‘I was very, very lucky<br />
to have been saved’<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
FOR WILHELMINA Theewis,<br />
a morning walk with her dog<br />
nearly turned into her last –<br />
but she was saved by a former<br />
lifeguard.<br />
Theewis left her home just<br />
before <strong>10</strong>am for a regular walk<br />
with her dog Bingo. But she only<br />
made it about 50m down the<br />
road before collapsing.<br />
“I was walking one of our<br />
two dogs and I just got to the<br />
corner and thought I’m going<br />
to faint and that’s the last I<br />
remember until I woke up in the<br />
ambulance,” she said.<br />
The 63-year-old Lincoln<br />
resident suffered a pulmonary<br />
embolism – a blood clot blocking<br />
an artery in the lung.<br />
“They discovered I had a<br />
massive pulmonary embolism<br />
which was on both sides of my<br />
lungs . . . so (I was) very, very<br />
lucky to able to have been saved,”<br />
Theewis said.<br />
Former lifeguard Caitlain Gell<br />
came to her rescue that Tuesday.<br />
Gell was walking her four-yearold<br />
son William to preschool<br />
with seven-month-old daughter<br />
Florence. • Turn to page 4<br />

25% rise in<br />
water rates<br />
‘sneaky’ say<br />
residents’<br />
associations<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
SNEAKY AND underhanded.<br />
That’s the broadside two<br />
residents’ association chiefs have<br />
made about the latest jump in<br />
water rates.<br />
The council rubber-stamped its<br />
<strong>2024</strong>-34 Long Term Plan, which<br />
along with a 14.9 per cent average<br />
rates rise also included a 25 per<br />
cent increase in water bills.<br />
For those on<br />
metered water, it<br />
will now cost $1<br />
per cubic metre<br />
of water, up from<br />
80c in the last<br />
financial year.<br />
For those on a<br />
restricted supply,<br />
it will now cost Harvey<br />
$280 per unit up Polglase<br />
from $224.<br />
The metered price is also expected<br />
to jump more than three<br />
times in the next decade to $3.26<br />
per cubic metre by 2034.<br />
Darfield Residents Association<br />
chair Harvey Polglase, who was<br />
not aware of the increase until<br />
told by <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, said the<br />
council had not been transparent.<br />

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>2024</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
MAYOR SAM Broughton is<br />
disappointed the Government is<br />
planning to add another cost to<br />
councils, potentially increasing<br />
rates further.<br />
It comes after Minister of<br />
Housing Chris Bishop revealed<br />
the plan to flood the market with<br />
development opportunities.<br />
The policy,<br />
called Going<br />
for Housing<br />
Growth, will<br />
require tier<br />
one councils,<br />
including<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, to<br />
have 30 years’<br />
of land zoned<br />
for housing,<br />
allow more mixed use of land<br />
so neighbourhoods can also<br />
have businesses such as eateries,<br />
and remove minimum size and<br />
balcony rules for apartments.<br />
While the plan will not increase<br />
this year’s 14.9 per cent<br />
rise any further, it may affect<br />
future years with rates already<br />
set to rise 48 per cent over the<br />
next three years.<br />
Broughton, who is also chair of<br />
Local Government New Zealand,<br />
said councils should have been<br />
involved in the process.<br />
“None of the costs to deliver<br />
this were included in the minister’s<br />
announcement, which<br />
is incredibly disappointing,”<br />
Broughton said.<br />
He said the plan would come<br />
at a cost to ratepayers. What that<br />
cost will be remains unclear.<br />
“Local Government New<br />
Zealand and the sector was not<br />
involved in developing the policy<br />
or the announcements. Had<br />
we been, we would have talked<br />
about the implications of them<br />
and the cost to councils.”<br />
Data from a growth report<br />
commissioned by the council in<br />
2023 showed the district would<br />
need about 32,000 homes in the<br />
next 30 years, which under the<br />
Government’s plan would all<br />
have to be zoned for.<br />
Broughton said the Government<br />
needed to fund its share of<br />
the plan.<br />
“They receive all the financial<br />
benefits of that growth through<br />
income tax and GST take and<br />
councils are responsible for<br />
funding all of the roads, all<br />
of the water and wastewater<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Rezoning for Govt housing<br />
plan could cost ratepayers<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
infrastructure to enable that<br />
development.”<br />
In response to Broughton’s<br />
concerns, Bishop said National<br />
campaigned on delivering the<br />
package.<br />
“National explicitly<br />
campaigned on much of the<br />
package . . . The precise details<br />
of the package including<br />
implementation will be<br />
consulted on as part of the legal<br />
changes, including law changes<br />
and national direction changes<br />
under the RMA.”<br />
Bishop did not say if councils<br />
would be compensated by the<br />
Government for the cost of implementing<br />
the plan.<br />
Broughton also wants to see<br />
more Government investment in<br />
policing, schools and health to<br />
accommodate the growth.<br />
Rolleston Residents Association<br />
chair Mark Alexander said<br />
the plan could see subdivisions<br />
not connected to towns being<br />
built.<br />
“Unplanned urban sprawl<br />
is not the solution to the<br />
housing market. It will mean<br />
councils will have to provide<br />
infrastructure out of sequence<br />
. . . it could be the furthest<br />
subdivision out of town which<br />
gets developed first.”<br />
Alexander said the plan could<br />
see a <strong>Selwyn</strong> ‘city’, comprising<br />
the suburbs of Rolleston,<br />
Lincoln, and Prebbleton, appear.<br />
Bishop did not say what if<br />
any rules would be put in place<br />
to stop subdivisions being<br />
developed out of sequence.<br />

Pipeline under way<br />
THE GROUND has been<br />
broken on a $35.5 million<br />
wastewater pipeline project,<br />
which is expected to be<br />
completed by December 2025.<br />
The pipeline from Leeston will<br />
run along Leeston Rd, Beethams<br />
Rd, Bethels Rd and Swamp Rd,<br />
with an extension along Days<br />
Rd and <strong>Selwyn</strong> Lake Rd.<br />
The project lead contractor is<br />
CORDE. Chief executive David<br />
Wilson said it will be a complicated<br />
project, with two river<br />
crossings along the 24km route,<br />
along with new pump stations<br />
at Ellesmere Wastewater Treatment<br />
Plant and Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Huts.<br />
“It’s an exciting job, a good<br />
challenge with really positive<br />
outcomes for our local communities,”<br />
said Wilson.<br />
Wilson acknowledged there<br />
will be some delays for road users<br />
when the pipe is constructed<br />
in their area.<br />
“Our team will give residents<br />
plenty of warning when they expect<br />
work to start in their road<br />
and we will do our utmost to<br />
minimise the disruption to their<br />
daily movements, especially our<br />
vulnerable residents.”<br />
The council also worked<br />
closely with Te Taumutu<br />
Rūnanga in the planning<br />
process.<br />

First aid training kicked in<br />
• From page 1<br />
Gell found Theewis at the<br />
corner of Caulfield Cres and<br />
Oaks Drive.<br />
“We noticed her dog Bingo<br />
running around close to where<br />
she was and as we walked up the<br />
road a bit more I saw her feet, she<br />
was lying on her back.<br />
“Right away I put on the brakes<br />
on the pram and asked my son to<br />
stay with his sister.”<br />
Gell was a pool and beach<br />
lifeguard in her hometown<br />
of Halifax, Canada, for about<br />
<strong>10</strong> years. When she found<br />
Theewis, her lifesaving training<br />
automatically took over.<br />
“Instinctively those things<br />
kicked in, and I do think it’s<br />
probably because of those<br />
ingrained first aid skills,” she<br />
said.<br />
Gell assessed Theewis, finding<br />
she was breathing but only<br />
just, and decided she needed<br />
immediate medical attention.<br />
She called 911 instead of 111, but<br />
was rerouted to New Zealand<br />
emergency services.<br />
She then put Theewis in the<br />
recovery position, stabilising her<br />
until help arrived.<br />
Off-duty paramedics, who<br />
had received the alert on their<br />
phones, arrived first, followed<br />
soon after by the Lincoln<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade and St<br />
John.<br />
“It was 9.57am when I called<br />
and by <strong>10</strong>.05am they were<br />
arriving, so the response was<br />
quite quick,” Gell said.<br />
She said it was the most serious<br />
situation she’d dealt with.<br />
“I dealt with mostly waterbased<br />
stuff where they always<br />
were conscious,” she said of<br />
being a lifeguard.<br />
Gell coaches girls rugby<br />
at Lincoln High School and<br />
helps at Lincoln Rugby Club.<br />
She previously coached the<br />
Prebbleton women’s team and<br />
played and coached at Lincoln<br />
University.<br />
“I’m still very active in the<br />
coaching space,” she said.<br />
She played rugby for Eastern<br />
Canada and spent two years<br />
with English premiership club<br />
Harlequins.<br />
Theewis said there was little<br />
sign of trouble in the days<br />
prior to her collapse. She had<br />
been to a Pink Floyd experience<br />
concert on Saturday and woke up<br />
LUCKY:<br />
Wilhelmina<br />
Theewis is<br />
grateful for<br />
the care she<br />
received<br />
after she<br />
collapsed<br />
while<br />
walking<br />
her dog.<br />
with leg cramp.<br />
“The next day I thought oh I’ve<br />
got a bit of cramp in one leg . . .<br />
and on the Tuesday morning I<br />
thought that’s not going away<br />
and it’s actually got worse. I<br />
wondered if I could actually walk<br />
the dog and I thought don’t be<br />
silly and ploughed on through.”<br />
Theewis spent a couple of days<br />
in Christchurch Hospital and is<br />
now home resting, and thankful<br />
for those who have helped.<br />
“I can’t speak highly enough<br />
of the St John people . . . the<br />
people at the hospital were<br />
fantastic, they were all so caring<br />
and compassionate, it was just<br />
incredible.”<br />
Theewis works as a relief<br />
teacher at Rolleston College and<br />
will be on leave until next term.<br />
Apart from a large amount<br />
of bruising, she is in relatively<br />
good health. She is now taking<br />
medication to help clear any<br />
remaining blood clots.<br />

