to get matters
resolved first, and only issuing tickets
where that fails,” Atherton said.

In Selwyn, you can find an oasis
of beauty, tranquillity and a
stunning collection of plants at
Broadfield Garden, 250 Selwyn
Road. It is the perfect spot for a
few hours of relaxation, a picnic
or even the venue for weddings
and other special occasions.
David started planting with a
blank canvas in 1993, and nearly
30 years later, the 4.8-hectare
property now has 3.5 hectares
of beautiful landscape. Architect
Robert Watson planned the area, but
with a wealth of knowledge, David was
the one to do the selection and planting.
As a result, the garden comprises a
mixture of contemporary plantings.
The garden has won awards, including
the NZ Institute of Horticulture’s
six-star garden awarded ‘Garden of
International Significance.’ It is a labour
of love for David, but he now has a
helper five days a week, helping with
various tasks, including four hours of
lawnmowing.
Entering Broadfield Garden, your eye
is drawn down the 120-metre hedgebordered
walk towards the Sedge Pond
and, from there, the spectacular central
feature water canal. Different sections
house Camellia, Rhododendron,
Azalea, Deciduous and Rose gardens
with many splashes of colour. You
will also find a new large vegetable
garden with beehives and a fruit cage
to protect the many types of fruit
from birds. For a shaded walk, you
can wander through the Kauri Forest
with over 100 kauri trees, the Beech
Forest or the Lowland Forest, where
you will see trees important to our
native forest landscape. Throughout
the gardens, you will find eye-catching
artworks, sculptures, knickknacks and
novelty pieces so that you will discover
something new no matter where you
look.
In the Perennial Garden, you’ll come
across a small slate-roofed cottage
with slate tiles originally sourced from
Brougham Street’s Nazareth House. The
cottage was built by David and Dave
Fals, who for 17 years helped develop
the garden. It contains a selection of
horticultural books and photos of
the property before planting in 1993.
David states, “The cottage is really an
anchor for the end of the East-West
vista.” Meanwhile, a Heritage Shed has
a collection of old garden equipment
and an assortment of items from times
past. A viewing mound created from the
canal excavation provides a view over
the garden and a line of sight to the Port
Hills and the Southern Alps.
For a perfect photo location, function
venue, garden visit, or guided tour,
Broadfield Garden, 250 Selwyn Road,
is open every Wednesday and Saturday
from 8.00 am to 4.30 pm (and by
arrangement, phone 027 4334099).
The cost is $15 for adults and free for
children.

Ford Courier missing
after brazen theft
• By Susan Sandys
DANI MURRAY of Leeston
was recovering from surgery
when her 2006 Ford Courier
was brazenly stolen out of her
driveway as she slept.
The red ute was locked and
parked in the short driveway
of her home on Chapman St
behind a closed gate and about
12m from the house.
It was taken overnight Sunday
last week, sometime between
when she had seen it about
10pm that evening, and about
5.30am the next day when her
partner noticed it was gone.
Police responding told her
they thought it was a targeted
theft.
Murray thought the ute was
quite rare and would have held
its value since she bought it
about six years ago for about
$12,000. She believed there
would have been two or more
culprits, who broke into it and
quietly pushed it out of the
driveway, because if the engine
started it would of woken her
up.
While grateful the car was
insured, she said it was a blow
to have it stolen as she was two
weeks into a six-week recovery
period for major surgery.
“It was bad luck all round,”
she said.
Murray wanted people to keep
a look out for the vehicle and
report any sightings to police. At
the time of the theft, its licence
plate is LBP358.
Kakaha name given to
new Prebbleton park
• By Susan Sandys
PREBBLETON’S emerging $17.2
million, 22ha park on Birchs Rd
has been named Kakaha Park.
The first stage of 10ha in the
south-east corner is expected to
be completed later this month
and open to the
public late next
month as new-sown
grass matures.
It includes a dog
park, dog park
carpark, Leadleys
Rd car parks,
three-and-a-half lit sports fields,
walking tracks, cycle tracks and
playground features.
The second stage is to include
installation of changerooms,
pathways and lighting. It is due
for completion June next year
and work is well underway.
The name was gifted to the
district by Te Taumutu Rūnanga
and Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga.
District council acting major
projects manager Phil Millar said
all plants in Kakaha Park would
be New Zealand natives, “so the
name fits nicely with that.”
Kakaha, which is the bush
lily species Astelia fragrans, is
believed to have grown on the
Canterbury Plains
prior to European
settlement. It was
used in conjunction
with other plants
for weaving.
The name kakaha
recognises the
location of the park in a network
of mahika kai (food and resource
gathering) sites on the plains.
“The connection to the trails
and sites of mahika kai is special
as well, as this park links in
with the existing rail trail cycle
network and our modern trails
across the plains, connecting
from Lincoln through to
Prebbleton and on,” Millar
said.

