Daily plunge ahead 

of world ice champs 

• By Susan Sandys 

TAKING A daily dip in a chest 

freezer isn’t most people’s idea of 

having fun. 

But for Hannah Drury it is all 

part of her training as she prepares 

for the world ice swimming 

championships. 

For the last two months the 

44-year-old, of Rolleston, has 

got into the three-degree water, 

bathing for six minutes up to her 

neck. She has recently stretched 

her acclimatisation goal for the 

worlds in Samoëns in France in 

January further by immersing her 

face as well. 

“Because there’s lots of nerve 

endings in your face, when your 

face gets cold it makes you want 

to gasp,” she said. 

She said the freezer was turned 

on for a couple of hours at a time, 

to get the water temperature to 

one to three degrees. 

Drury said she doesn’t generally 

like the cold, and rugged up 

in winter to keep warm. 

But she does enjoy her new 

sporting passion, after trying 

it for the first time this year 

and qualifying for the world 

championships.

lowest 

since May 

SELWYN PROPERTY prices 

dropped to their lowest level 

since May in the latest Real Estate 

Institute of New Zealand data. 

The median price for houses in 

the district was $810,000 for the 

month of September, compared to 

$829,000 in August. In May, the 

median was $805,000, the lowest 

level so far this year since a peak 

of $895,000 in March following 

record price rises in the previous 

12 months. 

The decline to 

$810,000 was in 

spite of a rise in the 

overall Canterbury 

median, up four 

per cent on the 

month of August, 

buoyed by big 

increases to the 

medians in the 

Jen Baird 

districts of Timaru and Kaikōura. 

Chief executive Jen Baird said 

market activity was steady in 

September for Canterbury. 

“But a feeling of uncertainty 

amongst buyers and vendors 

lingers, influenced by business 

challenges, rising interest rates, 

and the economy generally.”

PUN TOTALLY intended 

here: Hannah Drury is one 

cool lady. 

So cool, in fact, she has a 

daily routine of getting into 

a water-filled chest freezer; 

the water being three 

degrees. 

She’s preparing for 

the world ice swimming 

championships (see page 1) 

in France in January. Like 

any top athlete she needs to 

train. But the water now 

isn’t cold here, so what better 

way to get the body used 

to what lies ahead than to 

improvise. A chest freezer 

full of very cold water does 

the trick.

• By Nikki Preston 

A COUPLE who has managed 

to snag their first home at the 

young ages of 19 and 21 say even 

they are surprised at how quickly 

it happened. 

Emily Walker, 19, and Bradyn 

Taylor, 21, only started saving 

for their first home at the start of 

this year and were not expecting 

to be in a position to have a 10 

per cent deposit needed to buy a 

house until 2023. 

But four weeks ago, a threebedroom 

home in Rolleston 

caught Walker’s eye while she 

was scrolling through a property 

website one night. 

They did a quick search on 

OneRoof to check the property 

estimate and when it looked like 

it could be within reach, they 

quickly arranged a private viewing. 

Two days later they submitted 

their offer with just two hours to 

spare before the deadline closed 

and were shocked to hear their 

conditional offer of $550,000 had 

been accepted. The offer is also 

the maximum amount they can 

spend in Christchurch to 

be eligible for the First Home 

Grant. 

“It was mental,” Walker said. 

Walker, who works on a service 

desk for an IT company, and 

Taylor, a landscape gardener, had 

been looking at suburbs all over 

Christchurch and had initially 

thought Rolleston was over their 

budget. 

The 1980s home on Byron St 

had been a rental property so 

had some minor paint chips, 

but Walker didn’t expect the 

cosmetic work to cost too much 

to fix. 

“It’s a bit of an older home. It’s 

definitely not the nicest one in 

Rolleston, but it’s hopefully going 

to look amazing by the time 

we are done with it. 

“We thought it would be an 

amazing opportunity because of 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

how much Rolleston is growing 

and I think it’s going to just continue 

climbing from there.” 

After their conditional offer 

was accepted, the couple then 

worked with their mortgage 

brokers at Loan Market and by 

gaining approval for Kāinga 

Ora’s First Home Grant and First 

Home Loan they were able to 

secure their first home with just 

a five per cent deposit. 

The property went unconditional 

two weeks ago and Walker 

said she’s still in shock. 

“It was incredible. Honestly, 

we thought we were not going to 

get it because of how hard it has 

been for lots of buyers.” 

Walker said they saved their 

$32,000 contribution by being 

really careful with their spending 

this year. Their deposit was 

further bolstered by the $20,00 

in their KiwiSaver accounts and 

the First Home Grant. 

“We had been saving non-stop 

and spending as little money as 

possible, but also we wouldn’t be 

missing out on things.” 

Their only bills were rent, utilities 

and groceries so they didn’t 

have any major debts other than 

a couple of credit cards which 

they have now paid off. On the 

budget they set themselves, they 

were still able to save $600 a 

week. 

They also got in a flatmate to 

help pay the rent on their twobedroom 

inner-city apartment 

so they could save more money. 

“We tried not to spend too 

much, but at the same time we 

didn’t feel like we were always 

trapped by the boundaries of 

which we had set ourselves. 

“Something that’s also quite 

amazing is that we had no financial 

help from parents or anyone, 

it was just the banks and Kāinga 

Ora.” 

While moving about 30 minutes 

out of the central city would 

mean Walker would have to 

endure a longer commute on the

days she went into the office, she 

said it was worth it to be paying 

off their own mortgage and not 

someone else’s. 

A lot of people their age 

thought home ownership was a 

pipe dream, she said, but they 

were proof that it is achievable. 

She urged first home buyers 

to also keep any eye out on what 

was for sale as the right property 

could pop up when they least 

expected it. The Government 

increasing the cap on how much 

could be spent on properties 

and still be eligible for the First 

Home Grant had also worked in 

their favour. 

Loan Market mortgage adviser 

Angela Wanoa, who helped 

Taylor and Walker, said it is absolutely 

achievable for first home 

buyers to get in the market now 

as long as they have prepared 

themselves. 

“I seriously think at school 

there’s a real missing piece for 

young people and as soon as kids 

get their first job they should 

start contributing as much as 

they can into KiwiSaver to start 

building your deposit.” 

Keeping short-term debts low 

– or even better not having them 

– and making sure the accounts 

stay within their limits will also 

help people when they apply to 

the bank for their first mortgage, 

she said.

Neighbours disagree over proposed 


NEIGHBOURING Prebbleton 

residents are divided on 

whether to chop their land up 

as the pressure goes on from the 

district council and developers to 

intensify the district. 

Prebbleton is about to increase 

by another 820 sections after 

a successful plan change, and 

would almost double in size if 

two other plan changes are approved. 

Several residents live on one 

of the latest chunks of rural land 

that could go into housing – 

some support development while 

others are avidly opposed. 