Increase in water rates determined in<br />
• From page 1<br />
“That’s a big increase and to<br />
sneak it through. It’s underhanded,”<br />
he said.<br />
Polglase said residents would<br />
not like the increase.<br />
“Most people in our area will<br />
be extremely disappointed to<br />
hear that.”<br />
Polglase was concerned the<br />
council was spending too much<br />
of the ratepayers’ money without<br />
concern.<br />
“They’re obviously treating the<br />
residents as a money pit.”<br />
Rolleston<br />
Residents Association<br />
chair<br />
Mark Alexander<br />
said he personally<br />
thought it<br />
was sneaky of<br />
the council.<br />
“The council<br />
correctly deserves<br />
criticism<br />
Mark<br />
Alexander<br />
that they put a lot of fee increases<br />
in a separate document and<br />
talked about them in passing<br />
but didn’t bring them to people’s<br />
attention.<br />
“That was a little bit sneaky<br />
and when you’re putting out<br />
consultation documents which<br />
are summaries it’s convenient to<br />
miss things like that.”<br />
The increase in water rates was<br />
not published in the <strong>2024</strong>-34<br />
consultation document or any<br />
of the supporting documents for<br />
RISE: Mayor Sam Broughton said because the water rates increase had been decided in the<br />
previous long-term plan, it was not included in the latest consultation. PHOTO: GETTY<br />
the Long-Term Plan.<br />
The only number mentioned<br />
was the water supply fixed target<br />
rate of $370, which is built into<br />
rates bills – but it was not mentioned<br />
that has also increased 20<br />
per cent from $308 last year.<br />
In response, Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton said because the<br />
decision had been made in the<br />
previous long-term plan it was<br />
not included in the latest round<br />
of consultation.<br />
“We’d asked our community<br />
a few years ago (2021) how they<br />
wanted to pay for their water and<br />
whether should it be included<br />
in the value of their property or<br />
metered rates, and people came<br />
back and said it should be metered,”<br />
Broughton said<br />
“We also talked about the rates<br />
the water charges would need<br />
to increase by and I don’t think<br />
there was much change from<br />
that earlier discussion . . . So<br />
that wasn’t seen as a big thing to<br />
have a conversation on, as we’d<br />
already determined it through<br />
previous consultation.<br />
“But hey, if the feedback is all<br />
those sorts of charges need to be<br />
highlighted up front we’ll consider<br />
that at the next long-term plan.”<br />
Alexander was concerned by<br />
the increase in cost.<br />
“By steadily increasing the<br />
cubic metre charge you are managing<br />
your demand.<br />
“If you get people to use less<br />
water wisely, you get the same<br />
(fiscal) result with less water so<br />
you don’t have to put another<br />
well in or enlarge your water<br />
mains.”<br />
Alexander was a councillor in<br />
2021 when it was decided the water<br />
rates would go up by a higher<br />
proportion than the annual fixed<br />
rate. He said while people won’t<br />
be happy with the increase the<br />
water was good value.<br />
“Nobody likes prices going up,<br />
but I think people will accept<br />
costs go up.<br />
“I’m on my own well and it<br />
costs me about $1600 a year<br />
to maintain and makes the<br />
council’s water remarkably good<br />
value.”<br />
At the same time water is<br />

Before 2021, water was 50 cents<br />

Pre-2021, the district’s water<br />

– and too cheap, with council<br />
staff asking for the increases to<br />
pay for maintenance costs and<br />
needed infrastructure.<br />

previous consultation – mayor<br />
The change was one of the “big<br />
decisions” of the 2021-31 Long<br />
Term Plan, with the district<br />
council asking for feedback on<br />
the topic. Of respondents who<br />
submitted on the issue, 47.4<br />
per cent supported raising the<br />
charges more than the rates, with<br />
17.3 per cent wanting the water<br />
rate to go up the same as the<br />
annual fixed rate.<br />
Council executive director<br />
of infrastructure and property<br />
Tim Mason said <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s water<br />
remained one of the cheapest in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
“Water NZ’s last national<br />
report placed <strong>Selwyn</strong> among the<br />
<strong>10</strong> councils with the cheapest<br />
drinking water in the country.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> was also rated as having<br />
some of the newest and most<br />
reliable water infrastructure in<br />
the country,” Mason said.<br />

WHAT PEOPLE ON THE STREET THINK<br />
Phillip Sunderland said the district<br />
council needs to be more responsible<br />
with its financial decisions.<br />
“It’s typical that pretty much every<br />
council, local council and central<br />
government all seem to overspend. I<br />
feel like it’s not that responsible to be<br />
able to live with what you need and<br />
therefore rate increases just seem to be<br />
a natural progression that no one seems<br />
to be able to do anything about.”<br />
Sheela Eyles: “The council should have had brains<br />
and logic applied that some projects should not be<br />
undertaken because I mean, I didn’t get a 14 per cent<br />
pay increase this year, I didn’t get 14 per cent last year.<br />
I’m not going to get it in the next three years. How are<br />
we going to afford to pay that?<br />
“People are struggling now. Everyone is worried<br />
about their mortgages which have already gone up,<br />
and on top of that they’re going to have this rates<br />
increase. It’s going to drive them to the brink.”<br />
Sarah Kirk: “I feel like Rolleston’s<br />
growing so much and you know the<br />
price of everything’s going up, so I feel<br />
like it makes sense. Yeah, it’s not ideal,<br />
but it makes sense.”<br />
Tayler Payton: “They’re increasing them<br />
so often, but I feel like we’re not seeing<br />
Sarah Kirk the results of increases. What are we<br />
getting out of paying more rates? That’s<br />
how I feel about it. We’re not really seeing too many<br />
benefits in my opinion.”<br />

Driver flees<br />
scene after<br />
cyclist hit<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
POLICE ARE investigating an<br />
alleged hit and run after a cyclist<br />
was struck by a white vehicle in<br />
Lincoln.<br />
The female victim’s husband,<br />
who did not want to be identified,<br />
said the woman was left<br />
unharmed but “shaken” when<br />
she was struck from behind while<br />
turning off Lyttelton St on to<br />
North Belt.<br />
The woman said the vehicle fled<br />
the scene in the direction of Lincoln<br />
Primary School after the collision,<br />
about 8.45am on Thursday.<br />
Police said they are at an “assessment<br />
stage to identify lines of<br />
inquiry”.<br />
The bicycle took most of the<br />
force and was crushed on impact,<br />
the woman’s husband said.<br />
After asking for nearby CCTV<br />
footage on Facebook and reporting<br />
the incident to police online,<br />
the husband believed there was<br />
little chance of finding the driver.<br />
“We don’t know where to track<br />
down the assailant, so there’s<br />
probably not much else we can do<br />
about it,” he said.<br />
Police did not respond when<br />
asked by <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> if they had<br />
checked CCTV in the area or if<br />
any suspects had been identified.<br />

