Fire chief still shaken 

after black spot crash 

• By Daniel Alvey 

SPRINGFIELD’S fire chief is 

still running through 

the ‘what ifs’ after 

walking away from 

a crash with a driver 

who ran a stop sign. 

Grant Williams 

and his partner were 

travelling along State 

Highway 77 towards 

Windwhistle last 

Tuesday when they 

Grant 

Williams 

were hit by a car driving along 

Leaches Rd. 

“He just came straight 

through the stop sign and 

took us out,” Williams 

said. 

“The only thing I 

remember is I heard the 

missus yell that he was 

coming through and 

then I just heard the loud 

bang in the back of the 

car.”

Conditional council support 

for motorway speed limit rise 


THE COUNCIL has backed 

a speed limit increase on the 

Southern Motorway, with 

conditions. 

At the beginning of this month 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

Waka Kotahi started consulting 

on increasing the speed limit on 

the road to 110km/h between 

the Curletts Rd and Weedons Rd 

interchanges. 

The consultation closes on 

Tuesday. 

In its draft submission council 

supported the increase but 

strongly encouraged NZTA to 

ensure all efforts are made to 

promote and enforce safe driving 

behaviour to reduce the current 

crash risk, including the addition 

of permanent speed cameras. 

The council’s submission 

comes after Mayor Sam 

Broughton sent a letter to 

Transport Minister Simeon 

Brown supporting the increase. 

As part of preparing the 

submission, council compared 

crash data from the last five 

years on the Southern Motorway 

and the Waikato Expressway 

GOING UP: The council has told NZTA it supports raising the speed limit on the Southern 

Motorway to 110km/h, but with the addition of extra safety and enforcement measures. 

which has a 110km/h speed 

limit. 

In the last five years there 

were 181 crashes on the 18km 

Southern Motorway of which 12 

were serious, 32 minor, and 137 

non-injury. 

For the same period there 

were 565 crashes on the 102km 

Waikato Expressway, of which 

four were fatal, 18 serious, 116 

minor and 427 non-injury. 

Council road safety advisor 

Mike Patterson said in the 

submission there should be 

speed cameras added, an 

increase in officer enforcement, 

a review of congestion at the 

Rolleston merge point, and a 

driver education campaign prior 

to any speed limit increase. 

He also requested a cost 

benefit analysis be carried out 

to assess the greenhouse gas 

emissions and the expected 

productivity gains compared to 

the cost to the taxpayer. 

Said Patterson: “While 

the Christchurch Southern 

Motorway can manage a speed 

limit increase with minor 

improvements, the broader 

implications cannot be ignored.” 

The draft submission will 

be retrospectively endorsed by 

council next month.

In Brief 

COUNCIL TO DISCUSS 

TRANSPORT BUDGET 

Council will have a closed door 

meeting today to discuss how to 

manage a $36 million shortfall 

in its three-year transport 

budget. In the 2024-27 National 

Land Transport Programme 

allocation, the council was 

anticipating $30 million to fund 

new projects, but only received 

$3 million. It is also short $9 

million for road maintenance. 

A spokesperson said the public 

would be excluded from the 

meeting due to the discussion of 

commercially sensitive material. 

CAUSE OF HOUSE FIRE 

STILL UNKNOWN 

The cause of a fire that damaged 

a Tai Tapu home on Friday is 

still unknown. Crews from 

Lincoln, Rolleston, Wigram, 

and Spreydon responded to 

the Old Tai Tapu Rd house fire 

about 11pm. Lincoln fire chief 

Richie Bee said it started on the 

veranda and spread up into the 

roof cavity, making it difficult 

to extinguish. Bee said the 

occupants got out safely when 

they smelt smoke. Meanwhile, 

a barbecued roast lamb did not 

go to plan for a Rolleston family 

after the barbecue caught fire. 

Fire crews from Lincoln and 

Rolleston responded to the 

Stern Cres home at 2.20pm on 

Saturday. Rolleston fire chief 

Marty Tier said the fire was out 

when crews arrived.

“He hit the back of us and 

the car spun so many times 

it seemed like it kept going 

forever.” 

Both roads have a 100km/h 

speed limit. 

A police spokesperson said 

there were no injuries reported, 

and an investigation was still 

ongoing. 

As a result of recent crashes 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand is set to meet with 

NZTA officials and council 

staff on Friday to discuss the 

intersection. 

Hororata Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief Bruce Sayer said 

they regularly attend crashes 

there. 

“It definitely is a really bad 

black spot. At the end of the day 

something needs to be done 

about it . . . We have to stop the 

carnage on that intersection 

somehow,” Sayer said. 

NZTA Waka Kotahi data 

showed since 2020 there has 

been one fatal crash, three 

serious and one minor crash at 

the intersection. 

The fatal in February involved 

two trucks colliding. 

Williams said Tuesday’s 

outcome could have been much 

worse. 

“It would have been 10 times 

worse if had been a fraction of a 

second earlier or later. 

“It’s been through my mind 

dozens of times.” 

His grand-daughter is a 

regular passenger in the vehicle 

but wasn’t with them this time. 

That had been playing on his 

mind too. 

“We have a car seat in there for 

our wee grand-daughter and that 

sort of thing sticks in your mind 

too.” 

Snow had fallen overnight in 

Selwyn. 

Williams said there was no 

issue with visibility. The road was

damp at the time of the crash. 

He said along with the physical 

and mental trauma, he was 

frustrated with the inconvenience 

of not having a car. 

Windwhistle residents also 

want changes to the intersection. 

Nearby farmer Steve Richards 

has even gone to the extent of 

putting a wrecked car in his 

paddock next to it. 

“I put it there about six weeks 

ago . . . (I was) standing there 

and I saw someone go straight 

through and just enough’s 

enough. Whether it makes any 

difference I don’t know, but I’m 

going to leave it there.” 

Richards said he would 

support the addition of flashing 

stop signs or warning lights at 

the intersection to warn people 

of the approaching intersection. 

A NZTA spokesperson 

said improvements have been 

designed for the intersection, but 

the date they are to be installed is 

yet to be finalised. 

“Our safety engineer has 

outlined an appropriate package 

of signs and pavement marking 

improvements to help define 

this intersection better, making 

it more conspicuous/visible for 

drivers, but this is subject to 

funding and safety priorities,” 

the spokesperson said. 

Windwhistle School is near the 

intersection. Principal Bronwen 

Seaward remembers hearing the 

fatal truck crash while the pupils 

were in the swimming pool. 

“It sounded like a bomb going 

off,” said Seaward. 

She said there have been 

multiple times when the school 

bus has been rerouted due to a 

crash at the intersection. 

Seaward thinks the whole 

of Windwhistle, including the 

intersection, should have a 

reduced speed limit. 

“I think it would make it a lot 

safer if it was reduced.”

Lifestyle living at its best 

- have your space and the weekends too! 

Will you be among the fortunate few to own one 

of the 12 premium 1-hectare lifestyle sections 

in West Melton’s newest community, Yorktown? 

Yorktown, the last underdeveloped area of zoned 

land in the Selwyn District with a 1-hectare 

section overlay, is a gem waiting to be discovered. 

Nestled on the corner of Sandy Knolls and Painters 

Roads, Yorktown offers a picturesque view and a 

convenient commute to Christchurch International 

Airport (just a 20-minute drive) and the central 

city. It’s the ideal spot for those who crave the 

tranquillity of the countryside while enjoying the 

modern conveniences of the popular West Melton 

village (just a 3-minute drive), Rolleston 

(a 10-minute drive), and Darfield townships 

(a 14-minute drive). 

What’s the story behind the name Yorktown? The 

history of Yorktown dates back to the 1860s. It 

was then when five Yorkshiremen, Cass, Catrick, 

Holland, Price, and Walker, purchased a thousand 

acres on the Bealey Track and subdivided it 

themselves. The land was gradually transformed 

into farming and agriculture, and the area became 

a key stopover for those travelling on a coach 

from the goldfields in Otago and Westland. The 

Developers chose the name Yorktown to honour 

Artist’s Impression 

the area’s rich history and its notable founders 

and to symbolise the passing of the land to its 

new owners, who will write their own chapter in its 

history. 

