To keep a kunekune pig could cost $1000 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

“CRAZY COUNCIL rules.” 

That’s the verdict from 

a Kirwee resident who has 

discovered she needs to pay 

$1000 to the district council 

for a resource consent to have a 

kunekune pig on her property. 

Melissa Evans has been left 

questioning why the cost to have 

a pig on her 3000 sq m property 

is so high. 

She said while she can understand 

how it could be an issue 

if she was considering buying a 

noisy animal such as a rooster or 

looking at breeding, but she was 

purely buying her a pig as a pet. 

“If you have a strict rule in 

your guidelines about what you 

are not allowed to have, then 

how come if I pay $1000 you 

are suddenly allowed to have it. 

It just seems a bit unfair,” Miss 

Evans said. 

She said she has found the rules 

a “little frustrating” as she will be 

unable to afford to the pig. 

On top of forking out $1000, 

she has to gain written permission 

from her direct neighbours. 

The rules are a result of the 

council’s District Plan, which 

excludes donkeys, pigs, roosters 

or peacocks as a domestic 

animal. 

This is due to their potential 

to generate adverse effects on 

nearby property owners or in an 

urban setting, a district council 

spokesman said.

Joint 

review to 

address 

speed 

limits 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A REVIEW of Selwyn’s speed 

limit bylaw and speed limits 

outside schools will be combined 

to prevent confusing the public. 

Concerns have been raised the 

district council looks as though it 

is over consulting on speed limitrelated 

issues. 

A report seeking approval to 

review to the draft Speed Limits 

Bylaw 2018 was presented at the 

district council’s public meeting 

on Wednesday. 

It comes as the district council 

is planning to review all schools 

in the first half of this year – with 

it expected to be completed by the 

end of June. 

The district council had to 

partially re-open its speed limit 

review to look at school roads, after 

submissions were lost last year 

when the council’s email system 

failed. 

It is also consulting on speed 

limits as its District Plan gets 

under way and as part of the Long 

Term Plan 2018-2028. 

At the meeting, district councillor 

Craig Watson said while he 

had no concerns over the draft 

speed bylaw he raised concerns 

over the timing of the reviews.

from the reporter’s desk 

Combining two different speed bylaws to prevent confusing the 

public does seem logical (see page 1). 

This is what the district council has decided to do after 

receiving a report seeking approval to review to the draft Speed 

Limits Bylaw 2018 at its meeting on Wednesday. 

As you’ll read on page 3, the district council is putting the 

Draft Gambling Venue Policy out for public consultation this 

month. 

District councillor Craig Watson was concerned the proposed 

gaming machine cap of 120 was arbitrary. 

However, he agrees with the 74 per cent of people surveyed 

who thought the cap shouldn’t be based off population growth. 

It will be interesting to see the results of public consultation.

Gaming machine increase likely 

• By Emily O’Connell 

A PROPOSED draft policy 

could see an increase in gaming 

machines across the district. 

At its meeting last week, the 

district council received the 

Draft Gambling Venue Policy 

and decided to put it out for 

public consultation later in the 

month. 

The draft 

policy included 

an increase 

in the current 

machine cap 

of 107 to 120. 

“The existing 

policy 

Craig Watson 

with a cap of 

107 machines 

was put in 

place when the population of 

the district was approximately 

49,500 in March 2015,” it read. 

However, the report said the 

cap has been breached with the 

approved number of machines 

currently sitting at 114. 

A survey of residents, undertaken 

in November, indicated 58 

per cent of the 236 people surveyed 

say that gambling harms 

the community or is a serious 

problem. 

In 2014, it was 41 per cent. 

The survey also showed 74 per 

cent of respondents disagreed 

or strongly disagreed that the 

number of gambling machines 

in the district should increase 

proportionally with population 

growth. 

District councillor Craig 

Watson thought the cap of 120 

poker machines was “arbitrary” 

but agreed basing the cap off 

population growth made it “too 

high.” 

He’s urging residents to make 

submissions so the district 

council can understand what the 

community think is the “right 

balance” between potential 

harm and good. 

“I think it’ll be an interesting 

one, and I hope there will be 

lots of submissions because it’s 

a really important piece of our 

social framework, how we deal 

with pokies,” Cr Watson said. 

The proposed draft policy 

includes a limit of five machines 

for new venues and a maximum 

of five machines for venues 

which are operating less than 

five machines. 

The report says information 

from Department of Internal 

Affairs and the Problem 

Gambling Foundation 

shows that in general Selwyn 

communities lose about $3.5 

million each year on poker 

machine gambling. 

Written submissions on the 

draft policy can be made from 

May 28 to June 29. 

A hearing panel, consisting 

of district councillors Bob 

Mugford and Debra Hasson and 

Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall, 

will review the submissions and 

make a recommendation to the 

district council.

In Brief 

TWO PEOPLE FOUND 

A hunter in his 40s was found 

on Saturday afternoon after 

rolling his ankle and activating 

a personal locator beacon. The 

man, who was overdue from 

a morning hunting trip near 

Benmore Hut, was picked up by 

the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. 

A woman, 40, was also found 

after setting off for a training run 

from Porters Pass. The woman’s 

husband informed police on 

Saturday evening that she hadn’t 

returned. Oxford Land Search 

and Rescue volunteers were put 

into the area and were able to 

find a light source. The woman 

was picked up by the Westpac 

Rescue Helicopter at 1.30am on 

Sunday as volunteers could not 

reach her. 

FARM BUILDING FIRE 

Firefighters were called to 

contain a fire in Motukarara 

at 5.30pm on Wednesday. 

Lincoln chief fire officer 

Jeremy Greenwood said it’s 

still unknown how an old farm 

building caught fire but it’s “not 

deemed to be suspicous.” He said 

units from Lincoln, Rolleston 

and Governors Bay attended 

the “well involved fire.” It took 

firefighters two and a half hours 

to contain the blaze. No-one was 

injured.

