Finding
in favour
of lifestyle
block
owners
• By Susan Sandys
TWO LIFESTYLE block owners
fighting to save their land from
being rezoned to residential are
happy a hearing commissioner
has recommended in their favour.
John Sheaf and
neighbour Tom
Fraser fear their
rural paradise on
the outskirts of
Prebbleton will be
turned into dense
housing as another
neighbour pursues
a 527-section
subdivision.
John
Sheaf
However, that neighbour, Ryan
Geddes, said it will be a “missed
opportunity” if ultimately the
proposed subdivision, named
Birchs Village, does not go ahead.
Commissioner Paul Thomas
last week issued his recommendation
to the district council for it
to decline the rezoning application
from Geddes’ company,
Birchs Village Ltd, named Plan
Change 79.
The PC79 area is 37ha on Birchs
Rd, opposite the new Kakaha Park.

Rolleston station
staffing: Police
delay releasing
documents
• By Daniel Alvey
POLICE CHIEFS have delayed
releasing documents relating to
the Rolleston police station 24/7
model.
The Selwyn Times sought
reports, business plans, surveys
and studies undertaken by
police or done for police in an
Official Information Act request
on May 23.
Government departments
have 20 working days to respond
to an OIA request or exercise an
extension.
Police had until June 21 to
respond. At the end of the deadline
day they said they would
be asking for an extension,
citing “consultations necessary”
to make a decision on how to
respond to the request could not
be made within the original 20
days.
Following the extension, police
had until July 19 to respond,
but they missed the deadline.
When asked by the Selwyn
Times why they had not responded,
police said they were
still consulting and were “unable
to provide a date for our (police)
response.”
The trial of the 24/7 model
started on May 1 and was designed
to bring more coverage
for the whole district based
from Rolleston, Selwyn’s central
police station. That would be
achieved using public safety
teams consisting of a sergeant
and four constables.
But it came at the expense of
local station officers. To make up
the numbers, two officers from

The New Zealand Police Association,

president Chris
Cahill said the
association
had asked for

case to gain an
Chris Cahill
understanding
of why the 24/7
model was taken on, including
“the motivations, the benefits”
and how they believe the other
areas like Lincoln and Leeston
will be managed.
Cahill said Canterbury district
commander Superintendent
Tony Hill, Canterbury rural area
commander Inspector Peter
Cooper, and Selwyn police chief
Senior Sergeant Rachel Walker,
are likely the people involved in
consultation.
“Our understanding is that it
is a trial to December and then
it stops, then it has to be fully
assessed,” Cahill said.
He said one of the issues is police
are trying to do more with
not enough staff.
In May, Walker would not answer
specific questions around
staffing levels, both in rural
stations and in the public safety
teams based at Rolleston.
The Selwyn Times has
complained to the Ombudsman
about the delay in the police
response.

In Brief
PLAN CHANGE ON HOLD
A plan change for a retirement
village in West Melton is on hold
while the district council finalises
its District Plan. Marama Te Wai
Ltd lodged a private plan change
request (PC77) in December 2020
to build 218 retirement village
units on the western side of West
Melton. District council head of
strategy and policy Robert Love
said the company also made
a submission on the proposed
District Plan, requesting the land
be rezoned through that process.
The proposed District Plan is
expected to become operative in
the coming months, and if the
land is rezoned a plan change
would not be required.
FUSE BOX FIRE
A fuse box was the cause of a
fire at 1am on Monday at Downs
Rd, Hororata. Fire crews from
Hororata and Colgate responded.
Hororata chief fire officer Bruce
Sayer said the fire was mostly
out on arrival and damage to the
house was minimal.

Highly productive land policy a factor
in commissioner’s decision
• Turn to page 4
It encompasses Geddes’
lifestyle block and seven
surrounding lifestyle blocks.
Thomas’ reasons for his
recommendation included the
location did not achieve compact
urban form for Prebbleton, and
the plan change did not give
effect to the National Policy
Statement for Highly Productive
Land.
The land is on mostly class
1 and 2 soils, which have been
given enhanced protection in the
new legislation.
The recommendation is opposite
that given last year by
hearing Commissioner David
Caldwell for the planned Lincoln
South (Plan Change 69) development,
where people objecting to
it cited loss of productive land.
Residents’ group Lincoln Voice
is fighting the district council’s
PC69 decision in the Environment
Court.
The decision was made on June
8 last year, four months before
the National Policy Statement for
Highly Productive Land came
into effect.
Lincoln Voice was one of the
37 submitters to PC79.
Spokesperson Denise Carrick
said it was “great news” Thomas
had “listened” to opposing submitters,
and recommended PC79
be declined.
Thomas said in addition, PC79
did not offer enough development
capacity to meet criteria of
the National Policy Statement
on Urban Development, and was
not required to meet residential
capacity demand in the life of
the Operative Selwyn District
Plan. This demand was “more
than satisfied” by two other
recent plan changes in the area,
being Plan Change 68 and Plan
Change 72.
PC68 is for 820 sections on
Trents Rd, while PC72 is for
295 sections on the south side
of Trices Rd and eastern side of
Birchs Rd.
Sheaf said he was “thrilled to
bits” by the recommendation,
while Fraser echoed his sentiments,
saying he “very much so”
felt the same.
“It’s quite bizarre you can
apply for a plan change over
somebody’s land without their
permission,” Fraser said.
While Sheaf and Fraser opposed
PC79 and submitted
against it, the remaining five
landowners in the plan change
area supported it.
Both Sheaf and Fraser are now
waiting for another hearing decision,
as Birchs Village Ltd has
also been seeking the rezoning
for Birchs Village through the
Proposed District Plan hearing
process.
The district council will be releasing
its Proposed District Plan
decisions by August 20.
Meanwhile, Geddes said it
was too early to say whether he
would appeal the decision of the
district council if it decided to
adopt the commissioner’s recommendation
and decline the plan
change.
Geddes has been working
on the project with Ngai Tahu
Properties, which would become
the future developer of Birchs
Village.
“We will keep all our options
open until we know what the decision
of the district plan process
is,” Geddes said.
Geddes made
no apologies for
including the
Sheafs and Frasers
in his company’s
plan change application,
saying his
neighbours would
not be forced to
develop their land
Ryan
Geddes
as part of the subdivision if they
did not want to.
He also made no apologies for
choosing fertile agricultural soils
for the proposed subdivision. He
believed the new highly productive
land legislation was aimed
at protecting farms, rather than
lifestyle blocks, many of which
did not have irrigation consents.
He said he would be
disappointed if the subdivision
was ultimately not able to go
ahead, particularly considering
it was across the road from the
“great asset to Selwyn”, Kakaha
Park.
“I just think it is a huge missed
opportunity to have an amazing
development with a proven
developer, being Ngai Tahu,
to deliver something that was
pretty unique beside the park,”
Geddes said.