The Plan Change 79 rezoning 

application, for 527 sections 

on 37ha on Birchs Rd, recently 

received 36 submissions. 

It comes as the Lincoln Voice 

residents’ group continues to 

fight Plan Change 69 in the Environment 

Court. PC69 would 

see 1710 sections on 190ha of 

rural land. 

Neighbours John and Sue 

Sheaf and Tom and Helen Fraser 

believe PC79 will not be successful 

as the National Policy Statement 

for Highly Productive Land 

came into effect on Monday. 

The PC79 area comprises mostly 

class 1 and 2 soils, which have 

been given enhanced protection 

in the new legislation. 

Nevetheless, they fear it will 

be approved and they will be 

surrounded by fences and dense 

housing, up to three stories high, 

in spite of the PC79 area being 

half a kilometre outside the 

Prebbleton town boundary. 

Sheaf said while rezoning to 

residential would dramatically 

increase the value of their home, 

no money in the world would 

make them want to sell to a 

developer. 

“That’s a matter of principle 

that we are prepared to put our 

bank balance against,” he said. 

Not only did they not want to 

move, they did not want to see 

the valuable soils “going underneath 

houses and asphalt”. 

Sheaf said he and Sue had lived 

happily at their 0.6ha property 

for six years. They had rebuilt the 

interior of their home, cleared 

weeds, and planted the area with 

natives, an orchard and vegetable 

gardens, and had hens for free 

range eggs. 

The Frasers said they had 

PARADISE: No amount of money in the 

world would make John Sheaf want to 

leave his lifestyle section on the outskirts of 

Prebbleton. Sheaf opposes Plan Change 97. 

lived on their 4ha property since 

buying it in 1970 as a bare block. 

They had built their home, planted 

it out, and to this day farmed 

prime lambs there. They enjoyed 

living in a rural environment 

and believed their grandchildren 

would one day take it over and 

bring up their children there. 

“We are the longest-term residents 

within the proposed subdivision. 

We find it incomprehensible 

that someone can apply to 

subdivide our land without our 

consent,” Tom Fraser said. 

“It’s morally wrong, we don’t 

want to shift, but it’s also morally 

wrong to take highly productive 

land and convert it to concrete.” 

The Sheafs and Frasers 

were among the majority of 

submitters who opposed PC79. 

Reasons given by submitters 

also included pressure on 

infrastructure, increase in 

traffic, and oversupply of 

homes following the other two 

Prebbleton plan changes.

plan change 

GROWING: Work 

started this week on 

a 25-hectare block 

on the south side of 

Edward St, Lincoln, 

where about 240 

residential sections 

will go, and next 

to it potentially a 

retirement home.

CLARKE 

Among supporting submitters 

were the Sheafs’ and Frasers’ 

neighbours, who live in the PC79 

area. 

John and Bev Broadway, 

Anthony Sutton, and Jason 

Rademaker submitted separately, 

but outlined the same reasons, 

including that building houses 

would be a better and more efficient 

use of their land, the PC79 

area would be a logical extension 

to the township and it would be 

well-placed to connect with the 

new Kakaha Park across the road. 

The Broadways also said their 

lifestyle block was too small for 

a viable farming business. It was 

currently used for grazing “a few 

sheep and a couple of horses”. 

Rademaker also said Kakaha 

Park would have hundreds of 

car parking spaces and lighting, 

which was more suited to the 

residential lifestyle the subdivision 

would bring. 

The PC79 application was 

made by Birchs Village Ltd, of 

which Ryan Geddes is the sole 

director. He lives in Christchurch 

and is understood to own 

one of the eight blocks of land 

which make up the PC79 area. 

Geddes did not return calls to 

the Selwyn Times. 

Meanwhile, the two remaining 

plan changes pertaining to 

Prebbleton are Plan Change 68, 

for 820 sections on Trents Rd, 

and Plan Change 72, for 295 sections 

on the south side of Trices 

Rd and eastern side of Birchs Rd. 

PC68 is soon to be operative 

after no appeals were received 

by the deadline date of Friday 

last week, while PC72 is being 

appealed in the Environment 

Court. 

New development plus 

retirement home bid 

• By Barry Clarke 

PRELIMINARY groundwork 

is underway on another big 

residential housing development 

in Lincoln, which may eventually 

also see a retirement home next 

to it. 

About 240 sections are 

planned for a 25-hectare site 

bordering Edward St back to the 

Lincoln Wetlands area, a popular 

recreation area for walkers, 

joggers and cyclists, and home to 

numerous bird species. 

Lime Developments owner 

Jack Lin said engineering consents 

are still being worked 

through, but the company 

was able to start preliminary 

ground work to take advantage 

of the spring and early summer 

weather. 

The subdivision was given 

building consent late last year. 

It was hoped the titles for the 

first stage of 62 sections would be 

available by mid next year. 

The proximity of the wetlands, 

Liffey Springs Reserve and 

walking tracks along the 

Ararira-LII River would make 

the development attractive to 

buyers, said Lin. 

The longer term plan was for 

a retirement home to be built on 

land purchased by the company 

on the southern side of Edward 

St and Ellesmere Rd. There were 

discussions with a retirement 

home operator. 

Fencing with marketing would 

soon go up along Ellesmere Rd 

where the residential sections 

were to be developed, he said. 

The subdivision would be 

called Brookvale and the rest 

home, The Sterling, Lincoln.

‘I’m absolutely loving this’ - ice swimmer 

COLD STUFF: Hannah Drury being helped by teammates 

after finishing her first 500m ice swim at the nationals in 

Alexandra. 

• From page 1 

Ice swimming is swimming in 

water with a temperature of five 

degrees or lower, with swimmers 

wearing only their togs, cap and 

goggles. 

Drury said she had not tried 

out the sport until competing in 

the first-ever national championships 

in New Zealand at Alexandra 

in July. Having a background 

as an open water competitor, 

she had been drawn by the challenge 

much colder water would 

provide. 

Her first foray into icy water 

was on the way there, where she 

stopped for a dip in Lake Tekapo. 

She had ended up enjoying the 

swimming events themselves, 

having focused on the end goal 

of completion, rather than the 

pain of the cold on her skin, 

hands and feet. She had also 

been buoyed by the camaraderie 

of fellow swimmers and supporters, 

who had cheered her on. 

“During the swim I was thinking 

‘I’m absolutely loving this,’ 

which was quite a surprise to me, 

I didn’t think I would enjoy doing 

it,” Drury said. 

“Just the feeling when you are 

in there, you feel really alive,” she 

said. 

“It’s not easy, so you feel really 

good when you have succeeded 

at it.” 

The longest she was in the 

water for at the nationals was 

about eight minutes, for a 

500-metre freestyle race. In 

France, she will compete in the 

100-metre butterfly, and 100-metre 

individual medley where she 

will complete one length each of 

freestyle, backstroke, butterfly 

and breast stroke. 