Joint review 

to address 

speed limits 

•From page 1 

At the meeting, district councillor 

Craig Watson said while he 

had no concerns over the draft 

speed bylaw he raised concerns 

over the timing of the reviews. 

“We have just come off a speed 

review which didn’t go awesome 

. . . I just think this is confusing 

for the public,” he said. 

His views were supported by 

district councillors Nicole Reid 

and Murray Lemon who said 

it was at “risk of muddying the 

waters.” 

As a result it was decided both 

reviews would go out to public 

consultation together in August. 

But confusion broke out around 

the council table when the district 

council’s assets manager Murray 

Washington raised the issue of the 

current Speed Limit Bylaw 2006 

lapsing. 

The bylaw lapsed in 2016 but 

had two years until it officially 

expires. 

It was questioned if the bylaw 

lapsed would there be no law in 

place and people could do whatever 

they want on the roads. 

But it was confirmed by chief 

executive David Ward if the bylaw 

lapses it holds and changes cannot 

be made to the speed limits when 

it expired until it is renewed.

RESIDENTS OF a Prebbleton 

subdivision have been left 

frustrated after finding 

themselves in a fibre broadband 

dead spot. 

A section of Lindsay Drive 

was not included in broadband 

company Enable’s original fibre 

coverage plan that rolled out last 

year. 

Fibre cable was included in a 

recent extension of the road for 

a new subdivision which has 

left a small zone of 20 houses in 

the middle of the street unconnected. 

Greg Cook, a resident of Lindsay 

Drive whose house is inside 

the dead spot said the situation 

was frustrating. 

“It’s really annoying because 

virtually all of Prebbleton has 

fibre except for our little zone. 

No one seems to be taking responsibility 

for the problem.” 

Enable initially told Mr Cook 

that his household would be 

part of another upcoming fibre 

roll out, however, the company 

recently confirmed that it is 

not contracted to install fibre 

in his area and advised him to 

speak to the secondary network 

provider Chorus. 

When Mr Cook spoke to Chorus 

they said they were unable 

to help.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Mr Cook works from home 

and relies on high speed 

internet for conference calls to 

Auckland and Bangkok. He said 

no connection to high speed 

internet has made life extremely 

difficult. 

Enable is owned by Christchurch 

City Holdings, the commercial 

arm of the city council. 

It began a roll-out across 

Christchurch in 2011, however, 

it didn’t reach Prebbleton until 

early 2017. 

Internet New Zealand 

outreach and engagement director 

Andrew Cushen said the 

situation was difficult as fibre 

networks were supposed to give 

everyone in the candidate area 

access to connectivity but new 

developments were not necessarily 

part of the deal. 

“The onus is on the fibre network 

to be clear with residents 

on whether their homes are in 

the connected area. The original 

roll-out map is clear but you 

have to assume that new developments 

will be built and they 

will need access as well.” 

Ninety-five per cent of the Enable 

cable is now installed across 

Christchurch giving 180,000 

homes and businesses access. 

70,000 homes are connected so 

far. 

When asked why the section 

on Lindsay Drive wasn’t 

originally included in the plan, 

Enable head of communications 

Daniel Herd admitted that they 

could have been clearer about 

how residents could get connected. 

“We admit that good information 

hasn’t been given throughout 

their inquiry with us. We’re 

now going through the process 

of seeing whether it’s commercially 

viable to provide network 

access in that area and that is 

what we should have done from 

the start.” 

Here are some handy tips on how to dispose of ash safely:

River working group formed 

• By Emily O’Connell 

A WORKING group has been 

set up to address ongoing 

issues with the Selwyn River/ 

Waikirikiri. 

Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee 

member Paul Hodgson, 

who joined the committee earlier 

this year in attempt to make 

a difference to the district’s 

water quality issues, is behind 

the plan. 

He made a presentation to the 

committee in April on why a 

group needed to be formed and 

the need to develop a plan to 

restore the river. 

The working group, which 

was established at a recent committee 

meeting, includes Mr 

Hodgson, committee members 

Les Wanhalla, Ron Pellow, Iaean 

Cranwell and district councillor 

Murray Lemon. 

Other members include Canterbury 

University Waterways 

Centre for Freshwater Management’s 

Katie Nimmo, Fish and 

Game’s Scott Pearson, Forest 

and Bird, Selwyn Waihora 

Water Improvement Mission, 

farmers, Runanga, Department 

of Conservation and community 

members. 

The terms of reference, which 

outlines the two stages of the 

proposed work programme, has 

been presented to the committee. 

Stage one will have a technical 

focus, describing the state of the 

river including historical records, 

determining available data, what 

a healthy Selwyn River would 

look like and how this compares 

with its current state. 

Stage two will see the working

The first stage is expected to be 

completed next year and stage 

two will be started in 2020. 

Zone committee chairman 

Allen Lim said other people are 

likely to join the working group 

and then the Terms of Reference 

will be finalised. 

“Basically it got approved 

within the first couple of 

minutes so it was a well written 

Terms of Reference and no further 

changes needed to be made 

on it,” he said. 

The plan aims to combat community 

concerns not resolved 

at a Environment Canterbury 

water seminar series last year. 

ECan ran a series of seminars 

to reduce tensions between residents 

over how water issues in 

the Selwyn-Waihora catchment 

are managed.

the project and is wanting

Commuter congestion to ease 

Broughton has 

concerns with 

Brougham St 

• By Julia Evans 

ONE OF the city’s busiest 

roads is set to have its 

congestion issues addressed. 

Brougham St “corridor 

improvements” have been 

included in the draft transport 

agency investment proposal 

2018-27 released by the New 

Zealand 

Transport 

Agency. 

About 

44,000 

vehicles, 

including 5000 

freight, use the 

thoroughfare 

Jim Harland 

from the 

Selwyn 

district to 

Lyttelton Port each day. 