Lifestyle block owners want
refund for rates increase
• By Susan Sandys
EIGHT PREBBLETON lifestyle
block owners had skyrocketing
rates when their land was
included as part of the proposed
PC79.
Now some plan to seek a refund
from the district council if
the local body adopts the PC79
hearing Commissioner’s recommendation
and declines the plan
change.
The rates of the landholders
increased following the value
of their land rising sharply in
the September 1, 2021 Quotable
Value three-yearly revaluations
for Selwyn district, due to being
in the PC79 area.
For example, the largest property’s
land value climbed from
$1.2 million to $9.05m, anotherfrom
$580,000 to $3.14 million,
and another from $275,000 to
$700,000.
Quotable Value said at the
time it must look at proposed
plan changes and how the market
is responding to those.
Tom Fraser said his rates for
the last rating year had been 53
per cent higher than the previous
year, while John Sheaf said
his had been 22 per cent higher.
Fraser said he would be asking
the district council to refund
the thousands of dollars extra
he had paid in rates, as well as
interest.
“It (rates refund) is not a massive
sum, it’s more the principle
of the thing,” he said.
Sheaf said he believed the
district council should offer a
refund on the higher rates paid.
Another of the PC79 landowners,
who supports the plan
change and did not want to be
named, said he also believed the
district council should refund
the excess rates if the plan
change did not go ahead.
“We will be trying to do
that collectively with the
other land owners. We will
definitely be talking about
the rates, because we have
been rated now as though
it’s rezoned land.”

answer a question from the

district council would refund
the landowners.
He said the district
council would not be

land until a decision on

made and notified.

No support
for extending
earthquake
building fixes
• By Daniel Alvey
THE DISTRICT council won’t
support a bid to have more time
allocated to fix earthquake-prone
buildings.
It was the only one of 17 Local
Government New Zealand remits
the district council did not support.
The remits were submitted
by councils to help provide direction
for LGNZ policy.
In last week’s council meeting,
councillors voted against the
remit from Manawatū District
Council: “That LGNZ investigate
and report to members on ways
to help councils and communities
that are struggling with the timeframes
in the earthquake prone
building sections of the Building
Act and council policies pertaining
to priority thoroughfares.”
Said Mayor Sam Broughton:
“What we have seen is that
through the Canterbury earthquakes
buildings kill people.
“Delays in some of these
timeframes might be helpful for a
council, but I’m not sure they’d be
great for a community.”
LGNZ will vote on the remits
today at its annual meeting in
Christchurch.

Dan Carter’s boots
to go back on sale
• By Barry Clarke
A PAIR of Dan Carter’s limited
edition Adidas boots snapped up
at a charity auction for $8500 will
go back on sale again.
The boots were part of a
Pasifika Day fundraiser at the
Southbridge Rugby Club, with
proceeds going to Carter’s DC10
Fund, which is supported by
UNICEF and raises money to deliver
disaster-resilient water and
sanitation projects in the Pacific.
Southbridge has a strong Pacific
influence in the club.
Nairn Electrical co-owner
Steve West, who made the successful
bid for the boots, intends
selling or putting the boots up for
auction with the proceeds going
to the DC10 Fund.
“We couldn’t be happier that
we are helping to support
this worthy cause,” he
said.
The Leeston and
Rangiora based
company is a longtime
sponsor of
Southbridge rugby

the Selwyn district

Carter’s limited
edition boots are
highly sought after. They have his

his test appearances (112) and his
international record haul of 1598

The DC10 Fund was launched

Innovative project
• By Daniel Alvey
A NEW WAY of farming could
find its home on the banks of
the Rakaia River.
North Rakaia Ltd wants to put
a solar farm and agricultural
innovation campus called
Kilvarock Solar Village on
124 hectares of land on North
Rakaia and South Two Chain
Rds.
It was originally proposed to
have 900 residential units, 200
of which would be contained
in 33 three-storey apartment
buildings, plus educational
facilities, a supermarket, and
agriculture production for
animals and plants, all powered
by an on-site solar farm.
Project manager James
Lunday said the company has
now parked the housing to
focus on the
solar farm and
innovation hub.
“There’s a
whole range of
things we are
going to do,
the one thing
we’re not doing
is housing,” he
said.
James
Lunday
Lunday said it is too difficult
under current regulations to set
up a new township.
He said stage one will be
getting consent for the solar
farm.
“We’re expecting a consent by
Christmas and we’re expecting
to be building next year.”
Lunday said the solar farm
has an expected output of 400
megawatts, which will power
the innovation hub as well
as provide power back to the
national grid.
Once the solar is built they will
then focus on the innovation
campus and agriculture
production.
It will likely include vertical
greenhouses, microalgae farms,
biotech facilities and a sheep
milk powder factory.

