War medals<br />

ALL CRAIG and Catherine Welsh<br />
want is the return of family heirlooms,<br />
including war medals, taken during the<br />
burglary of their home.<br />
They are now scouring social media<br />
sites, including Facebook Marketplace,<br />
and have been in contact with pawn<br />
shops, in the hope they will turn up.<br />
Their home in Goulds Rd, Rolleston,<br />
was broken into two weekends ago when<br />
they were away on holiday. It was one<br />
of four homes in the West Rolleston/<br />
Brookside which have been burgled in<br />
recent weeks, police say.<br />
Catherine said the burglary was<br />
devastating.<br />
The burglar took her late father<br />
Corporal Doug Stanton’s military<br />
medals. He served in Malaya, Borneo,<br />
and Vietnam where he was wounded in<br />
the leg on Valentine’s Day 1968.<br />

MALCOLM LYALL has<br />
really opened up a hornets’<br />
nest leading into this year’s<br />
local body elections.<br />
They might be still several<br />
months away but the political<br />
drums are beating over his<br />
“old Pakeha men living in<br />
the past” comment, reported<br />
in last week’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
Today, the argy-bargy<br />
(page 3) continues between<br />
Lyall and Stuart McKinlay,<br />
the Lincoln resident who<br />
made a complaint to the<br />
council about Lyall’s<br />
comment.<br />
Lyall is unrepentant.<br />
We have received a swag of<br />
reader responses (see pages<br />
14-15) to last week’s article.<br />
There were also a number<br />
events<br />
Page 17<br />
which could not be published<br />
because of space. All of<br />
those were critical of Lyall,<br />
and the council for making<br />
a submission against the<br />
Treaty Principles Bill.<br />
October’s election will be<br />
very interesting.<br />

NEWS 3<br />
Lyall unrepentant amid backlash<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
DEPUTY MAYOR Malcolm<br />
Lyall is not backing down about<br />
his comments towards a ratepayer<br />
who laid a complaint against him.<br />
Lyall called supporters of the<br />
Treaty Principles Bill “old Pākehā<br />
men living in the past” during a<br />
debate on the bill during the final<br />
council meeting of last year.<br />
That led to Lincoln resident<br />
Stuart McKinlay complaining<br />
to the council, calling Lyall’s<br />
remarks “racist” and “offensive”.<br />
Lyall was unapologetic about the<br />
complaint, which was dismissed,<br />
saying it was “a badge of honour”.<br />
Now McKinlay has responded,<br />
calling Lyall’s response “stupid”.<br />
“This ridiculous statement by<br />
Malcolm Lyall coupled with his<br />
lack of respect for ratepayers who<br />
elected him to represent their<br />
interests, suggests he is not fit<br />
to hold the office of councillor,’<br />
McKinlay told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
During the debate, Lyall said the<br />
council must continue supporting<br />
the treaty, “and not bow down to<br />
the pressure of Hobson’s Pledge<br />
and some old Pākehā men who are<br />
living in the past.”<br />
It was the phrase “some old<br />
Pākehā men who are living in the<br />
past” which was the subject of<br />
McKinlay’s complaint.<br />
Lyall told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> while<br />
his comments in the meeting were<br />
directed at Hobson’s Pledge, a<br />
lobby group founded by former<br />
Act leader Don Brash in 2016, he<br />
also does not support “the old settler<br />
mentality”.<br />
Said McKinlay in response:<br />
“This racist comment by the<br />
deputy mayor was apparently<br />
quite acceptable to Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton and chief executive<br />
Sharon Mason when they decided<br />
no further action was to be taken<br />
in respect to my complaint.”<br />
Lyall, who would not say<br />
whether he is planning to run<br />
for council again in this year’s<br />
election, told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
McKinlay should “put his money<br />
where his mouth is” and run for<br />
council himself.<br />
The debate has sparked numerous<br />
letters to <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> on<br />
both sides of the issue (pages<br />
14-15).<br />
McKinlay also called out the<br />
other councillors who supported<br />
making a submission.<br />
STRONG VIEWS: Malcolm Lyall has put up a sign outside<br />
his home in support of the Treaty of Waitangi.<br />
PHOTOS: DANIEL ALVEY/ GEOFF SLOAN<br />
“Other councillors who<br />
supported making a submission<br />
opposing the Treaty Principles<br />
Bill did so because of their<br />
mistaken belief that New<br />
Zealand is a bicultural society.<br />
Māori and non-Māori, and cogovernance<br />
of local government<br />
is therefore consistent with their<br />
understanding of the treaty.<br />
“Equality between Māori and<br />
non-Māori, the essence of Act’s<br />
Treaty Principles Bill, would<br />
see the end of co-governance<br />
and the abandonment of special<br />
rights and privileges for Māori,”<br />
McKinlay said.<br />
Lyall was aware his views on<br />
the issue could lose him votes if<br />
he decides to stand again, but said<br />
he was not worried.<br />
The majority of letters received<br />
rejected Lyall’s comments and<br />
opposed the council’s submission<br />
against the bill.<br />
Said Aylesbury resident Graham<br />
Bethell: “Stuart McKinlay<br />
was correct and his complaint<br />
should have been upheld. Just<br />
imagine if he had criticised ‘some<br />
old Māori men for living in the<br />
past’. All hell would have resulted,<br />
with Lyall and Broughton being<br />
the noisiest.”<br />
Along with the opposition,<br />
there was also support for Lyall<br />
and the council.<br />
Said Lincoln resident Ann<br />
Judson Farr: “It was a welcome<br />
change to read the positive<br />
comments from Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton.”<br />
During the meeting in December<br />
where Lyall made his comments,<br />
the council debated what<br />
would be included in its submission,<br />
as the views of ratepayers’<br />
had not been canvassed.<br />
In its submission, the council<br />
focused on how the bill would<br />
affect its operations and<br />
partnerships, which includes<br />
providing a seat around the<br />
council table for local iwi.<br />

EARLY SURVEY results suggest<br />
growing dissatisfaction between<br />
Prebbleton residents and the<br />
council.<br />
The Prebbleton Community<br />
Association is currently analysing<br />
the results of a survey, carried<br />
out at the end of last year,<br />
to gauge the public’s needs and<br />
whether residents still felt the<br />
association was relevant.<br />
Half of the responses have<br />
been accounted for so far, with<br />
almost all saying the association<br />
is needed, PCA chair Jane Elms<br />
said.<br />
The survey has revealed dissatisfaction<br />
with the lack of<br />
progress over a new community<br />
centre.<br />
“It’s upset a lot of people,” said<br />
Elms.<br />
A new community centre<br />
has been in the council’s longterm<br />
plans since 2008, but has<br />
continuously been put off due to<br />
lack of funding.<br />
Whether the centre replaces<br />
the existing Prebbleton Hall<br />
(above) will be dependent on<br />
the design of the new centre,<br />
Prebbleton Hall chair Graeme<br />
Gemmill said.<br />
Gemmill criticised deputy<br />
mayor and Prebbleton resident<br />
Malcolm Lyall for his lack of advocacy<br />
in council for the muchneeded<br />
community centre.<br />
Lyall told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> he has<br />
tried to get a new community<br />
centre for the past 15 years but<br />
has not had the support of his<br />
fellow councillors, meaning the<br />
project has not made the list.<br />
Gemmill said it has been frustrating<br />
to see other townships’<br />
projects be prioritised by council<br />
ahead of theirs, namely Leeston’s<br />
community centre Whata Rau<br />

