Grouse embarks on new crusade<br />
• By Barry Clarke<br />
WHEN SHAUGHN McNabb<br />
was working behind the bar<br />
at the Famous Grouse to earn<br />
a few dollars while a Lincoln<br />
University student, he told<br />
himself he would one day own<br />
the pub.<br />
Now a decade on, he is mein<br />
host of the establishment with<br />
business partner Mitch Drummond<br />
– the longtime Crusaders<br />
halfback and former All Black.<br />
“The hotel has always been<br />
special to me since uni days. I<br />
said 10 years ago I wanted that<br />
pub,” McNabb said.<br />
The opportunity for the two<br />
burgeoning hospitality entrepreneurs<br />
arose when the Lincoln<br />
Club decided to pull out of<br />
its lease on the pub through its<br />
company Famous Grouse 2009<br />
Ltd.<br />
It left the door open for new<br />
owners of the popular watering<br />
hole on Lincoln’s main street.<br />
“It’s a great place and we<br />
have plans to take it forward,”<br />
McNabb said.<br />
McNabb and Drummond<br />
have already made an impact<br />
with their easygoing style and<br />
willingness to get around the<br />
tables and engage with patrons.<br />
One quick change has been<br />
to abolish public holiday<br />
surcharges, a prickly subject<br />
with patrons under the previous<br />
management.<br />

Big jump in<br />
motorists<br />
caught<br />
speeding<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
ALMOST 5000 more motorists<br />
have been caught speeding in the<br />
district over the past year, latest<br />
data has revealed.<br />
In the 12 months from May<br />
2023 to April this year, 13,352<br />
drivers were caught speeding<br />
– 4777 more than for the same<br />
12-month period from May 2022<br />
to April 2023.<br />
Brookside Rd,<br />
which runs from<br />
Rolleston to the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> River,<br />
had the most<br />
infringements<br />
issued at 817.<br />
Police are<br />
refusing to<br />
Steve<br />
say what the Greally<br />
top speed was,<br />
worried it might become a<br />
challenge for others to beat.<br />
Said national road policing<br />
director Superintendent Steve<br />
Greally: “Police is concerned that<br />
the publication of the highest<br />
speed recorded may trivialise or<br />
sensationalise high speeds and<br />
potentially create an environment<br />
where people may attempt to<br />
exceed the highest recorded<br />
speed.”<br />

PAIN, PAIN and more pain.<br />
That’s what is in store<br />
for ratepayers today when<br />
councillors are expected to<br />
give the green light to a 14.9<br />
per cent rates increase.<br />
And it won’t just be pain<br />
for this financial year’s<br />
quarterly instalments.<br />
The double-digit increases<br />
will continue well into the<br />
future.<br />
And what could have been<br />
seen as a distant light at the<br />
end of the tunnel now seems<br />
to be dimming. The council<br />
has forecast rates could drop<br />
to a 3.6 per cent increase<br />
by 2<strong>03</strong>3 – yep that’s 2<strong>03</strong>3 –<br />
but that now looks like an<br />

14.9% rates rise ‘a balance’ – mayor<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
MAYOR SAM Broughton says<br />
a 14.9 per cent average rates<br />
rise strikes a balance between<br />
affordability and planning for<br />
the future.<br />
The majority of councillors<br />
are expected to vote in favour of<br />
the increase as part of adopting<br />
the <strong>2024</strong>-34 Long-Term Plan at<br />
today’s meeting.<br />
The increase<br />
is substantially<br />
higher than<br />
last year’s 5.9<br />
per cent, led<br />
by rising costs<br />
faced by councils<br />
across the country.<br />
The final figure<br />
has changed<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
little since the initial number the<br />
council publicly consulted on – a<br />
15.6 per cent average increase.<br />
Said Broughton: “It has been a<br />
pretty difficult conversation with<br />
the community and for councillors<br />
about an increase that’s far<br />
higher than we’re used to.<br />
“While the cost of living and<br />
cost of rates has been something<br />
that has been raised, so has planning<br />
and preparing for the future<br />
and thinking about a growing<br />
district so it has been a balance<br />
of those two matters.”<br />
Forecasts show double-digit<br />
rates rises are set to continue<br />
until 2027, dropping as low as<br />
3.6 per cent by 2<strong>03</strong>3.<br />
But Broughton admitted he<br />
did not expect it to get that low.<br />
“Every long-term plan I see<br />
those (lower) numbers in years<br />
seven, eight, nine, they never actually<br />
eventuate. They’re the true<br />
numbers based on the information<br />
we have right now, but that’s<br />
two election cycles away and<br />
there will be new information to<br />
hand before we get to years seven<br />
and eight.”<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> asked all councillors<br />
on Monday whether they<br />
would vote for the 14.9 increase<br />
today. Along with Broughton,<br />
Malcolm Lyall, Shane Epia,<br />
Sophie McInnes, Bob Mugford<br />
and Phil Dean said they would<br />
vote in favour of it. Elizabeth<br />
Mundt and Grant Miller said<br />
they would not support it, Debra<br />
Hasson was unsure, while Lydia<br />
Gliddon and Nicole Reid did not<br />
respond.<br />
Mundt and Miller both said<br />
the plan had too many “nice to<br />
haves” and not enough had been<br />
done to make savings, by either<br />
cutting projects or reducing<br />
operating expenditures.<br />
“You’re asking our ratepayers<br />
to take on an approximately<br />
45 per cent increase over three<br />
years,” said Miller, adding he<br />
supported spending on infrastructure<br />
where needed but not<br />
“gold plating” projects.<br />

council has set a cap for rates<br />
rises at 16 per cent for the next<br />
three years. The cap was set at 6<br />
per cent when the last LTP was<br />
signed off in 2021.<br />
Compared to Christchurch<br />
City Council, which was able to<br />
cut the initial proposed rates increase<br />
from 13.24 per cent to 9.9<br />
per cent, <strong>Selwyn</strong> has not made<br />
the same reduction.<br />
Broughton said much of the<br />
savings were found before community<br />
consultation.<br />
“We’d already made quite a lot<br />
of savings ahead of going to out<br />
the community with our draft.<br />
“Through consultation, we<br />
heard that our community<br />
wanted to continue with a whole<br />
lot of things that are important<br />
to them.”<br />
A record number of people<br />
gave feedback to the plan with<br />
more than 1500 submissions, up<br />
from 660 in 2021.<br />
Due to how rates are calculated,<br />
depending on the value of a<br />
property, the rates increase may<br />
be larger than the average. For<br />
a $847,000 home with sewage<br />
the rates increase will see a 15.8<br />
per cent rise, while some rural<br />
properties could see rises higher<br />
than 20 per cent.<br />
Despite the LTP expected to<br />
be ratified today, the future of<br />
some of the council’s transport<br />
projects is still up in the air.<br />
Almost $60 million of projects<br />
remain uncertain as the council<br />
waits for NZ Transport Agency<br />
Waka Kotahi’s approval.<br />
In the next three years, nine<br />
major capital projects – each<br />
valued at $2 million or above,<br />
totalling $38.18 million in<br />
project costs – are banking on<br />
co-funding. There is also $20.56<br />
million in minor projects relying<br />
on co-funding.<br />
For most projects, NZTA cofunding<br />
equates to 51 per cent<br />
of the budget. If they are not<br />
funded the council can decide to<br />
abandon the project, cover the<br />
cost or reduce it.<br />
The council will find out the<br />
result of co-funding in coming<br />
months.<br />