VOLUNTEERS are bringing
dilapidated historic buildings
from around Ellesmere back to
life at Selwyn Heritage Centre.
The 1870s Southbridge Jail
and 1880s Carroll Cottage are
looking as good as new. They
will soon be accompanied by two
additional 1800s buildings at the
Leeston site, which are set to get
the same treatment of relocation
to the centre and a full
makeover, with one to
have a replica saddlery
shop built onto it.
Ellesmere Heritage Park
Trust operates the centre,
and will be opening it up
to Selwyn Spring Show
visitors this Saturday. It
will be the first time members
of the public will have
an opportunity to view
the buildings since they were officially

and farms. It is generally opened
to the public only three or four
days each year.
The shed has a display which
was officially opened the same
day as the jail and cottage. It
is a 1950s shop front replica of
Free Bros Butchers and Bakers
of Leeston, with equipment and
tools from that era.
The two latest buildings which
have been acquired are a small
1800s weatherboard home
from Leeston and Lake Rd near
Leeston Park, which once had
a saddlery shop attached to it,
and a long narrow shed with
shingled roof from the early
settler Drumroslyn farm of
Southbridge.
Clausen has a copy of an 1899
photo of the former saddlery
shop. The shop’s owner, Hans
Dierck, is pictured standing
outside with others.

Clausen said Selwyn Heritage
Centre would be replicating the
shop and its signage, building
this on to the weatherboard
home. He personally had some
old saddlery equipment which
would be able to be used in the
displays at the building, as his
grandfather had also once operated
the shop.
The other building, from
Southbridge, was a long narrow
one, in a “pretty rough” state,
which may have had timber for
building the former two-storey
1870s homestead on the farm of
Drumroslyn stored in it.
“It would have taken months
to build the house, so it may have
been used to store the timber. It’s
iconic, because it’s a lovely old
weather board building and it has
shingles on the roof,” Clausen
said.
The buildings restored by the
trust’s volunteers are brought
back to top condition, with
artefacts from their era displayed
inside. Visitors wondering what
the walls might reveal if they
could speak, are given clues with
information about the buildings
also displayed.
Up to 20 of the trust’s volunteers
from throughout Ellesmere

“With an article of history,
once it’s lost, you can’t reproduce
it. So it’s about saving that article
to be able to show to the current
younger generation and future
young generations. We are fully
committed to preserving and displaying
the original articles that
people used in their lives.”

to slide his long fingers around
the door to unhinge the chain.
The incident resulted in these
chains being removed from jail
doors throughout the country.
The small jail was built in response
to a need, which had been
particularly evident at harvest
time when there was a “rowdy
element” in the district.
It was opened in 1876, alongside
a new police station and
stables, enabling Southbridge to
become the new police headquarters
for Selwyn.
Carroll Cottage was built in the
1880s by Irish settlers Edward
and Annie Carroll. They raised
their six children there.
Clausen said he welcomed

with Selwyn heritage groups on
developing a heritage strategy,
and give consideration to a $20
annual rate for heritage as part of
the 2022-2023 annual plan.
Ultimately the trust was aiming
to give the shed housing its
museum a $1 million update and
have it opened permanently as a
district-wide attraction.
Clausen said such a rate would
go some way towards funding
this. Currently its funding was in
the form of grants from various
organisations such as the district
council and Rata Foundation. It
was also helped by local donations
and at-cost materials from
supportive businesses.

is often overlooked in our busy,
everyday lives.”

chair Harvey Polglase wanted to
paint over the graffiti on a small
railway shed at Darfield – but
could not get approval from
KiwiRail.
Polglase said he wanted to do
the job himself when KiwiRail
failed to remove the graffiti from
the shed and it sat there for more
than a month.
“People doing the graffiti
haven’t got any qualms walking
onto railway property. We were
quite happy to do the same thing,
if it was helping out,” Polglase
said.
He said it was important graffiti
was removed or painted over
quickly as it brought down the
tone of an area and vandals may
be encouraged to put more graffiti
there. Polglase first noticed the
railway shed graffiti early last
month. He submitted a request
for removal to the district council.
It informed him his request had
been forwarded to KiwiRail.
He did not hear back from
KiwiRail and the graffiti remained
there several days later,
so he phoned its 0800 number.
However, the property department
extension rang but no-one
answered. He then managed to
get hold of a KiwiRail contractor
he knew in the Malvern area.

Patrol’s bid to remove
graffiti denied
‘Famous for their roasts!’
The contractor told him he had
not been informed of the job from
KiwiRail. As the weeks dragged
on, with no sign of the graffiti
being removed, the contractor declined
a request from Polglase to
allow Malvern Community Patrol
members to paint over the graffiti.
Polglase said he and fellow patrol
members were frustrated by the
delay as the district council would
remove graffiti on its property
within two days.
A KiwiRail spokesperson told
Selwyn Times graffiti removal
was undertaken by its work gangs,
which promptly removed “offensive
or threatening” graffiti.
KiwiRail had organised for the
Darfield graffiti to be removed by
the area’s team members “when
they are next at the site and have
the staff availability, resources
and time to remove it.”
The job could not be undertaken
by members of the public.

generation legacy
FOURTH-generation
Hororata resident and
historian, Kate Foster,
has been named the 2022
Hororata Highland Games
chieftain.
Kate is the ‘keeper of
the local stories’, not just
of her family but of the
Hororata community, she
is passionate about the
history of the area.
A descendant of
prominent politician Sir
John Hall, remembered as
a parliamentary advocate
for the Votes for Women
campaign, Kate has deep
roots in Hororata.
Sir John Hall was
passionate about the
community of Hororata
and the wider area. In
the 19th-century he was
involved with establishing
many of the facilities that
are use today such as the
domain, the hall and the
church.
He was an innovative
farmer pioneering
new technologies on his
run, Terrace Station. Kate
now lives in the Terrace
Station homestead, her
ancestral home, and is
a trustee of the Terrace
Station Charitable Trust
which is responsible for
its care as a listed heritage
building.
“This rural area is
renowned for leading
the way, innovating, and
making things happen for
its community,’’ Foster
said. “The Hororata
Domain, where the Games
is held, has been in the care
of the community for 144
years and has hosted many
wonderful events.

