COOKIE the school reading
dog from Lincoln is so popular,
children have to queue up to
pat her.
The four-year-old curly-haired
crossbreed visits Ararira Springs
Primary School once a week.
“She will walk in the class,
lie down on her back, stick her
tummy in the air and just wait
to see who will come and give
her tummy tickles,” said owner
Jo Wager.
“The children just love her,
we have to try and enforce the
four children rule so she doesn’t
get totally mobbed. We just say
four children at a time stroking
her, that works quite well,
lining up for a quick stroke and
then moving on. She’s a bit of
a star.”
Wager signed up with the
St John Therapy Pets Reading
Education Assistance Dogs
programme six months ago.
The programme’s goal is
to reduce anxiety for school
children who are afraid of
reading aloud, so they become
relaxed and more involved in
learning.

A HOTEL worker who agreed
to be paid in part with pots of
Nutella and a ride-on mower
has been awarded more than
$26,000 for what amounted to
a “retaliatory and arbitrary”
dismissal.
Tracy Tahuhu was also allegedly
told she could no longer
work on Friday nights because
she was “not young enough” and
that she did not have “big enough
boobs”.
Tahuhu joined the Springfield
Hotel as a cleaner in 2020, and became
the front-of-house manager
in the hotel bar the following year.
She said that while there was
both good fellowship and mirth
at the pub, that was not always
the case for her.
The part-time cleaning job
served as a re-entry to the workforce
after some time away due
to a personal injury, the Employment
Relations Authority said in
a decision released last week.
It also noted she was no
stranger to the hotel because
her husband Ernie was a regular
patron there and that some of her
wages would be used to pay down
her husband’s bar tab.

PEOPLE LIVING on rural
blocks are starting to find
out how land rezoning can
hit them hard in the pocket
(see page 3).
The same thing happened
in Christchurch in the 80s
and 90s, when what was
once rural land on the
fringes and within the city
was rezoned residential.
The value of the land
sky-rocketed, which in turn
put the rates on that land
up, making it unaffordable
for many to keep living the
semi-rural lifestyle. They
were literally forced to sell,
usually to developers, who
then subdivided. Houses

Plans to rezone land hikes rates
• By Susan Sandys
LAND VALUES and rates in
some areas of the district flagged
for rezoning have skyrocketed,
even though the rezoning may
never go ahead.
Opposing residents say their
land should not dramatically increase
in value until the rezoning
is confirmed, but Quotable Value
says it must look at proposed
plan changes and how the market
is responding.
QV’s current three-yearly rating
valuations, which became
operative as of September 1,
2021, are in some plan change areas
more than five times higher
than they were for the previous
three years. An example is the
190ha Lincoln South land, now
valued at $36 million, having
increased from $6.6 million for
the previous three-year period.
While the Lincoln South
rezoning was adopted by the
district council in June, it is now
the subject of an appeal, so may
never go ahead.
And while the farmer residents
of the Lincoln South land have
been on board with the rezoning
application, in other areas
residents have opposed plan
changes.
Two Birchs Rd, Prebbleton,
couples, one on 4ha and another
on 0.6ha, are paying much
higher rates due to being in the
527-section Plan Change 79 area.
They both submitted against
PC79, which is yet to go to a
hearing.
The couple on the 4ha block
did not want to talk publicly as
they take the district council to
the Environment Court. They
are fighting against the huge
increase to their land value,
which initially climbed from
$580,000 to $3.14 million. The
couple managed to get it reduced
to $2.19 million after objecting
to QV. Their rates for this rating
year, beginning July 1, were
struck after the reduction. They
have gone up 53 per cent, from
$3128.80, to $4789.15.
John and Sue Sheaf on the
0.6ha block have seen their land
value climb from $275,000 to
$700,000. Their rates have gone
up 22 per cent, from $2399.95
for the 2021/2022 rating year to
$2928.95 this year.
John said it begged the question
whether the district council
would reduce their rates if the
plan change was declined, and
compensate them for higher
rates paid.
“What’s going to happen to
rates that have been put up a lot,
are they going to refund them? I
can’t see that happening,” Sheaf
said.
Another couple objecting to a
plan change is David and Fiona
Lees on Trents Rd, Prebbleton.
They live in the Plan Change

68 area and unsuccessfully
submitted against it. PC68 was
adopted by the district council
and finalised just last month,
more than one year after the QV
valuations came into effect.
The Lees had an increase in
land value from $640,000 to
$3.03 million. This contributed
to their rates almost doubling,
from $2,574.45 to $5,016.95.
“I would have thought valuations
are done on the actual
situation rather than a proposed
situation,” David said.
QV national revaluation
manager Tim Gibson said rating
valuations reflect the market at
the time of the effective revaluation
date, which in this case had
been September 1, 2021.
“Part of the audit requirement
by the Office of the Valuer General
– the independent statutory
body responsible
for valuation
standards in New
Zealand – is to
look at district
planning, including
what is proposed
publicly and
how the market is
reacting to those
proposed changes,”
Gibson said.
Tim
Gibson
“Owners had a right to object
to their new rating valuations, of
which we received very few.”
In an emailed response to the
Selwyn Times, district council
group manager enabling services
Kelvin Mason avoided the question
of whether higher rates
would be refunded if the land
value came down again following
an unsuccessful plan change.
“QV valuations reflect the
market value of a property if it
was to be put up for sale at the
time,” Mason said.
“QV consider a wide range
of factors in calculating the
valuation of a property. That
includes that the value of a
property does increase when
there’s a potential development
opportunity, but that is not the
only factor in establishing the
property’s value,” he said.

Worker awarded payout for ‘retaliatory
• From page 1
This barter-styled arrangement
was agreed to by Tahuhu, which
also saw her wages offset with
large pots of Nutella and a rideon
mower.
Things turned sour earlier
this year when Tahuhu raised
a personal grievance against
the hotel’s owner Blair Wallace
over his alleged conduct toward
her, including what she claimed
were multiple occasions when he
verbally abused her.
The personal grievance was
emailed to Wallace in January
this year by Tahuhu’s advocate
Maryline Suchley and included
a reference to a staff meeting a
year earlier at which Tahuhu
was said to have been left feeling
inadequate and humiliated.
The ERA said Wallace’s
partner Shelley Watson had
allegedly made the comment in
front of other staff that Tahuhu
could no longer work on Friday
nights because she was “not
young enough” and that she
did not have “big enough
boobs”.
On the same day Tahuhu
raised her grievance, Watson
sent a text asking her to return
the keys to the hotel because she
was “deemed a security risk”.
Suchley also received an email
from Watson who threatened to
lodge a fraud complaint against

Tahuhu with ACC.
Tahuhu then discovered she
could no longer access the online
payroll system and that her final
pay had already been calculated,
leaving her to surmise she had
been dismissed by the hotel
without notice.
Wallace told the NZ Herald he
believed the personal grievance
was lodged prior to the start
of scheduled coaching and
counselling in relation to what
he described as Tahuhu’s
rapidly deteriorating job
performance.
“We were concerned over her
emotional and mental state.
Myself, my partner, mother
and several members of the
team received an overwhelming
amount of information about the
challenges she was facing in her
personal life, which had begun to
seriously affect our business.”
Wallace says they had enjoyed
a good relationship with Tahuhu,
and at no point did she raise
concerns about mistreatment
with anyone in the business.
However, the ERA noted the
employer’s lack of engagement
in the proceedings, in spite of
efforts to ensure a fair process.
ERA member Peter Fuiava
said in his decision that copies
of documents which had been
emailed to the employer were
then delivered to the hotel’s
registered office address.
In addition, a reminder of the
date of the investigation meeting
was emailed to the employer, and
the start was delayed to allow
time for him to show up.
Wallace said they initially
engaged with the process, but
due to business challenges,
and extremely limited staffing
resources because of ill health,
they were not able to attend the
hearing on the day.
He said they were not given
any opportunity to address or
respond to any of the allegations
prior to Tahuhu going to MBIE
and using services to lodge an
extensive personal grievance.
The ERA said based on the
information and evidence
provided by Tahuhu and her
witnesses, it was satisfied that she
was unjustifiably disadvantaged
as a result of what it described as
verbal abuse and intimidating
behaviour by Wallace.

and arbitrary’ dismissal
The ERA said it was clear
Tahuhu had underlying
trauma which predated her
employment at the hotel, but it
was satisfied that Wallace knew
she had increased vulnerability
to personal criticism and that
she was not coping with his
outbursts.
Aggravating the effects was the
implied threat to report her to
ACC for fraud, which the ERA
said was a baseless claim, but one
designed to have an impact on
Tahuhu’s mental health.
Fuiava said the harm
suffered was in the moderate
to high range of the spectrum
and awarded $18,000 in
compensation for humiliation,
loss of dignity and injury
to feelings for unjustified
disadvantage and unjustified
dismissal.
He was unable to progress
matters around whether Tahuhu
had been disadvantaged as a
result of sexual discrimination,
because it related to an event that
took place in January 2021, and
was therefore outside the 90-day
period for raising a grievance.
Fuiava said the timing of
the dismissal struck him as
both retaliatory and arbitrary
but more importantly, it was
unjustified and done without
proper regard to a fair process.
He found that Tahuhu was