We are looking for people with functional dyspepsia (indigestion) to
participate in a research study investigating the digestive health effects
of consuming mānuka honey.
Symptoms of functional dyspepsia include:
• pain or burning in the stomach, bloating, excessive belching (burping)
or nausea after meals
• an early feeling of fullness when eating
• pain in the stomach that may sometimes occur unrelated to meals or
may be relieved by eating.
After a two-week lead-in period, we will provide you with mānuka honey
or a honey-like product to eat before breakfast and dinner every day for
six-weeks. Two weeks later we will again ask you about your functional
dyspepsia symptoms.
The time commitment for this study will be about 10 hours and you will
attend six clinic visits in total. You will receive up to $220 in supermarket
vouchers in recognition of the actual or reasonable costs associated with
participating in this study (e.g., parking and/or travel costs).

focuses on solar farm
Lunday said the innovation
campus is about creating value
out of rural products.
In March, a vertical farm in
Hamilton received $3.5 million
funding from the Ministry of
Primary Industries.
“One hectare of greenhouse
can produce as many vegetables
as a 300-hectare farm with
70 per cent reduction in water
and fertilisers,” Lunday said.
He said buildings would not
be on productive land, and
their addition would greatly
improve the land’s productivity
output.
Between the solar panel
rows, they are looking to either
have crops or animals grazing.
“Grass grows better under
solar because you use water for
irrigation because it provides
some shade.”
Environment Minsiter
David Parker did not refer the
original project, including the
housing, to the Environmental
Protection Authority as part
of the Covid-19 Recovery (Fasttrack
Consenting) Act 2020,
which came to an end in July.
Instead, he referred the project
to the district council.
On the ministry’s website,
it said the reasons for the
decision were: “The Minister
for the Environment considers
it is more appropriate for the
project to go through standard
consenting processes under
the Resource Management Act
1991.
“The minister was also not
satisfied that the project will
help to achieve the purpose of
the FTCA and therefore it does
not meet the referral criteria in
section 18 of the FTCA.”
Lunday said they were
prepared for it not to make
fast-track and have begun
looking at options with the
district council.
As part of the fast-track
process, the district council
was asked to provide feedback
on the project.
“The

did not make fast-track, it
would not affect any future
applications to the district
council.

Motorcycles, war machines
• By Daniel Alvey
WHEN DEAN Graham got
the opportunity to buy a part of
history from his favourite movie
he couldn’t turn it down.
Graham, 57, bought two
Harley Davidson’s used in the
1969 cult classic film Easy Rider
off their owner near Auckland
for $740,000 about four years
ago. They now sit inside his 420
sq m man cave in Lincoln.
“He could have asked for
double and probably would have
paid because it is my favourite
movie,” Graham said.
Easy Rider, staring Peter Fonda
and Dennis Hopper, is about
two bikers who travel through
the United States southwest
and encounter the rise of the
hippie movement, drug use, and
communal living.
“I remember the first time dad
sat me down and watched it.”
His love for motorcycles
came from his dad, the late
Mainfreight co-founder Neil
Graham who died aged 71 in
2015.
“Dad was into motorbikes and
that was how mum met him in
town on a bike.”
At the time, Neil was riding
a bike from British motorcycle
manufacturer A. J. Stevens & Co.
“When dad had his AJS or
whatever out, I’d go on the back
with him and I just remember
the smell of him and his hair and
the smell and sound of the bike
and it just hooked me.”
The Easy Rider motorcycles
are one of the main features in
his man cave, which is home to
some of the 214 bikes and 29
other vehicles he owns. The man
cave is one many people could
only dream of owning. Graham
describes it as “madness”.
He has collected memorabilia,
military equipment and other
vehicles all his life and said “it’s
good to put it all under one roof”.
Since 2020, Graham and
his partner Liana Bush – the
daughter of well-known
Christchurch cyclist Ross Bush
who died in the February 22,
2011, earthquake when the
facade of a bookstore fell onto
his car while he was eating lunch
on Riccarton Rd – have been
curating the collection.
They make sure everything
has a place inside the newly-built
man cave, specifically designed
for Graham’s displays.
Bush said: “Initially (it)
HANG OUT: Dean Graham
and partner Liana Bush in

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN
started out as wanting an area
to put Dean’s motorbikes and
somewhere for him to have like
his own kind of space adjacent
to the family home. So it started
off as a small sort of project
and went on to be the 420 sq m
build.”
The man cave now dwarfs the
family home.
Said Graham: “It’s been fun.
It’s been long. It’s been two-anda-half,
nearly three years.”
The cave is almost finished
and, when it is, the plan is to
take groups through to see the
collection.
“I think it’s great, you know,
and when they come, all I say to
them is it’s simple if you want
to come and see it, there will be
a bucket at the door. Gold coin
donation, and then we’ll donate
it to charity.”
Graham has become known
for his philanthropy, which
included buying a full-size
cardboard Lamborghini in 2021
for $10,420 which was donated to
Starship Children’s Hospital.
COLLECTION: Dean Graham spent for $740,000 on two Harley Davidson’s from the film Easy Rider starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, while this
Mil 34C Hermit light helicopter, which once belonged to the Nigerian Air Force, now sits in his backyard.

– and the ultimate man cave
He sold the cardboard replica
for $2025 and donated the
money to Mike King’s mental
health charity I Am Hope.
Graham often pays for people’s
groceries at the supermarket
checkout when he sees the need.
“It’s not about them going oh
look, thank you to me. It’s just
making them think, hey, we’re
all on the planet, we’ve all got
different channels we’re going
down, but we’re all here and we
all care.”
Outside the man cave, a number
of incredible items can also
be found in his backyard.
He owns a flying 3/4 replica
P51 Mustang single-seat
fighter plane built in Loburn.
It’s mounted on
a steel post
and has been
painted
blue and
red to
look
like
actor Tom
Cruise’s
P51. Inside
the
cockpit,
there is a
mannequin
dressed
like Cruise’s
character
Pete Mitchell,
known as ‘Maverick’, from the
film Top Gun.
Also on his lawn is a Land
Rover on a stump and a Mil
34C Hermit light helicopter
once used by the Nigerian Air
Force. Graham also has a High
Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled
Vehicle, known as a Humvee,
which was used by the United
States Army during the
Iraq War.
ON SHOW: Motorcycles and film props, including a life-sized Deadpool
mannequin from the Marvel movie, adorn Dean Graham’s man cave, while
a former US Army Humvee and a replica Mustang fighter plane, similar to
the one owned by Tom Cruise, are on display in the backyard.
As you enter his man cave
there is a workshop for his bikes,
a helmet room, and a wall full of
old skateboards, many of which
were Graham’s when he was
growing up.
Moving through the cave, it
becomes much more homely –
with a bar, sunken lounge and a
Volkswagen Kombi van, which
has been converted into a DJ
booth.
On either side of the lounge
area, there are display cases
with more motorcycles, one
of which is a bike designed
by New Zealand freestyle motocross
rider Levi Sherwood.
It was made for a specific
trick – a double forward flip –
and was the first bike Sherwood
ever built.
Said Graham: “The fuel tank
is only big enough for a specific
run time.”
Going through the rest of
the cave there are a number of
cars, including a rare replica
1965 Shelby Daytona American
sports-coupé and a Holden A9X
Torana.
He also has many motorcycles
mounted on the wall, some of
which he has raced or used on
the farm.
“I’m glad I kept them all
because they are important to
me.”
Graham said he can look at
them and remember his past.
“Some people have photo
albums I just keep the bikes
and know what each one
means.
“This cave is just
a whole lot of
photographs
of my life and
how much fun
I’ve had and
it’s only just
begun.”