“The Brougham St, State 

Highway 76 project is 

identified as a proposed 

activity, which means it will 

continue to be developed, 

subject to its new alignment 

with the Government policy 

statement on land transport 

priorities,” NZTA direction 

regional relationships Jim 

Harland said. 

The proposal includes a 

budget of between $10 

million-$100 million for the 

upgrades to increase flow along 

the street. 

The work would be completed 

before 2021, while a 

detailed business case and 

design would begin when the 

plan was approved by Environment 

Canterbury’s regional 

transport committee before 

August 31. 

The plan said NZTA will 

work with partners, including 

the city council and Selwyn 

District Council, to “investigate 

appropriate solutions” to 

congestion along Brougham 

St to the Rolleston Corridor, 

which connects Selwyn to the 

Lyttelton Port. 

“Doing so will improve customer 

access between the south 

of the city to Lyttelton Port 

and help reduce congestion in 

Christchurch’s south-western 

suburbs,” the plan said. 

It comes as Selwyn Mayor 

Sam Broughton raised concerns 

about congestion on 

the motorway during the city 

council’s Long Term Plan 

hearings. 

Mr Broughton said he anticipates 

congestion will get worse 

the longer the corridor is left 

as it is.

“The southern end of the 

motorway connecting to 

Brougham St is a major cause 

of transport delays to the 

wider travelling public, which 

is expected to get worse as 

time goes on,” Mr Broughton 

said. 

This was inevitable with the 

expected population increases 

in both Selwyn and Christchurch, 

he said. 

City council manager planning 

and delivery transport 

Lynette Ellis said it would work 

with NZTA to “effectively and 

efficiently” keep the transport 

network running, including 

Brougham St.

With Canterbury experiencing 

a hot summer after the wettest 

winter on record, our weather 

has certainly been extreme. 

However, brave Cantabrians, 

with verandas and adjustable 

louvres from Stratco on our 

side, we can take back control 

of our unpredictable elements. 

Steve Cain, Outdoor Product 

Specialist at Stratco, is passionate 

about their verandas and electronic 

louvre systems “they add great 

value to a home, families get 

so much more use from their 

outdoors, and the real estate 

market recognises that value as 

well”. 

Steve says adding an adjustable 

louvre system allows you to 

control exactly how much sunlight 

and breeze in, and protect from 

rain as well. 

Custom made to suit your 

requirements and powder coated 

to any colour, the louvre comes 

standard with an electronic remote 

control as well as a rain sensor 

which gives you huge flexibility on 

how to use the system. 

The verandas are Stratco’s own 

unique leading edge design and 

componentry. Steve is pleased to 

be able to offer a bespoke veranda 

at the same price as a standard 

product, because Stratco has 

the design tools that enable the 

veranda to be custom-designed to 

your size, layout, and attachment 

requirements. 

The process is simple: Steve 

will talk through the possibilities 

with you and then measure and 

quote, which is free with no 

obligation. Stratco then designs, 

manufactures, and installs the 

verandas and louvres themselves. 

It’s a one-stop-shop, with all the 

project management and heavy 

lifting taken care of, leaving you 

hands free to thumb your nose at 

our climate chaos.

Your Local Views 

SELWYN TIMES 

Adams stands up for quarry neighbours 

Selwyn MP Amy Adams 

writes about the need 

for better rules around 

quarrying in the district 

HERE IN the Selwyn electorate 

we have major ongoing concerns 

around the location and 

operation of quarries. 

While I understand and agree 

that we need a secure supply 

of aggregate for local roading 

projects and the Christchurch 

rebuild, we are fortunate to 

have significant amounts of the 

resource around us and it is my 

view that land near residential 

areas and sensitive businesses 

is not the right location for 

quarries. 

I have been advocating on 

behalf of Yaldhurst residents 

who appear to have been badly 

affected by silica dust from 

quarrying activities in their 

neighbourhood, so I can fully 

appreciate why Templeton 

residents are very concerned 

about the proposal for a quarry 

to be located on Dawsons Rd. 

While the consent conditions 

for this sort of activity normally 

contain requirements around 

dust mitigation, it seems to me 

that in practice very little, if any, 

effective monitoring has in the 

past occurred to ensure consent 

conditions are being met and it 

has taken significant work to get 

appropriate monitoring of dust 

levels under way. 

It is important to understand 

that in all cases, the decision 

whether to grant consent for any 

quarry is one made by the local 

authority (the council) and not 

by the Government. Given that, 

as the local MP, I don’t control or 

have a say in these decisions. 

However, I firmly believe that 

such consents should always be 

notified so that residents can 

have their say, and I am pleased 

that Fulton Hogan has indicated 

this will be the case for the 

proposed Dawsons Rd quarry. 

I am also concerned that there 

are not proper minimum setback 

requirements for quarries in 

council plans (which set land use 

rules for the district). 

Amy Adams 

Selwyn MP 

ADVOCATE: Amy Adams 

has been speaking up on 

behalf of Yaldhurst residents 

who appear to have been 

badly affected by silica 

dust from quarrying in their 

neighbourhood. 

I understand that health and 

environmental organisations 

have determined that a setback 

of up to 500m should be 

maintained from any quarryingrelated 

activity to any residential 

property to minimise related 

impacts on residents. I agree 

with this and would like to see 

quarrying of greywacke where 

silica dust is present made a 

prohibited activity within 500m 

of residential properties. 

I have met with the mayors 

of both the Selwyn district and 

Christchurch city, and also with 

Environment Canterbury, and 

have raised my concerns with 

them about the appropriateness 

of allowing quarries near 

people’s homes. 

In addition to the impact 

on residents from the dust 

and heavy truck movements 

associated with the quarrying, 

this kind of activity could render 

land that could be appropriate 

for future housing developments 

or commercial purposes 

unusable for these purposes in 

the future. And so I encourage 

councils to consider the optimal 

long-term land use for any site 

when considering any quarrying 

application. 

While decisions will always 

remain in the control of local 

councils, rather than me as 

your MP, I can assure you I will 

continue to make my position 

clear on behalf of affected local 

residents and support them in 

having their concerns on this 

matter heard.