Spit site touted as potential<br />
gateway for space ventures<br />
• By Phil Pennington<br />
KAITORETE SPIT is being<br />
considered as a site for multiple<br />
launch pads by a joint venture.<br />
The joint venture running the<br />
project on <strong>10</strong>00ha of the spit<br />
beside shallow Lake Ellesmere<br />
is gauging demand from<br />
international space companies<br />
and asking them what they<br />
need.<br />
International commercial<br />
and military demand has been<br />
growing rapidly since 2020 for<br />
launches of the small and cheap<br />
type of satellite that Kaitorete is<br />
well suited for.<br />
The Tāwhaki National<br />
Aerospace Centre which was set<br />
up four years ago, has recently<br />
opened a small runway and<br />
hangar on the spit.<br />
It told RNZ it had “the<br />
potential to scale up the centre,<br />
working with the appropriate<br />
partners, to cater for multiple<br />
vertical launch sites”.<br />
“We’ve also been talking to<br />
international companies to<br />
understand sector demand<br />
and potential infrastructure<br />
requirements for vertical<br />
launch,” chief executive Linda<br />
Falwasser said by email.<br />
SPACE SPOT: Kaitorete Spit is currently home to a small runway and hangar.<br />
PHOTO: TĀWHAKI NATIONAL AEROSPACE CENTRE<br />
The National Space Agency<br />
said it had funded Tāwhaki to<br />
investigate and “the government<br />
is expecting a business case to<br />
be finalised later in <strong>2024</strong>”.<br />
The spit could fit up to six<br />
launchpads, a report to the<br />
government in 2020, released<br />
under the OIA, advised.<br />
“The maximum possible<br />
number of launch pads is six<br />
micro-small pads or three heavy<br />
launch pads,” it said.<br />
However, it was more likely<br />
to get two or three pads for<br />
launching small or micro-size<br />
rockets under five tonnes each,<br />
depending on how much area<br />
was needed for emergency<br />
debris dispersal (up to 15km,<br />
though Elon Musk’s SpaceX<br />
rockets use much less).<br />
The aim is to get pads that<br />
multiple companies can use,<br />
with the country’s only existing<br />
launch site, at Māhia in Hawke’s<br />
Bay, exclusive to Rocket Lab.<br />
In Brief<br />
SMOKE FILLS HOME<br />
Firefighters opened windows and<br />
used a fan to ventilate a smokefilled<br />
property in Leeston at about<br />
8.30pm on Saturday. It took units<br />
from Leeston and Southbridge<br />
under an hour to ventilate the<br />
Clausen Ave property, and the<br />
homeowners arrived back during<br />
this time. The cause of the smoke<br />
is yet to be determined.<br />
BIG RESPONSE NEEDED<br />
TO TACKLE SHED FIRE<br />
An engineering shed was well<br />
involved by the time units arrived<br />
on Friday. Units from Sheffield,<br />
Springfield and Hororata<br />
responded to the blaze at the<br />
Barrs Rd property in Sheffield<br />
at 3.30am. Sheffield deputy fire<br />
chief Keith Ross said it took four<br />
hours to contain the fire which he<br />
described was about 15x30m. The<br />
cause of the fire is currently under<br />
investigation.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s only dedicated restorative and implant centre<br />
Now with Hygiene as well<br />
There’s a new Hygienist in town! I’m very grateful to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you all. My name is Megan! I’m born in<br />
the UK and qualified as a Dental Hygienist from the University of Essex in 2016 (I’m not a fully fledged ‘Essex Girl’- don’t judge!). I moved<br />
to this beautiful country in 2019 and gained my Permanent Residency in 2023! I had the honour of working with Dr Bower in the city for a<br />
year, and then we both moved on to open our own practices. Now I am very excited to announce that we have again joined forces!<br />
As a Hygienist, I LOVE my role! I selfishly get a real kick out of offering a friendly, anxiety reducing, environment, and want my patients to<br />
have a great experience. It’s important not only for you to feel at ease in the chair, but also for me to give thorough Oral Health Education<br />
to equip you better at home to look after your own oral hygiene (thus reducing dental diseases-bonus!). I have various techniques to help<br />
achieve the best result, in the least uncomfortable way possible.<br />
Book Now either by email: megan@flossoralhygiene.co.nz or directly through the online booking system<br />
https://www.corepractice.is/practices/floss/floss-rolleston/#/<br />
I look forward to meeting you, and to start a wonderful successful Oral Health journey with you!<br />
Dental Hygiene<br />
Supportive periodontal therapy involves a<br />
thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums,<br />
targeting areas that are difficult to reach with<br />
regular brushing and flossing. Specialised<br />
instruments are used to gently remove plaque,<br />
calculus (tartar), and bacteria from the teeth<br />
and gums, promoting gum tissue healing and<br />
reducing inflammation.<br />
Whitening<br />
Our professional teeth whitening treatments<br />
are designed to restore the natural whiteness<br />
of your teeth, enhancing your appearance and<br />
boosting your self-esteem. We utilise BOUTIQUE<br />
Whitening, with custom made trays which are<br />
designed to your teeth. The result is a radiant<br />
smile that you’ll be proud to show off.<br />
Education<br />
Want to book a school visit to provide children<br />
with Oral Health Education? We believe that a<br />
healthy smile starts with proper oral hygiene<br />
habits. We educate young children about the<br />
importance of oral health and equipping them<br />

Planning for the district’s future<br />
As the council gives<br />
the green light to its<br />
<strong>10</strong>-year plan, it’s now<br />
looking <strong>10</strong>0 years into<br />
the future. Reporter<br />
Daniel Alvey unpacks<br />
the Waikirikiri Ki Tua<br />
Future <strong>Selwyn</strong> strategy<br />
and what it means<br />
SHOULD ROLLESTON have<br />
commuter rail? Where to build<br />
intensive housing? What areas<br />
to preserve? How do we plan<br />
for climate change? These are<br />
all questions Waikirikiri Ki Tua<br />
Future <strong>Selwyn</strong> hopes to answer.<br />
Recent census data confirmed<br />
what many already knew –<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population is booming.<br />
It is the fastest-growing district<br />
in the country with 75 per cent<br />
population growth between 2013<br />
and March last year.<br />
By 2050 the population is<br />
forecast to jump to 140,000.<br />
Said Mayor Sam Broughton:<br />
“With this growth comes exciting<br />
challenges. We must now plan<br />
ahead to protect the things that<br />
people treasure about our district<br />
while planning for and managing<br />
this increasing growth. We must<br />
continue to build community<br />
and make sure we create a special<br />
place for ourselves and our future<br />
generations to thrive.”<br />
The strategy is now out for<br />
public consultation until August<br />
4, with full council hearings to<br />
take place before its sign-off.<br />
Council executive director of<br />
development and growth Robert<br />
Love said the strategy, which<br />
has been in the works since<br />
2020, was mostly put together<br />
by council staff and largely<br />
draws on technical information<br />
that already exists or is readily<br />
available.<br />
“It’s been a huge amount of<br />
research to put together the<br />
evidence base and make sure<br />
we were reflecting what we were<br />
hearing from the community,”<br />
Love said.<br />
“We started that in 2020<br />
and we’ve carried on through<br />
bringing together lots of<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY: What would you like to see the council focus on over the next <strong>10</strong>0 years?<br />

technical research and evidence<br />
and feedback through research<br />
often prepared<br />
for other<br />
purposes such<br />
as the District<br />
Plan Review,<br />
long-term plans,<br />
the Greater<br />
Christchurch<br />
Spatial Plan and<br />
the ongoing<br />
work of the<br />
Robert<br />
Love<br />
Canterbury Mayoral Forum on<br />
climate change.”<br />
To date, the council has spent<br />
$174,830 since 2020 getting<br />
the strategy to the public<br />
consultation phase.<br />
Once in place, the strategy will<br />
be relied on by the council to<br />
guide the future direction for the<br />
district. But it will not be set in<br />
stone with the document being<br />
regularly updated.<br />
“The intention is that we can<br />
do live updates to Waikirikiri<br />
Ki Tua Future <strong>Selwyn</strong> as new or<br />
updated information becomes<br />
available, but any big changes<br />
to the strategic direction would<br />
likely need further consultation<br />
as we want this to continue to be<br />
a community-led strategy,” Love<br />
said.<br />
Time to switch car for<br />
bus or train?<br />
Covering an area of 65,600km 2 ,<br />
how people get around the<br />
district is a key part of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
future.<br />
The strategy says without<br />
a significant transformation,<br />
the district will not have the<br />
transport system needed to<br />
support wellbeing.<br />
The strategy points to a<br />
direction of encouraging more<br />
people out of cars and either onto<br />
public transport or walking and<br />
cycling.<br />
It builds on a business case<br />
developed for the Greater<br />
Christchurch Spatial Plan which<br />
points to mass rapid transport<br />
being the way forward. While<br />
the business case focused on rail<br />
links to Christchurch’s outer<br />
suburbs with buses linking<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, the future strategy<br />
points to passenger rail being in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s future as well.<br />
It plans for passenger rail<br />
running through Rolleston north<br />
with connections to Dunsandel<br />
and Darfield that will support<br />
intra-regional passenger rail<br />
extensions, enhanced road-based<br />
public transport and mass rapid<br />
transit routes between Rolleston<br />
and Prebbleton, as well as a<br />
network of road-based public<br />
transport connecting towns and<br />
centres through to the wider<br />
public transport and mass rapid<br />
transit network.<br />
Time to build up?<br />
In the 1970s, Rolleston was<br />
dubbed the “town of the future”<br />
by then-Prime Minister Norman<br />
Kirk. Now it’s on track to be the<br />
district’s first city.<br />
By 2034 it is estimated<br />
Rolleston’s population will be<br />
39,600, only about <strong>10</strong>,000 people<br />
short of the official 50,000 mark<br />
to reach city status.<br />
With growth comes the<br />
problem of housing. The strategy<br />
points to Rolleston having<br />
apartment-style living of three or<br />
more storeys.<br />
“There is little variety in<br />
the housing typologies across<br />
Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> which does<br />
not provide suitable housing<br />
choice at a range of price points,”<br />
the strategy says.<br />
The apartments would not be<br />
limited to Rolleston. Lincoln and<br />
Prebbleton are already zoned for<br />
medium density and will likely<br />
see some level of apartment-style<br />
living, but not the extent of<br />
Rolleston.<br />
Darfield and Leeston are<br />
earmarked as strategic towns and<br />
could see smaller apartments of<br />
up to three storeys built.<br />