Rugby club storage
could set precedent
• By Daniel Alvey
A PRECEDENT may have
been set for sports club storage
facilities at the district’s parks.
Rolleston Rugby Club was
granted a variation in its lease
at Foster Park
to build a 6m x
7m shed behind
the current
clubrooms to
store gear, despite
objections.
District
Nicole
Reid
councillors Nicole
Reid and Debra
Hasson voted
against the variation. They
were concerned it will create
a precedent for
other clubs to
build structures at
parks across the
district.
“This is a
premier park and
the whole look
Debra
Hasson
matters,” Reid
said at the district
council meeting.
Hasson said she was not
against the clubs having a place
to store their gear. “The concern
was if you let the rugby club do
this and put a building there,
what are (you) going to do with
the soccer club that comes
along? What are you going to do
with the rugby league club that
comes along?”
Despite the objections, district
councillors voted to approve the
lease variation by eight votes to
two.
The club’s gear is currently
stored in shipping containers
next to the Rolleston Men’s Shed.
Rugby club president Nicky
Ruki said the storage location
presents several difficulties.
“There’s no lighting over there
. . . having to get the big
containers open was a hassle,
plus it was getting a whole lot of
graffiti
. . . and they also get damp,”
Ruki said.
Interim district council chief
executive Tim Harris said the
shed was the best way forward.
“It seems like it’s the best
option in terms of keeping the
park tidy and, if they don’t go
for that option, they’ll find
somewhere else to store it.
“Secondly, the whole of
Rolleston has grown enormously
– we need to be flexible and
adapt,” he said.
Ruki said the shed design will
match the clubrooms, so it won’t
stand out.
It is expected to be completed
before the touch season starts in
October.

THE FAMOUS Grouse
Hotel has taken steps to avoid
losing its liquor licence or
have restrictions placed on its
operation.
The Selwyn Times revealed last
week police, the district council
licensing inspector and Canterbury’s
medical officer of health
are opposing the renewal of the
pub’s licence.
The pub is operated by
Famous Grouse 2009 Ltd, a
company which is owned by the
Lincoln Club.
University student behaviour
appears to be one of the main
reasons for the objections. The
pub has become the watering
hole for Lincoln University
students in recent years. The Mr
Famous Grouse contest, which
mainly involved students, is part
of authorities’ case against it, the
Selwyn Times understands.
The day after the Selwyn Times
article, the Lincoln Club and
hotel management issued an
email to club members outlining
the situation. The club has about
500 members.
The hotel has implemented a
no drinks outside policy after
9pm to “minimise noise that
might disturb neighbouring
properties” the club and management
said in its email.
They also reiterated to members
they believe the licensing
matter will not go to a hearing.
A date has not yet been set.
Said the email: “The authorities’
concerns seem to be generally
around the behaviour of patrons
on ‘student’ nights. These
are situations rather unique to
the Famous Grouse because of
its proximity to the university,
but we are sure that with some
goodwill from all sides the issues
can be sorted out.

However, the police lodged an
objection right at the 11 th hour
citing it was interim while further
investigations were carried
out. To date we have not been
informed about the outcome of
the “further” investigation.
“The licensing inspector
and Canterbury Health then
followed the police lead.
Once an application is lodged
and accepted we have three

requirements, our solicitors are

Prebbleton holds psychological
edge in bid to beat finals hoodoo
• By Jaime Cunningham
IT’S SET to be a clash of the
titans, when Prebbleton and
Waihora face off for the third
time this season in the Coleman
Shield final on Saturday.
Prebbleton will be chasing
their first shield since 1974
after being beaten in the last
two finals – losing by a point to
Darfield last year.
Prebbleton avenged that loss
with a 24-6 win over Darfield in
their semi-final on Saturday.
Prebbleton have the
psychological edge over Waihora
after beating them twice this
season.
But winning finals has been
Prebbleton’s Achilles’ heel.
As well as losing last year to
Darfield, they also lost the
2021 Coleman Shield final to
Southbridge.
They also lost the Luisetti
Seeds Combined Country final
to Ashburton Celtic 19-7 last
month. But Prebbleton head
coach Simon Fitzgerald said
since that loss his team have
improved.
“We didn’t execute our game
plan in the combined final
earlier this year but we have
really improved in our kicking
game each week since then to
the point that it’s now one of our
main strengths,” he said.
“We’re looking forward to
implementing it this time round
as we aim to go one better.”
Prebbleton scored an
unanswered 24 points against
Darfield to progress to the final,
despite being 6-0 down in the
early stages of the first half.

SELWYN SCHOOLS’ will

following the team’s 16-15 win
over Timaru Boys’ High.
Selwyn edged out Timaru
Boys’ to climb into eighth place
on the Miles Toyota Premiership
standings and qualify for the
plate semi-finals this weekend.
Leading 11-5 at halftime, Selwyn
were able to hold off a second
half fight-back from Timaru to
take the win.
Billy Duncan made his debut
off the bench for Selwyn in the
clash.
Saturday’s result followed
Selwyn’s 41-27 upset win over St
Bede’s College, who helped the
combined team progress to the
playoffs by beating Shirley Boys’
High 37-7 in the last round.

