APPEALS OVER COUNCIL DISTRICT PLAN DECISIONS
Push for
business
park at
Lincoln
DEVELOPMENT: A map of what the industrial park could look like with
roads exiting onto Springs Rd and Tancreds Rd. The numbers represent each
boundary.
• By Daniel Alvey
ANOTHER BID is being made to
turn a block of land into a
business park in Lincoln.
The council rejected an
application to rezone 27ha
on Springs Rd near the
intersection of Tancreds Rd
from rural to industrial, as
part of its decision on the
district plan in August.
The land is owned by Lynn
and Carol Townsend, Lynn
and Malcolm Stewart, and Rick and
Diane Fraser.
The group is appealing
the council’s decision in the
Environment Court, arguing there
is a need for industrial-zoned land in
Lincoln.
A date has not been set for
the appeal to be heard.
In the appeal, the group
says the plan would “provide
significant industrial
development capacity for
Lincoln”.
Lynn Townsend told Selwyn Times
Townsend if the appeal was successful
the land is likely be used for
commercial activity with some very
light industrial activity.

Drivers wouldn’t obey lower
speed limits in urban areas
• By Daniel Alvey
BLANKET SLOWER speeds
in urban areas are unlikely to
go ahead because the council
believes motorists wouldn’t
adhere to them.
Rolleston Ward councillors
Nicole Reid and Sophie
McInnes called for streets in
urban areas to be dropped to see
more 50km/h areas changed to
40km/h during a discussion on
the draft Speed Management
Plan.
The plan, which is part of new
Waka Kotahi NZTA rules, is
now out for public consultation.
It would see the town centres
in Lincoln, Leeston and Southbridge
dropped to 30km/h, and
some rural roads dropped to
80km/h or 60km/h.
During a council discussion on
the plan, Reid said lower speed
limits are needed
if children are
going to be able
to safely walk and
bike to school.
McInnes was
disappointed that
Nicole Reid enforcement was
CHANGES: Some councillors wanted to see more urban changes, dropping speed from
50km/h to 40km/h.

the reason for not
lowering urban
speeds.
“I find it a wee
bit sad in a way
that the main reason
for not having
slow neighbourhoods
is that we’re
worried about
Sophie
McInnes
enforcement rather than because
we are worried about people being
safe,” she said.
Council road safety manager
Mike Patterson said driver
compliance was a consideration
made in not making widespread
urban changes.
Patterson said the council is
not in a position to put in infrastructure
and enforcement from
police, such as speed cameras, to
help with driver compliance.
Rolleston Ward councillor Phil
Dean, who was in the police for
25 years – including a stint as
Canterbury road policing manager,
was supportive of the plan,
but did not speak about urban
limit changes.
“As the person who has been
out there scraping up the people,
there is nothing that we can do
for people on our roads (that is)
better than reducing the speed,”
Dean said.
“I remind myself
that the four pillars
of safety on
our roads is the
cars, speed, road
and drivers, two of
those – road and
Phil Dean
speed – fall under
council or Waka
Kotahi’s space.”
Patterson said areas where the
council have suggested lowering
the speed below the safe and
appropriate speed is because
they are either urban areas that
have not been added to the Waka
Kothai database, or because of
an intersection.
The consultation will run
until November 10 and, once
complete, the plan will go to
Waka Kotahi for approval with
the hope that some of the school
speed limits can be changed over
the summer break before schools
start back next year.

view the map of all changes head

• In last week’s article on the
planned speed limit changes,
it was reported Ellesmere Rd
between Lincoln and Halswell
would be reduced from 80 km/h
50 km/h. The council has now
clarified the 50km/h will only
apply for 200m north of Edward
St. It was also reported Gerald
St in Lincoln would drop from
50 km/h to 30km/h. That speed
limit would apply between West
Belt on Gerald St and Heathridge
Pl, Edward St.

Site has little rural
value, group says
• From page 1
The land backs onto Barton
Fields, a residential subdivision.
“The site has direct access to
main transportation corridors
and connections to the Lincoln
township. Roading and
transportation upgrades can be
required through the consenting
process, with major upgrades
being required prior to any
substantial development,” the
appeal documentation states.
“The proposal provides a
separate pedestrian and cycle
connection to Springs Rd and
Boundary Rd intersection,
creating safer interactions
between cyclists, pedestrians and
vehicles.”
A cafe would be part of the
commercial activity which would
cater for Barton Fields residents,
the appeal says.
Townsend said Barton Fields
developer Mike Greer Homes
had initially opposed the plan to
rezone the land, but since then
had changed its position after
changes were made to impact
residents less.
Mike Greer Homes did not
respond to questions from
Selwyn Times.
The group argues in its
appeal while the Springs Rd
and Boundary Rd intersection
is already at capacity other
developments, like the 1710-
home Lincoln South which uses
Springs Rd as the main entry and
exit point, would see the road
needing upgrades anyway.
The group said it could be
a financial contributor to the
upgrades if required.
It argues the site holds little
value for rural use as the land is
not highly productive and would
be better served for industrial
use.
“The economic benefits
of industrial zoning greatly
outweigh retention of the site as
rural lifestyle blocks. There will
be significant economic benefits
associated with rezoning to
industrial,” it said in the appeal.
It said the site’s design would
result in minimal disturbance
to neighbours with height
restrictions on outer buildings,
and only certain colours
allowed.
“Building height restrictions
from the eastern boundary
and Springs Rd frontage (will)
preserve amenity of existing
residential development at
Birches Rd subdivision.”

Appeal for Prebbleton
subdivision to go ahead
• By Daniel Alvey
AN APPEAL on the District
Plan may be the last chance for a
subdivision in Prebbleton to be
approved.
The Birchs Village subdivision
could see 37ha of rural land on
Birchs Rd rezoned to residential,
enabling about 400 homes to be
built.
Prior to the proposed District
Plan being signed off council
had already rejected a private
plan change in August, based
on the recommendation from
Commissioner Paul Thomas.
Thomas’ reasons for his recommendation
included the location
not achieving a compact urban
form for Prebbleton, and the plan
change not giving 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.
Thomas said in addition the
plan change, PC79, did not offer
enough development capacity to
meet the 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.
The appeal asks for the area to
either be rezoned as general residential
land or included as part
of the urban growth overlay.
It argues the site is strategically
located across the road from the
Birchs Rd recreation reserve,
known as Kakaha Park, and it
would bring the new reserve into
the township.
“Providing land for future
residential use increases housing
resources leading to an expanded

social and economic base for
the strategically located rural
township. Servicing connections
currently exist north along
Birchs Rd, allowing for extension
to existing infrastructure and
services,” the appeal said.
Selwyn Times approached
neighbours who opposed the
subdivision for comment but
they declined, wanting to seek
legal advice before making a
public statement.
In July when Thomas’ decision
was released on the plan change
request, one of the neighbours,
John Sheaf, said he was “thrilled
to bits” by the recommendation.

Bid to stop rifle range noise complaints
• By Daniel Alvey
THE NEW Zealand Defence
Force is having another shot at
ensuring the future of its West
Melton rifle range.
NZDF has been trying for
a number of years to get a
covenant placed on properties
near the range to stop noise
complaints, with an appeal
on the District Plan the latest
attempt.
Each time it has tried, its
submission has been knocked
back by residents in the area.
The NZDF had submitted to
the District Plan, asking
for the covenant to be added,
but the change was declined.
It has subsequently lodged an
appeal with the Environment
Court.
Said NZDF in its appeal: “A
restrictive reverse sensitivity
covenant shall be secured on the
record of title, which protects
the West Melton rifle range
from complaints and associated
reverse sensitivity effects.”
The NZDF argues the range
has been operating legally since
the 1940s, and is of key importance.
“It is a nationally important
training facility for the NZDF,
and is of critical importance to
the NZDF’s ongoing operations,
including because it is the only
long-range facility in the South
Island,” the appeal said.
“The proposed plan provisions
that apply to the surrounding
land uses also have the potential
to influence the way that NZDF
carries out its operations at the
range.”
West Melton
resident Alan
Roberts, who
lives next door,
to the range was
“not impressed”
by the latest
attempt to put
the restrictions
in place.
Roberts
submitted on the proposed
Alan
Roberts
District Plan against the NZDF,
saying if a covenant was placed
on his property, it would devalue
it – and any covenant would
mean they could do what they
wanted.
“It gives the army an influence
over our properties and I don’t
see the need to do that,” he said.
Roberts wasn’t the only one
to appeal the decision. Adrian
McFedries formed a group
called Rein in the Range and
represented 270 residents in
opposition of the NZDF move
during last year’s District Plan
hearings.
McFedries told Selwyn Times
the group is considering its
options when it comes to being
involved in the Environment
Court appeal.
Roberts said he had no
problem with the way the range
was operated.
In 2009, the NZDF agreed
with residents not to use certain
large mortar shells and to give
residents advance warning
of heavy activity after a blast
wave damaged properties and
distressed animals.
“It worked very well; we live
across the road and we are more
than happy with the results,” he
said.
“They have planted trees now,
and put up embankments . . . the
noise is not really a problem.”
Roberts said he will likely
oppose NZDF’s latest move, but
is still speaking with his solicitor
on his options.
Since 2009 the council
has received only one noise
complaint from about the rifle
range, in 2020.
The NZDF is concerned
without the covenant an increase
in complaints may stop it from
increasing the intensity and
frequency of activities.
Under the District Plan the
NZDF is required to have a noise
management plan; it argues if
it is required to have an NMP
then it should also be protected
from complaints.