Lack of progress on new<br />
facility frustrates residents<br />
and Darfield’s new basketball<br />
complex.<br />
“We’re the third largest<br />
township in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and we<br />
don’t even have a building large<br />
enough to hold the school’s final<br />
assembly,” he said.<br />
Lyall said it was up to the<br />
community to decide what the<br />
facility could include, how big<br />
it should be and where it should<br />
go, something he was not sure<br />
they had done.<br />
The council’s latest long-term<br />
plan includes investigating a<br />
new community centre, with<br />
a plan to build between 2026-<br />
2033.<br />
In 2016, council identified five<br />
‘fast track projects’ including a<br />
community centre for Prebbleton.<br />
The others were completed,<br />
but the Prebbleton project did<br />
not get off the ground.<br />
In 2018, the community centre<br />
was planned again for 2019-2021<br />
at a cost of $5.5m.<br />
The council’s 2021-2031 Long<br />
Term Plan then allocated $6.3m<br />
to build a community centre in<br />
<strong>2025</strong>-2026.<br />
The lack of transparency has<br />
been especially frustrating for<br />
the hall committee, Gemmill<br />
said, as it has left them uncertain<br />
about how much renovation<br />
should be done on the current<br />
facility.<br />
The PCA and hall committee<br />
is looking to move forward in<br />
conjunction with the council,<br />
Gemmill said.<br />
He emphasised the<br />
importance of being realistic<br />
with the design of the new<br />
centre and understands the<br />
restrictions rate rises have had<br />
on council decisions.<br />

SPCA TAKES LEAD ON<br />
DOG ATTACK<br />
The SPCA has taken over<br />
investigating the distressing<br />
security camera footage of a<br />
man violently attacking a dog<br />
in Rolleston. Initially handled<br />
by police, the investigation was<br />
passed on to the SPCA last week.<br />
Said SPCA national inspectorate<br />
manager Alan Wilson: “We are<br />
currently conducting inquiries<br />
into the matter. As such, we are<br />
unable to provide further details<br />
at this time.” Wilson urged<br />
anyone with information about<br />
the incident to contact the SPCA.<br />
POLICE ALERTED AFTER<br />
SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR,<br />
CAR RECOVERED<br />
Police have arrested two offenders<br />
following a report of suspicious<br />
behaviour by some quickthinking<br />
people in a Rolleston<br />
supermarket car park. The<br />
arrest followed a vehicle being<br />
stolen from Gloucester St in<br />
Christchurch in the early hours<br />
of Saturday morning. About<br />
3.20pm Saturday, members of the<br />
public spotted two people acting<br />
suspiciously around vehicles in<br />
the Rolleston car park. Police<br />
were able to identify and locate<br />
the two men involved in a stolen<br />
vehicle nearby, and take them<br />
into custody. The vehicle has since<br />
been returned to its owner.<br />

Summer programme made Arthur’s Pass the place<br />
to be at New Year<br />
The Arthur’s Pass community kicked off <strong>2025</strong><br />
with their annual summer series of free events,<br />
which has been running for over 50 years<br />
and is supported by several local and<br />
conservation organisations.<br />
The Council’s contribution through the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Community Fund helps cover extra costs that<br />
continue to enhance the summer programme,<br />
supporting the tradition that brings locals and<br />
bach holders together over the New Year period<br />
to explore the beauty of the Arthur’s Pass National<br />
Park on their doorstep.<br />
Fi Neale, event organiser for <strong>2025</strong> says the<br />
programme is a great chance to remind people of<br />
local conservation efforts around our kea, kiwi and<br />
back country huts and share local history.<br />
“It also gives people the opportunity to experience<br />
the National Park with enthusiastic and<br />
knowledgeable locals. The Community Fund is<br />
great because it enables participants to take<br />
part in activities with no cost and with<br />
quality materials.”<br />
She says this year’s programme was very<br />
successful with lots of events that a wide variety<br />
of people could enjoy, from guided walks to crafts<br />
and story time.<br />
Over 30 people attended the quiz night which<br />
was a great event with lots of laughs and fun<br />
prizes donated kindly by locals and from Fire<br />
and Emergency NZ and Forest and Bird North<br />
Canterbury. Some of the other popular events<br />
included the alpine pirate treasure hunt, and<br />
the miniature back country hut building.<br />
If you’re looking for something to do over the next<br />
New Year period, add the Arthur’s Pass summer<br />
programme to your calendar.<br />

Also taken were Craig’s grandfather’s<br />
(Lindsay Welsh) medals from World War<br />
2, Catherine’s jewellery box that contained<br />
her father’s wedding ring, her own<br />
engagement ring, a kotuku bone carving<br />
given to her on her 21st birthday and a<br />
pair of greenstone earrings.<br />
She said her father would be angry about<br />
the theft.<br />
“He’d be pretty furious, not only did he<br />
serve but when he retired he was the area<br />
rep for the Hawke’s Bay Vietnam Association<br />
and president of the Taradale RSA,”<br />
she said.<br />
The medals represented much more<br />
than her father’s service.<br />
“It was everything he did, the ethos<br />
he lived by, his conduct as a soldier and<br />
a veteran. To us, as a family, you cannot<br />
replace that.”<br />
Catherine said she noticed immediately<br />
“something different” when they returned<br />
home – some of the curtains had been<br />
drawn. Once inside they quickly realised<br />
there had been a burglary.<br />
TVs had been unscrewed from walls and<br />
left on the floor, possibly indicating the<br />
burglar was going to return.<br />
Said Craig: “Drawers had been turned<br />
upside down, tools are missing, the kids’<br />
Christmas cash – looks like stuff they can<br />
shove in their pockets.”<br />
They soon realised the medals were also<br />
gone.<br />
The emotional damage of being broken<br />
into, particularly for their sons, was also<br />
evident.<br />
Catherine said it was difficult calling her<br />