while preserving the present<br />
Terrace and duplex housing<br />
could come to smaller towns,<br />
while standalone housing will<br />
likely be the way forward for<br />
recreation towns and small<br />
settlements.<br />
“Growing up is necessary<br />
for Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong>, which<br />
represents a considerable<br />
departure from the status quo.<br />
Intensification provides for<br />
more people to live in the places<br />
where they want to live, improves<br />
housing affordability, broadens the<br />
range of housing choices, increases<br />
access to public transport, jobs,<br />
amenities and services,” the<br />
strategy says.<br />
To make way for the new<br />
growth, the strategy points<br />
to expanding urban areas<br />
into more undeveloped land.<br />
These are known as greenfield<br />
developments.<br />
“Greenfield developments are<br />
capable of achieving our urban<br />
form direction, however, (they)<br />
must represent an efficient use of<br />
land and be at the right scale, mix<br />
and density,” the strategy says.<br />
Climate Change: Time to<br />
choose your path<br />
With more growth comes more<br />
sprawl, and what was once green<br />
farmland may become housing.<br />
This strategy points to four<br />
possible scenarios for the district.<br />
Each scenario represents a<br />
different combination of two key<br />
influences on the future.<br />
Firstly, the rate, amount and<br />
nature of population growth and<br />
secondly the spatial distribution<br />
of that population growth. Other<br />
inputs that are key drivers of<br />
change have been varied to craft a<br />
diverse set of scenarios. Numerous<br />
sources of information, including<br />
place-based research and technical<br />
information have been leveraged<br />
to formulate these scenarios.<br />
Scenario one: High growth<br />
and higher temperature<br />
Decisive action on climate change<br />
has been ineffective, leading to<br />
global temperatures rising 4 degC.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> has become a haven for<br />
internal and external migration.<br />
The district is warmer, facing<br />
GOING UP: To accommodate growth even small settlements may be in line for medium density housing.<br />
increased drought, sea-level rise<br />
and other climate impacts with<br />
increased severity, impact and<br />
frequency.<br />
Flood-prone, low-lying and<br />
coastal communities face major<br />
climate risks forcing a relocation<br />
west. While efforts are made<br />
to improve public and active<br />
transport, private vehicles<br />
dominate as primary transport.<br />
Scenario two:<br />
Growing green<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> continues to experience<br />
high levels of population growth,<br />
primarily from internal migration<br />
and skilled international migrants.<br />
The district’s future is<br />
digital, with new and advanced<br />
technologies transforming and<br />
disrupting how we live, how we get<br />
around, as well as how and where<br />
we work. International efforts<br />
have kept global temperatures to<br />
around 1.5 degC.<br />
Growth is more decentralised<br />
with growth to both the larger<br />
towns of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> as<br />
well as smaller more traditionally<br />
rural towns. There has been<br />
considerable investment in public<br />
and active transport providing<br />
greater connectivity within<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> and beyond.<br />
Scenario three:<br />
Turning the tide<br />
International action on climate<br />
change has been ineffective,<br />
leading to global temperatures<br />
rising more than 4 degC, passing<br />
numerous irreversible tipping<br />
points. <strong>Selwyn</strong> is able to escape<br />
the worst of global food, health<br />
and water insecurity due to its selfsufficiency<br />
and an overall smaller<br />
national population.<br />
The new normal is one of<br />
competition, struggle and<br />
adversity. Growth is increasingly<br />
centralised, with the majority in<br />
cities and major centres. Growth is<br />
modest in Rolleston and Lincoln.<br />
Other towns and settlements<br />
experience little to no growth,<br />
with shrinkage in some areas.<br />
The expectations communities<br />
have for these areas become more<br />
challenging to meet, with less<br />
revenue and higher costs.<br />
Scenario four:<br />
A return to nature<br />
The effects of climate change<br />
are highly evident, with more<br />
frequent, intense and severe<br />
weather events. Communities<br />
are active in conservation,<br />
restoring habitats and ecosystems,<br />
and re-purposing vacant and<br />
underutilised spaces. They are<br />
involved in local food growing<br />
with commercial agriculture<br />
refocusing on local food<br />
production. There are smallscale<br />
micro-renewables and<br />
decentralised energy systems.<br />
Homes are efficient, repair cafes,<br />
tool libraries, and community<br />
swap events are common.<br />
Sustainable transport options are<br />
available and accessible.<br />
New technologies, improved<br />
connectivity, infrastructure and<br />
transportation with a preference<br />
for local and self-sufficient<br />
IMAGE: SDC<br />
living sees people prefer to<br />
live in integrated, connected<br />
communities.<br />
Protecting what we have<br />
Along with the scenarios, the<br />
strategy also points towards<br />
protecting its blue-green network.<br />
Blue elements include rivers,<br />
streams, stormwater drains and<br />
basins, wetlands, freshwater,<br />
and coastal water; while green<br />
elements include trees, parks,<br />
forests, reserves and greenways.<br />
“Our blue-green network is of<br />
immense value to us all, offering<br />
a range of benefits and services<br />
that support our wellbeing,” the<br />
strategy says.<br />
Supporting the protection of<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s natural environment<br />
is the council’s new biodiversity<br />
strategy which points to not only<br />
protecting the district’s current<br />
biodiversity but also expanding it.<br />

SEIZED: Police allege that 50kg of cocaine worth millions of dollars was<br />
imported or attempted to be imported.<br />
Trio jailed for roles in<br />
cocaine import ring<br />
TWO COLOMBIANS – one operating<br />
out of a Hororata farm house – and a New<br />
Zealander have been jailed for their part<br />
in importing millions of dollars of drugs<br />
from Colombia.<br />
Justice Cameron Mander sentenced<br />
Felipe Montoya-Ospina, David Bonilla-<br />
Casanas and Zane Robert Jordan at the<br />
High Court last week, after they admitted<br />
dozens of class A drug importation and<br />
money laundering charges.<br />
The men, aged between 32 and<br />
37, were part of a much larger drug<br />
syndicate responsible for importing and<br />
distributing nearly <strong>10</strong>0kg of cocaine, with<br />
an estimated street value of $45 million.<br />
A global investigation into the syndicate<br />
involved the New Zealand Police’s Organised<br />
Crime Group and the United States<br />
Drug Enforcement Administration, as<br />
well as Spanish and Colombian police.<br />
The court heard that a senior member of<br />
the group, Montoya-Ospina, imported the<br />
drug to his Hororata farmhouse where he<br />
extracted the cocaine and washed it with<br />
acetone.<br />
More than once, Montoya-Ospina took<br />
the cocaine on a bus from Christchurch to<br />
Auckland, where Jordan would wait with<br />
hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.<br />
Jordan then packaged and sold the drug<br />
to users in the community.<br />
Bonilla-Casanas laundered more than<br />
$200,000, helped import cocaine and<br />
received money and cocaine as payment.<br />
He had access to ID cards and passports<br />
that he provided to the syndicate.<br />
Montoya-Ospina was sentenced to<br />
14 years, seven months for importing,<br />
extracting and distributing cocaine<br />
and Bonilla-Casanas to eight years,<br />
two months for money laundering and<br />
forgery.<br />
Jordan was imprisoned for five years,<br />
three months on cocaine supply charges.<br />
More members of the syndicate will be<br />
sentenced later this year.<br />

ISSUES HAVE been raised about chipseal<br />
loss on the Waimakariri Gorge Bridge but<br />
it is not cause for concern, the council says.<br />
The design of the historic bridge includes<br />
joints between the deck plates which is<br />
where some of the loss is happening.<br />
This is normal but the situation is<br />
being monitored during winter, a council<br />
spokesman said.<br />
The bridge was built for road and rail<br />
and opened in 1877. The structure has steel<br />
components that support a deck made of<br />
structural plywood, with a short length of<br />
concrete deck at both ends.<br />
The plywood deck is made up of 47<br />
panels which provide the ability to<br />
accommodate flex at the joints between the<br />
panels. This is normal for a structure of this<br />
nature, the spokesman said.<br />
When the bridge was designed, it<br />
included the application of a special tape<br />
to be placed on the joints between the deck<br />
panels before being surfaced. Bitumen<br />
was then applied with a fabric layer, with<br />
DAMAGE: Chipseal loss on the<br />
Waimakariri Gorge Bridge is being<br />
monitored by the council.<br />
a further two chipseal layers installed to<br />
provide a flexible surface.<br />
Further work will be undertaken on the<br />
joints after winter before the programmed<br />
full reseal in the summer of <strong>2024</strong>/25.<br />
This will provide ongoing protection to<br />
the bridge’s structural plywood deck, the<br />
spokesman said.