Legal Matters
Legal Quarrel? Don’t rest
on your laurels!
If you believe that you have a
legal claim, New Zealand law
requires that you actively take
steps to pursue it within a defined
period of time. If you fail to do so,
the claim cannot proceed. This is
known as the limitation period.
In a debt recovery/money claims
context, a person usually only has
a period of six years to recover
the debt before the limitation
periods prohibits them from
doing so.
Section 11 of the Limitation Act
2010 records that it is a defence
to a claim for money if the
defendant can prove that the
date on which the claim is filed is
at least 6 years after the date of
the act or omission on which the
claim is based. The law requires
claimants to make claims for
monetary or other relief without
undue delay by providing
defendants with defences to stale
claims.
The six-year timeframe
commences on the date the
debt is owed to the creditor, or
the date the debtor last makes
part payment of the debt. If the
creditor fails to actively pursue
the debt within the limitation
period, they will be precluded
from doing so at a later date.
The limitation period may
be extended in certain
circumstances, such as by a “late
knowledge date”. For monetary
claims the late knowledge
extension is 3 years, with a 15
year long-stop.
The purpose of the limitation
period is to promote the prompt
application of justice. It prevents
people from making old claims
against others and, if creditors
fail to bring their claim within
the prescribed timeframe, they
risk being unable to bring a claim
altogether.
Get in contact with us early to
discuss your claim, or the claim
that has been brought against
you. We can assess the limitation
period together with any other
causes of action, or defences,
depending on what side of
the claim are you on. We have
experts in this area of the law
ready to take away some of the
stress and to assist you.

Tough start for newcomers Peninsula
COUNTRY cricket’s premier
newcomers Peninsula-Harbour
received a baptism of fire
on Saturday, suffering a sixwicket
loss to Weedons on the
opening day of the new season.
Just days after a polar blast
brought snow to the region’s
alpine and low-lying areas,
sunshine welcomed the start of
the 2022/23 Canterbury Country
Premier One Day competition.
Weedons, Darfield, Leeston-
Southbridge and Sefton had winning
starts at the weekend in the
race for the Fulton/Wright Cup.
At a picturesque Rhodes Park
on the fringe of the Port Hills,
home XI Peninsula-Harbour, who
won promotion to the top flight
last year, was upset by one of the
competition favourites, Weedons.
Opener Ben Cairns (34 runs off
55 balls) looked solid at the top of
the order on a greenish but pacy
wicket, but didn’t have anyone
stick around with him.
And when Jack Parker removed
him caught-and-bowled, as one
of his four wickets, the home side
were struggling, especially against
the quality spin twins of the bigturning
Blake Coburn (2/22) and
left-arm orthodox Jeremy Benton
(1/12), and were all out in the
37th over for a sub-par score of
128.
Defending the small total,
the combined side got the start
they would’ve talked about at
the change of innings and had
Weedons reeling early at 8/2.
But James Richards showed
his class with a fine half-century,
with Todd Inness (25 off 33) and
Benton finishing the job with an
unbeaten 25 runs off 51 balls.
Reigning champions Darfield
thumped a disappointing
Ohoka by nine wickets, after rolling
the visitors for just 125.
Jesse Frew and Liam Foulkes
both snared three wickets in
restricting a powerful batting unit
to a meagre score that was never
enough.
Henry Shipley, who had a
breakout season for Canterbury
last year and was named player of
the year along with best bowler,
made an unbeaten 49, and was
there with Nick Jenkins (47 not
out) when they knocked off the
win inside 17 overs.
Leeston Park witnessed some

major milestones on Saturday,
with the home team Leeston-
Southbridge securing a hardfought
win over Cheviot behind a
match-winning unbeaten century
from Harry Chamberlain and five
wickets, including a hat-trick by
ex-Dutch international and Canterbury
Country cricket manager
Tim Gruijters.
The visiting Magpies made
181/9 in their allotted 45 overs
behind a well-made 46 from rising
star Archie Redfern.
Leeston-Southbridge timed
their chase well, largely thanks to
a superb knock from Chamberlian
whose 101 not out guided his
side to a five-wicket win with four
overs to spare.
Sefton crushed Oxford-Rangiora
by 145 runs after an impressive
all-round display.
Batting first at Sefton Domain,
the Seals made 217/5 in their 45
overs, with contributions through
the order, before rolling Oxford-
Rangiora, which has picked up
some Southbrook players after
the ‘Brook’s struggles last season,
for just 72.

