Chance to remove chlorine
goes down the gurgler
Residents
won’t have
their say
• By Daniel Alvey
CHLORINATION looks like it
will stay in the district’s water
supply.
Councillors have decided
the pursuit of chlorination
exemptions won’t be one of
the ‘four big decisions’ for the
community, when it comes to
how money will be spent in the
2024-34 Long Term Plan.
Councillors voted 7-3 at
its workshop last week in
favour of the move, effectively
meaning
they will
not pursue
chlorine
exemptions.

Sophie McInnes and
Ellesmere Ward councillor
Elizabeth Mundt were the only
ones to support it remaining a
big decision.
Springs Ward councillors
Grant Miller and Debra
Hasson, Rolleston Ward
councillors Nicole Reid and
Phil Dean, Ellesmere Ward
councillor Shane Epiha, and
Malvern Ward councillors Bob
Mugford and Lydia Gliddon
did not want it to be a big
decision.
Deputy mayor Malcolm
Lyall was absent.
For the council to seek up to
17 exemptions and carry out
required upgrades, it would
have cost about $82.6 million
– the cost of upgrading the
systems and adding increased
monitoring to ensure the system
remained safe.
The project would have increased
rates by a further $231
per year for the foreseeable
future, on top of the forecast 16
per cent rates rise.
“I’d have liked to see the
chlorination issue as one
of our big decisions as I’m
keen that we get a clear view
from our community on the
matter, however we encourage
the public to feedback on
all aspects of the plan, so no
matter where the issue sits in
the document, I expect to hear
our community’s views on the
subject,” Broughton said.
The big decisions heading to
the community cover a new
library and community facility
in Leeston and an upgrade
to Leeston Park, park-andride
facilities in Lincoln and
Rolleston, and a new indoor
sports facility in Darfield.

Developers mow fire risk berm
DEVELOPERS OF a
240-section subdivision in
Lincoln have mowed their
berm after it was deemed a
fire risk.
An article in the January
17 Selwyn Times highlighted
how berms being
left unmowed escalate the
fire risk.
Fire risk is already high
with areas north of the
Rakaia River entering a
prohibited fire season last
week. A prohibited fire
season means no open-air
fires are allowed and all
fire permits are suspended.
After the article appeared
the council contacted
the landowner, Lime

the grass, which was done

IT WILL be business as usual
for the Lincoln Medical Centre,
despite new ownership.
The Gerald St practice is being
bought by two hapū and a charitable
trust.
Paenga Kupenga Ltd (the
economic arm of Kaiapoi-based
Ngāi Tūāhuriri), Taumutu Partnerships
(the economic arm of
Southbridge-based Te Taumutu
Rūnanga) and Pegasus Health
Ltd have set up a new venture,
with the medical centre being its
first purchase.
Said Pegasus
Health chief
executive Kim
Sinclair-Morris:
“Paenga
Kupenga,
Taumutu
Partnerships
and Pegasus
Health share a
commitment
to developing
a sustainable primary care
network in Waitaha that delivers
excellent care, equity and access
to health care for Māori and
priority populations.”
Despite that commitment, for
now there will be no changes to
how the centre operates or its
patients, name or location.
“There are no plans to change
the way in which the Lincoln
Medical Centre operates and no
changes are planned to the way
in which enrolments are made,”
Sinclair-Morris said.

NEW OWNERS: Lincoln Medical Centre is being bought by
two hapū and a charitable trust. ​
She said the current owners
and staff are staying on, and any
enrolled patients can expect the
same level of service.
“Lincoln Medical Centre
was chosen as the first practice
in our portfolio as it is a
sustainable business which
delivers excellence in primary
care, providing us with an
opportunity to explore and
develop practice ownership
while learning from its owners
and wider team.”
Sinclair-Morris would not say
how much the partnership was
paying for the practice, citing
commercial sensitivity.
Sinclair-Morris said they will
be exploring future options as
part of the partnership, with no
specific plans as yet.
“Our supply of investment
capital is limited, and we must
continue to ensure we have resources
to deliver on our wider
charitable objectives before
considering further investment
opportunities.
“We are beginning with
practice investments that are
aligned to our purpose and role.
As the returns from our investments
grow, we will be able to
invest sustainably in community
programmes with a focus on
equity and access to healthcare,”
Sinclair-Morris said.
Selwyn Times contacted
Lincoln Medical Centre with
questions about the purchase. It

Council
removes
chlorine
from list
• From page 1
Chlorine has been a contentious
issue since it was forced upon
the councils in 2021 by drinking
water regulator Taumata Arowai.
In the 2021-31 LTP, the council
committed to getting a clear understanding
of the cost and time
it would take to remove chlorine.
During that process, it became
apparent the removal would come
at a significant cost, and supplies
would still require intermittent
chlorination.
Rolleston Ward
councillor Nicole
Reid said taking
out the chlorine
would be too
risky in bigger
supplies such as
Rolleston.
Nicole Reid
“I think we
are opening a big
minefield that we
can’t do anything about.
“This is literally the only place
that I have lived that wasn’t chlorinated,”
Reid said.
Council will still put
information into the public
consultation as to why they chose
not to pursue the exemptions.
Rakaia Huts
JUST AS the council pulls the
pin on chlorine exemptions, the
Rakaia Huts has been granted
one – but the removal of the
chlorine is still a long
way down the line, if at
all.
On Thursday, the
council became the first
in the country to receive
a residual disinfection
exemption from water
regulator Taumata
Arowai to remove chlorine
from a water supply.
The exemption comes
with a set of criteria, which is the
next step for the council to meet.
Criteria includes installing smart
meters that actively measure
water flow, and additional water
quality testing.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
gets exemption
• By Daniel Alvey
Sharon
Mason
Rakaia Huts has about 85 permanent
residents.
“Just because we may have been
granted the exemption it doesn’t
mean to say we are going to take
up that opportunity,”
council chief executive
Sharon Mason said.
“Now we will work
through the appropriate
governance channels,
which will then
provide guidance and
recommendations on
possible next steps.”
The cost of required upgrades
is about $217,000.
The council first applied for
the exemption in September
2022. It was refused in April last
year, after which it changed its
application to meet the criteria set
out by Taumata Arowai.
Community to
sports facilities
• By Daniel Alvey
THE COUNCIL has confirmed
the big decisions it will present
to the community as part of the
plan for the next 10 years in the
district.
The big decisions are the key
questions the council wants to
gather community feedback on
to help form its 2024-34 Long
Term Plan.
The decisions heading to
the community cover a parkand-ride
facility to be built in
Lincoln and two to be built in
Rolleston, a new library and
community facility in Leeston,
an upgrade to Leeston Park, and
a new indoor sports facility in
Darfield.
The community decisions may
also have an impact on rates.
Currently, the council is forecasting
a 16 per cent average rate
rise. For each big decision, there
is one budgeted option which
forms the rate rise.
If the community were to
decide it wanted something different
to the budgeted option, it
could either raise or lower rates.
The removal of chlorine was
also set to be in the LTP, but
was removed by councillors last
week, who deemed the project
too costly.
Big decision one covers public
transport and the potential for
park-and-ride facilities to be
built in Lincoln and two to be
built in Rolleston.
While Environment Canterbury
operates the Metro service,
it is the job of the council to provide
the infrastructure, such as
bus shelters and park-and-ride
facilities.
The council will present three
options. Option one is to build
the new park-and-ride facilities,
but only if it receives 51 per cent
co-funding from NZ Transport
Agency Waka Kotahi. It would
increase rates by $7.94 in years
one to three and $19.70 by year
four of the LTP.
Option two is to complete
the project regardless of NZTA
funding. It would increase rates
by $15.58 in years one to three
and $38.63 by year four of the
LTP.
Option three is to build nothing
until the next LTP in 2027.
Big decision two covers Leeston
and is split into two sections.
Big decision two A covers the
future of a new community centre
and potential sports centre.
Option one is to keep the
existing library and have no