Cancellation of bus route now<br />
‘permanent’ despite lobbying<br />
NO MORE: ECan has refused to bow to public pressure and<br />
has permanently cancelled the No 87 bus route.<br />
• By Isabella Adams<br />
THE DECISION to can the No<br />
87 bus route will be permanent,<br />
despite resident outrage.<br />
The service ran for five years<br />
between Southbridge and Lincoln,<br />
and was a key link for people<br />
travelling to Christchurch.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
announced the axing of the<br />
service in May, claiming low<br />
passenger numbers were behind<br />
the decision, prompting Enviro<br />
Ellesmere to start a campaign to<br />
save the route.<br />
The group organised an<br />
emailing template for residents to<br />
send to ECan, the district council<br />
and <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Nicola Grigg.<br />
But ECan public transport<br />
manager Stuart Gibbon said their<br />
decision to axe the service was<br />
final.<br />
“The outcome of the trial will<br />
not change. The cancellation is<br />
permanent and the last day of<br />
service was on Thursday, June 27<br />
as previously communicated.”<br />
Gibbon also responded to<br />
Enviro Ellesmere’s claims data<br />
used to record passenger numbers<br />
was inaccurate.<br />
“Our analysis has confirmed<br />
that a very small number of<br />
transactions were not accounted<br />
for. This review has had no<br />
material impact on the service<br />
performance relative to patronage<br />
targets with the daily average<br />
changing from 18.9 to 19.2<br />
passenger trips.”<br />
But Enviro Ellesmere will<br />
continue its campaign to restore<br />
the service.<br />
A petition was started last<br />
week to see how many residents<br />
wanted to keep the route. So far,<br />
they’ve received more than 300<br />
signatures.<br />
Enviro Ellesmere’s Jade Arnold<br />
said the group is hopeful there<br />
will be a positive change.<br />
“What we’re demonstrating<br />
is that people want to be able to<br />
use it, and so then it’s on ECan to<br />
provide a service for people to be<br />
able to use.”<br />
They are wanting to host<br />
community meetings over the<br />
school holidays to get more public<br />
feedback.<br />
• Residents interested in<br />
joining the campaign can<br />

“We’re here to look after our<br />
patrons,” McNabb said.<br />
McNabb has strong links with<br />
the township, from his university<br />
days. He still plays for the Lincoln<br />
Rugby Club.<br />
“I enjoy the people who come<br />
in, and making it a really good<br />
experience for them. I know<br />
most of the locals so it is pretty<br />
happy for me to be back in a different<br />
capacity (as part owner).<br />
Pubs are for fun,” he said.<br />
McNabb and Drummond are<br />
not new to the hotel game. They<br />
have owned the Bush Inn Tavern<br />
in Upper Riccarton for three<br />
years and McNabb has hospitality<br />
interests in Hanmer and the<br />
Paddle and Pint in Wanaka.<br />

“Dad (Alan McNabb) has been<br />

Drummond, 30, who has<br />
had a lengthy career with the<br />

21 tries, and youngest player to<br />
become a centurion) is equally<br />
upbeat about taking over the<br />
Grouse.<br />
Patrons talking rugby with<br />
him, even with the tough season<br />
the Crusaders have just had, is<br />
part and parcel of being a publican.<br />
“It’s cool. It’s what I have done<br />
(rugby) for a long time so people<br />
always want to talk to me about<br />
that. It’s great to talk to them face<br />
to face. They’ve got questions,<br />
even though obviously it has<br />
been a tough year,” said Drummond.<br />

Potholes ‘a disgrace’<br />
PROTEST: Lincoln Voice members outside council offices<br />
in June 2022 after presenting a letter opposing the<br />
Lincoln South development.<br />
More needed from<br />
our elected reps<br />
Your recent piece on Lincoln<br />
Voice (<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, June 26)<br />
illustrates how Lincoln has been<br />
completely let down by our<br />
elected “representatives”.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council ran<br />
a sneaky and undemocratic<br />
process to get Lincoln South<br />
(PC69) approved, and fast-track<br />
legislation now means there<br />
is no recourse for community<br />
views. At a time when the town<br />
faces enormous changes our<br />
ward councillors are silent and<br />
absent.<br />
Meanwhile, the (Lincoln)<br />
town centre project remains<br />
in limbo, motorists are being<br />
injured or terrified daily on<br />
our dangerous rural roads<br />
and there is no word on what<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY Share<br />

barry@starmedia.kiwi<br />
infrastructure and public<br />
services will be put in place to<br />
service the gigantic, barren and<br />
unwanted urban sprawl planned<br />
for the south of us.<br />
Despite the best efforts<br />
of Lincoln Voice, developer<br />
greed has prevailed and our<br />
councillors and mayor, most of<br />
whom do not reside in Lincoln,<br />
have chosen not to listen or<br />
advocate for the township.<br />

HEAVY RAINFALL has played<br />
havoc with roads.<br />
Over recent weeks there has<br />
been a rise in the number of potholes<br />
appearing on the district’s<br />
roads.<br />
Council<br />
executive director<br />
of infrastructure<br />
and property<br />
Tim Mason said<br />
weather was a<br />
contributing<br />
factor, as were<br />
roadworks. Tim Mason<br />
“We have<br />
received 60 Snap Send Solve requests<br />
in relation to 41 potholes<br />
in the past month, with the<br />
number of potholes increased<br />
from the recent heavy rainfall<br />
and active development roadworks<br />
currently under way near<br />
Lincoln.”<br />
Snap Send Solve is an app residents<br />
can use to quickly report<br />
maintenance issues or concerns<br />
to the council.<br />
Ellesmere Rd was of particular<br />
concern, with road users taking<br />
to the Lincoln Community Facebook<br />
page to complain.<br />
“The roads are absolutely terrible<br />
and dangerous with all these<br />
potholes. A disgrace,” one person<br />
wrote.<br />
“They didn’t even last long, the<br />

same ones have opened back up,”<br />
another wrote.<br />
Mason said the council has<br />
been working to ensure timely<br />
repairs and maintain road<br />
safety.<br />
“The potholes on Ellesmere<br />
Rd were repaired and the<br />
section of Ellesmere Rd between<br />
Leadleys Rd and Tosswill Rd is<br />
scheduled for comprehensive<br />
reconstruction in the upcoming<br />
season.”<br />
In the 2022/23 financial<br />
year, the council repaired 8096<br />
potholes district-wide.<br />