For fitness, Drury is training 

at Lake Rua, swimming there 

twice per week, where the current 

water temperature is about 

12 degrees. She is also doing pool 

swimming three-to-four times 

a week. 

Prior to the championships, 

Drury will travel to England to 

see family with husband Alex 

and their two sons. She will 

then meet up with fellow New 

Zealand team members for a 

pre-championships training 

camp. 

Drury said ideally the lake 

temperature would be around 

four degrees at the champs. But 

as the lake was located in a ski 

resort with snow all around, it 

could easily plummet closer to 

the zero mark. 

Nevertheless, she was looking 

forward to it and could not wait 

to compete. 

“It’s the chance of a lifetime,” 

she said.

Shed fire 

deemed not 

suspicious 

• By Tina Grumball 

A SEVERE fire that gutted a shed 

where a gang-related shooting 

took place has been ruled as nonsuspicious. 

The shed, or workshop, caught 

fire at 9.50pm on Sunday, October 

9. After an investigation, it was 

found that old burn piles had 

been reignited elsewhere. 

Their embers were carried by 

strong winds to the Maddisons 

Rd address and set the structure 

alight. 

Four firetrucks and four tankers 

attended and it was finally 

contained at about half-past midnight. 

The site was also in the news in 

early July when a man was shot. A 

31-year-old Mongols MC affiliate 

was arrested and charged with 

wounding with intent to cause 

grievous bodily harm and unlawful 

possession of a firearm. 

He pleaded not guilty and will 

reappear in Christchurch district 

court on December 15. 

A neighbour nearby said the 

fire was “not a nice wake-up call”. 

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. 

THREE MORE Chorus street

said the task of selecting the

Sea Avery’s A Native Feast and

Ensuring Safer Water – 

Chlorination Upgrades 2022 

New Zealand’s drinking water laws have changed. 

Under the Water Services Act 2021, councils must chlorinate public 

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

started applying for exemptions for its previously unchlorinated supplies 

and is expecting feedback on these applications from Taumata Arowai in 

early 2023. 

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

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

below timetable.

Spring show returns to full glory 

SELWYN SPRING Show 

organisers were thrilled with 

the huge turnout to their annual 

event on Saturday. 

About 14,000 turned out to 

the show on a stunning sunny 

spring day at the Ellesmere A & P 

grounds at Leeston. 

Show president David Birkett 

said he and fellow committee 

members could not have been 

more pleased with how the show 

went as it returned to its full glory 

following the pandemic. A scaleddown 

150th jubilee show was held 

last year after being postponed 

from the previous year. 

“After a two-year break for 

public entry, it was fantastic that 

the show was as popular as ever. 

It was marvellous to see so many 

people,” Birkett said. 

“It takes such a huge effort by 

volunteers and the community to 

put the day on but it is all worth 

it when you see the delight on 

everyone’s faces.”

Call goes out to join emergency services 

BURNHAM ARMY firefighter 

Sophie Wardell is on a mission 

to inspire more young people to 

pursue careers in the emergency 

services. 

The 21-year-old 

is bringing the 

Youth Search and 

Rescue training 

programme to 

Canterbury, after 

it inspired her own 

Sophie 

Wardell 

army career. 

YSAR offers 

a three-year 

programme to 

14-18-year-olds and aims to help 

combat an ageing workforce in 

the search and rescue and emergency 

management sectors. 

Launched 14 years ago, until 

now the programme has only 

been available in Tauranga and 

Auckland. 

Wardell completed the programme 

in Tauranga while she 

was at high school, before joining 

the army in 2019. Having been in 

the army for the past three years 

and now settled in Canterbury, 

she’s ready to “give back”. 

The programme involves 26 

weekly classroom-based training 

sessions and eight outdoor weekend 

exercises a year, in which 

students learn a range of skills, 

from bushcraft and river crossings, 

to first aid and navigation. 

In the second year students

complete modules through partner 

organisations such as Land- 

SAR, Coastguard and AREC, 

and during their third and final 

year they gain competencies in 

managing a full-scale emergency 

response. 

“It was definitely YSAR that 

pushed me towards the army. 

I’ve always loved the outdoors 

and being in the bush,” said 

Wardell. 

“It was so helpful during my 16 

weeks’ basic training at Waiouru. 

When we were out in the middle 

of nowhere and it was freezing 

cold and everyone was complaining, 

I didn’t find it too bad 

because I’d been in worse. 

“It was funny to watch all 

these boys who’d never been in 

the bush before struggle with 

it, and here’s this girl showing 

them how it’s done. I was well 

prepared in terms of navigation 

and bushcraft skills.” 

Wardell said being a firefighter 

with the army joins both her 

passions together. 

“I enjoy being outdoors and 

exercising and I like helping 

people, so I get the best of both 

worlds being an army firefighter. 

I would love to help young 

people get into the emergency 

services and LandSAR.” 

YSAR general manager Steve 

Campbell said YSAR is focused on 

building a robust, diverse future 

workforce in search and rescue 

and emergency management. 

“Research released in 2010 

suggested that 67 per cent of all 

search and rescue volunteers 

were male and over the age of 40. 

It was clear that the emergency 

response sectors were entering 

a period where there was an 

increase in the number of 

volunteers unsuitable for field 

deployment and that this would 

continue to a point of crisis from 

2020 and beyond unless this was 

addressed at a strategic level.”

Helping grow the country

THE QUESTION being raised 

is should the Selwyn ratepayers 

contribute to the costs of the new 

stadium in Christchurch, which 

the budget has already been 

blown out of all proportion. The 

answer is categorically no. 

It is no fault of the Selwyn 

ratepayers the Christchurch 

City Council could not get its 

act together in a timely manner, 

hence the enormous blowout on 

its original budget. 

Now it has the gall to come 

cap-in-hand asking for a 

financial commitment from 

other councils. It is hoped that 

when the time comes the Selwyn 

council has enough backbone 

to say no, given the ratepayers 

of Selwyn are already heading 

for an increase of six per cent in 

the next few years on top of an 

already exorbitant rates bill. 

However, there is another 

option available should the 

need arise. In your rates bill you 

will note there is a Canterbury 

Museum levy of $35, so looking 

outside the box let’s drop this 

levy to $15 and the remaining 

$20 be earmarked for the 

stadium at no extra cost to the 

ratepayers of Selywn. Simple. 

-Trevor Longmuir 

Rolleston 

We agree with contributing to 

the Christchurch stadium. We 

will use it and take the grand 

kids. 

Many people travel into 

Christchurch daily, it’s not 

as though we don’t utilise 

Christchurch infrastructure. 

It is a Canterbury asset. The 

Crusaders are Canterbury, for 

example. 

The fact it was ever allowed 

to so incompetently escalate 

out of control in the first place, 

though, still aggravates 

us. 