unjustifiably dismissed and was
therefore entitled to remedies.
She was also awarded $2734
in wage arrears and holiday pay
plus interest on that amount from
January this year; lost wages of
$1800 and costs of $3500.
Tahuhu told NZME the authority’s
decision is a validation of the
“terrible experience” she endured
at her workplace, and that the
experience has impacted both
herself and her family, to whom
she is grateful for their support,
and likewise with her friends.
“No employer should be able
to treat their employees so badly;
this is why ERA exists to help
people who have nowhere else to
go.
“I’m thankful for the
representation I received
to enable me to take on Mr
Wallace,” Tahuhu said.
Wallace says the process has
essentially been a “character
assassination” based on hearsay,
and he’s now getting legal advice
regarding his options to appeal
against the decision.
Landlord pays for
bollards after raids
• By Darryl Baser
SECURITY bollards have been
installed in front of the shops on
Robert St in Lincoln, scene of a
ram-raid in August.
The 17 bollards were paid
for by the landlord of the five
businesses, Shaun Stockman,
costing about $12,000. He said
the bollards had to be put in to
ensure insurance cover.
A stolen car was driven
through the front doors of the
Lincoln Dairy in August, the offenders
taking vaping products
and cash left in a float. They
were captured on CCTV and
found by police that morning.
Stockman said he was disappointed
the Government’s new
crime fighting fund did not
cover the cost of the bollards
on Robert St, particularly when
the Lincoln Dairy had been hit
three times in the last five years.
Like many business owners
around the country, dairy
owner Shehan Saparamadu is
“fed up” with ram-raids and the
death of Auckland dairy worker
Janak Patel, who was stabbed
while chasing a thief who stole
the shop’s till.
Saparamadu described penalties
for minors who commit violent
robberies as “sh*t, sh*t, sh*t”.
“Fog cannons and bollards
are great, but the law needs to
change,” he said.
Saparamadu has changed
the alarm setting in his dairy
to four seconds, from the usual
10 to 20 seconds, to reduce the
time offenders are in his store.
“We were ram-raided in 2018,
2019, and this year. The first
time the alarm went off after the
standard 10-second delay, and
they were inside for 1 minute 30
[seconds], but [in August] with
only a four-second delay they
were in the shop for less than a
minute,” he said.

Gingerbread house
ready to take centre stage after hiatus
• By Susan Sandys
THERE’S NO flashing lights,
tinsel or santa bears at Diana
Renwick’s Lincoln home.
But once inside, the house
screams Christmas nonetheless,
as a classy range of ornaments,
handcrafted decorations and two
friendly cats take centre stage.
Renwick will be opening her
home, known as Gingerbread
Christmas House, to the public
earlier than ever before, on
Friday.
While she usually waits until
the week before Christmas,
this year she is responding to
demand after people missed out
last year following her diagnosis
of the blood cancer multiple
myeloma.
“The diagnosis was rough, and
it’s been a really hard 18 months.
One year ago, I thought those
boxes in the garage might never
be opened again,” Renwick said,
as she recalled not being able
to run Gingerbread Christmas
House last year.
Renwick has since had six
months of chemotherapy and a
successful stem cell transplant,
meaning she is now in relatively
good health. She could not wait

ornaments and 12 full-size trees, each with at least 2000 twinkling lights.
to get into those boxes of trees
and ornaments, and did this as
early as September.
“The sense of elation that I can
open them, and share this with
the community . . . ” she said.
Renwick began opening her
home at Christmas in 2007 when
she lived in Timaru. The Gingerbread
Christmas House, named
after her first artificial Christmas
tree which was ginger-themed,
then moved to Wellington for a
couple of years as Renwick lived
there, before arriving in Lincoln
four years ago.
Renwick is an interior designer,
and artist behind the booming
HeartFelties business, where
she makes replica miniature felt
pets for clients around the world.
Getting her home ready for
Christmas is another creative
outlet for the mum-of-five.
Twelve full-size Christmas
trees, each with at least 2000
twinkling lights and decorations,
such as ribbons, picks, foliage,
baubles, flowers and organza,
will await the several hundred
people expected to turn up each
evening.
Ornaments abound, including
a nutcracker collection from
4 MARCH 2023 LINCOLN
Germany and hard-carved collection
by American artist Jim
Shore.
Half of funds raised from door
takings go to charity. Over the
years, Renwick has contributed
about $20,000 to charity. This
year the recipient will be Leukemia

OUR PEOPLE – SAM BROUGHTON
Serving the community up front and
Mayor Sam Broughton
is a former head boy
and university drop-out,
who loves motorcycling,
and treasures the
pounamu he wears
daily. The 41-year-old
spoke to Susan Sandys
Tell me a bit about your
background?
I was born in Christchurch,
the first of three boys. We lived
in Christchurch until I was
six, then moved back out to
the farm at Darfield where my
grandparents, Alan and Dawn
Broughton, were. I started
at Middleton Grange School
when we lived in Christchurch,
and then I went to Homebush
Primary School. When I was
standard 4, me and my brothers
ended up being home-schooled
for a while. Mum and dad asked
us if we wanted to, it was a bit
of a change. So I did a year
home-schooling, and at the
end of that started at Darfield
High.
Why did you go back into
mainstream schooling after
being home-schooled?
There are a lot of schools
from all the small townships
that all feed into Darfield, and I
kind of felt like that was going
to be the chance where everyone

daughter Elliott in the run-up to October’s local body
election.
is making new friends. And if I
don’t join back into the school
system at that point, it’s harder
to break in as a new kid later
on. I did year 7 and 8 there,
and ended up going back to
Middleton Grange for year 9
through 13.
MOTIVATED: Broughton during a Movember 2021 charity
bike ride across Selwyn.
I understand you were head
boy in year 13, can you tell me
about that?
I remember talking to another
student in year 12 when we
were walking around in town,
they mentioned it about being
head boy. I hadn’t really given it
much thought. I mean, I loved
school, I loved sports, was really
involved in production and choir
and things. I was like: ‘That
sounds like quite a good thing
to do,’ so sort of pursued that.
I was fortunate that the school
wanted me to do that role, and
the teachers and my classmates
picked me. I have really fond
memories of my school years,
enjoyed learning.
What did you do after leaving
school?
I went to England and did
a gap year. I was basically
a volunteer in a boarding
school for eight to 12-year-old
boys. It was an opportunity
to experience something
remarkably different than New
Zealand. There was myself and
three girls from New Zealand,
a guy and three girls from
Australia, and a guy and a girl
from South Africa all at the
same school, so that was quite
fun getting to know people
from overseas and some other
countries. It was a really rich
school, the class system was very
evident.

keeping watch behind the scenes
Can you elaborate on that?
Eight, nine and 10-year-olds at
first didn’t really have any time
to respect us, but within a couple
of weeks after school holidays,
it was fine. The parents were
very warm and welcoming, they
got us to go and babysit their
kids during Easter breaks and
long weekends. I think the most
expensive birthday I have ever
been at was that year, the parents
had spent 11,000 pounds on their
12-year-old’s birthday, it was ice
sculptures and silver platters. We
got paid to look after the kids and
ride bunking broncos and play
laser tag.
What did you do after your
gap year when you came back to
New Zealand?
I had no idea what I was
going to do. I ended up going to
Canterbury University. I thought
I will study economics at uni. But
it was kind of like it was the thing
I should do, rather than what I
particularly wanted to do. And I
have always seen opportunities
and thought it’s better to step
into opportunities as they arrive
and give them a try. If they work
out great, if they don’t work out
you know not to give it (a try)
again. I hadn’t given university a
go, so tried that. I did not really
perform my best, was very easily
distracted from heading off to
class whenever anyone was keen

to play, you know, some pool
down at the Riccarton Club. I
ended up after the first year not
going back.
So you are a university
dropout?
Yes. I did one year more
than once, I did that and then
a couple of years later I started
doing property management at
Lincoln University. That lasted
one paper and I got sent the
Resource Management Act and
thought: ‘No, this isn’t going to
be for me,’ so didn’t do any more
than that. I did study a third time
and did theology, by distance,
through Carey Baptist College in
Auckland.
What did you work in
after finishing your one year
Canterbury University?
My school Middleton Grange
asked me to come back and be a
sports co-ordinator. That started
as a 20-hour week job and grew
over five years. Then my church
back in Darfield asked me to
come and be a youth worker.
That was the parish you grew
up in?
Yes, Darfield Baptist Church.
Youth group had been a big
part of my life growing up. I
made lots of good friends, had
awesome experiences on camps,
swimming at the river and things
there. So when the opportunity
was to go back there, I thought
I have received a lot from this
environment, I was keen to
contribute back into it.
You were a youth worker when
you became a district councillor
in 2010?
Yes, there was a bit of a mix of
roles there. It overlapped being
the youth worker for that parish
and becoming a councillor. They
are quite complementary roles,
there is a whole lot just focussed
on families and community.
You grew up on the family
farm but you didn’t become a
farmer, why is that?
Umm, just didn’t really grow
on me. I like the space, I like
that you can make loud noises.
There’s things that happen on
a farm that are cool, I like the
provision of food for people.
I particularly didn’t enjoy the
woolshed, and maybe I had one
or two experiences that actually
weren’t that bad, but whatever
was going on for me at the time
meant that they were. My two
brothers, they are both on the
farm and running the farm. We
have a daughter Elliott. She is
five, she has got cousins on the
farm I still feel very connected to
it all.
What’s it like to be the mayor?
It’s a real privilege because
it’s a role where you get to serve
a whole lot of different people
and try and weigh competing
interests all the time. There’s
a whole lot I got to see behind
the scenes when I was a youth
worker, and now being the
mayor, not only do I get to see
youth work behind the scenes, I
also get to see industry, not-forprofits,
sports clubs, Lions and
Rotary behind the scenes. Our
community is run on volunteers
and on people that love this place,
wanting to give up their time to
make it better. So it’s a pretty cool
part of being the mayor.