Māori ward
unlikely; new
rep on board
• By Daniel Alvey
THE DISTRICT is unlikely to
have a Māori ward at the next local
government elections.
At the representation review
meeting on Tuesday last week, it was
decided to recommend the council
did not establish a Māori ward.
Māori wards provide a way for
Māori to contribute to decisionmaking
and have representation at
council.
To establish the ward the number
of elected members would need to
be increased from 10 to 12, excluding
the mayor.
At the last representation review
three years ago, the number of
elected members dropped from 11
to 10. Mayor Sam Broughton said
this was to ensure expediency in
the council process and decisionmaking.
From discussions with local
iwi and hapu at this time, iwi as a
whole did not support the creation
of a Māori ward.
To honour its partnership
commitments under the Treaty
of Waitangi, the council last
week welcomed mana whenua
representative Megan McKay, who
will have speaking and voting
rights in all council committees
and speaking rights in council
meetings.

RE-ELECTED Selwyn MP
Nicola Grigg is “really stoked”
with the election results, which
exceeded her expectations.
“The whole team, especially
my volunteers out in Selwyn,
worked so hard and put so many
hours into it, the win was for
them as much as anything,”
Grigg said.
Grigg had an election night
count of 26,549 votes – a winning
margin of 17,050 over the
next best candidate, Labour’s
Luke Jones, who had 9499 votes.
Act candidate Ben Harvey
received 2207 votes.
“I had set a goal in my own
head to double my 2020 margin
from 5000 to 10,000, so I
couldn’t believe it when these
numbers started to come in,”
she said.
Grigg was part of a huge
swing to National, which retook
the party vote in Selwyn after it
went the way of Labour in 2020.
National received 19,835 party
votes, compared to 7240 for
Labour.
“Turning Selwyn back blue
was my number one priority in
2020.
“I had the dubious title of
being the first ever MP to turn
Selwyn red (in the party vote),

SUCCESS: Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg has retained her seat
by 17,050 votes. ​
so to turn it back blue with such
a margin the whole team was
really stoked.”
Grigg said the portfolios she
will receive will now be up
to incoming Prime Minister
Christopher Luxon. She wants
to retain her portfolios – animal
welfare, biosecurity, food safety,
rural communities, and women.
“He knows very well how
much I love the agriculture sector
and that’s where my heart
and soul lies.
“I’ve always had a stretch goal
of being New Zealand’s first
female minister for primary
industries but Todd McClay is
the lead on the portfolio and I’m
sure it will go to him.”
At No 19 on National’s list,
Grigg may also score a spot
around the Cabinet table with
there usually being about 22-24
seats available. She said it will
depend on coalition negotiations
between Act and potentially
New Zealand First.
Grigg said her focus will be on
infrastructure, which includes
investigations into building four
lane roads to Ashburton and
prioritising school rebuilds for
the likes of Ellesmere College.
Jones said he was pleased with
the result, despite the margin.
“We really understood it was
going to be an uphill battle.”
Jones said he had aimed to get
10,000 votes, which he is 501
short of, a margin he is hoping
to close as special votes are
counted.

Controversial sex ed book here to stay
• By Daniel Alvey
A CONTROVERSIAL sex
education book will remain in
the district’s libraries.
The book, Welcome to Sex:
Your no-silly-questions guide to
sexuality, pleasure and figuring it
out, by former Dolly Doctor and
youth health expert Dr Melissa
Kang and TV personality Yumi
Stynes has been controversial
since its launch in May.
The book traverses everything
from consent and sexuality to
sexual positions, and was written
in response to questions from
adolescents.
Last month a resident addressed
councillors about her
concerns saying the book was
“disgusting”.
“It is a book that has very
graphic pictures. It is available
for children aged 10 and 11 years
old and up, but the authors have
stated it is suitable for mature
8-year-olds,” she said.
Following a review by the
council, requested by chief executive
Sharon Mason, the book
will stay.
“Freedom of Expression is a
core tenet of public libraries.
While public libraries have an
obligation to adhere to any restrictions
or classifications by Te
Mana Whakaatu Classification
Office, public libraries do not restrict
access to book and digital
collections unless there is a legal
obligation to do this as directed
by the Office,” Mason said in her
report.
“Librarians acknowledge that
everything in library collections
will not necessarily appeal to
everyone - the decision of what
content to borrow or engage with
is up to the individual or guidance
by parents or caregivers.”
There is one hard copy and one
digital copy of the book available
in the district’s libraries, and five
hard copies and one digital copy
available in Christchurch City
Libraries.
DNA found on milk drink left at burglary scene
• By Daniel Alvey
A DNA sample has been taken
from a milk drink container
and could potentially lead to
an arrest in two high-profile
burglaries.
The strawberry-flavoured
Up&Go container which was
found by the victim of the Burnham
break-in in March was sent
for forensic testing.
The Burnham homeowner
surprised the offender in his
house. The burglar knocked him
over as he ran from the house.
He left in a white Mercedes
Sprinter camper van.
The victim told Selwyn Times
police have a sample from the
container.
“They did get some DNA off
the container off it, but they
can’t tell me anything more,” the
victim said.
The suspect, who is believed
to be a well-known burglar,
has been spoken to by police
but denies any involvement.
The distinctive white van used
in the two burglaries was also
used in a burglary in Tai Tapu
on December 26, Boxing Day,
and has often been seen parked
up at a Woolston social housing
complex.
In response to questions from
Selwyn Times police would not
say if the sample had matched
any held on its database, or if
anyone had been brought in for
questioning.
A spokesperson only said
inquiries were ongoing.
In the Tai Tapu burglary, the
homeowner found an axe had
been left at the scene when
he returned home to find his
house had been broken into.
His home security camera
captured the distinctive van
leaving his property. A car
was also stolen, which was
captured being driven off,
meaning there was more than
one offender at this burglary.
CLUES: The victim of the Burnham burglary
found a used Up&Go drink container that is
believed to be the suspect’s after he left the
scene in a white campervan.

From Hororata pies to building Ōtira tunnel
HISTORIC: The heritage exhibition at Te Ara Ātea features a
medal commemorating the opening on the Ōtira tunnel.
PHOTOS: SELWYN STORIES/TOM FERGUSON
MORE OF the district’s history
will be on display at Te Ara Ātea
in Rolleston from tomorrow.
It ranges from the historic
importance of a Hororātā pie,
to Selwyn once hosting an Air
Force base.
The 20 heritage exhibition
cases housed throughout the
community and cultural centre
and library have had their first
update since it opened in 2021.
From ancient pounamu to the
stories behind three historic eggbeaters,
it tells the stories of the
district and Rolleston town.
Council culture, content and
learning manager Mat Logan
says the commitment to storytelling
is evident in this update.
“The new exhibits aim to
engage the community in a fresh
and exciting way, making the
heritage collection not just a
static display but a living narrative
that continues to evolve,” he
said.
One of the new exhibits features
the engineering wonder of
the Ōtira rail tunnel.
The exhibit celebrates and
acknowledges the people who
endured harsh conditions to live
and work at the tunnel. A commemorative
18-carat gold medal,
inscribed “East and West Meet”,

FARMERS NOW have a way of
trying before they buy.
They can follow and compare
the readings of different soil
moisture probes following the
installation of a demonstration
site at the Foundation for Arable
Research (FAR) Kowhai Farm at
Lincoln.
FAR technology manager
Chris Smith said the project
aims to look at the various soil
moisture monitoring services
commercially available to arable
growers.
Nine different providers are
represented. Growers are invited
to log in to any of the providers’
portals to find out what moisture
probe readings look like on the
companies’ software platforms.
Smith said moisture probes are
a valuable tool for managing the
timing and application rate of
irrigation, particularly at critical
growth stages of a crop’s development.
The probes also monitor
soil temperature.
Multi-level probes add an
additional benefit for monitoring
the movement and penetration
of moisture in the root zone after
a rain or irrigation event.