Peninsula-Harbour 128 (B Cairns

Kakaha Park weaves new
opportunities for recreation
A new Springs Ward park will weave together the history of the Canterbury
plains with opportunities to make new stories in sports and recreation.
The first stage of Kakaha Park on Birchs and Leadleys Road south of
Prebbleton is set to open in late November, with sports fields, a dog exercise
area and off-road cycling and walking trails among the first areas to open.
The name Kakaha Park has been gifted to the Selwyn District by Te Taumutu
Rūnanga and Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga for the 22 hectare park.
Kakaha is the Māori word for the plant species Astelia fragrans or bush lily –
a native flax-like plant often used for weaving by Māori, in conjunction with
harakeke, kiekie, pīngao, to provide different colours and texture.
The name Kakaha Park recognises the location of this park in the network of
mahika kai (food gathering) sites on Kā Pākihi Whakatekateka o Waitaha, the
Canterbury Plains. There is evidence of kakaha on the Canterbury Plains prior
to European settlement.
“We’re really grateful to both rūnanga for gifting us a beautiful name that ties
in with the history of the area and the unique nature of this park, which will be
something different for Selwyn. All plants in Kakaha Park will be New Zealand
natives, so the name fits nicely with that. The connection to the trails and
sites of mahika kai is special as well, as this park links in with the existing rail
trail cycle network and our modern trails across the Plains, connecting from
Lincoln through to Prebbleton and on,” says Council Acting Major Projects
Manager Phil Millar.
The $17.2 million park is a three-stage project, providing additional recreation
space for the rapidly growing area.
The first stage will include three full-size and one half-size lit playing fields,
wide walking and cycling paths, and a number of cycle features such as
jumps, boardwalks and a snake run, as well as a mini playground, car parking
and toilets.
The further stages will see a changing room and car parking opening next
year, followed by more off-road bike trails, a water way and large areas of
native planting over the next five years.

Apply now for 2023 Selwyn Youth Council
Young people who want to make a difference in their community and provide a voice for youth are
being encouraged to put their name forward for the Selwyn Youth Council.
Applications for next year’s Youth Council are now open to those aged 12-24 years, who live in the
Selwyn district. Applications are welcome until 31 October 2022.
“Being on the Council is a really good way to advocate for things that are important to young people
in the Selwyn District,” Chair Rue Jeche says. “If you want something to change, it’s one of the best
ways to go about it.”
Among the issues the Youth Council has worked on in the last year were collecting young people’s
views on vaping and smoking, and how youth are celebrated in the district. It was instrumental in
helping to decide what would go in the Rolleston town centre youth space, and made decisions on
funding for the Selwyn Youth Project Fund. The Youth Council has also attended civil and Council
events, including CultureFest.
Prospective youth councillors need to be available to attend meetings and events across Selwyn,
and be able to work with other people as part of a team.
Overall, the Council needs to broadly represent Selwyn district’s young people in relation to gender,
geography, age, ethnicity and skills.
The full Youth Council meets several times throughout the year, but Rue says most members are
part of sub-committees that meet every few weeks to deal with specific issues in more depth.
To see the selection process or apply to be on next year's Youth Council, visit selwyn.govt.nz/
community/youth-council. Application forms must be completed by Monday 31 October.

orb-weaver spiders
I LOVE orb-weaver
spiders, not just because of
their spiral wheel-shaped
webs, but also for their
diversity of colours and
shapes.
A reddish coloured one
I found last week in the
garden was identified as
the sooty orb-weaver (Salsa
fuliginata).
It appears to have been
originally placed in the
genus Cyclosa containing
180 other species but has
recently been reviewed by
arachnologists and placed
in a new genus called Salsa
containing only seven
species from Australia,
Papua New Guinea, New
Caledonia and Lord Howe
Island.
Salsa fuliginata was
first recorded in New
Zealand in the 1800s
but appeared to have
died out as they were not
recorded again until 2008
when photographed in
Hamilton.
The sooty orb-weaver
has a large variety of colour
patterns, making them
hard to describe. Body
length also varies, with
females at 11mm and
males only 7mm long.
Orb-weaver spiders such
as these are known to
disperse by ballooning
on silk threads in wind
currents across the Tasman
Sea from Australia to New
Zealand.
It is quite likely this

introduced species has
arrived here in the same
way. Taxonomists often
name their new species or
genera after an anatomical
part of an organism, or the
location it was found, or
someone famous, but in
this case the authors who
named this genus Salsa
did so because it was their
favourite dance.