Proposed shake-up of the Public<br />
Works Act as the Government looks<br />
to fast track infrastructure projects<br />
AXED: ECan data analysis shows the Route 87 bus between Southbridge<br />
and Lincoln averaged only 19.2 passengers a day during its five year trial.<br />
Uneconomical bus<br />
route consistently<br />
failed to hit targets<br />
After public outrage over<br />
the axing of the Route 87<br />
bus between Lincoln and<br />
Southbridge, Environment<br />
Canterbury’s public transport<br />
general manager Stewart<br />
Gibbon explains the decision<br />
to end the service<br />
WE’VE WORKED closely with the<br />
community to give the trial of Route 87<br />
every opportunity for success since it<br />
began in 2019. This includes amending<br />
the route structure and timetable based<br />
on engagement and feedback, as well as<br />
connecting it with direct services from<br />
Lincoln into Christchurch City.<br />
Since May 2022, Route 87<br />
customers also benefitted from<br />
lower costs through the half-price<br />
fares scheme and subsequent $2<br />
Greater Christchurch flat fare.<br />
Despite the changes, it has<br />
never met its monthly targets of<br />
800 passenger trips to make it an<br />
economically viable service for<br />
ratepayers.<br />
Before making any decisions<br />
about the service, we undertook a<br />
comprehensive data analysis of Route<br />
87’s performance, focusing on evaluating<br />
the service’s effectiveness and customer<br />
engagement.<br />
We understand there is concern that<br />
some passengers who travel on Route 80 to<br />
Lincoln were not counted in our data. Our<br />
passenger data is collected through the tag<br />
on system, with additional transactions<br />
(such as Gold Card users or cash transfers)<br />
entered by the driver.<br />
There is a protocol in place to transfer<br />
data about the number of passengers<br />
who remain on the bus which changes its<br />
route number and continues as Route 87<br />
towards Southbridge.<br />
Further investigation confirms that at<br />
times, passenger numbers for those who<br />
travelled on Route 80 and continued on<br />
Route 87 were not transferred, and this<br />
has now been rectified with the operator.<br />
For the period January 1, 2023 to April<br />
30, <strong>2024</strong> transfer data from Route 80 to<br />
Route 87 is available for 287 days out<br />
of 326. This means 39 days during this<br />
period (12 per cent) have missing evening<br />
trip transfer data.<br />
We identified days with missing Route<br />
87 transfer data (where drivers did not<br />
either ask passengers to rescan or transfer<br />
passenger data manually) and quantified<br />
the impact.<br />
This involved tracking all Metro cards<br />
that made transactions during morning<br />
trips on these days and did not appear<br />
in the evening trips, then adding these<br />
to the evening trip passenger counts. We<br />
also added an estimate for missing<br />
cash ticket transfers. This led to an<br />
additional 129 trips.<br />
After incorporating the<br />
additional transactions during<br />
the period from January 1, 2023<br />
to April 30, <strong>2024</strong>, the total daily<br />
average number of passengers for<br />
the service is 19.2, compared to the<br />
Stewart daily target of 40 passengers.<br />
Gibbon Actual passenger numbers do<br />
not come close to the target for any<br />
month during the period.<br />
Unfortunately, we are not able to<br />
continue the Route 87 bus service, as it is<br />
uneconomical for ratepayers.<br />
Over a long trial period of five years,<br />
there has been an insufficient level of use<br />
of the service by the wider community.<br />
This is in contrast to other trial services<br />
such as Darfield, which started using<br />
the same model and has seen significant<br />
positive engagement and use over a similar<br />
time. We are currently running a doubledecker<br />
bus service to manage demand.<br />
We will continue to work with <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District Council on options for public<br />
transport. We want to again thank those<br />
who used the service over the trial.<br />
In terms of alternative transport options<br />
there is a local community vehicle trust<br />
which may be of some assistance to the<br />
community.<br />
We expect many of our local<br />
readers have been involved with,<br />
or will have seen examples of,<br />
public works projects in action.<br />
Further to our recent articles on<br />
the Public Works Act 1981 (PWA),<br />
we write again on this topic with<br />
an important update to share.<br />
On 18 June the Government<br />
announced that it intends<br />
to modernise the PWA – the<br />
legislation that the Crown<br />
and Local Authorities use to<br />
compulsorily acquire land needed<br />
for infrastructure projects. The<br />
legislation is more than 40 years<br />
old and has not been substantially<br />
amended since 1988. The<br />
Government’s proposed changes<br />
are intended to streamline the<br />
process involved with public<br />
infrastructure projects, thereby<br />
reducing delays in delivery. These<br />
“fast track” amendments will, in<br />
theory, address long-standing<br />
issues related to land acquisition<br />
and compensation that fall under<br />
the PWA.<br />
The Government has proposed<br />
an eight-week review period.<br />
The focus of the review is on<br />
ensuring the legislation is fit for<br />
purpose in realising the Crown’s<br />
ability to undertake public works,<br />
including that the process gives<br />
clarity for landowners impacted<br />
by proposed public works and<br />
stricter timeframes are in place<br />
for negotiations between the<br />
Crown and the landowner. The<br />
overall intention being to expedite<br />
the completion of essential<br />
infrastructure projects such<br />
as roading development and<br />
educational facilities.<br />
The new legislation is intended<br />
to be introduced mid-2025.<br />
It is hoped that the proposed<br />
amendments will improve the<br />
transparency and fairness of the<br />
compensation process and that<br />
landowners receive fair market<br />
value for their properties. The<br />
public will have an opportunity<br />
to provide feedback during the<br />
subsequent select committee<br />
process.<br />
Tavendale and Partners has a<br />
national team of PWA experts<br />
who represent landowners<br />
affected by public works. Our<br />
interest is in ensuring that any<br />
reforms preserve the landowner’s<br />
fundamental rights to a fair<br />
process and to fair compensation.<br />
We will be watching this space<br />
carefully and will provide an<br />
update once the findings of the<br />
review are publicly available.<br />
In the meantime, if your property<br />
is, or may be, the subject of a PWA<br />
requirement we are here to assist<br />
you through the process to reach<br />
fair compensation.<br />

Native planting work<br />
recognised with cup<br />
TE ARA Kākāriki Greenway Canterbury<br />
Trust’s annual celebration marked 20 years<br />
of the group’s achievements in restoring<br />
native habitat in ‘greendot’ sites across the<br />
district.<br />
At the Friends of Te Ara Kākāriki event,<br />
Nicki Shackleton was presented with<br />
the Diana Isaac Cup by Craig Pauling,<br />
Te Ara Kākāriki’s founding trustee and<br />
Rob Kinney, chief executive of the Isaac<br />
Conservation and Wildlife Trust.<br />
The cup is awarded every two years to<br />
a greendot landowner to recognise their<br />
outstanding efforts in planting native<br />
species across the district.<br />
A greendot is an area of native planting<br />
with the purpose of recreating a natural<br />
habitat stepping-stone as part of an<br />
indigenous wildlife corridor.<br />
Shackleton has a lifestyle block near<br />
Lincoln and had a goal to create a place for<br />
people to “come for solace, to listen to the<br />
birds and learn about native plants”.<br />
She started working with Te Ara<br />
Kākāriki volunteers in 2017 and has since<br />
covered nearly 1ha of her property with<br />
native plantings.<br />
Kinney spoke about the Isaac<br />
Conservation and Wildlife Trust’s activities<br />
on 1<strong>10</strong>0ha of rehabilitated quarry land.<br />
They assist conservation through their<br />
captive breeding programme for several<br />
threatened birds like whio (blue duck),<br />
kākāriki karaka (orange fronted parakeet)<br />
and kakī (black stilt).<br />
Speaker Dr Colin Meurk, a botanist<br />
and ecologist with the trust, reflected on<br />
the work of Te Ara Kākāriki to plant the<br />
stepping-stones of habitat.<br />
“Native plantings importantly connect<br />
communities to nature and increase<br />
people’s interaction with wildlife,” Meurk<br />
said.<br />
With less than one per cent of native<br />
vegetation remaining in the district, Meurk<br />
explained that even very small greendots<br />
help protect and restore native plants and<br />
birds.<br />
• Te Ara Kākāriki has four<br />
volunteer greendot planting days<br />
in September and October. If you<br />

Great turnout<br />
for book fair<br />
Malvern Anglican Parish’s annual book fair has been<br />
a resounding success. The fair is held over the first<br />
weekend of the winter school holidays, from Friday<br />
until Monday. Organiser Jill Stevenson said they had<br />
received thousands of donations of books, puzzles<br />
and games from the community. She said the public<br />
turnout was positive. “We’ve had hundreds of people<br />
through, probably about six or seven hundred people<br />
which is pretty good for a community of this size. After<br />
the second day we already broke all our records for the<br />
money taken in.” Stevenson said on Monday the total<br />
amount was yet to be counted. The event was held<br />
in the main building of Trinity Church, which she said<br />
made a big difference to presentation and browsing<br />
experience. The most popular items sold were Wasgij<br />
puzzles and non-fiction books.<br />

Council and HEB Construction<br />
educate students on truck safety<br />
In celebration of Road Safety Week in<br />
May, <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and HEB<br />
Construction visited Springston School to<br />
educate students on truck safety.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council adopts <strong>10</strong>-year plan<br />
Investing in critical infrastructure and preparing<br />
for growth will be <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s main priorities over<br />
the next <strong>10</strong> years, after the Council adopted its<br />
<strong>2024</strong>-34 Long-Term Plan on 3 <strong>July</strong>.<br />
The plan includes an average rates rise for the<br />
<strong>2024</strong>/25 year of 14.9% - slightly lower than the<br />
15.6% the Council had consulted on in April.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton said the Council had worked<br />
hard to reduce the impact on ratepayers as much<br />
as possible, as costs for Council to keep delivering<br />
its services rise.<br />
“More than 82% of our capital spending<br />
programme is being invested in essential transport<br />
and water infrastructure, and we’ve committed<br />
to projects that will support our community’s<br />
continued growth so that we can meet demand in<br />
the years ahead.”<br />
As part of the plan, Council fees and charges have<br />
been set for the year. View these at selwyn.govt.nz/<br />
services/fees-and-charges<br />
The plan was informed by more than 1,500<br />
submissions during consultation. It will be available<br />
on the Council website in the coming month.<br />
HEB Construction brought two trucks and a<br />
digger, allowing students to experience what<br />
it’s like to be a truck or digger driver, what to<br />
do if a footpath is blocked and how to get a<br />

Help shape <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Future<br />
for the next 50-<strong>10</strong>0 years<br />
Now’s your chance to shape the future,<br />
consultation is open on Waikirikiri Ki Tua<br />
Future <strong>Selwyn</strong> and submissions are invited<br />
until 4 August.<br />
It proposes a vision for the district’s future, along<br />
with directions for achieving these outcomes.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton says the project is a<br />
compelling opportunity for the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
to shape how the district should be left for future<br />
generations.<br />
“Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> is a highly sought-after place for<br />
families, businesses, and investment – so much so<br />
that we expect an extra 67,000 people will live here<br />
by 2054.<br />
This means we need a well-planned response to<br />
sustain our people’s vibrant and thriving future.”<br />
The outcomes will guide the Council’s work<br />
programme around housing, infrastructure,<br />
transport, the environment, communities and<br />
the economy.<br />
Consultation is open until 4 August.<br />