Jump in and
join the fun
on Labour Day
THE HORORATA Parish Fair is going
to be the place to be on Labour Day.
With more than 60 market stalls offering
a variety of crafts, toys, clothes,
candles, soaps, art, flowers, birdbaths
and everything in between, the fair
promises to be a fun family day out.
The parish will also have its own stalls
like the white elephant, plants, and
produce.
Said Hororata Community Trust
executive officer Cindy Driscoll: “The
country auction will be at 11.30am
and there are sure to be some great
bargains.”
There will also be free activities
funded by the council including archery
and pedalmania plus traditional kids’
races. Pony rides and bouncy castles will
be there too.
“Creative kids is a fun competition for
children to enter their creations. This
year’s theme is ‘pillars of our community’.
Draw your favourite place in the
community or build it out of Lego – let
your imagination go wild,” Driscoll said.
All proceeds from the fair will go
towards the parish’s pastoral care programme.
“The parish has recently employed the
Reverend Peg Riley who is continuing
the good work of our former vicar Jenni
Carter. Peg is well qualified to carry
out this role with decades of experience
serving the community as a vicar and
hospital and school chaplain.
“Peg is solely employed to provide
pastoral care to our community – she
will not be involved in other church
activities or services,” Driscoll said.
Entry to the fair is free and will
take place at the Hororata Domain
9.30am-2pm. Donations are being taken
for the white elephant stalls and the
country auction – contact the Parish
on hororataparish@gmail.com to get
involved and visit www.hororataparish.

Legal Matters
Advance Directives
We have the right to make
decisions about our own medical
treatment, whilst we have the
mental capacity to understand the
situation(s) and the consequences
of our decision-making. However,
there may come a time when you
are unable to communicate your
wishes due to a medical condition
or incapacity. To help ensure your
consent or refusal to a medical
treatment is conveyed, New
Zealand recognises the importance
of advance directives, also known
as “Living Wills” or Advance Care
Plans.
The person to whom you have
granted power of attorney for
personal care and welfare matters
does not have legal authority to
give a ‘do not resuscitate’ direction
to healthcare professionals.
Therefore, if you would want a
‘do not resuscitate’ direction to be
in place in certain situations, you
need to have clearly given your
views on that, preferably in writing.
An advance directive is a
document that helps provide
clarity to healthcare providers,
attorneys, and family members
about what medical treatments,
such as life-sustaining treatment,
resuscitation, or organ donation,
a person would like to receive or
refuse in specific situations should
they be unable to communicate
for themselves.
An advance directive often
addresses end-of-life care
decisions, including the use of
palliative care and the withdrawal
of life support if necessary. An
advance directive could request
the refusal of life saving treatment
after doctors have concluded that
there is no reasonable expectation
of the person being able to
support their own life without it.
Currently, advance directives are
not legally binding on medical
practitioners administering
treatment, but they can carry
significant weight in the decisionmaking.
While advance directives are
valuable tools for expressing
one’s medical wishes, open
communication with healthcare
providers and loved ones is
equally essential. Discussing your
preferences with family members
and healthcare professionals can
help ensure that your wishes are
known and respected.
Advance directives empower
individuals to have a say in their
healthcare even when they are
unable to communicate their
preferences. Although New
Zealand currently lacks specific
legislation governing advance
directives, UK case law, which may
be followed in the future, suggests
an advanced directive would be
binding if it was clearly established,
applicable to the circumstances,
and not overruled by a clear
statutory authority.
We often assist clients with
creating an advance directive when
considering their Will and Enduring
Powers of Attorney.

Springston School
SPRINGSTON SCHOOL
has become the beneficiary of
community gardens, thanks to
the Ellesmere Lions.
The gardens, built by the Lions,
were installed to replace the ones
at the Springston Community
Gardens after the gardens closed.
The group removed the raised
gardens from their previous site
and rebuilt them on the school
grounds, replacing some timber
and filling them with a mixture
of soil and compost.
The Lions also decided to
donate a new garden shed with
the support of Leeston Buildlink
and Ellesmere Transport.
“This Duratuf shed was a
challenge to build, but after many
hours of head scratching, finger
hitting, and an odd bit of blood,
we presented the school with a
wonderful new lockup garden
shed,” Lions spokesperson Glenn
Smith said.
“The Ellesmere Lions would
like to thank all those who
helped complete this project,
and hope the children at the
school enjoy learning more about
growing their own veges and
understand they don’t just turn
up on the supermarket shelves.”
WORK ON Rolleston College’s
second campus can now get
underway after the site was
cleansed by iwi.
Last week a Karakia
Whakawātea was held on the
new senior campus site on the
corner of Selwyn and Springston
Rolleston roads.
Led by local iwi Ngāi Te
Ruahikihiki the site was blessed
with the first official sod
turned by the board chair
Louise Milne and Mayor Sam
Broughton.
Milne said there had been an
incredible amount of hard work
put in to get to this stage.
“There has been almost
two years of consultations,
design meetings, back and
forth, thousands of emails and
hundreds of phone calls to get
to the point where we’re finally
turning ground.
“This is beyond exciting not
just for our school whanau, but
the local community and the
wider education sector. We’ve
all seen the rapid growth of
Rolleston and Selwyn and the
new senior campus will be of
huge benefit to everyone in our
district,” Milne said.
Also in attendance were

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Lower speed limits will need enforcing
Changing the speed limits
only works when motorists abide
by the posted signage. Observe
the 40km limit in Springs Rd,
Prebbleton, where vehicles
routinely belt through the
township averaging 55-60km
on a daily basis.
No point in changing speed
limits if they’re not properly
enforced.
-C Struthers
Having worked in traffic
management patrols and just
general observations, lowering
speeds except outside schools is
the stupidest idea NZTA has ever
had. New Zealand drivers just
don’t obey speed limits unless
they think there might be police
around. Lowering the limits will
actually increase accidents and
deaths
because
New Zealand
drivers just get frustrated then
go twice as fast when they can
pass or think they are okay, even
if still in a speed limited area.
Not a lot of commonsense
in this idea.

Highland games has new chieftain
FOUNDING committee
member Colin Forsyth has been
named chieftain of the 12th
Hororata Highland Games.
Forsyth returned this year
from nine years in Scotland.
He was instrumental in
setting up the games after the
February 22, 2011 earthquake,
when Hororata residents were
brainstorming how to rebuild
not only their homes, church,
hall and pub but also their
community.
Said fellow founding committee
member Tish Ballagh: “We
knew we needed something
more than a bake sale; we needed
something enduring which
would bring people to Hororata
and put our district on the map.
“Most of us knew nothing
about running a Scottish
highland games, but some
community members did. One
of them was Colin Forsyth. We
are excited to have him back
with us at Hororata this year as
chieftain.”
From Stirling, Scotland, Forsyth
has been involved in highland
dancing and pipe bands
all his life. His father is former
world champion Billy Forsyth,
president of the Royal Scottish
Official Board of Highland
Dancing.
Said Forsyth: “As a Scotsman
who grew up involved in
highland games, to be asked to
be chieftain is a huge honour.
We were a passionate group who
founded the games and everyone
contributed greatly to get it off
the ground. It is still run by
volunteers, many who have been
there from the start and I am
excited to see how the event has
evolved in the past nine years.
“I can only commend the
committee for their continued
vision of a Scottish highland
games with a twist of Kiwi. Having
travelled to highland games
in all corners of the world. I can
honestly say that the Hororata
is one of the best anywhere you
go.”
A civil engineer, Forsyth,
his Kiwi wife Nichola and five
children left New Zealand for
AT THE HELM: Hororata Highland Games’ new chieftain
Colin Forsyth. Above – Forsyth with the third chieftain, Sir
Jerry Mateparae, in 2013.
Scotland in 2014, where he has
watched the games evolve from
afar. This year, he returned
to New Zealand to take up a
technical director position with
Davis Ogilvie and Partners in
Christchurch. His family will
follow in 2024.
The role of the chieftain dates
back to when Scottish ‘clans’ all
had a ‘chieftain’ as the leader of
their family. The highland games
allowed the chieftain to find out
who was the strongest and fastest
to represent them in battle.
Thesdays, the chieftain presides
over the games and is honoured
in a welcoming ceremony at
noon – a unique blend of
Scottish and Kiwi culture.
• The 12th Hororata
Highland Games will
be held at the Hororata
Domain on November 11.

experience with customised travel. Staff
listen to what is needed and offer their full
wrap-around service, including dealing
with baggage, visas, cancellations and
emergencies. They want to do something

“All three of us were sitting on cell phones
as borders were closing and flights were
cancelling to bring everyone home.”