• From page 11
Is it stressful in any way?
Yes, well, I want to do a good
job. So you are always thinking
about what does our community
want and what is the community
telling us, as well as balancing
that with what would our
grandchildren want us to do, and
what would those who don’t have
voices in conversations at the
moment want.
You are in your third term
now as mayor, what is your life
goal at this point?
No more than four terms,
that will be it. I think Selwyn
will need someone new at that
point, and we are a fast growing,
changing district. The Selwyn
that I have been a part of is
changing rapidly and I would like
someone else to think about what
their term looks like in this role.
There will be other things for me
to do at that time too, I have no
idea what they are.
Are you going to retire?
No, I will probably have to go
stack boxes somewhere for three
months, just clearing my mind
from all the things that are going
on. I have got nothing lined up, I
feel like I have learned a lot, what
governance and good governance
means, and contributing to
business, so would like to be
involved in helping others that
need that governance experience
if I can. I like hosting people as
well in Selwyn, and thinking
about whatever accommodation
or hospitality and cafe type
things look like for people here,
maybe there is an opportunity
there, I don’t know.
You mentioned all the things
going on, what is the most
fascinating thing going on in
this district?
The best part is change is
happening to us. Change is
very easy to resist, because we
like what we know, and we are
comfortable usually with the
things that we like. So to be
confronted with change, that
can be quite destabilising, but
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
here it is around us all the time.
Selwyn is a completely different
space in 2022 than it was in 2019.
I think that’s exciting, it provides
opportunity for us.
You flipped a house once?
In my early 30s, Liz and I
had a house on half an acre at
Coalgate and subdivided it (in
half). After the earthquake, there
were a lot of homes it seemed a
shame they were just going to
get demolished, so we worked to
relocate something. You realise,
like any project, you think you
know what you are getting into,
but when you have no experience
in it, things are always far more
complicated than they seem
from the outside. We basically
relined, rewired, replumbed the
whole place. We thought maybe
we will end up living in it, but as
it transpired we didn’t need to
move into it, we ended up selling
it, about the same time we sold
the house we were in and bought
a section in Darfield, which is
where we live now.
What are your hobbies?
I ride a motorbike, I have
a BMW R1150R, 2005. Liz
used to come with me on the
motorbike, we actually had our
honeymoon on a motorbike. We
have not both got on the same
motorbike since Elliott was born.
I go with a few friends who love
motorbiking. I’m not sure it’s
the motorbiking, or the stops
for coffee and dinner that is the

best part. Just getting away from
things, fresh air is always good. I
love cricket. The Black Caps have
led me through many journeys
of some pretty deep lows in life,
losing the ’92 World Cup, losing
in the 2019 cup final to England,
rest in peace, and also some great
highs. I play the guitar as well.
What sort of music do you
like?
I quite like 90s pop, pop music,
pretty light stuff, musicals can be
pretty good too. Rock, anything,
I started listening to some
classical stuff recently, cause it’s
different. I play mostly pop songs
from my teenage years, things
that are familiar to me. I’ve been
playing some Crowded House
last week, Better Be Home Soon,
that sort of stuff.
Can you tell me about the
pounamu you wear around your
neck?
Yes, this is a piece of pounamu
that I was given in 2016 from
24-7 YouthWork when I finished
up after 10 years of working with
them. It’s a Marsden stone off the
West Coast. It’s really precious
to me, the memories I suppose of
what it holds. But also thinking
about our journey as New
Zealanders, and what it means to
honour the treaty and work with
mana whenua to create a better
New Zealand. To me now, this
means all that as well. I wear it
every day.

Wetland project reaches design phase
A FIVE-YEAR project aimed
at restoring food resources and
ecosystem values to a stream at
Taumutu is moving from ‘pens
and paper’ to ‘doing’.
The Whakaora Te Waikēkēwai
project includes the construction
of a new wetland on whānau land
adjacent to Ngāti Moki Marae.
The project team, whānau, and
two of the major consultants –
Morphum Environmental – for
wetland design and hydrology -
and Mahaanui Kurataio – for
Mātauranga Māori monitoring –
recently came together for a hui
to discuss initial ideas for the
wetland’s design.
As well as enhancing and increasing
the habitat, the project
will improve water quality and
increase indigenous biodiversity,
helping fulfil cultural and ecological
aspirations for the area
and future proofing it for generations
to come.
The project is unique in that
it’s being led by mana whenua,
Te Taumutu Rūnanga, which is
building on a long-held vision to
restore its cultural connection to
the land.
Te Waikēkēwai/Waikēkēwai
Stream signifies an important
genealogical connection for the
rūnanga, as it flows through the
pa of Moki II (Te Pa o Moki) the
son, to Orariki – the pa of Te

but over generations, the land
use changed and food resources
were all but lost.
After several years of smallerscale
restoration works along
the lower reaches of the stream
between the marae and Te
Waihora, the rūnanga felt it was
in a good position to shift the
focus upstream – reaching out
to 12 private landowners whose
properties will also benefit.
The project is co-partnered by
Environment Canterbury, which
it co-funds with the Ministry for
the Environment’s freshwater
improvement fund.
Said Whakaora Te
Waikēkēwai project manager
Sophie McGregor: “We’ve got
a model that really is working
towards that true partnership –
where mana whenua are leading
decision-making and doing
something that benefits not
only them, but also that wider
landscape in terms of water
quality before entering into Te
Waihora.”
McGregor said there are a
number of layers that make the
project “special”.
“As well as the wider benefits,
it’s providing more options
and opportunities for Te
Taumutu Rūnanga and whānau,
particularly in the mahinga
kai space.”

Readers continue to respond to the issue of
chlorine in the water. •Lobby group speaks out, page 30
Reader Sheryl Allison reacts
last week’s Selwyn Times article
about poor road signage in the
district:
We are beyond disappointment
at being forced to accept the
implementation of chlorine in
our pristine water supply in
Preston Downs, West Melton.
It does not need chemicals added
to improve its quality.
Christchurch city and its
surrounding environs has always
prided itself on its heritage of a
pure artesian water supply.
We realise the infrastructure of
the water system in Christchurch
due to the earthquakes was
damaged but this situation does
not exist here in West Melton
and we are adamantly opposed
to this chemical invasion.
At the very least a referendum
to gauge the opinion of West
Melton residents should have
been held.
Removal of this chemical is
requested immediately please.
Our water now has the most
dreadful smell and taste to
match. – A I and J A Stoneman
I was thrilled to hear
Councillors Grant Miller and
Sophie McInnes were to table a
motion to the district council
last week to cease the temporary
chlorination of our water
supplies. There are so many
people suffering health issues
which are directly related to the
added chlorine.
It has come to my attention
that although it was discussed it
was decided to leave the matter
“on the table”.
I would call on all those in our
communities who are in support
of Miller’s motion, and can make
time available, to be at the next
council meeting. In this way we
can show the council very clearly
that this is a very serious matter
to a large segment of our people.
If you would like to speak of
your particular experience there
is information on the council
website regarding the public
forum.
Let’s do all we can to have this
toxin removed from what was
our already safe water.
The meeting is on Wednesday
(December 14), 1 pm, council
chambers, 2 Norman Kirk Rd,
Rolleston. – Jo Frazer
We live in Lincoln and are
opposed to the chlorination of
our water.
Since it has been in Lincoln
water we can smell it when the
tap is turned on and are not
happy with the taste.
We have lived in Lincoln for
17 years and have never had
a boil water notice. Prior to
living in Lincoln, we lived in
Christchurch and always enjoyed
unchlorinated water.
The district council should
do what Christchurch and
Waimakariri councils are doing
and hold off until exemptions are
heard, temporary usually ends
up being permanent. – Diane
and David Williams
This blanket approach to
destroying the quality of our
water in New Zealand is just
plain wrong.
I live at the Rakaia Huts that
has its own well that we have
been very proud of over the
years. I have worked in both
Auckland and Wellington over
the years, so have experienced
nasty water while there and I’ve
been very relieved on each return
home, to be able to enjoy the
simple pleasure of lovely water
from the tap.
This stuff I have now is just
grim, it even affects my espresso
every morning – and is so very,
very unnecessary – having
to buy bottled water just goes
against everything living in New
Zealand represents.
So I have my fingers crossed
that my little village along with
many other unspoilt places
get their exceptions from this
ridiculous ruling. – Sue Mercer
I am against the chlorination in
Lincoln as all I drink is cold water
– no tea or coffee – and at the
moment it leaves an awful taste in
my mouth.
I do not want to go to the
expense of putting in a filter. –
Mary McDermott
I live in Rolleston and hate
the taste. It smells like I have
just got out of the pool first
thing in the morning when I
shower.
I wonder what effect it is
having on my skin and my
vegetables growing in the yard. –
Karen Feathery
We live in Rolleston, we have
lived in this area for 25 years and
have never had a problem with
the water until now with the
addition of chlorine.
We feel sad that along with
the expensive cost of living we
are having to buy water which
we already pay for in our rates,
ratepayers are struggling while
the mayor gets a huge pay rise, he
needs to be ashamed.
Not everyone can afford to put
house filters in and why should
any of us when we have never
had a problem with the water
in this area in the first place. –
Janene Smith
I live in Everest Way,
Springston. We drive out of
no exit street onto Ellesmere
Junction Rd.
Parked cars on Everest Way
make it very hard to see cars
travelling towards Lincoln. If
turning right there is a Springston
sign and large flax plantings
which makes it hard to see cars
coming from Lincoln.
We need some yellow lines
west from Everest Way towards
Leeston Rd. The sign and flax
removed looking east.
Last week we asked readers what is good about living in the
district, they respond:
We have lived in Lincoln for
almost seven years. We moved
from a rural part of the district.
We needed to be in easy
distance of a supermarket,
hairdresser, library, pharmacy,
post office, bus route.
We enjoy views of the alps,
Port Hills, walks by the Liffey,
the lakes along the rail trail.
We love the birds and the quiet
lifestyle. The neighbours are
friendly and passers-by chat
when we are working in the
garden.
The town aids mental health
and fosters community. It is a
perfect size.
Lincoln is an Envirotown, a
mark in its favour, especially
in these concerning times of
climate change. The fact that
it is a university town with Ag
Research, weekly market and
classy event centre, adds to its
attractions.
We wonder when the district
council will put a stop to future
subdivisions, or whether it is

being dictated to by developers.
New Zealand needs farmland
and open spaces for its
ongoing well-being. Too much
development will compromise
the quality of life which gives the
town its unique character.
Lincoln is a special town with
an enviable lifestyle, an iconic
place to live. – Craufurd and
Jennifer Murray
My wife Andrea and I moved
to Rolleston seven years ago. We
lived in Southshore for a number
of years, but the quakes dealt to
staying longer, and after a look
at different parts of Canterbury
we decided this is where we want
to live.
We love the growth that has
happened to this town, and
the fact that it is new. And also
knowing how safe this ground is.
We have both retired and
everything is here for us. We
have a caravan, so that makes
easy access going north and
south. – Jim Gilbert