ROLLESTON 

If you think Bridgestone Rolleston does 

just tyres, you might be in for a surprise. 

While, of course, it is well-placed to solve 

any tyre-related problem, it is so much 

more. 

One hundred percent New Zealand 

owned and operated, and part of a 

large network of South Island tyre and 

mechanical repair specialists, Bridgestone 

Rolleston provides all manner of services 

for private car owners, fleet vehicles, farm 

and heavy equipment. 

Manager Tim Smith and his wife 

Coralyn head a team of nine full time 

tyre fitters, fleet servicemen, wheel 

alignment specialists and mechanics. 

Tim’s background is in the tyre industry 

as, among other things, a fleet serviceman 

and wheel alignment technician, and has 

been managing Bridgestone Rolleston for 

the last three years. 

Located on Jones Road, directly across 

the train tracks from the BP, Bridgestone 

Rolleston is part of one of New Zealand’s 

most trusted tyre brands. In addition 

to providing new tyres and servicing 

anything with a tyre on it, it provides many 

other services including WOF, oil changes 

and servicing. If you book a full service, 

the WOF is free. Some conditions apply, so 

talk to the team about that offer. 

As the colder months approach, 

Bridgestone Rolleston recommend 

several checks on your car, including 

tyre treads, batteries – they supply new 

batteries – and tyre pressure checks, 

which are free. While you are getting that 

done, you may want to discuss the benefits 

of nitrogen tyre inflation, which can give 

you better fuel economy, improved road 

grip, and longer lasting tyres. 

Other services include full grooming, a 

24/7 call out service to change and fix flat 

tyres, car and truck wheel alignments, and 

they retread truck tyres. Retreads are cost 

effective and environmentally friendly. 

All tyres disposed of, however, are done 

so in an ethical manner. 

Farmlands members, Bridgestone 

Rolleston provide services to rural 

customers Selwyn-wide, including a no 

charge call out during business hours for 

farmers, and a 24/7 tyre service where 

some charges may apply. 

It honours AA Smartfuel cards and there 

are finance options available on all services 

and products, and the latest equipment 

and technology is used including full 

mechanical diagnostic scanning. 

At 847 Jones Road, bring in your car, 

have a complementary coffee and sit in 

the massage chair while you wait.

$500 on the line at 

pumpkin weigh-in 

Weedons gets sports facility 

upgrade 

The old existing Weedons Cricket and Tennis Clubrooms are set 

to be demolished this week to make way for the new Weedons 

Community Pavilion, an inclusive facility for the tennis and cricket 

clubs, as well as the wider community. 

Demolition should be completed within a week. Building of the new 

pavilion will then start onsite, with completion targeted for October 

this year. 

The area will be fenced off during demolition and construction, 

however access to the tennis courts and golf course should not be 

affected during this time. 

Artist’s impression of the new Weedons Community Pavilion 

Last month Mayor Sam Broughton hosted the People’s Pumpkin Party at Foster Park. 

Local schools, mayors and councillors have been growing pumpkins over the summer and these 

were all brought along for the big weigh-in. 

There were around 15 pumpkins up for judging, among them some huge entries from 

Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel and local schools. Rolleston School’s mega pumpkin took out 

the top prize of $500, weighing in at a whopping 31.8kg. The next heaviest was Lincoln School’s 

pumpkin weighing in at 28.1kg. 

Rolleston School students and teachers said the winnings would likely go towards the school’s 

new playground. 

Mayor Sam also ran a competition for students to create an A3 poster about water and nutrient 

management for growing the pumpkin. A small group of students from Sheffield School won and 

the prize of $500 will go towards their school. 

The idea for the competition came from Selwyn-Waihora Zone Committee chair Allen Lim, to help 

generate discussion about how things grow in Canterbury and the water and nutrients required to 

make things grow. 

The pumpkins will now be harvested for their seeds, which will be used for the seedlings offered 

in next year’s competition, which organisers hoped would be bigger and better. 

Drop-off days collect tonnes of recyclables 

Two Community Recycling Drop-off Days in Malvern and Ellesmere have collected over 25 tonnes 

of garden waste for composting, along with over 6.5 tonnes of scrap metal and around 160 tyres 

for recycling. 

The two drop-off days were held near Leeston and Darfield providing residents with an alternative 

drop-off point for their garden waste and some types of recyclables. 

Over the two days, 190 vehicles dropped off their garden waste, scrap metal and other recyclables for 

a small charge. The events were managed by Council’s Contractor, Sicon Ltd. Volunteer assistance 

was provided by members of the Ellesmere Heritage Park, and in Malvern, the Malvern Lions Club and 

Hororata Golf Club helped out. 

Donations have been made to those organisations in recognition of their volunteer assistance on the 

respective drop-off days. 

Garden waste can normally be disposed of either through optional Council kerbside green organics bins in 

townships or at the Pines Resource Recovery Park near Rolleston. Garden waste can also be composted 

in your back yard. Information about home composting is available online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/rubbish 

under the ‘organic collection’ link. 

You can also recycle your scrap metal and a range of other recyclables at the Pines Resource Recovery 

Park free of charge. 

Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says it was encouraging to see so many residents turn up 

and dispose of these materials in a way that will benefit the environment, while supporting local groups 

through donations.

construction, which is expected to take approximately three weeks (weather dependent). This work will 

also be completed at night, to minimise disruption to traffic during the day. 

Jones Road/Hoskyns Road 

Last week Isaac Construction were working on the eastern side of Jones Road, preparing to pour the new 

section of kerb and channel, as well as completing the final storm water works. This week the eastern 

side of Jones Road will be closed, as planned, to complete the pavement construction. This closure is 

expected to be in place for one week, before they move to the western side of the intersection.

since it includes two very different 

kinds of art—painting and pottery.

Association 

secretary 

Gary Doyle 

talks about 

roading 

issues in the 

area. 