new community space, costing
$3.3 million due to the required
building upgrades to get it up to
code.
Option two is the construction
of a new building at Leeston Park
with an option for an extended
community space, costing up to
$19.24 million, and is the budgeted
option.
Option three is the construction
of a new building with an
extended sports space and/or a
meeting space, costing $18.24
million.
Option four is to use a standardised
design that would be
cheaper to build but would offer
less, costing $15.21 million.
Options two, three and four
will receive 19.5 per cent of the
funding from development contributions.
Big decision two B is the upgrade
of Leeston Park.
The first option is to do nothing
apart from the required safety
upgrades, costing $143,000.
Option two is to make a lowlevel
enhancement to the park
with LTP-funded items only, offering
limited or partial improvements
to key features such as
toilets, parking, and sports field,
costing $3.4 million, and is the
budgeted option.
Option three is to complete
the full masterplan which includes
the extensively upgraded
playground area and footpaths,
with additional park furniture,
signage, and landscaping
throughout costing $9.49 million
over 15 years.
Option two and three will receive
28.6 per cent of the funding
from development contributions.

Black Door Bar:
Site considered for

RESIDENTIAL housing is one
of the options being considered
for the site of a restaurant which
was destroyed by fire in August.
The 1012sq m site in Robert
St, Lincoln remains empty after
the Black Door Bar and Eatery
building was demolished in
December, as it was deemed too
damaged to repair.
Building owner Anita Alder
said they are looking at all
options for the site, including
residential housing.
“We are currently considering
options and working through
these with architects and builders.”
Alder bought the building in
2016. She understands the original
building was built in 1890.
“However when we purchased,
very little of the original
building remained as it had
been remodelled many times
over the years and what was left
we replaced, as it was mostly
rotten and damaged through
neglect.”
In 2021, the property had an
estimated value of $730,000.
Black Door Bar and Eatery
owner Lauren Fisher said they
are still looking for a new
building to move the business
into.
“We are still searching for
a new premise to bring Black
Door back to you, but it is

Battle with ovarian cancer spurs trek
• By Daniel Alvey
WHEN WENDY Gerritsen was
diagnosed with ovarian cancer
it was nearly too late, now she’s
hopping on her horse to get her
message out.
Gerritsen, 54, of Rolleston will
spend the next month riding
around the South Island on her
horse Anmoch to mark ovarian
cancer awareness month.
She started in Oxford on the
weekend and expects to finish in
Melwood on March 2.
For the first week of her journey,
she will be riding with her
daughters Alex, 20, and Sarah,
19. Then she will be mostly riding
solo for the reminder.
Between towns, the horses will
be loaded into a horse trailer
driven by her husband Stuart.
The money raised on her ride
will go to the Ovarian Cancer
Foundation to assist with research.
She was first diagnosed in
April 2021.
“It was definitely a shock and
I was pretty jolly sick to be fair,’
Gerritsen said.
After an appointment with her
doctor, she was sent for a scan
almost immediately.
The scan indicated a growth
on her ovary and by the end of
the week she had become very
sick, putting her in the hospital.
There, doctors drained five litres
of fluid from her stomach.
“That was my week of freedom,
with not having a big tummy, by
the end of the week it was huge
again.”
She ended up back in hospital,
where doctors drained a further
seven litres of fluid from her.
Following this, Gerritsen was
diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian
cancer.
Stage three is when the cancer
is in one or both ovaries and has
spread beyond the pelvis to the
lining of the abdomen, the bowel
or lymph nodes in the abdomen
or pelvis.
After the diagnosis, she started
chemotherapy. She went through
three rounds of chemotherapy
and a debulking operation,
before another three rounds of
chemotherapy, after which she
thought the cancer was gone.
“Nine months later it came
back so then we did another five
rounds of chemo. It shrunk most
of the cancer but still left some.”
Following this, she had five
more rounds of chemotherapy,
HORSEBACK: Wendy Gerritsen is trekking around
the South Island on her horse, Anmoch, who she got
just before she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, to
raise awareness for the disease.
then a seven-month break, then
another five rounds of chemotherapy,
the last of which was in
November.
Gerritsen is back to having
three-monthly checks with her
oncologist to monitor her cancer.
“I’ve still got three tumours
in there that they could see, but
they are less than half a centimetre.”
“You’ve just got to try not to
think too much about it and just
get on with life.”
Gerritsen has been passionate
about horses most of her life
and started riding when she was
eight.
She got Anmoch as a young
horse just before her diagnosis.
Gerritsen said Anmoch has
given her something to take her
mind off cancer as well as goals
to look forward to.
By riding Anmoch through
towns she is hoping to raise
awareness for ovarian cancer,
and make her conquest more
visible as well.
Gerritsen said people need to
be aware of the symptoms, even
if they don’t seem to be

Goldie collection to be auctioned
• By Daniel Alvey
PAINTINGS BY iconic
artist Charles Goldie will be
auctioned off by the family of
late Mainfreight co-founder Neil
Graham – and one could set a
new record.
The unique collection of
Māori portraits will be sold
by Auckland auction house
Art+Object on March 25.
The Christchurch rich-lister
assembled the pieces between