Harness racing trainer Katie Cox<br />
determined until the very end<br />
Popular Leeston<br />
harness racing trainer<br />
driver Katie Cox<br />
succumbed to cancer<br />
late last week. Today,<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> pays<br />
tribute to the<br />
34-year-old<br />
“IT IS WITH the heaviest of<br />
broken hearts our loved Katie<br />
passed peacefully away this<br />
morning,” Katie’s mother Wendy<br />
Cox wrote on Facebook.<br />
Cox had started to go downhill<br />
earlier in the week after battling<br />
the rare form of cancer she was<br />
told she had in October last year.<br />
Said Wendy: “The high dose of<br />
steroids she was on to deal with<br />
the toxicity in her lungs showed<br />
a form of pneumonia on Monday<br />
from the blood test and CT scan.<br />
That night she started on strong<br />
antibiotics and knew the next<br />
four days were going to be difficult<br />
to get through.<br />
“As determined as she was,<br />
and being on direct oxygen and<br />
concentrators her lungs struggled<br />
with getting enough oxygen<br />
and she passed away peacefully<br />
this morning.<br />
“She approached cancer and<br />
the myriad of drugs she took to<br />
get through this with determination,<br />
integrity and tenacity.”<br />
Since her diagnosis last year<br />
Cox had massive support from<br />
the harness racing community,<br />
and others. Thanks to a fundraising<br />
effort co-ordinated by<br />
close friend and mental health<br />
advocate Craig Wiggins, more<br />
than $340,000 was raised to<br />
help Cox get the medication she<br />
needed.<br />
“Katie brought us all together<br />
in her journey and it’s important<br />
that we all support each other<br />
and her closest the most,” Wiggins<br />
posted on Facebook.<br />
“We know this is a shock to<br />
you all and the hurt will be deep<br />
CANCER BATTLE: Katie Cox with Spy Da Moment in November. Cox lost her battle with<br />
lung cancer last week.<br />

and the loss you feel real.”<br />
Cox was humbled and<br />
extremely grateful for all that<br />
support. Just three weeks ago<br />
she said: “It’s incredible. I can’t<br />
emphasise enough how grateful<br />
I am for everything, the texts,<br />
the calls. People have been<br />
wonderful.”<br />
Her comments came after<br />
she drove her own horse Spy<br />
Da Moment to win a trial at<br />
Ashburton. At the time she said<br />
her health had taken a turn for<br />
the worse, but she remained<br />
optimistic.<br />
Since news of her death was<br />
made public there has been<br />
an outpouring of sympathy<br />
with many taking to social<br />
media in particular to offer<br />
their condolences.<br />
Many spoke of their sadness<br />
and of Cox’s bravery throughout<br />
the last few months.<br />
“A beautiful soul taken far too<br />
soon,” said one.<br />
Others included: “Katie’s infectious<br />
smile and laughter is how<br />
we will remember her, plus her<br />
amazing horse and handling<br />
skills and passion for hard<br />
work!”<br />
“Such a lovely kind and happy<br />
person gone way too soon.”<br />
“A true fighter.”<br />
In an interview with <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> reporter Daniel Alvey<br />
in November, Cox said she had<br />
thought nothing of a cough she<br />
developed in early September.<br />
It was the middle of winter,<br />
one of the bleakest and wettest<br />
Canterbury had had for some<br />
time.<br />
Cox could count the number<br />
of times she had been to a doctor<br />
on one hand. Training and<br />
driving harness racing horses<br />
had kept her fit and healthy.<br />
But the cough stuck around<br />
and by late September, she had<br />
developed chest pains. She<br />
decided to go to the doctor.<br />
“All it was, was a bit of a<br />
cough, bit of a winter cough, you<br />
know it wasn’t that much. I just<br />
thought I’ll go to the doctor and<br />
get some antibiotics,” Cox said.<br />
“The doctor gave me some<br />
antibiotics and thought it was<br />
most likely a bit of a chest<br />
infection.”<br />
When she returned to the<br />
doctor for a new prescription,<br />
her doctor sent her for a chest<br />
x-ray as a precaution.<br />
Having never smoked or vaped<br />
Cox did not think much of it.<br />
The x-ray did show some<br />
blockage in her lung, but again<br />
she was not worried.<br />
“When it showed my lung<br />
was a bit blocked there was a<br />
possibility it could have just been<br />
a bit of grit or something off the<br />
track.<br />
“It wasn’t until they did the CT<br />
scan and biopsy that we knew it<br />
was cancerous.”<br />
It was about a month between<br />
the first doctor’s visit and the<br />
cancer diagnosis.<br />
Cox, who was reluctant to talk<br />
about the day she found out the<br />
diagnosis, was with her mum<br />
Wendy, and partner, when the<br />
doctor delivered the news that<br />
she had lung cancer.<br />
She still did not believe it as<br />
she was being told.<br />
“We thought they must have<br />
had the wrong person,” Cox said.<br />
Further results showed she<br />
had a genetic mutation known as<br />
Exon 20 – which accounts for up<br />
to approximately one in 30 lung<br />
cancers.<br />
Exon 20 mutations are<br />
resistant to drugs used to treat<br />
other forms of lung cancer.<br />
Wendy said her daughter’s<br />
spirit was “willing” to the<br />
end – and she was even giving<br />
directives about her horse Spy<br />
Da Moment’s training “as she<br />
was entering the ambulance”.<br />
“Katie was so appreciative of<br />
the fantastic support from all<br />
who knew her, and supporters<br />
she hadn’t even met,” she<br />
continued.<br />
Since 2012, Cox had 37<br />
training and <strong>10</strong>8 driving wins<br />
with her biggest moment being<br />
her Group 2 success in 2023<br />
when she trained and drove<br />
It’s Tough to win the Welcome<br />
Stakes at Addington.

McIlroy’s milestone a first for Darfield<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
DARFIELD stalwart Blair<br />
McIlroy is poised to play his<br />
300th division 1 game for the<br />
club this weekend when they<br />
take on West Melton in the final<br />
round of the Coleman Shield.<br />
McIlroy, 40, started playing for<br />
Darfield when he was five. He<br />
made his division 1 debut as an<br />
18-year-old in 2002 while still a<br />
part of the under-19 side.<br />
He will become the first player<br />
from Darfield to reach the 300-<br />
game milestone.<br />
McIlroy said reaching the<br />
milestone had never been a focus.<br />
“It’s pretty surreal, I just take<br />
each game as it comes and now<br />
it’s arrived.”<br />
He says retirement has never<br />
crossed his mind.<br />
“I still enjoy the game and<br />
hanging out with the lads. I’ve<br />
just stuck around because I love<br />
playing for Darfield and all the<br />
lads involved in it.”<br />
The loose forward has<br />
also represented Ellesmere,<br />
Canterbury Country and<br />
Canterbury B, and even played 57<br />
times for Buller in the Heartland<br />
Championship.<br />
“I ran a marathon in a team<br />
over there, and we’re having a<br />
beer afterwards in a pub, and I’m<br />
talking to Josh Bell, who used to<br />
play for Buller back in the day.<br />
“He introduced me to the<br />
VETERAN: Blair McIlroy will play his 300th division 1 game for Darfield this weekend.<br />
PHOTO: RAEWYN KARS<br />
coaches, they came and watched<br />
one game, and then that was it,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I played six seasons there, so<br />
there was a fair bit of travelling<br />
involved, but it was the best<br />
rugby I’ve played, I reckon.<br />
Heartland competition is pretty<br />
special.”<br />
His twin brother Scott is also<br />
a Darfield veteran, making more<br />
than 250 appearances for the<br />
division 1 side. The brothers also<br />
played 15 matches together for<br />
Buller.<br />
“It was pretty cool to play with<br />
your twin brother for 200-odd<br />
games,” he said.<br />
McIlroy could yet add to his<br />
tally this season, with Darfield<br />
currently in fourth place and on<br />
the cusp of making the Coleman<br />
Shield semi-finals.<br />
They can achieve this if they<br />
avoid defeat against West Melton<br />
on Saturday in what is essentially<br />
a quarter-final, with the teams<br />
separated by just one point. A<br />
loss would see them fall to fifth<br />
and miss the playoffs.<br />

Waihora are looking to hold<br />
top spot and secure home<br />
advantage for the finals, which<br />
they will do with a win over<br />
Hornby.<br />
If they lose, they’ll be open to<br />
being overtaken by Prebbleton or<br />
Southbridge, who will play each<br />
other at Southbridge Domain.<br />
The winner will secure a home<br />
semi-final – likely to be a rematch<br />
of this weekend’s clash.<br />
Saturday’s other match sees<br />
Springston host Lincoln, with the<br />
visitors seeking to avoid a winless<br />
campaign.<br />

Will pressure change Razor’s approach?<br />
Bevan Sisson<br />
Rugby matters<br />
DURING MY time coaching at<br />
the Crusaders international high<br />
performance unit based out of<br />
Rugby Park, I would come across<br />
Scott Robertson at different times<br />
and couldn’t help but notice<br />
he had a singular drive and<br />
predetermined plan to get himself<br />
to the top.<br />
That day finally arrived at<br />
Dunedin over the weekend.<br />
Since taking over, he has been<br />
busy finalising his coaching and<br />
management group, getting his<br />
playing roster sorted, choosing<br />
a captain and looking at how he<br />
wants his team to play.<br />
But none of that is the same as<br />
finally walking onto the field and<br />
soaking up the crowd before his<br />
first official game.<br />
Robertson ensured he would<br />
have the best opportunity to start<br />
with a win when he chose an<br />
experienced line-up against an<br />
England team picked with the<br />
future in mind.<br />
Georgian referee Nika<br />
Amashukeli also had a hand,<br />
with captain Scott Barrett even<br />
mentioning he thought they got<br />
the 50/50 calls.<br />
That’s an understatement at<br />
best and Robertson would have<br />
breathed a sigh of relief when<br />
the final penalty was blown for<br />