Wednesday May 16 2018 

Roads can’t cope with traffic increase 

ROADING AND general traffic 

issues have long been a bone 

of contention in the Selwyn 

district. 

In the past, the district council 

would receive funding from 

central Government based on 

certain criteria. 

To obtain this funding, it was 

necessary to achieve a ‘benefit 

cost radio’ – known as BCR for 

short – of four. 

During my term on the 

district council, we rapidly 

achieved sealing all roads in the 

district that reached this level. 

Then, due to the foresight of 

previous councils, we were able 

to fully fund the sealing of even 

more roads down to a BCR of 

two. 

Now, while this was seen by 

many as a massive step forward, 

it came with ongoing issues. 

Sealed roads are easier to drive 

on and will always be better 

than shingle roads, but they 

require maintenance, and this is 

costly. It also meant that the vast 

majority of the roads so treated 

were only done to the bare legal 

width. 

As a result, this has raised 

serious concerns as the traffic 

STRUGGLING: Like many roads in the district, Maddisons Rd 

is not coping with the increase in traffic. 

patterns have changed. We now 

see heavy traffic using roads on 

a regular basis that were not designed 

for them. By that I mean 

the sub-strata had not been 

compacted for it, nor is there the 

width for heavy vehicles to pass 

safely. 

One road in question is 

Maddisons Rd. Moves to have 

a white line painted down the 

centre were continually stalled 

by council staff, with the argument 

that the road was not wide 

enough for there to be a legal 

white centre line. 

There is currently such a line, 

but when it is realised that heavy 

vehicle movements have greatly 

increased, along with the increase 

in cyclists, such cases are 

accidents waiting to happen. 

SELWYN TIMES 




Readers react to the 

potential for Selwyn 

ratepayers to contribute 

to Christchurch’s planned 

sports and events arena 

Philip 

Battersby 

– No, Selwyn 

ratepayers 

should not 

fund the 

Christchurch 

stadium. 

Christchurch city council should 

fund its own ventures. What do 

they do for Selwyn district? 

Gary Knight – As the 

controversial topic of ratepayer 

funding for sporting complexes 

evolves as a platform of debate and 

forum of opinion, rationale must 

prevail. Projected at $496 million, 

the cost of the sport and events 

arena, even if subsidised between 

the Crown and city council, would 

still leave an obvious shortfall or 

required funding. This stadium 

will be patronised by many 

in districts including Dunsandel, 

Hurunui, Selwyn and Waimakiriri 

and also in Christchurch. It is 

therefore vital that a precise 

consultation process be enacted in 

order for ratepayers in these areas 

to have the opportunity to appraise 

the viability or their rates being 

utilised as funding for this regional 

sport facility. These sentiments are 

reiterated by many.

Scholarships awarded Council to care for 

TWO SELWYN woman were 

among 27 people awarded with 

a Freemasons scholarship at 

Parliament last week. 

Prebbleton’s Kim Doncaster 

was granted $6000 and Lincoln’s 

Melissa Derby, $10,000. 

Mrs Doncaster is studying 

towards a Master of Science at 

Canterbury University, specialising 

in child and family psychology. 

Her Masters thesis is named 

The implications of contact for 

children in care with their birth 

families. 

Mrs Doncaster said the scholarship 

came as a total surprise 

and last week’s presentation was 

“really cool.” 

After graduating, Mrs Doncaster 

hopes to work with mothers 

and children suffering with depression 

and anxiety, attachment 

issues, addiction and trauma. 

Miss Derby is studying towards 

her Doctor of Philosophy 

at Canterbury University. 

Her thesis, Restoring Māori 

literacy narratives to create 

contemporary stories of success, 

explores the unique experiences 

of emerging bilingual Māori 

children and the contextual factors 

that support their bilingual 

literacy development. 

Miss Derby says she was 

both surprised and humbled to

receive the scholarship. 

She hopes to research and 

teach in the broad area of indigenous 

self-determination, with 

a particular focus on education, 

ethnic studies and human rights. 

For 40 years Freemasons from 

throughout New Zealand have 

awarded almost $5.2 million in 

scholarships to 1162 of the country’s 

university students. 

To be eligible for the 

scholarship, students must 

be completing a degree, be 

achieving consistent A- or 

higher grades and show 

commitment to voluntary and 

community service. 

football trophies 

SELWYN UNITED Football 

Club has loaned its trophies to 

the Selwyn District Council. 

It was the joint winner of the 

sports club of the year award at 

the Canterbury Sports Awards in 

March. 

But with no current clubrooms 

to house the awards, the club 

thought it would offer them to 

the council so they could put the 

trophies on display. 

Club president Darren Sudlow 

presented the trophies to Selwyn 

Mayor Sam Broughton last week. 

“We are proud of getting 

them,” Mr Sudlow said. 

“We are also grateful to the 

council as our facilities at Foster 

Park are second to none, and the 

possible/probable sport complex 

will only further enhance that.” 

Selwyn United shared the gong 

with Old Boys Collegians Cricket 

Club. 

The club formed in 2013, an 

amalgamation of smaller clubs in 

the district, and currently boasts 

1200 members. 

“That is large in Canterbury 

club aspect but we’re only going 

to grow [with the district]. 

“Our club is built on the 

goodwill and commitment of 

many volunteers without whom

we would not function. These 

people make sports clubs in this 

country, often with little thanks 

for what they do. 

“It is nice that in this case, 

that work has not gone unrecognised.” 

To showcase their efforts, 

Mr Sudlow asked if the council 

would display the trophy, and 

the councillors accepted the offer 

and congratulated the club for its 

achievement.

Swimming brothers earn scholarships 

Grant to help 

them reach 

full potential 

• By Jacob Page 

SELWYN SWIM Club brothers 

Celyn and Ieuan Edwards 

are among the 13 New 

Zealanders named Gold Hearts 

scholars. 