Reverie, Ena

painted
in 1916
and sold for
$1.83 million
last year. ​
2005 and 2013 before he died in
2015 aged 71.
Goldie, who was considered
the finest painter of kaumātua
and people of importance, died
in 1947 aged 76.
One of Graham’s sons, Lincoln
resident Dean Graham, shed
some light on what’s happened to
the paintings.
“They are currently in an art
storage place.”
Dean said the paintings were
the pride of his dad’s art collection.
“He loved the Goldies . . . It
wasn’t so much the value of
them, it was just the matter of
how amazing they were to look
at.”
“He had them all on a wall in
his lounge between his TVs, all
temperature-controlled, with art
lights, and alarms.”
Dean said neither he nor his
brother and sister have a place
to do them justice and keep the
paintings protected.
“At our places with kids and
cats, it makes it bloody hard. So
we just figured someone should
enjoy them now and we can see
them enjoy it and get the
thrill out of owning them
like dad did.”
Former Robert
McDougall and
Christchurch Art Gallery
curator and independent
art valuer Neil Roberts
said there is potential
for the auction to break
records.
“Two or three million
dollars (for a painting) is
not unreasonable, New Zealand
only in the last decade or so
has started to get prices past $1
million,” Roberts said.
He also said because multiple
pieces are going up at once,
they are more likely to achieve a

higher sales value compared to
the sale of just one.
Colin McCahon’s 1982 painting
holds the current record for
the most expensive New Zealand
artwork, Is there anything of
which one can say look
this is new? which sold
for $2.45m in September
2022.
Last year, one of
Goldie’s most historically
significant
portraits Reverie, Ena
te Papatahi, of the
Ngāpuhi chieftainess,
was repatriated to New
Zealand.
It was purchased
by private collectors Chris and
Virginia Anderson for a new
world auction record for Goldie,
at AU$1,718,182 (NZ$1.83m).
“I started doing some research
about the painting and I saw

about the way it’s been held out
of the country to enhance its
wealth to overseas collectors,
so I thought it’d be a good one
to bring back home,” Chris
Anderson told the NZ Herald.
Roberts said it is unlikely
the paintings will be sold to an
overseas buyer with current
regulations in the Antiquities
Act, which protects New Zealand
artwork.
“They have to make an
application to actually send those
paintings out of the county and
if there is an objection to that
they won’t go.
“Because the portraits are
connected with various tribes,
that’s where the objection would
be.”
Before the paintings are
sold they will be exhibited in
Christchurch in March.

Lincoln High’s Nepal trip: Reflecting on
lessons learned outside the classroom
At the end of last year,
29 Lincoln High School
students travelled
to Nepal with World
Challenge, a global
experiential travel
provider
for schools.
Deputy
principal
Kylie
Horgan
reports
CURRENTLY there is a great
deal of conversation going on
in our political, educational
and community spheres about
our schools and the education
they provide. There is a specific
focus on literacy and numeracy,
the traditional ‘core’ skills, and
knowledge that we believe our
young people need to have to
thrive in a changing world.
As I read the journal entries
shared by the 28 students who
took part in the World Challenge
expedition, I see that they are
taking something much more
precious than reading or writing
with them into the futures they
build for themselves and the
communities they contribute to.
The LHS World Challenge
team that boarded the plane
at Christchurch airport in
November returned three weeks
later with more understanding
of the privilege they had, an understanding
of the importance
and impact one person can have
upon another, a desire to ‘give
back’ more in their communities
and a feeling of wellbeing that
only comes from doing good for
others.
The eight-day trek in the Langtang
Valley was challenging.
Day one was nothing short of
gruelling with an altitude of 1100

Zoe Fenton carrying
blocks to build two new
classrooms as part of their
school project.
metres ascended over 11km. Step
after step the students challenged
both their mental and physical
fitness. But over these eight days,
friendships and bonds were
created through extreme shared
experiences as they trekked from
village to village, immersing
themselves in the lives of the
Nepalese communities they
passed along the way.
The experience included connecting
with children, building
relationships with our Nepalese
support team of porters and
sherpas, visiting stupa and
memorials from the Langtang
landslide, experiencing the
impact that the support of local
trade can have upon a family,
helping prepare meals, meditating
in monasteries only a few
metres from handwritten texts
that are thousands of years old
and having the timing of your
trip coinciding with the visit of a
Holy Lama to the area.
To top this all off, as long as
altitude symptoms or other sickness
didn’t prevent, they were
able to ascend one of two peaks
of 4400m and/or 4700m.
The second component of the
expedition was the community
work. The two teams - Lang and
Tang, named after the Langtang
valley – participated in a community
project in a small rural
school close to the bustling city
of Pokhara, either before the trek
or following the trek, depending
on the team.
Where the trek component can
be at times an individual pursuit,
the community project required
the teams to come together in
pursuit of a shared goal that was
for the benefit of a community
that was not their own.
The ‘welcomes’ to the schools
and communities was a tearjerker.
The air was thick and
heavy with gratitude, love, and
happiness from the Nepalese
people it almost choked you with
emotion. The students were overwhelmed
as for many of them, it
was the first time they had ever
experienced such a strong community
connection.
Intergenerational families,
students and staff were all
present to welcome us to their
humble community, laying the
students with wreaths of flowers
and blessing their temples with
red chalk.
I purposefully stood back to
the side of the gate entrance to
observe the awe and amazement
of our young people as they
experienced this for the first
time. I remember thinking to
myself – you can’t learn this in a
classroom. You can’t learn this in
a book. But in many ways, these
are some of the most important
educational opportunities that
our young people can have. This
is what builds character, values
diversity, builds resilience and
embraces change and growth.
And these are, in many ways,
what will create successful futures
and communities. Futures
where our young people have
pushed themselves mentally and
physically and now feel like they
can do anything.
“Nepal has changed my perspective
on what is happening
around me and to me. I hiked for
eight days and helped in a school
– I feel like I can do anything,”
one student said.
In the two schools in which
they worked, the students
contributed to extensive maintenance
work, carried blocks and
sand up a hill to the school to
help build two new classrooms,
painted alphabets and numbers
onto classroom walls, painted
murals and also spent time playing
and engaging with students.
The impact they had in these
schools and subsequently the
impact the experience had
upon our LHS challengers was
significant.
CONNECTION: Team Lang members at the 4400m
peak of Langtang with Jangbu Sherpa. Right – Max
Wilson from Team Tang with two students at their
school project just outside of Pokhara.
“I feel so lucky and grateful. It
changed the way I see my life as I
now realise my privilege and that
I have the ability to aid others,”
another student said.
The final component of the
expedition was the cultural and
sightseeing aspect. One team
challenged themselves with
some white-water rafting and
overnight riverside camping,
while the other experienced a
cooking class with a non-profit
organisation called Seven
Sisters who work to increase
literacy and opportunities
for women across Nepal. The
monkey temple in Kathmandu
was ventured to, as well as an
overnighter in the heritage city
of Bhaktapur where students had
a guided tour of the historical
royal palace temples, baths and
grounds.
Coming home was bittersweet
as students pounced upon
the unsuspecting staff at
McDonalds in Auckland
Airport at 1am, once customs
and immigration had been
cleared. In Christchurch, the
focus was thankfully more so
upon reuniting with family and
friends rather than Big Macs and
thick shakes.
I suspect like the staff the
students have spent a lot of time
reflecting upon their expedition
to Nepal. As a staff member, it
was a humbling experience in
many ways. Sometimes we get
so fixed on our classroom work
and measuring outcomes to
gauge an idea of what success
looks like, that we can forget
what experiences and challenges
outside the classroom can offer
our young people.
Because these experiences
are also fundraised and/or selffunded
it can seem that they
are not a reality for everyone
to have, but with the support
of our Selwyn ‘village’ we were
able to reduce these barriers
significantly for these young
people.
Firstly, we would like to thank
our principal Kathy Paterson
and the board of trustees who
gave permission and their
support for the expedition. We
would also like to thank all our
amazing supporters, parents,
friends and businesses that
contributed to this expedition.
The contribution and support
received has created 28 braver,
SUCCESS: Members of
Team Tang celebrate