After losing six games in a

Waihora finished second in the
round robin stage due to the 27-

ago, but sealed their final spot
with a hard fought 16-15 win
over Southbridge on Saturday.
Waihora had an opportunity
to overcome Prebbleton in the
dying minutes of the combined
semi-final last month, but went
down 15-10.
However, Waihora were able
to hold on and claim the final
spot in another nail-biter against
Southbridge on Saturday.
With the two teams tied at
10-10 at halftime, two Waihora
penalties saw the team narrowly
beat Southbridge who could only
manage an uncoverted try in the
second period.
The clash against Prebbleton
will be Waihora’s first Coleman
Shield final since 2020, which the
team lost 40-32 to Southbridge.
Waihora last won the
silverware in 2018. They claimed
the Coleman Shield, Combined
Country title and Murray
Cooper Shield in a dream run
which included winning 18 of
their 20 games.

Greenpark shoots to top of the table

AFTER EIGHT consecutive
wins, Greenpark A put an end to

defending champions last week.
Sitting at the top of the table
with four wins recorded in the
round, Greenpark will be expected
to continue their second
round winning streak against
Broadfield A tomorrow night.
Although Greenpark led
throughout the game, Burnham
never backed down, trailing by
one for most of the match.
Olivia Clark led Burnham’s
shooting, netting all but three of
the team’s 45 goals.
Maia Hill was once again a focal
point for Greenpark A, shooting
37 goals from 43 attempts at
86 per cent.

Halswell Rugby League A 41-36
to move off the bottom of the
standings.
Broadfield and Halswell went
into the fourth game of the
round needing wins. Although
Halswell had a narrow 10-8 lead
after the first quarter, it was
Broadfield’s game from then on.
Both teams were accurate
throughout the game, with
Halswell shooting at 92 per cent
and Broadfield at 82 per cent.

third quarter from West Melton
wasn’t enough to pull back
Greenpark B’s lead in their clash
last week, with Greenpark winning
53-42.
Greenpark B take on Lincoln
A, who also had a comfortable
win last week.
Fourth-placed Lincoln toppled
Malvern A 56-43, closing out
the game with a strong 15-8 last
quarter. A win against Greenpark
B would see Lincoln climb
further up the standings ahead
of semi-finals next month.
Malvern have the challenge
of Burnham A as their playoffs
hopes slip out of grasp. Although
Burnham will be disappointed
after their first loss of the season,
they will be expected to produce
a large win over the newly
promoted Malvern.

The world calling
Selwyn home
From Afghanistan to the United Kingdom, people from around the world have been
making Selwyn home.
A group of 85 people from 14 different nationalities ranging from Zimbabwe to
India, the Philippines, Slovakia and the United States officially became Kiwi at the
Council’s latest citizenship ceremony at the Tai Tapu Community Centre.
Around 200 people including family, friends and supporters enjoyed the joyous
event, opened with a rousing waiata and kapa haka from Rolleston College kapa
haka, before Te Taumutu Rūnanga chairperson Liz Brown welcomed the new
citizens and their guests. Burnham Military Camp Commandant Major Julie
Richardson also spoke at the event about her journey moving to Selwyn and the
military’s special place in the district.
Mayor Sam Broughton led the event and encouraged the group to feel welcome
and to share their own unique backgrounds, cultures and stories that make Selwyn
a richer cultural experience.
Checking in on how businesses are doing
Selwyn businesses are being invited to share how they are faring and their outlook
for the coming months, in the district’s Business Survey which is now open until
8 August.
The twice annual survey is designed to help the Council plan activities that support
the business community, and inform advocacy efforts with agencies, central
government and other funders.
The survey will focus around how businesses have been faring over the past six
months and what their expectations are for the coming months. Artificial Intelligence
will also be up for discussion with businesses asked about their use of AI and of tools
such as ChatGPT, giving a helpful indication of how business is changing and the
impacts of new technologies.
The survey, which has been running for three years, gives valuable information for
businesses and for those involved in supporting the Selwyn business community or
looking to getting involved.
Findings of the survey will be presented at the Selwyn Business Breakfast on
Wednesday 6 September as part of the Learn Earn Grown Selwyn series.
If you are the owner or representative of a Selwyn business, please scan the QR
code below and fill in our online survey before Tuesday 8 August.

Preparations begin for new
Ellesmere pipeline
The first stages of work are
starting in the coming
weeks on a new pipeline
for Ellesmere.
The Council has a major
upcoming project, to install
a wastewater pipeline
between Leeston and
Rolleston, to connect to
the Pines Wastewater
Treatment Plant.
The pipeline will run through
Leeston, Doyleston and
Irwell and connect up with
the existing network south
of Rolleston, with the route
running along Beethams
Road, Leeston Road,
Bethels Road and Swamp
Road before connecting at
Edwards Road.
The pipeline will also
connect the Upper Selwyn
Ellesmere
Huts community to Pines
WWTP
Wastewater Treatment Plant
through a pipeline laid along
Selwyn Lake Road and connecting with the main pipeline at Leeston Road.
It is proposed that in the future, Coes and Chamberlains ford will be also
connected onto this pipeline. However, this is not part of the initial works.
The reason for upgrade is to cater for the anticipated growth in the area, to
keep up with the operational requirements, meet the environmental standards
and future proof our network.
Full works are expected to begin towards the end of this year. However, as
part of the final stage of design work and planning our contractors will be out
in the coming weeks carrying out some investigative works along the
pipeline route.
This will include some preliminary enabling works to ensure the suitability of
the ground and choose the best alignment for the location of the pipeline.
This may involve some digging and where the ground is disturbed it will be
returned to its original state in time (noting that it is hard to get grass to
strike in winter months so this may take some time).
Please take care around any work sites, don't enter restricted sites where
works are being done and please follow all traffic management for the safety
of all road users.
For more information, please visit selwyn.govt.nz/ellesmerepipeline or
email: ellesmere.pipeline@selwyn.govt.nz.

Dog registration month ends 31 July
The final countdown for dog registration month is on.
People who register their pooches before 31 July get a discounted
fee of $45, instead of $60, and avoid the potential penalties for
having an unregistered dog.
Registration renewal forms were sent to owners in June, but anyone
whose dog has not been previously registered with Selwyn District
Council can download a new form from the Council website.
Working dogs also need to be registered.
Thanks to the metal lifetime One Tags that were introduced in 2021,
owners won’t be issued a new tag for their canine and can keep the
one they already have. Replacement tags can be re-issued for $5 if
they are damaged or lost.
Dog registration fees help to pay for a range of Council services and
facilities available for your four-legged friends, including providing
dog safety education programmes and microchipping clinics,
reuniting lost or wandering dogs with their human friends or finding
them a new fur-ever home.
For more information on dog registration, fees and how to make a
payment, visit selwyn.govt.nz/dogregistration.