RACING 27
Murray Edmonds – one of the
genuine ‘nice guys’ of the game
• By Frank Marrion
THERE WERE no surprises
when the support for Murray
Edmonds’ recent fundraising
night at Addington proved quite
overwhelming.
Edmonds was one of the genuine
‘nice guys’ of the game who
would pretty much do anything
for anybody and one never heard
a bad word about him.
The overall support extended
to Edmonds and wife Kelly was
also overwhelming during his
brief illness with a brain tumour.
Edmonds died last week at the
age of 62 – it was only about 10
weeks ago that out of the blue he
collapsed while feeding out and
was rushed to hospital.
The initial diagnosis was
encouraging but the tumour
proved inoperable and Edmonds
lost the use of his left arm and
leg, which was shattering for a
man who liked to keep active
and loved working his horses.
Edmonds had trained next to
the Motukarara racecourse for
38 years and had the last of 377
wins when Get Back scored at
Addington in late August.
Watching Our Coin and
Gerard O’Reilly had briefly
looked like giving Edmonds a
fairytale ending by winning at
Addington a fortnight ago on
his fundraising night, which was
sold out in a matter of hours.
The large crowd on hand for
the event erupted when Watching
Our Coin hit the front at the
100m mark, but he was nabbed
right on the line by Rakanotta
and Carter Dalgety, beaten just a
half head.
Edmonds usually drove his
own team and had 345 wins in
that respect, the last with Watching
Our Coin at Addington in
February.
He was driving right up until
the time of his surprise and fatal
illness.
Watching Our Coin pretty
much summed up Edmonds’ attitude
to training for his owners.
He was acutely aware of the
costs involved in racing horses
and did his utmost to keep them
to a minimum, often doing stuff
for people without charging
them.
He avoided calling vets whenever
possible although Kelly used
to be a vet nurse for Bob McKay
in Riccarton and between them
they could usually manage most
issues.
“That was probably to his
detriment to some extent, but it
summed up how much he cared
about people,” said younger
brother Craig.
“He was very loyal to his owners
and his owners were very
loyal to him.
“Guys that worked for him
along the way like Michael
Howard, Darren Simpson, Todd
Macfarlane and Brent White,
they became like family.
“Brent actually lived on the
property for quite a while.”
Howard and his father Graham
were among those to help
with the team when Edmonds
was sidelined.
Ray McNally also helped out
stable employee Brett Gillan in
those remaining months and
many others contributed in other
ways.
“Jimmy Curtin would also
come and help with fast work
along with Tim Williams when
he could.”
The Edmonds family grew up
in Lower Hutt and Craig can
recall being introduced to trainers
at nearby Hutt Park by an
Irishman called Wesley ‘Paddy’
Armstrong when they were
about 9-10.
“I wound up helping out Bill
Marwick and Murray worked
by Brian Hunter, a cousin of Ian
Hunter and I think Charlie.
“Trainers would also come up
from Canterbury and Murray
wound up working for Colin
Berkett in his school holidays.
“He moved to Canterbury
when he was 18 and Colin also
had Mike DeFilippi working for
him in those days.
“When Mike went out of his
own, he asked Murray to work
for him.”
Edmonds married when he
was 24 and bought the Motukarara
property shortly after from
Alex Purdon.
His first training win was with
Idle Thoughts, who Edmonds
drove to win a double at the
Marlborough meeting in February,
1986.
Edmonds had already driven
several winners at that point
including 15 as a junior driver,
the first with the Mike DeFilippitrained
Abel Royal at Methven
in September, 1979, or 43 years
ago.
Abel Royal was raced by
Edmonds’ mother Gloria so he
was no doubt doing much of the
work with him.
Edmonds had his first big
win when Anvil Lad won the
Group 2 Forbury Park 4yo Pacing
Championship in February,
1992, with DeFilippi driving.
Anvil Lad had been purchased
by Graham Beirne after
qualifying for Edmonds and was
Beirne’s first horse.
He won nine races with Edmonds
driving him in the other
eight, with the last of them at
Addington when he beat Blossom
Lady.
Edmonds took Anvil Lad to
the Inter Dominions at Albion
Park in April, 1993, but failed to
qualify for the final won by Jack
Morris.
Murray
Edmonds
had
considerable
harness
racing
success. He
died last
week.
Edmonds trained and drove
the filly Breton Abbe to win
the Hambletonian Classic a
few weeks after that Forbury
Park feature and a few months
later, they won the Group 2
Rosso Antico Trotting Stakes in
Auckland.
The Rosso Antico became the
Group 1 Great Northern Trotting
Derby in 2002.
Edmonds won 18 races that
season and 22 the following year,
while he achieved a career high
24 training wins in 2000 and had
23 in 2008.
It was in the winter of 1999
that Edmonds won the Sales
Series race for two-year-old trotters
with Flip Flop in Auckland,
while Sun Del (2nd in Trotting
Stakes, Sires Stakes & Sales race
at two) and New Year Whiz (2nd
NZ Trotting Derby) were other
top young trotters in the stable
around that time.
Edmonds was going to win
the Sales race for two-year-old
trotters at Addington in 2006,
but Ronnie Coute galloped after
hitting the front less than 100m
from the finish. The Sundon
gelding redeemed himself 10
months later by winning the
three-year-old Sales race.
Around this time, Edmonds
had his best performer in Running
On Time, like Ronnie
Coute another Sundon gelding
which had been bought at the
yearling sales by Eric ‘Cookie’
Inward of Nelson.
Running On Time was beaten
by Sovereignty in the Sires Stakes
and the Great Northern Derby in
2008 and the following year he
finished third in the Group 1 NZ
Trotting FFA on Cup Day, beaten
half a length by Speculate.
Running On Time won 10
races and $138,000, while a
short time later Edmonds
trained a good Muscle Mass
trotting filly for Inwood in K D
Muscles.
She was second in the Sales
race at three at Addington
to Thebestlove and was also
runner-up in the Trotting Oaks
to Majestic Time before a sale to
Australia, where she won nine
races in nine months in Victoria
and finished second in the
Group 1 Knight Pistol to Sunny
Ruby.
Not long after, Edmonds
trained a son of Muscle Mass in
Heavyweight Hero as a two-yearold
for Inwood.
Edmonds drove him to finish
second in the Sales race and
third in the Sires Stakes at Addington
to Enghien.
But following the passing of
Inwood, the family wanted the
horses gone, so Edmonds arranged
his sale to Todd Macfarlane,
and in his first race for him,
Heavyweight Hero was beaten a
head at the Jewels in Cambridge
by Custodian.
Edmonds’ name had become
synonymous with trotters over
the years and 215 or almost twothirds
of his training wins were
with them.
Anvil Lad was easily the best
of his pacers while he trained
another good one for Beirne in
Anvil James before his sale to
Western Australia.
One of Edmonds’ last pacing
winners in Teds Legacy is being
raced by another one of his loyal
owners in Ian Sunckell, a son of
Ted who also had horses with
Edmonds.
Teds Legacy and Get Back
were Edmonds’ last starters in
the same race at Addington last
Friday night.
Edmonds’ oldest son Scott
used to be the track manager at
Motukarara and helped out Edmonds
at the stables from time
to time.
He now owns a couple of gyms
and has a landscaping business,
while Edmonds’ daughter Lisa
is a beautician and runs her
business out of one of those
gyms in Lincoln.