For those who long for a true country lifestyle, this 

property offers the space and freedom to make it 

a reality. It’s perfect for those who want the luxury 

of space to do as little or as much as they like — 

it’s actively working the land or simply relaxing in 

a country retreat. These 1-hectare sections are 

designed for those who prefer the charm and open 

spaces of the countryside, including homeowners 

who want to downsize from their larger rural 

properties or those wishing to escape the city 

suburbs. Neither too big nor too small — there’s 

ample room for a shed or two, a swimming pool, 

space for animals to roam, a vegetable garden, and 

plenty of space for kids to play. 

Yorktown has all the features of a residential 

development, with headaches removed so 

purchasers can get on with designing their 

dream homes. The subdivision comes with the 

convenience of a Council water supply, fibre 

broadband, and power (3 phase), all supplied to 

the boundary. The entranceways are sealed, and 

titles are issued. Fencing is also taken care of, 

including Oregon post and rail feature fencing. 

A minimum dwelling size of 200 sqm (including 

a garage) will suit various homeowners’ lifestyles 

and budgets, leaving sufficient space for ancillary 

buildings. 

The subdivision features covenants that do 

not overly restrict the Purchaser’s choices and 

freedoms but will ensure quality homes and 

peace of mind. Envisioning an English estate’s 

appearance and grandeur, Yorktown’s landscaping 

is a special feature. Avenues of maple trees 

have been planted to form an eye-catching 

entranceway, with further plantings of specimen 

trees throughout the development, including pin 

oaks, liquid ambers, and elms. With covenants to 

allow them to develop, these plantings will create 

a collection of striking autumnal colours for future 

generations and local bird life to enjoy. 

The opportunity to buy a section in Yorktown to 

build your dream home awaits you.

Future planning enters final phase 


AFFORDABILITY, urban sprawl 

and transport are the key topics 

of concern in the district’s 50- 

year plan. 

Waikirikiri Ki Tua Future 

Selwyn will play a pivotal role 

in determining how the district 

grows and develops, where investment 

is made and what projects 

the council will deliver. 

It is now one step away from its 

official adoption next month following 

submission hearings and a 

council deliberation process. 

Once adopted, the focus will 

shift to developing area plans 

which establish how that vision 

works for specific towns and 

areas in the long term. 

“Over summer, we’ll be getting 

out around the community, looking 

to hear from you about what 

you like about your town, what 

you don’t like, and what you’d 

like to see more of,” Mayor Sam 

Broughton said. 

The strategy is designed to be 

a living document which will be 

updated as more information 

becomes available. 

During deliberations, many of 

the changes made were around 

the language used. 

During the consultation, 112 

submissions were received. Of 

those, 14 were concerned about 

affordability. 

DIRECTION: A vision for the Future of Selwyn is being finalised following public feedback 

and hearings. 

Former councillor Mark Alexander 

suggested in his personal 

submission that the word ‘affordable’ 

should be included in the 

strategy’s vision statement. 

“Affordability needs to be front 

and centre in the vision statement 

as the rest of the document is full 

of nice-to-haves which ratepayers 

and residents will have to pay for.” 

In response, council strategy 

planner Ryan Mayes said the word 

‘liveable’ used in the vision covered 

the strategy being affordable. 

“I am of the view that affordability 

is incorporated into the 

draft within the term ‘liveable’, 

as if it is not financially viable to 

live within the 

district, then it 

is not liveable,” 

Mayes said. 

Affordability 

was also raised 

by submitters 

when talking 

about housing, 

including in 

smaller towns, 

Ryan 

Mayes 

Lincoln University student accommodation 

and for those on 

low incomes. 

Mayes said the increased focus 

on higher density housing would 

address the issue of affordability 

and housing choice. 

People were also concerned 

about urban sprawl and advocated 

for green spaces to be included 

as part of urban growth. 

“There is a consensus on 

promoting density where appropriate, 

but some suggest not intensifying 

in already established 

areas,” he said. 

“There was a strong preference 

for avoiding greenfield developments 

on farmland, instead 

focusing on intensification and 

diversification of housing stock.” 

There was a general push from 

submitters to protect productive 

land from urban sprawl, implement 

greenbelts around larger 

towns, and create greenways that 

connect neighbourhoods. 

“Submissions call for connected 

subdivisions rather than 

piecemeal developments, with 

smaller sections in town centres 

that increase in size towards the 

outskirts,” Mayes said. 

He said the strategy balanced 

the range of perspectives by 

encouraging density in existing 

areas while also allowing for 

greenfield development when 

appropriate and recommenced no 

changes. 

There is also a strong call for 

better public transport, especially 

for rural areas, with proposals 

to use existing railway lines for 

commuter services and add walking 

and cycling paths alongside 

them. 

The strategy points to a direction 

of getting more people out of 

cars and either onto public transport 

or walking and cycling. 

Said Mayes: “It is acknowledged 

that the public transport direction 

in the draft of Waikirikiri 

Ki Tua Future Selwyn is aspirational, 

and considerable work and 

investment will be required to 

achieve it.”

submissions. 

The district’s over-65 population 

is expected to grow by 

about 25,000 to 36,750 by 2053, 

making Selwyn the most rapidly 

ageing territorial local authority 

in the country. 

People under 24 make 

up more than a third of the 

district’s population with the 

easternmost towns, particularly 

Rolleston, having the highest 

concentration of young people. 

About 24 per cent of Rolleston 

and 23 per cent of West Melton’s 

population are under the age of 

14. 

Elderly survey results showed 

affordability is a significant 

issue with 23 per cent of survey 

respondents saying they never, 

rarely, or only sometimes have 

enough money to meet their 

everyday needs, with seven per 

cent of those never or rarely 

having enough money. 

Age Concern Canterbury 

chief executive Greta Bond said 

the statistics were extremely 

concerning. 

“The cost of living is impacting 

everybody but in particular 

older people, many of whom are 

on a fixed income,” Bond said. 

“Anything the council can 

do to, for example, relieve rates 

FORWARD THINKING: The council has adopted the Piki Amokura youth strategy and Te 

Paepae Ageing Well strategy to plan for future growth.

would be a step 

in the right direction,” 

she said. 

“I fully 

endorse it. It 

really captures 

the concerns of 

older people in 

Selwyn.” Greta Bond 

A challenge 

facing both age groups is access 

to transport. 

For the elderly, 33 per cent 

of survey respondents said the 

lack of access to regular transport 

made it difficult to access 

healthcare. 

“When I am unwell, and I 

drive to the GP out of district I 

am concerned I am going to kill 

myself or someone else on the 

road,” one person said. 

Another wrote: “If you are 

unable to drive you are stuck 

as there is only one bus to 

Christchurch at 7am and returning 

at 5pm.” 

The youth strategy points to 

similar issues. 

“In Waikirikiri Selwyn young 

people are disadvantaged by 

the lack of reliable transport 

options, especially those who 

are not old enough to drive or 

cannot afford to get a driver’s 

licence or own and run a car,” 

the strategy said. 

This was backed up by Te Tahi 

Youth general manger Fiona Kay. 

“Better public transport options 

would have a huge impact 

for rangatahi and their ability to 

access services/recreation/social 

support.” 

The council’s 

research 

also found 

finding local 

employment, 

which fitted 

around school, 

was a challenge 

for young people. Fiona Kay 

“In particular, 

young people highlighted the 

limited number of hospitality 

and retail positions and the high 

competition for these roles when 

vacancies arise,” the strategy 

said. 

“We have an opportunity as 

council to support our businesses 

to do this and to put the district 

on the map as a destination for 

business.” 

Kay said the council has the 

opportunity to expand on the 

Youth Hub which opened in the 

Rolleston Community Centre 

last year. 

“The council have an amazing 

opportunity to expand on the 

Youth Hub and create a youth 

specific facility for rangatahi 

similar to the hub being built in 

Christchurch that could have 

multiple recreation and service 

options and a place that rangatahi 

feel is theirs,” Kay said. 

Funding for these strategies 

was approved by council through 

the 2024-34 Long-Term Plan 

with $400,000 allocated across 10 

years to each. 

The sign-off of the strategies 

is the initial stage of a two-stage 

approach. 

The first stage established the 

direction and clarifies council’s 

role and responsibilities, while 

the second stage involves planning 

collaboratively with stakeholders 

to facilitate, advocate, 

enable, or shape actions that 

advance the vision. 

“This approach enables us to 

take advantage of new opportunities 

and celebrate as actions 

are completed. Measurable and 

specific actions will be a feature 

of planning and delivery and will 

align with the strategic priorities 

and Waikirikiri Ki Tua Future 

Selwyn, which is the council’s 

long-term strategic framework,” 

council staff said. 