UNSTOPPABLE: Rolleston College’s senior A side were all smiles after beating Rangi Ruru A
33-20 in their first SuperNet Reserve game.
Rolleston making their mark
on SuperNet Reserve grade
• By Jaime Cunningham
AFTER PULLING off arguably
the biggest win in Rolleston
College netball history, the senior
A team will look to back up their
surprise victory this afternoon
against Middleton Grange
School.
The newly-promoted team
cemented their place in the
SuperNet Reserve grade with
a convincing 33-20 win over
Rangi Ruru in their first ever
appearance in the grade last
Wednesday.
Rolleston now take on
Middleton Grange at Avonside
Girls’ High School at 4.40pm
today. Middleton Grange lost to
Avonside 29-23 last week.
A win for Rolleston would see
them edge closer to a semi-final
spot ahead of the last round
robin game next week.
The team gained promotion to
the SuperNet Reserve grade after
finishing top of the A grade’s
division 1 table last term.
Rangi Ruru have had a poor
season so far, losing all their
SuperNet games and, as a result,
were dropped to the reserve
grade for the remainder of the
year.
But underdogs Rolleston
proved too strong for Rangi Ruru
who are a perennial SuperNet
team each year.
The young team, the majority
of whom are in year 11 and 12,
also play for Burnham in the
premier 2 competition at Selwyn
Netball Centre, where they are
sitting at the top of the table with
five wins from five games.

PETS & PAWS
Diet tips for your pet bunny
Before you succumb to your children’s nagging about
getting a pet bunny, here are some tips about what to feed
your new furry family member.
The most important part of a rabbit’s diet is grass hay
which should be available at all times. It’s full of vitamins and
minerals and creates a full feeling to stop them chewing on
other objects. Eating grass hay also helps with the appropriate
wearing down of teeth through chewing.
It’s suggested to feed a variety of two or more different
types of grass hay. It is also better to feed sun dried hay
over commercially dried hay because it retains more of its
nutrients.
Rabbits enjoy a green food diet including dandelion
greens, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, broccoli, Brussel
sprouts, celery and parsley. They provide water to the diet as
rabbits don’t always drink as much as they should. They’re
also great for the kidneys, bladder and gastrointestinal tract.
Green foods, however, don’t have enough calories to sustain
the bunny’s weight.
Fruit and vegetables should be used as treats or for
training. Examples of natural treats include carrots, green
or red bell peppers, mango, peach, pineapple and squash.
Bananas and grapes are not recommended because rabbits
can get hooked on these foods and may not want to eat
anything else.
Commercial pellets should only be fed as 10
per cent of a rabbit’s diet. Pellets don’t promote
normal tooth wear, and the lack of chewing
may lead to behavioural problems. The lack of
water content could also result in urinary tract
disease.
Foods that you shouldn’t give rabbits include
high starch and fatty foods, like beans, bread,
cereals, chocolate, corn, nuts, oats, peas, refined
sugar, seeds, wheat, or any other grains. It
is also not necessary to feed a healthy rabbit
vitamins or other nutritional supplements
because, if fed properly, they will consume it in
their diets.
Finally, water should be available at all times
for your bunny and changed daily. A dirty
water container can be a breeding ground for
bacteria. You can use either a water bottle or a
heavy bowl secured to the side of the cage to
avoid tipping.

EV enjoyment
Who can argue with saving money and
being more environmentally friendly?
Rolleston man Flip is pleased to report
he prefers driving his family’s electric
vehicles (EVs) over his previously owned
Toyota Corolla and his wife’s Mitsubishi
Outlander petrol vehicles. Along with
little maintenance and saving money on
ever-increasing fuel costs, the EV provides
a quiet ride with the power of immediate
and smooth acceleration without emitting
greenhouse gases. As a bonus, Flip also
advised, “I hardly ever have to go to a
charger where I have to pay for it.”
With plenty of charging stations
around the area, including Rolleston’s The
Warehouse and Foster Park, Flip uses free
charging where possible. He confirms it is
easy to find places to charge while out and
about. Flip explains, “While we’re doing the
shopping, the car is on charge, and then
afterwards, we just top it, and it’s sufficient
to keep it charged.”
At home, there are two different systems

to charge the cars. Another significant
advantage is solar power at home, which
makes it convenient and economical to
charge the cars overnight.
Starting the EV journey with a 30kw
Nissan Leaf three years ago, the family
added a Kia EV6 to their fleet of cars three
months ago. Initially, the Nissan Leaf
caused some range anxiety, but learning
to manage the charging and not waiting
until it’s on zero was the answer. At home,
the fast charge on the Leaf takes five hours,
while the EV6 takes longer. Flip regularly

within the car’s single-charge range of
528 km. The cooler weather doesn’t affect
the vehicle’s performance, but charging can
be slower.
Flip and his family had been in the
process of ordering a ute as they enjoy
getting out and about and camping,
however due to the EV6’s towing capacity of
1.6 tons, there was no need for the ute. Flip
is keen to recommend EVs to prospective
buyers as they are the “future and make
more sense”, where the range is not an issue
and plenty of charging stations are on hand.
He suggests non-EVs will have higher taxes,
and resale may be harder. Flip also gave
Europe as an example, with a planned EU
ban on combustion engine cars by 2035.
Maybe it’s time for you to experience and
enjoy an EV.

were so generous”, and “We even had a
$100 note put in the bucket!” The club
hopes to raise between $5000-$10,000 this
year. Upon arrival at VCC club rooms,
people can make their payment or are
provided with a QR code on their initial
instructions for prior payment or on their

For those with a busy day, you can opt
for a short journey that can take 30
minutes, or you can choose a longer route
that takes up to an hour and a half. The
instructions are given once people arrive
at the starting point, are easy to follow,
and are “designed not to get people lost”.
Even if they get lost, they know where
the finish point is. The routes are varied
so that the public will see the vehicles
out and about all over town. The rally
takes them on a journey and will finish at
the VCC club rooms at McLeans Island.

