Legal 

concerns if 

council 

removes 

chlorine 

from water 

• By Susan Sandys 

DISTRICT COUNCIL staff are 

warning of the legal consequences 

of ceasing chlorination as 

councillors prepare to vote on the 

controversial issue today. 

Staff want to pursue chlorination 

temporarily until the water 

authority Taumata Arowai grants 

exemptions on a supply-by-supply 

basis. 

It comes as the district council’s 

first exemption application has 

failed, with Taumata Arowai’s 

exemption team recommending 

the application for Rakaia Huts be 

declined. 

District council 

chief executive 

David Ward and 

group manager 

infrastructure 

and property 

Murray Washington 

have laid 

out the law in information 

before David Ward 

councillors for 

their meeting today, explaining 

the Water Services Act imposes a 

duty on employees and contractors 

of councils to ensure safe 

drinking water.

Most recent flyover design to go ahead 


NZ TRANSPORT Agency 

Waka Kotahi has confirmed its 

recommended flyover design 

for the $125 million Rolleston 

improvements project. 

The roading authority has also 

given more details, such as plans 

for a bicycle underpass and a 

train station. 

In a summary of 756 pieces of 

feedback from a second round of 

engagement released last week, 

Waka Kotahi indicates it will 

move ahead with its most recent 

Rolleston 114m-long straight 

flyover design, between Rolleston 

Drive North and Jones Rd, rather 

than the 166m-long skewed 

option it initially suggested prior 

to round one of consultation last 

year. 

“Overall, people were 

generally more supportive of 

the recommended plan since 

changes were made following 

consultation last year,” an agency 

spokesperson said. 

Waka Kotahi was investigating 

improvements at the planned 

two-lane Dunns Crossing Rd/ 

Walkers Rd roundabout, such 

as a cycle underpass connecting 

with the future district council 

project of a Burnham to 

Rolleston cycleway. 

“In the meantime, land for a 

cycle underpass and connection 

FLYOVER: An artist’s impression of the planned Rolleston overbridge, and the site (below).

will be protected.” 

The spokesperson added there 

was space for a potential train 

station on the corner of Jones Rd 

and Hoskyns Rd, and a possible 

park and ride area, alongside 

new planned retail developments 

in that area. 

On Kidman St, district 

council-owned land had already 

been preserved for potential park 

and ride expansion, adjacent to 

an improved bus stop. 

“To encourage more people 

into buses instead of one-person 

car commutes to Christchurch, 

Kidman St buses will get ‘the 

jump’ ahead of traffic at the flyover 

traffic signals.” 

Each leg of the two-lane 

Dunns Crossing Rd/Walkers Rd 

roundabout would have a central 

MEARES WILLIAMS 

LAWYERS 

island refuge so pedestrians 

could cross the road in stages. 

In response to feedback from 

residents wanting more highway 

access, the spokesperson said 

these would compromise safety 

at intersections and reduce travel 

efficiency. 

“We have consulted with 

emergency services who are 

satisfied the recommended plan 

provides an improved level of 

highway access and connection,” 

the spokesperson said. 

A northbound off-ramp from 

the flyover to the highway was 

considered and ruled out, mainly 

because traffic signals would be 

needed on the flyover for rightturning 

traffic. 

The new roundabout would 

provide the main southern 

access to both sides of Rolleston, 

the same as the Rolleston 

Interchange at Weedons Rd 

provided from the north. A new 

off-ramp from a southbound 

service road to Rolleston Drive 

North would connect to Jones 

Rd, via the flyover. 

“The main southern entrances 

to Rolleston will be clearly signposted 

to give people plenty of 

warning. Appropriate highway 

signage will guide traffic as well 

as ‘wayfinding’ signs on surrounding 

local roads.” 

To prevent head-on crashes, 

flexible barriers would be installed 

in the middle of the highway 

from the southern end of the 

motorway to the roundabout. 

The spokespersons said Waka 

Kotahi was working with the 

district council to ensure the 

safety of pupils at West Rolleston 

Primary School on Dunns 

Crossing Rd. The district council 

planned to reduce the speed 

limit, build shared-use paths 

and signalise the intersection 

of Dunns Crossing Rd and 

Burnham School Rd.

DISTRICT councillors will be 

paid $54,453 per annum, up 

from $44,039 last local body 

term, while Deputy Mayor 

Malcolm Lyall will receive 

$65,344, up from $52,842 last 

term. 

The councillors have confirmed 

an equal split of the 

pool of funds from the Remuneration 

Authority between 

councillors, with the higher 

rate for the deputy mayor to 

reflect the increased responsibilities 

of that role. 

It follows Mayor Sam 

Broughton having his annual 

salary bumped up to $146,861, 

from the $138,411 he received 

last term. 

The Remuneration Authority 

sets the pay for elected 

members in New Zealand each 

year. For councils, it does this 

by providing each council with 

a pool of funds to divide up 

between members as it suits 

each council’s situation.

In Brief 

LINT CATCHES FIRE AT 

THE FAMOUS GROUSE 

A small laundry fire at The 

Famous Grouse Hotel gave 

guests a rude awakening at 

about 2am Sunday. A full 

evacuation took place after 

excess lint caused the fire. 

Lincoln volunteer fire brigade 

chief Richie Bee said the fire 

was “the size of my hand” and 

was dealt with “very quick.” Bee 

encouraged the public to “check 

dryers and look for an excess 

build up of lint.” 

CALL TO CHECK WEATHER 

BEFORE LIGHTING FIRES 

A vegetation fire has spurred 

firefighters to once again ask 

the public to check the weather 

before lighting controlled 

fires. Hororata Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief Bruce Sayer said 

members were called to a fire at 

about 1am Friday near Rakaia 

Gorge, Windwhistle. “It was a 

controlled burn, but had flared 

up in the nor’west wind,” he 

said. Sayer noted people make 

the same mistakes repeatedly. 

“People tend to burn their hedge 

clippings behind the hedge 

to keep it ‘out (of) the wind,’ 

but when the wind direction 

changes, the hedges catch fire.” 

The brigade also saw people 

lighting fires without checking 

The pool of funds and 

remuneration figures 

take into account the size 

of the governance role and 

average time required by 

an elected member on a 

council of that size, and a 

general comparison with 

parliamentary salaries. 

The district council has just 

10 councillors this local body 

term, after a representation 

review reduced the number 

from 11. 

the long-term weather forecast, 

and flames reignite as wind 

gusts picked up. Sayer advised 

people to check the wind even 

three or four days ahead and 

double-check their fires are 

extinguished, even if they think 

they are. The fire followed one 

in Doyleston on Wednesday 

at about 3.30pm. Leeston 

Volunteer Fire Brigade members 

responded to the blaze along 

about 300m of grass on a farm. 

Chief Matt Walker said it took 

about two hours to extinguish 

the blaze, which had started 

from a rubbish fire that got 

away in the wind. Meanwhile, 

no vegetation fires have been 

reported in Rolleston over the 

past two weeks. To date, there 

have been 10 around the area 

since October 26.

MINOR INJURIES AFTER 

CRASH 

Lincoln firefighters are 

reminding drivers to look both 

ways after a collision between a 

car and a truck at a three-way 

intersection. The two vehicles 

crashed at the intersection of 

Waterholes Rd, Robinsons Rd 

and Larcombs Rd on December 

1. Lincoln volunteer fire brigade 

chief Richie Bee said they did 

not have to cut anyone out of 

the vehicles, but attended to one 

person with minor injuries until 

an ambulance arrived. They were 

“extremely lucky,” he said. A St 

John spokesperson confirmed an 

ambulance and rapid response 

unit attended. Two patients were 

assessed by the ambulance crew 

and one person was taken to 

Christchurch Hospital. 