“In our family, medals are passed to the<br />
eldest sibling – they are not given, they are<br />
entrusted to – was hard calling my brother<br />
in Australia and hearing his voice crack,”<br />
she said.<br />
They said they’ve been lucky with support<br />
from neighbours, and urged people<br />
to check in on each other if they notice<br />
something out of place.<br />
Said Craig: “I know how hard this is<br />
hurting Catherine, out of everything that<br />
was taken if Doug’s medals were returned<br />
it would help Catherine a lot – that one<br />
thing would make a big difference.”<br />
Said Catherine: “The mana and tapu of<br />
the medals is of such value that you cannot<br />
buy and sell.<br />
“For us, especially the medals, there’s no<br />
real monetary value for the thieves<br />
and buyers, but they’re invaluable to the<br />
ones who know and love the people who<br />
earned them.”<br />
In February and March we will be using<br />

Weed control clears the active part of the river channel<br />
that carries fast flowing water during floods.<br />
The riverbeds will be surveyed, and only targeted weeds<br />
will be sprayed.<br />

The association will also have its<br />
appeal to the Local Government<br />
Commission about the council’s<br />
new ward structure heard in<br />

The appeal targets the decision of<br />
the council to not include<br />

instead.<br />
Lincoln<br />
The Lincoln Community and<br />

Acting chair<br />
Lindsay Wilson<br />
said the group’s<br />
first chair Vic<br />
Wadhams has<br />
resigned after moving<br />
out of town.<br />
Wilson said the<br />
committee was<br />
Lindsay<br />
Wilson<br />
working through<br />
the process of appointing a new<br />
chair, which would likely happen in<br />
the next month or two.<br />
Once it appoints a chair, it plans<br />
to continue looking at the Lincoln<br />
Town Centre plans.<br />
“Most of the businesses are<br />
still unhappy with the plans,”<br />
Wilson said.<br />
Wilson said the association<br />
wants to work with the council<br />
on the design of the plan before<br />
the removeal of on-street car park<br />

The trip included a visit to the<br />
air force museum at Wigram, and<br />
a picnic.<br />

THE NEW Lincoln Town<br />
Centre is set to start with the<br />
construction of the northern<br />
and southern car parks next<br />
month.<br />
The project will get under<br />
way after the council awarded<br />
the contract to Fulton Hogan.<br />
The 100 new car parks will<br />
be situated between Lyttleton<br />
St and Maurice St, and off<br />
Gerald St beside Maurice St.<br />
The council says the car<br />
parks are designed to support<br />
access to the town centre and<br />
improve the availability of<br />
parking for residents, visitors,<br />
and businesses, enhancing<br />
accessibility to the town’s<br />
amenities and services.<br />
Once the car parks have<br />
been built the council plans to<br />
remove about 80 angled and<br />
on-street car parks from Gerald<br />
St, a move that has drawn<br />
criticism from businesses which<br />
were concerned people would<br />
no longer stop due to the lack of<br />
convenience.<br />
Construction of the car<br />
parks is expected to take about<br />
five months to complete.<br />
The Lincoln Town Centre<br />
project was confirmed through<br />
the Long-Term Plan 2024-<br />
PLAN: A house on Lyttleton St being demolished before Christmas to make way<br />
for the car parks that mark the start of the Lincoln Town Centre project. Below – an<br />
artist’s impression of what Gerald St will look like once the upgrades are complete.<br />
2034, with funding and work<br />
brought forward to begin in<br />
<strong>2025</strong>.<br />
The plan focuses on<br />
upgrading Gerald St, creating<br />
a refreshed town centre, with<br />
more public space while<br />
promoting safety for traffic.<br />
Other work coming up in<br />
the area includes wastewater<br />

Readers react to deputy mayor Lyall’s<br />
HAVING tolerated a distinct<br />
decline in the democratic<br />
process, and intention of our<br />
council for some time now, I’m<br />
shocked to see them making<br />
political submissions on behalf of<br />
the community they are elected<br />
and paid to represent.<br />
This is exactly why the discussion<br />
the bill proposes is essential<br />
for New Zealand to have, moving<br />
forward with clarity to shape a<br />
society rid of any racism.<br />
How dare SDC submit on my<br />
behalf, something I and many<br />
others have done individually.<br />
I congratulate councillors who<br />
spoke up against the submission<br />
but can clearly see they were<br />
disregarded and were not about<br />
to sway the views of Sam and<br />
his buddies, who are pushing<br />
hard for less regulations around<br />
accountability and meaningful<br />
consultation.<br />
- Kevin Burney, Darfield<br />
Stuart McKinlay was correct and<br />
his complaint should have been<br />
upheld. Just imagine if he had<br />
criticised “some old Māori men<br />
for living in the past”. All hell<br />
would have resulted, with Lyall<br />
and Broughton being the noisiest.<br />
This would not have happened<br />
if the council refrained from<br />
sticking it’s nose into nationwide<br />
politics. Council should carry out<br />
the core duties that we pay it to<br />
VIEWS: Last week’s article on the Treaty Principles Bill and Malcolm Lyall’s ‘Pakeha’ comment<br />
has drawn strong responses from readers.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
do – rubbish, roads and sewage,<br />
and not misuse ratepayers money<br />
to create a platform from which<br />
they air their personal opinions.<br />
By doing, so they insinuate<br />
those they represent oppose<br />
the Treaty Principles Bill. Does<br />
council need reminding that<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> is a solidly National<br />
electorate with polling indicating<br />
that its members support<br />
Seymour’s bill?<br />
- Graham Bethell, Aylesbury<br />
I thoroughly agree with Geoff<br />
Hill’s comments regarding<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton’s political<br />
position taken on the behalf<br />
of ratepayers. Broughton has<br />
absolutely no mandate to take<br />
such a stand.<br />
The people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> will<br />
remember Sam Broughton’s<br />
arrogant remarks at election<br />
time. I sincerely hope Geoff Hill<br />
has considered running against<br />
Broughton. He will certainly<br />
get my vote.<br />
- Edward DeLilla, Rolleston<br />
The Crown and Māori are the<br />
only signatories of the Treaty<br />
of Waitangi and as a treaty<br />
partner Māori are entitled to<br />
representation on the SDC, as is<br />
required to comply with article 2<br />
of Te Tiriti.<br />
Sam Broughton’s foresight in<br />
recognising this will allow for<br />
good governance by the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District Council. Ratepayers<br />
of <strong>Selwyn</strong> could consider<br />
compliance with the Treaty of<br />
Waitangi as a positive factor in<br />
Canterbury’s future and continue<br />
voting for Sam Broughton.<br />
- John Howes, Lincoln<br />
Free speech is a given. Together<br />
with actions, it enables us to assess<br />
another’s motivations and<br />
their attitudes.<br />
Councillor Lyall has revealed<br />
himself in a most unflattering<br />
manner. That he is contemptuous<br />
of a large proportion of the<br />
ratepayers in <strong>Selwyn</strong> has been<br />
clearly displayed. He compounds<br />
his vacuity by proudly doubling<br />
down on his rant.<br />
Our mayor reveals his unsuitability<br />
as a mayor by arrogantly<br />
allowing Lyall his rant, but also<br />
by allowing our council to speak<br />
supposedly on our behalf, to the<br />
Treaty Principles Bill.<br />
Mr Mayor and your council,<br />
tend your duties and do not allow<br />
personal prejudices divert you<br />
from the reasons you are elected<br />
to tend.<br />