unravel, the trustworthy team can quickly
rebook with the ability to search constantly
for a seat to become available. With a fully

Sixty years of cooking for others
WHEN SHE was 7-yearsold,
Tina Duncan could turn
out a perfect batch of scones. By
the age of 10, she was confident
enough in the kitchen to turn out
a full roast dinner.
Now, after a lifetime of cooking
for others, Duncan still loves it.
That’s just as well since she says
people are often afraid to cook
for her.
“Everybody wants you when
they know you love food. They
want you to do the food. They
want you to look after them, they
want you to cook for them. It’s just
my love language, really,” she said.
Duncan is a self-taught cook,
caterer, cooking school tutor and
now author of a new book Plated:
A lifetime love affair with food.
With thousands of recipes to
choose from, she wanted Plated
to reflect not only her catering
experiences but also her culinary
upbringing on the family far,
“There’s things there from my
grandmother, my grandmother’s
brawn recipe because I adore
brawn . . . it’s got my mother’s
shortbread, it’s got cinnamon
oysters that my mother always
made, there’s lots of lovely things
from my childhood as well as
things moving in through my
years.
“My mother was an extraordinary
cook, and you know, you
grow up in a family and you
don’t know how wonderful your
mother was until you go to other
places and realise that not everybody
was eating what you were
eating at home.
“We ate beautiful meats. We
‘We had the most
extraordinary vegetable
garden that my father
grew and (my mother) was
really happy to teach me. I
just found my place in the
kitchen with her, and she
was wonderful’
– Tina Duncan
had the most extraordinary
vegetable garden that my father
grew and (my mother) was really
happy to teach me. I just found
my place in the kitchen with her,
and she was wonderful.”
When she left school Duncan
became a dental nurse but left
that career to travel overseas.
“What you did when you were
doing your OE, the easiest thing
to do was to slot into a restaurant
somewhere. That’s what I did
when I got to London, I went
with my sister and I worked in a
restaurant, and then I just carried
on with that pattern.
“When I came home, we
bought a service station in the
North Island. I was always having
dinner parties. And then
eventually when we moved
south, I worked in a cafe because
we were farming, and farmers
weren’t making money in those
days. So I worked in a local cafe
and did catering, and then I kind
of got sucked into a catering
company in Christchurch and in
the end I bought it.”
Over the years, Duncan and
her White Tie Catering team
– which has included her four
daughters – have provided food
for thousands and thousands of
events.
“One night we did a huge dinner
in Christchurch, in Hagley
Park and there were 11 cabinet
ministers there and the Prime
Minister and I remember the
head chef turning to me and
saying, ‘Tina, we could bring the
country to its knees tonight!’”
Duncan struggles to recall a
total catering disaster, but in the
book she does share the story of a
wedding cake that nearly wasn’t.
“It was a big deal, this wedding
cake, because I had three meetings
about it, and it was supposed
to be me making it. There was a
red carpet down the middle of
the Great Hall in Christchurch
with the cake at the end. And I
hadn’t made it.

Tina Duncan shares her secrets
• From page 25
“At 10 o’clock in the morning, I
realised that it had to be in place
at 2pm.”
Duncan rushed off to buy some
cakes and then got busy icing
them. In the rush, she put the
wrong size cake on the bottom.
“I got the 10-inch cake, and
then I put a 12-inch cake tin over
the top of it and iced the tin, then
carried on layering up the cake.
I said to the supervisor that day,
‘you make sure when the bride
and groom cut the cake, they cut
into the middle, not into the tin!’.
But I did it, I pulled it off.”
When it comes to cooking
at home – especially for others
– Duncan says many people put
too much pressure on themselves.
“I think very often they try and
try too hard. I want to be having
fun when I have people for dinner,
I do not want to be slaving in
the kitchen.”
Her secret weapon for a dinner
party is doing things in advance.
“I like to be completely prepared.
If you’re coming to my
place for dinner, by midday I’m
done. I probably got a dessert in
the freezer for starters because
it’s probably done a week prior.
“I always blanch my greens
in advance, so if you’re coming
for dinner, in the morning I
might do the asparagus or the
brussels sprouts or whatever my
greens are, are always blanched
in very, very, very salty water for
a couple of minutes until they’re
tender, then put them into ice
cold water to set the chlorophyll
so they’re lovely and green. Then
at nighttime, there’s two ways:
you can either plunge them back
into boiling water very quickly,
or you can pop them on an oven
tray, drizzle olive oil over them
and into a hot oven.”
The secret to perfectly cooked
meat, she says, is using a meat
thermometer and taking the
meat out of the oven before it
reaches the desired temperature.
“For example, a fillet of beef,
I would take out at about 48
degrees C if I was wanting it
medium rare, and then I cover it
in tin foil and tea towels and just
leave it quietly for half an hour.
And by the time it comes to 50-
54 degrees C, it’s perfect.
“I’m so used to cooking 250
steaks for somebody. If we’re
doing a wedding in a paddock
on a Saturday, on Friday I’ve
partially cooked all the meat and
it’s chilled, and then I’m taking
it and then just reheating it. You
can sear off your steaks and then
have them in the chiller, then
take them out and then bring
them up to room temperature
into a really hot oven and just
bring it up to eating point.”
Over her long career in
food, Duncan has experienced
plenty of trends and changes. She
credits the celebrated chef Peter
Gordon with opening New Zealanders’
eyes to new spices and
flavours.
“Growing up, I’d never eaten
chilli in my life. I went to London
and the first thing that my
flatmate made was a chilli omelette,
I’ll never forget that.”
Duncan’s daughters have
all worked in her catering
business – “we had instant
staff!” – and followed in her
culinary footsteps, which brings
her great joy.
“I cry about that often. Sitting
around the table with them, that is
just one of the highlights for me.
“I don’t think I was a
particularly good teacher, which
sounds ridiculous because I
run a cooking school, but not
with the children. I think it was
quicker for me to do it myself
because I was really busy. But
they’re all very good cooks
and they say they’ve learned
by osmosis. I gave them all a
Stephanie Alexander Cooks’
Companion.” – RNZ

Let’s talk about safer speeds
around Selwyn
The way we set speed limits in Selwyn is changing.
Our proposed Speed Management Plan is a new, more flexible approach that
better acknowledges the local conditions, uses of our roads and the
surrounding environment.
It sets the principles of how we decide the speed limits for our local roads and
what speeds would need to be changed based on those principles.
You can view the plan and an interactive map of the proposed speed changes
and join the conversation at selwyn.govt.nz/speedmanagement, or at our
Rolleston offices or any of our Selwyn Library and Service Centres.
Whether you drive, walk, cycle, or use public transport, everyone deserves to
get to where they are going safely.
Although speed is not the only factor in a crash, it determines whether someone
is seriously injured or killed.
As our district grows, more people are driving on our roads, taking public transport
and using active modes such as walking and cycling. We want to make it easier for
people to move about our region easily and safely in ways that contribute to their
health and well-being.
Rather than looking at speed limit changes on a street-by-street basis, our speed
management plan forms our district's five principles for speed management.
These principles guide setting safe speeds in our community and aligns our
planning with Waka Kotahi's State Highways and where neighbouring district's
roads connect to our network.
The first focus area will be safe speeds around kura/schools. The plan proposes
to do this by introducing a 30km/h permanent speed limit for most schools in the
district in the current financial year, while the remaining schools will have a variable
speed limit. The plan also proposes the future lowering of speed limits in high
activity areas such as Lincoln township, Foster Park area and Leeston township.
In addition to lower speeds around kura/schools, which will be implemented by
June 2024, the Council is seeking feedback to help in shaping our 2024 to 2030
plan. This includes speed reductions on the wider urban, rural, and unsealed roads.