‘A good buzz’: From family farm<br />
to large-scale solar ventures<br />
When Campbell<br />
and Naomi McMath<br />
installed solar panels on<br />
their house, they never<br />
thought 10 years later<br />
they would be building<br />
a solar farm which<br />
could power about<br />
11,000 homes. Reporter<br />
Daniel Alvey finds out<br />
how they did it<br />
LEESTON-BASED family<br />
business Kea Energy will start<br />
building one of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s biggest<br />
solar farms early next year<br />
on Buckleys Rd, next to the<br />
Brookside substation.<br />
It’s a far cry from Campbell<br />
and Naomi McMath’s first foray<br />
into solar a decade ago – installing<br />
solar panels on their home<br />
and one of the dairy sheds at the<br />
family farm.<br />
“We looked at solar panels for<br />
ourselves as more of an interest<br />
thing to see what it was like,”<br />
McMath said.<br />
The Buckleys Rd venture will<br />
combine the benefits of agriculture<br />
and solar power: 140,000<br />
tracking solar panels will be<br />
spread across 111 ha of farmland,<br />
which will still be used for animal<br />
grazing.<br />
The aim is to have it operational<br />
within two years.<br />
McMath said there are benefits<br />
to farming as well, because the<br />
solar panels provide shade.<br />
“There was a study done<br />
showing that because the lambs<br />
weren’t under as much stress<br />
they were eating more grass so<br />
they would fatten up a bit better,<br />
but there’s also some crops that<br />
grow better under solar panels<br />
because they don’t need as much<br />
sun.”<br />
McMath grew up in Hong<br />
Kong. He lived there from<br />
six months to 17 years old,<br />
while his parents worked in aviation<br />
engineering, returning to<br />
New Zealand with them in 1996.<br />
“My parents ended up buying<br />
a farm down here (near) Rakaia,<br />
so they made their Leeston their<br />
base,” he said.<br />
McMath obtained an NZCE<br />
(New Zealand certificate in<br />
engineering) and went on to<br />
became a qualified electrician.<br />
In 2001, he started at Orion. He<br />
stayed there until 2009, working<br />
in a range of roles, upskilling to a<br />
systems engineer.<br />
While he was at Orion,<br />
McMath installed four hydro<br />
turbines on his parents’ farm on<br />
Fereday Island, fed by a branch<br />
of the Rakaia River.<br />
The company’s latest solar<br />
venture will produce about 175<br />
times more power when completed.<br />
After leaving Orion, McMath<br />
moved from Christchurch to<br />
COMPANY: Kea<br />
Energy managing<br />
director Campbell<br />
McMath and his<br />
wife Naomi run<br />
the Leeston-based<br />
family business.<br />
Leeston with his wife Naomi to<br />
start Kea, working full-time on<br />
the turbines. He began selling<br />
the power from the turbines on<br />
the electricity spot market.<br />
“The market at the time was<br />
quite high and there was enough<br />
of an income from there for me<br />
to leave Orion,” McMath said.<br />
Naomi helps run the company’s<br />
day-to-day operations.<br />
She also works two days a week<br />
as a receptionist at the Leeston<br />
Medical Centre.<br />
Due to a drop in the price of<br />
electricity that could be sold on<br />
the spot market, McMath had to<br />
attract retail customers to buy<br />
their power from Kea Energy.<br />
Over time, this provided steady<br />
income to the company.<br />
From installing solar panels<br />
at home and on the family farm,<br />
the focus on solar grew. McMath<br />
started installing small solar<br />
installations on farms around<br />
Canterbury in a practice known<br />
as agrivoltaics, where the land<br />
under the panels could still be<br />
used for farmland.<br />
McMath said when they build<br />
solar farms the company hires<br />
contractors to assist.<br />
For the installations on farms,<br />
the infrastructure is owned<br />
by Kea Energy, while the land<br />
owner gets a cheap power rate<br />
through a power purchase agreement.<br />
About five years ago the Fereday<br />
Island farm was sold, meaning<br />
McMath had to find more<br />
generation to fill the gap left by<br />
the hydro turbines.<br />
The solution was to build what<br />
at the time was New Zealand’s<br />
largest solar farm in the Wairau<br />
Valley in Marlborough in 2021.<br />
“At the it was New Zealand’s<br />
One of four mini hydro<br />
stations at McMath’s family<br />
farm.<br />
largest solar farm and it is still<br />
New Zealand’s first utility-scale<br />
solar farm (producing 2.2 MW).<br />
“It was a really good feeling, a<br />
good buzz,” McMath said.<br />
Aside from building solar<br />
farms to sell electricity, Kea Energy<br />
helped get solar farms operational<br />
on four Pacific islands<br />
– Vanuatu, Atiu, Mauke, and<br />
Aitutaki – by putting the piles<br />
in the ground and mounting the<br />
hardware for the panels.<br />
Local contractors then installed<br />
the remaining hardware<br />
and panels.<br />