‘Pakeha’ comment: SDC’s submission<br />
It was disappointing and<br />
surprising to read that our mayor,<br />
deputy mayor and council boss<br />
have taken it on themselves to<br />
seek to influence others to their<br />
point of view on this contentious<br />
bill.<br />
They have no right whatsoever<br />
to represent ratepayers on this<br />
issue, but of course do have a<br />
right to make their personal<br />
submission and that is where it<br />
should stop. Councils should stay<br />
out of national politics on this<br />
issue.<br />
Given the poor performance<br />
of our council in almost every<br />
respect these three individuals<br />
would be better to focus on their<br />
primary roles and leave the<br />
individual ratepayers to make<br />
their own minds up and submit<br />
accordingly. Sadly our leaders<br />
seem to think they know better<br />
than everyone else and want to<br />
foist their opinion on others.<br />
The Coalition Government<br />
is doing exactly what it said it<br />
would do with this bill and would<br />
rightly be castigated had it not<br />
gone ahead with this process.<br />
I encourage our council<br />
to stick to their knitting and<br />
improve their performance<br />
for the sake of ratepayers, for<br />
example the return on council<br />
funds invested is below 5% which<br />
is absolutely pathetic. I am an<br />
“old grey-haired Pakeha” but I<br />
achieve double the council level<br />
on a conservative investment<br />
portfolio.<br />
- Nigel Humphries, Lincoln<br />
In reference to the idiotic and<br />
condescending comments from<br />
another old Pakeha man, the<br />
syncophantic Malcolm Lyall<br />
who has never done anything<br />
constructive in his time at the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> council.<br />
The worst result has been the<br />
apparent endorsement of his<br />
insulting words by our mayor<br />
“Sam”. Clearly, the culture and<br />
mindset of this council has now<br />
been exposed.<br />
As to the council’s decision to<br />
make submissions with regard<br />
to the Treaty Principles Bill, on<br />
whose authority does this<br />
council presume to speak on<br />
behalf of its employers on any<br />
external issue?<br />
So us ratepayers are just to sit<br />
back and let a cabal of individuals<br />
make decisions outside of their<br />
core responsibilities to the<br />
ratepayers. Surely attending to<br />
the needs of their constituents<br />
and listening to their concerns is<br />
of higher priority than inserting<br />
their personal opinions into<br />
national and political issues.<br />
Whilst I may, or may not, agree<br />
with the contents of this council’s<br />
current submission, I strongly<br />
object to this council taking upon<br />
itself the right to speak on behalf<br />
of <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents without<br />
any attempt to consult, or even<br />
communicate its intentions.<br />
I would urge those who think<br />
they could make contributions<br />
to <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s future and curb<br />
the irresponsible spending and<br />
arrogance of this temporary<br />
group to step forward. They<br />
can be assured of massive<br />
support.<br />
- Les Wade, Rolleston<br />
I am writing in support of<br />
Mr McKinley and Geoff Hill.<br />
Councils should be apolitical.<br />
To that end, <strong>Selwyn</strong> council had<br />
no right to put in a submission.<br />
I object to council straying from<br />
their core role. Their argument<br />
on how it effects their operation<br />
does not wash. Mr Broughton<br />
and Mr Lyall will not be getting<br />
my vote at the next elections.<br />
- C Hay, Prebbleton<br />
Stuart McKinley’s complaint<br />
about the comments made by<br />
the deputy mayor about those<br />
who are in favour of the Treaty<br />
Principles Bill should have been<br />
dismissed.<br />
Mr McKinley is quite incorrect<br />
when he says that many other<br />
residents would be offended.<br />
I am a 61-year-old Pakeha<br />
woman and I agree 100% with<br />
Mr Lyall’s comments. I have also<br />
made a submission opposing the<br />
bill.<br />
Hobson’s Pledge is a racist,<br />
backward looking group who are<br />
attempting to stoke division.<br />
I applaud Malcolm Lyall in<br />
standing up for what he believes.<br />
The council is quite correct to<br />
make a submission opposing the<br />
bill, and I congratulate them for<br />
doing so.<br />
- Jillian Matchett, Darfield<br />
It was a welcome change to<br />
read the positive comments from<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton:<br />
“We are committed to fostering<br />
meaningful partnerships,<br />
grounded in dialogue, mutual<br />
respect and shared aspirations.”<br />
This bill undermines these<br />
efforts by introducing changes<br />
that are unnecessary and<br />
unhelpful.<br />
Partnership is central to Te<br />
Tiriti. The absence of meaningful<br />
engagement with Māori during<br />
the development of the bill is<br />
concerning and undermines the<br />
Crown’s obligations under Te<br />
Tiriti.<br />
The unilateral approach<br />
taken by this bill fails to respect<br />
the principles of partnership,<br />
participation and protection.<br />
Broughton said the bill<br />
creates unnecessary uncertainty<br />
for established legislative<br />
frameworks like the Resource<br />
Management Act and Local<br />
Government Act.<br />
Council remains committed to<br />
fostering meaningful bicultural<br />
relationships and supporting<br />
positive outcomes for all our<br />
communities.<br />
These comments build<br />
strength, a renewed sense of wellbeing,<br />
and hope for our shared<br />
future.<br />
In this uncertain world with<br />
the climate, survival for people<br />
and animals, rising costs, loss of<br />
jobs, it means so much to have a<br />
council which supports people<br />
working together for everyone’s<br />
benefit.<br />
Bravo Mayor Sam Broughton,<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council. Honour<br />
Te Tiriti.<br />

Great choices for a great future<br />
Choosing the right early learning<br />
environment for your child will be one of<br />
the most important decisions you make.<br />
Find the place that best suits and enhances<br />
your child’s personality, strengths,<br />
wellbeing and social skills, and they will be<br />
well set up for education… and for life.<br />
Fortunately for <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents, as our<br />
district continues to grow, so does the wide<br />
range of Early Childhood Education (ECE)<br />
options available here. You now have an<br />
amazing range of approaches and styles to<br />
choose from, to suit your outlook and the<br />
personality of your child.<br />
What will you find when you start<br />
visiting these centres? Well, a special<br />
feature of many <strong>Selwyn</strong> ECE centres is<br />
their focus on outdoor education and play.<br />
Many offer stunning natural environments<br />
and opportunities that just wouldn’t be<br />
possible in more urban settings.<br />
There’s also, often, a strong focus on<br />
cultural connection. It’s a great opportunity<br />
for your kid, and the whole family, to be<br />
introduced to the language, festivities,<br />
music, practices – and food! – of all the<br />
different cultures making up our society.<br />
ECE nationwide follows a curriculum<br />
called Te Whāriki, meaning “the woven<br />
mat”. The concept is that partnerships<br />
are woven together between teachers,<br />
parents and families, bringing all parts<br />
of a child’s world into their care and<br />
learning. So it’s essential that you go and<br />
visit centres before making your selection,<br />
because the relationships and connection<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Early Learning<br />
ANd Childcare<br />
that you feel with the place need to be<br />
real. All the centres welcome visitors by<br />
arrangement, so see the contact details in<br />
our comprehensive listings.<br />
With all the expertise and dedication of<br />
our <strong>Selwyn</strong> early learning teachers, kaiako<br />
and educators, and the exciting range of<br />
cutting-edge practice that happens here,<br />
you can trust that your kiddie will be in<br />
the best hands.<br />
As you may know, early learning is<br />
not compulsory in New Zealand, but<br />
evidence strongly shows great benefits.<br />
Across NZ, tamariki typically attend early<br />
learning services for around 20 to <strong>22</strong><br />