Mayor Sam Broughton said 

the council will continue to work 

with outside groups to develop 

the strategies. 

“It will be our role to be the 

advocate, facilitator, co-ordinator 

and, in some cases, the service 

provider, so the agencies 

collectively can enable young 

people and our older members of 

the community to live their best 

lives in Selwyn.”

WELL-RESEARCHED: Abby Wilson wanted to create something that 

makes others feel supported and comforted. 

Donated teddies turned 

into mental health heroes 

• By Isabella Adams 

A TAI Tapu girl is auctioning off her teddy 

bear creations to support a youth mental 

health charity. 

Selwyn House School pupil Abby 

Wilson is doing a passion project at school, 

where she has to create something based 

on her loves and something that breaks 

her heart. 

Abby, 12, has long had an interest in 

crafting and creating, and has run an 

online jewellery shop “Abby’s Accessories” 

for the past two years. 

Something that breaks her heart is 

mental health, specifically seeing others 

struggle it. 

“I’ve always loved teddies and having 

hugs with teddies. 

“I did lots of research and found that 

weighted teddies are really good for wellbeing 

and I find it really hard to see people 

that struggle with their well-being.” 

From this she created Snuggle Buddies, 

weighted teddy bears she has made from 

bears donated by the community. 

Her mum, Kim Wilson, put a post up on 

Facebook asking anyone with unwanted 

bears to donate them to Abby’s project. 

They received between 40 and 50 bears, 

and Kim said their house is now “over-run 

by teddies”. 

Abby makes Snuggle Buddies by cutting 

a hole in the back of the teddy, and placing 

socks filled with bags of sand inside. 

The size of the sand bags ranges from 

500g to 4kg depending on the size of the 

teddy bear. 

Once sealed back up, she accessorises 

each bear with a bandana and a fidget toy, 

and adds lavender oil for a relaxing scent. 

Abby will be auctioning the bears on 

COMMUNITY SUPPORT: Abby was 

given between 40-50 bears after 

her mum asked for donations on 

Facebook. 

Trade Me, selling 5-10 at a time. 

The first auction began on Monday to 

coincide with the start of Mental Health 

Awareness Week. 

All funds raised will be donated to 

Christchurch charity Te Tahi Youth, 

which provides mental health services for 

young people aged 10-24. 

“I wanted to make sure that (the charity) 

would benefit children and teenagers because 

I know that that’s a really big age for 

where people have suicidal thoughts and 

anxieties and problems with their mental 

health. 

“I was thinking that (Te Tahi Youth) 

could be someone that helped me if I ever 

have problems like that in the future. And 

I thought that it was a really good place I 

should support and help.”

Sunny skies for annual swap meet 

HORORATA DOMAIN buzzed 

with activity as enthusiasts and 

collectors flocked to the annual 

Hororata Mechanical Swap 

Meet. 

Hororata Community Trust 

executive officer Cindy Driscoll 

said Saturday’s event was a 

“vibrant gathering” of individuals 

with a shared passion for all 

things mechanical. 

Enthusiasts from around New 

Zealand travelled to the swap 

meet to trade car and motorcyle 

parts, tools and various mechanical 

items, with 130 sellers 

and 1800 visitors on the day. 

An array of vintage and classic 

cars, trucks, and motorbikes 

lined the Hororata racetrack. 

The event, organised by the 

Hororata Community Trust, 

was a fundraiser for community 

groups, including Glentunnel 

Primary School, Hororata 

Historical Society and Hororata 

Parish. 

Driscoll said the trust wants 

to see the event grow, while remaining 

true to its core identity 

as a dedicated mechanical swap 

meet. 

The trust was grateful for its 

volunteers, and the support of 

partners and funders who made 

the event possible. 

The next swap meet is set to be 

held on September 20, 2025.

Legal Matters 

Incorporated Society vs. 

Charitable Trust 

Since our recent article Significant Changes 

ahead for Incorporated Societies we’ve 

received a lot of interest from Societies 

regarding the best course of action to 

ensure a smooth path to re-registration, 

avoiding de-registration! We are also 

privileged to have been engaged on a 

number of exciting community projects 

and initiatives. 

As part of that, we have had many 

people seek clarification on the 

difference between a charitable trust 

and an incorporated society. When 

establishing a not-for-profit organisation 

in New Zealand, choosing the right 

legal structure is crucial to ensuring its 

long-term success. The key distinctions 

between the two as follows: 

Charitable Trusts are generally best 

suited to organisations focused on 

using accumulated funds or assets 

for philanthropic activities, such as 

advancing education, relieving poverty, 

or supporting community welfare. A 

charitable trust is governed by trustees 

who hold and manage the trust’s funds 

and assets according to the terms of a 

trust deed, which outlines the charitable 

purpose/s of the trust and the powers of 

the trustees. 

There are no ‘members’ of a charitable 

trust, and decision-making is entirely 

up to the trustee/s without the need for 

general meetings or committees. As a 

result, charitable trusts typically provide 

less flexibility in governance. Trustees 

bearing all responsibility, and appropriate 

documentation must be completed 

to appoint or remove trustees. The 

trust deed sets out how many trustees 

there would be. If there are a number 

of trustees they can incorporate as a 

“board of trustees”. This provides two 

meaningful benefits: (1) The board, 

rather than the trustees, would enter 

into all obligations, meaning liability 

sits with the board and not the trustees 

personally; and (2) A charitable trust 

board can continue into perpetuity and is 

unaffected by changes to the trustees. 

Charitable trusts can benefit from tax 

relief, provided they meet specific criteria. 

Incorporated Societies are generally 

more suited to member-driven 

organisations, such as sports clubs, 

cultural groups, or advocacy bodies, 

which provide activities, events and 

benefits to members. An incorporated 

society is a separate legal entity from 

its members, meaning it can enter into 

contracts, own property, and sue or be 

sued in its own name. Decision-making 

is democratic – that is, the members 

all have the right to vote and make 

decisions, although members periodically 

elect a committee who have the powers 

needed to manage the society’s affairs 

This structure provides greater flexibility 

in governance. However, incorporated 

societies are subject to stricter regulatory 

requirements, including annual financial 

reporting and the need to operate 

under a formal constitution that meets 

both the society’s purpose and practical 

management and requirements set out 

in legislation. There are also minimum 

member requirements and therefore this 

type of entity won’t suit all organisations. 

If you are considering the 

establishment of a new organisation, 

or require advice on your existing 

Incorporated Society or Charitable 

Trust, we are local and here to help.

STOKED: Lincoln University’s events co-ordinator Angelina King said organisers were pleased to see the community day 

attendance double from last year. 

Community day draws big crowds 

• By Isabella Adams 

ORGANISERS OF the Lincoln University 

Community Day were “absolutely stoked” 

to see the attendance double from last year. 

The event is a collaboration between 

Lincoln University and the student association 

(LUSA), and is run to open up the 

university’s campus to the community. 

It featured tours, food trucks, musical 

performances, sheep shearing, face painting 

and balloon making. 

The university also displayed its new 

Knegt electric tractor. 

Lincoln University event co-ordinator 

Angelina King said about 2500 people 

attended the community day on Sunday, 

more than double last year’s numbers. 

“We were hoping for huge numbers and 

we definitely got them. 

“You couldn’t see through the people, 

that’s how amazing it was. The numbers 

and the crowd that came, it was brilliant.” 

King said one of the most popular stalls 

on the day was face painting, which saw 

long queues. 

She said the event was important because 

it showcases, educates and informs 

the community about the university. 

“You’re welcome to come on to our 

campus and see what our brilliant students 

are doing and what we’ve got on offer.” 

LONG QUEUES: Face painting 

was among the more popular 

attractions on the day.

A warm welcome to new Kiwis in Selwyn 

In the Council’s recent citizenship ceremony, 

97 newcomers and long-term residents 

officially became Kiwis. 

Family, friends and supporters watched on as 

these individuals from 18 different countries, 

including Chile and Slovenia, received their 

New Zealand citizenship at the ceremony 

held at Tai Tapu Community Centre. 

Selwyn’s newest Kiwis were welcomed 

by Te Taumutu Rūnanga chairperson 

Liz Brown who opened the event, and 

a kapa haka performance from Tai Tapu 

primary school. 

Special guests included Major Julie Richardson 

from the Defence Force, and Councillors 

Sophie McInnes and Phil Dean. 