NEWS 7 

Contamination 

risk from 

several sources 

• From page 1 

“There are significant fines for 

breaching this duty. Councillors 

acting without expert advice (to 

force cessation of chlorination) are 

placing staff and council’s contractors 

in a very difficult, exposed 

legal position should anything go 

wrong,” Washington said. 

Staff prepared the information 

for today’s meeting as councillors 

resolved to make a decision, following 

at their last meeting councillors 

Grant McMillan and Sophie McInnes 

seeking cessation of temporary 

chlorination, which has been rolled 

out over the last three months. 

Washington said the district 

council now needed to address issues 

the Taumata Arowai exemption 

team had identified with the Rakaia 

Huts supply, “which staff believe 

will be the benchmark for future 

exemption applications.” 

While the exemption team found 

the huts’ drinking water supply 

was well operated and drew from 

good quality source water, the area 

was served by domestic wastewater 

systems which meant there was a 

risk of human pathogenic viruses, 

bacteria, and protozoa getting into 

groundwater. This contamination 

risk was exacerbated by water loss 

in the supply’s distribution system. 

There was an additional risk from 

the faecal matter of roosting birds 

landing on the supply’s storage tanks.

Battle over Te Ara Ātea and 

word ‘library’ goes to council 


ROLLESTON Residents 

Association members are taking 

their battle to have the word 

library included in the name Te 

Ara Ātea direct to councillors. 

Today the association chair 

Moneel Pratap and vice chair 

Jens Christensen will speak in 

the public forum segment of 

the district council’s fortnightly 

1pm meeting. 

They will ask the district 

council to add the word library 

to all signage for the one-yearold 

$22.7 million Te Ara Ātea 

building on Tennyson St. 

They believe just having the 

name Te Ara Ātea on its own 

is confusing to newcomers, a 

stance they have received both 

support and criticism for in 

dozens of letters to the Selwyn 

Times. 

The approach to councillors 

comes following staff earlier this 

year declining the association’s 

request. 

Te Ara Ātea is a library and 

multi-use community facility, 

which replaced the former 

Rolleston Library. 

Meaning “the unobstructed 

trail to the world and beyond,” 

the name was gifted to the 

community by Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga.

One case of paratyphoid in district 


THERE WAS one case of 

paratyphoid fever notified for 

Selwyn district in the week to 

November 25. 

Canterbury Medical Officer of 

Health, National Public Health 

Service, Te Whatu Ora Dr 

Cheryl Brunton said paratyphoid 

was not a common illness 

in New Zealand and most cases 

acquired the disease overseas 

through consuming contaminated 

water or food. 

For the five years to date, 

there had been a total of nine 

cases notified in Canterbury. 

The last case of paratyphoid 

fever in the region was notified 

in March, with only two cases 

reported in the year to date for 

the region. 

Paratyphoid fever was a 

similar illness to typhoid fever, 

but the clinical manifestations 

tended to be milder and the 

duration shorter. 

It often manifested as acute 

gastroenteritis. 

Three-month recovery 

from crash injury 


A LEESTON woman sat injured 

in her crashed car, hidden 

from the road, until emergency 

services found her. 

Robyn, who wanted to go by 

only her first name, said she must 

have fallen asleep at the wheel, 

something she had never done 

before in her lifetime. 

Aged in her 60s, Robyn said she 

had been able to open the drivers’ 

door after she crashed into a 

ditch with a low level of water in 

it, along Buckleys Rd, Doyleston. 

However, she could not climb out 

due to “excruciating” back pain. 

She said she saw a large tractor 

go past, but the driver did not see 

her due to long grass along the 

verge. She phoned her sister who 

lives nearby, who alerted emergency 

services after not being able 

to find the car herself. 

Robyn said when the crash 

happened, she had been returning 

from a pilates class at West 

Melton to pick up her husband 

from work, which was about 

three minutes away from the 

crash site. She said she had felt 

tired and the car was quite hot, 

but had not thought she was so 

tired she would have fallen asleep, 

but this must of been what had 

happened. 

Robyn said she had just listened 

to the 1pm news on the radio. 

Next thing she knew she was 

skidding along the verge on the 

other side of the road and unsuccessfully 

tried to turn the wheel 

to get back up on the road. She 

bounced down into the ditch, 

with the car straddling it and 

remaining upright. 

“My overwhelming feeling is 

gratitude that I didn’t hurt firstly 

anybody else because that must 

be the most awful thing to live 

with, but also myself that I didn’t 

end up with more severe injuries 

than I have,” Robyn said. 

She also thanked her rescuers, 

who had been “awesome”. 

Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade 

members took her out of the car 

on a stretcher through the rear 

hatchback door, after ambulance 

personnel administered pain 

relief. Her injuries were compression 

fractures to her spine. She 

was in hospital for about one 

week following the crash, late 

last month. She is now mostly 

using crutches for walking, with a 

three-month recovery ahead. 

Brigade chief Matt Walker said 

Robyn had been on the phone to 

emergency services in the car as 

firefighters drove along the road 

and saw the car. It had been a 

routine extraction. 

“It’s something we train for,” 

he said.

Legal Matters 

Change isn’t just coming, it’s here. There have been lots of 

legal developments updating the legal landscape this year! 

The 114-year-old Incorporated Societies Act 1908 was replaced by the 

Incorporated Societies Act 2022 which came into effect on 5 April 2022. The 

new Act is well overdue and should improve governance and effectiveness of 

clubs and other not-for-profit organisations. Similar to the Trusts Act 2019, 

the new Incorporated Societies Act collates the rules and principles applying 

to clubs and modernises the legislation. Until October 2023 the old and 

new Acts run in parallel. After October 2023 all existing clubs will have to 

re-register under the new Act and all new societies will have to be registered 

under that Act. It is also likely that all clubs will need to update their rules in 

order to be able to re-register. If any existing club fails to register under the 

new Act before 1 December 2025 it ceases to exist. This could cause serious 

repercussions for clubs that own assets, have entered into contracts, or hold 

bank accounts, and therefore something to discuss with us in 2023. 

We expect many are familiar with the Anti-Money Laundering and 

Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (“AML/CFT Act”). On 30 June 

2022, the Ministry of Justice concluded a review about how the AML/CFT Act 

has performed since 2017. It has shown that the national risk assessment 

is out of date, the regime is inadequately resourced, and the “one size fits 

all” approach isn’t as effective as it could be. The Ministry recently released 

a comprehensive review, making 215 recommendations for amendments to 

legislation, regulation and operational matters. Law firms have a mediumhigh 

inherent risk of AML/CFT, with real estate being a preferred asset for 

criminals to invest in the proceeds of crime. The importance of completing 

Customer Due Diligence (“CDD”) has been re-emphasized in the 2022 

application for leave to appeal the landmark case of Jiaxin Finance Ltd v R. 

In this case the Crown alleged Mr Gong, a businessman living in Canada, 

used New Zealand to launder proceeds from an illegal Chinese pyramid 

scheme. Jiaxin Finance Limited was fined 2.25 million dollars and therefore 

this case serves as a timely reminder keep on top of CDD and record-keeping 

procedures. 

Important amendments to The Fair Trading Act 1986 came into force on 

16 August 2022 following the introduction of the Fair Trading Amendment 

Act 2021 (“FTA”). The mid-2022 changes sought to tackle unfair commercial 

practices by extending the current unfair contract terms regime to also apply 

to standard form small trade contracts and by introducing a prohibition 

against unconscionable conduct in trade. A timely reminder for small 

businesses to be aware of the impact of the terms in their contracts and to 

review them in 2023 to make sure they meet the new requirements. 

The Fair Pay Agreements Bill has been passed into law, with the new 

bargaining system to commence on 1 December 2022. The Fair Pay 

Agreements system brings together employers and unions within an entire 

sector to bargain for minimum employment standards for all employees 

in that industry or occupation. The system includes support for bargaining 

parties to assist them in navigating the bargaining process and reaching an 

outcome, as well as processes to ensure compliance. This is arguably the 

most radical and significant development to our employment laws in over 20 

years. We encourage all employers to reflect on what impact the changes will 

have, whether now or in the future. 