Melodies is a boutique, privately-owned preschool in the heart of Lincoln offering<br />
a low child-to-teacher ratio with a maximum of 8:1, well below the Ministry<br />
regulation of 10:1. We have chosen to limit our licence to just 34 children, to<br />
allow for an intimate and child-centred approach that readily adapts to the<br />
learning and needs of each child.<br />
Situated in a beautifully renovated house, Melodies offers an exciting,<br />
welcoming, light-filled – and clean – setting, surrounded by a large outdoor<br />
play space. In our “Home away from Home” environment, we create a culture<br />
of warmth, care and respect.<br />
We are “Melodies” by nature as well as name. Every day your child will enjoy<br />
music and dance sessions in addition to a full range of curriculum activities.<br />
Music is a huge part of a child’s development, it is also a wonderful vehicle for<br />
other learning to take place, such as building confidence, developing language,<br />
friendships and team work as well as physical movement skills and creativity.<br />
Melodies Preschool has an incredible team of qualified teachers, passionate about<br />
providing the best possible early learning experiences and care. Our teachers provide<br />
opportunities for children to explore a rich curriculum that lays the foundation for a<br />
life of learning that inspires critical thought, inquiring minds and creativity.<br />
Responsive, reciprocal, and respectful relationships between teachers, children and<br />
whānau are at the heart of all our practices.<br />
We would love you and your family to call or pop in to view our facilities and meet<br />
our wonderful staff. Contact Nicky at 03 325 <strong>22</strong>27 or info@melodiespreschool.co.nz.<br />
“We looked at several different preschools before we made the decision to send our son<br />
to Melodies. What influenced our decision was Melodies’ low child-to-teacher ratio and<br />
the supportive, highly professional, and passionate team. We are very happy with our<br />
decision. Our little boy is thriving in the Melodies environment, and we cannot speak highly<br />
enough of Nicky and her team for the high level of quality care and support they provide<br />
for our wee one. We have no hesitation in recommending Melodies to other parents.”<br />

Your child is unique and valued at Puanga Kākaho<br />
At Puanga Kākaho, relationships are the heart of what we do: between tamariki, whānau,<br />
kaiako (teachers) and nature. We believe that our preschool is a home away from home filled<br />
with love and respect. With highly trained and experienced kaiako we provide our learners<br />
with positive, equitable opportunities for learning, guided by the principles of Te Whāriki,<br />
Emmi Pikler and Reggio Emilia.<br />
Each child needs a healthy self-identity and deserves to feel valued in society. Our proven<br />
strong whānau connections allow us to holistically support each child, enhancing their mana<br />
and affirming themselves as a valued, capable, competent learner, participating in routines,<br />
events and celebrations.<br />
Our focus on the outdoors promotes physical, social and emotional growth, encouraging<br />
children to take risks and learn freely in our expansive, natural outdoor environment, embracing<br />
nature and learning to care for the natural world.<br />
Remaining steadfast in our commitment to provide a high-quality learning environment and<br />
embracing the belief that the environment is the third teacher, we have recently carried out major<br />
renovations. Our entire centre has been upgraded, with the addition of beautiful new rooms and<br />
expansive re-designed outdoor play spaces, created to help children flourish and develop.<br />
We’ve created dedicated spaces tailored to each age group: infants, toddlers, younger<br />
preschoolers, and older preschoolers. These spaces are designed to be developmentally<br />
appropriate, ensuring that each child can play and learn in an environment that supports their<br />
growth and helps them achieve the best possible outcomes during their time with us.<br />
Contact us to find out more about our new modern, purpose-built learning spaces.<br />
Come and see for yourself, we would love to meet you!<br />

A great start for your<br />
child’s learning journey!<br />
Every parent wants the best for their<br />
child, especially when their beloved child<br />
is so little. The early years are full of big<br />
moments, each one shaping who they will<br />
become. That’s why choosing the right<br />
early childhood education is so important.<br />
At our Little Wonders Rolleston, we’ve<br />
created a world where your child can<br />
explore, grow and learn in ways that are<br />
just right for them. With four fun and<br />
engaging learning environments, we meet<br />
your child where they’re at – whether<br />
they’re discovering new interests, making<br />
friends or simply exploring the world<br />
around them.<br />
We offer 20 hours of Early Childhood<br />
Education each week, giving your child<br />
plenty of time to play, learn and explore.<br />
We also provide healthy and nutritious<br />
meals to fuel their little minds and bodies,<br />
as they learn and grow.<br />