wiser, more confident, more
grateful, more resilient and
more willing young people to
contribute and participate in our
community.
I would love to be able to put
this into a traditional school
context for you so its success
could be measured easily with
a test/exam result number or
percentage, but I can’t. The
knowledge and character that
these students now have because
of this expedition cannot be
measured so easily. However, I
am confident you will agree, that
even if we can’t measure them
‘nicely’, it shouldn’t, and doesn’t,
make them any less valuable to
future participants and leaders
in our communities.

double in price
• By Daniel Alvey
LINCOLN’S TOWN centre upgrades have
now doubled in price following detailed
design work.
When the project appeared in the last
2021-31 Long Term it had an estimated
budget of $21.4 million. It now has a
budget of $46 million.
The planned upgrades will see
improvements made along the
eastern end of Gerald St from
West Belt to Kildare Tce, including
the installation of traffic signals
with pedestrian crossings at the
intersection with West Belt, cycle
lanes replacing parallel car parks,
footpath and streetscape upgrades,
and intersection and drainage
improvements.
Last week council staff told councillors
Gerald St needs to be replaced sooner
rather than later and regardless of any
upgrades, road repairs would need to be
done anyway.
Springs Ward councillor Grant Miller
said the detailed design review has revealed
the true cost of deferring the project
from previous LTPs.
“The underlying reason why it’s increased
is because that project has been
continuously deferred because other
projects have a higher priority.
“When you defer projects, while you
seem to be saving money in the immediate
term when they eventually get done, the
end result is significantly more expensive,”
Miller said.
“Here’s the challenge for you: Do you
do a cut-price budget and just fix up the
road and come back in five years’ time
and dig it up and put the powerlines
underground and then dig it up
again when you can afford it, or do
you bite the bullet and when the
road is dug up you do everything at
once.”
Since the plan was confirmed
in 2016, Lincoln’s population has
grown from 5500 to 10,240.
Grant Miller Head of capital works Kamal
Narang said the project’s planning
and design stages and the exact timelines
are being worked on.
“This work is planned for construction
over the next Long-Term Plan period, with
a focus in the next six months on completing
planning, design and enabling works
for the first stages of the project.”
Councillors are expected to be given
an update on the project in this month’s
transport and infrastructure committee
meeting, including more detailed costings
and timelines.

If Selwyn residents contribute to
Te Kaha, it should be at a lesser rate
SOME Christchurch City
Councillors and their mayor
think Selwyn residents and
ratepayers should help fund their
stadium.
Do they not believe in “no
taxation without representation”?
Will there be a board
with regional representation for
the stadium? Who will benefit
most from the stadium? It will
be Christchurch businesses, particularly
those in hospitality and
accommodation. If Christchurch
city wants more income to fund
their stadium let them levy the
businesses which will benefit
most and keep their sticky fingers
out of the wallets of Selwyn
residents.
I have an alternate proposal.
Let there be a regional facilities
rate, like the Canterbury
Museum rate, based on
population.
Waimakariri and Selwyn
districts have many facilities
Christchurch residents use for
free or at no more charge than
locals. Let there be a regional
facilities rate that helps fund
the construction and operation
of regional facilities, not just
Christchurch’s stadium. Let
Christchurch residents help
fund the facilities they also use,
this would be fair and equitable.
Somehow I don’t think all
Christchurch city councillors
and their mayor are interested in
fairness and being reasonable.
-Mark Alexander
While Selwyn residents will
benefit from having Te Kaha
built in Christchurch in terms
of the sports matches and concerts
that it brings to the wider
Canterbury region, Selwyn needs
to be careful when assessing its
economic value to the district.
If anything, the stadium
will bring an economic loss for
Selwyn because when residents
of Selwyn go into Christchurch
to attend an event at Te Kaha,
they will likely dine out at a
Christchurch restaurant before,
and drink at a Christchurch pub
afterwards, and then catch a
Christchurch-based taxi home
from the city.
All that economic activity
stimulates business activity in
Christchurch when residents
otherwise, if it weren’t for the
stadium, might be dining and/
or drinking at Selwyn establishments.

Chlorination/stadium
I grew up with the best water
without chlorine all my life.
Now for some reason the council
wants to make it permanent.
Instead of finding a scapegoat
for their overspending on
things that don’t concern
Selwyn, maybe they need to
take responsibility and provide
the basic living essentials that
we need as a top priority. We
seem to be compensating to
please somebody else, whether
it’s to pay for the Christchurch
stadium or not. I don’t care for
the stadium and how it will
benefit people from overseas, etc.
I just need the basics – water, and
to see the rate we already pay is
being used to supply us water.
For other things like the
Selwyn stadium I don’t care for
that either, I don’t play rugby. If
they want a club or stadium raise
funds instead of raising rates to
cover the overspending.