started by installing<br />
solar panels on his<br />

CONVERSION: Kea Energy helped install solar farms on<br />
four Pacific Islands.<br />
The solar panels replaced diesel<br />
generators on the islands, leading<br />
to another unique issue.<br />
“Once you reduce that diesel,<br />
the islands didn’t have as much<br />
shipping going to them because<br />
they weren’t bringing in the<br />
diesel much.”<br />
He said the islands benefited<br />
from increased tourism, as it was<br />
quieter without the generators<br />
running all the time.<br />
The Buckleys Rd farm project<br />
has resulted in a 50/50 partnership<br />
between Kea Energy – under<br />
the name KeaX – and United<br />
Kingdom-based company Ethical<br />
Power, which is assisting with<br />
the investment and technical<br />
expertise required to deliver the<br />
large-scale farm.<br />
“It is probably a bit big for us<br />
by ourselves,” McMath said.<br />
Ethical Power New Zealand<br />
country manager Nick Keeler said<br />
he was pleased with the council’s<br />
decision to give the project the<br />
green light on April 22.<br />
“Buckleys Rd will undoubtedly<br />
be one of the stellar solar<br />
projects in New Zealand. We’re<br />
delighted with the council’s<br />
positive decision and keen to<br />
see the project go live as soon as<br />
possible.”<br />
Resource consent did not come<br />
easily, with the project facing opposition<br />
from nearby residents,<br />
including claims the solar farm<br />
would damage the soil.<br />
KeaX’s first resource consent<br />
Similar to the stock<br />
market, the spot market<br />
is where electricity is<br />
bought and sold.<br />
Generators that are<br />
bigger than 10 MW, or are<br />
connected to the national<br />
grid, compete in the spot<br />
market for the right to<br />
generate electricity to<br />
satisfy demand.<br />
As demand and supply<br />
change over the course<br />
of a day, spot prices are<br />
different in each trading<br />
What is the spot market?<br />
application was declined in<br />
March 2023, for not meeting<br />
the standard to pass the highly<br />
productive land requirement,<br />
and due concern the application<br />
was not publicly notified.<br />
In his decision to grant the<br />
second resource consent, hearing<br />
commissioner Matt Bonis said<br />
the project met all requirements<br />
to get resource consent.<br />
Said Bonis: “I have concluded<br />
that the actual and potential effects<br />
on the environment associated<br />
with the proposal, subject to<br />
conditions being met, will be no<br />
more than minor.”<br />
McMath did not want to<br />
comment on the opposition,<br />
which involved them removing<br />
company branding from their<br />
family car due to it being<br />
targeted with eggs.<br />
He believes the future of solar<br />
power is strong in New Zealand<br />
and has the potential to attract<br />
companies because of the green<br />
image.<br />
“Solar is just another clog<br />
in the machine of renewable<br />
energy like wind, hydro, and<br />
geothermal. It’s certainly not a<br />
stand-alone option.”<br />
“I’m passionate about New<br />
Zealand becoming much<br />
more of a renewable energy<br />
hub attracting high energy<br />
customers,” said McMath,<br />
adding high energy customers<br />
could include data centres<br />
or hydrogen generation stations.<br />
period. Prices also vary by<br />
location, because of the<br />
costs of getting electricity<br />
from generators to<br />
consumers. Generally,<br />
prices are higher in<br />
locations that are further<br />
away from the main<br />
power stations.<br />
Kea Energy sells about<br />
80 per cent of the power<br />
it generates on the<br />
spot market, with the<br />
rest being sold to retail<br />
customers.

LIONS CLUBS from across<br />
the district have come together<br />
to get ambulance crews a key<br />
piece of equipment.<br />
An emergency lifting<br />
cushion was presented to Hato<br />
Hone St John Rolleston group<br />
operations manager Brendan<br />
McInnes last week.<br />
The ELK lifting cushion can<br />
hold up to 450kg and assists<br />
in moving people who may be<br />
fragile, heavier, or have low<br />
mobility into a sitting position.<br />
This enables ambulance crews<br />
to transport them to a bed or<br />
wheelchair more easily.<br />
The emergency device will<br />
be housed at the Rolleston<br />
ambulance base but will be<br />
available to assist paramedics<br />
and people who need it across<br />
the district.<br />
The donation of the<br />
equipment was led by the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Lions Club following<br />
its Designs and Desserts<br />
fundraiser which raised $6000.<br />
The money was divided<br />
equally between three<br />
recipients: Hato Hone St John,<br />
PROactive Drive, a driver<br />
training service and Upstream<br />
NZ, an organisation focusing<br />
on youth mental wellbeing.<br />
Financial support to help<br />
pay for the cushion was<br />
also provided by Ellesmere,<br />
Malvern and Rolleston Lions<br />
clubs.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Lions Club president<br />
Jane Forrest said up until now,<br />
they have had to wait for more<br />
than 30 minutes for a lifting<br />
cushion from Christchurch.<br />
“They’ve had to wait for<br />
it to come out to wherever<br />
it’s needed, which could be<br />

Darfield, it could be Leeston,<br />
it could even be Arthur’s Pass<br />
but now this lifting cushion<br />
will be based here,” Forrest<br />
said.<br />
Forrest said the Lions<br />
wanted to donate a new piece<br />
of equipment which could be<br />
used locally instead of making<br />
a monetary donation.<br />

“This for us is really special<br />
because it’s actually something<br />
physical that we know is going<br />
to be used time and time again.<br />
“ Every time we see an ambulance<br />
go by we might say ‘I<br />
wonder if our lifting cushion’s<br />
going out’, you know.”<br />

Meet Sabine,<br />
your friendly<br />
Mobile Ear<br />
Nurse<br />
HARD WORK: Lincoln High School was inspired by the five stages of grief<br />
for their performance at the Showquest regionals.<br />
Showquest success<br />
LINCOLN HIGH School performers had<br />
a taste of success at the recent Showquest<br />
regionals.<br />
Fourteen students participated in the<br />
event, and most notably received the award<br />
for best choreography.<br />
They also placed third overall, and<br />
got highly commended for styling and<br />
soundtrack and special recognition for their<br />
school spirit.<br />
For Showquest, high schools and primary<br />
schools from Canterbury were challenged<br />
to create an original stage-based mini<br />
Broadway musical following the elements<br />
of art, music, dance, drama, culture and<br />
technology.<br />
The competition is student-run, and<br />
performances are centred around an issue<br />
most important to them.<br />
Lincoln’s piece was inspired by the five<br />
stages of grief.<br />
Principal Adrian Fastier said the school is<br />
PROUD: Fourteen students from<br />
Lincoln High School participated in<br />
the competition.<br />
very proud of the achievements.<br />
“(Their) fantastic achievements are the<br />
result of a huge amount of hard work and<br />
dedication. ”<br />
Rolleston College was also successful<br />
at the competition, receiving second<br />
overall and special awards for drama and<br />
choreography.<br />
Sabine is a woman who loves her job. Which is good, because she created<br />
it. The Mobile Ear Nurse isn’t a franchised business that you can buy, or a<br />
standard DHB offering, it’s an innovative and heartfelt service that Sabine<br />
fashioned for herself. And now <strong>Selwyn</strong> loves it too.<br />
For over a year now, Sabine’s van has been a familiar sight nipping around<br />
all over the district. The core of her business has always been home visits,<br />
through which she has built up many loyal and regular customers.<br />
More recently she’s also been running day clinics, still in a wide range of towns<br />
and villages across the district. Keep an eye on her Facebook or www.mobileear-nurse.nz<br />
to see when she’s near you, then book a time.<br />
Next clinics, booking open now:<br />
• Lincoln, Monday 8 <strong>July</strong>, Community Care Centre, 16 Lyttelton St<br />
• Leeston, Tuesday 9 <strong>July</strong>, Sun & Moon Yoga and Wellbeing Centre, 93<br />
High St<br />
You can be sure that you are in the safest hands. Originally from Germany,<br />
Sabine has 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, working in both<br />
Germany and New Zealand. Her medical background includes intensive care<br />
unit (ICU), dialysis, district nursing, and care of people with neurological and<br />
brain injuries.<br />
After 20 years in the medical system, Sabine realised that she wanted to keep<br />
caring for people but in a different way and setting. She wanted to be able to<br />
spend more time with people than the system allowed. So a crucial feature of<br />
how she has designed her business is that the appointments are around half<br />
an hour. This means there is a good amount of time for discussion and for more<br />
complicated ear care.<br />
If there is more needed than ear care, Sabine also works with Audiologists,<br />
GPs and ENT Specialists. She is an ACC and Veterans Affairs provider.<br />
Sabine’s desire to truly understand her clients’ concerns and needs regarding<br />
their ear health is genuine. She is passionate about making a real difference in<br />
people’s lives.<br />