New citizen hailing from England, Sam Sharland 

says the ceremony was an incredibly emotional

“I have lived in New Zealand for 15 years, and 

my daughter was born here. We were warmly 

welcomed and made to feel comfortable and 

relaxed. Having my friends there made the 

experience even more special, and I am truly 

proud to now be called a Kiwi.” 

Also at the ceremony was Sofia Palacios from 

Chile. Sofia says the ceremony was really 

meaningful to her as she was joining her husband 

and son who are New Zealand citizens by birth. 

“When you grow up in a different country 

sometimes you feel you are neither from here nor 

there, but now that I am a citizen of Chile and 

New Zealand, I feel I’m from here and there. After 

11 years since I first landed here, I now have a 

feeling of belonging “ 

Increase in parking 

infringement fees 

Parking infringement fees, which are set by the 

Government and enforced by Selwyn District 

Council, will increase from 1 October 2024, 

two decades after they were originally set. The 

Government has agreed to an inflation-based 

increase and the Council’s parking compliance 

officers will be implementing the new fees. 

The Government’s changes apply a Consumer 

Price Index (CPI) increase to parking 

infringement fees, resulting in around a 70% 

increase. For example, the rise in fees is getting 

tougher for people parking in a mobility car park 

reserved for disabled people (with a valid permit 

on display), increasing from $150 to $750. 

Parking infringements can be issued for a 

number of offences relating to time limits, broken

Numbers booming for 

entrepreneur scheme 

A SCHEME which encourages 

students to run their own business 

is growing in popularity at 

Rolleston College. 

The Young Enterprise Scheme is 

a nationwide initiative with more 

than $20,000 in scholarships and 

prizes on offer for participating 

schools. 

More than 500 student-run 

businesses from across Canterbury 

will participate in the regional 

finals on October 30. 

Rolleston College currently 

has 20 students taking part in 

the scheme, with the number 

expected to grow to about 70 next 

year. 

Rolleston College YES teacher 

Brendan Lambert said the growth 

in the programme has been huge. 

“The programme enables 

students to push their boundaries 

in terms of product innovation, 

marketing, selling opportunities 

and consultation with mentors 

and industry experts. 

“YES is real world learning 

that has the potential to change 

students’ lives,” Lambert said 

Three teams from the school are 

expected to perform well in the 

competition. 

Team ConvertA Cleat created a 

3D printed golf cleat which can be

community. 

attached to any shoe with a robust 

sole to ensure grip on the greens. 

The six-member team came up 

with the idea through their love 

of golf and wanted to create a 

product for newcomers. 

“A lot of teenagers and younger 

people are starting to get into 

the sport,” said chief executive 

James Ballinger. 

“We targeted it to people who 

want a cheaper alternative to buying 

brand new golf shoes but instead 

who want their trendy shoes 

on the course to look the part.” 

Another participant from 

Rolleston College is Lucy 

Dunnlogan with her business, 

Dynamic Dance Photography. 

Lucy won best business pitch 

for Canterbury in the early 

rounds of the YES competition, 

and says her business has set her 

up for the future. 

“I don’t think I would have 

been able to do it on my own 

without the support of YES and 

it gave me the confidence to 

start. I always wanted to do it, 

but this was the start I needed.” 

The final team from Rolleston 

College is Tuhi Tiles. 

They created wooden tiles 

with the Te Reo Māori alphabet, 

which can be used as home 

decor. 

The group wanted to incorporate 

Māori culture in their 

product. 

“We realised this could be a 

great educational tool for kids, 

and a good way to promote Te 

Reo Māori in the community,” 

team member Rylie Long said. 

The regional finals for YES 

will be held at Ara Institute 

of Canterbury next month, 

with the national finals held in 

December. 

CLEATS FOR NEWCOMERS: ConvertA Cleat members 

James Ballinger, Tobias Delahunty, Oliver Hill, Restige Hale 

Mangar, Chase Stanley and Declan Frankland. 

SET UP: Lucy Dunnlogan said creating her dance photography 

business has set her up for the future.

AUDIOLOGIST, CHRIS, ALONGSIDE A HAPPY 

RESONATE CUSTOMER IN WHANGANUI 

Another happy customer. 

After having issues with other local 

places trying to get hearing aids for my 

husband, we booked in with Resonate 

Whanganui at the Whanganui home 

show. We loved the fact we could book 

appointments on a Saturday as owning 

our own business it is hard to make and 

attend weekday appointments. 

Chris absolutely blew us away and 

made the process of my husband 

getting hearing aids so easy. After 

a 1 hour and 30 minute appointment 

we were able to walk out with the 

hearing aids. We found the whole 

appointment great, Chris explained 

everything so well and made sure 

the hearing aids had no issues and 

we felt he went above and beyond. 

Will highly recommend.

Turning leafy greens into super protein 

• By Cosmo Kentish-Barnes 

FARMERS MAURY Leyland 

and John Penno have created a 

health food supplement based 

on protein extracted from leafy 

greens and in particular, locally 

grown lucerne (alfalfa). 

Their Rolleston-based company, 

Leaft Foods, is planning 

to bring the first products to 

market next year. 

Leaft’s team of scientists has 

developed a food-safe technology 

that extracts the protein, 

called rubisco, in a form that is 

highly digestible for people. 

“We’re nailing it at yields 

which are exciting and in a 

process which is highly circular,” 

Leyland said. 

The protein is responsible for 

the process of photosynthesis 

and is considered to be the most 

abundant protein on earth. 

Most people consume it when 

eating spinach, kale or other 

greens, but just not in the quantity 

that can be achieved following 

extraction and nutritional 

processing. 

“We’re aiming for the higher 

value uses,” she said. 

“So everything from high 

performance sport type applications 

to middle-aged women like 

me, who are looking to increase 

protein in their diet.” 

Lab results have demonstrated 

that the extracted leaf protein is

laboratory technology to extract protein from leafy greens such as lucerne. PHOTOS: RNZ 

as nutritionally viable as animal 

alternatives, while being easy for 

humans to digest and allergenfree. 

This makes it a potential alternative 

to wheat and soy-based 

options. 

The Leaft Foods headquarters 

is close to the arable farmers in 

Southbridge who are contracted 

to grow the lucerne, which is 

traditionally used as high energy 

feed for cattle and sheep. 

“It’s highly productive, it’s 

perennial, it fixes its own nitrogen 

and is deep rooted, so it’s 

drought tolerant,” Leyland said. 

The couple is hoping the 

extraction process will also provide 

a sustainable feed replacement 

on stock farms. 

“We’re going to be making a 

silage from the (leftover) fibre. 

It’s protein reduced and macerated, 

so easy for an animal to 

digest and has better outcomes 

in terms of emissions.” 

Leyland, who spent several 

years on the executive team 

at Fonterra and Penno, a cofounder 

of Synlait Milk, bought 

Okuroa Farms, a 700ha sheep 

and beef property, in 2020. 

Farm diversification based on 

climate change research was on 

their minds from the get go. 

They planted North Canterbury’s 

first commercial hop 

garden on 7ha near the Hurunui 

River and a pip fruit orchard 

with 20 varieties of apples, pears 

and cherries. 

“We looked at historical climate 

data before and one thing we 

noted was that the climate here 

now is similar to the Nelson Tasman 

region in the 1970s, so that 

was in our minds in terms of areas 

that may have been considered inappropriate 

for horticulture in the 

past, getting more appropriate.” 

It hasn’t taken long for the 

highly strung vines to find their 

feet. 

Cassels & Sons Brewing Company 

in Christchurch has already 

used the hops to craft a beer 

created entirely from Canterbury 

ingredients. 

“We’re doing this because 

we’re passionate about future 

opportunities for Canterbury, 

both in terms of our economy and 

the environment, so to have the 

chance to work with local breweries 

is definitely very much within 

our sights,” Leyland said.

STEVE BRYCE and Simon 

Moriarty took out a home club 

victory when they won the 

Lincoln Bowling Club’s under 

8s junior tournament at the 

weekend, earning themselves the 

$500 winner’s purse. 

Bryce and 

Moriarty won 

their three 

matches. So too 

did the team of 

Joc O’Connor 

(Allenton) and 

Neville Lancaster 

(Lincoln), 

and Allenton 

pair Denise Taylor 

and Gemma 

Andrews. 

But Bryce and 

Moriarty won, 

thanks to a superior 

net winning 

margin – 42 

shots, compared 

to O’Connor 

and Lancaster 

(35) and Taylor and Andrews 

(23). 