There’s progress in Leeston, but
Leeston isn’t about
the become the new
Lincoln or Rolleston,
yet post-earthquake
expansion is evident
in the traditional rural
service centre known
for its war memorial,
speedway and A&P
show. Chris Barclay
reports
KEVIN TAYLOR personifies
how times don’t necessarily
change in Leeston. He has
marched in every Anzac Day
parade along High St to the war
memorial since 1945.
That same year he was coaxed
to join the Ellesmere Brass
Band – its wooden headquarters
still sit on a section at the
intersection of Messines and
High Sts.
Messines was chosen in recognition
of the battleground in
west Flanders, Belgium, in June
1917, a prelude to the disaster at
Passchendaele. Gallipoli St runs
parallel.
In recent years Taylor, who
turned 89 on January 28, has
been entrusted with announcing
the names of the fallen from the
Great War.
Abbott, Ameral C to Withers,
Thomas W from Southbridge
Riding. Balloch, David to Upston,
Percival J (Irwell Riding), then
Aiken, Patrick to Warnock, John
(Leeston Riding).
It is a responsibility he has
embraced after spending 63 years
with the brass band.
Taylor joined as a 10-year-old:
Vacancies needed filling since 24
men and boys from the district
were killed in World War 2.
“Some members didn’t come
back from the war. The Salvation
Army was approached by the
Ellesmere Brass Band and five of
us out of the nine stayed,” said
Taylor, who spent 47 years as
drum major before retiring in
2007.
He first lived in Leeston in
1949, though prior to then he’d
go to the pictures on Saturday
night, a cinema at the Doyleston
end of High St.
Taylor even remembers his first
haircut as a four-year-old. The
barber shop is now a Chineserun
takeaway.

was growing up pre, during and

In anyone’s language it’s a

rather than seismic, since the
Canterbury earthquakes.
Taylor is aware of Rolleston’s
rampant expansion, though
doubts the same, some say fate,
awaits Leeston.
“It’ll never happen. They
call it progress, and it is
progressing, but there’s a limit
to the population you can
put in Leeston because of the
amenities,” he said.

some things remain the same
But the township, all 2.44 sq
km of it according to Statistics
New Zealand, is undoubtedly
experiencing a renaissance.
Last year the New Zealand
Census recorded Leeston’s population
at 2430, compared to 2208
in 2018 and 1326 in 2006.
The percentage increase from
2006 to 2023 is 81.6 per cent.
“It really went backwards as
a community, but it’s slowly
building again,” said Taylor, who
remembers empty shop fronts on
High St before the new millennium.
In November, Selwyn Times
revealed Leeston could get a new
community centre and library at
an estimated cost of up to $19.4
million, with four options under
consideration in the 2024-34
Long Term Plan.
Leeston Park might also receive
an upgrade through the LTP,
with three choices budgeted between
$146,000 to $9.4 million.
Compared to Taylor, Stephan
Knowler is relatively new to Leeston
as this is merely his 21st year
selling real estate there, but they
share the same vision for the rural
service township established
in 1864.
“Twenty years ago you could
fire a gun down the middle of
High St and not hit anything,
now it’s humming,” he said.
Stephan Knowler
The first 150-section stage of
the Monticello subdivision was
acquired for development in
2005, but construction only accelerated
after 2011.
“We couldn’t sell a section
there for $70,000 then we had the
earthquake and of course this
was a consented subdivision,”
Knowler said.
“People (from Christchurch)
got their payout and bought them
as fast as they could build them.
Most of them still live out here,
they love it.”
A section cost about $120,000
a decade ago. When Holly Fields
joins the market soon the 219
plots will fetch $240,000 to
$250,000 apiece, still economical
compared to Rolleston or
Lincoln.
‘Twenty years ago you
could fire a gun down the
middle of High St and
not hit anything, now it’s
humming’
– Stephan Knowler
“They’re still pretty cheap. You
can get a brand new family home
for 800k. Go to Rolleston, that’s
900k, go to Lincoln it’s a million,”
Knowler said.
While he envisaged another
300 homes being built in Leeston
over the next five years, Knowler
said it would not turn into the
next Rolleston.
“Our issue is services. Our
sewerage plant is at capacity now.
So there’s a pipe coming to take
sewerage to the Pines (Wastewater
Treatment Plant) in Rolleston.
“That’ll allow more
development, but until it happens
we’re in a holding pattern.”
The project is expected to be
complete before Christmas, 2025.
Knowler also doubted the
district council was keen to
rezone any more significant
tracts of land for residential
development.
“I think they’d rather not, I
think they see Rolleston and
Lincoln being the two towns they
want to grow.”

Crate & Barrel a focal point
for close-knit community
QUIET LIFE: Ian Eveleigh has moved to Leeston for a
second time to escape a booming Rolleston.
• From page 17
That SDC strategy would suit
Ian and Paula Eveleigh down to
the ground.
The retirees returned to Leeston
last November, selling up in
Rolleston, to buy on Woodville
St, 300-metres from the quarteracre
section Ian bought on Flannery
St for $2000 in 1973 and
built on three years later.
They were living in Avoca
Valley on the Port Hills with
seven neighbours when the
earthquakes struck, eventually
prompting a move to Rolleston a
decade ago.
“We’d lived there (Rolleston)
30 years ago when we moved
back from Nelson. It was a nice
little country town but there’s
been some big changes, we didn’t
enjoy it at all,” he said.
“It was too busy, there were too
many people there for us.”
So they downsized in more
ways than one, building a threebedroom
home on what was an
old chicken farm.
The Eveleigh’s are not
unique, with couples and
families relocating to Leeston’s
subdivisions or lifestyle blocks
to experience the slow-paced
rural living and a close-knit
community Rolleston no longer
offers.
“There’s a lot of people who
enjoyed the old Rolleston where
there was one school. It’s expanding
at a rate so they’re coming
out here and looking for that
lifestyle again,” said Knowler,
adding Leeston also appealed as
an owner-occupier township.
Rolleston, said Knowler, was
not as settled: “There’s a lot of
transient people in Rolleston,
you get little boxes all in a row
full of tenants that don’t look
after their lawn.”
He did also point out the
Leeston of not so long ago had
a gritty, unsavoury edge to it,
which usually manifested itself
over jugs at the old brick twostorey
Leeston Hotel on High St.
“It was your typical
Canterbury boozer, a horrible
thing,” Knowler said.
Taylor agreed as he reminisced
about the town’s only watering
hole, which was quake-damaged
and demolished.
“It was pretty rough, a country
pub eh? The management wasn’t
all that wonderful. If you sat on a
local’s bar stool, you’d be thrown
out by the scruff of your neck. It
was ruled by the locals,” Taylor
said.
A farm supply company
occupies the pub site while
next door on Market St is the
edifice to Leeston’s makeover, a
sprawling sophisticated drinking
and dining experience on the old
sale yard section.
The Crate & Barrel opened in
September, 2017 when hotelier
Craig Bradford and Rangiorabased
developer Daniel Smith
eyed a gap in the market.
Said Bradford: “I was looking
to put a bar in Leeston, Daniel
Smith built (Farm Scene) next
door and we got talking. It was a
conversation we had in about 10
minutes.”
Then it was two years in the
planning stages. The build took
another 12 months.
Bradford left the Famous
Grouse in Lincoln in 2016 when
the Leeston project gathered
momentum.
“I’ve always had an affinity
with pubs. Both my grandfathers
were publicans in Bluff, my
father had his first pub in
Lake Hawea. Then we went to
Alex(andra) and Dunedin.”
Bradford loves the lifestyle and
cornering the pub – and hotel –
market with nine rooms able to
accommodate 23 guests.
There is also an extensive
library with a full set of
Encyclopedia Britannica and
400 Little Golden Books, so kids
can read the children’s stories of
yesteryear.
The Ellesmere Room pays
homage to hunting and fishing
on the nearby lake while Burt
Munro of World’s Fastest
Indian fame once broke down
in Leeston, hence the placement
of a 2017-vintage example of the
motorbike brand.
“The reason we built this so
special is if you were just going to
put a pub out there then no one
would come,” Bradford said.
“There’s over a hundred
instruments in the music room
upstairs, there’s over $300,000
worth of memorabilia in the
sports room.”
The sports collection includes
items from All Blacks Richie
McCaw and Aaron Smith, plus
Bradford’s pride and joy: A ball
signed by the 1987 Rugby World
Cup-winning squad.
Bradford said during the seven
years Leeston was without a pub,
locals would socialise at either
the rugby or bowls club, or at
each other’s homes and garages.
They also had the Ellesmere
Speedway season for
entertainment and the annual
Ellesmere A&P Show in October.
The Southbridge Hotel is 7.4km
away.
Now owner/manager Bradford
has a captive audience at the
Crate & Barrel, which he
manages with his son Sam and
daughter Mayson, the heirs
apparent.
“I want to get out of it very
soon. My passion is doing
comedy and variety shows
(with business partner David
Parlane),” he said.
“No one wants to see a
63-year-old man behind a bar.
And I don’t want to be there
anymore. Jesus. I’ve been in bars
all my life.”
Bradford also co-owns the
annual Selwyn Sounds music
festival with Parlane and he still
has a pub interest in Lincoln
through Lincoln HQ.
While Crate & Barrel is a
business – there is a bottle store,
vape store, poker machines, a
TAB and two corporate rooms
upstairs – Bradford said it
was also providing a valuable
community service.
“This is the town hall, the
meeting place. People use it for