Both are talented swimmers 

and the accolade from the 

children’s charity, Variety, means 

they will both receive up to 

$5000 of funding to help them 

reach their full potential in the 

pool. 

The brothers are from 

Halswell. Celyn, 17, competed at 

the Commonwealth Games this 

year, earning personal bests in 

the individual medley. 

“It was certainly a new experience 

for me, usually I only have 

400 people in the stands supporting 

us so to have 10,000 was 

something else,” Celyn said. 

He says his younger brother is 

showing plenty of promise. 

“He’s beating me in a few races 

now and seems to be heading on 

the right track.” 

Celyn holds 23 New Zealand 

records and one Oceania record. 

He swam at the Berlin IDM meet 

and the Australian Swimming 

Para Grand Prix last year, and 

SWIM BROS: Brothers Celyn and Leuan Edwards push each other to attain their goals in the pool. 

at the 2018 Victoria Championships. 

Celyn will be using his Gold 

Heart Scholarship to assist with 

his attendance at development 

camps, provided by Paraswimming 

New Zealand and the 

Selwyn Swim Club. He will also 

use the funds to assist in getting 

him to upcoming meets, both in 

New Zealand and overseas, and 

on related equipment costs. 

Ieuan, 15, has his sights set on 

competing at the 2022 Commonwealth 

Games, followed by the 

2024 Paralympic Games. 

He is also looking to compete 

in the New Zealand short course 

SPORTS 

champs and the New Zealand 

Open, as well as attend development 

camps hosted by Paraswimming 

New Zealand and 

the Selwyn Swim Club – each 

of which would not be possible 

without the Gold Heart Scholarship. 

Ieuan holds one New Zealand 

record, has won medals at 

previous New Zealand short 

course championships and New 

Zealand Open meets, and is the 

joint holder of the 2015 Halberg 

Junior Disability Games overall 

best athlete, 

“My older brother has shown 

me that I can attain my goals 

because he has done them,” 

Ieuan says. 

Ieuan wants to represent New 

Zealand in the middle-distance 

freestyle events. 

The scholarship money will 

help pay for both swimmers to 

attend national training camps 

and short course meets. 

“He’s a very relaxed older 

brother and he gives me a lot of 

good advice,” Ieuan said. 

He is currently striving to 

close the gap between his swim 

times and those of the current 

New Zealand swim team who 

are some five years older than 

him.



Lincoln para-athlete gets 

boost to achieve goals 


LINCOLN para-athlete 

Montana Brown’s desire to try 

new things has her on the path 

to representing New Zealand in 

wheelchair racing. 

The talented 15-year-old, who 

has cerebral palsy and spastic 

diplegia, has recently fallen in 

love with the sport and now 

dedicates a lot of her spare time 

to training. 

Already an avid target shooter 

and boccia player, it is her wheelchair 

racing which is starting to 

turn heads. 

Montana, who attends Cashmere 

High School, has been 

awarded a Gold Heart Scholarship 

from children’s charity, 

Variety, worth up to the value of 

$5000. 

Having only taken up the sport 

in October, Montana has already 

competed at the Halberg Junior 

Disability Games, where she 

finished third in the 50m race 

and second in both the 100m and 

200m races. 

Montana is currently using a 

borrowed wheelchair from ParaFed 

Canterbury, which is not 

quite right for her size. 

She will be using this funding 

to assist in the purchase of a 

purpose-built wheelchair of her 

own. 

“I really love the sport,” she 

FAST TRACK: Cashmere High School’s Montana Brown has 

taken to wheelchair racing quickly and has been awarded a 

scholarship from Variety to continue her progression. 

says. “When I race, it’s a lot of 

effort through my arms and I 

often come back with big bruises 

but that’s okay because they look 

really cool. 

Montana credits both ParaFed 

Canterbury and Cashmere High 

School’s conductive education 

programme for allowing her to 

have so many sporting opportunities. 

Conductive education is 

an educational system developed 

in Hungary in the 1940s. 

Its objective is to enable physically 

disabled and multi-disabled 

individuals to actively participate 

in society by means of intensive 

and systematic training and 

practice. 

Montana said she would like 

to represent New Zealand in the 

sprint distances of wheelchair 

racing at both the Commonwealth 

Games and Paralympics 

one day soon. 

“Having watched the racing 

at the Commonwealth Games 

(earlier this year), it’s motivated 

me to keep training hard and 

keep improving. 

Ellesmere side named 

ELLESMERE RUGBY coach 

Alex Robertson says an 

even senior competition has 

created plenty of depth for the 

representative season. 

The team will play Queensland 

Country in a night fixture 

at Dunsandel on June 25, then 

head to Ashburton to play 

Mid-Canterbury on July 3 in 

preparation for their Southbridge 

Shield clash with North 

Canterbury in Prebbleton on 

July 14. 

“It’s been a really tight competition 

so far which has shown 

there is depth within our clubs,” 

Robertson said. 

“I think eight of the 10 clubs 

are represented in this squad, 

which is a reflection of how 

things have been so far (in 2018). 

Roberston is in his second 

year as coach and he believes 

he learnt a lot from the 2017 

campaign. 

“This year, we don’t have a 

shorter time together as a group 

so the need to get combinations 

working quickly will be important.” 

Ellesmere won back the 

Southbridge Shield with a 35-20 

win last year which made for 

their 10th triumph in 12 years. 

Robertson congratulated the 

Springston players who have 

made the squad in the backs, 

Cameron Powell and Michael 

Sheenan. 

Roberston was aware other 

players from outside the squad 

may still force their way in 

before the games in June,

Lincoln fend off 

Proud supporters of

Shirley comeback to take victory 

SLIDING IN: Jack Dawson scores for Lincoln, while Jordan Lill also powers his way over the line.

LINCOLN COMBINED have 

shown plenty of mettle to beat 

Shirley Boys’ High School 20-18 

in their UC Championship rugby 

game on Saturday. 