-Rob and Pete Davies 

Tai Tapu 


I do not believe any residents, 

whether it be from Selwyn or 

any other region, should be held 

to ransom for the blowout of the 

stadium. 

Times are tough for a lot 

of people. The cost of living 

is continuing to increase and 

increasing the rates by six per 

cent annually will definitely add 

more unnecessary pressure on 

residents. 

A stadium for sports events 

and concerts is considered a 

luxury for most, not a necessity. 

Having just, or still trying to 

recover from the impact of 

Covid, many are under financial 

pressure. Inflation is at an all 

time high, well over seven per 

cent, and guaranteed that not 

many received a pay increase in 

line with inflation. 

-Michael Romkes 

Lincoln 

With only 29,000 rateable 

properties and the fact Selwyn 

ratepayers will have a rates 

increase, I say no to helping 

fund the remainder of stadium 

costs. Corporates that 

benefit should definitely 

contribute. 

-S Woodham 

Te Taumutu 

relationship 

There was an article in the 

Selwyn Times regarding the 

signing of a formal relationship 

between the Selwyn District 

Council and Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga. 

The article has blindsided 

many people. How many 

residents of Selwyn even know 

about this relationship and what 

it is all about? 

Surely before anything is 

signed the people of Selwyn 

have the right to know what 

the agreement is all about. 

An article, published with no 

LETTERS 15 

Should Selwyn contribute to the stadium? 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 


explanation and an agreement 

with no discussion with our 

people, is very undemocratic. 

The wording “the role of mana 

whenua as a treaty partner of 

the Crown” is obviously what 

our council believe in and is 

following a Government 

policy. 

The purpose of local 

government (from the 

Selwyn website) states very 

clearly: democracy and local 

accountability. 

So the council made a 

decision, but where does the 

democracy come in or the local 

accountability?

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in

MANY PEOPLE 

hate cockroaches, 

particularly when 

they are around 

food. 

In the cooler 

south we are less 

likely to see the 

larger exotic roach 

species, but with 

our warming 

climate, species 

distributions are 

changing. 

The Gisborne 

cockroach is one 

of those that is dispersing 

south and 

this week I found 

my first specimen 

of Drymaplaneta 

semivitta in our 

section at Lincoln. 

This species has 

made its way down 

to Invercargill, but 

as it is flightless, 

it is likely to have 

hitched a ride. 

The Gisborne 

cockroach is actually 

an Australian 

species that was 

first recorded in 

Gisborne in the 

1960s. This large 

cockroach (20- 

45mm long and 

12-15mm wide) has 

a shiny dark brown 

body with a tan to 

translucent strip 

on the edges of its 

head and thorax. 

All six of its legs are 

covered in spines 

and its hind legs are 

much larger. 

Fortunately, 

it is not often 

found inside or 

around our food, 

so is less likely to 

transmit disease 

as the German 

or American 

cockroaches can. 

The Gisborne 

cockroach prefers 

being outside in 

bark or woodchips 

and usually likes to 

squeeze into narrow 

gaps only a few 

millimetres wide 

to hide.

Chamberlain’s ton steers the way again 

HARRY Chamberlain’s second 

consecutive match-winning 

century on Saturday has 

given him and his Leeston- 

Southbridge team a dream 

start to the new country cricket 

season. 

In a Canterbury Country premier 

one day competition clash 

of the titans at Darfield Domain, 

Chamberlain’s innings of 101 not 

out, off just 83 balls, steered his 

team to a tense two-wicket win 

over rivals Darfield. 

There were also victories for 

Weedons, Cheviot, and Sefton 

in round two in what is shaping 

up to be a quality, hard-fought 

season. 

Leeston-Southbridge won the 

toss and elected to bowl first – a 

decision they were soon ruing 

when Canterbury representatives 

Zak Foulkes (89 off 108) and 

Henry Shipley (37 off 40) were 

cruising against the balanced, 

disciplined bowling unit. 

Darfield finished their 45 overs 

on 211/7, confident that they 

could defend the total on their 

home patch. 

And they soon had Leeston- 

Southbridge reeling at 89/6, 

before Chamberlain, hot off 

an unbeaten century the week 

before, teamed up with Dougald 

Munro (30 off 37) for an ultimately 

match-winning 99-run 

seventh-wicket partnership. 

IN FORM: Harry Chamberlain in a Leeston-Southbridge 

win against Darfield earlier this year. 

PHOTO: KAREN CASEY 

There were still some tense 

moments before the winning 

runs were knocked off in the 

40th over, however, with just two 

wickets to spare. 

Sefton secured their second 

big win in as many matches with 

a 93-run win over Peninsula- 

Harbour in spite of their top 

order failing to fire. 

Batting first, at 49/4, it was 

seasoned campaigner Matt 

Laffey who came to the rescue, 

caressing 85 runs off 113 balls to 

help lift Sefton to 217. Akhil Pant 

and David Neal claimed three 

wickets apiece. 

Micah Campbell was 

destroyer-in-chief for Sefton, 

taking the new ball and knocking 

off the combined side’s top 

order. Campbell finished with 

match-best figures of 4/15, as the 

competition newcomers struggled 

with the bat for the second 

week in a row, falling to be all 

out in the 30th over for 124. 

At Southbrook Park, on a 

deceptively dicy-looking pitch, 

Cheviot elected to bowl first 

against the combined home side 

representing Oxford-Rangiora- 

Southbrook. 

It was only the typicallydogged 

innings of opener Calvin 

Scott who showed any resistance 

against the Magpies attack, with 

Scott carrying his bat for an 

unbeaten 42 off 99 balls. 

No other batsman was able to 

hang around with him and they 

were rolled for just 103 in 38.3 

overs, with the three Fitzpatrick 

brothers, Tom, Johnny and 

Harry, sharing seven wickets 

between them. 

Cheviot opener Ryan Ellis 

quickly showed how few 

demons there were in the newlyrefurbished 

’Brook pitch by 

smashing an unbeaten 61 off just 

33 balls to complete the ninewicket 

thrashing in just 13 overs. 

Ohoka suffered another 

heavy loss, this time a sevenwicket 

defeat to Weedons who 

rolled them for 111 before 

Blake Coburn almost singlehandedly 

knocked off the runs 

by smashing 72 off just 52 balls, 

including four sixes.

WINNER: Corban Farnley preparing to launch his jetski into the water and competing at Lake Havasu in Arizona at the world championships, where he 

won the Pro Am Ski Lite class. 

Teen jetski champ follows in dad’s footsteps 


RACING ON a jetski is 

something Corban Farnley, of 

West Melton, has been doing 

since the age of 10. 

It is also something the 

17-year-old is very good at, 

proving that last week as he 

arrived home from America with 

a trophy for winning the Pro Am 

Ski Lite class at the International 

Jet Sports Boating Association 

annual world finals. 