With the cold snap over, plant now
• By Henri Ham
OCTOBER is here and other
than the recent cold snap
gardeners are taking advantage
of the warmer weather to ramp
up production from their
vegetable gardens.
Cucumber, chillies, tomato
varieties, pumpkin are already
available and more are on the
way.

1 Deadhead flowers to encourage
more growth
2 Clean your garden tools,
apply some olive oil to prevent
rust.
3 Remove moss from paths and
driveways.
4 Feed strawberries and passionfruit.
5 Keep mulching for soil
moisture retention and to reduce
weed growth.
6 Stagger planting quick consumables
like lettuces.
Edible garden
You’ve been waiting and here
they are. Cucumbers, chillies,
pumpkins, tomatoes, rhubarb,
kohlrabi and zucchini.
For new gardeners, zucchini,
tomatoes, lettuces are easy vegetables
to grow.
An all-time favourite is
kumara. Kumara has a wonderful
taste and can be cooked in
many different ways – roasted,
steamed, boiled, and even
candied. Get your kumara beds
ready. Kumara prefers a nonacidic
soil. Stagger planting

that there are flowers in bloom
in your garden at the same time
your vegetable plants are flowering.
This will help increase your
yield.
Herb garden
Get your herb gardens established
before summer. Planting
herbs next to vegetables also
helps repel pests. Coriander,
parsley, dill, oregano seedlings
are already available.
Lawn care
As we welcome new growth,
let’s not forget our lawns.
The mix of rain and sunny
weather will make your lawns
grow quickly this time of the
year.
Keep them healthy by using
lawn fertiliser. It contains
nitrogen that encourages healthy
growth and fights against disease
while suppressing weeds. It also
has phosphorus which helps
with root growth and sulphate

and green.
This is the time to experiment.
Try new vegetables and grow
new flowers.

GARDENING 31
RICH: It’s time to add fertiliser or compost to the garden and have stakes ready to secure your tomatoes.
Prepare soil before it’s too late
FOR MANY years, Labour
Weekend has been the traditional
time for planting out a full range
of summer vegetables and flowers.
Hopefully you have planned
ahead and prepared your soil
ready for planting. If not, then
add in plenty of compost or
garden mix and combine well
with your existing soil before you
plant out.
There is something special
about growing your own vegetables
– watching them grow from
seed/seedling to a scrumptious
crop through your own tender
loving care might be why they
taste better!
No matter how big or small the
space available; you can successfully
grow veges in regular garden
beds, raised beds or in pots and
containers.
Tasty vegetables to plant now
include beans, beetroot, carrots,
celery, corn, cucumber, onions,
peas, pumpkin, radish, potatoes,
spinach, tomatoes and zucchini,
not to mention the great range of
lettuces available.
If space really is an issue,
there are plenty of dwarf
varieties you can grow. For
plants that need support like
tomatoes or beans, put your
support stakes/structures in place
before you plant your young
plant – so you don’t disturb the
roots later on. Use old pantyhose
to tie plants to support structures
– they are soft, so won’t damage
the stem.
Summer flowering annuals
can also be planted now in either
Garden
In the
beds or large containers. Flower
varieties to grow are alyssum,
aster, cornflower, cosmos, livingstone
daisy, lobelia, marigold,
nemesia, portulaca, petunia, statice,
salvia, stock, sunflowers and
zinnia – to name just a few.
Also, think about planting
some varieties in your vegetable
garden to help attract bees and
other beneficial insects to aid
pollination.
Fresh herbs can also now be
safely planted, such as basil,
chives, dill, marjoram, mint,
oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon,
thyme and rosemary.
They can be grown successfully
in containers or in the garden,
preferring a hot, free-draining
site.
As trees and shrubs come
into spring growth use fertiliser
include your fruit and citrus
trees.
Do not apply fertiliser in very
dry hot conditions such as the
peak of summer when plants
can suffer from heat or moisture
stress.
with intelligro
The cost of buying fresh produce has gone up
significantly, so why not try your hand at growing
your own. As the weather warms up, we can start
to plant more veggie seedlings outside. Vegepods
and planter boxes are great options for starting
out and are great for those that are renting or are
short on space. Fill them with our Veggie Garden
Mix, grab some seedlings and away you go.
Lawn Time
It’s time to fertilise your lawns now, giving them
a good boost going into the growing season. Look
out for signs of red thread, moss and grass grub
and get on top of them before it gets too bad.
Establish a regular watering plan, and raise the
height of your mower slightly. Check out our new