Succession law in New Zealand was drafted many years ago and it’s 

no secret that it requires reform. On 15 December 2021 Parliament was 

presented with the Law Commission’s report entitled “Review of succession 

law: rights to a person’s property on death”. Amongst 140 recommendations, 

ultimately the report recommended that a new inheritance (Claims Against 

Estates) Act should be introduced as the principal source of law applying 

to entitlements and claims against an estate. While many may have hoped 

to see legal development on the topic this year, the only update is as 

follows: “Given the scope of the Law Commission’s recommendations, the 

complexity of these areas of law, and the engagement required with a 

broad range of stakeholders, the Ministry’s work to achieve these reforms 

will take a period of years and will need to be balanced against other 

Government priorities.” This means we are unlikely to see any significant 

legal development in the Succession and Estate Planning space this year. 

2022 has been another year for legal development in the Resource 

Management space and it doesn’t look set to stop here. On top of new 

regulation and proposals in the highly productive soils and climate 

emissions spaces, the Government has now introduced two of the three 

new Acts set to replace the Resource Management Act 1991 (“RMA”). With 

the new Natural and Built Environment Act and Spatial Planning Act, the 

Government is promising a faster and easier way to manage our urban 

and rural environments. On 16 November 2022, our Environment Minister, 

David Parker, commented the changes will free-up land and resources for 

additional housing, save developers, infrastructure providers and businesses 

hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and set limits to maintain current 

environmental levels and targets where degradation needs to be restored. 

The new Acts are not without their criticisms however, so we will be watching 

their progression through the House and Select Committee with interest. 

The changes are expected to take roughly 10 years to implement, so 

unfortunately not a quick fix to the RMA’s troubles. 

Finally, following on from the 2020 Southern Response Earthquake Services 

Limited v Dodds case, the Government has approved a payment package 

to eligible homeowners who cash settled an earthquake claim with AMI or 

Southern Response prior to 1 October 2014 where an internal “Detailed 

Repair/Rebuild Analysis” was not provided to the homeowner. We have seen 

many claimants come forward and take advantage of their entitlements 

under this offer. Your ability to make a claim continues on in 2023 and 

we therefore encourage you to look into whether you might be one of the 

approximately 3000 eligible homeowners. We have a dedicated insurance 

team ready to assist, and with a fixed legal fee (only payable if you receive 

a payment from Southern Response), you have nothing to lose by checking 

your eligibility and potentially boosting your bank account in the new year. 

From the perspective of your local Selwyn TP team, we have had 

a fantastic year with the opening of our new Darfield office. We 

are actively involved in the Selwyn Community on a personal and 

professional level with many of our staff living in Selwyn and our team 

often meeting clients in Rolleston, Darfield and Leeston. We invite you 

to take advantage of our office space available in these locations - 

book an appointment to see us in Selwyn in 2023. 

If you’re looking for a new lawyer, we encourage you to contact us for a 

free, no obligation consultation about how we might be able to assist. 

We genuinely thank all our clients for their continued support in 2022 

and looking forward to seeing you in Selwyn in 2023!

TWO WEEKS ago (Wednesday, 

November 23) the Selwyn Times 

had a heading on page 20 saying 

‘Racial politics have intruded’ 

because a large number 

of Selwyn residents want the 

word ‘library’ added to the 

library building in Rolleston, 

which is named Te Ara Ātea. 

There is absolutely nothing 

racist about wanting the word 

‘library’ added to this building 

with a name that means “The 

trails to the world – the pathway 

into space – the unobstructed 

trail”. It is a good name for a 

building, but the word library 

should be on it also. No one 

would connect Te Ara Ātea with 

a library. 

Mayor Broughton was elected 

Mayor by the people of Selwyn 

for the people of Selwyn – not 

for his own agenda. I feel he 

should listen to the majority who 

want the word ‘library’ on the 

building and not be pushing his 

own barrow. Broughton needs to 

think would he still be mayor 

if all of this had surfaced before 

the council elections. 

-John Harcourt 

It has been very interesting 

reading the letters in the Selwyn 

Times regarding the library 

signage and chlorination of the 

water. 

In the last few years I don’t 

think I have read so many 

letters on two subjects. It is very 

obvious from these letters that 

many people are incensed at 

what the Selwyn council has 

done. But is the council listening 

– no. 

The reply from the Mayor, 

regarding the Māori name for 

the library, “It has been gifted to 

us”. 

The chlorination is a debacle. 

The council did not need to 

action this until they had applied 

for exemptions and had the 

LETTERS 11 

Library, water debates 

results as Christchurch and 

Waimakariri are doing. 

What is the matter with 

Selwyn council – are they just 

puppets of the Government? 

Where is your backbone? 

-Margaret Holding, (abridged) 

Rolleston 

My name is Jeromy Gilbert 

and I am writing to you all as 

an Ashburton-born and current 

home owner/resident of Southbridge. 

Prior to moving here I 

4 MARCH 2023 LINCOLN 

lived in Napier, Hawkes 

Bay, from 2008-2019. I was 

present during the August 

2016 waterborne disease 

outbreak of gastroenteritis in 

Havelock North, where 5500 of 

the town’s residents became ill 

with campylobacteriosis, 45 were 

subsequently hospitalised, and 

there was a possible contribution 

to four deaths. 

From 1976 until 2008 I lived 

in Thailand, where I worked 

(among other things) as a potable 

water systems engineer in 

refugee camps in the Northern 

regions of ‘the Golden Triangle’, 

as well as the Cambodian and 

Burmese border areas. 

I have witnessed firsthand and 

been involved in mitigating the 

devastating effects that unclean 

water can have on a population.

on the issues affecting life 

in Selwyn

I have also personally drunk 

chlorinated water for the entire 

31 years I lived and worked in 

Thailand. I am now 68 years old 

and, as far as I can discern, have 

no side effects. 

Therefore backed by my long 

and extensive experience with 

potable water, I implore you 

the Selwyn District Council 

to seriously reconsider your 

myopic, politically expedient 

bias and allow chlorination to 

go ahead unimpeded. Please 

don’t be swayed by “change 

resisters”. 

Gastroenteritis is a very 

serious issue and not to be 

gambled with. Yours is a public 

health and moral duty, not a 

popularity contest.

“Fair value has been a hot topic around retirement 

communities recently. Capital gain is just one thing we’ve 

always offered unlike most retirement villages. It gives 

residents more flexibility and confidence that they still 

have some equity in their home if needed.” 

“ If you sell your home we 

believe you should get the 

benefit. That’s only fair.”

A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE OF HOW KARAKA PINES 

VILLAGES’ CAPITAL GAIN MODEL MEASURES UP 

AGAINST A STANDARD VILLAGE MODEL. 

David and Anne * bought at a Karaka Pines Village in 2012. In 2019 

David needed to move into a care facility. When they sold their home 

they had sufficient funds to buy a serviced apartment at the care facility for 

Anne, as well as leaving them enough to pay for David’s care. 

If they’d been living at a village operating under the standard model, they 

would have ended up with only half as much. Anne would not have been 

able to afford to move to be with David.

Issues group celebrates 25 years 

Selwyn Women’s Issues Group foundation 

member Betty Plasteid, 93, and president 

Brenda Dunlop cut into a commemorative cake 

at the group’s 25th jubilee. 

Held recently at Rossendale Winery, Tai 

Tapu, the jubilee was attended by about 90 past 

and present members. Brenda established the 

Rolleston area group with the late Dorothy 

Oakley. It hosts guest speakers focusing on 

women’s health and other issues. 