Youth space set to
rock on opening
An epic afternoon of events with a skate comp, hip hop, basketball, street art, a nerf
war and so much more will celebrate the opening of the new youth space in the
Rolleston town centre.
A packed afternoon of food and fun on Saturday 11 December will mark the official
opening of the youth space at Rolleston Reserve next to the new town centre.
Youth Council Chair Rue Jeche says it will be great to see such a fantastic space
open. “The youth space is an awesome place for us to be able to come together and
engage in fun and inclusive activities that are local to Selwyn."
Throughout the event there will be skateboarding, professional demonstrations
and competitions by Nelson Creek Skateboards and Outsiders skate shop. Street
art, demonstrations and have-a-go hosted by Canvas Arts, inflatables, horizontal
bungee, sumo suits, nerf war, food and music will also light up the space.
The youth space’s half basketball court and netball zone will get a workout with
Mayor Sam Broughton opening the proceedings with a shoot out comp and Selwyn
Hawks basketball team finishing the day off with skills, drills and 3 x 3 games. The
gaga ball pit will also be a site of fun rivalries with an interschools competition.
The area, designed in collaboration with input from students at Selwyn’s four high
schools, also features a range of hang out areas, and a large ‘Eagle Claw’
basket swing.
The youth space opening will be the second of two events in Rolleston town centre,
with a market day from 9am–1pm run by Rolleston Fields with stalls, face painting,
balloon art and more showcasing the new businesses in the town centre.
For a full timetable of events for the youth space opening visit

Council and Te Taumutu Rūnanga forge new
path together
Te Taumutu Rūnanga and the Council have agreed a new era of partnership, signing a
relationship agreement at a formal ceremony at Te Pā o Moki, Taumutu.
The agreement builds on an already strong relationship between the Rūnanga and the
Council, laying down a marker for future collaboration where both parties can work to
benefit the whole district, Te Taumutu Rūnanga Chair Liz Brown says.
“This is a pou whenua that we are putting in place to mark the significance of
Taumutu and our relationship with Selwyn District Council. While we have a good
relationship, we need something
formal that doesn’t rely on individuals.
This sets that marker in the ground for
us and future generations and gives us
something to go forward
with together.”
The agreement acknowledges both
parties' commitments to grow a new
era of Local Government reflecting
the role of mana whenua as a Treaty
partner of the Crown. It acknowledges
their roles and responsibilities and
sets out structures for working
together to deliver the best possible environmental and community outcomes.
Mayor Sam Broughton says it builds on a history of working together. “The fruits of
that partnership are evident in so much of what is great about our district, the most
recent examples of this being Te Ara Ātea and Kakaha Park; two facilities embraced
by our community. It’s fantastic that we are now formally recognising our relationship
and I’m looking forward to the new opportunities our agreement brings for the
wellbeing of our communities, our environment and for our continued prosperity.
“Te Taumutu Rūnanga is already successfully involved in joint decision-making
processes with the Council through the Canterbury Water Management Strategy and
the District Plan review. The is another milestone on the relationship journey between
the Council mana whenua and tangata whenua for Waikirikiri Selwyn.”

Greendale’s 160-year-old cottage
protected for future generations
When TW Adams began planting trees at Greendale in the mid-1800s, he
wanted to provide shelter on the windswept Canterbury Plains, now a new
installation is sheltering his 160-year-old sod cottage.
The Greendale Community Trust has finished building a canopy to protect
the cottage Alfred Albert Thomas William (known as TW) Adams built at
his arboretum in 1865 – part of the trusts’ work to restore the historically
significant arboretum.
Trust Secretary Ruth Warren says she’s delighted with how the neglected
site has been transformed.
“When we began working on the arboretum in 2016, it was completely
overgrown and inaccessible. After TW died in 1919, there had been no funds
to maintain it. Now it is open for people to enjoy and learn about its history.”
Adams - an international
authority on forestry -
settled in Greendale in 1862
and started an arboretum
growing 800 tree species
and 500 fruit tree varieties.
Some are now the only ones
of their kind in Aotearoa,
and several are extinct or
endangered in their countries
of origin.
To make a home, Adams dug down into the ground and used the earth to
build his cottage.
The cottage’s protective shelter was made possible thanks to volunteers
from the Trust and community, as well as a $4,000 heritage grant from
Selwyn District Council. The grant will open again for applications in
June 2023.
“It’s been a great project, and I’d like to thank all the people who’ve donated
their time and skills to preserve our history,” Ruth says.
Biodiversity projects making
good progress
Restoring and planning the creation of new wetlands, and assessing and
protecting more significant biodiversity sites were among the Council's work
to enhance native flora and fauna this year.
The Council’s biodiversity work programme has been making good progress
in the past 12 months, and Senior Biodiversity Officer Andy Spanton says the
efforts will have long-term benefits.
“Right across Canterbury,
there’s been a proactive focus
on managing and protecting
our indigenous biodiversity,
and we’re really proud to
be partnering with iwi, our
neighbouring councils,
landowners and our community
to make a difference.”
Animal pest control and weed
management are a key focus
for the Tārerekautuku Yarrs Lagoon restoration project, near Lincoln. The
Council received almost $800,000 from the Government’s Freshwater
Improvement Fund last December to restore the significant wetland, and
restoration activities began in autumn 2022.
After purchasing land above Coes Ford in 2021, the Council has been
working closely with manawhenua, landowners and Environment Canterbury
to design a water cleaning wetland and recreation space that may connect
Coes and Chamberlains Fords. These designs are being finalised, and a
Mātauranga Māori cultural assessment will be carried out.
Ongoing biodiversity assessments have seen four more sites added to
Council’s list of Significant Natural Areas in 2022. There are now 73
Significant Natural Areas. Landowners, managers and community groups
have been helped to protect and restore some of these sites through the
Council's Significant Natural Environment Fund.
“The progress we’ve made to preserve and enhance biodiversity values this
year has been promising,” Andy says.
More information on biodiversity initiatives in Selwyn can be found on the
Council website selwyn.govt.nz/biodiversity.

SH1 Rolleston plans progressing
Waka Kotahi has provided an update on the latest stage of the State Highway 1 Rolleston upgrade.
Thank you for your feedback
Thank you to everyone who took the time to give feedback on the recommended plans for SH1
Rolleston earlier this year. In total Waka Kotahi received 756 pieces of feedback. The community
engagement summary is now available on the project website, including an overview of the
feedback received and responses to key concerns. The project website has lots of helpful
information such as a ‘frequently asked questions’ tab. The publications tab features project maps
and a transport investigations document summarising the options Waka Kotahi considered and
reasons for the recommended plan.
Next steps and coming up
Findings from the second round of public consultation have been incorporated into the concept
design - expected to be finalised in 2023.
Once the business case is approved, Waka Kotahi will begin work on more detailed designs,
gaining consents and progressing talks with affected property owners.
Working in partnership, Waka Kotahi and mana whenua – Te Taumutu Rūnanga and Te Ngāi
Tūāhuriri Rūnanga – have started to explore opportunities on how cultural narratives could be
incorporated into the project. While it’s early days, we look forward to sharing more with the
community as mahi progresses.
Visit nzta.govt.nz/rollestonflyover to subscribe to updates and for more information about the
SH1 Rolleston Transport Improvements Project. This NZ Upgrade Programme (NZUP) government
funded project will result in safer access and better connections for more people. Travel times
through and around Rolleston will be much more consistent, reliable and predictable, so it’s easier
for people to get around by car, bicycle and bus, to move goods and do business.

Take a stand against chlorination
Heather
Morton of
lobby group
Clean Water
Selwyn
writes about
chlorination
MANY PEOPLE in the Selwyn
District have expressed their
opposition to the compulsory
blanket chlorination of all
Selwyn water, as well as the
Three Waters Bill.
Feedback from the community
is strongly opposed to
chlorination.
People want a council with
some backbone that will stand
up for them.
Our principal aim is to raise
public awareness, unfortunately
it’s taken the smell and taste of
chlorine to do this, hence the
push back from the community
now.
People in our group, and
those we have talked to,
are incredulous that the
Government continues to
mandate Three Waters.
We are also pretty amazed
and disappointed at the council’s
current position with temporary
chlorination, enacted before
exemption results are back,
and then to turn around and
say it will cost $250k to remove
the chlorine, and furthermore
to use that cost as a barrier to
rectification, wow.
So, our rates will be used
to remove something we were
opposed to in the first place? Isn’t
turning off a switch sufficient?
Perhaps we need an Official
Information Act request to
itemise the exact costs of simply
stopping chlorination, as the
sum quoted does not seem
reasonable or justified.
Our public meeting in
September 2022 was well
attended with about 180 people
from all walks of life. We were
thankful for everyone that gave
us their time that night. The
result of the meeting was: “What
can we do next?”
Our answer is for anyone who
dislikes the new taste of their
water since chlorination, or is
finding skin conditions, ailments
increasing, and general health
deterioration please phone the
district council and let them
know, not just once but until
they listen to us.
Back in July our group had
quite a few members address
a district council meeting and
presented letters and a petition
with over 1000 signatures
opposing chlorination.
We also had two very
emotional speakers who
explained how past chlorination
had debilitated their way of life
and that they had moved to
Selwyn due to our lovely pure
water.
Well done to the mayors of
Christchurch, Waimakariri and
others who made a stand and
asked questions rather than
submit to the water regulators.
All New Zealanders have a right
to clean water.
We are very proud of the
stand that the Birdlings flat
community has made and thus
far has prevented chlorination.
We do have community
support but if you would like
to be part of this change please
start talking to your friends and
neighbors.
There will be a meeting on
Wednesday (December 14)
at 1pm at the Selwyn District
Council and if you would like
to be part of the public forum
and speak for five minutes on
how chlorination will affect you
phone the council and request a
spot, however if you would just
like to show your support, your
presence will be valued.
Together we can make a
difference.
Do you suffer from
dizziness, vertigo or BPPV?
These issues can be treated with vestibular
physiotherapy.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised
form of therapy, in which physiotherapists
work to improve symptoms of dizziness and the
balance problems that can occur with vestibular
dysfunction. Balance problems and dizziness can
all be treated very effectively.
Our team of experienced physiotherapists
have all completed internationally recognised
competency courses in Vestibular Rehabilitation.