Bryce said he was delighted to 

come out on top. 

“Very happy with that, it was 

a very strong competition,” he 

said. 

The pair joined Lincoln four 

years ago and have seen success. 

They are both in the Canterbury 

development side and competed 

at the national open pairs competition 

last season, coming just 

a win shy of making it out of 

their section. 

Bryce said they are friends outside 

of bowls and their teamwork 

has helped them on the green. 

“We know how each other 

bowls now, and we’re sort of 

at the same level, so we get on 

pretty well. We give each other a 

bit of banter.” 

They are entering the nationals 

again this year, with Bryce also 

competing in the mixed pairs 

alongside Jayne McKay.

others and, unsurprisingly, she’s 

very popular.” 

Liz Hamilton, secretary of 

Bowls Darfield, agreed. 

“She’s the kind of person you 

want to play bowls with.” 

More often than not, Littlejohn 

plays with able-bodied bowlers. 

She competed in the Canterbury

season, finishing fourth in 

her section but falling short of 

making the quarter-finals.

Multisport 

festival for 

girls proves 

popular 

THE SELWYN Sports Trust held 

its third annual girls’ multisport 

festival on Thursday. 

More than 200 year 5-8 girls 

from Rolleston Christian School, 

Te Rohutu Whio and Darfield 

High attended and got to the 

chance to try softball, rugby, 

hockey, volleyball, and traditional 

Māori games. 

The event was set up to give 

young women a chance to try 

traditional and non-traditional 

sports in a environment with their 

peers, something that’s not always 

possible in a club setting. 

Operations manager Mitch 

Prendergast said the day went well. 

“They looked like they had an 

awesome time, it was a good day,” 

he said. 

He was grateful to Canterbury 

Rugby, Canterbury Softball, Canterbury 

Hockey and Canterbury 

Volleyball for having staff in attendance 

for their respective sports. 

“If we didn’t have the support of 

those organisations, then we definitely 

couldn’t do what we do.” 

The next multisport festival will 

likely be held at the same time next 

year. 


League side eyeing national glory 

after second Canterbury title win 


ROLLESTON College are 

looking to enter a team in next 

year’s national championships 

after taking out the Canterbury 

secondary school’s girls’ rugby 

league competition last week. 

The team, which features several 

Hornby High School players, 

won their second consecutive 

Canterbury title, beating Te Aho 

Matua ki Waitaha Kōtiro 36-14 in 

the final at Ngā Puna Wai. 

The two schools combined due 

to a lack of numbers individually, 

and compete under Rolleston’s 

banner – 10 of the girls in the 

squad attend the school with five 

from Hornby. 

With all the team being year 12 

or younger, manager and Rolleston 

deputy principal Alby Wilson 

said they were looking to enter a 

team in next year’s national secondary 

schools championships. 

“We feel next year is probably 

our prime, having those girls who 

are year 12, it (next year) will be 

their last year. 

“They’ll want to do something 

like this, they are our leaders of 

the team, so their motivation will 

definitely help.” 

Wilson admitted the side might

struggle for numbers with only 

15 in the squad for what was 

an 11-a-side tournament, while 

nationals are 20-person squads 

and 13-a-side. 

But he was confident they 

would manage. 

“We’ve done number crunching. 

We think once everyone’s fit 

from both schools, we’d be able to, 

even if we were to look at bringing 

in some of the Lincoln High 

School girls as well,” said Wilson. 

“It could just give that sort of 

Selwyn feel to the team and be 

great for this area. There’s a big 

league community out here, so 

to see the girls represent on the 

national stage would be a massive 

boost for the sport.” 

Talented loose forward Kayshana 

Rapana – who played for 

New Zealand under-16s last year 

– missed the season after suffering 

a knee injury that required 

surgery at the start of the year, 

but stuck around to help coach 

the team. 

“She’s very knowledgeable,” 

said Wilson. 

“This is the first time she’s 

sat out and can just coach. She 

probably would have asked to 

be a player-coach, but there was 

good learnings for her. Things 

like you can’t control what’s on 

the field, you’ve just got to trust 

the process. 

“Also, the girls really respect 

her, really listen to her, so it was 

better than trying to bring in 

another adult or support person.” 

The combined Rolleston- 

Hornby side would enter the 

girls’ development grade – an 

open competition – but would be 

unable to compete in the top-tier 

premiership as a combined team. 

Auckland will host the national 

secondary school championships 

in September next year.

Coach Chantelle Murray said she was 

doing everything possible to prepare the 

10-strong team for a big competition. 

“We’re doing as much as we can at training, 

so we did a dress rehearsal, they put 

on their sparkly togs, and we got a good 

turnout, so it kind of simulates competing 

in front of an audience,” she said. 

“Just doing all we can to prepare them 

without freaking them out that it’s a big 

event.” 

Murray said four team members had 

been to nationals before – Alex Wheeler, 

Amelia McConnochie, Clara Sellier and 

Emmerson Dickson. 

“We get our older girls to help them 

understand what it’s like to compete at that 

level and just sharing experiences from the 

older girls to the younger girls. 

“It’s nice it’s not coming from their coach 

all the time. It’s coming from experience, as 

opposed to me, as the coach, telling them 

what they should and shouldn’t expect.” 

TEAM: Selwyn’s artistic swimming team for the national championships. 

Front: Kelicia Purcell. Second row: Eliza Sellier, Clara Sellier, Mia Caro Riedel. 

Third row: Alex Wheeler, Kristina Stepchenko, Amelia McConnochie, Lucy 

Fogarty. Absent: Krista Wright. 

Murray was hopeful her athletes could get 

on the podium. 

“Anything could happen. I hope that they 

place and I hope they get some good results, 

but you never know. 

“We’ve got Christina, Amelia, they’re 

doing a duet and solo, and then we’ve got 

Clara, who is also doing a solo, and she’s 

the reserve for the duet, I’m pretty sure that 

they’ll, in some way or another, make it to 

the podium. 

“And then the other younger athletes, I hope 

we make the podium but I can’t be sure.” 

The artistic swimming national 

championships will be held at Waterworld in 

Hamilton.

What’s new in Term 4 at Risingholme? 

As the year slowly winds down, 

Risingholme’s course programme 

continues to ramp up with a suite 

of new courses and a workshop 

set to start in Term 4. For those 

who like to keep their hands 

busy crafting, the new ‘Art of 

Smocking’ course will equip you 

with the skills and knowledge that 

underpin this traditional form of 

embroidery. You’ll learn to make 

smocked decorations and heirloom 

clothing for babies and children 

in your family or even pamper 

yourself. Over this 8-week course 

participants will practice the 

basic smocking stitches and have 

completed a reference sampler as 

well as a small 

project to take 

home. It caters 

to the absolute 

novice who has an 

interest in learning 

to smock as well as 

those who want to 

refresh a skill not 

used for some time. 

Also added to 

the programme are 

four new wellnessbased 

courses led 

by tutor and mental 

fitness consultant, 

Sahera Laing. 

‘Grasping Anxiety’ 

is a course 

designed 

to help 

those with 

generalised anxiety to 

understand what, how, and 

why of the anxiety cycle. 

Starting with the basics, 

course participants will be 

introduced to strategies 

that can be easily applied to 

manage anxiety. Continuing 

a focus on self-awareness, 

‘Me Time for Women’ 

and ‘Self-Hypnosis for 

Relaxation and Results’ are 

two courses designed to 

help bring intention into 

your life through small and 

actionable steps that enable 

you to let go of old habits, 

embrace new ones, and focus on 

carving out time to check in with 

yourself. 

The final course, ‘Relational 

Relationships’ will set you on the 

path to developing your ability 

to communicate better, grow 

relationships, and understand 

your needs and the needs of those 

around you – essential skills to have 

in today’s connected world. 

Make the jump into learning 

something new and enrol today. 

Enrolments are open 24/7 on 

Risingholme’s website and 

look out for the 2025 course 

programme launching later this 

year in December.

PETS & PAWS 

Spring-the perfect time to treat 

your pets for fleas and worms 

The blossoms and daffodils are already 

appearing, and the days are getting 

warmer with the arrival of spring. 