At the jubilee, former mayor Kelvin Coe 

spoke of the voluntary work the district relies 

upon, undertaken by organisations such as the 

group itself, while Bowls New Zealand coach of 

the year Kevin Smith spoke about inspiration 

from his involvement in the Birmingham 

Commonwealth Games. 

Styx Mill Clothing Purpose Design Outerwear 

representative Glenda Blight was a guest 

attendee. The company manufactures safety 

vests, so have worked closely with the group on 

its signature project of supplying fluorescent 

vests for school bus pupils across the district.

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

NEWS 21 

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.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section 

Distinctive moth 

on the increase 

OVER THE last two years a 

new moth has just shown up 

in our Lincoln back yard, even 

though it was first described in 

1864. 

Francis Walker, an English 

entomologist, first described 

specimens collected in Nelson 

that are now known as 

Trachypepla conspicuella. 

These are a New Zealand 

endemic moth species that are 

observed between September 

and March on wall or fences, or 

in my case, attracted to an outside 

light. 

Moths are about 12mm long 

and darkish brown to grey in 

colour with a broad white band 

across the thorax and to a lesser 

degree across the wings. 

Tufts of scales are obvious 

behind the white band on the 

thorax. White markings are 

thought by some entomologists 


to resemble bird droppings, 

giving some protection from 

predators. 

Larvae are known to feed 

on leaf litter and detritus, 

including in “nests” of other 

insect larvae. 

So, keep an eye out for this 

distinctive moth as it seems to be 

on the increase around central 

Lincoln.

Term 4 Update 

Principal’s Message 

Term 4 has been outstanding with much to celebrate. 

This term three of our Selwyn Secondary schools came 

together to collaborate during a combined Teachers 

Only Day. The theme we chose for the day was Mana 

ōrite mō te mātauranga Māori - this kaupapa is about 

giving equal status to mātauranga Māori in schools and 

kura in New Zealand. 

We were very proud of our Kapa Haka and Pasifika 

groups who opened the cultural festival last Thursday. 

Many thanks also to Matua Jason Keno for his role in 

being the MC of the whole event. 

We received some amazing results from our Junior 

Volleyball girls who finished 3rd in the South Island at 

their recent competition and cannot wait for our 

reigning South Island Champs in Mixed 

Touch to show what they have at the 

upcoming Nationals in Rotorua. 

Preliminary design and planning 

continues on the second 

senior campus and we 

hope to be able to share 

drawings with the 

community in term 1 

2023. We would like to 

take this opportunity to 

thank our community 

for their ongoing support. 

Rachel Skelton, Principal 

Term 4 Sports Update 

Sports continues to grow and in Term 4 we have had 

some amazing achievements and successes 

• Jack Hocken recorded his first ever century this term. 

He opened the batting and managed to finish with 101 

not out at the end of the 40 overs. 

• Junior Girls Volleyball won theCanterbury Champs 

& travelled to Nelson to compete in the South Island 

Secondary Schools and placed 3rd 

Boys 1st X1 Cricket 

1st XI who will be promoted up to the Cup competition 

in 2023. This is a huge achievement for this team 

and they will be coming up against some of the big 

cricketing schools in Christchurch. Thanks must also go 

to Craig Newell, Matt Allin and Brendon Edge for their 

commitment to Rolleston College Cricket! 

Mixed Touch Supertouch Champions 

Senior Mixed Touch team coached by Matua Jase are 

the Super Touch Canterbury champions. On there 

way to the final they beat Rangiora, Lincoln High and 

Cashmere but went down to St Andrew’s College who 

they met again in the final and beat 8-5. 

It goes to show, 7am trainings twice a week pays off. 

Hopefully they maintain this momentum as they head 

to Rotorua on the 8th December for the Secondary 

Schools Touch New Zealand Tournament. 

Head Students final words 

(Emma on behalf of the team) 

When we started at Rolleston College a lot was unknown, 

and Rolleston had been labelled the “town of the future” 

so our College seemed a bit like the school of the future, 

especially since we embraced modern learning style. 

The school whakatauki: He kakano i ruia mai i rangiatea, 

the seed shall not be lost, has been with us since we 

arrived. As year 9 learners we were the seeds of the 

school with a lot to learn about ourselves and each other. 

After spending 5 years together we have made so many 

friendships and can have a great time together with 

successful events like formal, spirit week and our leavers 

party being true proof of this. Throughout these years, 

the school has helped us develop our confidence and 

knowledge, in preparation for our bright futures. In turn, 

we have helped establish the culture and operations of 

the school all while coming into our own and completing 

our school qualifications. 

I can proudly say that us playing our part in developing 

the school means that Rolleston College is no longer 

the school of the future, it is the school of now. We as the 

2022 graduates are no longer seeds of the school as we 

have grown to be the roots. 

I will miss you all very much and would just like to 

say thank you to my fellow graduates, the parents 

supporting us, and the staff who make it all possible. 

I wish us all the very best for our futures and hope for 

us to all hold pride for our Rolleston College roots as we 

continue to flourish.

Ready to Learn: School Spirit 

During term 4 staff were involved in Movember. This was 

to raise money for Men’s Health. To end Movember the 

BurgerFuel Big Bash T20 match between Staff and Junior 

cricketers took place. Thank you to Burger Fuel Rolleston 

for sponsoring the event. Well done to the staff who won. 

The staff who took part in Movember raised over $3000. 

Summerfest is our final Whānau competition for the year. 

Each whanau played Ki O Rahi against each other. Well 

done to Hōtoke for winning Summerfest. From that an All 

Stars Student team took on a staff team. Well done to the 

students who took it out. 

Ready to Achieve: Mega Selected 

This term Mega Selected has taken place. This is 

an option class where learners get to experience 

integrated courses created with teachers’ passions in 

mind. Some examples are Hunger for the Wild where 

learners get to cook outdoors. Make for a cause, where 

learners are knitting for NICU babies. Mahi Toi where 

learners are creating a gift using traditional carving 

techniques. 

Ready to Flourish: Graduation Celebration 

Monday the 5th, our Year 13 leavers took part in the 

2023 Graduation Celebration. It was a wonderful event 

that Year 13s shared with family and loved ones. We 

wish all our leavers the best on the next stages of their 

lives. We look forward to continuing our connection 

through our Alumni program. 

International Students 

At Rolleston College we recently welcomed a 

large group of Japanese students, from Kobe 

International School. The students stayed in 

host families in the local area and enjoyed being 

immersed in kiwi culture and English. They took 

part in a program that included sightseeing day 

trips in Christchurch, as well as attending lessons 

in school. The Japanese students enjoyed 

spending time with their buddies in school and 

learning about what a school day is like in New 

Zealand. During the visit it was a pleasure to 

listen to the Japanese students singing several 

songs. There was great excitement amongst our 

staff and students to make new friends during 

their stay. We were proud to farewell them with 

a rousing school haka. We are delighted that 

one of the students has chosen to return to us as 

a full time international student next year. 

Kobe International School would like to visit us 

again next November and we are pleased to 

further strengthen our relationship. Thank you 

to all the local families who hosted a Japanese 

student and made them feel welcome.

firmly focused on the FIFA 

World Cup in Qatar, and if you 

look close enough you will see 

plenty of Selwyn and Canterbury 

faces popping up. 

Several FIFA and Q22 (local 

organising committee) staff 

members and volunteers from 

Canterbury are playing key roles 

in making the world’s biggest 

sporting event run smoothly, 

while others have played a big 

part in preparing the state-ofthe-art 

venues in and around 

Doha. 

At Lusail Iconic Stadium, 

Daniel Lammers has found 

himself living the dream of 

a football tragic, working 

as a volunteer in the media 

operations team in the stadium 

where Sunday’s final will be 

played. 

The 19-year-old was initially 

assigned to the information desk 

in the media centre and has now 

also fulfilled several roles inside 

the venue, including managing 

the photographers during the 

entrance ceremonies at several 

matches. 