Disposing of hot ashes safely<br />
A warm fire in the fireplace is one of the best<br />
things about winter, but without care it can<br />
quickly become a hazard. One of the easiest<br />
ways fires start is not disposing properly of<br />
hot ashes.<br />
Navigating sunstrike during the winter months<br />
Sunstrike is a blinding glare that can be incredibly<br />
dangerous for motorists during winter months in<br />
Aotearoa. It is important to plan ahead; stay alert;<br />
slow down; and drop back.<br />
It can happen at any time of the day but is most<br />
likely during the morning or afternoon, when the<br />
sun’s rays can hit your windscreen at a low angle,<br />
making it difficult, or even impossible, to see. One<br />
way to help combat this and improve visibility is<br />
keeping the inside and outside of your windscreen<br />
clean, as excess dust or grime can increase the<br />
effects of sunstrike.<br />
Keep a clean waffle-weave microfibre cloth handy<br />
to wipe the inside of your windscreen. Sun visors<br />
also help reduce glare.<br />
keep polarised sunglasses in your car to wear to<br />
minimise the amount of sun in your eyes.<br />
When you can’t see at intersections due to<br />
sunstrike, look outside your windows and proceed<br />
extremely slowly until the sunstrike clears. If you<br />
are struggling to see or don’t feel comfortable<br />
driving in the conditions, pull over safely and wait a<br />
few minutes to see if the conditions improve or the<br />
sun moves into a different position.<br />
Pay attention to who else is on the road, including<br />
cyclists and pedestrians, who may also experience<br />
sunstrike and not see vehicles approaching.<br />
Increasing your following distance gives you more<br />
time to react, and reducing speed can help ensure<br />
everyone using the road gets home safely.<br />
Ashes can stay hot long after a fire has gone<br />
out and they can and do start fires in household<br />
rubbish bins. Hot ashes have also started fires<br />
in rubbish trucks and transfer stations.<br />
Always remember — bucket, bag it and bin it.<br />
• Using a small metal shovel, scoop ash from<br />
your fireplace into a metal bucket with a lid.<br />
It’s really important that you only use a metal<br />
bucket or container and not something that<br />
could easily catch fire from any residual heat<br />
left in the ashes such as plastic or cardboard.<br />
• Take the bucket outside, away from any<br />
buildings, and douse with water.<br />
• Leave to cool for at least five days. Once the<br />
ash has been safely cooled you can empty<br />
the cold ash into a rubbish bag and place it<br />
into your rubbish bin. Please do not place<br />
ash into your recycling or organics bin.<br />
Before heading out, check your water and<br />
window washer fluid levels are full. If possible,<br />

SPORT 23<br />
Sometimes the players know best<br />
Bevan Sisson<br />
Rugby matters<br />
HATS OFF to the new All Blacks<br />
coaching group for allowing a<br />
number of key players to have a<br />
hit out for their clubs prior to the<br />
team naming.<br />
THe likes of Fletcher Newell for<br />
Lincoln Uni, Tamaiti Williams<br />
for Burnside and Sevu Reece for<br />
Sumner, as well as many others<br />
across the country all managed to<br />
get some minutes in.<br />
Player welfare is now monitored<br />
more than ever, especially in the<br />
area of head injury assessments,<br />
including compulsory standdowns<br />
which has been a real step<br />
forward.<br />
It has always been a fine line<br />
between getting players field time<br />
(head injuries aside) and what<br />
the specialists agree on. The bane<br />
of club coaches has always been<br />
the power the academies and<br />
high performance teams have on<br />
controlling their players’ minutes.<br />
The over-cautious approach<br />
at times when a player has come<br />
back from either a light muscle<br />
injury or a tournament where they<br />
are required to rest for weeks after<br />
is frustrating.<br />
They are obviously training<br />
longer than club teams and<br />
in some cases having to travel<br />
distances from tournaments as<br />
well, but many times the players<br />
themselves are fit, keen to play,<br />
and want to get on the field.<br />
Look at the NRL competition<br />
where players can be involved<br />
in one of the toughest games of<br />
the year in State of Origin on a<br />
Wednesday and then front for<br />
their club that weekend.<br />
Look at Blues captain Patrick<br />
Tuipulotu. What a show of<br />
leadership in the Super Rugby<br />
final, coming back from a knee<br />
injury and with a ‘follow me’<br />
attitude on the field.<br />
Tuipulotu took it out of the<br />
hands of the medical group and<br />

PLAYER POWER: Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu’s return from injury to lead his side to<br />
Super Rugby victory shows that sometimes players know more than the experts about<br />
their readiness to play.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
proved he was capable to play after<br />
a series of fitness tests.<br />
As in Tuipulotu’s case, sometimes<br />
the players just know when<br />
they are going to be right to play.<br />
If he was in pain he didn’t show it.<br />
Many times there have been<br />
players wanting to stay on the<br />
field past their allotted minutes<br />
and contribute to their team,<br />
but have been stopped by overcautious<br />
physios and strength and<br />
conditioning coaches.<br />
Has all this over-care brought<br />
the benefit of reducing the number<br />
of muscle strains?<br />
This year especially, the number<br />
of hamstrings, groin strains and<br />
other soft tissue injuries seem<br />
higher than ever.<br />
A well-respected strength and<br />
conditioning coach told me that<br />
trying to duplicate things such<br />
as speed loading and sprinting at<br />
training is difficult as players need<br />
to be closely monitored to ensure<br />
they are hitting the same speeds<br />
they do in the game.<br />
It is hard for them to push to<br />
those efforts when not in the heat<br />
of battle.<br />
With everything monitored,<br />
from running minutes, speed<br />
tracking, impacts and over-all<br />
loading, one aspect that seems to<br />
be missing is asking the players<br />
themselves.<br />
If they feel up to it and there is<br />
no obvious reason except their<br />
“minutes are to high” then get<br />
them on the grass. The only time<br />
it shouldn’t be left to the players is<br />
in the case of head injuries – that’s<br />
a non-negotiable.<br />