“I sponsor everything we can
get our hands on, whether it’s
netball, rugby, cricket, all the
schools. When you’re in a wee
community like this, everyone
goes to the pub for funding.
“I’ve got pokies so we give
quite a bit of funding away
through that (Mainland
Foundation).”
Bradford, who used to run
five bars in Nelson and also
Christchurch’s Sandridge Hotel
in Sydenham, would not put a
dollar value on the project, as it
has evolved over time.
“The cost is not recorded
because I’ve clipped on things

Utah Valley University Students Explore
Emergency Preparedness in Selwyn
A delegation of 29 Utah Valley University students
were recently welcomed by Council’s Emergency
Management Team to learn about Selwyn’s
emergency preparedness. In a presentation at
Te Ara Ātea, these students, along with faculty
coordinators, gained insights into the region’s
emergency readiness and response.
While this was the fourth time this study abroad
programme had been brought to New Zealand,
it was the first time in Selwyn.
The students, pursuing graduate degrees in public
administration, emergency services administration
and public and community health, found the
experience valuable. Jeff Macfield, Professor and
Director of Emergency Services at Utah Valley
University, organised the programme through former
Director of the UC Centre for Risk, Resilience and
Renewal, Chris Hawker, eight years ago.
“In Utah, we face very similar challenges, so we
wanted to observe how emergencies are handled
from an international and local perspective,” said Jeff.
Graduate student in Public Administration, Kaitlynn
Knapp said she found it interesting how Selwyn
utilise volunteers for maximum efficiency in an
emergency response. “The entire population of the
county here is less people than the city I live in and
so I have been interested to see he way that they
have organised it here.”
When the Council was invited to join the
programme, Al Lawn, Head of Emergency
Management said it presented an opportunity to
share ideas globally — an essential component of
creating best practice.
“No one has the monopoly on good ideas, so to be
able to have a face-to-face conversation with others
working and learning in this space is fantastic, and
helps us to expand our thinking. Everyone has got
something to give, and both parties benefit
from the conversation,” said Al.
You can share your knowledge and help your
community in an emergency by volunteering with
one of Selwyn’s Civil Defence and Emergency
Management volunteer teams.

Shands Road Intersections and Trents Road Upgrade
Work is underway on the Shands Road
intersections upgrade project which will include
the construction of two new roundabouts at
Shands and Hamptons Road and Shands and
Trents Road in Prebbleton.
Trents Road Moving to One-Way
From Monday 12 February until approximately mid-
April, works along Trents Road (between Shands
and Springs Roads) will commence to enable the
installation of a new water main.
Trents Road will be accessible one-way from the
Shands Road end. The one-way traffic management
system will move progressively closer to
Springs Road as required.
Temporary Traffic Lights on Shands Road
— Hamptons Road (West) One-Way
From Monday 12 February, for approximately 8 weeks,
traffic will be reduced to one lane on Shands Road at
the intersection with Hamptons Road, and controlled
by temporary traffic lights between the hours of 9am
and 4pm. Two-way traffic will be reinstated outside of
these hours.
In conjunction with the temporary traffic lights on
Shands Road, Hamptons Road (West) will be one
way for the duration of the works with no entry on to
Shands Road.

50 Shades of Selwyn
• By Isabelle Teresa
Rural and regional-town living can be,
well, awkward, if you want to experience
some different sides of life. You know,
those sides… Pretty tough when families
have lived here through generations, you
might have gone to school with everyone
your age and you might be living in a
remote location. And it’s isolating and
intimidating if you’re unsure but just
know you want to explore.
With Valentine’s Day fluttering into
view, here’s a tongue-in-cheek look at
walking on the wild side in Selwyn.
swinging capital of the South Island!
Organised groups of couples have regular
meet ups around the group’s houses.
It’s largely a middle-aged, middle-class,
heterosexual and bisexual activity – guys
cannot attend on their own. Contact the
organisers to discuss if it’s right for you.
Pony clubbing
Sorry if this is freakish news, but
pony clubbing means something very
particular in the world of kink. It’s
humans-only and involves the same
equine equipment! Suffice to say, if you’re
looking for a wholesome local activity
for your rural kiddie, be very very careful
how you websearch for it.
Leave in the morning with everything
you own in a little black case
A tumble in the hay
Haybales and barns epitomise the
classic, pastoral idyl of country loving.
Scratchy, but private and readily available,
and pleasingly old-fashioned.
Dogging
Dragging ourselves into the
harsher 21st century, dogging
is being sexual in cars with other
people outside the vehicle watching,
and sometimes being invited to join in.
This activity needs remote and dimly-lit
locations, which Selwyn offers aplenty.
In townships, it’s the carparks and – of
course! – dogparks that are popular, and
more rurally, scenic spots and reserves.
Dogging is for straight, gay and
everything inbetween. In the online
forums where people post their
intentions, Darfield’s and Rolleston’s
dogparks get occasional mentions,
although this reporter is not brave
enough to check whether those people
go through with it.
Swinging
Rolleston’s time to shine here – it’s the
On a serious note, people living rurally
or regionally who want to explore their
sexuality or identity may choose to be
like Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy and
run away, turn away, run away. If you’re
facing this huge decision, there are
online and phone forums and services,
and a specialist Rainbow counsellor
based in Rolleston.
Here’s to a time when everyone feels
comfortable enjoying their own shade of
Valentine’s Day in Selwyn.