GARDENING 25
Spring dreaming: Winter a time to plan
Winter’s a good time to
think ahead – peruse
catalogues, order new
seeds and plants, and
prepare the soil
Vegetables
Gardening at this time of the
year is limited, as winter’s worst
weather usually comes in July
and August. Cold, wet days are
an opportunity to look through
garden catalogues and order new
seeds or plants.
This is also a good time to plan
where next season’s vegetables
will be sown or planted, using
the practice of rotation outlined
earlier this month.
Although five-year garden diaries
are valuable, an alternative
is a sturdy indexed book. Record
planting and other information
under each alphabetically listed
vegetable, noting the date when
seeds were sown or plants put in.
Note varieties and after harvesting,
indicate how well each did.
This gives a year-by-year record
of the garden, one that is easier
to cross-check than a series of
diaries.
Green manures oats, lupins
and the like not yet dug in
should be cut and turned into
the ground. Soil cleared of
crops such as winter cabbage,
broccoli and parsnips benefits
if it is turned over, too. Rough
LOOK FORWARD: Take time over winter to consider what
you’d like to plant in spring, and prepare accordingly.
digging is the best treatment at
this time of the year, with weeds
placed under the surface and any
spare compost thrown over the
surface. Complete with a dressing
of garden lime. The rate will
vary depending on soil acidity
but plan on 50g to 100g a square
metre, the bigger amount for
heavier soils.
Hedges can be trimmed in
warmer areas but should be left
until later in the year in areas
that experience hard frosts or
snow.
Soil can be prepared,
conditions permitting, before
cloches and cold frames are put
in place for growing plants under
shelter. If soil clings to tools or
boots, the ground is too wet and
any work should be postponed.
When the soil has been dug,
composted and worked to a fairly
fine crumb-like consistency,
position the cloches and leave
them for three weeks before
sowing seeds. This warms the
soil under the cloches and the
more that are used, the better the
lift in soil temperature under the
individual shelter.
Cloche gardening is
suitable for small gardens and
strawberries give earlier crops
grown in this way.
Flowers
Pruning roses this month can
be risky, as early pruning can encourage
roses to throw out fresh
shoots that will be zapped by
frost. Coastal areas can usually
get away with winter pruning
but in general, August is the preferred
month for rose pruning.
Garden centres have barerooted
roses in stock now and
buying early is recommended to
obtain popular varieties.
Cinerarias grown in a glasshouse
will be pushing up their
flower stems and will benefit
from a liquid manure once a
week, the day after they have
been watered.
Cyclamens (above) can also be
started in the greenhouse and
brought indoors as soon as the
first buds appear.
Tuberous begonias can be
grown in pots in the glasshouse
until almost ready to flower in
summer, when they can be taken
indoors or put on a sunny doorstep
or deck.
Carnations can also be treated
in this way.
Fruit
If any new fruit trees are still
to be ordered, do not delay or
you may miss out on a chosen
cultivar.
Plant trees and soft-fruit
bushes (currants, gooseberries,
raspberries and brambles such as
blackberries) in well-composted
soil to get them off to a good
start. Spending time getting the
soil into good shape before planting
pays dividends later.
With young fruit trees, avoid
letting them crop the first
season. Let the trees’ sturdy
trunks and branches develop for
better fruiting as they mature.

Kia ora
I love Waikirikiri Selwyn in the Winter.
There’s a fresh snap in the air, and on
a crisp blue-sky day the white tips of
the Southern Alps make me feel so
lucky to live in our amazing District.
The snow is on its way, and it will soon
be time to make the most of living
only a short drive from one of our
six awesome ski fields. So whether
you feel the ‘need for speed’, or for
some snowman and sledging fun, or
perhaps an overnight stay, relaxing in
a hot tub under the stars, our ski fields
have it all.
Agency leaders at the Youth Hub opening day.

A new Youth Hub
We have some amazing young people in Selwyn, they step up as volunteers, represent our
county in sport and knock it out the park when it comes to educational achievements. There
are also times when our rangatahi need support to help them through a short-term problem or
something lifechanging. That’s why last month we launched the Youth Hub, a one-stop shop
that offers a range of services including, counselling, career advice, education, and training.
These are confidential services delivered by professional agencies including Te Tahi Youth,
Youth Pathways, Family Planning and many more. Also at the Hub are youth courses, driver
education, drug, and alcohol support and even art and te reo Māori courses. So, if you are a
young person who’s not quite sure where to take your challenges, pop along to the Rolleston
Community Centre. The Hub is open every weekday 9am–5.30pm and until 6.15pm on
Wednesday and Thursday. For more information and to see the full programme of events
go to selwyn.govt.nz/youthhub.

Recommendations
for Local Government
Last month a review made recommendations for an overhaul
of Local Government, including that Councils should have
more control over how public money is spent. In New Zealand
over 90% of public money is spent by Central Government
leaving Councils to spend the remaining 10%. I don’t think
that’s right. It’s hard for Central Government to deliver truly
local outcomes, and for Local Government to rely on the
current rates income alone is unsustainable. We simply
can’t continue to raise rates to pay for the ever-expanding
list of things Central Government want us to do as well as
tackling climate change and caring for our environment.
Other recommendations in the report might see councils
elected for a four-year term. This would double the amount
of usable time between elections to deliver for Selwyn. The
report also asks councils to work together in our regions.
Labour and National have said they won’t be considering
the recommendations until after the elections, so in the
meantime I’ll be working with our neighbours on issues we
can tackle together. For a more in-depth look at the review,
I’ve put together a podcast, just search ‘Unpacking FFLG’ on
your podcast provider.
We all love our dogs
I love our dog Lev, he’s always the first to say hello when I walk through the
door and is a real part of our family. In Selwyn we have about one dog for
very five people, that’s a lot of dogs. Our council recognises how important it
is that we provide the services to help your dog live happy, healthy, and safe
lives. You’ve asked us for more dog parks and the most recent one was opened
at Kakaha Park with a separate small dog area, which was also one of your
requests. We’ll also microchip your dog for free. You must register you dog with
us each year and now you can keep the same tag and pay online or in person.
Your registration fees fund our animal control team who will collect your dog if
they decide to wander, trace them via their chip and return them to you. You’ve
got until 31 July for the discounted registration fee of $45 instead of $60.
Finally, having a dog is a responsibility and with that comes cleaning up your
dog’s poo. Thank you to all responsible dog owners who pick up your dog waste
and dispose of it responsibly in your red bin.