Plug-in hybrid a first for Lexus
IT’S BECOMING a common
conversation when I’m arranging a
time to pick up a media evaluation
car – I’m often told: “It’s on charge
now and will be ready for you later
in the day.’’
On charge meaning it’s an
electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid.
That was the case when I was
confirming the schedule for the
Lexus NX 450h+ F-Sport, a fourcylinder
petrol engine sport utility
vehicle that has hybrid propulsion
and plug-in charging capability.
While hybrids are very familiar
through a host of Lexus and Toyota
products, the NX 450h+ is Lexus’
first plug-in model and I can report
it is a beauty, it carries all of the
typical Lexus attributes along with
the technology that keeps pace
with all of the luxury brands. It
must be said, too, that the driveline
across the NX hybrid range is
a development, it is the latest
generation hybrid system and it is
remarkably sophisticated.
The NX series has entered a new
generation, it’s just landed and it
is bold yet beautiful in terms of
design and style. There are three
variants – a self-charging hybrid
(NX 350h) and the NX 450h+. In
both variants the petrol engine is
aided by electric motors. The NX
350h is front-wheel-drive, with one
motor helping to drive the front
wheels; the NX 350h Limited and
the NX 450h+ are all-wheel drive,
with two motors – one helping to
drive the front wheels and a second
driving the rear wheels.
With the bigger battery, the NX
450h+ has a longer electric-only
drive range and more power than
the self-charging hybrid. Lexus
claims an 87km distance can be
travelled on electric power only
and, as with all of today’s electric
models, charging can be made
from a designated charge port
using the type 2 cable, or from
domestic supply using a three-pin
outlet.
The latter was what I used and it’s
important to me that the cable has
good length; I’m pleased to report
at 8m it is a whopper, by far being
the most generous I’ve experienced
with any EV, it easily reached the
plug in my garage.
Sure, good time is needed to
charge from domestic supply (five
to nine hours), but if you get into
the habit of plugging in, it’s quite
easy to maintain the batteries to
the top end. If you are in a rush,
Lexus claim 80 per cent of capacity
can be reached in 30min from the
nationwide charging stations.
On the subject of figures, Lexus
lists the NX 450h+ with 136kW
and 227Nm from the petrol
engine. Add in 134kW/270Nm
from the front electric motor and
40kW/121Nm from the rear and
TECHNOLOGY: The NX 450h+ will charge from low
capacity to 80 per cent in around 30min at a designated
charge port.
LEXUS NX 450h+ F-SPORT: New generation model has bold design and styling cues.
you have startling performance on
offer.
With such high outputs there
is no shortage of what is needed
to accelerate and make pace with
traffic. The NX 450h+ is quick
with a standstill to 100kmh time of
6.3sec and 4.7sec to make 120km/h
from 80km/h, the highway
overtake very spirited and relaxing
as a driver.
More importantly are the figures
of battery capacity, the NX 450h+
has the highest output Lexus/
Toyota offer at 18.1kWh.
Of course, when battery capacity
is depleted, the driveline returns
to normal petrol only mode, and
it’s also in that mode where engine
development really makes a point,
fuel thrift is engineered into the
manufacturing process, the 2487cc
unit is rated with a 5.5-litre per
100km combined cycle average. At
best possible usage there’s also the
1.4l/100km figure that comes with
full hybrid mode.
Not only is the NX 450h+ a
masterpiece in terms of efficiency,
it is the epitome of quality and
luxury that you can always expect
from the company, it is sublime
in its sophistication, and that
should be a given after paying over
$100k.
To be precise, the NX 450h+
sits at $107,990, the NX 350h
and NX 350h Ltd list at $92,700
and $101,900 respectively.
• Price – Lexus NX 450h+,
$107,900
• Dimensions – Length,
4660mm; width,
1865mm; height,
1670mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheeldrive,
2487cc, 136kW,
227Nm, continuously
variable automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.3sec
• Fuel usage – 1.4l/100km
Unfortunately, they are well over
the $80k threshold that would
net you a Government Clean Car
Programme rebate.
Column space won’t allow for
comprehensive detailing but I can
report that everything that can
be built into the car is there for
comfort, convenience and safety.
In true Lexus fashion the entire
NX series is plush, and given it is
a mid-to-full size SUV there is no
shortage of space so the feeling of
comfort is well emphasised.
On the road the NX 450h+
cruises sedately, it covers ground
quickly and quietly, it is the
quintessential SUV in terms of
how it travels, but it has hidden
depth in terms of handling. Even
though it is tall at over 1.6m, there
is little gravitational force over the
suspension, the spring and damper
rates have quality settings that
are biased towards comfort, but
somehow the balance in a corner is
perfect, while the suspension deals
to road ripples without an in-cabin
effect.
Even though four-wheel-drive
is constant, the NX 450h+ isn’t a
cross-country charger, but with
188mm of ground clearance it
has a system that will allow you
to explore tracks that don’t have
severe undulations.
Although, to do that you
may need to get your order
in quick-smart because like
most of today’s new models
the NX 450h+ is chock-full of
electronic components and that
makes it difficult to source the
semi-conductors in this age of
supply shortages, resulting in
manufacturing delays. There’s no
doubt there will be a lengthy wait
for a new NX but it will be well
worth it.
I adore the NX 450h+, it reeks of
refinement and the interior layout
is exquisite in terms of materials,
level of specification and attention
to detail, which all adds up to
high comfort levels, and that is
something that Lexus has focussed
on ever since it landed in our
market in 1989.
I’m due to drive the NX 350
Limited soon, I simply can’t wait.