Competitors from 34 nations 

competed for a number of 

world titles at the 42nd annual 

championships, held at Lake 

Havasu, Arizona. 

Farnley said there was no 

secret to his success, it was just a 

case of practice makes perfect. 

“Practice is the best way to 

get better, just keep riding, keep 

riding,” he said. 

He is following in the footsteps 

of dad Chris, a former national 

champion who owns jetski 

shops in Christchurch and 

Auckland. The pair are regulars 

on Christchurch’s Lake Roto 

Kohatu, where they get out and 

ride together. 

Farnley is also a national 

champ, and is not new to world 

titles either, having won three at 

Lake Havasu three years ago, in 

amateur and kids’ classes. 

He said his goal was to move 

up to open classes at the world 

champs next year, where the 

speeds of jetskis reach about 

125kmh, compared to about 

80kmh in the lite class. 

He said he had been grateful 

to compete at the world 

championships this year, after 

not initially expecting to make 

it there. 

He has recently started 

a building apprenticeship 

at Rolleston’s Clark Bros 

Construction, which paid for his 

flights, but his passport expired 

during the pandemic. 

Mum Melissa Farnley recalled 

the whirlwind of getting ready 

to go once the decision was 

made. 

“He phoned me and said ‘Mum 

do you think you could get me 

a passport, because my boss (at 

Clark Bros) has sponsored me 

to the worlds’. That’s how quick 

it was, there was no full-on 

training like there usually is,” 

Melissa said. 

She applied for an urgent 

passport, which arrived just in 

time for him to make a New 

Zealand team members’ 

flight. 

“We got it on the Friday, and 

the Sunday morning he was on 

the plane. It was full bore.”

Lincoln Envirotown’s 

Annual Clothes Swap 

This popular event will take place 

on the evening of Thursday 17th 

November at the Lincoln Event 

Centre. 

This event was hugely successful 

last year and large numbers of people 

and clothes are expected this year. 

People are encouraged to bring their 

clothing items (those that we all have, 

unused in our cupboards) and drop 

them off at designated drop off points 

in Lincoln and Rolleston. The times 

and locations of these can be found 

on Humanitix (Lincoln Clothes Swap) 

or Lincoln Envirotown’s Facebook or 

website. Those who do these early drop 

offs will be given an “Early Bird” ticket 

which entitles them and one other, to 

early entry on the evening. 

Textiles are a major contributing 

element to landfill and the longer that we 

are able to keep them in circulation the 

better. It is a means of helping reduce the 

negative impacts of the fashion industry 

on our environment. 

There is no payment for entry or for 

clothes. The event provides a chance to 

enjoy changing one’s wardrobe, as well as 

keeping resources circulating. 

Lincoln Envirotown looks forward to 

welcoming everyone and hopes that the 

normal busy evening will be enjoyed by 

all.

2022 triennial 

election results 

Three new Councillors have been elected to join returning Mayor Sam Broughton 

and seven returning Councillors. 

The new Council has been confirmed following the release of the final results for 

the 2022 Selwyn District Council elections. 

Mr Broughton says he’s excited about the opportunity to continue leading on 

behalf of the district, and welcomed the three new councillors. 

“It’s so encouraging to be supported by our community. The result is an 

endorsement of our Council's vision for Selwyn and the hard work we have put 

in to get us to where we are today. There is still much to be done and I’m looking 

forward to the opportunities and challenges the next three years will bring. 

“It’s also really exciting for the new Councillors joining the team. Well done 

Lydia Gliddon, Elizabeth Mundt and Phil Dean. We also owe a big thank you to 

Councillors Jenny Gallagher, Mark Alexander, Murray Lemon and Geoff Bland for 

all their work on the Council over the last three years.”

cons of moving into a retirement village will be covered on this year’s SWELL on air programme on 

Plains FM 96.9. 

The radio show is part of the SWELL series running from 9–23 October. "The radio programme was 

developed last year, as the expo was unable to run, and was such a success we had to do it again," 

Community and Economic Development Advisor Kirstin Dingwall-Okoye says. 

This year’s programme has been developed by Robyn Johnston of Transition Navigators with Plains 

FM, and includes interviews with a wide range of people supporting older people to live well 

in Selwyn. 

Episodes will run at 11am on Plains FM, this Wednesday to Saturday 22 October. The programmes 

will be available through Spotify and Apple podcasts, once they have aired. The series has been 

curated from presentations held during last week’s SWELL expo speaker series. 

Dingwall-Okoye says "SWELL is all about celebrating wellbeing and inclusion for older 

people, particularly those living or thinking about living in Selwyn district. There are now large 

communities of older people in Selwyn and we’re keen to make people aware of organisations, 

groups and information that will support them to live well here.”

Labour Day Hours 

Council facilities will be closed on Monday 24 October. This includes Rolleston offices, 

Selwyn Libraries and Service Centres, Council-managed community centres and the 

Selwyn Sports Centre. 

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre is open 8am–8pm. 

Pines Resource Recovery Park will be open normal business hours 9am–4.30pm. 

Rubbish and recycling collections will take place as normal. 

Notices 

Water race and land drainage maintenance 

Land drainage 

All property owners who have a watercourse 

running through or adjacent to their property 

are reminded they are responsible for the 

maintenance of these watercourses, including 

ensuring there are no obstructions which could 

affect the flow of water. Planting or allowing 

trees/vegetation within the watercourse is also 

prohibited. If you wish to plant the banks of the 

watercourse please consult with the Council. 

We will provide further information on this 

procedure. Please also ensure if you are weed 

spraying that this only occurs in the dry base of a 

watercourse, or the top of the bank. Spraying on 

the sides of the banks can cause instability and 

lead to the banks slumping. 

Meetings 

Public Forums: Council, Community Board and local committee meetings are open to the public. Time is 

available at the start of meetings for people to speak on matters of concern. Please notify Therese Davel or 

Bernadette Ryan if you wish to speak at the Council meeting at least five days before the meeting.

Iconic fun run back from city to surf 

IT’S BACK TO the future for 

Christchurch’s most notable fun 

run. 

The Les Mills City2Surf in 

March will start in the central 

city and wind its way to New 

Brighton, finishing at Rawhiti 

Domain. 

It will be 50 years since the 

first Les Mills City2Surf, which 

has seen hundreds of thousands 

of Cantabrians take part over the 

decades. 

Because of the damage the 

February 22, 2011 earthquake 

caused to the original route, the 

event was switched from starting 

at Pioneer Stadium to the finish 

at Ferrymead Historic Park. 

Star Media regional manager 

Steve McCaughan said it was 

fantastic the City2Surf was 

returning to the central city out 

to the coast. 

“After all these years it’s great 

to be going from city to surf 

again,” he said. 

Starting at Latimer Square 

at 9am, the full 12km route 

includes the Otakaro Loop and 

Avonside Drive, continuing 

along New Brighton Rd and 

finishing at the City2Surf village 

at Rawhiti Domain. 