Burnham Country Montessori – the best of the country so close to town<br />
Burnham Country Montessori has to be seen to be believed.<br />
Within a short ten minute drive from Rolleston, one of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
largest outdoor playground and natural environments awaits,<br />
along with bright and well-resourced classrooms, caring<br />
teachers, and kids having hands-on fun in all manner of settings.<br />
We can’t wait to show you!<br />
Please visit!<br />
Burnham Country Montessori continues to go from strength to strength.<br />
With “new” ownership in place for over a year now, the ever-deepening<br />
commitment and energy of the owners and staff is infectious. Please<br />
contact us anytime and arrange a visit – you really have to experience this<br />
place for yourselves. You will love it, your children will love it!<br />
Our country setting<br />
We provide a unique country and farm<br />
environment for children to explore<br />
and discover as they start to develop<br />
a sense of wonder and make sense<br />
of the world around them. Our large<br />
slice of rural land is just 5km outside<br />
Rolleston and a short distance from<br />
Lincoln and the Burnham Military<br />
Camp. The large, open and wellresourced<br />
playgrounds have native<br />
plantings, vegetable gardens, and<br />
large decked areas for the children<br />
and their families/whānau to enjoy. It is<br />
one of the largest natural, aesthetically<br />
pleasing outdoor playgrounds in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
When you visit, you’ll see kids<br />
interacting with and learning to<br />
respect nature… gardening among<br />
our vegetable gardens and fruit trees,<br />
practising practical coordination skills<br />
like hammering a nail, and even doing<br />
the weeding! All the outdoor activities<br />
are fun, and well managed for safety.<br />
Well-resourced classrooms<br />
Our classrooms are equally<br />
inspirational. Step inside and you’ll see<br />
bright, fun and well-resourced facilities.<br />
The children are encouraged to use all<br />
their senses and natural inquisitiveness<br />
to help with their pre-reading and<br />
writing skills. As they become ready,<br />
we guide them through all aspects<br />
of the Montessori programme,<br />
including practical life skills, sensorial<br />
development, language and reading,<br />
mathematical understanding, music,<br />
movement and cultural activities.<br />
Qualified, caring Montessori staff<br />
Many of our core teaching staff have<br />
been an extended part of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
families for nearly 15 years now.<br />
They facilitate the children’s play<br />
experiences to support each child in<br />
their individual learning journey. Our<br />
aim is to foster each child’s potential,<br />
while assisting children to better<br />
understand, express and regulate their<br />
emotions and social interactions.<br />
Connection with whānau<br />
It’s crucial for us to link family with everything that is happening with<br />
children. From the first settling-in visit, your child is part of the Burnham<br />
Country Montessori family, and staff will talk to you about your child’s<br />
routines, needs and interests. Each classroom has a designated head<br />
teacher and staffing team, so you always have a direct line of contact.<br />
Sustainability<br />
We are committed to teaching children how to care for and respect our<br />
environment. Our multiple sustainability measures are detailed on the<br />
website, and cover all aspects of classroom, facilities and consumables<br />
management and nature.<br />
Come for a visit, we would love to see you.<br />

HOME PROFESSIONALS<br />
In a twitter about birds<br />
The mild winter just passed has left<br />
its mark in one regard – birdlife has<br />
increased, across <strong>Selwyn</strong>. While that<br />
sounds charming, if birds are nesting in<br />
your roof and guttering you’re probably<br />
seeing their mess on your walls, windows<br />
and car, freshly renewed most days.<br />
It’s important to realise there will also<br />
be consequences you can’t see.<br />
If your spouting is blocked by the<br />
results of bird activity, you will see it<br />
overflowing. What you can’t see is the<br />
back of the spouting, where it is attached<br />
to the bargeboard. The spouting is<br />
lower at the back, so damage will also<br />
be happening here. When spouting and<br />
downpipes become blocked, flooding into<br />
the eaves and soffit (overhanging section<br />
of roof), and from there, into the house, is<br />
a common – and costly – consequence.<br />
Installing Gumleaf Gutter Guard<br />
offers immediate protection against<br />
birds nesting in your roof. It has a<br />
lesser known characteristic – birds just<br />
don’t like standing on it! It feels flat and<br />
unnatural to them, unlike branches or<br />
the unprotected shapes of your roof and<br />
guttering. Since they don’t like to perch<br />
there, they won’t nest there – in fact they<br />
will leave your roof entirely alone and<br />
search for a more amenable location.<br />
Couple that with the multiple other<br />
benefits of gutter guards, which keep out<br />
everything from leaf litter to hail to snow<br />
and even rats, and you’ll see that having<br />
these guards installed is a huge benefit.<br />
Quite simply, they extend the life of the<br />
spouting to the life of the roof.<br />
Gumleaf Gutter Guard was developed<br />
in Australia more than 20 years ago, and<br />
has been providing a quality and effective<br />
solution in New Zealand for the last<br />
decade. Company owner Rohan Rudd<br />
offers great customer service and speedy<br />
turnaround. He is available Monday to<br />
Saturday to speak to customers who call,<br />
customers requesting a quote receive it<br />
within 24 hours, and Rohan says he will<br />
“go anywhere to provide a quote”. Rohan<br />
is happy to install the guards, although<br />
the ease of the design is such that the<br />
installation is 100% DIY-friendly.<br />
Thanks to Gumleaf ’s partnership with<br />
Alps Continuous Spouting, you can<br />
now access a coordinated design and<br />
install of any aspect of quality spouting<br />
and guttering, Gumleaf gutterguarding,<br />
fascia, downpipes and any other weather<br />
protection that you may need.<br />
So contact Gumleaf Gutter Guard today,<br />
not only to protect your spouting, eaves<br />
and house, but to keep those pesky birds<br />
away.<br />

Town and Country Gates:<br />
transform your look for <strong>2025</strong><br />
Town and Country Gates specialises<br />
in the design and manufacture of quality<br />
aluminium gates, powdercoated to your<br />
choice of colour and finish. Demands for<br />
services are high, so if you’re considering<br />
transforming the look of your property in<br />
<strong>2025</strong>, this is a great time to reach out.<br />
These gates can range in size from<br />
driveway to garden gate to poolside. An<br />
amazing selection of styles is available,<br />
from ornate to simple to traditional<br />
to classic to modern. They will even<br />
custom design a gate to your personal<br />
specifications and tastes.<br />
Town and Country Gates also offers a<br />
beautiful selection of gates and fences in<br />
steel and timber, including aluminium<br />
gates with wood infill. Styles include<br />
louvred, slat and open rail.<br />
Check out the beautiful photos on the<br />
website to marvel at just how many<br />
types of style are available. While<br />
you’re there, have a play with the<br />
“Gate Visualiser” tool, where you<br />
can pick a style then select from the<br />
attractive range of colours.<br />
Installation is also an essential part<br />
of the service, and can be designed<br />
to meet your needs. Perhaps you<br />
have a priority on privacy, or on<br />
security. Or perhaps the area to be<br />
gated is at a tricky size or angle.<br />
Installation options include sliding,<br />
cantilever, bi-fold, automated,<br />
keypads or lock latches, and security<br />
audio and video intercoms.<br />
Not only providing new, Town<br />
and Country Gates is a one-stop<br />
shop for all things gate, whether<br />
they installed it or not. Repairs<br />
and welding needed? No problem.<br />
Already like your gates but want<br />
them automated? Automation<br />
systems can be fitted retrospectively,<br />
just ask the experts.<br />
In its 21st year of operation, Town<br />
and Country Gates is thrilled to now<br />
be fully operational from its purposebuilt<br />
workshop in Rolleston Izone.<br />
It’s testament to this family business’s<br />
ongoing success that this expansion<br />
became a necessity, and they are now<br />
better equipped than ever to supply<br />
stunning gates and fences to properties<br />
across Canterbury.<br />