Te Ara Ātea unveils new
heritage exhibition
Do you know the historic importance of a pie for Hororātā, or that Selwyn
once hosted a New Zealand Airforce base?
New treasures of the district’s heritage and fresh stories have been revealed
in new heritage displays at Te Ara Ātea.
The 20 heritage exhibition cases housed throughout the community and
cultural centre and library have had their first update since it opened in 2021.
From ancient pounamu to the stories behind three historic eggbeaters, these
treasures tell the stories of our district and Rolleston town, preserving the rich
tapestry of our local history.
Council Culture, Content and Learning Manager Mat Logan says the
commitment to storytelling is evident in this update.
“The new exhibits aim to engage the community in a fresh and exciting way,
making the heritage collection not just a static display but a living narrative
that continues to evolve”.
One of the new exhibits features the engineering wonder of the Ōtira rail
tunnel. A link connecting the east and west coasts of Te Waipounamu the
South Island. The exhibit celebrates and acknowledges the brave people who
endured harsh conditions to live and work at the tunnel. A commemorative
18-carat gold medal, inscribed “East and West Meet”, is a highlight of the
exhibit and is on loan from Massey University in Wellington. The medal was
presented to Prime Minister William Massey in 1923 at the opening ceremony
by John Hoglund, a storekeeper at work camps along the railway line for
36 years.
Te Ara Ātea invites everyone to explore these updated heritage cases and
be part of the ongoing cultural experience it provides for our community.
Community recycling days coming up
Community recycling drop-off days are about to be held in Malvern and
Ellesmere, starting at Hawkins Pit Darfield this month. Wherever you live in
Malvern or Ellesmere, this is a great opportunity to clean up the backyard,
shed or garage, and get rid of items from old child car seats and E-waste to
scrap metal, garden waste and old tyres.
Dropping off scrap metal, including old bicycles, BBQs, small appliances,
whiteware, and pots and pans is free. Charges apply for bulky items that
would be too large for your wheelie bin, such as couches, mattresses, desks
and curtains. Charges also apply for green waste, tyres, car seats and some
E-waste such as TVs and monitors.
Disposal of other E-waste and recyclable cardboard items is free.
Smelly waste, wet waste or waste that can’t easily be transferred to a skip
without making a mess cannot be accepted. Hazardous waste, gas bottles,
items containing oil or fuel and tyres covered in dirt also can't be accepted.
Flax, cabbage tree leaves, trees or branches over 10cm in diameter, and
general rubbish cannot be included in green waste, but can be accepted as
general rubbish.
Only household quantities will
be accepted. Please ensure
you are able to unload your
own materials.
The drop-off days will be
at Hawkins Pit, Darfield, on
Sunday 29 October, 10am–4pm
and Cemetery Pit, Southbridge
Leeston Rd in late November.
This date will be
confirmed shortly.

Selwyn Fireworks Spectacular 2023
FUNDRAISER: The Selwyn Fireworks Spectacular attracts
thousands of people each year.
Continuing a tradition of
community support
SINCE ITS inception over two
decades ago in Rolleston, the
heart of Selwyn, the Selwyn
Fireworks Spectacular has
consistently drawn attention,
growing from a local gathering to
an event that attracts thousands
from across Canterbury.
Established to support notfor-profit
organisations in
their fundraising endeavours,
the event has faced numerous
challenges. It has weathered
relocation due to Rolleston’s
expansion, adaptation to new
venues, and more recently
the constraints of Covid-19
restrictions and the impacts of
inflation. Despite these hurdles,
the spectacular remains a
steadfast tradition in our
district.
Initiated by community
volunteers in co-operation with
the local fire brigade, the event
began with simple ambitions,
including a community bonfire.
Today, while drawing an
impressive crowd of over 10,000
attendees annually, the focus
remains – supporting our notfor-profit
entities. Last year, the
event’s success translated into
over $23,000 for participating
organisations.
The tireless efforts of
volunteers ensure the event’s
continuity and success. It’s
crucial to note that every ticket
sale and donation directly
finances the event’s logistics.
With the increasing economic
challenges, particularly inflation,
strategic management and
community support have become
more vital than ever in ensuring
oN sAle Now!
Now only
$35.80
Plus $5 P&H per copy
the spectacular’s future.
Financial prudence is
paramount. The event’s
longevity depends not only on
the funds raised but also on
diligent financial management,
guaranteeing its presence for
future Selwyn residents. The
responsibility will inevitably
transition to a new team,
and they will be tasked with
upholding its legacy, ensuring the
Selwyn Fireworks Spectacular
remains both a source of
community enjoyment and a
platform for vital fundraising.
This year, we invite you to
Foster Park on November 4 from
5pm.
Your support is instrumental
in maintaining this tradition,
and we look forward to your
participation.

Malvern set to mark a century
ONE HUNDRED years
of Malvern Tennis will be
celebrated on Saturday with a
display, ceremony and doubles
tennis tournament at the Kirwee
Domain, open to all past and
present Malvern players.
“The day is a chance for those
that have been part of Malvern
to catch up.
While we have
a tournament
on the day, we’re
also bringing
together displays
on the history
of Malvern
Jack
Prouting
Tennis,” said
Malvern Tennis
president Jack
Prouting.
“It’s a chance for past and
present players to catch up.”
He said there has been a fair
bit of reminiscing when looking
through the older photos, remembering
the people, the wins
– and those that got away.
Officially named the Malvern
Lawn Tennis Sub-Association,
it came into being in 1923 in a
meeting in Darfield between the
Sheffield, Hororata, Greendale
and Darfield tennis clubs, with
B. C. Rutherford elected inaugural
president.
Tennis in the district started
much earlier, with Robert
Coltart holding tennis parties
at Springfield, using his homemade
racquets and balls in the
1870s. It is believed the first club
formed in the district was Sheffield
in 1876.
By 1923, tennis was gaining in
popularity, cars were allowing
people to travel more easily, and
the Malvern Sub-Association
was formed to better co-ordinate
tennis.
In 1924, annual subs to Malvern
were set at 10 shillings a
club, Malvern colours (blue and
black) were agreed, and a representative
team of Malvern players
was set up, with 12 ladies and
12 gentlemen, to play against
City and Suburbs, Ashburton
and Oxford.
In 1925 the Deans Cup was
offered by W. Deans and his
wife, and was accepted as the
trophy for the local interclub
competition, with teams of 6
ladies and 6 gentleman, with all
matches played up to 6 games.
As the sport grew, a B Grade
competition was set up by 1933
with preference given to younger
players coming through.
The first Country Tennis event
was held at Wilding Park on December
5, 1936, with senior and
junior teams from Akaroa, Ellesmere,
Malvern, Mid-Canterbury
and North Canterbury playing
Christchurch city and suburban
clubs.
In the 1947-48 season Malvern
was playing great tennis, and
won the regional Browning
Shield competition against the
other districts.
This started a golden run for
Malvern who won 13 out of the
20 regional finals between 1948
and 1973.
Currently Malvern Tennis
covers seven clubs based at
Courtenay, Darfield, Hororata,
Kirwee, Sheffield, Weedons and
West Melton. Over time amalgamation
has happened, as in most
sports, with closures of clubs in
Coalgate, Glenroy, Greendale,
Kimberley, Springfield and View
Hill.
However tennis is still strong
in Malvern. While the traditional
Saturday tennis competitions
are less popular, with everyone
getting busier, there has been an
increase in junior tennis and the
Thursday night twilight tennis
summer competition has grown
greatly over the last five years.
The 100-year celebration,
tournament and displays are
open to anyone interested on
Saturday at the Kirwee Domain.
The day starts at 10.30am, the
tennis tournament runs 11am –
2.30pm, and at 3pm there will be
formalities in recognition of the
milestone.
If want to know more, or enter
the tournament contact Sally
Jenkins by email: kerkins@xtra.
co.nz or by phone: 021 215 2323.
Selwyn grade 10 score at SI tourny
SELWYN’S development squad
finished third at the South Island
tournament at Foster Park.
The under-10s boys’ team
represented the club across three
days, playing as two teams in
separate pools – Blacks and Blues.
Blue U10 went into the semifinals
on the back of a 4-0 win
against the Nomads, to claim
third place overall in the playoff
against Christchurch United
Blues.
Meanwhile, Black U10 initially
got a good 3-1 win against
Cashmere Technical but narrowly
lost on penalties in the third place
play off.
The club’s grade 10 girls also
performed admirably, winning
the plate, and securing victories
in five out of seven tournament
matches. Despite being knocked
out of the cup, they won all four
of their plate matches, making a
particularly thrilling comeback
in one match after sitting at 3-1 at
half time.
Coaches Lee Hinton, Keith
Prince, Shane Baskiville
and Martin Allen, and Greg
Williamson, Simon Grouse and
Simon Ball were thanked for their
continued dedication throughout
the tournament and over the year.