What build requirements are there?
Explore what a new stage will look like.
Buying in a subdivision
Section availability is mostly in new
housing estates and the district generally
has a number to choose from, especially in
Rolleston and Lincoln.
Factors influencing section choice will be:
the distance from your workplace, ease of
travelling, services available, size and price
of available sections, and where you would
like to live.
Ground conditions may also be a
consideration. In Selwyn, the land
is generally good for building with
only a standard 364 foundation often
required. Many people are choosing a
RibRaft foundation as it offers seismic
strengthening and may work out more
economical.
A factor which should be high on your
list should be the covenants a developer has
in place and whether these will present any
issues for you.
Any new housing subdivision is likely
to have covenants stipulating what can
and cannot be constructed, in terms of
minimum and maximum house size on
a given section, and aesthetic features
like the roof pitch, acceptable claddings,
landscaping and what is permitted on view
from the street.
The covenants will be supplied with the
Purchase and Sale Agreement. Read these,
asking your lawyer for advice and checking
with your builder to ensure these can be
met before signing on the dotted line.
Before finalising your house plan
with your builder and building consent
application is lodged with Council, send
this and a landscape plan to the developer
for approval. This will avoid costly changes
or problems down the line. There may
be a charge associated with Developer’s
Approval or a refundable bond may be
incurred. This process is put in place to
protect the overall look and integrity of
the housing estate and ensure any damage
incurred during construction is put right.
Certain covenants may seem annoying
however, they protect the environment you
are buying into and can be accommodated
with good design.
The standard of builds in respective
subdivisions may vary from smaller
economic housing to larger sections and
homes. There may also be variations in
the features in each subdivision such as
the street width, number of children’s play
areas, walkways and beautification.
Where you are purchasing off a plan for
a section in a new stage of a subdivision,
ask questions so you appreciate what the
area will ultimately look like. Doing your
homework will help give you surety that
what is proposed will happen. This includes
when title is due, something which can be
slowed by Council consent requirements or
the weather delaying earthworks.
Closeness to schools, shops and public
transport may also be considerations,
especially if you want your children to have
independence by walk to school, a park
or sporting activities. Consider how each
subdivision might suit your lifestyle.

Buying a property with trees
enjoyment of their land, which means
that you can’t let your trees become a
problem at their place (and vice versa).
If your neighbours have trees that are
giving you grief, think carefully before
swinging an axe or chainsaw. Legally, you
are entitled to trim any branches or roots
from a tree (or large shrub, or plant) that
encroach on your property unless they
are protected, in which case you may
need resource consent first. However, for
the sake of being a decent human being,
it’s a good idea to talk to the tree’s owners
first. Don’t be tempted to take matters
into your own hands and poison the tree,
or trespass onto a neighbour’s property
to chop parts of it off. One way to resolve
the situation is to seek advice from a
professional arborist. Getting an expert
to prune the tree in a way that doesn’t
destroy it completely will be far cheaper
than engaging a lawyer.
In the worst-case scenario, if you can’t sort
out tree issues with a chat over the fence
or the aid of an arborist, it may be time to
seek help from the Disputes Tribunal or
the District Court. If the trees are causing
a nuisance, such as blocking views and/
or light, and you’re unable to come to an
agreement with the neighbour, you can
apply to the District Court for an order to
get the neighbour to trim or remove the
tree.
For independent advice on buying or
selling property, check out settled.govt.
nz.
Whoever said ‘the best time to plant a tree
was 20 years ago’ obviously never dealt
with overhanging branches, wayward
roots or grumpy neighbours. As anyone
who lives in a leafy area will tell you, trees
can cause no end of bother. Trees can
block views, damage fences and interfere
with power lines. Roots can disrupt pipes,
branches can reduce sunlight availability,
leaves can block gutters and windfall fruit
can attract rodents. It’s a wonder people
ever plant them!
These problems are often caused by wellmeaning
property owners who plant
trees without thinking about how big
they will grow. By the time a tree is wellestablished,
it may be already wreaking
havoc both overhead and underground.
Overhanging branches may present
obvious hassles, but tree roots are usually
out of sight, out of mind until they start
to snaking their way into retaining walls,
foundations or drains (at which point they
become difficult to ignore and expensive
to re-route).
If you own a property, you are allowed
to do whatever you like to your trees,
within the bounds of the law that says
you have the right to the ordinary use and
enjoyment of your land. This is subject
to any protection that may apply to your

Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show
homes to demonstrate their
workmanship, display innovative
design ideas and present a snapshot
into a new and luxurious lifestyle,
featuring all the latest in materials,
fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
So what are you waiting for? Check
out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Faye Homes showcases the
latest trends for new builds
The Te Whariki show home village
in Lincoln provides an opportunity to
discover what’s new in the new home
world by revisiting companies to see the
latest designs and trends.
Faye Homes is no exception with their
Southfield Drive corner property bringing
a new development in kitchens that is,
according to their sales team, popular
overseas, particularly in apartment living.
In the kitchen two matching vertical bifold
doors fold out from recesses in front of
the oven to match up with the cupboard
doors on the left and the pantry doors on
the right.
Other upgrade options that feature
include the skylights and sun tunnels,
ducted heating, schist cladding (to match
the internal schist wall in the hallway) and
the outdoor gas fire.
In the kitchen, stylish Bosch appliances
and black tapware create an impression
while the fridge sits in the pantry with
a third sink available for the after party
clean-up.
The Te Whariki show home also
continues to surprise with a clever setup
in the family bathroom with separate
basin, toilet and shower areas that can be
shut off from each other – imagine how
much easier that would make the morning
rush!
Featuring the impressive outdoor fire, a
large sheltered deck can be accessed from
the lounge and living rooms - and the
kitchen – opening out towards the huge
corner section. The perfect space to create
another room for entertaining and long
summer nights.
A second smaller deck opens from the
master bedroom which also has a walkin-robe
which takes up the entire width
of the room. There are three other double
bedrooms suitable for a range of family
sizes or separate study spaces.
A galley style laundry is spacious with
heaps of storage and opens outdoors
making washing day more convenient. In
the double garage there is a Tesla charging
unit for electric vehicles – a definite plus
these days.
The Faye Homes in Southfield Drive
is well worth a visit and is open from
Wednesdays to Sundays, 12pm until 4pm.