The Outdoor Space: helping your<br />
<strong>January</strong> transition<br />
The garden is telling us it’s summer, but<br />
the festive season has passed and we’re no<br />
longer so carefree – responsibilities are<br />
starting to creep back into people’s lives.<br />
Whether it’s an imminent return to work,<br />
university or school, or whether the school<br />
holidays have really been dragging on a<br />
bit too long by now, one way or another,<br />
people are starting to wake back up to the<br />
real-life things they have to do.<br />
One of these things is still gardening.<br />
This is where The Outdoor Space can help.<br />
Did you know that The Outdoor Space<br />
can maintain your new or existing garden,<br />
whether as a one-off before a special<br />
event, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly<br />
as required. These services<br />
include weeding, spraying,<br />
pruning, mowing and<br />
fertilising, and are much<br />
appreciated in this timeprecious<br />
age.<br />
Lawns are a particular<br />
specialism, and often<br />
need additional help at<br />
this stage of summer. The<br />
lawn maintenance support<br />
offered includes any aspects<br />
of mowing, aeration,<br />
dethatching, leaf clearance,<br />
feeding, and control of<br />
weeds, fungus and pests,<br />
that you require. Hand the<br />
hot and hard work<br />
over to others!<br />
If watering has become a chore, The<br />
Outdoor Space can install unobtrusive<br />
irrigation systems to keep your garden<br />
flourishing. It supplies and installs manual,<br />
fully automatic and even wifi systems<br />
that clients can operate with ease. This<br />
specialism means that planting is possible<br />
even at the height of summer, supported<br />
with the installation of a targeted dripline<br />
irrigation system. And yes, the team<br />
gives quality advice and guidance on the<br />
plantings too.<br />
Aaron and his team have been creating<br />
magic in <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s gardens since 2009.<br />
The Outdoor Space is family owned and<br />
operated, based in Rolleston and<br />
working across the district.<br />

out wind, outdoor fires, and more…<br />
The Outdoor Space can design and install<br />
all these aspects for you.<br />

your requirement, so call into our shop at Pumps & Filters, 551 Halswell<br />

Enhance your property – and your life!<br />
There are few treats as luxurious as<br />
enjoying a pool in your own backyard. Be<br />
it for relaxation, health, or the pleasure of<br />
bringing family and friends together in<br />
a fun and safe environment, there are so<br />
many ways to enjoy your very own pool.<br />
Not to mention the extra value it adds to<br />
your property.<br />
If you’re interested in enhancing your<br />
life in this way, reach out to Lagoon<br />
Pools, a locally owned and operated<br />
swimming pool supplier and installer. The<br />
husband-wife team of Julie and Warren<br />
Hastings has been working together for<br />
over 30 years, making outdoor living<br />
dreams come true for homeowners across<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Julie and Warren provide a professional<br />
and customer-focused service and say<br />
there really is a pool for any site. They<br />
install pools in sizes to suit both small and<br />
large sections, ranging from 2.9m metres<br />
to 12 metres in length with a variety of<br />
widths, colours and shapes.<br />
Choose the type of pool that best suits<br />
you and your loved ones. Are benches<br />
within the pool a pleasant option for<br />
relaxation, or are you all about the<br />
unobstructed swimming corridor? All<br />
pools come with colour-changing lights,<br />
and additional features can include<br />
fountains, spa jets and swim jets.<br />
Lagoon Pools is proud to hold the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, Christchurch and Waimakariri<br />
area dealerships for the Leisure Pools<br />
range of 100 per cent composite fibreglass<br />
swimming pools. The technology<br />
is cutting edge, deploying patented<br />
Composite Armour innovation and<br />
patent-pending full vinyl ester<br />
resin construction.<br />
You can rest assured with the quality<br />
of your investment – every swimming<br />
pool comes with the lifetime structural<br />
warranty and the lifetime structural<br />
osmosis warranty.<br />
It takes around five days to install<br />
a pool and the finishing touches can<br />
take from four weeks to a few months,<br />
depending upon the design. Choose<br />
from a variety of cover roller systems. In<br />
an additional service much appreciated<br />
by its customers, not only does Lagoon<br />
Pools install the pool, it can also organise<br />
the complete package including paving,<br />
decking, landscaping and fencing, to<br />
ensure your entire pool area<br />
looks amazing.<br />
The continued popularity of enjoying<br />
a pool in your own backyard has led to<br />
huge demand for the company’s services.<br />
“We suggest booking in your pool project<br />
well in advance to make sure your dream<br />
comes true,” says Julie.<br />

HOME PROFESSIONALS<br />
We help houses get ready for sale<br />
Are you thinking about selling your<br />
house, but the thought of getting it ready<br />
for sale is overwhelming? Is full home<br />
styling too expensive or impractical for<br />
your family?<br />
The homeproud is a new <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
business bringing affordable styling to<br />
homeowners. We work with our clients<br />
to create the best version of their house<br />
for sale – using their own furniture along<br />
with our accessories and signature<br />
style magic.<br />
And…families don’t need to move out<br />
or pay a fortune for fancy furniture hire.<br />
What we do<br />
We know home buyers want to see<br />
uncluttered, warm, and inviting spaces<br />
and that’s our jam. We work closely with<br />
homeowners to re-imagine their home<br />
using what they already have.<br />
First, we remove family clutter to<br />
create clear, calm spaces that appeal to<br />
buyers. Then we reconfigure furniture<br />
to make the most of each space - we<br />
re-arrange (and sometimes remove)<br />
furniture to create a warm and welcoming<br />
atmosphere. And finally, we accessorise<br />
because sometimes it’s the little things<br />
that have the biggest impact! We provide<br />
the cushions, throw blankets, vases, art<br />
work and flowers to bring home the<br />
style magic!<br />
Our styling plans<br />
We style homes for real<br />
estate photography and<br />
up to four open homes.<br />
We style in person for the photography<br />
session and the first few open homes,<br />
then we provide a personalised look book<br />
to show homeowners how to achieve the<br />
same results.<br />
Our styling plans start from $650<br />
for the declutter, reconfigure, and<br />
accessorising of the main rooms of a<br />
standard house. This price includes our<br />
styling, a personalised look book, our<br />
accessories, and fresh flowers.<br />
Who we are<br />
We’re a local mum and daughter team<br />
who LOVE moving furniture, making<br />
gorgeous beds, and sprinkling accessories<br />
- it’s our love language! And we get how<br />
hard it is to see the wood for the trees<br />
when you’re faced with creating calm<br />
spaces from years of family living<br />
and being.<br />
We can’t guarantee a home sale but we<br />
can make sure your home presents the<br />
very best version of itself to buyers.<br />