Wrap your tastebuds
around National Lamb
Day – 15 February
• By Isabelle Teresa
New Zealand used to observe a
National Lamb Day but not many kiwis
knew about it, largely because it was on
May 24. Why? Well, in 1882, that’s when
the first shipment of our frozen lamb
arrived in the UK. Its journey on the SS
Dunedin proved that refrigerated meat
could be safely exported over such a long
distance and marked NZ’s debut onto
the world stage of international trade.
Thing is, who feels like a lamb chops
barbie in late autumn?
So this year, the celebration is being
re-booted and observed on a much
better date – 98 days earlier, when that
crucial shipment left New Zealand. This
places the event fair and square at the
golden end of summer – Thursday 15
February, to be precise.
The idea for this simple but genius
switch came from Ag Proud, a farmerled
group that launched in 2019
following a period of bad international
press for NZ farming. Ag Proud
has three core objectives: creating
awareness around mental health and
wellbeing for those in the ag sector
and their families, promoting positive
agricultural practices, and strengthening
the relationship between urban and ag
communities.
The day is being re-launched with
a bang at the South Island’s largest
agricultural event, Southern Fieldays
at Waimumu, February 14 to 16. Ag
Proud will be cranking the barbecue on
the 15th, giving away free lamb chops.
Special guests on the day will include
Olympians!
Everyone will doubtless be wearing the
new T-shirt, created to mark the day. $12
from each Tee goes to charity – order
yours through agproud.co.nz.
The Rock radio station is getting into
the spirit and will be urging its listeners
to enjoy NZ lamb on the day, wherever
they are, nationwide. The relaunch is
also being supported by farmers, meat
processors, retailers and Beef + Lamb
New Zealand.
Lamb prices are currently at their
lowest since 2017. Ag Proud chair
Jon Pemberton points out that,
although this is challenging for
farmers, that makes it even easier
for kiwis to buy quality lamb at a
reduced price to enjoy on National
Lamb Day. ‘’We are looking forward
to seeing national sales go up and
people enjoying lamb a lot more.’’
No need to talk me into it. Pass the
mint sauce!

Applying the Maramataka in
• By Isabelle Teresa
Many indigenous cultures around
the world operated on a lunar calendar,
including Polynesian, Hindu, Muslim,
Chinese and Indian peoples. The Māori
lunar calendar is called the Maramataka
(from “marama” moon, “taka” to turn).
For Māori, each day within the
moon’s cycle has its own name and
energies. For each day, particular
activities are recommended as being
most suitable to the moon’s energy
and your immediate environment and
therefore most likely to succeed. This
includes recommendations about when
to plant and harvest particular types of
crops, based on the understanding that
the gravitational pull of the moon is
influencing not only the tides but also
the water in the soil.
Agricultural research and practice is
increasingly learning from and applying
this approach. In 2006, an indepth
research report from Lincoln University
explored the maramataka of different
iwi across the country, demonstrated
the similarities and emphasised how
these understandings can contribute to
modern horticultural practices.
Last year, a two-year project in the
North Island held on-farm projects to
trial, observe and record the effects of

maramataka practices. Here are just a
couple of the findings.
Taranaki organic dairy farmer Nick
Collins: “With hay, we found it cures
better on the new moon, or after the full
moon, because there are lower moisture
levels in the pasture. Leading up to the
full moon is the active phase, which
was a good time for sileage because we
weren’t worried about drying the plant.
But the hay seemed to dry better when
the plant has lower moisture levels, and
that’s [during] a waning moon.”
Bay of Plenty farmer Mohi Beckham
employs contractors for riparian
planting. “My contractors only work in
the high-energy days of the lunar cycle,
which is anywhere between 12 and
20 days compared to five days a week
for conventional planting contractors.
But the productivity is higher in the
maramataka boys. A lot of our stuff has
been under water this year, and there’s
a 93 per cent survival rate for their
plantings. Usually, you are lucky when
the survival rate is 80 per cent.”
To explore this topic further, seek out
materials that explain the approach and
its applications, and use a phone app
to keep you on track with where the
moon is at. Deep observation of your
own land and practices is crucial – you
may notice patterns and gain a new
perspective on why they occur.

College’s cricket
tour a success
• By Sam Coughlan
ROLLESTON COLLEGE are celebrating
the success of the school’s first ever
international sporting tour.
A development cricket team travelled to
Melbourne last month for three matches
against local schools and clubs, and partook
in some elite coaching sessions.
Rolleston’s sports co-ordinator Carolyn
Corbett accompanied the team, and said
the boys “had a ball”.
“They all said that they have improved
their skills, they’re excited to come back
for the season, and most importantly, they
actually had fun representing their school.
“All of those three things were what we
wanted to get out of it.”
The players were from years 9 to 13.
Corbett said planning had begun 14 or
15 months prior, and extensive fundraising
had been held.
“We actually ran a huge event here at
school, a race night, and we raised probably
close to $18,000, $19,000, which was
awesome.
“And then they did a few little fundraisers
here and there in between times but
we really pushed on making one really
successful fundraiser.”
When they got to Melbourne the team
played local schools Mentone Grammar
and Camberwell Grammar either side of
a trip out to Bendigo, a two-hour drive
from the city, to face Maiden Gully Marist
Cricket Club in what would be their only
win of the tour.
Year 13 pupil Tobias Delahunty, who
captained the side and is a member of the
school’s 1st XI, scored a century in their
final game against Camberwell.
He said the tour was a “pretty awesome”
opportunity and the team got a lot out of
it.
“Playing on different conditions over
there, the pitches were a lot different to
what they are here.”
He said the coaching provided different
perspectives too.
“It was just a pretty sick experience.”
His personal highlight was scoring a
century, but the team bonding was important
too.
“Everyone got along – a bit of banter as
well, so nice team cohesion there,” he said.
Corbett said discussions had been had
with Maiden Gully Marist about Rolleston
potentially hosting a team in the future.
“They were very keen to bring a team
out to New Zealand and obviously we
would host them, if they came out.”
Rolleston College are aiming to make
overseas sporting ventures happen more
frequently.
“We hope to make this a sort of
every two-year project for the cricket programme,”
said Corbett.
“And now that we’ve got our first
international tour done we’re looking at
the 2025 Gold Coast Games, which is a
variety of sports, not necessarily for high
performance, but about actually giving
kids opportunities for development and
some different experiences.”