He feels lucky to be on the 

field with superstars like Messi, 

Ronaldo and Suarez, but says the 

volunteers are so busy that they 

have little time to soak in what 

they are seeing. 

“To keep the photographers

off the field, the volunteers hold 

a rope, but during the Argentina 

game it was like a tug-of-war. 

The volunteers could barely 

hang onto the rope, because 

the photographers were trying 

to get closer to Messi,” says 

the former Rolleston College 

student, who unfortunately did 

not manage to get a sneaky selfie 

with the maestro, because taking 

photos is strictly prohibited for 

volunteers. 

Several New Zealanders and 

their companies have been part 

of creating the infrastructure

architect 

Chris Glasson 

for the event and Leeston-based 

landscape architect Geraint 

Howells loves watching his 

handiwork at the Al Bayt 

Stadium being enjoyed by 

thousands of visitors. 

Howells was initially invited 

by fellow Cantabrian Chris 

Glasson to design an Englishstyle 

garden at the upmarket 

Al Aziziyah Boutique Hotel, 

and the success of that job led 

to an opportunity to design 

the landscaping around the 

enormous Al 

Bayt Stadium, 

which looks like 

a Bedouin 

tent. 

“We spend a 

lot of our lives 

with our work 

being seen and 

experienced 

Geraint 

without people Howells 

realising the 

creativity and work that has 

gone into it their spaces,” says 

Howells, who designed a lavish 

landscape of parks, waterfalls 

and palm trees for spectators 

at the 69,000-seat stadium that 

hosted the opening match.

working at football World Cup 

“So when we get to see people 

enjoying these spaces on an 

international stage, the biggest 

stage, and especially the opening 

match, it does fill you with pride 

and makes all the hard work 

worth it.” 

The longest serving Q22 staffer 

from Christchurch is Kevin 

Clarke, well-known in Christchurch 

football circles for his involvement 

with Halswell United, 

and in Qatar working as a media 

operations manager. 

Clarke, a veteran of many 

major sporting events, both as 

an media manager and a sports 

photographer, was recruited to 

help set up media operations at 

the Lusail Iconic Stadium. 

“I’ve really enjoyed my time 

here. It’s been very interesting 

and never boring,” the Scottishborn 

Kiwi said. 

“There’s been lots of great 

memories and also lots of tough 

hard days, like any other job.” 

The Halswell resident has been 

in Doha since May and has been 

running the media operations 

across the 32 training venues. 

“We do kind of live in a bubble, 

between the main media centre, 

the stadiums and the training 

venues, but I have managed quite 

well to get out and about with 

my camera and to have a look 

around,” Clarke said. 

“It’s been pretty much full on 

since the tournament started 

but luckily I managed to spend a 

couple of games on the sideline 

taking photos which was 

brilliant.” 

“I know it sounds cliché but we 

are all living the dream here. If 

you love football, the World Cup 

is the pinnacle. I am privileged to 

be part of this event. 

“On and off the park, we are 

surrounded by the best of the 

best and we don’t really come 

across that in New Zealand. But 

they are all just people and only a 

very, very small minority have a 

sense of entitlement and certainly 

none of the players or media I’ve 

dealt with.’’ 

Not far from Clarke’s office, 

North Canterbury’s Andrew 

Currie also works as a contractor 

in the International Broadcasting 

Centre as a FIFA Max content 

publisher, making sure all the 

footage from the stadiums ends 

up with the right outlets. 

Many more Cantabrians have 

been involved in World Cup, 

but many are reluctant to speak, 

as they or their companies are 

nervous to be associated with the 

controversies surrounding the 

Qatar hosting.

six months and like many other 

expats, has been frustrated by the 

avalanche of criticism thrown at 

the host country and FIFA. 

“Things are not as black and 

white or as simple as everyone 

has made it out to be,” says the 

Cantabrian, who is the first to admit 

that many aspects of Qatari 

society are far from perfect. 

“But you have to live here to 

better understand the context 

and not just fly in and out for a 

couple of days and pass judgment 

like many journalists have done, 

some of them haven’t even been 

to Qatar at all.”

New walking and cycling 

tracks open at Reid’s Pit 

Selwyn District has a brand new recreational reserve at Reid’s Pit, on the corner of 

Weedons and Selwyn Roads. 

The new 4.1 hectare reserve, near Rolleston, features two walking/running tracks 

and four bike-only tracks that weave through the landscaped ecological and 

recreational areas. Dog walking is also encouraged, as long as pets are leashed. 

Open Space and Facilities Projects Manager Cameron Warr says completing the 

transformation of the old council gravel pit into a stunning community facility has 

been a long but highly rewarding journey. 

“We’ve had come tricky issues to work through, including Covid holdups and last 

July’s flooding that meant we have had to make some repairs, so it’s really exciting 

to finally see this come to fruition.” 

Next year, the reserve will be connected to the Lincoln/Rolleston cycleway 

when the Selwyn, Rolleston and Lincoln Roads intersection is upgraded. Further 

community planting days are also planned for 2023, following the success of 

previous plantings. 

Work on developing the former gravel pit began about seven years ago when the 

Council consulted the community on what they wanted on the site. “A recreation 

reserve for biking and walking won hands down,” Cameron says. 

A project steering group was then formed involving community and Council 

representatives. Lincoln University has also taken an active interest in the site 

through initial biodiversity assessments and a team is monitoring the reserve to 

determine what wildlife are living there and using it, post-development. 

Changes to sport and recreation fees 

New fees and charges will be in place next year for some fitness and swimming 

classes and Council services following a review of prices. 

From 1 January 2023 the majority of fees for the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, Selwyn 

Sports Centre and group fitness classes will increase by about 10%. 

The change for most services, will be less than $1. General pool entry to the 

Selwyn Aquatic Centre will increase by .60c for an adult and by .30c for a child or 

preschooler. Casual entry for all other Council pools will remain unchanged. Casual 

entry for Group Fitness classes will increase by $1 for adults and .60 for Gold, 

Community Services and Hapai card holders. 

These fees and charges are reviewed annually and it is the first time in five years that 

many of these charges have been changed, Head of Sport and Recreation, James 

Richmond says. 

“Over the past 18 months we have faced increasing costs in running these services 

and facilities. We’ve worked really hard to keep all fee changes to a minimum while 

covering those increases and still find ourselves below many other councils 

charges nationally.” 

User groups will be notified directly of fee changes for their services.

Give your dog a merry Christmas 

As end-of-year festivities start kicking off around the district, Selwyn dog 

owners are being asked to ensure their pooches are ready for the silly 

season too. 

Council’s Animal Control Team Leader, Steve Clarke says it’s important 

owners take steps to help their dog stay safe and out of harm’s way. This 

includes checking that their pet is wearing their current Council dog tag, and 

that their home and yard are secure. 

“If you’re planning to 

go away on holiday and 

will be leaving your dog 

with friends or having 

someone dog-sit, the blue 

registration tags become 

even more important. 

If your dog gets loose, 

the tags help us identify 

them so that they can be 

returned home as soon 

as possible.” 

A thorough check of 

the yard’s fencing and 

any spots dogs might escape from will help keep them secure at home. In 

2021/22, Council responded to 448 instances of wandering dogs, which was 

the single biggest dog complaint people made to the Council. 

Steve says the Animal Control service will continue to operate around the 

clock over the Christmas/New Year period. 

“If you do come across a lost dog, or your pet goes missing, please call the 

Council. Our Animal Control team is available 24/7 and will be working 

throughout the holidays to respond to issues.” 

During the holidays, residents are urged to call the Council about dog control 

issues, rather than emailing or using Snap, Send, Solve. The Council can be 

reached on 0800 SELWYN (735 996).