Enjoy the fruits<br />
(and veges) of<br />
your labour<br />
Keep on top of indoor<br />
plants and your garden<br />
in summer – and tuck<br />
into its bounty as fruit<br />
and veges ripen<br />
Houseplants<br />
<strong>January</strong> is a difficult month<br />
for houseplants, as many people<br />
head away. It is important<br />
to understand the needs of<br />
your houseplants – watering,<br />
preferred light conditions,<br />
and nutritional requirements.<br />
Clean leaves with a moist<br />
sponge and remove any dead<br />
leaves or flowers. Remember<br />
the bathroom, with its high<br />
humidity, can revive ailing<br />
houseplants.<br />
Vegetable garden<br />
Almost all summer vegetables<br />
can be harvested this month,<br />
including beans, carrots,<br />
eggplants, beetroot, cucumbers,<br />
courgettes, peas, potatoes,<br />
radish, and sweetcorn. Keep your<br />
vegetable garden’s productivity<br />
going through till the end<br />
of summer with succession<br />
planting – regularly plant fast<br />
maturing vegetables like dwarf<br />
beans, lettuce, and radish.<br />
Flowering annuals<br />
<strong>January</strong> is an excellent month<br />
for these plants, providing<br />
dazzling displays of flowers.<br />
Regular maintenance includes,<br />
‘dead-heading’, weeding,<br />
watering and in some instances,<br />
replanting. Summer flowering<br />
annuals to plant include alyssum,<br />
cornflower, cosmos, marigolds,<br />
petunias, salvias, poppies,<br />
portulacas, and zinnias.<br />
TUCK IN: Enjoy summer veges straight from your garden, such as sweet corn.<br />
PHOTOS: GETTY<br />
Strawberries and<br />
raspberries<br />
Strawberry plants will continue<br />
to crop throughout <strong>January</strong>.<br />
Maintain your weeding, and if<br />
you haven’t done it yet, apply<br />
fresh mulch around the plants of<br />
pea straw or clean crushed bark.<br />
Raspberry fruiting will taper off<br />
towards the end of the month<br />
coinciding with rapid growth of<br />
canes. Prune excess canes and tie<br />
down new season canes which<br />
will provide next season’s fruits.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Time to start harvesting<br />
stone fruit – apricots, cherries,<br />
peaches, and plums. The first<br />
apples ripen towards the end of<br />
the month. Give your fruit trees<br />
a deep watering two to three<br />
times a week during the growing<br />
season.<br />
Herbs<br />
As herbs thrive in the heat,<br />
<strong>January</strong> and February are prolific<br />
months in the herb garden.<br />
Trim regularly to maintain fresh<br />
growth and to prevent flowering.<br />
Plant additional herbs where<br />
supply is short.<br />

Child friendly decorating ideas<br />
Having children does not mean that you<br />
have to sacrifice enjoying a stylish home. It’s<br />
just a matter of adapting your design ideas<br />
to cater for the ages and stages along the<br />
way.<br />
Some simple adjustments can make a<br />
huge difference whether it is choosing<br />
furniture without sharp edges or opting for<br />
paint types that are easy to clean.<br />
Painting a room is often the cheapest<br />
way to refresh and update your look and<br />
children’s rooms are no exception. Some<br />
companies such as New Zealand-based<br />
Resene has specific ranges for children<br />
featuring bright, bold colours and some<br />
amazing metallic and blackboard options.<br />
Changing up the rooms as your children<br />
grow can be as simple as adding desks, bean<br />
bags, posters or bunting. Or let them choose<br />
their own colour scheme – what can go<br />
wrong?<br />
Purposefully selecting coffee and dining<br />
tables without sharp edges is one way of<br />
reducing injuries – an ottoman makes a<br />
good option for a coffee table - but there are<br />
also other considerations when you have<br />
children such as storage options.<br />
Cupboards with doors are useful for<br />
hiding a whole range of things from toys<br />
and games or containers that can fit under<br />
the bed – or choose a divan that already<br />
has drawers underneath. Using buckets<br />
or boxes with pictures for each type of<br />
toy will assist even the little ones with<br />
tidying up.<br />
Children’s artwork can make great<br />
cost-effective additions to your décor.<br />
Placing them in similar frames works<br />
well or have them hanging from a<br />
bunting using pegs.<br />
Invest in furniture that will cope with<br />
everything that children could possibly<br />
throw at it and maybe stay away from<br />
anything white that could stain easily.<br />
Leather is easy to clean and other child<br />
friendly fabrics include micofibre<br />
which is stain resistant and comes in<br />
different textures. Another option is<br />
wool which is easy to spot clean and it’s<br />
less susceptible to pilling, snagging, and<br />
wrinkling than other fabrics. Slip covers<br />
are also a great idea when you have<br />
children.<br />
So with a little thought your décor<br />
can be stylish and child-friendly at the<br />
same time.<br />
Selling your home?<br />
Potential buyers are likely to be<br />
living in your neighbourhood, it’s<br />
an area that they already love<br />
and are actively seeking to stay<br />
in. That’s why it makes sense to<br />
advertise your property in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Property Guide.<br />

19<br />
You’ve seen in the New Year, finished<br />
all the Christmas treats, taken down the<br />
Christmas tree, and are now back to work.<br />
Make your home a clean and organised<br />
space so you’ll be ready to embrace the<br />
year’s opportunities. Here are some tips<br />
to get your home prepared for the year<br />
ahead:<br />
Declutter and Organise<br />
Start decluttering every room, but tackle<br />
them one at a time. Sort items you no<br />
longer use or need into donate or discard<br />
piles, including clothes, expired pantry<br />
items, unused gadgets, or home décor you<br />
wish to change. Organise your remaining<br />
belongings using storage bins and labels<br />
to keep things tidy.<br />
Deep Clean<br />
A thorough cleaning is a good way to<br />
reset and set the tone for keeping your<br />
home for the rest of the year. Choose a<br />
few tasks to complete at a time. Dust,<br />
vacuum, and clean skirting boards, ceiling<br />
fans, and appliances, and don’t forget<br />
those hard-to-reach areas, such as the<br />
tops of cupboards and bookcases. Clean<br />
your windows inside and out. It’s also a<br />
good time to clean drapes, curtains, rugs,<br />
and carpets.<br />
Rearrange furniture<br />
Give your room a mini makeover by<br />
rearranging the furniture. Consider the<br />
room’s function, how it will be used, and<br />
how people will move through it. Your<br />
largest piece of furniture is often the focal<br />
point, so place this furniture first, but<br />
ensure its size is appropriate for the space.<br />
You can help open up space and make<br />
it easier to move around by removing<br />
unnecessary furniture.<br />
Refresh Décor<br />
After putting away your Christmas<br />
decorations, it may be time to freshen up<br />
a space. Painting can change the look and<br />
feel of a room, and it doesn’t need to be<br />
the entire room. Consider painting trims,<br />
a ceiling, or a focal wall. An inexpensive<br />
refresh could be restyling a coffee table<br />
with a collection of books, a candle, a<br />
sculpture, a lamp, or flowers. Adding<br />
plants or updating pillows, throws,<br />
window treatments, and rugs can provide<br />
a fresh look without breaking the bank.<br />
Inspect and Maintain<br />
Check smoke alarms, carbon monoxide<br />
detectors, and home appliances to ensure<br />
they work well. Get into those jobs you’ve<br />