For those who want to take 

part, but find the 12km distance 

too long, the shorter, 6km 

route starts at 10am at Avon 

Park, opposite Porritt Park in 

Avonside Drive, also finishing at 

Rawhiti Domain. 

In the early years, the event 

started from Cathedral Square 

and finished at New Brighton 

beach. After four years it 

finished at QEII Park, then in 

2012, following the earthquakes, 

the finish line changed to the 

Ferrymead playing fields. 

The event will mark the 50th 

year since the inauguration of 

the City2Surf in 1974, and it will 

be the 48th running of the event. 

McCaughan says the organisers 

are hoping to see 15,000 people 

taking part, making it the 

biggest event to date. 

The naming sponsor for the 

2023 City2Surf is again the 

Christchurch Les Mills fitness 

club. 

Club manager Tevita 

Siulangapo, who describes 

himself as “a born-and-bred 

Christchurch boy” says he has 

always viewed the City2Surf 

event as an “integral part 

of mobilising the people of 

Otautahi”. 

“So, having the opportunity to 

support such an iconic gathering 

through Les Mills makes me 

incredibly proud,” he said. 

While City2Surf is billed 

as a fun run, participants can 

complete the course by walking, 

jogging or even pushing the baby 

in a pram, however they wish, 

though many do treat it as a 

serious running event. 

Groups of people can also 

enter as a team, and can book a 

team site at the finish line. On 

reaching the finish, participants 

are invited to spend time at the 

new City2Surf village, with its 

live music, warm-down exercises 

and food stalls. 

“We’re excited about the 

new village and the festive 

atmosphere it will create for 

everybody so we encourage them 

to stick around and enjoy it,” 

McCaughan says. 

There will also be a prize 

pool. Every entry bib will have a 

unique number giving everyone 

the chance of their number 

being drawn to win a prize. 

• Entries opened Saturday, 

October 15. 

Fees: Adults (12+), $35; 

children (five to 11), $20. 

Both include bus fare to 

the starting point and from 

the finishing point. Children 

under five enter free. 

Entries can be purchased 

online at the City2Surf 

website or from advertised 

outlets.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

First for Water Quality Monitoring 

For the first time, people can explore the health of New 

Zealand’s monitored lakes on an interactive map. 

Everyone can check the results of freshwater monitoring in their 

region on the LAWA project’s environmental data website, www. 

lawa.org.nz. 

LAWA Lake Science Lead Dr Jane Groom said the new LAWA 

Lake Quality topic map showed interesting spatial patterns – in 

particular the difference in lake condition between our high 

elevation lakes that are generally in good health, and lowland 

lakes that are in poor condition. 

“In our analysis we found 82% of monitored lowland lakes are 

in a poor or very poor condition, meaning they are nutrient 

enriched with an increased likelihood of algae bloom events.” 

The interactive map function has been available for four years 

on the LAWA River Quality topic and tens of thousands of people 

have used it to better understand the health of our waterways. 

Dr Groom was hopeful that having this function now available 

for lakes would help more people to connect with these precious 

waterbodies. 

“Through the interactive map, people can see the state and 

trend of a whole range of lake health indicators and click through 

to a site page to see monitoring histories for nutrients, algae, 

bacteria, and water clarity. It’s a big step forward in making 

information about New Zealand’s lakes freely available,” she said. 

LAWA River Science Lead Dr Coral Grant said the science 

team have also been exploring the state of rivers and streams at a 

national level, and how this varies over time and by surrounding 

land cover. 

“The common theme between degraded lakes and stressed 

rivers is that they are found in areas where the land is highly 

modified, whether that be urban environments or pasture. 

The latest river and lake water quality assessment from Land, 

Air, Water Aotearoa (LAWA) shows Canterbury is a “mixed 

picture”, Environment Canterbury says. 

Regional council Canterbury chair Jenny Hughey said it was 

important to reflect on the state of all Canterbury rivers, streams 

LAWA’s online interactive map covers 16 areas in New Zealand and reports on river water 

quality, lake water quality, groundwater quality, air quality, land cover and estuary health. 

and lakes, particularly our iconic braided rivers. 

Hughey also noted the recent launch of a new website for one of 

our most iconic “lakes” (actually a coastal lagoon), Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere. 

“The LAWA river water quality national picture summary from 

2012 to 2022 shows Canterbury has similar challenges to the rest 

of Aotearoa,” she said. 

“It’s a mixed picture at a high level showing little change 

over the last few years. Clearly though, the more modified the 

landscape (with urban being the most modified), the poorer the 

water quality.” 

Canterbury had been addressing this for several years, mainly 

via the Canterbury Water Management Strategy and our 

freshwater planning framework,” Hughey said.

Special sounds from VW’s Golf R 

IF YOU ARE anything like me 

you have probably hankered after 

a Volkswagen Golf GTi at some 

point in your life. 

Well, now is the time to buy, 

the eighth-generation GTi hot 

hatchback is here and it lives up 

to all expectation. 

But wait, the GTi has an inhouse 

competitor in the form of 

Golf R and from $79,990 it is just 

$14k more in cost, and supply 

lines aren’t too onerous. 

The Golf R shares much the 

same concept as the GTi, but 

it has higher power outputs – 

235kW against 180Kw, and it 

gets a few extra trick goodies 

such as four-wheel-drive and 

a torque vectoring system, the 

latter allowing the driver to 

explore adhesion limits without 

wandering off the chosen line. 

Under the bonnet sits a 1984cc 

turbocharged engine that also 

releases 400Nm of torque. What 

makes these power figures 

even more impressive are the 

areas where they are developed, 

both are realised consistently 

through the rev band, 5600 to 

6500rpm for power and 2500 

to 5600rpm for torque. Those 

figures are the secret of the Golf 

R’s performance, it doesn’t need 

to be revving hard to perform, 

the power spread is broad and 

unwavering. 

The turbocharged boost 

provides a linear flow of power, 

a solid surge is delivered right 

through the rev band. Of course, 

the engine will sing to the red 

line, but it doesn’t need to, the

pipes

bark and

Golf R. 

torque surge will usher in early 

acceleration from low revs. 

Coupled to the engine is a 

direct shift seven-speed gearbox. 

Effectively it works much like a 

traditional automatic but it can 

be felt shifting like a manual 

with noticeable changes, they are 

smooth, but there is a distinctive 

change pattern and between shifts 

the exhaust crackles and barks, 

that along with shrill wailing 

and shrieking up front is a joy to 

listen to. 

Sequential shift movements 

can be made through steering 

wheel-mounted paddles, right to 

change up, left to change down. 

The ratios help keep the engine 

excitable, it revs quickly to speed 

and has strong power delivery, 

there’s little reason to expect any 

turbo lag. 