Although treatment throughout the 

year is recommended, now is the perfect 

time for pet owners to be more vigilant 

about treating their furry friends for 

worms and fleas. The warmer weather

Kev (Mitcham Kev) is 2 1/2 years old and a 

gentle giant. He is a favourite of his kennel 

team. Quite shy initially, Kev takes some 

time to warm up but once he does, he is 

a sunny lad. Kev is very polite with other 

dogs of all sizes. No cats for Kev though 

as they are a little exciting! Kev would like 

a quiet relaxed home possibly in a semi 

rural location. He will be a devoted family 

member to his people.

Dog available for adoption through 

Greyhounds As Pets 

Theo is a loveable young lad with a lot 

of love to give. He is happy-go-lucky 

and a ray of sunshine. Theo can live 

with other dogs, or would be happy 

to be a solo dog. He enjoys walks and 

playing with teddies and toys. 

and being active outdoors create an ideal 

environment for these parasites to thrive. 

Fleas: Spring and summer are active 

times for fleas as they reproduce rapidly 

in warmer temperatures. Fleas are not just 

a nuisance; they can cause serious health 

issues for pets, including flea allergy 

dermatitis and tapeworms. If you notice

increased scratching, 

grooming, or fur 

loss, your pet may 

have fleas. You may 

also see fleas or flea 

dirt in their coat or 

have experienced 

flea bites yourself. To 

prevent and treat flea 

infestations, there are 

various flea control 

products, such as 

topical treatments, 

oral medications, flea 

collars, flea shampoo, 

and flea sprays and 

powders. For the best 

advice, consult your 

local vet. The adult 

flea is only 5% of 

the problem, so the 

remaining 95% (pupae, larvae, eggs) may 

be in your home! So, treating your home 

by vacuuming carpets and washing pet 

bedding in hot water is also essential.

hookworms, and tapeworms. These 

parasites can be picked up through 

contaminated soil, water, or fleas. Regular 

deworming is crucial, and how often 

you should treat them will depend on 

your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. 

Puppies and kittens are especially 

vulnerable and may need more frequent 

deworming, usually every two weeks 

until 12 weeks of age. You may not 

notice symptoms in pets but in young 

animals, you may notice diarrhoea, 

tummy bloating, weight loss and reduced 

appetite, not thriving, dehydration, or 

bottom dragging. Many worm treatments 

are available, but ensure they are suitable 

based on your pet’s weight and age. Do 

not use cat products on dogs and vice 

versa. 

Maintaining good hygiene is key, 

including regularly clearing the lawn of 

pet feces, cleaning your pet’s living area, 

and practicing good hand hygiene after 

handling pets can further reduce the risk 

of parasite infestations. 

Ensure a comfortable and healthy 

season for yourself and your pet by 

staying ahead of the game with proactive 

treatment against fleas and worms. If you 

have any concerns about parasite care for 

your pet, contact your vet.

Take an 

onion 

Diana Noonan dishes 

the dirt on how to 

grow a bumper crop of 

alliums and shallots 

ALMOST EVERY savoury recipe 

begins with “Take an onion …”, 

so if you want to grow your own 

onions and shallots, be prepared 

to give over a good proportion of 

the garden to them – within the 

space of a year, I would advise a 

quarter of all your edible garden 

space be devoted to onions, 

shallots, garlic and leeks. 

Onions and shallots are 

hungry plants, so thorough bed 

preparation is vital if they are 

to grow bulbs of a size that are 

convenient to use. Moreover, 

because we require these bulbs to 

keep, i.e. to dry off in such a way 

that they store as long into the 

year as possible, we also need to 

pay attention to what nutrients we 

feed into the ground. 

When it comes to tilth (the 

condition of the soil), shallots and 

onions are a little on the fussy 

side, but for a determined grower 

it is not a difficult task to give 

them what they require. 

Ground breaking 

Onions and shallots require a 

relatively fine tilth – very fine 

if growing either of them from 

seed, and slightly less so if you are 

growing them from sets (onion 

sets are young seedling plants 

sown in the previous autumn) or 

bulbs (shallots are usually grown 

from bulbs selected from the 

previous season’s crop). 

Onion and shallot beds can be 

of a no-dig style – in which case, 

follow no-dig advice, avoiding 

the use of any materials that 

may contain toxins. If you are 

establishing a regular-style garden 

bed from scratch, aim to begin 

work on it in the summer before 

it is required. Or, at the latest, 

during the autumn or winter prior 

to use. 

If you are preparing the garden 

in summer, lay black plastic over 

the ground for a few weeks to let 

the heat of the summer sun burn 

off the grass or weeds beneath. If 

you are beginning your garden 

in autumn or winter, chip off 

the grass or weeds with a sharp 

chopping hoe or grubber. 

After the weeds and grass 

have been burned or chipped off, 

dig up the ground to a depth of 

three-quarters of a spade blade. 

Turn the clumps over to let the 

weather break them down over 

the course of several weeks, then 

as the clumps begin to crumble, 

chop them up more finely and 

fork them over. 

Soil additives 

Onions and shallots are hungry 

plants and require a variety 

of nutrients. Whether you are 

creating a no-dig bed, amending 

an existing garden or starting a 

garden from scratch, the same soil 

additives will be required. 

Start by adding in as much 

bulky organic material, in the 

form of mature and sterilised 

compost, as you can lay hands on. 

Allow at least four to five 

household buckets per square 

metre, and double that if your 

soil is sandy. If your compost 

was made using animal manure, 

among other ingredients, there 

is no need to add more nitrogen 

to the soil. If it was made without

yourself requires thorough preparation.

animal manure, adding some 

nitrogen in the form of sterilised 

animal manure or sterilised 

garden centre manure pellets. 

Nitrogen can also be supplied 

by adding chopped seaweed to the 

soil. If you can’t lay your hands on 

organic sources of nitrogen, use a 

garden nitrogen fertiliser at a rate 

of 90-100g per square metre. 

Onions and shallots also have a 

greater chance of drying off well 

and storing through the winter if 

you scatter some bone dust over 

the soil and add some potassium 

in the form of kelp or pure wood 

ash derived from untreated wood 

(do not use wood ash that includes 

anything else as it may be toxic). 

You can also add potassium 

in the form of sulphate of potash 

(available at garden centres) at 

a rate of about 60g per square 

metre. Onions and shallots prefer 

soil with a pH level of 6.5-7.5 (a 

slightly acidic to neutral soil). Do 

a soil test to check out your pH 

level, or think about what grows 

well in your backyard. 

Ready, set, sow 

Once all your garden ingredients 

have been added to the soil, fork 

them in, creating a finer tilth as 

you go. If you plan to sow onion 

or shallot seed, sow it into long, 

narrow rows (20cm wide and 

The September issue of 

kiwigardener is available 

in stores now or visit 

kiwigardenermagazine.co.nz 

4–5cm deep) of very fine soil 

that has been crumbled between 

fingers or rubbed through a sieve. 

Winter heave ho! 

Shallots are generally frosttolerant. 

However, if frost occurs 

within a few weeks of planting, 

the bulbs are often dislodged 

from the ground through frost 

heave – a natural process whereby 

soil expands and contracts due to 

alternating periods of freezing and 

thawing. 

This movement in the soil can 

push bulbs, with roots not yet 

firmly established, up and out of 

the ground. If frost heave occurs, 

wait for the ground to thaw, then 

nestle the bulbs back into position. 

Protection 

The best-prepared bed can’t 

compete with cats, dogs or rabbits. 

Ward them off the bed with 

garden netting held up by hoops 

of number eight wire or willow 

pushed into the ground. Neglect 

this tiresome task and all your 

garden prep and planting will 

have been in vain. 

Mulching 

Once your onions and shallots 

have 5-10cm long green tops 

and providing the weather is 

consistently mild, consider placing 

mulch between them to help 

suppress weeds. 

Harvest times 

Onions grown from seed are 

usually harvestable within a few 

months. Shallots grown from seed 

produce small bulbs that should 

be dried and stored for replanting 

the following year (after which 

they will produce a crop suitable 

for use in the kitchen).

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

Girls ‘N’ Gasoline - Empowered 

and confident under the bonnet 

Advertising Feature 

Whether it’s girls seeking independence 

who feel intimidated going into a 

workshop, struggle to understand what 

they are told, or feel they are being taken 

for a ride when it comes to automotive 

repairs and maintenance, Melissa Hannan 

has been breaking down barriers with 

her Girls ‘N’ Gasoline car maintenance 

workshops. 