New Park for Selwyn
One of the great things about being on our Council is the ability to listen and respond to
your feedback. In 2018 you told us that the Prebbleton-Lincoln area needed more diverse
play experiences, some sort of adventure play, safer bike opportunities, more sports pitches
and a dog park. We responded with a masterplan to build just that. Following much more
public consultation, $13.5 million investment, and a huge community effort we opened the
first 14-hectare stage of Kakaha park last month. The sports pitches are staying a little wet
but will be in operation for the next season. There are also two artificial cricket wickets ready
for the summer. The floodlights ensure that early winter evenings don’t stop the fun and
the pavilion and covered pergola area is the perfect spot for a team talk or to catch up with
friends. Prebbleton school pupils put in the mahi and helped plant over 400 natives into the
surrounding landscape. Several cycle features such as jumps, boardwalks and a snake run,
as well as a mini playground, car parking and toilets complete this phase of the park. Looking
ahead, the park will expand to a total of 22 hectares over the coming years with more sports
fields, landscaped pathways, and a more off-road cycling tracks. So, grab your bike, bring your
dog and ball of choice and have a blast at Kakaha Park on Birches Road.
Opening the park with the kick of a ball. So much to do in the new park. Testing skills on the bike board walk.

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
Prebbleton Dairy targeted
four times by youth believes a
family group conference was a
waste of time.
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
Mehta said the decision had
already been made as to what
would happen with the youth.
The victim’s views did not
make a difference.

• 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.

Make a list
There are lots of decisions to be made when building
a new home. Most need to be made before plans are
lodged for consent and construction gets underway.
Housing companies usually guide their clients through
this process.
Whether working with a housing company or
calling on the assistance of an architect or architectural
draftsperson there will be a lot of decisions. The process
will be easier for all concerned, if you have done your
homework first.
Carry out your own research on building trends and
choices. This will help you get a feel for what is available.
Before deciding on your builder, you will want to find
out whether the company will require you to choose
from their existing library of house designs and a set
range of features and fittings, or whether you will have
the freedom to have a more bespoke plan and to choose
any feature available on the market.
As you research, keep records of what you might like
to have in your own home. Initially, you will be idea
gathering. Take photos of aspects within house designs
which appeal to you along with the fittings you like.
List down the key points you would like in your
home:
• number of bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms;
• size of garage e.g. double or triple;
• open plan living, or one or more separated living
spaces;
• kitchen dynamics including whether a pantry or
scullery is a must;
• wardrobes – size and type e.g. walk-in robe in master
bedroom;
• office or study nook needs;
• laundry separate or in the garage;
• cladding and roofing types;
• storage facilities within the home including
cupboards, storerooms and attic trusses;
• type of heating and whether under floor
heating, a ducted system or a log fire;
• double or thermal low-emissivity windows;
• spaciousness of entryway; and
• indoor/outdoor flow.
Think of each room in turn and consider
your family requirements, noting down
features you definitely want.
Consider also fittings such as:
• the exterior doors;
• style of door and handles;
• window catches;
• kitchen joinery and handles;
• bench top options;
• positioning of sink, oven, microwave, dishwasher and
refrigerator within the kitchen;
• bathroom fittings such as the type of vanity, shower
and bath;
• size of windows and how to capitalise on the sun;
• positioning of rooms to allow family interaction and
also quiet areas;
• whether to have a deck or patio; and
• type of seal for your driveway and paths.
Before sitting down with the designer, ensure you
have completed your research and have a clear idea
of what you want, remembering your final choices
will be influenced by your budget, size of section, and
product availability. There may also be design limitations
influenced by building regulations and construction
capabilities.
Researching and making a list will help prepare you
for the many decisions you will need to make in a short
space of time.
Research building trends & choices.

Retirement living options
in Selwyn
15
New Zealand’s population is
aging faster than ever, and Stats
New Zealand suggests that the
number of people aged 65 years
or older living in New Zealand
will likely hit 1 million by 2028.
Retirement and lifestyle villages offer
independence, social interaction,
communal spaces, and social activities
while providing easy-care living. Care
homes focus on caring for people’s basic
needs and those dependent on assistance
for daily tasks or activities. With
retirement villages, you have the right to
occupy your home (Licence to Occupy)
with ongoing fees for maintenance and
using communal facilities. Generally,
when you exit the village, no capital gain
is made from the resale, and a deferred
management fee is paid. In lifestyle
villages, you pay for the cost of your
home, the cost of leasing the land and
ongoing fees for maintenance. However,
usually, there are no deferred management
fees, and capital gain can be realised from
the home’s sale.
Here are some choices available
in Selwyn:
Woodcroft Estate is an ‘own-yourown’
village located at 34 Kendon Drive,
Rolleston. It is a lifestyle village catering
to independent people looking for
companionship, easier living, organised
activities and no exterior maintenance.
The village, currently with 60 units, is
three-quarters built, and completion
is anticipated in early 2025. Manager
Corinne advises, “You can be as involved
in village and community life as much, or
as little, as you like.”
Bupa Ashford Retirement Village
is located centrally at 8 Brunel Road,
Prebbleton, Manager Debbs suggests that
people coming into the village look at
“future-proofing and continual care in
a wonderful community. This readiness
for the long-term now includes serviced
apartments (2 meals daily and weekly
housekeeping) and Ashford Care Home,
which opened on 4th July 2023. This first
care home in Selwyn offers rest home,
hospital and dementia levels of care.
The Boulevard, located at 200
Dunns Crossing Road, is a privately
owned boutique village for those over
55. It currently has a waiting list for
its architecturally designed villas. The
manager, Karen, confirms that roading
and footpaths are being finalised to add
further villas to bring the total to 84 villas.
A five-year plan includes a hospital/rest
home and other facilities to provide a full
continuum of care and services.
With the increasing need for retirement
living, several retirement and lifestyle
villages exist within Selwyn. Your
retirement living choice should be about
what best suits your personal and financial
needs, but ensure you fully understand
the initial and ongoing costs and legal
implications.