Fencing goes “Outside the Box”<br />
• By Isabelle Teresa<br />
The public open day and annual<br />
conference for the Fencing Contractors<br />
Association NZ (FCANZ) are coming<br />
up, and tickets are selling fast. FCANZ<br />
supports fencing industry excellence<br />
across rural, residential and commercial<br />
projects.<br />
From Wednesday 7 to Friday 9<br />
August, these specialists will gather in<br />
Christchurch for Conference24, with the<br />
theme “Outside the Box”. The concept<br />
calls on fencing contractors to “visit<br />
opportunities that ignore “the box”<br />
entirely without stretching themselves<br />
too thin or diluting their core business”.<br />
Wednesday: National Fencing Field<br />
Day – public welcome<br />
Conference24 kicks off with the return<br />
of the National Fencing Field Day, held<br />
at the Rangiora A&P Showgrounds<br />
from 10am–3pm on Wednesday 7<br />
August. Open to<br />
the public as well<br />
as the conference<br />
attendees, the Field<br />
Day features a wide<br />
array of exhibitors<br />
from both FCANZ<br />
partner and nonpartner<br />
organisations<br />
who service the<br />
fencing and farming<br />
communities.<br />
It showcases<br />
the best products,<br />
services and<br />
equipment available<br />
to fencing and<br />
farming, including<br />
tools, machinery, vehicles, clothing<br />
and personal protection equipment.<br />
The programme will include product<br />
demonstrations and the ever-popular<br />
novelty and skills competitions.<br />
Rural Mental Health advocate Craig<br />
“Wiggy” Wiggins of the “Whatever With<br />
Wiggy” charitable trust will be onsite all<br />
day with the Carr Family Foundation’s<br />
Rural Health & Wellness van. Here you<br />
can receive a free wellness check from<br />
a registered nurse or have a chat with<br />
Wiggy about any mental health concerns.<br />
The Health & Wellness van visits rural<br />
events around the country, offering<br />
free checkups that look at key wellness<br />
indicators: weight, blood sugar, blood<br />
pressure, resting pulse rate and BMI.<br />
They believe that “Life is too short to sit<br />
back and say if only I’d had a check-up.”<br />
Thursday and Friday<br />
Thursday has serious business – then<br />
Friday devolves into fun. The “Activities<br />
Day” includes a competitive team<br />
event, with prizes: “Wear gear that is<br />
comfortable to walk in and bring your<br />
lateral thinking brain. We can confirm<br />
that it absolutely does NOT involve<br />
fishing.” After guided Christchurch<br />
sightseeing, events wrap up with a midwinter-Christmas<br />
themed dinner and<br />
dance at the Addington Racecourse.<br />

Staying safe in rural flooding<br />
• By Isabelle Teresa<br />
Not wanting to be a pessimist, but... heavy rains,<br />
rising water levels and out-and-out flooding can<br />
have a huge impact on those living rurally. Assuming<br />
you’ve already got a formal management and<br />
emergency plan for your animals, here’s some things<br />
to consider for your humans.<br />
Floodwater<br />
Never try to walk, swim, drive through – or play<br />
in! – floodwater. It can be contaminated with sewage,<br />
farm run-off, faecal matter from animals, household<br />
chemicals, petrol, oil, and other hazardous<br />
substances. It can also be electrically charged from<br />
underground or downed powerlines. If you do come<br />
into contact with it, thoroughly clean your hands,<br />
clothes and any property touched.<br />
Better safe than sorry – boil water for drinking<br />
and preparing food, until you’re certain it’s not<br />
contaminated. Follow any ongoing boil water notice<br />
instructions from the Council.<br />
Driving<br />
Most flood fatalities are vehicle related. It’s hard<br />
to tell how deep the water is, and as little as 30cm of<br />
water can cause you to lose control of your vehicle,<br />
including SUVs. If your vehicle stalls, abandon it<br />
immediately and climb to higher ground. Many<br />
deaths have resulted from attempts to move stalled<br />
vehicles.<br />
The clean-up<br />
Assume that the water has distributed germs<br />
and bugs. When cleaning up, wear a mask, gloves,<br />
goggles, long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Cover<br />
any open cuts or grazes and wash your hands<br />
thoroughly after each clean-up session.<br />
Indoors: throw away all food and drinking water<br />
that’s come in contact with floodwater, including<br />
things stored in containers. You just can’t tell whether<br />
the containers were damaged or seals compromised.<br />
Outdoors: use a shovel to remove surface<br />
contamination. Put it at the edge of your section,<br />
ensuring it doesn’t block drainage channels. Natural<br />
processes such as sunlight, drying and wind will<br />
make your outside areas safer over the short<br />
to medium-term. Leave garden surfaces and<br />
lawns exposed to the air and sunshine to dry<br />
out naturally. Make drainage holes with a fork to<br />

Disinfect outdoor areas of heavy contamination<br />
with garden lime. Hard surfaces, such as driveways,<br />
can be cleaned and disinfected with 1:10<br />

Recycling plastic – important<br />
• By Isabelle Teresa<br />
It’s plastic-free <strong>July</strong>, a concept that<br />
began in Australia in 2011, advocating for<br />
the end of single-use plastics. The monthlong<br />
campaign now inspires 100+ million<br />
participants in 190 countries and the<br />
website is an excellent source of resources,<br />
for home, work, school, events, business,<br />
community and local government: www.<br />
plasticfreejuly.org<br />
While reducing the use of plastic is<br />
important, if it already exists, it’s best to<br />
re-use it. But no one says that’s easy.<br />
You probably know of the awardwinning<br />
company “Future Post”, founded by a kiwi<br />
farmer of over 20 years. It produces 100%<br />
recycled plastic fenceposts, designed as an<br />
alternative to classic wooden fenceposts,<br />
which rot and crack. Wooden ones are also<br />
treated with chromated copper arsenate<br />
(CCA), which leaches into our soils and<br />
waters, is restricted in many countries, and<br />
is not healthy for the animals who chew<br />
the posts.<br />
By contrast, the recycled plastic posts<br />
are non-conductive, approved for organic<br />
use, don’t leach CCA, and stock can’t<br />
chew them. They can be worked with<br />
in the same way as wood, with all the<br />
normal tools and equipment. And while<br />
the initial cost is higher, their 50+ year life<br />
expectancy makes up for it.<br />
So the rural community was confused<br />
when Future Post was targeted in April<br />
by a Sunday-Star <strong>Times</strong> year-long<br />
investigation and major article, with<br />
this heading: “The celebrated recycling<br />
company that’s dumping plastic in a<br />
landfill”. The allegations boiled down to<br />
Future Post being paid to receive plastic<br />
waste, some of which it seemed to be<br />
photographed dumping at least once a<br />
month.<br />