Engine sound is constant, 

it is rorty along with some 

vibrant shrieks and wails, and 

with a heavy exhaust throb it is 

infectious to listen to, the driver 

is constantly reminded that a very 

special piece of engineering lies 

under the bonnet. 

Acceleration is swift. According 

to Volkswagen the Golf R will 

reach 100km/h from a standstill 

in 4.8sec. Throughout the midrange 

it will scorch through a 

highway overtake (80-120km/h) 

in just under 4sec. The Golf R is 

deceptively quick, but it is casual 

in its delivery and is an easy car 

to drive quickly when conditions 

allow. 

The driver has at his/her 

control a set of varying drive

mode settings that mean you 

can drive it as quickly or as 

casually as you wish. The modes 

are activated through a central 

display screen – comfort, sport, 

race, individual, drift and ‘Special 

– Nürburgring.’ 

Quite obviously I didn’t get 

to sample the latter, but I did 

alternate between comfort 

and sport frequently, and even 

in sport mode the ride is far 

from harsh, both are perfectly 

acceptable when road ripples and 

ruts sneak up. 

Power is directed to all four 

corners through Volkswagen’s 

Haldex 4-Motion system, it is 

a clever drive system that puts 

power to ground decidedly 

neutral and balanced. Steering 

accuracy is delightful, the Golf 

R can be forced into a corner 

knowing that the high levels of 

grip and extraordinary balance 

mean entry speed and exit are 

high. 

The steering is a delight and 

won’t deviate off-line when power 

is applied mid-corner. Turn-in is 

sharp through low profile 19in 

tyres, while grip levels are barely 

challenged. Of course, traction 

and stability control add into 

the equation, but the chassis 

is so good it doesn’t rely on 

electronic monitoring, the Golf 

R’s suspension and driveline are 

high class, as are the brakes, huge

• Fuel usage – 8.6/100km 

ventilated discs front and rear 

take care of slowing the Golf R 

quickly with strong under-pedal 

feel. 

True to the concept of its 

stablemates, the Golf R is also 

quite thrifty, on the run up to 

Lake Coleridge Village, my 

favourite high country road, 

the trip computer was showing 

a nine-litre per 100km average 

with instantaneous returns of 

5.2/100km at a steady 100km/h 

(engine speed 1800rpm). 

Volkswagen claims an 

8.6l/100km combined cycle 

average, although I would suspect 

you’d have to drive conservatively 

to achieve that, and that is not 

what the Golf R is all about. 

To complement its 

performance and handling 

character, the Golf R gets a 

tasteful sporty interior, black 

leather trim with blue strips and 

embossed R logos are unusual, 

however, I liked it. The layout is 

almost minimalistic, the controls 

are intuitive and user-friendly, 

it’s not overly showy but it does 

fit the character of the car, you 

certainly know you are sitting in 

something very special. 

While the Golf GTi and R 

conundrum might be raging 

in the heads of those buying 

hopefuls, there’s also another 

equation that should be 

considered, the Golf R comes 

in two variants. The test car 

was the 1st Edition model that 

has the drift and special driving 

modes that make it track day 

ready. 

The 1st Edition will also set 

you back an extra $6k, which 

is over and above the $79,990 

(and Government $5170.50 

clean car fee), but what it does 

serve to prove is that there are 

plenty of choices in Volkswagen’s 

performance car line-up, and I 

haven’t even got to adding the 

Tiguan R into that proposition. 

It is a sport utility vehicle I am 

driving next, and I simply can’t 

wait. 

As Volkswagen say in its 

advertising promotions – ‘it’s an 

R thing.’ I can relate to that, in my 

mind it certainly is something 

rewarding.

man in 1866 who helped 

discover Arthur’s Pass 

has featured in a new true 

crime podcast. 

Surveyor George 

Dobson was ambushed 

near Greymouth by three 

members of the notorious 

Burgess gang, in a crime 

which later became known 

as one of the infamous 

Maungatapu murders. 

The crime features as 

episode 15 on the Sinister 

Dynasty podcast, which 

was released on Sunday. 

The podcast was established 

this year by three 

Greymouth case manager 

work colleagues – Andi 

Butler and Ayla Odea, who 

are the hosts, and Chris Efford, 

who is the editor. 

Dobson was walking 

near Greymouth to 

meet a colleague in his 

job maintaining and 

constructing roads along 

the Grey River when he 

famous daredevil Captain 

Charles Lorraine. 

Hours after the photograph 

was taken the parachute 

came apart from the 

balloon and was blown out 

to sea. Tragically Captain 

Lorraine drowned. 

The image won the 

Christchurch City Libraries 

Photo Hunt annual 

competition, which is under 

way again this year. 

City council head of 

libraries and information 

Carolyn Robertson said 

the image was chosen as 

last year’s winner because 

George Dobson 

was held up by Richard 

Burgess, Joseph Sullivan 

and Thomas Kelly. 

They strangled him, 

mistaking him to be a local 

storekeeper and gold buyer, 

but came away empty 

handed when they found 

he had no gold on him. 

“He was a nice young 

fellow, but we couldn’t 

let him go,” the podcast 

quotes Burgess later saying 

of its connection to social 

history and the incredible 

detail in the image, 

especially as those watching 

the balloon who were 

unaware they were being 

photographed. 

“The hope is that this 

image will inspire people 

to take a look in their 

garage, or back cupboards 

to find their old photos,” 

she said. 

• The competition 

is open until October 

31 as part of the 

Christchurch Heritage 

Festival. 

in court of the murder. 

Dobson had two years 

previously worked alongside 

his brother Arthur, 

after whom Arthur’s Pass 

was later named, as a surveyor. 

Arthur was credited 

with discovering the pass 

after being tasked with 

finding a route between the 

Waimakariri River basin 

and the West Coast. 

The Maungatapu murders 

involved a further 

five men robbed and killed 

near Nelson later that same 

year. For these crimes the 

Burgess gang trio were 

joined by another gang 

member, Philip Levy. 

Burgess, Kelly and 

Levy were later hung for 

their crimes in jail in 

Nelson, while Sullivan 

was pardoned for turning 

evidence on the gang.

While Covid may have previously 

disrupted Leeston’s St John’s fairs, this 

year sees the return of a small-scale event 

on Saturday, 22nd October 2022, at High 

Street, Leeston. From 9 am until 1 pm, 

there will be a White Elephant stall in the 

church hall, and Mike’s Tomatoes plants 

and a variety of other plants will be set up 

on the church grounds. With decluttering 

a current trend, it is the perfect time to 

get rid of those items that you no longer 

want. The stall is looking for community 

donations of good quality household 

items (excluding electrical goods), small 

(only) furniture, clothing, toys, books, 

garage and shed tools and other wares. 