Repairs almost complete on storm damaged roads 

Motorists are reminded to slow down and be considerate around roadwork sites this summer as 

efforts to fix damaged roads continue. 

Council roading teams have now completed 95 per cent of repairs after heavy rainfall in July 

caused significant damage to the local roading network. 

The work has included fixing four bridges, 220km of roads, and more than 3,315 potholes. As part 

of remedial work at Coes Ford, Council roading contractor HEB Construction has also shifted 

35,000 cubic metres of shingle. 

More road issues have been reported in urban areas since the floods, and additional workers have 

been deployed to fix them. These workers are now concentrating on road repairs on all 

arterial roads. 

Adding to the challenges from both the July 2021 and May 2022 weather events, Selwyn also had 

more than 40 trees blow down in a severe wind event in September this year. Work to remove the 

trees is ongoing. 

Drivers are urged to be mindful of roadworks throughout the district this holiday season, by 

slowing down, and obeying signs and directions. Roading teams are working hard to repair the 

network during the busy summer construction period. 

Crowds turn out for youth space opening 

There was a party as the new youth space in Rolleston town centre was officially opened 

on Sunday. 

Street art, skateboarding, hip hop and sports competitions were all on show as hundreds enjoyed 

the newly opened area on the edge of Rolleston Reserve. 

Mayor Sam Broughton officially opened the space before taking part in a netball free throw 

competition. Gaga ball and the new skate area were particularly popular, along with a nerf war and 

sumo suits that were available on the day. 

Nelson Creek Skateboards and Outsiders skate shop gave a demonstration and led a skate 

competition with skateboards and safety gear up for prizes, including three boards decorated by 

artist Canvas Artz who also hosted a street art demonstration on the day. While Swarm Studios 

and Afro Fusion brought the noise with a dance battle and workshops.

Rolleston crowned mixed touch champions 


ROLLESTON College has ended 

a successful touch campaign this 

term, finishing the year as mixed 

champions at the New Zealand 

Secondary Schools’ National 

Touch Championship in Rotorua 

over the weekend. 

The team beat Auckland’s 

Botany Downs Secondary 

College 8-6 in Sunday’s final, 

after losing to the same team the 

day before in a pool match. 

It is the best placing at the 

NZSS tournament for the school, 

after being crowned Super Touch 

Canterbury champions last 

month. Lincoln High’s mixed 

team also did well over the 

weekend, finishing fifth. 

Rolleston College captain 

Hunter Keno said his team’s 

result wasn’t expected, but to 

see the improvements from 

15th placing in 2020 was “pretty 

mean”. 

“Some of the boys are still rewatching 

the game because we’re 

still a bit shocked,” he said. 

Keno said the team’s big 

improvements came from 

morning training sessions twice 

a week, plus two weekly games 

on top of majority of the players 

competing in club touch. 

He said the team’s coaches, 

Denise and Jason Keno (who 

are his parents), were also a key 

reason for the team’s success. 

“Most players only had to pay 

$200 to go to nationals, and 

others paid nothing, because of 

my mum’s fundraising efforts,” 

Keno said. 

The year 13 student said he 

was also grateful for his father’s 

“heap of knowledge” and his 

unique dynamic with the 

players. 

The former New Zealand 

touch representative had 

also been recently crowned 

school coach of the year at the 

Canterbury Rugby Awards 

last month. 

Although Rolleston College 

will lose seven year 13 players, 

Keno believes much of the team’s 

success this year has come from 

keeping the same core group of 

players in the team for a number 

of seasons. 

“It’s pretty cool to finish high 

school with a team who have 

stayed together since year 10,” he 

said. 

Rolleston College principal 

Rachel Skelton said the school 

was “so proud” of the team’s 

success in gaining a national 

championship title in the 

school’s short history. 

“A massive thank you to 

the players and players who 

didn’t travel, for the dedication 

you have shown to the touch 

program at Rolleston College we 

can’t thank you enough, and to 

Jason and Denise Keno, thank 

you for the dedication and the 

knowledge you bring to this 

team,” Skelton said.

Andrea 

James 


FOR THE first time in its 

history the Selwyn Netball 

Centre has elected a board. 

Netball is continually 

growing in the district and 

membership within SNC 

currently sits at about 2700 

players, so the executive 

committee decided the need 

for a separate board. 

The newly-established 

board will be focused on 

the governance of the centre 

from 2023 and beyond, 

while the committee oversees 

the operations of the 

centre. 

Nominations were open 


throughout November, before 

the board was elected at 

the annual general meeting 

on Wednesday at Te Ara Tea 

in Rolleston. 

Current SNC president 

Andrea James was elected 

board chair, while committee 

treasurer Justine Caunce 

will be in the same role 


SPORT 33 

James to head new Selwyn netball board 

within the board. 

Former Mainland Netball 

coach lead Deb Johnson was 

elected secretary, with Dawn 

Dalley, Nadia Scott and Lyn 

Miles filling the three other 

positions on the board. 

The main priorities of the 

board will be to ensure a 

strategy focus is implemented, 

creating policies aligning 

with Netball New Zealand, 

maintaining financial sustainability 

and that laws are 

adhered to. 

James said the group 

elected all have “excellent 

knowlege, skills and passion 

for both governance and 

netball.” 

DESERVED: Ellesmere rugby president Stuart Boon (right) 

was awarded his life membership to the sub-union by Gavin 

Eastwick last week. Above – Boon bursts through a tackle 

while playing for Leeston against Southbridge in 1985. 

Life membership for Ellesmere stalwart 


LONG-SERVING Ellesmere 

and Canterbury Country rugby 

stalwart Stuart Boon has been 

awarded a life membership at 

Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union’s 

annual meeting last week. 

Boon is the current 

president of both Ellesmere 

and Canterbury Country Sub 

Unions, and has also been a 

board member of the Canterbury 

Rugby Union since 2011. 

He started playing rugby 

around the age of 10, and had 

stints playing for Leeston and 

Dunsandel. 

Boon had a successful 

playing career as a back, in a 

handful of positions such as 

fullback and centre. He featured 

in representative teams for 

Ellesmere, Canterbury Country 

and Canterbury B. 

Boon also coached a few of 

his children’s teams “as you do”, 

but mainly featured in a range 

of administrative roles for both 

Dunsandel and Ellesmere rugby 

after he stopped playing. 

He was also president of 

Dunsandel, where he “started 

and ended” as a player, before 

becoming a life member at the 

club in 2000. 

He said being awarded a life 

membership on Wednesday 

came as “a bit of a shock” but 

admitted Ellesmere rugby has 

been a massive part of his life. 

“I’ve probably got a couple 

years left (as president),” he said. 

“I’ve got to let somebody else 

have a go at some point.” 

Fellow Ellesmere rugby 

life member Gavin Eastwick 

presented Boon with his award. 

He said Boon potentially held 

the title of most points in a single 

game for an Ellesmere team, 

with 41 – when tries were only 

worth four points as well. 

Eastwick said many people can 

remember the “huge booming 

punts” that came from Boon’s 

boot, which allegedly saved his 

team on a number of occasions. 

He said Boon is “an 

extremely worthy recipient of 

life membership” through his 

significant contributions to the 

sport in the district. 

Wednesday’s meeting also saw 

Prebbleton’s Derek Todd and 

Tim Murgatroyd step down 

from the board, while West 

Melton president Gavin 

Summerfield was appointed for 

the first time.

GARDENING 37 

Eggplant a taste of the Mediterranean 

EGGPLANT IS a tropical 

perennial that is very easy 

to grow. 

It is an essential ingredient 

in Mediterranean 

moussaka and French 

ratatouille, and great in 

stews, or simply sliced, 

sprinkled with salt and 

barbecued. 

Look in your vegetable 

garden for a well-drained 

and sunny position to 

grow your eggplant, otherwise 

known as aubergine. 