Strong run gets Thornley first Group One win
• By Michael Guerin
DRIVER OLIVIA Thornley
spent much of Sunday’s $175,000
IRT New Zealand Oaks
worrying that the tactic she
thought up to win the race may
actually end up costing her it.
But the yet-untapped ability of
No Matter Wat was enough to
overcome her fierce pulling and
provide the popular Thornley
with the first Group One victory
of her driving career.
No Matter Wat went into
the Oaks a big improver after a
stunning third in the lead-up last
Friday week but while Thornley
hoped she could win she thought
a top three finish would be a
great result so set about putting
No Matter Wat’s mind on the
job.
“After she galloped away last
week I gave her a real rouse up in
the prelim to get her mind on the
job,” the Prebbleton 22-year-old
said.
“The problem was it worked
too well and she thought she had
to go like that the whole race.
“I was really happy to get her
off the gate so well and get the
front but when she kept going
and wouldn’t really come back to
me I started to worry.
“So I tried to control her and
keep her from choking down but
then later she started to get some
of her Harry Houdini steps going
and I thought she might break.
“After all of that to get her
home was such a relief but also
an amazing buzz.
“This is why we are in the
industry to try and get wins at
this level so to break through is a
wonderful feeling.
“And I have had so many
people contact me, my phone has
been blowing up after so that’s
really great to have that support.”
No Matter Wat held out the
passing lane surge of Obsession
with favourite True Fantasy third
after sitting parked in the 1:56.8
mile rate for the 2600m.
Thornley has been making
a name for herself as a driver
for the last two years but it is as
one of the head staff at All Stars
stable in Rolleston and a constant
travelling companion for
their elite horses that she is most
recognised.
HAPPY:
Olivia
Thornley
brings No
Matter Wat
back to the
winner’s
circle after
Sunday’s
New
Zealand
Oaks at
Addington.
Go back through the footage
or files of recent Group One
winners in New Zealand and
you will see plenty of Thornley’s
trademark smile helping some
of our best horses back to the
stables.
“I have been there (All Stars)
seven years at Christmas, I
started when I was 15,” she said.
“They have been very good to
me and I am learning so much
and I realise the great opportunities
I get. So to get that Group
One for everybody else at the
stables and the owners as well
feels good.”
It isn’t just driving that interests
Thornley heading forward
though as she and her mother
Jackie have a broodmare now
and are on to their third co-bred
foal so Olivia is already working
her own youngster with more to
come.
“I don’t actually work him at
the All Stars cause we are full so
I go work him afterwards.
“We have two now by Creatine
(stallion) out of the mare from
the family breed and I love the
trotters.
“So that gives me another
thing to work on and learn
from.”
No Matter Wat’s emergence
suggest she is going to be an even
better four-year-old next season
in a crop that feels like many of
the participants have plateaued
after the longest three-year-old
season ever.
Judging by what she was able
to do after over-racing Krugstyle
from the Northern Derby
last year, No Matter Wat may
have a bright future.
So too, does Thornley.

MUSCLE MOUNTAIN capped
a massive day for owner Ian

Grand Prix meeting on Sunday.
His victory in
the Group One

Trotting Free-For-

Dobson’s third

following Don’t
Stop Dreaming’s
win in the group

With arch-rival Sundees

NEXT LEVEL is the only way

win in the Ace Of Diamonds at

The brilliant filly’s performance
was so good, it just about

On a national-record-breaking
speed, the Mark Purdon and
Hayden Cullen trained star sat
parked throughout before breezing
by her rivals at the top of the
straight as if that sizzling pace
had meant nothing to her.
Clearly a champion of her year
and unbeaten in eight starts,
Millwood Nike is simply made

Hope was rapt to be able to go

nicely and was able to quicken
when I asked her to.”
Sunday’s win was Millwood’s
Nike’s third at Group One level
following her record breaking
win in the Sires Stakes Fillies
Championship last month.
Though she was clearly there
before the race, her stunning
victory clearly pushed Milwood
Nike higher into rarefied air,
“There are no certainties in
racing, but I knew that if he
was on his game it would take
a special horse to beat him over
the short distance.
“In my opinion, he is the best
horse in the race and I think you
have to drive him like it.”
Hope was pleased to get
another Group One for Dobson,
particularly having recorded
his first elite-level victory in the
bike behind Muscle Mountain in
the NZ Trotting Championship
(2600m) last year.
“Ian has shown a lot of faith in
me, so it is great to reward him
with another group one win,”
Hope said.
Victory in the Trotting Free-
For-All is nothing new for the
Hopes, with the Woodend Beach
operation having tasted success
in the race with their former top
trotter Monbet.
“Monbet won it twice. He was
a super horse and so is this guy,”
Hope said.

Record-breaking filly takes eight-for-eight
occupied only by some of New
Zealand’s greatest ever two-yearold
fillies.
“Eight for eight at the end of
the year, to run a national record

way she did it,” Purdon said.
“She is the best filly.”
The winner stopped the clock
in the Ace Of Diamonds in a
2-20.3 time for 1980m.
In doing so, Millwood Nike
broke the 2-21.2 national record
time she set in the Sires Stakes
Fillies Championship on Show

Millwood Nike is raced by
rugby league identities Frank

Stephen Byrne, Steve Thompson

Don’t Stop
Dreaming
takes control
one lap out
• By Joshua Smith
HIS SECOND-LINE draw may
have kept him out of favour with
favourite punters, but it proved
no issue for Don’t Stop Dreaming
who led home a sea of blue in the
Group One Ace Of Spades 2YO
C&G Mobile Pace (1980m).
The Mark Purdon and Hayden
Cullen-trained juvenile had won
five of his previous six starts, including
the group one Sires’ Stakes
Final (1980m) last start, however it
was stablemate Sherlock who was
backed into favouritism after he
drew the one marble.
Purdon kept his faith in Don’t
Stop Dreaming and elected to
stick with the colt, with the
knowledge he would have to show
his superior qualities in order to
defeat his favoured stablemate.
Purdon eased his charge off the
gate to settle at the rear of the field
before assuming control of the
race off Sherlock with a lap to go.
Don’t Stop Dreaming didn’t
relinquish his advantage and saw
off a late challenge from Sherlock
to win by a neck, with a further
2-1/2 lengths back to Sinbad in
third, while Final Collect and
Vinke B completed the first five
for the All Stars barn.
Touching on his tactics, Purdon
said he felt he needed to make his
move when he did otherwise he
would risk getting boxed in.
“Johnny (Dunn) was outside me
early and when he got to the death
I could hear others coming and I
thought the three-wide line would
block him in, so I opted to make
a quick decision to get out and get
going with him,” Purdon said.
“He was clearly well today and
once he made the front he was going
to be hard to beat, and he held
Sherlock off well.”
Don’t Stop Dreaming was
purchased by Purdon out of
Studholme Bloodstock’s 2021

THE LEAST talked about of
Paul Nairn’s incredible talents
as a horseman shone through
when Confessional ran to a
commanding win in the group
one Ace Of Clubs at Addington
on Grand Prix Day.
All of Nairn’s skill with a
young trotter was on display
when the youngster powered
away from his rivals in a national-record
breaking victory.
Nairn’s drive was as good as
his horse’s brilliant performance.
Over the years, the Leeston
trainer has handed the reins of his
star horses to a line-up of top class
drivers, including David Butt.
These days it’s Butt sitting
in the stands as a successful
part-owner and breeder of
Confessional as Nairn is tasked
with making the decisions on the
track.
The result was Nairn producing
a steer as good as those Butt
produced for him behind his

could do about it.

After tracking the three-wide

a crushing blow.

he is just in super form.”

Stylish welcoming
home a show stopper
There’s something special about the
Mahuri showhome by Greenland Homes
with its contemporary design and layout. It
is stylish and welcoming and well worth a
visit if you’re thinking of building your own
home.
The 242m2 Mahuri home is in Lincoln’s
Southfield Drive and is next-door to the
smaller Toroheke showhome at 196m2.
The entrance at Mahuri is spacious with
1.4m wide barn-doors on either side and a
stunning feature wall.
All four bedrooms are very generous in
size with plenty of storage and a built-in
desk in one of them. The sleeping areas are
serviced by a full bathroom and separate
toilet with brightly coloured yellow tiles
setting off a beautiful bath. Underfloor
heating in both the bathroom and ensuite
will keep toes warm during the colder
months.
Enter the living areas and kitchen
through the barn doors and again it is a
spacious and stylish space with a separate
living/media room at the far end behind
the kitchen. Cathedral ceilings in the dining
and living areas take the room height up to
4.5m.
Serviced by a Rinnai hot water system
the designer kitchen has green lacquered
joinery, engineered porcelain benchtops
and an incinerator with instant hot water
tap.
Greenland Homes is a hands-on
company with a small hardworking team
servicing the Canterbury area only. They
have a massive range of easy-to-read
information including an explanation of
the different ceiling types for internal areas.
An excellent feature in the showhome
brochures is that there is a build price
on the front as per the showhome’s
specifications but, on the back, there is a
list of options to reduce that price including
changing the type of doors, a smaller
shower, altering the cladding or removing
the built-in study.