Reduction Water Filter Solution<br />
If you want to reduce chlorine in your water we have a solution, be it<br />
under bench single tap or whole house.<br />

a 20” carbon filter cartridge.<br />

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

Future Post’s response will sound<br />
depressingly familiar to any waste<br />
management professional, or indeed<br />
to op shop staff. Amongst the material<br />
they receive are items either not a type<br />
that they can process, or contaminated<br />
to such a degree that they can’t process<br />
it. The plant doesn’t have sorting or<br />
cleaning facilities, and so relies on those<br />
who provide the recycling to have sorted<br />
and supplied it suitably.<br />
The story seems to have been dropped,<br />
and Future Post goes from strength to<br />
strength, recently releasing its new 100%<br />
recycled plastic rails.<br />
But the message remains, for all of us.<br />
Recycling can only work if the people<br />
providing the materials do it right.<br />
Plastic-free <strong>July</strong> is a timely prompt to<br />
look again at how you’re handling your<br />
rubbish and recycling, at work and at<br />
home.<br />

Heavyweight LDV lacking refinement<br />
WE START THIS week’s new<br />
vehicle road test with a question.<br />
Is there any sort of market here<br />
for a huge Chinese made luxury,<br />
all electric seven-seat people<br />
mover costing $119,000?<br />
Chinese automotive giant LDV<br />
reckon there is, because that’s<br />
exactly what they’ve launched<br />
here in the form of the MIFA 9.<br />
If nothing else, this imposing,<br />
futuristic, quirky looking thing<br />
is hard to miss. However, it is a<br />
vehicle destined to be a rarity on<br />
our roads, because of the cost<br />
and being an unknown.<br />
Many will be curious to know<br />
what the name MIFA 9 stands<br />
for? Well not much that makes<br />
any sense: Maximum, Intelligent,<br />
Friendly, Artistic and the ‘9’<br />
stands for Premium.<br />
The vehicle looks classy<br />
enough with adaptive LED<br />
headlamps up front and a fullwidth<br />
light bar at the rear.<br />
From every angle, this is a<br />
big vehicle at 2-metres wide<br />
and 5.3m long, and making a<br />
long story longer is the MIFA<br />
9’s 3.2m wheelbase. While we<br />
are continuing to focus on how<br />
this newest LDV measures up,<br />
there is a minimum of 1.5m of<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
headroom from the base of any<br />
of the three rows of seats to the<br />
roof. Few people movers sold<br />
here would better that number.<br />
There’s also more than 900mm<br />
of legroom for each row, except<br />
the third that gets an even more<br />
generous 978mm.<br />
All the luxury stops are pulled<br />
out for this model, and they need<br />
to be given this is among the<br />
most expensive Chinese-made<br />
vehicles sold here.<br />
There are people pampering<br />
features everywhere.<br />
There’s mighty full-length<br />
electric panoramic sunroof, and<br />
it’s a clever one. For example if<br />
anyone in the vehicle receives<br />
a phone call and the sunroof<br />
happens to be open, all the<br />
windows and the sunroof<br />
automatically close. This shuts<br />
out any irritating background<br />
noises that may spoil your<br />
important phone conversation.<br />
How thoughtful is that!<br />
New Zealand gets a threemodel<br />
MIFA 9 range, each with<br />
drive-away pricing that leads<br />
off with the entry level Elite at<br />
$79,990, while the mid-spec<br />
Luxury retails for $99,990. Easily<br />
the most expensive model, and<br />
by a sizeable margin, is the<br />
$119,990 Premium provided for<br />
this road test. Interestingly we<br />
pay much less here than they do<br />
in Australia for this model. There<br />
it sells for a wildly optimistic<br />
NZ$143,000. The base Elite<br />
version is a cleaner, roomier, and<br />
more economical alternative to<br />
a Kia Carnival diesel. Making<br />
the deal that much sweeter is<br />
a 5-year 100,000km warranty,<br />
and with 8-years and up to<br />
200,000km on the battery.<br />
This luxury heavyweight of<br />
the giant people mover brigade<br />
possesses a remarkably good<br />
turn of pace for such a high,<br />
wide, long and hefty vehicle at<br />
nearly 2.6 tonnes.<br />
Providing the performance<br />
fireworks is an 180kW electric<br />
motor driving the front wheels<br />
with three drive modes, Sport,<br />
Normal and Eco available. That<br />
motor manages a decent 350Nm<br />
of torque, enough to propel it<br />
from 0-100km/h in a sharpish<br />
8.9 seconds.<br />
All models are fitted with a<br />
large 90kWh lump of a battery<br />
pack, giving the car a real world<br />
EV driving range of 430km,<br />
putting it in the right ballpark for<br />
a large electrified people mover.<br />
Smooth strong acceleration<br />
had the test vehicle moving<br />
with almost indecent haste from<br />
traffic light standing starts, much<br />
to the surprise of the drivers it<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 5; Build Quality<br />
5; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for<br />
money: 6; Safety – Five Star ANCAP rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 6.5<br />
left in its wake. Over indulge too<br />
many times in these moments<br />
of driving exhilaration and the<br />
EV range suffers. Just how much<br />
is down to whether you adopt<br />
a more circumspect style of<br />
driving.<br />
A single-speed automatic<br />
keeps things moving along<br />
nicely in both town and highway<br />
driving.<br />
The cabin is seriously large.<br />
This means heaps of space to pile<br />
in a whole bunch of features that<br />
make this a road-going luxury<br />
cruise liner. No surprises then<br />
to find two large captain’s chairs<br />
in the second row, with cooling<br />
and heating, massaging function<br />
and one-touch fully-electric<br />
reclining.<br />
This is a bold breakout vehicle<br />
for LDV, who are intent on<br />
showing the automotive world<br />
they can design and build a top<br />
class luxury vehicle and as a<br />
first attempt, it shows plenty of<br />
promise.<br />
However, these luxuries<br />
aren’t enough to ignore its flaws<br />
that you don’t expect in $120K<br />
vehicle.<br />
These include inconsistent<br />
build quality, variable attention<br />
to detail and too many hard and<br />
lower grade plastic trims and<br />
surfaces in the cabin.<br />
The test vehicle doesn’t miss a<br />
safety trick, and creates a few of<br />
its own with a fatigue reminder<br />
system, using a camera on the<br />
A-pillar. This will alert the driver<br />
to things like smoking, fatigue,<br />
viewing their phone, or not<br />
looking at the road.<br />
There are seven airbags, and<br />
loads of safety systems at work<br />
on the front line, including<br />
autonomous emergency braking,<br />
adaptive cruise control, forward<br />
collision assist, and lane keep<br />
assist.<br />
Nothing that groundbreaking<br />
with the suspension with an<br />
independent set up front and<br />
rear with a five-bar link for the<br />
latter.<br />
As expected, the ride is skewed<br />
towards comfort and it delivers<br />
that well enough over favourable<br />
road surfaces. It’s less adept on<br />
demanding roads where noise is<br />
more noticeable.<br />
Handling at moderate speeds<br />
over undulating terrain, and<br />
during cornering was better than<br />
expected, but it’s a vehicle that<br />
doesn’t enjoy being hurried along<br />
over these sorts of roads.<br />
Knowing and understanding<br />
the MIFA 9’s road holding<br />
limitations and driving to these<br />
is one of the keys to enjoying this<br />
unique people mover.<br />