Betty Walls has advised she will be at the 

church to accept any items to be dropped 

off on Thursday, the 20th, 2 pm–4 pm 

and Friday, the 21st, 10 am–4 pm. So for 

those looking for a bargain, an unusual 

item, a conversation piece or the chance 

to buy plants ready for the garden, the 

fair is the place to be. With the fair’s 

return to Leeston, Betty Walls says, “We 

Lakeland Art Gallery, the heart of Leeston’s 

art community, offering great NZ artworks, 

sculpture, ceramics etc. Plus Tutored art classes, 

Life drawing and Wednesday’s art group. 

usually have a crowd standing at the doors 

waiting for us to open.” You can contact 

Betty on 03 324 3408 if you have any 

enquiries about the White Elephant stall.

Keeping cool this summer 

With this summer’s temperatures 

predicted to be hotter than normal, it is 

a good time to think about how to keep 

your home cool and comfortable on a hot 

day. 

Air conditioners are common in many 

homes and can be used throughout the 

year but are not always energy efficient. 

One tip is to use the dehumidifier or 

fan functions rather than the cooling 

function. There are several other things 

you can do to use less energy including 

setting the temperature at around 24’C, 

cooling just one room at a time – with 

the door shut - and avoiding using the air 

conditioner’s automatic option as it could 

turn on the heat instead of the cold. 

There are a huge range of fans available 

in the marketplace – small ones for your 

desk or larger stand-alone ones. While 

fans circulate rather than produce cold 

air, they can have an cooling effect. 

Ceiling fans should be counter-clockwise 

during summer to blow the air directly 

downwards on a high speed. 

Most of the heat entering your home 

will come through the windows so this is a 

good place to look at in terms of reducing 

the temperatures inside. Like a heat pump, 

double glazing can work all year around, 

keeping the heat in your home during 

winter and out during summer. 

Opening windows may sound like 

a simple option but if opened on the 

opposite sides of your home they can 

create a breeze to cool things down. By 

adding security latchets these windows 

can be left open while you’re out. 

Drawing thermal lined curtains and 

shutting blinds can also prevent the heat 

from coming in through your windows, 

particularly in those parts of the house 

who receive direct sunlight. Light 

coloured window coverings rather than 

darker are better at reflecting heat and 

light away from your home. 

External window awnings, a shade 

sail or blinds can also help reduce the 

impact of the hotter temperatures during 

summer. 

Creating shade in your outdoor area 

can also help reduce the heat in your 

home, particularly deciduous trees which 

will also allow light through in the winter 

when they lose their leaves. 

By thinking ahead, the hot summer 

will be cooler when you’re at home so 

you can relax and unwind in comfort.

GARDENING 


Raised garden beds are easy to build 

A raised garden bed 

is the perfect way to 

tidy a garden, writes 

Stephen Jaquiery 

With the threat of frosts 

hopefully behind us for another 

year, Labour Day weekend is 

traditionally when vegetable 

gardens are planted out. 

A tidy idea for your garden is 

to build a raised bed, which can 

be done quite cheaply by most 

people with a minimum of tools 

and building skills. 

The material used to contain 

your raised garden can be as 

varied as ponga logs, demolition 

timber, corrugated iron or the 

more traditional rough-sawn 

timber from your local hardware 

supplier. 

The key to a successful raised 

bed is a way of securing the 

framework together so the weight 

of the soil does not make the 

structure collapse. 

For this raised bed I used macrocarpa 

timber, 200mm deep and 

50mm thick. 

The garden is 4.2m long and 

2.5m wide. 

If you buy timber from a 

hardware shop you can usually 

save yourself a task by choosing 

one that will cut your timber to 

length. 

Step by step 

• Lay your timber sides accurately 

BOUNDARIES: How to build a raised garden bed in stages. 

on the ground and use a spade 

to mark the outside edge of the 

garden. 

• Chip off any existing grass. 

• Using a level as a guide, dig out 

the top side of the ground if your 

garden is on a sloping site until 

the first layer of your garden 

bed sides sit square and level. 

To check your timber frame is 

square measure across the diagonal 

from each corner and adjust 

until both measurements are the 

same. 

• Fix the corners. I used coach 

screws into predrilled holes in 

the timber and countersank the 

heads. A simple alternative is to 

use right-angled nail plates or to 

drive sturdy pegs on the outside 

of each corner. 

• Once the bottom timber is 

secure, drive pegs on the inside 

of the garden to nail the second 

(and third or fourth if desired ) 

layer of timber. Again, nail plates 

could be used for this. 

• Top up your garden with soil, 

plant your seedlings and it’s time 

for a cup of tea and to plan your 

summer salads. 

–ODT 

Time to get flowering annuals in the ground 

OUTDOOR fuchsias, 

Californian tree poppy and 

willows grown for bark effects 

can be pruned now. 

Young rooted pieces can be 

taken from the outside of violet 

plants and the central portion of 

old clumps discarded. 

Herbaceous perennials, such as 

Michaelmas daisies, can still be 

increased by taking side growths. 

Hardy annuals can be sown 

outdoors this month – clarkia, 

asters, nasturtiums, calendula 

and sweet peas. 

Dwarf sweet peas do not need 

staking. Little Sweetheart is one 

of the smallest, growing to 25cm. 

The soil for sweet peas should 

be well limed and the ground 

worked to a fine crumb. Phosphate 

worked into the soil (30g 

per sq m) will give the seedlings 

a good start and a sturdy root 

system. 

Lawns that have become patchy 

because of grass-grub damage 

or the removal of weeds on a 

large scale can be brought back 

to order now with a dressing of 

one part superphosphate and 

three parts sulphate of ammonia 

mixed and spread at a rate of 30g 

per sq m. Apply this mix now 

and in early autumn, as growth 

restarts after summer. Mossy soil 

can be dressed with the same 

mixture, with the addition of a 

half-part of sulphate of iron to 

suppress moss. 

Dwarf annuals for the front 

of garden beds include phacelia 

(blue shades), nemophila (blue), 

Linum grandiflorum and 

limnanthes (yellow).

Safety in the garden 

Keeping yourself safe in the garden is important, especially at this 

time of the year. Legionnaire’s Disease is one of the main risks in the 

garden, so protecting yourself is key. Below are some precautions 

you can take to reduce the risk of contracting Legionnaires: 

• Open bags with a sharp knife – away from the face - in open 

spaces, not in enclosed areas like sheds or greenhouses 

• Remember to use gloves and masks when handling the mix 

• Dampen any dry mix – taking care not to inhale dry, dusty mix 

• Store bags out of direct sunlight 

• Always wash your hands after gardening, and before eating or 

drinking 

If you develop any flu-like symptoms after working in the garden 

head to your doctor immediately. Make sure you let them know you 

have been gardening and need to get tested for Legionnaires.

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 

trees. If they’re protected (for example, 

because they are historic, considered 

to be significant or needed to prevent 

erosion), you may need to get resource 

consent before doing anything to them. 

Remember that you can’t unreasonably 

interfere with your neighbours’ use and

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.