Melissa, a full-time trade-certified 

Automotive Mechanic, began offering 

workshops last November to share her 

16 years of experience in the field. She 

was inspired to do so after realising that 

many people lack basic knowledge about 

car maintenance. Melissa was surprised 

to learn that some individuals know little 

about fundamental vehicle maintenance 

practices, including attempting to pour oil 

into the car through the dipstick tube. She 

emphasises that being a mechanic is not 

just a job but a passion, stating, “I live and 

breathe cars.” 

Now, she wants other females to feel 

confident about automotive maintenance, 

so she also teaches classes around New 

Zealand for small groups of up to eight 

females. Sponsored by Repco and CRC, 

she tries to hold classes in one town a 

month, where she may do two classes in 

one day or over the weekend, depending 

on interest. Each class lasts 2.5 to 3 hours, 

with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. 

The small class size allows everyone to 

see what’s happening and to chat, and 

there’s plenty of time for each person to 

have a turn changing a wheel. Melissa 

says, “Whenever I finish a class, it’s such 

a highlight, I’m buzzing.” She loves the 

positive feedback and comments she gets 

after class, especially from mums who 

sent their daughters along and said she’s 

making a difference, changing lives, and 

boosting confidence. 

Melissa’s plans include taking these 

workshops to schools, running them for 

family and community groups, taking 

one-on-one classes or at a more advanced 

level, and attending career expos. She 

hopes to share her passion for the trade; 

her advice to females interested in getting 

into the trades is, “If you want to do it, 

stick at it.” It is not easy, and even though 

it is getting easier and more acceptable, 

there are always going to be negative 

comments. Push past it. Believe in 

yourself.” 

With Melissa’s expert knowledge, 

motivation, and empowerment, the 

Girls ‘N’ Gasoline classes are extremely 

popular. If you feel nervous about going 

into an automotive workshop or store, or 

you’ve decided it’s time to learn the basics 

about your car, then Melissa is keen to 

help you on your automotive journey. 

Check out her Facebook page, 

Girls ‘N’ Gasoline, to sign up for a 

class or to find more information.

Futuristic Staria a smooth operator 

FOR DECADES, New Zealand’s 

commercial van landscape has 

been ruled by the Toyota Hiace, 

with acres of sales daylight 

between it and some very 

capable rivals, including the 

Hyundai Staria Load. 

While this model and a 

chasing pack of European and 

fast-improving Chinese offerings 

are working to hard to chip away 

at the Hiace’s market share, its 

mantle of king of our new van 

kingdom looks rock solid. 

Hyundai’s Load is a relatively 

fresh face on the van block and 

packed with advanced safety 

and connectivity technology 

plus edgy futuristic styling. 

Those with a sense of adventure 

and seeking a van that gets 

their business noticed on the 

road will love the Staria Load. In 

some ways, it’s a van ahead of its 

time with its looks, technology 

and safety features. However, I 

get a sense that these attributes 

are unlikely to fire the imaginations 

of conservative van buyers 

who prefer the tried and true, 

and the Toyota Hiace encapsulates 

all that and more. 

Buying a van for the most 

part is a business decision and 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

trust plays a huge part in the 

purchasing process. This plays 

right into the hands of the Hiace 

with a trust rating that’s off the 

scale. 

It’s disappointing that three 

years into its model life the 

Staria Load doesn’t have some 

electrified power train options, 

given Hyundai is a big player in 

the electrified vehicle market in 

New Zealand. 

The pressure is on them and 

others in this segment to make 

the switch, especially given the 

rapid advances Chinese vanmaker 

LDV is making in this 

area, with a line up of affordable 

full EV models. 

Despite the lack of electric 

options, Hyundai has done a 

fine job with the Staria Load, 

a worthy replacement for its 

popular predecessor the iLoad. 

A four strong model range 

starts with a two seater $59,990 

six-speed manual, and is 

followed by three eight-speed 

auto versions. The two-seater 

auto is priced at $62,990. A rear 

barn door variant nudges the 

asking price up another $1k, and 

that amount again if you fancy 

the versatile five-seat option. 

The Hiace by comparison 

is more affordable across the 

board, and in these challenging 

economic times for businesses, 

that doesn’t help the Staria’s 

cause. 

However, the Hiace has 

become a victim of its own 

success with high global demand 

stretching wait times, that, 

depending on the model, could 

be the end of this year and into 

2025. This will sorely the test the 

patience of the staunchest Hiace 

devotees, leaving the sales door 

slightly ajar for alternatives such 

as the Staria. 

For this road test we are 

putting the $62,990 two-seater 

Staria Load automatic through 

its paces. 

Under the bonnet is a proven 

130kW 2.2-litre turbo diesel 

producing 440Nm of torque, 

outputs that closely mirror the 

larger 2.8-litre diesel powering 

the Hiace. 

The Hyundai diesel is lively 

and well primed to deliver on 

its brief as a modern, safe and 

refined van. 

The test vehicle started off on 

the right foot, impressing with 

the smoothness of the motor, 

helped by a modern eight-speed 

automatic. 

Even a decent amount of 

cargo onboard doesn’t blunt the 

engine’s high energy levels and 

work rate. 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 6; Styling 6; 

Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for money: 

5; Safety – Five star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 6.5 

This is among the most 

relaxing and capable vans I have 

driven, although to be fair, I 

haven’t recently driven any of 

the latest European van brigade 

led by the likes of the Ford 

Transit Custom and Volkswagen 

Transporter. 

The Staria Load’s eight-speed 

automatic is borrowed from the 

soon to be replaced Hyundai 

Santa Fe SUV. It feels right at 

home in the Staria, so much so, 

you would think it was born 

to live life in a commercial 

vehicle. What owners get is a 

transmission that revels in the 

rigors of the day-to-day grind of 

every day van life. 

A spacious, light, airy, and 

modern cabin provides an 

excellent workspace most drivers 

will enjoy. Lowered beltlines and 

expansive side windows offer 

excellent visibility and create a 

feeling of openness. 

The load area, while not as 

generous as some, most notably 

the Hiace, is still competitive 

with 4935 litres of cargo 

capacity. 

Most importantly, it’s big 

enough to fit a full-size pallet. 

This earns the Staria its stripes 

as a bona fide van, and is helped 

along the way with features such 

as dual sliding side doors. 

The rear of the vehicle is 

distinguished by window 

framed vertical tail lamps, and 

taking the huff and puff out of 

loading and unloading is a nifty 

lowered bumper. 

Driver information is 

delivered via a front display 

screen, and touch-based centre 

fascia, and there is a well-sorted 

suite of safety technology 

including forward collision 

avoidance assist. 

Lifting the Staria to the 

top of its ride comfort game, 

is a modern multi-link rear 

suspension, while rejigged brake 

calipers and discs provide strong 

reassuring stopping power. 

For a tall-ish van, this one 

is composed, balanced, and 

surprisingly agile when driven 

briskly over undulating terrain, 

and shows an unexpected 

playful side. This isn’t normally 

programmed into the DNA of 

vans so it’s a great but rare find. 

After being sold on the strong 

showing of the suspension, the 

steering was less endearing and 

let down by a lack of road feel, 

and not engaging with the driver 

as fully as it could or should be. 

The modern suspension effortlessly 

deflects the full spectrum 

of bump and ruts found on our 

roads, a quality that will endear 

it those whose work place is 

behind the wheel of a Staria. 

Factor in the comfy and 

supportive seats and some 

drivers may find it a hard place 

to leave at the end of the day.

Show homes platform 

building ideas 

Show homes give building companies the opportunity 

to showcase their work while illustrating innovative ideas 

for a new home. 

Many of these companies choose one of their popular 

house designs, making some changes to present those 

visiting the show home with options for including in 

their own new home. Often, the home is built to a certain 

specification. It might be an entry level home or one with 

more features. 

When viewing each show home, enquire about its size 

and the specifications applied, checking whether any 

additional features have been included in the home. Ask 

for the build price – with and without the extras. 

Show homes provide an indication of the type of work 

a particular housing company generally undertakes. This 

is why larger building companies with a broader 

approach will have more than one show home to 

view, within the same subdivision or across the 

district and city. 

As you walk through each room of the show home, 

assess the quality of the build as well as the fittings 

incorporated. These will indicate the level of finish 

you can expect if building with that company. 

Ask to see the company’s library of house plans to 

gain an idea of the range available to choose from. 

You may also enquire as to the level of change you 

can request to any design. Ascertain whether the firm 

will work with you from scratch to draw up a design 

if this suits your needs. The flexibility in this regard 

does vary from one building company to another. 