ARTISTIC SWIMMER Amelia<br />
McConnochie is preparing to<br />
set off for Peru for an historic<br />
competition.<br />
Amelia, 16, is a part of the<br />
first ever New Zealand team to<br />
compete at the biennial World<br />
Aquatics Artistic Swimming<br />
Junior Championships in Lima<br />
next month.<br />
She is the only member of the<br />
team from Canterbury.<br />
“It’s really cool I was able to be<br />
selected for this,” she said.<br />
“I hoped I would be when I<br />
trialled (in January) and I’ve been<br />
training ever since.”<br />
Amelia, who represents the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Artistic Swimming Club,<br />
first started in the sport almost <strong>10</strong><br />
years ago.<br />
While learning to swim at the<br />
Small Strokes Swim School in<br />
Rolleston, Amelia was introduced<br />
to the sport through teacher Joan<br />
Billing.<br />
“My old swim teacher had a<br />
syncro (synchronised swimming)<br />
club,” she said.<br />
She first competed for New<br />
Zealand as a 12-year-old,<br />
and last year attended the<br />
Pan Asia Artistic Swimming<br />
WINNING START: New All Blacks coach Scott Robertson’s outgoing personality means he’s<br />
a favourite with media, but will this continue if losses start to mount? PHOTO: GETTY<br />
a turnover by Tupou Vaa’i that<br />
should have gone England’s way.<br />
When the final whistle blew,<br />
the win ensured Robertson’s<br />
honeymoon period is extended,<br />
and the media love affair will<br />
continue for a few more weeks.<br />
What will be of interest down<br />
the track is how his ongoing<br />
relationship with the mainstream<br />
media continues.<br />
If he is consistently successful,<br />
they will continue to treat him<br />
as if he is William Webb Ellis<br />
reincarnated.<br />
Even if the next England game<br />
doesn’t go the All Blacks’ way,<br />
the commentary will be “it’s a<br />
new coaching group” and “they<br />
have only had the team for two<br />
Championships in Hong Kong.<br />
She came away with two bronze<br />
medals in solo and team events,<br />
competing in the 16-18 years age<br />
category.<br />
Amelia said the experience<br />
will help her when she gets to the<br />
Lima event.<br />
“It’s good to have that<br />
(experience), instead of going<br />
straight into a big international<br />
competition like this one.”<br />
weeks”, which are relevant points,<br />
but a diluted argument given the<br />
experience on the field.<br />
There has been no other All<br />
Blacks coach who has the media<br />
eating out of their hands like<br />
Robertson.<br />
With his outgoing personality<br />
and openness to talk, he is easy for<br />
them to promote.<br />
The question is, will that<br />
continue over the next four<br />
years? If, and when, he comes<br />
under pressure, will he be able to<br />
sustain his easy attitude against<br />
an overseas media that will not be<br />
part of his fan club?<br />
With adversity and pressure,<br />
people will change. Will he be able<br />
to face direct questions about his<br />
‘Good clean swim’ the plan<br />
for Amelia at junior champs<br />
KIWI REP: Amelia McConnochie will make the trip to Lima,<br />
Peru with the New Zealand team for the Artistic Swimming<br />
Junior Championships. PHOTO: CHANTELLE MURRAY<br />
Amelia’s life is devoted to<br />
swimming – she trains “five or<br />
six times a week”, often at the<br />
expense of her social life.<br />
“I think it’ll be worth it in the<br />
end. It can be quite tough.”<br />
She’s not aiming too high for<br />
the competition.<br />
“My coaches really want to get<br />
into finals, but I think it’d just be<br />
nice to do a good clean swim.<br />
“It’s going to be really exciting.”<br />
style, selections and game plan?<br />
Robertson has had the safety<br />
of being a big fish in a very<br />
small pond, with his coaching<br />
success coming in a Super Rugby<br />
competition that was greatly<br />
weakened with the withdrawal of<br />
the South African teams.<br />
He has now left the safety of<br />
the Australasian media pack and<br />
is swimming in an international<br />
ocean that has a different set of<br />
expectations.<br />
The next few weeks will tell us<br />
little as the experienced players he<br />
has picked will rinse and repeat an<br />
already entrenched game plan.<br />
The real test will be in<br />
September when they travel<br />

TWO SELWYN footballers will<br />
represent their heritage at the<br />
Hawaiian International Football<br />
Festival.<br />
Hannah Hoare, 16, and<br />
Ashley McLean, 17, who both<br />
play for <strong>Selwyn</strong> United’s senior<br />
women’s side, will represent<br />
Māori Football Aotearoa’s<br />
under-20s against Hawaii in a<br />
three-match series.<br />
Hannah’s call-up comes after<br />
her recovery from a torn ACL,<br />
which she suffered last year, just<br />
a month before what would have<br />
been her first appearance for the<br />
Māori side.<br />
She has previously represented<br />
South Island Māori U16 and<br />
U18.<br />
Late last year, while still<br />
recovering, Hannah learned she<br />
would be selected to travel with<br />
the team this year.<br />
“I think it drove me to work<br />
harder and put more effort into<br />
it to make sure I was ready,” she<br />
said.<br />
Hannah, who is Ngāi Tahu,<br />
said she’s enjoyed being able<br />
to connect with her heritage<br />
through the team.<br />

limited talent pool but will be well<br />
organised under Joe Schmidt.<br />
Finishing the year with a<br />
Northern Hemisphere tour which<br />
includes England, Ireland France<br />
and Italy, the Italians aside, the<br />
true test will be playing the big<br />
three at home.<br />
I personally hope he is the most<br />
successful coach ever, because<br />
that means the All Blacks are<br />
successful and I want them to<br />
win every game they play. Even<br />
though most countries only judge<br />
success on the World Cup, we<br />
expect a high success rate every<br />
time the All Blacks play.<br />
What growth the All Blacks<br />
have over the next four years will<br />
be the true test of this coaching<br />
group, and how they prove<br />
themselves on the world stage.<br />

“We just look at how special<br />
our whenua is, our land and<br />

lines.”<br />
Hannah is one of the youngest<br />
members of the team, but said<br />
her experience playing senior<br />

since she was 14 would help.<br />

WEA Term 3: Food for Thought<br />
The Canterbury WEA has a long<br />
history of engaging citizens in debate and<br />
discussion about the issues of the day.<br />
Glance at the Term 3 programme and<br />
you will see that this is still very much<br />
alive today. Alongside up-lifting and<br />
enriching workshops in arts, crafts, music<br />
and writing they offer a range of thought<br />
provoking and sometimes challenging<br />
talks and discussions.<br />
Join Margaret Taylor to view then<br />
discuss “The Power of Activism”. Young<br />
Australian climate activists feature in a<br />
documentary that moves beyond critique<br />
of the world’s inaction on climate change.<br />
Instead, it celebrates the example set by<br />
this group of gutsy future-proofers, while<br />
Regular physical activity is key to<br />
wellbeing over the Winter months. Our<br />
Night Class Programme has Pilates<br />
and Yoga (both accredited through the<br />
Community Group Strength and Balance<br />
Programme) and Tai Chi to keep you active<br />
this Winter.<br />
Being creative also keeps us active, think<br />
Music, Watercolour Painting, Stone Carving<br />
or Basket Weaving. Learning a new skill<br />
keeps us active too, why not try Knitting,<br />
Photography or Sign Language?<br />
Eating well is also vital for Winter<br />
wellbeing. We offer a variety of cooking<br />
classes to suit every taste, the perfect way<br />
to bring some fresh variety to your menu.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Home improvement<br />
ideas for winter<br />
Just because the weather restricts<br />
outdoor activities, keep your toolbox<br />
handy! Winter is the perfect time to get<br />
started on those home improvement<br />
projects. You can achieve plenty of<br />
alterations with little effort or needing to go<br />
outside. You may even find contractors are<br />
easier to find during winter. Make the most<br />
of your time indoors-refresh, remodel, or<br />
renovate and enjoy your home’s warmth<br />
and new look.<br />
Interior painting and wallpapering<br />
Wallpapering and painting can be an<br />
easy way to freshen up a room. Don’t<br />
panic about having to freeze, thinking<br />
you will need to have your doors and<br />
windows open to let out the fumes. Use a<br />
dehumidifier to ventilate the area, or use<br />
one of the many paints with low or no<br />
added VOC products. Get a new look by<br />
choosing a different colour scheme or paint<br />
the trims in a different colour for a minor<br />
job. The finish and drying time will depend<br />
on temperature, timing, and moisture. The<br />
recommended temperature for painting<br />
is around 15-16°C, so get the heat pump<br />
running before painting. Wallpapering is<br />
another winter refresh option.<br />
Upgrade Your Lighting<br />
When it’s dull and dark during the long<br />
winter days, it’s the perfect time to replace<br />
dim bulbs in your home. A brighter, more<br />
energy-efficient LED bulb will help make<br />
your rooms brighter and more cheerful<br />
and save money in the long term. Consider<br />
a floor lamp to add more light and style<br />
to your room. Perhaps you could replace<br />
lights and switches with integrated smart<br />
technology.<br />
Upgrade cabinet handles<br />
Here’s something that only takes a<br />
screwdriver and time: Replace kitchen or<br />
bathroom cabinets with new handles for<br />
a low-cost makeover. Make sure your new<br />
handles match the holes of your previous<br />
ones.<br />
Check insulation<br />
Winter is when you’ll know if your house<br />
feels warm and cozy or whether draughts<br />
are finding their way in. Take the time<br />
this winter to check how well your home<br />
is insulated. Have your home evaluated to<br />
check for areas where you’re losing energy<br />
or need insulation topped up or replaced<br />
based on the required R-value. You’ll<br />
benefit from a well-insulated home and<br />
lower power bills. Also, check for cracks<br />
around windows and doors and consider<br />
weatherstripping to prevent draughts.<br />
Upgrade your laundry<br />
Changing your laundry doesn’t need<br />
much work to improve its functionality<br />
and appeal. You could use peel-and-stick<br />
wallpaper, meaning there is no need to<br />
paint, add shelves and bins to store laundry<br />
baskets and detergent and put a countertop<br />
over the washing machine and dryer. This<br />
also provides another area for storage or<br />
folding washing.<br />