Your house is on the market and you
hope to get a good price. While market
performance will largely influence this,
presenting your home at its best will help.
First impressions count from the
moment potential buyers view a property
from the street to the moment they walk
through the front door.
Weed the garden, cut back unruly
shrubs and prune trees where needed. Kill
off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass seed
over bald patches and fertilise the lawn.
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess or
bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby items
or fitness equipment and if too many
photos on the wall pack these away so the
home looks roomy.
If there is a gap or a room needs
enhancing, look at what you have. A piece
of furniture might be painted up or an
old leather bound book popped on the
coffee table. Shelves will also add depth
to a narrow space while mirrors may give
the illusion of a larger space. In entryways,
add an easy chair, small table, bookcase or
large vase.
Awkward spaces such as coved ceilings
in attics or upstairs rooms might be
converted into storage shelving and
the room given a purpose as an office,
playroom or extra bedroom so viewers can
see how the room might be used.
Stow possessions neatly in containers,
shelving or tidily in cupboards;
highlighting the storage potential within
the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy for
viewing at any time.
Move the pets outside as not all buyers
will be pet lovers while some may suffer
pet allergies putting them off a house if
they see a pet inside.
If parts of the house look tired, consider
renovating by painting walls, replacing
worn carpet, or modernising the kitchen,
bathroom and toilet; rooms that should
sparkle. Replace tired cabinetry, or the
benches and cupboard/drawer fronts then
update old toilets, showers or kitchen
appliances. Modernising these rooms can
lift the final selling price.
Use consistent and light paint colours
throughout for balance and seamlessness,
making the house appear more spacious.
An effect that is increased when walls and
curtains share the same or a similar colour.
Consider the personality and purpose
of a room. Bright colours lift living areas
especially if large and open. However,
bedrooms are suited to calmer softer
colours with just a touch of bold. Layer
bedding or use throws for effect along with
cushions or a stuffed toy in a children’s
room.
With curtaining, smaller patterns or
plain fabrics are the rule for smaller rooms
whereas larger patterns make spacious
areas cosier. If blinds or drapes are past
their best, replace these even if it is only
with neutral cotton curtains. The effect
will be worth it.
Eco-friendly features will also add value
for some buyers though not universally,
however earthy natural colours and
features are popular. Consider who your
target buyers are likely to be and what will
appeal to them.

Booth’s power-hitting gives

comfortable win
COUNTRY cricket swung
into the sport’s shortest
format at the weekend with
the one-day competition
front-runners continuing
their form in the T20s.
There were double
victories for Weedons on
the back of several useful
personal performances.
The stand-out effort of
the round though belonged
to Ethan Booth.

smashed an incredible, unbeaten
62 off just 26 balls,

BACKYARD CRITTERS
OVER THE weekend
I noticed several of my
Hebe (genus now called
Veronica) plants riddled
with caterpillars and
looking very scruffy to say
the least.
I have collected some
of the offending larvae
and will try to rear them
through to moth to confirm
their identity.
In the meantime, I
found a moth resting on
one of the Hebes (I prefer
the original name) and
identified it as Amblyptilia
heliastis, which as it turns
out, has Hebe as it’s larval
host plant.
Since then, I noticed
Hebes on the corner of the
Lincoln Challenge service
station also
had the same caterpillars
and damage. It is of course
possible that the larvae and
adult I identified are two
different species, but the
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects
and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new species
found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things around us.
Check out the full list of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.

Watch your garden
for destructive moth
adult is an endemic New
Zealand species.
Adults are T-shaped and
have narrow wings approximately
the thickness of the
abdomen but wider at the
wingtips.
They are light brown
in colour with darker
brown patches including
a triangular one close to
wingtip. They have a 19mm
wingspan.
Adults fly between October
and February and are
usually associated with a
subalpine species of Hebe.
Checking iNaturalist, it
seems my observation is
the southernmost found
to date and eight observations
have been found in
Christchurch.
So, keep an eye out for
damage or caterpillars on
your Hebe plants.
It has been a year marked with significant movements. From the lifting of Covid Traffic
Light System to the lifting of our Womens Rugby World Cup Championship trophy, it has
been a wild ride! Is it done yet? Who knows, we are all working through pressures of rising
cost of living. As we move towards Christmas, the festive season can easily tag along with
it a mood of stress and anxiety. While this may be true, the good news is that anxiety does
not have to be your experience of the festivities. The christian story of Christmas carries
a calming and reassuirng message of joy, love and hope. The boy-child born on Christmas
day, Jesus Christ, is a joy-filling reminder that God is interested in humanity therefore we
don’t have to carry the burdens of life all by ourselves. God invites us into a loving and
secure relationship with Him that no matter what life throws at you, you have a strong
sense of hope that makes you resilient through seasons of life. Feel free to pop into one of
our Christmas services this December for a chance to hear more of the Christmas story
and sing some of your favourite carols. Looking forward to connecting with you in person.

In praise of 150 years
Cecil Mountfort design: The church as it
was originally built with a timber exterior,
roof-mounted belfry and decorative tiled
roofing.
St Paul’s West Melton is excited to
celebrate 150 years of worship on December
11 at 10am with a special service led by
Archdeacon Mark Chamberlain.
Morning tea, lunch and cutting of a
150th celebratory cake will follow the
service, along with a chance for current and
past clergy/congregation members to get
together and reminisce on their time at St
Paul’s.
The first service
The first Church of England service
(conducted by Archdeacon James Wilson
of Riccarton), was held at West Melton in
the town’s original schoolhouse, on the 22
Modern upgrade: St Pauls Anglican
Church West Melton as it is now with its
separate belfry, roughcast exterior and
updated roofing.
December 1872.
In the same year, J. Potts called for
tenders to build a church in the town,
stating the timber was already on the site.
Built to a Benjamin Mountfort design, the
new Church of St Paul’s was consecrated
by Bishop Harper, 12 years later on 28
November 1884, with the service attracting
over 100 people.
The church’s 200-pound bell, which
still rings out every Sunday morning, and
on other special occasions, was donated
in 1885 by Mrs Neave. Until 1952, it was
located at the west end of the church then
later installed in a free-standing belfry (built
by Lester Langdale), beside the church’s
vestibule.
Between 1884 and 1942, the church was
part of the Parochial District of Courtenay,
however due to a shortage of clergy during
World War 2, St Paul’s West Melton became
part of the Parish of Prebbleton and
Templeton.
In 1956, St Paul’s joined with St Saviour’s
Templeton and St Columba’s Hornby, to
form a separate parish with local people
taking an active role. Today, weekly services
are held at St Paul’s West Melton, under the
ministry of the Reverend Les Memory.
A growing community
While the community has grown over
the years, St Paul’s church has maintained
its authenticity with few structural changes
– the exterior walls have been roughcast
and the roof replaced. The church’s hall was
donated and moved to the site in the late
1970s, to accommodate 36 children who
attended the Sunday School.
The church sits proudly today as a
testament of the past along with its
cemetery bearing the names of many wellknown
local families.
The organisers of the 150th would
love to hear from anyone interested in
attending the celebration. To register,
contact: Ross Jones, 027 625 8467.

Inaugural polo event
a day to remember
Support
Sheffield Country Polo has
held its inaugural tournament
with organisers already
enthused about next year’s
event. Dan Van Der Salm
reports
WITH MOTHER nature threatening
to derail the first Sheffield Country Polo
afternoon on November 26, about 700
people were looking to the skies in the
hope she would play ball. And did she
ever – what a day.
With a stellar line-up led by Matt
O’Sullivan from Ashburton, the players
put on a real show. Right from the first
whistle, where the ponies raced in an
impressive jousting style start, the game
was on.
MC John Dunne was in his element behind
the microphone and had the crowd
revved.
Four high quality and even games
were played. A bit of wind meant the ball
floated around and occasionally flew into
the crowd, but this just kept everyone on
their toes and their eyes on the game.
Half time entertainment was a real
laugh, with the stomping of the divots,
the Sheffield PTA auction (a highlight
being a processed lamb selling for $700),
and a fat beagle male and dalethorpe
house female best dressed competition,
won by Ethan and Sally.
The final game was taken out by the
Bayleys team, of Ben Turner, Tom Turner
and Mark Hutchinson. Special mention
must be made of Taylor Cleland, who
took it all off to personally raise some
funds with a well-timed and supported
lap of the field.
Next up was the human sulky race,
with eight teams competing for the
coveted bragging rights. A tough round
robin was followed by a tight final, which
saw the win go to Progressive Livestock,
captained by Rich Harley.
After the formalities were completed,
local group The Pig Saddle Band took the
proceedings well into the night.
A massive thank you must go out to the
following people, for without them the
event would not have happened: MC John
Dunn, Frews Transport, Fahey Fence Hire,
Sheffield Primary School, Sheffield Rugby
Club, Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade
for their outstanding taxi services, St
John, Malvern Lions Club, and the many
people who helped on the day. Event organisers
were blown away with the level of
support from the wider community as well.
Watch out for next year’s tournament,
which promises to be bigger and better.