Look at the orientation of living to bedrooms for 

each home and weigh this up against your section 

or the block of dirt you are considering purchasing. 

Remember, a basic rule is to choose a final design 

once you have secured your building site to ensure your 

new home is positioned to maximise sun and light. 

Other questions to ask include: 

• What is the timeframe from signing your contract to 

completion of your new home? 

• Does the company have ‘spec’ homes available to view 

which might suit your needs? 

• Will you work with the salesperson or someone else 

through the whole process? 

• Will you have your own contact person during the 

build? 

• Will you be permitted to go on site once building is 

underway, albeit after consulting the company in 

advance? 

• Will progress payments be due only after each stage 

of work is completed? (This can protect you should 

something go wrong.) 

• Does the company provide turnkey options? 

• Is or can landscaping be part of the package? 

Before heading out to visit show home villages, 

brainstorm other questions you would like answers 

to. The more you learn the better position you will be 

in, to make an informed decision on what to build 

and with whom.

Extending outdoor living 

17 

Rain and wind-proofing an outdoor space adds value to a property. With a roof 

or clear vinyl sides, your buyers can see an area where rain doesn’t stop play. 

Thanks to blitz advertising, 

most Kiwis have heard the name 

Archgola. The company and others 

like it can add canopies to decks, 

enclosing the space for year-round 

use. 

Undercover verandas, pergolas 

and gazebos can be turned into 

living space by adding side 

panels, which effectively create a 

conservatory. Restaurants often use 

these spaces, so there’s no reason 

why home owners can’t as well. 

Roll-down clear vinyl blinds 

are a popular choice, which, if 

you’re lucky, can be bought ready made 

from hardware stores such as Bunnings 

and Mitre10. If not, there are plenty of 

companies that will custom manufacture 

to fit. Usually these blinds zip into place 

and are stored using a rope-and-pulley 

system. 

Mounting your blinds is very simple. 

Typically it involves screwing the 

mountings into wood or installing a track 

then fitting the blind. 

Other options include roll-up shade 

cloths or other gazebo or veranda sides, 

such as canvas. These aren’t as windproof 

as the vinyl blinds, meaning they’re not a 

12-month solution. 

If you don’t already have an outdoor 

living space, building a pergola doesn’t 

generally need planning permission.. 

Provided the pergola is less than 10 sq 

m in size, it is usually okay to add a roof. 

But a quick call to the council is a good 

idea; never risk building an unpermitted 

structure. 

Another option for quick and easy rain 

and windproof outdoor living is a pop-up 

gazebo. These can be turned into dining 

areas to give buyers a glimpse of what they 

could do themselves. 

It’s important to dress them so it doesn’t 

look like you’ve just plonked a gazebo 

on the lawn. Lights, plants, furniture and 

even place settings can really give a gazebo 

the Pinterest touch and bring it to life as 

an outdoor entertaining hub for the home. 

The more you pay for pop-up gazebos, 

the better UV protection of the fabric and 

powder coating of the steel you get. 

Heating the outdoor space also makes it 

more usable. The cheap option is a patio 

heater. Permanent gas, wood or pellet 

fireplaces and fire pits are easier on the 

eye and can make a design statement, allimportant 

when selling a home. 

For wind protection, it’s reasonably 

simple to erect trellis and staple brush 

sides to it or the existing fence. 

Bamboo is particularly good for this 

purpose, especially if you have access to a 

free source - although you could also buy 

it at all good hardware stores.

Purchasing 

the right 

section 

for you 

Orienting a home towards the sun is 

critical when building for guaranteeing 

a warmer brighter home while adding 

value to the property. 

Before finalising the purchase of a 

section, sort out the basics of the house 

design you want and check it will work 

on that piece of land. Visit showhomes 

and look at how they are sited and talk 

to building company consultants, your 

architectural designer or architect. 

Weigh up where you want the sun to 

be at different times of the day. Once, 

kitchens and living areas were located 

on the cooler side of a home due to the 

coal range burning most of the day, 

which kept the home warm. Today, 

we look to the sun for that extra free 

heating so having sun in the rooms we 

use throughout the day is an advantage. 

For example, a sunny dining area around 

breakfast can be a nice way to start the 

day while warmth in living areas midmorning 

to late afternoon and sunny 

bedrooms later in the day can be ideal. 

With many sections there is a trade-off 

where some rooms may not get much 

sun. If possible position service areas 

like the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets and 

laundry on the south and southeast. 

Having a street view depends on 

personal taste while a sunny yard for 

outdoor living with some protection 

from prevailing nor’ westerly or easterly 

winds are also good aims. From the 

outset, work with your consultant or 

designer so you end up with the best 

possible design for your section and 

living needs. 

If building in a new housing estate 

its covenants will need to be observed. 

These rules state what is acceptable to 

the developer in keeping with the vision 

and standard for the subdivision. Some 

covenants are quite specific stating 

the type of cladding that can be used, 

acceptable roof pitch, and other design 

features, especially where they face the 

street. The types of materials and colours 

that can be used might also be required 

and a landscaping plan for the front yard 

expected. 

All details need to be provided to the 

subdivision developer and signed off, 

before the build starts. It is therefore best 

to address this before lodging building 

consent, in case critical changes need to 

be made to the design or materials. A 

bond is also often required to be lodged 

as protection against any damage to the 

roadside curbing and other aspects of the 

estate so factor this into your budget. 

The Selwyn District Council often 

requires a Geotech and soil test reports 

are included with any building consent 

application. If building in a new subdivision, 

talk to your developer’s 

representative as these may already be 

available. Of course, a due diligence 

check by you and your lawyer before 

purchasing any block of dirt will help 

avoid any issues.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

All that glitters… 

23 

in the Selwyn District 

Flashes of chrome, glimpses of gold, 

and slivers of silver – when it comes to 

interiors, the metallic trend that kicked off 

earlier this year shows no signs of stopping. 

The good news is the trend is easy to 

introduce into your living spaces and can 

be achieved without breaking the bank. 

It also works in pretty much every room 

- from bathrooms to bedrooms, dining 

rooms to kitchens – meaning you can go all 

out, if you fancy, or take a more restrained 

approach, if that’s more your thing. 

If you’re keen to incorporate the trend 

into your home, without making it look 

like the set of a science-fiction movie then 

read on. 

Matte matters 

When you think of metallics, your mind 

most likely goes to high-shine, glitzy 

finished, but to nail the ‘quiet luxury’ trend 

that dominating homes lately, consider 

brushed gold and brass. 

These luxe-looking metals will instantly 

bring some understated glamour and 

elegance to your home and offer a much 

warmer feel than more stark metals, such 

as chrome. 

You can match these chic matte metals 

with a range of colour schemes, but they 

work especially well with a subtle, muted 

palette. They can also add another layer 

to natural-inspired interiors and sit well 

alongside linen, stone and other organic 

materials. 

An additional benefit of non-polished 

metals is that they don’t show up 

fingerprints, dust or marks as much as 

their high-shine counterparts. 

Play it cool… or don’t 

Metallics can heat things up or cool them 

down, depending on which metal you 

choose. Which will work best in your home 

depends on your current interiors – as a 

general rule, silver and chrome are cooltones 

and work best with minimalist and 

modern homes; while gold, gilt, copper 

and brass are much warmer tones and will 

fit in well with more traditional interiors. 

Warmer metal finishes sit perfectly with 

opulent fabrics, such as velvet and faux fur, 

as well as rich colour palettes and jewel 

tones. They also amp up the cosy factor, 

making them ideal for bedrooms and 

reception areas. 

Meanwhile cooler metal finishes look 

great paired with glass, leather and a simple 

colour palette – but don’t be afraid to inject 

a few pops of colour to avoid it looking 

sterile and boring. 

Less is more 

You’re probably familiar with the old 

adage ‘less is more’ and this is certainly the 

case when it comes to adding metal into 

your interiors. 

Bring too much metal into your home 

and you run the risk of making it look like 

a warehouse or industrial kitchen. Not 

exactly what you want, right? 

So, the trick is to keep it subtle - think 

of the metallic finishes as a light dusting 

to catch the eye and add interest to your 

spaces. 

Low-key and understated ways to 

introduce the trend to your home include 

accent metals on door handles, switch 

plates and other fixings; swapping out 

boring taps for brushed brass; grabbing 

an eye-catching lamp in chrome or gilt; or 

seeking out some metallic trinkets for your 

shelves. 

To put it simply, avoid overpowering a 

room and you’re golden.