Recycled plastic – great
options for farmers
• By Isabelle Teresa
While reducing the use of plastic is
important, if it already exists, it’s best to
re-use it. There are excellent, NZ-made
recycled plastic products available for
some of the most core, functional tasks
on-farm.
Think fenceposts. You can’t get much
more kiwi than the classic wooden
fencepost, but these rot and crack.
They’re also treated with chromated
copper arsenate (CCA), which leaches
Horses chew wooden posts, not recycled plastic ones
into our soils and waters, is restricted in
many countries, and is not healthy for
the animals who chew the posts.
An NZ farmer of over 20 years
founded “Future Post” – 100% recycled
plastic fenceposts. Originally based in
Auckland, Future Post is expanding
operations into the South Island, and
their products are available online or
through BuildLink Selwyn. The posts
are non-conductive, approved for
organic use, don’t leach CCA, and stock
can’t chew them.
While the initial cost is higher, their
50+ year life expectancy makes up for
it. A simple way to introduce them into
your operations is to replace damaged
wooden posts one-by-one, or use them
for any new fence run.
Other kiwi-designed and recycled
plastic products include Tuffboard
– available through Plasback – and
Cleanstone, created by Critical. Both
replace plywood. Tuffboard is marketed
to farmers as a hygienic, strong option
suitable to make animal pens, signs,
barge boards under feed barriers and for
use in deer, sheep and cattle handling
pens. Cleanstone promotes itself for
hospitality and retail fitouts, residential
use, and most recently, school desk-tops.
Recycled by a Rolleston teenager
in his parents’ garage
And when it comes to kiwi
innovation, you can’t top Rolleston
teenager Levente Scott, featured on
Seven Sharp, for making recycled plastic
letterbox numbers from used Anchor
milk bottles, in his parents’ garage. Buy
these at BuildLink Selwyn or look up
Upcycled Plastics.
What all these products have in
common is their long and maintenancefree
life, and their ability to be worked
with in the same way as wood, with all
the normal tools and equipment. And
the fact that they revive materials that
otherwise would have been landfill,
buried or burned.
Any plastic that’s already here is here
to stay. May as well make best use of it.

Recycling plastic –
easy-to-use agri-services
• By Isabelle Teresa
October 16–22 is Recycling Week,
now in its 10th year. This nationwide
campaign reaches out to all sectors of
New Zealand society and business,
encouraging people to re-look at their
purchasing, waste and recycling practices
and to make improvements wherever
possible.
NZ farmers are lucky to have two
main recycling go-tos, Plasback and
Agrecovery.
Plasback
Buy liners from Plasback, with
different size options for farming and
for lifestyle blocks. Recycle items into
the different liners according to the five
“Streams”, then call Plasback to come and
collect when these are full. Couldn’t be
much easier!
There is a nominal collection charge,
except for ECOLAB blue drums, which
are free.
• Stream 1: Bale Wrap, silage pit covers,
small low density polyethylene (LDPE)
feed bags, shrink wrap and pallet covers.
• Stream 2: Large polypropylene feed
and fertiliser bags – half tonne and large
tonne.
• Stream 3, free collection: High
density polyethylene (HDPE) containers,
including ECOLAB blue drums – any
size from 1–60 L.
• Stream 4: Vineyard nets.
• Stream 5: Polypropylene twines from
farms and orchards.
Plasback also sells Tuffboard and Tuff
Deck products for farming use, from
100% recycled plastic and made in NZ.
Agrecovery
Agrecovery is a not-for-profit
charitable trust set up by the primary
industry to provide a sustainable solution
for agrichemicals and their packaging. Its
key message: “Don’t burn or dump – it’s
free to recycle!”
It specialises in containers of 0–60
litres, drums of 61–1,000 litres, and
free or subsidised disposal of unwanted
agrichemicals.
Over the last couple of years it
has been rolling out a new and wellreceived
scheme – recycling of LDPE
bags (No.4 plastic) and Woven PP bags
(No.5 plastic). LDPE accepted bags
now include BASF, Yara, Valagro, PGG
Wrightson Turf, Nufarm, DeLaval,
Kenso, Grosafe, Agritrade, PGG
Wrightson, Fruitfed Supplies, Country
Mile, NZAgbiz, Farmlands & PGG
Wrightson Seeds.
Agrecovery has multiple collection
sites across Selwyn (and nationwide),
plus collection events in areas without
permanent sites. Dropping materials to
their collection site is free – see their
website for latest details of the evergrowing
options. On-property collection
of certain items or quantities of items is

ocal triumph at
ational Alpaca Show
• By Isabelle Teresa
On that intense weather weekend at
the start of October, with rain, hail, and
tents aflapping, the National Alpaca
Show went ahead at the Canterbury A&P
Showgrounds – and a local breeder took
out a Supreme Award.
Sherlin Alpacas, run by husband-andwife
team Lindsay and Sheryl Riddle of
West Melton, was thrilled to receive the
Supreme Suri title for their boy “Albion”.
It was fitting reward for their 24 years of
dedication to alpaca breeding, and also
a pleasing circularity – at the very first
National Show in 2004, they also won the
Supreme Award for the other breed of
alpaca in their stables, the Huacaya. Few
NZ breeders have this double achievement.
The dreadlocked Suri are a more
unusual breed. Of the six million alpacas
worldwide, only six percent are Suri.
Lindsay insists that, despite appearances,
they are easy care, with the same day-today
nature and temperament as the sheepfleeced,
more popular Huacaya. “They’re
the same, just a different hair style!” he
jokes.
Sheryl and Lindsay came to the world
of alpacas almost by accident. Having
previously run Jumbo Prints photo centres
in Christchurch, they sold up and brought
land to get away from it all. Then Sheryl
saw some alpacas at an A&P Show, and fell
in love.
This artistic and retail background shines
through in their vision for the farm – they
set out to have both Suri and Huacaya,
in all the available colours. Alpacas have
six main colours, of which there are 240
variants. This attention to detail meant that
at one point they had up to 465 animals,
but this has now quietened down to around
120.
The on-farm shop, selling wools and
products in amazing colour ranges, is
highly popular, as are the farm tours. It’s
not uncommon for them to host six tours
a day, with groups from all around NZ and
also overseas. With the farm’s proximity
to the airport, cabin crews are frequent
visitors.
Impressively, Sheryl and Lindsay run this
entire operation themselves, calling on
their children and grandchildren and on
contractors as needed.
They’ve done things their own way,
and the rewards are paying off. Lindsay
is especially pleased to have won
this Supreme Award from the highly
experienced and internationally renowned
judges presiding at the Show.

Is your garden ready for
an El Niño summer?
It’s official – it’s going to be a long hot
summer. That’s what NIWA is saying, and
as the National Institute of Water and
Atmospheric Research, they should know.
For ordinary folk who don’t know
their El Niño from their La Niña, here’s
what it means in a nutshell: in Selwyn
we will have drier conditions, stronger
winds, more westerly winds, and dramatic
temperature swings.
All these things could play havoc with
your garden and lawns. At Freeman
Irrigation, we’re encouraging people to get
prepared. Being able to water is essential
– and being able to water smartly is a costeffective
necessity. We can help with both.
If you already have an irrigation system,
we can service it to ensure all is working
as it should, and issue your annual WOF.
If you don’t yet have irrigation, we are
your local experts. And don’t worry about
the project being time-consuming and
messy – we install our systems by mole
ploughing the pipework underground,
minimising damage to your existing
lawns, gardens and landscapes and
creating the no mess solution.
When it comes to managing your
watering, you may not be aware that
there’s been a quiet revolution in
controlling technologies. No more
fiddling with awkward, temperamental
manual timers. We can set you up
with the perfect solution for your
circumstances, from automated to rain
sensor to a WiFi system that runs from
your smartphone.
The new WiFi controllers connect
to weather stations and manage your
irrigation system’s timing and flow. For
example, if rain is forecast, the irrigation
won’t come on. What with water rates
being on the rise, saving water in this way
is not a luxury – it is a practical approach
that’s good for the planet as well as for
your wallet.
We’ve been providing these services and
more in Rolleston and across the South
Island, for coming up to 20 years now. So
contact us for any of:
• Residential & lifestyle blocks
• Servicing & maintenance
• Trenching & mole ploughing
• Drip-line applications for shelter belts &
gardens
• Commercial, horticultural & viticultural
options
• Parks, reserves & golf courses
• Subdivisions, residential and commercial
business parks
You’ll get a friendly welcome and free

for whatever this summer throws at us.

Nests in your spouting equals
all sorts of damage
Yes it’s that time of the year when the pesky starlings return to nest in your
spouting. Not only can that be noisy and dirty but their eggs and young chicks
can attract vermin.
These rats can then make their way inside your roof and even chew through
your wiring.
Local company Gumleaf Gutter Guard has the answer, with guards that protect
your costly spouting by not only preventing nesting birds but also from snow
damage and contamination of tank water, ensuring the safety and quality of the
water supply.
Another key advantage of Gumleaf Gutter Guard is that it prevents leaf litter
from gathering in the spouting. Leaf litter remains damp and acidic, which wrecks
spouting.
Company owner Rohan Rudd sums up the benefits by stating: “By having
Gumleaf Gutter Guard installed, the life of the spouting is extended to the life of
the roof.”
Materials and advice are available for both trade customers and DIY. Rohan
believes the gutter guard is 100% DIY-friendly: “As long as you have a head for
heights, installing Gumleaf gutter guarding is as easy as A B C – made even easier
with the guidance of our instructional PDFs and YouTube videos on our website.”
Developed in Australia more than 20 years ago, Gumleaf Gutter Guard has
been providing a quality and effective solution in New Zealand for the last decade.
Much of Rohan’s work comes from repeat business, customers being happy
with both the product quality and the service. Customers requesting a quote
will receive it within 24 hours, and Rohan says he will “go anywhere to provide a
quote”.
He is also available Monday to Saturday to speak to customers who call. “Even if
I am working on a job, I will talk to anyone who calls me”, he says.
Gumleaf is now working with Ben Kruger of Alps Spouting to provide for all
your spouting needs. Alps has been installing Gumleaf Gutter Guard for the last
ten years, making this an ideal partnership.