Leeston retains that village sense of
community and belonging, and people
support each other. Long-time locals Jeff
and Bronwyn from Hammer Hardware
suggest that Leeston is a communityminded
town that hasn’t lost its Kiwi
values, including helping others when
they need it. Whether it be volunteers,
the town committee or local businesses
sponsoring events, Leeston people are
keen to provide support.
Part of being a community is
participating in organised activities and
events. For example, in the lead-up to
Christmas, people can be involved in the
Day Club, The Ellesmere Christmas Golf
Tournament or giving donations.
Volunteers run the Day Club at the
Leeston Library from 10am to 2.15pm
every second and fourth Tuesday of the
month. Activities for older people include
morning tea, lunch, games, speakers,
music, quizzes and outings.
Volunteers also organise the upcoming
Ellesmere Golf Christmas Tournament.
This event attracts 120-150 entrants
across different divisions, with raffles and
an auction supported by several local
businesses.
The townspeople also help out those
who may be struggling, especially at
Christmas. The Ellesmere Community
Care Organisation accepts Christmas gifts
and non-perishable grocery items to be
distributed locally at the Lakeland Art
Gallery up to the 16th of December.

Leeston– Community
Spirit at Christmas
Times may be challenging, but Christmas brings joy,
togetherness and the Christmas spirit. Christmas shopping
may be well underway for some people while others are
still looking for inspiration. Leeston is a great place for
gift buying for friends and family while also supporting
local businesses. Window and indoor displays feature a
Christmas theme or showcase products to draw your eyes
and beckon you to open your wallet for that “must-have”
gift. As December nears, you’ll soon see the Christmas flags
adorning the lampposts along High Street.
A walk along Leeston’s High Street shows boutique
shops’ charm, creativity, and the feeling of individuality
while window shopping. With plenty of options to choose
from without being overwhelming, local worker Callum
suggests, “Buying gifts in Leeston is a lot easier as there
are different varieties, and it is convenient.” No
matter who you are buying for, there is a shop to
suit your needs, with a surprising range of products
for everyone. You might try High Street Collectibles
for a unique gift or treasures from the past, while
Lakeland Art Gallery may have a unique piece of
art for that special present. Hello Dolly Boutique
has a range of gorgeous clothing from local and
international designers if you’re after that perfect piece of
clothing. A Christmas pack of hair products or a voucher
from The Cutting Room may be much appreciated if you’re
looking for a practical idea.
If you are the creative type and you’re keen to make a
hand-crafted keepsake, then Kim at Periwinkle on High
Street has Christmas-themed classes to create stunning
houses, hoops, shadow boxes, table arrangements, fairy
doors and gnomes to grace any home over the Christmas
season.
This year, don’t suffer the stress and parking hassles of
shopping at a mall or the City centre. Instead, support
Leeston businesses and experience convenient and friendly
personal service when you buy unique and exciting gifts
locally.

Santa’s workshop
is coming
to Darfield!
Ever visit a town when you’re
on holiday and come away
with that special something
you haven’t seen before?
Well, that’s exactly what can happen
when you come out to Darfield. With
an ever-increasing number of gift shops
to choose from, you’ll be sure to find
a special Christmas present or two.
And while you’re there, stop for lunch
or coffee or even try one of Darfield’s
biggest icecreams – we’re famous
for them. You might even find some
specials for your Christmas dinner at
our local supermarket, butchery and
fruit and vege stores.
Menzshed Darfield has been busy with its members
creating a range of wooden toys throughout the year.
Open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 12pm, the
Menzshed has a display area where you can choose
that special Santa present. Toys range from merry-gorounds,
cars, trucks, graders, tractors, dolls’ beds, child
size garden chairs, fairy doors, push carts and building
blocks to name just a few. Also available to purchase is
a delightful restored rocking horse, its design said to
have a link to royalty!
And if you’re looking for a particular item to be
made, Menzshed Darfield may able to help, so give
them a call on 022 454 2846 or email: darfieldmenz10@

Give the Gift of “Peace
of Mind” this Christmas
‘Tis the season for family memories and… estate
planning! Giving your family the gift of ‘peace of
mind’ might not be the most exciting present, but
it sure is a great way to show your loved ones that
you care, by protecting assets and family.
We share four festive reasons why you should
take this opportunity to work with us to complete
your estate planning:
1. The family is together. Having meaningful
estate planning discussions can help us to
deepen connections and to seek input from
those we care about most. While this discussion
is useful, your wishes and decisions are final. If
you want some help with knowing how to start
the estate planning conversation, start with a noobligation
phone call to your local TP team,
03 317 9099.
2. You are likely to be in the right, future-focused,
mindset. The holiday season is a time to reflect
on the year that has been and to set goals for the
New Year. There may have been new additions
to your family that you may want to include in
your Will. The holiday season is full of reflection,
goalsetting, milestones and special occasions
to celebrate, all of which typically require the
updating of your estate plan.
ADVERTISEMENT
3. A change to your estate. Although not the
reason for the season, Christmas is often a time
when gifts are exchanged. If you inherit property
or money this holiday season you may want to
include it in your Will. Many families pass down
sentimental gifts through generations. If you
receive a generational possession, you may know
exactly who it should go to next and the best way
to ensure that happens is to record the direction
in your Will.
4. Your TP team are local lawyers, that endeavour
to make the process quick and painless. If you
can’t make it happen prior to Christmas, take a
step towards progressing the matter by booking
an appointment for the New Year. We are closed
from Christmas Eve and re-open on the 16th
January 2023.
One of the most important gifts you can give your
family is peace of mind. Tavendale and Partners
Lawyers are able to assist with much more than
just a Will. Your TP team can give you specialist
legal advice, tailored to your circumstances, to
ensure your wishes are recorded and your estate
correctly administered in the future. December
is here and Christmas is near, get in contact with
your local TP team for an initial consultation.

Embracing ecofriendly
practices
Two local businesses, Darfield Eco Centre and A
Twisted Bunch, recently received first and second place
area awards respectively for Malvern for their dedication
to maintaining their environmentally friendly status
through the Selwyn Responsible Business Awards.
The awards, run by Lincoln Envirotown, help
encourage businesses and schools to make their
practices as environmentally and socially responsible as
possible.
This year Darfield Eco Centre took first place with
runner-up A Twisted Bunch, while Glentunnel School
won first place for the Education category.
This year Darfield Eco Centre received the platinum
award, a step up from the gold received in 2019.
Feedback on her entry this year mentioned the wide
range of eco products for sale as well as, “Your effort to
minimize waste and to reuse and recycle is outstanding.
I like how you make plant labels
out of plastic bottles!”.
Owner Jane Vaissaire says
she has a strong focus on being
as environmentally friendly as
possible. “I don’t use chemicals
in the treatment of our plants at
the centre. I try to encourage,
share information and educate
others to be eco friendly in their
practices too.”

Jane says she sees the centre as being a social hub
where like-minded people can meet and learn. She
happily works with schools, childcare centres and
garden clubs, and also welcomes individuals and groups
to come along and share their skills. She also adds that
her husband, Rex Verity, has been instrumental in
the success of her business, supporting, encouraging
and educating her in the benefits of running an
environmentally sustainable business.
Ali Van Groen of A Twisted
Bunch is equally happy with her
placing and gold endorsement
in this year’s awards.
She says her aim has been to
create as small a footprint in her
business as possible. Ali tries
to source as much product as
possible locally and all her green
waste is composted. She works
hard with her growers to get her
floral products supplied unwrapped or wrapped using
recycled paper.
Ali also stocks organic products with packaging
designed to have minimal impact on the environment
and says she opts for New Zealand made or Fair Trade.