Lincoln scored two tries to 

none in the first half to lead 12-6 

at the break at Lincoln High 

School. However, they saw that 

lead evaporate as they trailed 

midway through the second 

half. An unconverted try closed 

the gap to a point with 15min to 

play. 

SBHS we’re forced to rue 

three missed long-range penalty 

attempts before Lincoln captain 

Wil Gaulter slotted a 30m 

penalty with 5min to play to 

secure the win. 

Lincoln coach Mike Wilson 

SPORTS 

said it was a great confidencebuilder 

for his team to win a 

tight game after they had lost 

13-12 to Rangiora last week. 

He said in spite of leading at 

halftime, he felt his team were 

not patient with the ball. 

“I felt like we were trying to 

score too quickly and weren’t 

building our attack,” he said. 

“We just wanted to play with 

more conviction and be accurate 

in the second half. I felt we 

showed plenty of heart to stick 

at the task, even when we trailed 

because a lot of teams are just 

happy to keep it close.” 

Wilson praised the efforts of 

loosehead prop Jordan Lill. 

“I thought in his first start for 

us he was really great, he worked 

hard and got our first try,” 

Wilson said. 

No 7 Blair Royal also showed 

the physicality the whole forward 

pack had been trying to play 

with in 2018, Wilson said. 

“He was onto everything, 

hitting the rucks hard 

and carrying with good 

physicality when he had the 

ball in hand.” 

Utility back replacement, 

Caleb McStay, also impressed 

with his second half 

contribution. 

Lincoln will play Aoraki 

Combined in another home 

game on Saturday. 

BIG MOMENT: Wil Gualter, who struck the winning penalty 

conversion for Lincoln, looks to spread the ball. 

Close finish expected in Luisetti Seeds competition 

WITH JUST two rounds 

remaining in the Luisetti Seeds 

combined country division one 

rugby competition, there is still 

plenty to play for. 

Waihora’s 28-17 win over 

Ashburton has moved them 

just one point behind Saracens 

in section A. Meanwhile, 

Prebbleton continued their 

remarkable season with a 26-17 

win over Rakaia to move to 

the top of section B. In section 

A, five teams have a realistic 

chance of claiming the final two 

top four spots. Just five points 

separate Ashburton in third and 

Lincoln in seventh. 

The top of section B looks 

set to be decided in the final 

round at the end of the 

month. 

Assuming Springston can 

account for Hurunui on 

Saturday, they will head to tabletoppers 

Prebbleton to decide 

the top seed heading into the 

quarter-finals.

Backyard Critters 

Don’t let the raspberry 

bud moth spoil your fruit 

Mike 

Bowie is an 

ecologist who 

specialises in 

entomology 

(insects 

and other 

invertebrates). Each week 

he introduces a new species 

found in his backyard at 

Lincoln. His column aims to 

raise public awareness of 

biodiversity, the variety of 

living things around us 

LAST SUMMER I was excited 

with the prospect of my 

raspberry and boysenberry plants 

producing many delicious meals 

of fruity goodness. 

However, my hopes soon 

turned to real disappointment. 

On close inspection, I noted 

that many of the berries had diseased 

sections in them and some 

contained a small larva known as 

the raspberry bud moth, Heterocrossa 

rubophaga. 

As the name suggests, the 

larvae feed on the buds, but they 

also feed on the fruit, spoiling its 

appearance and taste. 

DESTRUCTIVE: The raspberry bud moth Heterocrossa 

rubophaga feed on berries, spoiling their appearance and taste. 

Interestingly, the raspberry 

bud moth was once considered 

a potential biocontrol agent of 

blackberry. 

The moth is a New Zealand 

endemic and is found throughout 

the country. 

Adults vary from light brown 

to dark brown and have a wingspan 

of 14-17mm. 

The moth forewings have two 

distinctive raised scale tufts, 

while hind wings are larger with 

trailing hairs. 

Females can lay up to 200 yellow-green 

eggs which a develop a 

gold colour. 

Larva 1mm emerge from eggs 

and develop to 10mm long. 

The larvae vary in colour from 

clear to pale yellow-green. 

They can damage up to 80 per 

cent of raspberry buds affecting 

productivity. 

Canes need to be pruned early 

autumn to reduce the incidence 

of the pest. 

Award for Maddie 

Hell Pizza marketing manager Jason Buckley presents 

Maddie Collins with her Satan’s Biggest Little Helper 

award. Maddie’s initiative in making pillowslips for fellow 

patients of Starship Children’s Health and the children’s 

ward of Christchurch Hospital earned her the award. Over 

an eight-year period, while battling a rare kidney disease, 

Maddie made more than 1000 patterned pillowslips to 

help brighten the lives of other children. Maddie’s prize 

included an all-expenses paid trip to Wellington with her 

mother Sarah, including one night’s stay at the QT Museum 

Wellington and tickets to the final dress rehearsal of The Jim 

Henson Retrospectacle. The award presentation took place 

at the hotel, followed by a high tea.

The DairyNZ Climate 

Change Roadshow 

will stop at Dunsandel 

on Monday, 11 June, to 

give dairy farmers in the 

area an opportunity to gain 

more insight and awareness. 

“Tackling climate change presents 

an opportunity for New Zealand to become global 

leaders in climate conscious agribusiness,” says 

DairyNZ senior climate change advisor Milena 

Scott. “We want our farmers and our broader 

industry to be world leading in climate change 

mitigation and adaptation.” 

The workshops are a commitment by 

DairyNZ under the Dairy Action for 

Climate Change, an 18-month long plan 

to build awareness among the dairy sector 

of the science behind climate change. 

These include the reasons dairy farmers 

need to take action to address the sector’s 

greenhouse gas emissions and the current 

mitigations options available to them. 

“The first step is education. Farmers need 

to have a good understanding of climate 

change in order to recognise why they need 

to address their emissions alongside other 

New Zealand businesses and households,” 

says Mrs Scott. 