Landscape design: call on
professional inspiration
For many homeowners, planning their
own gardens is one of the joys of owning
a property. So it makes sense to maximise
the excitement and opportunities of this
creative project by calling on professional
advice.
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design, of Tai
Tapu, has been sharing her expertise with
Selwyn residents for over 30 years. She
says: “One of the things I love about my
job is getting to know my clients and help
them bring their dreams to fruition.”
A good way to start is with a
consultation to discuss your ideas. From
there, Sharon will produce a design
concept and a planting schedule to create
a garden that’s unique to you and your
lifestyle.
When you call on a professional
designer, you’re accessing their
experience, design flair, and knowledge
and connections. Those who live and
breathe this work every day often have
design and planting ideas or innovative
landscape options that the home gardener
hadn’t considered, Sharon says.
At this time of year, too, the plant
nurseries are well stocked with new
plants and shrubs ready for planting in all
areas of the garden. Having a landscape
plan ensures that you’re maximising
that potential by placing plantings in
appropriate settings and conditions where
they will thrive.
Homeowners have the option of
implementing the plan to fruition
themselves, or alternatively, Sharon can
recommend contractors from her trusted
network who will come to the property
and offer quotes for the work.
As the end of year gets closer,
contractors are already getting booked
up, so anyone wanting work done before
the festive season will need to act quickly,
Sharon advises. However, there will be
more availability in January and February,
with weeks of warm weather still ahead
for homeowners to enjoy their newly
designed outdoor area.
No matter how much kiwis love DIY,
it’s undeniable that having your paving
or decking area professionally designed
and executed will give your landscaping
that professional edge, which in turn adds
value to the property.
So, kick off the process by contacting
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design to

Medium Density Housing
provisions in Selwyn – what
does it mean for you?
Your District Council’s residential areas have
changed zoning because of the Partially Operative
District Plan becoming notified. Where the
Council previously had different zones that
varied between townships, it has reduced these
to five main zones allowing for different densities
based on the needs and character of different
communities.
One of these zones, which was introduced
as a result of the 2021 introduction of the
Government’s National Policy Statement for
Medium Density Residential Standards (NPS-
MDRS), is the Medium Density Residential Zone.
All Councils with Tier 1 residential areas were
forced to allow for higher density to help with the
housing crisis.
Now, on relevant residential sites in Lincoln,
Rolleston and Prebbleton, it is possible to build up
to three dwellings of three storeys (11 metres) high,
without any consent required from neighbours.
When you think of Medium Density Housing,
you may think of long connected terraces of
apartments, closely spaced houses built “one
behind the other”. It isn’t compulsory to undertake
a development of this density, however, it does
open opportunity for property owners to retain
their existing dwelling on their site and build on
the rear.
The zoning removes the need to comply with
minimum lot area requirements, and you can
subdivide once these are consented. This could
be a dwelling for family members, a property to
sell, or a rental property for a passive income. You
may want a new easy-care home on the site, in the
area you know and love, and rent out your existing
house. Plenty of options!
Keen to explore this process, but don’t know
where to start? At Survus, we pride ourselves on
making things easy, and have teamed up with
partners to offer a ‘one stop shop’.
We offer a free on-site consultation where we
can discuss your needs and explain the building
and subdivision processes. We can provide a layout
plan for your proposed subdivision alongside
concept plans for your proposed new dwelling (or
two), with full investment proposals for build and
subdivision, including legal fees. All of this is at no
initial cost.
As surveyors and property advisors who have
moved with the times since 1957, we see demand
for ordinary ‘mum and dad’ homeowners wanting
to develop their site without the hassle of having
to manage everything. Interested to know your
options? Give us a call.

Placing sculpture in
your garden – logistics
• By Isabelle Teresa
So you’ve decided to place a sculpture
in your garden. Whether this is a
commissioned/purchased artwork,
your own creation, something salvaged,
something that caught your eye in a
gallery or shop, big or small, static or
kinetic… sculpture can work in any
size garden. Here are some logistics to
consider.
Transport and installation
Sculptures range from small items you
can carry in and silicone down to prevent
a casual thief, to requiring a hiab truck
and a traffic management plan!
If your piece is large and/or heavy, how
is the access to your chosen spot? Can
the necessary type of vehicle reach the
location? Or can the work be managed on
a sack barrow?
What type of ground is the work going
on… earth? Sand? Paved terrace? If dirt,
is it soft? Do you need a concrete slab to
keep it level? Or due to weight or height,
do you need a concrete footer dug into the
ground to anchor it?
Environmental factors
Part of the beauty of outdoor sculpture
is that the environment affects it – the
artwork isn’t static. Sun, wind, the way
the rain drips from it, cobwebs, moss and
lichen – all these natural aspects interact
with the piece.
Metals will develop a patina – the
surface will appear to change colour
over time, from oxidisation. If you’re in a
high salt spray zone, the finish on corten
steel will change, steel may rust and
bronzes will change colour, sometimes
dramatically. You may choose to stabilise
the patina by waxing it twice a year.
For other materials that may be subject
to corrosion or weathering, you – or the
artist – may choose to apply a protective
element, that becomes part of the artwork.

‘skunk
cabbage’
PERFECT FOR brightening pond
edges, lysichiton americanus is
native to parts of northwestern
America, and thrives in boggy areas,
growing in marshes, swamps
and forested wetlands.
The unfortunate, but more
familiar, common name “skunk
cabbage” refers to its musty smell;
the plant uses its smell to attract
pollinators such as flies and
beetles.
This herbaceous perennial
forms a basal rosette of large
glossy leaves growing up to 1.5m
in length. The spadix, which is
covered in small greenish-yellow
flowers in the right conditions,
can also reach over 1m in height
and is surrounded by a bright
vibrant yellow spathe.
Adult plants take about five
years to seed. You can propagate
by division or from its berry-like
fruit, however these will require
stratification – a technique to
artificially create cool winter
conditions so once sown, the seed
thinks it is spring. Alternatively,
if left alone, this slow-spreading
plant propagates itself by fallen
seed from the wilting spadix.
–ODT
OCTOBER IS an important
month in the garden calendar.
Seeds sown this month pop up
quickly and there are usually few
checks to growth during the early
summer months.
The ideal time to sow seeds is
as soon as the soil is fit to work
after rain but in dry weather,
water the ground well the day
before sowing.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Sowing the seeds of spring
Vegetables
To obtain successive crops
of peas, sow a quick-maturing
variety and a main crop now.
Novella will produce plump pods
in nine to 11 weeks from sowing.
Greenfeast takes 11 to 13 weeks
so, by sowing them at the same
time, the later crop is ready as
the first tails off.
Peas require only a little lime
and grow best where the summer
is not too hot or dry. Keep the
soil moist by working in plenty of
compost or well-rotted manure.
To offset dry, light soil, sow peas
in trenches of compost with a
layer of absorbent material, such
as peat or sphagnum moss, in the
bottom to hold moisture. Cover
the compost with a thin (5cm)
layer of ordinary soil and keep
the top of the trench 2cm to 5cm
below the surrounding ground.
Asparagus may still be planted.
Two- or three-year-old crowns,
looking rather like small octopuses,
can be bought from
garden centres and give faster
results than growing from seed.
The most important factor in
succeeding with this hardy
perennial vegetable is well-prepared
ground, rich in compost
and ideally with seaweed worked
into it. Allow 40cm between each
plant, place in position 10cm
below the ground, spreading the
roots as widely as possible, then
cover with fine soil. Avoid the
temptation to harvest in the first
year and the reward will be better
crops in the future.
Flowers
Narcissi and other bulbous
plants that have finished flowering
must be left for another
couple of months until their
leaves die away. Until that happens,
leaves are creating food for
the bulbs. If bulbs have to be removed
after flowering but before
the leaves have died down, lift
carefully with the leaves intact.
Lay bulbs in shallow trenches,
cover with soil and lift again
when the foliage has died away.
A widespread curse is the
narcissus fly, which looks like a
small bumble-bee and lays its
eggs in November at the base of
the foliage. The grub hatches and
burrows into the bulb, where it
grows to resemble a large maggot,
turning the centre of the
bulb into brown sludge. Covering
the bulbs after flowering with
fine shade cloth or pea straw
will keep out the flies but is not
a good look. Growing narcissi
in pots, then covering with pea
straw after flowering and putting
the pots out of sight under cover
can be a better option.
Some gardeners say a puff of
household fly spray in the centre
of the bulb helps deter the flies,
while an old English technique
is to place a mothball on top of
each bulb when planting new
bulbs, as the camphor smell
repels the grubs.

to the mixed border or pathway.
It flourishes in well-limed soil
and self-seeds freely.
Fruit
Even in a small garden, some
fruit can be grown, notably
strawberries and gooseberries.
Strawberries can be grown in
a ceramic planter or used as a
border to a garden bed, while
gooseberries lend themselves to
being grown as standards in pots.
They also can be planted along
a wire or fence, a simple form of
espaliering that makes the fruit
easier to harvest.