Truly one of a kind<br />

Undeniably stunning in every single aspect, this is a truly special<br />
home that you simply must view. Inside you will discover a wealth<br />
of luxurious additions that elevate this home from special to<br />
spectacular. The home’s grand proportions are further enhanced<br />
by a cathedral ceiling in the living areas, whilst the numerous floorto-ceiling<br />
windows and ranch sliders flood the rooms with natural<br />
light.<br />
The 278sqm (approx.) home perfectly combines style with<br />
practical family living and superb entertaining options. The chef’s<br />
kitchen has been expertly planned to make food preparation<br />
easy with a 90cm freestanding stove, stone kitchen benchtops,<br />
a plumbed double fridge space. The luxurious master suite<br />
boasts a wall-to-wall tiled shower in the ensuite, fabulous<br />
custom cabinetry in the dressing room and an expansive master<br />
suite. The three generously-proportioned additional double<br />
bedrooms are complemented by a central family bathroom with<br />
a freestanding bath, whilst three toilets allow ease of everyday<br />
living. The spacious living areas provide excellent indoor living<br />
and entertaining options, with multiple ranch sliders leading<br />
effortlessly to the large kwila deck and private rear garden. Wellcatered<br />
for large or extended families, a third living room provides<br />
fantastic versatility of use as an additional lounge, kids playroom,<br />
rumpus room or home office. A carpeted tandem triple-car garage<br />
with attic storage, combined with an abundance of off-street<br />
parking, make this the perfect property if you have extra vehicles,<br />
boats or trailers. Two ducted heat pumps, pop up irrigation,<br />
Bluetooth speakers, excellent storage and a separate laundry are<br />

Rolleston 47 Othello Drive<br />
Central, affordable, modernised – what’s not to love?<br />
Rarely do we have the chance to market a property that offers a central and established location, in an affordable<br />
price bracket, that has been modernised; so we are thrilled to present this opportunity here at 47 Othello Drive. Set<br />
in a tree-lined street only a few minutes walk from central Rolleston with amenities including Rolleston Square,<br />
Rolleston library and the expanding 'Rolleston Fields' development, this home certainly receives a 'tick' for location.<br />
The home's configuration offers separate living spaces, three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double<br />
garage; however, an updated kitchen with dish drawers, retrofit double-glazing throughout and multiple heating<br />
options ensure the modern-day comforts and conveniences are guaranteed. Situated on an expansive 834sqm<br />
section, there is an abundance of space for kids to play, animals to roam or green thumbs to get their hands dirty.<br />

Neutral territory<br />
While bold interior trends come and<br />
go, neutral colour schemes are always in.<br />
Done right, muted shades and low-key<br />
accessories can look stunning and help<br />
make your interiors look relaxing, bright<br />
and airy – and who doesn’t want that?<br />
Not only that, but a neutral colour<br />
scheme can work in every room of your<br />
home – think sleek all-white bathrooms,<br />
cosy tan and taupe living rooms and<br />
sophisticated grey-scale bedrooms.<br />
However, although the look is laidback<br />
- and perfect for every room - it doesn’t<br />
mean it is without its pitfalls; banishing<br />
colours from your rooms needs to<br />
be approached with care and some<br />
forethought to ensure you get things right<br />
and avoid it looking bland or boring.<br />
The key to nailing the neutral look is to<br />
incorporate the use of various textures and<br />
shades into your interiors.<br />
Layering textures will give your home a<br />
luxurious feel and prevent it looking flat.<br />
You can add plenty of interesting detail<br />
with textural elements, such as natural<br />
clay pots, marble worktops, linen curtains,<br />
woven baskets, bamboo bowls, fluffy rugs<br />
and fringing on cushions; while mirrors<br />
can help bring an added flair to neutral<br />
rooms and give the illusion of more space.<br />
Another tip to preventing your rooms<br />
from looking sparse of unwelcoming, is<br />
using different wood finishes to warm<br />
things up – an all-white room with a rich,<br />
deep stained wooden floor or beamed<br />
ceiling looks incredible, while still being<br />
neutral and fresh.<br />
In a similar way, different types and<br />
finishes of metal – for example brushed<br />
steel and gleaming gilt – can help bring the<br />
most out of a neutral palette and pack in<br />
eye-catching highlights.<br />
In terms of shades, if you want to stick<br />
to one or two colours – for example beige<br />
and white – mix it up with different hues,<br />
like, camel, tan, sand and biscuit alongside<br />
ivory, vanilla, eggshell and antique white.<br />
Keep things balanced by using both warm<br />
and cool tones, such as silvery, cool greys<br />
with warmer shades of brown.<br />
Although conventional design rules<br />
suggest avoiding mixing patterns, when it<br />
comes to neutrals pretty much anything<br />
goes as the fuss-free colour scheme<br />
prevents it looking busy and clashing;<br />
meaning you can pair a floral armchair<br />
with a geometric print rug or some striped<br />
curtains. You can even get in touch with<br />
your wild-side and bring in some animalprints,<br />
in muted shades – just try to include<br />
a combination of small and large prints to<br />
keep things looking chic.<br />
All out neutrals not your thing? Well,<br />
they can provide a great backdrop for<br />
splashes of bold colour – maybe an eyecatching<br />
piece of artwork for the bedroom,<br />
a brightly coloured rug in the bathroom<br />
or some funky scatter cushions to liven up<br />
the living room, all of which will really pop<br />
against a pared-down theme.<br />
You can also add some green, leafy<br />
houseplants, funky cactuses, or a bright<br />
floral arrangement to experiment with a bit<br />
of colour without going over the top – the<br />
bonus to using flowers as a feature in your<br />
home is that you can change it up with the<br />
seasons without spending a fortune and<br />
give plants a new lease of life with a new<br />
pot or planter.<br />
If a hint of colour isn’t quite enough<br />
for you, then you may want to introduce<br />
a feature wall; splash on some paint in a<br />
daring colour such as emerald green, ruby<br />
red or cobalt blue, or go for a striking<br />
patterned wallpaper to bring some drama<br />
to your interiors.<br />
With a bit of planning, neutrals can be<br />
anything but nondescript.<br />