“We want farmers to come out of these 

workshops understanding how their farm 

contributes to New Zealand’s greenhouse 

gas profile, and how specific environmental 

initiatives can improve their farm’s broader 

environmental footprint. 

“Farmers need to feel comfortable that 

adopting new environmental initiatives 

will help lead to farm businesses that are 

both profitable and sustainable. 

“Agricultural emissions are a challenge 

that the global food sector is dealing with, 

and we have an opportunity to show the 

world that it is possible to produce milk 

in a sustainable way and do our part to 

transition New Zealand to a low emissions 

and climate resilient nation.” 

Topics covered in the half day workshop 

will include; the challenges of climate 

change for the dairy sector, reasons why 

there is a need to address biological 

emissions on farms, actions farmers 

can take to reduce on-farm emissions, 

scientific research being carried out around 

climate change and the current political 

environment and development of the Zero 

Carbon Bill. 

The workshop will also include guest 

speakers from the Ministry for the 

Environment who will discuss the proposed 

Zero Carbon Bill. The consultation period 

for this legislation opens on 31 May and 

engagement by farmers in this early stage 

will ensure the best outcome for the dairy 

sector within the final legislation.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Arable farmers pull back 

on autumn planting 

Having come through a tough summer 

for growing crops and with current 

market signals muted, it appears arable 

farmers are pulling back on planned 

autumn plantings. 

“The flat prices of the last few years 

are now rebounding a bit but growers 

remain hesitant to plant massive areas,” 

says Federated Farmers arable executive 

member Brian Leadley. 

“With the buoyant demand from the 

livestock sectors (dairy in particular), we 

anticipate that milling wheat plantings 

will reduce as farmers plant feed wheat/ 

barley instead.” 

“If farmers and other end users are 

wanting domestically grown and qualityassured 

New Zealand-grown grain they 

should contact their supplier. If the 

signals are strong enough and positive 

enough, there is still plenty of time for 

growers to change their intentions.” 

Leadley comments come after the 

release of the Arable Industry Marketing 

Initiative (AIMI) April 2018 Survey. It 

shows average yields over the six surveyed 

crops were down 12 per cent after a 

shortened growing season and early 

harvest marked by ‘four seasons in one 

day’ type weather. 

Periods of high rainfall June- 

August,when some crops were flooded 

out, was followed by the heat of October- 

December and periods of heavy rain 

hitting hit during key crop establishment 

periods. 

“With climate change, that’s part of the 

game I guess,” says Leadley. 

All the surveyed crops had been 

harvested by 1 April. This is particularly 

unusual for oats, which are generally not 

harvested in Southland until well into 

May. 

“Southland had drought-type conditions 

into mid-January, which promoted 

quicker growth and earlier maturity. That 

probably had a detrimental effect around 

yield but it was able to be harvested earlier 

and may well have improved quality a bit,” 

Brian said. “It was the same with all those 

late harvest crops.” 

The AIMI survey shows carry-over 

stocks of feed wheat and feed barley are 

lower than usual, with virtually all harvest 

2017 stock sold to end-users. Available 

stocks of 2018 harvested grain will also 

find a home. 

Despite the good conditions for 

preparing and planting crops, very little 

of autumn sown crops had been planted 

by 1 April 2018. The survey indicates that 

predicted autumn plantings will be back 

by about 3,400 hectares (about a third), 

with milling wheat and malting barley 

back (reflecting poor price signals from 

those sectors), and feed barley up. 

“Grain prices over the last couple of 

years, from a growers’ perspective, have 

been unsustainable for long-term returns 

when investment in land, capital for 

machinery and so on is added into that 

gross income vs growing cost equation. 

“So it’s pleasing to see a bit of a revival in 

those prices,” says Leadley. 

“By the look of the survey results, those 

past poor seasons have pushed some 

arable growers to look at other options. 

The recent prices may have given room 

for more optimism. 

“The survey has given as a good mark 

on farmers’ planting intentions at this 

stage. The next AIMI survey in July will 

tell us whether those plans changed as a 

result of market indicators.”

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Dream it, build it 

Occasionally when you step into a show home, 

you instantly recognise it is quite unique. Such is the 

experience at R & B Builders’ Faringdon show home. 

R & B Builders’ directors Ryan Neal and Brett 

Armstrong are Licensed Building Practitioners, have each 

spent many years in the building industry and are very 

proud to bring a range of architecturally designed houses 

to the market. Their fresh approach to design and build 

and attention to detail, is second to none. 

In addition to being experienced builders, Ryan and 

Brett are creative types who like to embody their business 

motto, “Dream It, Build It” with an innovative use of 

materials and design features. The show home at 91 

Ledbury Drive, Faringdon is a fantastic example of this 

and the quality workmanship R & B clients can expect. 

The four bedroom, two storey, 240sqm house 

exemplifies a practical use of space while remaining 

open and welcoming. Cathedral ceilings throughout 

both floors, and especially in the large lounge, enhance 

the already spacious feel. A central staircase with glass 

balustrade leads to a mezzanine living space between two 

of the bedrooms and a powder room. It is a perfect area 

for children or teenagers. Skylights bring in additional 

light. 

A generously sized master bedroom on the ground 

floor, features an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe with 

sliding doors to the deck outside. 

There is plenty of storage space and the centralised 

kitchen features high-end appliances and fittings with 

a large walk-in scullery which also incorporates the 

laundry. 

It is a beautiful home, made more so by Interior 

Consultant Carol Hartnell, Ryan and Brett’s motherin-law. 

Carol is the face of the R & B show home and is 

based there from 12pm to 3pm, Wednesday to Saturday 

for viewings; on Sundays Brett or Ryan will be there. 

Carol is very friendly and approachable and works closely 

with Brett and Ryan. They enjoy client interactions 

and are big on communication and keeping clients 

informed throughout the building process. They can all 

provide advice and ideas, or take your ideas and make 

them a reality. They work with a highly motivated and 

experienced team of builders, architects and suppliers to 

bring quality architecturally designed homes to buyers.