Adapting to climate change
A new report released by Lincoln University and Westpac
NZ finds agile farm management will be critical in
reducing emissions and adapting to climate change.
Authored by Lincoln University’s
Agribusiness and Economics Research
Unit on behalf of Westpac, The
Westpac NZ Agribusiness Climate
Change Report assesses the risks
and opportunities presented by
climate change, as well as the sector’s
vulnerabilities and potential responses.
Westpac NZ Head of Agribusiness
Tim Henshaw says the report and a
series of factsheets were designed to
provide Westpac customers and other
farmers and growers with impartial
information about the way climate
change may affect their location and
type of production, and how they can
respond.
“Importantly, the report finds
there is already a range of existing
management options available to assist
farmers in strengthening the physical
resilience of their farming systems
and meeting New Zealand’s 2030
agriculture climate targets, with only a
few requiring an initial investment of
capital.
“However, applying these options
more widely will require uptake of best
practice farm management. This may
require a significant uplift in skills and
training to ensure a greater number
of farmers have sufficient expertise to
both reduce emissions and adapt to
climate change.”
Mr Henshaw says the report makes
information relevant to farmers and
growers by exploring credible case
studies. He says the optimal response
to climate change will be different for
every producer.
“There is no single off-the-shelf
solution. I’d encourage primary
producers to think about how the
climate is changing in their part of
the country, and what effect that will
have on production. They also need
to consider what expertise they have
available to adapt their operations, and
plan to fill that gap if it exists.”
Mr Henshaw says the report also
explores the opportunities that
may arise for producers that adapt
quickly. “In some cases, land may
become suitable for different types of
production that were not previously
viable.”
In another finding, the report also
assesses the way de-stocking combined
with improved productivity can help
both reduce emissions and maintain
profitability. He says many initiatives
should be regarded as ‘win-win’ as
they will have side benefits such as
improving soil health or biodiversity.
The report was produced
as part of a wider body of
work undertaken by Lincoln
University for Westpac NZ
looking at the impact of
climate change on agriculture
in New Zealand.
Mr Henshaw says Westpac can play a
key role as a lender in helping farmers
and growers prepare for a warmer
future.
“Earlier this year we launched a pilot
of our new Sustainable Agribusiness
Loans with a small group of farming
customers. The loan is the first of its
kind to require a customer to meet all
parts of the Sustainable Agriculture
Finance Initiative guidance. This
guidance includes practices to
reduce emissions, improve long-term
resilience and deliver more sustainable
outcomes in terms of water, waste,
pollution and ecosystems.”
Once farmers commit to meet the
guidance, they have two years to
achieve that goal and will be supported
with discounted loan pricing.
Westpac plans to make the loan
available to its agri customers in 2023.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Rural land could be your
next big investment
Land development is typically thought
of as housing, but it’s forests that are the
hot opportunity right now for investors.
If you’ve never thought of selling or
developing your land as a forestry
investment, now’s the time to find out more.
Rural landowners may be sitting
on unused land or land they consider
“unsuitable” for other developments due to
typograhy, but could be subdivided to plant
new forests for carbon emissions trading,
earning between $7k-14k per hectare
income every year for 15-50 years.
What are Carbon Credits anyway?
You may not be aware that carbon credits
are actually trees at work, pulling out
carbon dioxide (CO2) from our atmosphere
to store it in their trunks, and release
oxygen in exchange. One carbon credit
is measured by one tonne of CO2 being
exchanged. Landowners in the Emissions
Trading Scheme (ETS) can earn carbon
credits by planting new forests, and earn
revenue every year until the trees are felled
and replanted. Businesses who emit high
levels of Co2 through their operations
can purchase carbon credits each year to
off-set the carbon they produce with the
CO2 being taken in & stored by trees. New
targets for businesses to be “carbon neutral”
(have the same level of carbon being
removed as they put into the atmosphere)
means that demand for credits, and land for
forests, is on the rise.
Cost & Returns
In 2023 new ETS regulations will allow
species such as fast growing radiata pine to
be included in the scheme, creating exciting
new investment opportunities. A hectare
of radiata pines costs around $10-40k to
establish, and will return around 75 credits
for 16 years, that’s about $6675/ha per year,
at current credit rates. Forests planted with
hardwood indigenous species are even more
attractive to investors, and would earn
around 220 credits per year. The NZU price
for credits doubled from around $35 in late
2020 to over $89 earlier this year and set to
continue to rise.
Land owners get digging!
If you are a rural landowner or land
investor, now’s the time to find out more.
Survus+Rural specialises in helping
landowners realise the potential of their
rural land through surveying, and we can
help put you on the path to developing your
land for forestry investment. Get in touch
to find out what investment opportunities
could be hidden under your dirt.

chat and to find out more.

GARDENING 49
Keep moisture levels up during heat
IT’S NOW LESS than a month to
harvest summer vegetables and
prepare the garden for Christmas
and New Year holidays.
Houseplant care
As many houseplants originate
from tropical countries, they
grow best in the warmer summer
New Zealand months. Water and
fertilise regularly to take advantage
of this growing season. There
are now a wide range of houseplants
available so be adventurous
in trying to grow some new,
exotic specimens.
Vegetable garden
All summer vegetables are
making very rapid growth and,
in many cases, providing food
for the table. With quick maturing
vegetables such as dwarf
beans and radishes, sow limited
amounts at three to four week
intervals. Vegetables to harvest
include asparagus (the last for the
season), beetroot, beans, cabbage,
carrots, lettuce, onion, silver beet
and spinach.
For late summer harvesting,
continue to plant or sow, beans,
beetroot, cabbage, carrots, corn,
cucumbers, onions, radishes,
lettuce, silver beet, tomatoes, and
zucchini. As these vegetables will
be growing during the hottest
months of the year, extra care
in preparing the soil is essential.
Add large quantities of compost
THIRSTY: Regular, deep watering is key to your plants
surviving summer.
to the existing soil to help with
water retention in February/
March. A side dressing of vegetable
fertiliser will help encourage
strong, healthy plant growth. Irrigate
the vegetables when required
and in adequate quantities.
In the flower bed
Summer flower gardens should
be well established by now
providing superb displays of
flowers. Dead head (the removal
of finished flowers) as required.
Water regularly as the soil begins
to dry out. Additional plantings
of the following summer annuals
can be made alyssum, aster, celosia,
cosmos, marigold, petunia,
salvia, strawflower, portulaca and
zinnias.
Strawberries
December is the main harvest
time for strawberries, hopefully
enough for Christmas lunch.
Cover the plants with bird netting
securely to keep away our
feathered friends. Water when
required as temperatures rise and
the soil dries. Maintain a layer of
clean crushed bark around plants
and inspect them regularly for
signs of botrytis – a grey fungus
mould that affects the fruit.
Raspberries
December is the main month
for harvesting raspberries, pick
the fruit as they ripen on the
canes. Where there is excessive
growth of new canes, remove
the weaker ones. Tie up canes to
wires or a wooden fence.
Fruit trees
A further application of fertiliser
can be made early in the
month. Some light pruning on
pip and stone fruit trees may be
required where there are unwanted
branches and to improve
provide airflow throughout the
tree. With very young trees irrigate
regularly to encourage a
strong, deep root system.
Rose care
Towards the end of the month
the early seasons flowering will be
completed, except with roses like
iceberg that just continue flowering
all summer. With other roses
a light ‘tidy up’ prune will stimulate
new growth that in turn will
produce more summer blooms.
Early December is the correct
time to apply a final amount of
rose fertiliser. Fertilising can
recommence again in March as
temperatures cool somewhat.
Continue adding compost around
the base of bush and climbing
roses, which works as both mulch
and a soil conditioner.
Lawns
Many lawns dry very quickly
towards the end of the month
and should be watered frequently
(best done in the evening to
maximise water usage). Avoid
cutting the lawn too close as this
causes the lawn to dry out even
quicker.
Herbs
Should be incredibly abundant
at this time of the year with some
exceptionally vigorous growing
herbs, trim lightly if you are not
using them. Plant additional parsley
and chives as required. Basil
will now thrive with increased
temperatures.
Preparing your garden
Have a plan for your garden
if you are heading away. Water
is the most crucial element in
ensuring your plants survive
summer. Invest in a water timer
or ask neighbours to water your
garden deeply a few times a week.
Before you leave, harvest
anything that is almost ripe and
ensure plants that need support
are well staked and secured.
Weed your garden so they are not
competing with your plants for
water, then add a generous layer
of mulch to help keep soil moist.
Inside, put your indoor plants
in a bathtub with a small amount
of water at the bottom. Ensure
there is drainage holes in the
pots so the plant can take up the
water.

Classically styled and superbly detailed, the property demonstrates exceptional quality and exhibits eye-catching

setting for everyday occasions, featuring coved ceilings, a log burner and an elegant kitchen. Plenty of off-street
parking complements the internal access double garage that is topped by a lined attic. Zoning for sought-after
Ararira Springs Primary School and proximity to the area’s playgrounds and reserves is an obvious bonus.

WHAT’S THE
OUTLOOK FOR THE CANTERBURY
RURAL LIFESTYLE PROPERTY
Market
THIS SUMMER…
Summer 2022
Summer should provide above normal temps and near
normal or below rain fall, with soil moisture levels below
normal, according to the seasonal forecasts.
So, whilst the outlook maybe promising, prudent planning and
feed management is still required as we know the impact the
climate can have on our rural communities, particularly our
farming families.
The hot conditions experienced in the New Zealand property
market through the last few years, now seems a distant past…
however our local Canterbury rural lifestyle market seems
to continue to buck this trend with prices currently holding
steady. Whilst the number of overall sales is considerably down
from the booming market times, this is somewhat due to the
lack of available properties in the market, with people often
holding onto their treasured lifestyle properties and enjoying
them, demand is still strong, especially for quality well-located
properties with good access to the motorway system. With
continuing upwards pressure on interest rates and affordability
issues driven by inflation it may be that any price gains over
coming year slow considerably, and with an election towards
the end of next year we can expect some uncertainty to creep
into the market.
If you are considering selling, it’s a great time to present
your property with the vigorous growth of our Spring months
highlighting some breath-taking rural lifestyle properties.
Our agents get you more, with the largest real estate
network in Canterbury our Harcourts team provides greater
exposure for your rural lifestyle property, talk to one of team of
Rural Lifestyle Specialists, “your country partner” today about
a free appraisal of your property.
This November we were again proud to be the major sponsor
of the North Canterbury Wine Region Charity Golf Day at
Pegasus Golf and Sports Cub, helping the North Canterbury
Rural Support Trust, locals helping locals. The Trust is set up
to assist rural individuals and their families to get back on their
feet and is linked into local rural networks and can help people
facing challenging circumstances, such as financial, personal,
or climatic adverse events like drought, flood, or heavy snow.

Rolleston 2/652 Springston Rolleston Road
Calling all builders, developers and land bankers!
Here is a wonderful opportunity to secure a 12619m2 of prime land, perfectly located within the heart of Rolleston.
This land is already zoned Residential, meaning the options here are aplenty. The 1990s built, 240m2 5 bedroom brick
home features good sized open plan living areas with an updated kitchen. The living areas flow nicely to an outdoor
patio area, which provides a wonderful space for enjoying summer evenings with family or entertaining friends. The
master bedroom is a good size and is complete with an ensuite and walk in robe. The 4 additional bedrooms are all
doubles with robes. A comfortable home that provides purchasers options to either incorporate this home into a
future development, utilise the home as either a rental or owner occupy if looking at this as a landbank opportunity, or
simply remove and utilise the entire block as a blank canvas for development. For those looking at this as a land
banking opportunity, the land itself is well set up into two paddocks and there are shedding options on the property.
This really is a mini-lifestyle property in the middle of town! There are substantial developments going on within the
immediate vicinity of this property and it is no secret that Rolleston continues to grow in popularity and in-fill
developments such as this are going to become harder and harder to find.