If you planted capsicum 

and cucumbers recently, 

try popping your eggplant 

seedlings next to them. 

They’re good companion 

plants, as they all like the 

same conditions. 

They also like to hang 

their fruit, so grow well 

planted in a pot or raised 

garden bed. 

Grab some seedlings 

and simply plant around 

20cm apart. If you don’t 

have a suitable raised bed 

or tub, add some straw 

or newspaper around the 

base of the plants to stop 

the fruit from sitting on 

damp soil and rotting. 

To help your seedlings 

establish well, making 

mini glasshouses out of 

old milk bottles. 

Cut the bottom off a

have grown alongside. 

recycled and clean milk 

bottle. Put the top over the 

plant but remove the lid 

to allow for a bit of wind 

circulation. Once they get 

growing you can remove 

the milk bottles. 

The key with eggplants 

is not over watering. They 

like it quite dry and sunny 

and will rot if they get 

too much water. If you do 

water them, make sure you 

avoid overhead watering. 

In around February, 

your fruit should be ready 

to harvest. For a tasty addition 

to your late summer 

barbecues, simply slice the 

fruit into about six to eight 

pieces (around 1cm thick 

each), brush with olive oil 

on both sides and barbecue. 

Once cooked, add 

some rock salt for taste 

and serve as a side. 

Lastly, although eggplant 

is technically a perennial 

(a plant that dies down 

and pops up again for 

many growing seasons), 

in New Zealand it tends 

to behave like an annual 

because of our temperate 

climate, which means once 

you’ve harvested all your 

fruit simply remove the 

plants and replant next 

year.

Forget range anxiety with MG ZS 

IF EVER THERE was an 

indication New Zealand is 

embracing electric vehicles, it 

would be a conversation I had 

with a member of the sales team 

at Christchurch’s MG dealership. 

I was picking up an MG ZS 

electric vehicle and was told he 

drove from Christchurch to Greymouth 

and return in a similar 

model and found there were six 

designated EV charging stations 

between the two destinations. 

Not only does that alleviate a 

lot of range anxiety, but it’s good 

to know if there is one station not 

functioning, or it is occupied, you 

don’t have to travel far to get to 

the next point. Of course, all of 

that can be mapped and plotted 

on charge.net.nz 

The MG ZS is completely electric, 

there’s no internal combustion 

engine. If you like the idea of 

a hybrid, MG also has a petrol/ 

electric model - the HS. I evaluated 

it in these columns in October. 

That aside, the ZS is all new for 

2022, it differs in looks from the 

previous version with a completely 

blanked off grille area and 

several other cosmetic changes. 

There are also new suspension 

components and technical 

changes that provide greater 

distance between charges and add 

a higher level of specification and 

fitment. 

There are two ZS models – Excite 

and Essence - the evaluation 

car was the latter and over and 

above the Excite it gets synthetic 

leather trim (heated front seats 

with electric driver’s seat adjustment), 

panoramic sunroof, and 

roof rails amongst a few other 

minor details. 

These are on top of what would 

ordinarily be seen as a fairly 

healthy specification level in the 

first instance. There is a lot of 

electronic wizardry in the car, yet 

the minimalist cockpit environment 

disguises a wealth of depth 

beneath the digital displays. I 

particularly like the dial gear 

selector; well. given there is only 

two real drive modes – forward 

and reverse – there’s no need for 

a traditional gear selector to be 

included. 

There’s a lot of kit in the car, 

and if you are thinking there will 

be considerable cost involved, 

think again. The ZS Excite comes 

in at $49,990, the Essence adds 

an extra $4k. What’s more, these 

are driveway prices, on road costs 

are included and you will also get 

the entire $8625 NZ Government 

Clean Car programme rebate 

These figures stack up, not only 

are you getting a state-of-the-art 

electric vehicle, you aren’t going 

to break the bank doing so. 

I guess that’s just one of the 

reasons why MG is doing well in 

the Kiwi market, it’s affordable, 

great value and in today’s age 

where EVs are in demand, the ZS 

COMPACT: The MG ZS is squat but it is a genuine family 

wagon. 

MG ZS EV: Blanked off grille signifies a major facelift. 

has been a popular model, and it 

will continue to be that way especially 

so now that it’s been given 

an upgrade and major facelift for 

2022/23. 

At the business end sits an 

electro-synchronous motor that is 

coupled to a single-speed gearing 

system. Drive is transmitted to 

the front wheels only. MG rate 

the power outputs at 130kW and 

280Nm, if you add in both of 

these figures are available from 

standstill right through the power 

range, then there is a substantial 

amount of energy that will satisfy 

those who like to have a strong 

feel of acceleration (0-100km/h in 

8.2sec) and for those who prefer 

to get the travelling distance and 

use the throttle moderately. 

To do that there’s an eco mode 

that dulls throttle response 

markedly and, of course, there 

are also normal and sport drive 

modes. 

According to MG, the ZS 

EV will make 320km between 

charges. To reach 80 per cent 

from zero charge will take 54min 

at a designated charge port, or 

five to eight hours to fill the batteries 

to capacity from domestic 

supply. As is my norm, I just got 

into the habit of plugging back 

in every time I returned home, 

the domestic cable at 5m was just 

long enough to enable charging 

without being difficult in my 

unique environment. 

On the move the ZS is almost 

• Price – MG ZS EV, $53,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4323mm; width, 1809mm; 

height, 1649mm 

• Configuration – Electrosynchronous 

motor, 

front-wheel-drive, 130kW, 

280Nm, one-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.2sec 

silent; sure, there are extraneous 

noises such as an electronic 

whine and wind gushes around 

the mirrors but they are very minor, 

there is an uncanny silence 

associated with electric vehicles 

and that will appeal to many 

motorists. 

At highway speed the ZS whips 

through the air without fuss, and 

it dispenses the kilometres with 

ease. I headed west towards my 

usual highway loops and was 

completely comfortable with the 

evaluation car. It also feels quite 

tidy in a corner. 

Even with the suspension 

revisions the mechanical components 

are quite simplistic. There’s 

a torsion beam linking the two 

rear wheels, and while that would 

ordinarily limit wheel movement 

in each corner, the spring and 

damper rates have compliance so 

that maximum suspension travel 

is on offer when the ruts and 

bumps are hit. 

Such are the soft settings the 

occupants are treated to a glorious 

ride, there’s much absorbency 

through the underpinnings while 

seat construction and spacious 

design means huge on board 

comfort. 

Elsewhere the ZS is built with 

traditional sport utility vehicle values. 

At 4.5m it isn’t a big car but it 

makes good use of its proportions. 

There’s also decent cargo carrying 

ability, the load section is deep, I 

used the ZS to transport the two 

cricket gear bags and other associated 

kit to the two Saturday junior 

and youth games that I oversee. 

There was room for much more 

and, what’s more, it has an easy 

load height. 

Part of the conversation when I 

picked up the ZS also surrounded 

the direction MG were travelling 

(no pun intended) in terms of 

research and development. The 

company is producing vehicles 

with far greater range than ever 

before, and those models will 

eventually land in New Zealand. 

With the nationwide charging 

infrastructure constantly rolling 

out in greater numbers, it won’t 

be long before those really long 

journeys just become second 

nature. 

That has to be a good thing 

safety-wise as well, because it 

forces the occupants to stop 

driving from time to time, 

have a coffee and refresh while 

those battery packs are being 

replenished.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Wow with wallpaper! 

Wallpaper is a popular trend and is the 

perfect chance to be bold with your design 

choices, whether renovating or completing 

a new build. With digital printing processes 

and the ability to use textural elements, 

wallpaper can let your creative side loose, 

achieving a stunning visual and textural 

effect. 