ZR-V a premium passenger experience
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
HONDA IS looking to take the
sales fight to its many mid-sized
urban SUV rivals with its new
ZR-V, one of the most complete
all round models we’ve seen from
the company in ages in this part
of the world.
In essence, it’s an SUV spin-off
of the thoroughly competent
Honda Civic. With that quality
DNA underpinning it, the ZR-V
is much more capable than your
typical urban SUV. It replaces
the popular HRV that ended its
successful run on our market 18
months ago. With no suitable
replacement available out of
Japan until 2025, Honda here
decided to whistle up the ZR-V
as an interim replacement. It
is sold in North America, as a
larger version of the HRV and
does exceptionally well in one
of the world’s toughest new car
markets.
For Honda, the ZR-V delivers
the company’s next-level hybrid
electrification technology. The
ZR-V Sport uses a new 2.0L
e:HEV direct injection petrol
engine with two electric motors
for a collective power output of
135kW and 315Nm of torque. If
that doesn’t peak your interest,
there’s the option of a 1.5L direct
injection turbo that has been a
staple of the Honda range for
eight years.
The hybrid powertrain is
exclusive to the flagship $55,000
ZR-V Sport but not the with
$47,000 turbo provided for this
road test. It’s the same price
as the Civic sedan but more
appealing being larger, offering
on-trend SUV styling, and a
whole lot more versatility and
practicality. Changes to the
government clean car fee scheme
from July 1 mean many Hybrids
including the ZR-V no longer
qualify for a rebate now tougher
emission thresholds are in place.
The turbo being reviewed here
gets clubbed with a $2,415 fee,
bringing it closer in price to the
more fuel efficient and refined
hybrid ZR-V Sport.
Honda claims this newest
addition to their stable is smoothriding
and comfortable, has a
well designed interior, clean
modern styling, and leading
edge connectivity. While hardly
an unbiased assessment of the
ZR-V’s abilities, it defies the
pundits, and delivers in real
world driving on many of these
claims, although some more
emphatically than others.
Size wise the ZR-V is smaller
than the soon to be replaced
CRV and probably closer in size
to the Mazda CX5. It’s a nicely
proportioned SUV with clean,
modern, yet distinctive lines and
visually sufficiently different to
stand out from a rapidly growing
pack of competitors. LED
lighting is used extensively for
the exterior, along with daytime
running lights, parking lights
and fog lamps.
Punting the test vehicle along
with plenty of intent is an
upgraded version of Honda’s
stalwart 1.5 turbo engine. It is
good for 131kW of power and
240Nm of torque – both decent
enough numbers for an engine
of this size. Torque comes into
play from just 1700rpm, although
it’s more about work than play as
it unearths plenty of low-speed
pulling power.
In real world driving the motor
is flexible with good throttle
response. It’s quieter in the
higher rev range, to the point
where you aren’t looking to turn
up the sound system to counter
engine noise. A much-improved
Constant Variable Transmission
(CVT) is shared with the Honda
Civic and features Normal
and Eco driving modes and a
user-selectable Sport mode. It’s
a transmission that rarely puts
a foot wrong and feels a good
match to this feisty compact
turbo engine.
A generously proportioned
cabin and equally commodious
rear a cargo hatch is among the
best in the compact urban SUV
class. A 60-40 split rear seat
quickly folds down for more
load space. Quality is one of
the lasting impressions of the
passenger compartment, and you
can only admire the methodical
way Honda have gone about
achieving this. Much of this is
down to the generous use of
quality materials throughout the
cabin, especially on touch points.
Plenty of effort has also gone
into providing a premium look
and feel to the switchgear and
controls.
ZR-V Sport and Turbo are
the first models to feature new
Honda Connect emergency
services. This alerts these services
if it detects the vehicle’s airbags
have been activated. A 7-inch
color LCD driver’s display offers
a vast range of user information.
It shows the status of various
Honda Sensing safety and
driver-assist systems, including
brake lights, headlights and turn
signals that switch on and off
with those functions. In addition
to large, easy-to-recognize icons
and a simplified navigation
structure with fewer embedded
menus, the touchscreen features
a proper volume knob and hard
buttons for Home and Back
functions.
An excellent new singlecamera
system offers better
visibility. Combined with
software advances and a new,
more powerful processor, the
system is capable of more quickly
and accurately spotting hazards,
along with road lines and
signs. Honda Sensing also adds
Traffic Jam Assist, and the new
camera-based system improves

Overall points out of
10: 7
on existing functionality. It also
offers a more natural steering
action when using the Lane
Keeping Assist System.
Well-sorted suspension and
steering are the cornerstones
of an agile and nicely balanced
urban SUV, that is right at
ease with taking charge on our
roads and often-tricky weather
and driving conditions. The
suspension reacts decisively
and is a calming influence in
steadying the car in response to
sudden and unexpected changes
in the road surface.
In around-town driving the
ride may be a bit firm for some.
I didn’t mind it at all and liked
the way it gives the test vehicle
a sportier character than most
of its Japanese and Korean
competitor. However, it’s still
shaded by the more accomplished
European offerings in this
market segment.

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

taken
after big
pokie win
• 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
bag.
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.

While SPCA has tried for years to work with the
greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,
the organisation says the industry has been unable to
adequately address its animal welfare problems.
The animal welfare group believes it is clear the
greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare
obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand
society. A recent survey carried out by an independent
research company on behalf of SPCA reports that
74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound
racing in a referendum.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Why use a Mortgage Broker?
23
Home loans and mortgages can be
confusing and complex, with which
bank or lender to apply, interest rates
and terms, and the initial application
process. Making the right choice is
crucial, so receiving the expert advice of
a mortgage broker may offer a solution
to a stressful situation.
What is a mortgage broker?
A mortgage broker is a financial
adviser who is a go-between for the
borrower and a lender to get the
required loan. They specialise in the
mortgage market, loan products, lender
policies, interest rates, and the mortgage
application process to give you tailored
advice. They may also refer borrowers to
other services in the purchasing process,
including lawyers, valuers, or builders.
Louise Taylor from The Mortgage
Girls suggests several reasons why a
mortgage broker may be beneficial:
• Mortgage brokers have access to a
wide network of multiple lenders,
including all the banks, meaning
they can offer you a broader range of
mortgage options and opportunities
to secure a loan successfully.
Although the broker usually receives
a commission from lenders, they
work on your behalf, not the banks.
Often, brokers have strong
relationships with lenders and
can negotiate to secure the most
favourable terms, better interest rates
and other incentives, including cash
contributions.
• Time and effort can be saved as
brokers simplify the process and
guide borrowers through substantial
documentation, from first-home
buyers with limited knowledge of
the process to investors and
experienced property developers.
• A broker will assess your financial
situation and long-term goals to
recommend a mortgage solution
that best suits your needs.
They build relationships and provide
personalised and customised
solutions for each borrower. They
may suggest holding off submitting
applications that will be unsuccessful
and instead work with customers to
put plans in place to work towards
success. They also remind customers
when interest rates are due to come
off fixed terms and explore options
to refix, restructure or refinance.
• Reputable mortgage brokers work
in your best interest to provide
transparent information to give you
peace of mind. Louise advises
customers to go onto websites, read
potential brokers’ profiles, choose
3–4 brokers to ring and ask questions
to see if they are relatable and a
good fit.
Louise’s tips for getting a mortgage
approved include having good account
conduct, keeping up payments, limiting
debt and cash withdrawals, avoiding
overdrafts, Afterpay and regular
gambling.
Utilising a mortgage broker can be
a wise decision when navigating the
complex world of borrowing. They offer
expert guidance, give access to multiple
lenders, save time and money and help
you secure the best mortgage deal for
your needs and financial circumstances.