BOARDING SCHOOL
Students flourish and thrive at
Christchurch Girls’ High
Choosing the right school for your daughter is an
important step. With boarding, another dimension
enters into the equation. Not only do parents desire
a stimulating, engaging learning environment which
challenges students to achieve personal excellence,
they also need a safe, comfortable and happy living
space.
Christchurch Girls’ High School is a purpose built
school for girls which places young women at the
centre of education. Acland, the boarding hostel
associated with the school, establishes positive
relationships which create a strong sense of family.
This feeling is further enhanced by the completely
refurbished main homestead. A landscaped pool area
and access to tennis courts, complement the living
arrangements.
Boarders are supervised by a supportive,
experienced and caring team. A Director of Boarding
leads her staff in ensuring the welfare of the students
is paramount. All nutritional needs are met by a
professional, friendly, on-site food services team.
In this environment students flourish and thrive.
2024 sees the opening of The Stables, a new dormitory
encompasses modern facilities and surroundings
for a further 26 students. Acland students’ learn to
manage themselves, relate to others and participate
and contribute. In the process, they develop resilience,
independence, a good work ethic and lasting
friendships.
Learning and living at Christchurch Girls’ High
School is tailored specifically to meet the needs of
today’s young women.

Nelson College
A place for boys to thrive
The ‘Boarding
Advantage’ at St
Andrew’s College
Guided by our three core values:
Manaaki, Pono and Kairangi (Care,
Integrity, and Success), Nelson College
strives to provide a strong character
education, lead the conversation on
positive masculinity, and guide students
as future fathers, workers, teachers, and
leaders.
Students thrive in many environments
for many reasons, and our region is
blessed with some great schools and
high-quality educators. Because we’re in
the business of building boys, what we do
know is that the single-sex environment
allows focused attention on the unique
needs and challenges of boyhood, while
collaboration with Nelson College for
Girls offers a balanced experience.
The Association of Boys’ Schools of
New Zealand 2017-2021 report shows
that school-leavers from single-sex
schools have higher achievement rates,
with university entrance rates almost 18%
higher than their co-ed counterparts. If
Nelson College intends to prove this rule,
it’s made its point! 60% of our Year 13
students consistently achieve university
entrance - double the national average!
For students taking a different path, the
purpose-built Gibbons Trade Education
Centre’s trade-trained tutors provide
practical workshop experience and
maintain strong business and industry
connections, positioning students for
lucrative and in-demand careers.
There’s no denying our sporting legacy,
and that Nelson College is a crucible
for producing sporting greats. This
commitment to excellence extends far
beyond the field and court, it extends
to every classroom and to our boarding
houses, and every boy is given the chance
to shine. With flourishing arts and music
programs, and diverse co-curricular
activities, your son will soon find his
niche.
As well as a world-class education and
host of co-curricular activities, boarders
at St Andrew’s College gain valuable life
skills and personal growth, thanks to the
‘Boarding Advantage’, says Director of
Boarding, Matt Parr. “The immeasurable
benefits Include developing socialisation,
interpersonal skills, organisational skills,
and resourcefulness, which benefits
students well beyond school.”
Matt says the boarding houses are
far more than just a place to stay. “We
constantly add value in a range of ways,
such as our Prep (homework) programme,
Academic Support programme, and the
leadership opportunities we provide. One
of our key points of difference is that all
our management staff in boarding, and
many of our tutors, are educators. We
understand what it takes for students to
be successful and help them to balance
academic achievement with their health
and well-being, and co-curricular
activities.”
There is already strong demand for
boarding places at St Andrew’s in 2025
and Matt encourages anyone interested in
securing their child a place to be proactive.
“We’ll be running our usual boarding
roadshows around the South Island in
Term 1 and we look forward to meeting
prospective new students and families.”

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
A breath of fresh air
23
There’s nothing worse than the smell
of your latest culinary creation wafting
through your living spaces. Beyond just
dealing with kitchen aromas, kitchen range
hoods address the more serious issue of
condensation from cooking steam. There
are many different types, so which one
should you choose?
First, if you are building or renovating,
you need to decide whether to opt for
ducted or recirculating models. In New
Zealand, ducted range hoods must vent
outside, preventing potential fire hazards
and condensation-related rot in the ceiling
cavity.
Ducted or recirculating?
Recirculating models use carbon or
charcoal filters to recirculate
air, with replacement
filters needing to
be purchased
every three to
six months.
They also
don’t remove
moisture.
On the other
hand, ducted
hoods
are more
efficient at
moisture
removal
but involve
a higher
installation
cost.
Types of
range
hoods:
Fixed hood - As the name suggests, they
are permanently fixed to the wall or under
a cupboard like a flat box. Fixed hoods
are limited in how much steam they can
remove, but smooth-surfaced hoods are
easy to clean.
Canopy - These are usually made in
various shapes in stainless steel or glass
and are fixed to the wall or hung from the
ceiling. Most canopy hoods are ducted
vertically through the ceiling or wall.
Canopy hoods often have additional
features, including electronic controls and
three or four fan speeds. These fans are
efficient with a higher airflow than fixed
hoods.
Tilt hoods - These are built-in and have
a front panel that tilts open to be used. Tilt
hoods are mounted between cupboards
and have a good capacity to remove a lot
of steam.
Retractable or slide-out hoods - These
are usually mounted under cupboards and
are designed to be out of the way when
you’re not using them. The extension
slides out with an automatic fan and light.
They have a limited capacity for collecting
steam.
Undermount or integrated hoods -
These are out of sight and built into a
cupboard above the cooktop. Undermount
or integrated hoods may not be as efficient
as a canopy hood.
Downdraft hoods - For the ultimate in
being discreet, these range hoods rise from
the back of the cooktops when needed.
However, they may not be as effective as
other types.
Choose a range hood that best suits your
needs and budget, and create a functional
and inviting kitchen. Breathe easier and
cook with comfort!