Vivid colours with intricate patterns and 

designs focusing on nature and sustainability 

are on-trend. These nature inspired-designs 

follow the idea of Biophilia, meaning “Love 

of Nature”. Of course, this has produced an 

enormous range of botanical, flora, fauna, 

and jungle prints leading to blue and green 

colours being prominent in wallpaper colour 

palettes. These prints are intended to bring a 

sense of tranquillity and well-being. 

While wallpaper can affect the mood of 

your room, it can also help with low light 

levels and imperfect walls. For example, 

wallpaper with a sheen or a metallic or 

iridescent design will reflect light around 

the room. For those uneven walls, textured 

papers and Anaglyptas are the answer, 

while heavily patterned wallpapers can 

deflect attention away from flaws. Textured 

wallpaper can include silk or even jute 

wallpapers woven into sheets. 

Some wallpaper designs provide a more 

abstract and stylised flair by combining 

botanical images and contemporary angular 

geometric shapes. Other popular choices are 

Chinoiserie wallpaper inspired by Chinese 

and Japanese art or the Chateaux style 

inspired by stately British homes. However, 

an ombre effect or watercolour-style 

wallpaper will provide a softer look. 

Nowadays, it is a reasonably 

straightforward process if you’re the DIY 

type who doesn’t want a professional to hang 

the wallpaper. With paste-the-wall products, 

the paste is applied directly to the wall or 

prepasted wallpaper is given a quick soak for 

the paste to be activated. However, unpasted 

wallpapers will require time for the paste to 

soak in before hanging. Also, ensuring the 

surface is well-prepared before hanging any 

wallpaper is essential and will help to give 

your wall a great look. 

If you think wallpapering a whole wall 

may not be for you, perhaps installing a 

feature wall with a mural art piece is an 

option. The wallpaper colour, pattern and 

texture are your choices, and whatever your 

decision, have fun with your wallpaper 

selection, as your home should be a place 

you feel comfortable.

“He was a noyed about something

The burnout wasn’t an antipolice

A DARFIELD farmer has 

spoken of watching a man leap into 

the flooded Hawkins River to try and 

save himself after a helicopter winch 

rescue operation failed. 

Rod May had taken his tractor to 

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and 

reach the middle-aged man who had 

been clinging to the branches of a tree 

in the rising waters on Sunday night. 

The man had driven into the 

flooded river, escaped from his car 

and ca led emergency services from 

his ce lphone which he managed to 

keep with him. 

Ultimately, a second helicopter 

winch operation plucked the man 

to safety after he was swept downstream. 

It was a happy ending to the 

ordeal which had lasted more than 

three hours. The rescue was among 

several in Canterbury on Sunday in 

flooded rivers. 

May said he and his family had just 

had dinner when a neighbour alerted 

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw 

the floodwaters were too high for the 

tractor, however, he used its lights for 

i luminating the site where the man 

was. • Turn to page 5

THE OWNER of the

The meeting involved one 

of the teens, a 13-year-old, 

his family, Oranga Tamariki, 

police and four other victims, 

including another dairy 

owner. 

Facilitated by Oranga 

Tamariki, youth justice family 

group conferences are 

intended to help youth take 

responsibility and leave them 

with a plan for the future. 

While the victims could 

speak a the meeting, Sangeet

already been made as to what 

would happen with the youth.

IMPORTANT TO

THE ANSWER 

IS YES! 

• By Ba ry Clarke 

A BAR patron who won $1200 

on the pokies may have been 

targeted by thieves moments after 

she co lected the money. 

A group of men who were in 

the bar a the same time are the 

focus of police inquiries. It is 

believed they watched her being 

paid, and then quickly swooped. 

The incident happened at The 

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln 

two weeks ago. 

After she was paid out a the 

bar, the men who had been 

si ting nearby went over and 

congratulated her. While she was 

distracted the money disappeared 

from her handbag. She only 

realised it was gone after she left 

the hotel. 

Police have taken CCTV 

security camera footage from the 

hotel which shows the men going 

over to the woman and mobbing 

her in a congratulatory way. The 

footage also captures a hand from 

one of the men going towards the 

Police say they may have 

identified one of the group but 

aren’t saying anymore about 

the incident. The Selwyn Times 

understands the men are from 

the Amberley area.

WHY USE A NEWSPAPER 

TO ADVERTISE? 

• Offer targeted 

advertising through 

regular weekly inserts, 

or monthly sections, or 

special promotions 

• Offers flexibility and 

frequency - businesses 

can choose the size 

and location of the ad 

as well as when and how often the ad 

will appear 

• Offer professional design services 

- businesses can work with a designer to get 

the design and style they want at no extra cost 

• Provide affordability - generally costs 

less than television, radio, and direct mail 

advertising and can be designed to suit 

any budget 

• Reach more readers - newspapers sit around 

from week to week and readers are more likely 

to come back to a newspaper to find and save 

information 

• Capture more attention - newspaper readers 

spend a longer period of time reading a 

newspaper whereas research indicates, “the 

average attention span of an Internet user is 

eight seconds” 

• Offer integrated services - such as online 

advertising on news sites, professional 

photography, and videography, and parallel 

advertising in other publications. 

You benefit and save with 

a monthly plan.

SPRING IS a time when it’s 

desirable to be working is the 

garden. 

However, there are hidden 

dangers and one of those is 

developing legionnaires’ disease. 

Here are some guidelines to 

avoid that happening 

•Minimise the amount of dust 

present when working in the 

garden. 

• Water gardens and indoor 

plants using a gentle spray. 

• Read the warning label on 

bagged composts or po ting mix. 

• Wear gloves. 

• Wear a mask so that any dust 

is filtered out before you can 

breathe it in. 

• Dampen po ting mixes before 

• Open bags of soil products 

slowly, away from the face. 

• Make sure the working area 

(for example, the gla shouse or 

po ting shed) is we l ventilated. 

• See a doctor if you develop a 

flu-like i lne s that seems to be 

worsening. 

• Wash hands thoroughly 

after gardening or handling soil 

products. 

These are simple, easy and 

natural steps that a l gardeners 

can take to reduce risk while 

continuing to enjoy their garden.

Prebbleton 19 Brahman Close 

When location means everything! 

It's fair to say that properties in the sought-after Stonebridge subdivision, in the heart of Prebbleton, seldom reach 

the market. The convenient location, the peaceful nature, and the quality of the surrounding homes ensure residents 

are loath to leave, holding tight to their properties and the endearing features of the area. This large family home 

astutely blends a commanding presence with warmth and charm. Inside, this well-configured layout boasts five goodsized 

bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite off the master, and an office. Both bathrooms have been 

renovated and are tiled throughout with a standalone bath in the family bathroom. The large kitchen and the openplan 

dining/living areas are complemented by a separate formal lounge, offering flexibility for families of all shapes 

and sizes. The home is sunny and warm, with an abundance of natural light bathing the communal areas, and a bevy 

of intelligent heating solutions (including a gas fireplace, a heat transfer system, a heatpump, underfloor heating in 

the tiled areas and double glazing throughout) promising year-round comfort. Situated on a back section and framed 

by mature trees and manicured gardens, the 2300+m2 grounds are the perfect spot to unwind with family and 

friends, enjoying privacy and the undeniably peaceful environs of this highly desirable part of the village.

contemporary property has been thoughtfully planned to make the most of the available space. Three generously 

proportioned bedrooms are complemented by two lovely bathrooms (including a fully tiled ensuite off the master) and a fully

ceiling, a dining area and medial room, provides plenty of versatility. The kitchen is both stylish and highly functional; double 

glazing and a ducted heatpump conspire to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, and ranch sliders provide seamless access 

outside. The easy-care section was designed to minimise upkeep and maximise leisure time, with a private, sun-soaked 

outdoor deck providing the perfect spot to unwind with family and friends. The icing on the cake is the double, internal access, 

carpeted garage. The location is as enticing as the home itself, with the wealth of amenities and parks close by - helping to 

protect and enhance your investment.