GARDENING 33<br />
Hedge your bets with protective plants<br />
Those veggies are<br />
not going to keep<br />
themselves safe, get<br />
yourself some hedges!<br />
Read this guide to find<br />
out how to install these<br />
crucial shields<br />
Vegetables<br />
Hedges can protect vegetable<br />
crops from wind damage but,<br />
because they need regular<br />
clipping, busy gardeners and<br />
those with small patches may<br />
prefer to use windcloth, manuka<br />
scrub or similar.<br />
The ideal shelter hedge is no<br />
more than 1.5m tall. Keep its<br />
base compact by clipping plants<br />
hard from the earliest stages of<br />
growth and keep soil around<br />
them free of weeds.<br />
Lonicera nitida, an evergreen<br />
honeysuckle which is sometimes<br />
sold as ‘box’, is suitable as a<br />
close-growing shelter hedge with<br />
small-leaved, dense growth.<br />
Propagate from cuttings taken<br />
in autumn and winter. Growing<br />
best on moderate to heavy soils,<br />
it has a root system which does<br />
not travel far into neighbouring<br />
plots.<br />
Golden akeake or akiraho<br />
(Olearia paniculata) and<br />
Escallonia (the pink-flowered<br />
form is best) are other hedge<br />
Everything you need<br />
for your garden!<br />
plants suitable for the vegetable<br />
garden. They can be grown from<br />
cuttings, but a headstart will be<br />
achieved if plants two or three<br />
years old are used.<br />
Broad beans and globe or<br />
Jerusalem artichokes will give<br />
temporary shelter to protect<br />
tender crops from strong earlysummer<br />
winds.<br />
Jerusalem artichokes, shallots<br />
and garlic are among the few<br />
crops that can be planted in the<br />
open ground at this time of year.<br />
Provided the soil is not frozen<br />
or waterlogged, these hardy<br />
plants do best when planted now,<br />
coming away quickly in early<br />
spring.<br />
Rhubarb plants that have been<br />
in the same site for several years<br />
can be broken up with a sharp<br />
spade. Replant pieces in heavily<br />
manured, deeply dug soil.<br />
Keep autumn-sown onion<br />
seedlings free from weeds by<br />
lightly hoeing around the rows.<br />
The old practice was to apply soot<br />
to stimulate the young plants, but<br />
this is not now recommended.<br />
Flowers<br />
Even the smallest section should<br />
have some space for a shrub<br />
or two, perhaps an azalea or<br />
rhododendron, a camellia, lilac<br />
or an evergreen native shrub.<br />
Identifying a site’s soil condition<br />
will help determine what will<br />
grow best.<br />
Transforming hard clay or a<br />
rocky, dry slope into an area of<br />
fertile, friable soil is hard work<br />
but there are attractive shrubs<br />
that will grow in poor soils.<br />
There are plants to withstand<br />
salt-laden winds and others that<br />
will grow in locations where<br />
high trees, steep slopes or tall<br />
buildings limit direct sunlight.<br />
Avoid digging holes for shrubs<br />
in the middle of an uncultivated<br />
area. Circles of cultivated ground<br />
surrounded by firm soil collect<br />
rainwater. Dig over a larger<br />
site to surround the spot where<br />
the shrub is to grow, covering<br />
the soil later with groundcover<br />
plants or wood chips.<br />
Add compost, well-rotted<br />
stable manure, leaf mould or<br />
rotted straw to the soil. Let this<br />
settle for a few days or weeks<br />
before planting the shrub.<br />
Always consider how wide and<br />
tall the shrub will grow.<br />
Fruit<br />
Blueberries are one of the most<br />
antioxidant-rich fruits and<br />
their popularity is increasing<br />
worldwide.<br />
The blueberry is native to<br />
the eastern United States and<br />
the fruit has been eaten by<br />
native Americans for centuries,<br />
but it was not until the early<br />
20th century that work was<br />
undertaken on developing largefruited<br />
hybrids. In New Zealand,<br />
efforts started in about 1979 to<br />
breed new cultivars with an eye<br />
to developing an export market.<br />
Blue Magic and Tasty Blue are<br />
among the New Zealand-bred<br />
varieties.<br />
There are three main types of<br />
blueberries: highbush, rabbiteye<br />
(the most heat-tolerant) and<br />
southern highbush.<br />

Cupra Born the EV world’s wild child<br />
VIBRANCY, FLAIR, and<br />
passion are deeply embedded<br />
into the DNA of the Spanish<br />
people, and its only automotive<br />
manufacturer, the Volkswagenowned<br />
Seat, have created an<br />
electric car that is an automotive<br />
expression of those qualities.<br />
It’s the small to mid-size Cupra<br />
Born, out of Seat’s performance<br />
division and sits on Volkswagen’s<br />
impressive MEB platform.<br />
This compact Spanish<br />
dynamo shares this platform<br />
with the Skoda Enyaq and<br />
Volkswagen ID.4 and its smaller<br />
sibling the ID.3.<br />
Of the three models spawned<br />
from the MEB platform, the<br />
Enyaq has been the strongest<br />
seller here, but did have the<br />
benefit of being the first of this<br />
trio to hit our market.<br />
The Cupra Born is the wild<br />
child of the Seat family and<br />
putting the brand on the map<br />
here after years of living in the<br />
shadow of its higher profile<br />
Volkswagen and Skoda siblings.<br />
A fun, affordable, quality<br />
European performance hatch<br />
brimming with personality,<br />
the $74,990 Cupra Born EV is a<br />
genuine X-factor vehicle, without<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
the usual mega price tag. It also<br />
looks the part with LED daytime<br />
running lights with unique<br />
signature, full LED headlights,<br />
and 19-inch Copper Typhoon<br />
alloy wheels and an air intake<br />
with copper frame.<br />
Completing the picture are<br />
aerodynamic side sills, floating<br />
C-pillar and copper Cupra<br />
badging. All this made the test<br />
vehicle a bit of a people magnet<br />
when it was parked up, with<br />
most knowingly nodding their<br />
approval.<br />
Like the Volkswagen ID.4 we<br />
previously road tested, the Cupra<br />
Born first broke cover in 2022.<br />
However, the handbrake was<br />
applied to its arrival here as the<br />
world, including the automotive<br />
one, slowly emerged from the<br />
Covid pandemic.<br />
This included grappling with<br />
supply chain issues that were<br />
also an anchor on car industry<br />
efforts to move up a gear and<br />
meet full order books during the<br />
pandemic. When people couldn’t<br />
travel, many detoured their<br />
travel budget into purchasing a<br />
new car.<br />
Like its cousins the ID.4 and<br />
Enyaq, the Cupra Born stays the<br />
EV distance more convincingly<br />
than several of its peers, with<br />
an achievable real world electric<br />
range of 5<strong>10</strong>km.<br />
The test car had heaps of heft<br />
from a beefy 77kWh battery<br />
and an electric motor producing<br />
150kW of power and 3<strong>10</strong>Nm<br />
of torque. But the Cupra has<br />
E-Boost – a performance trick<br />
that its ID.4 and Enyaq siblings<br />
miss out on. This maximises<br />
acceleration and enhances the<br />
vehicle’s all-round performance.<br />
The vehicle’s standard battery<br />
is good for a healthy 150kW, but<br />
with E-Boost standard on Born<br />
models sold here, that figure<br />
surges to 170kW, enough to<br />
propel the car from 0-<strong>10</strong>0 km/h<br />
in a snappy 6.6 seconds. E-Boost<br />
works its magic for a maximum<br />
of 30 seconds to protect the<br />
battery, but is accessible at any<br />
time, depending on the charge<br />
state of the battery and its<br />
temperature.<br />
There’s a genuine performance<br />
edge to the Born with its rapid<br />
acceleration both off the mark,<br />
and once on the move, and boy<br />
does it move!<br />
With an undeniable energy<br />
and urgency about this electric<br />
power train, it’s one that<br />
performance car enthusiast<br />
drivers are Born to love.<br />
Hardly surprising this vehicle<br />
is quickly building a reputation<br />
as one of the most drivable<br />
Ratings out of <strong>10</strong>: Performance 9; Handling 8; Build Quality<br />
8; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for<br />
money: 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP rating.<br />
Overall points out of <strong>10</strong>: 8.5<br />
compact EVs on the market.<br />
All this exhilaration is<br />
delivered while cocooning the<br />
driver and passengers in silence,<br />
apart from the sensation the car<br />
is covering a lot of ground in a<br />
very short time.<br />
A single-speed automatic<br />
handles all this performance<br />
with ease and efficiency,<br />
ensuring the EV system brings<br />
its ‘A’ game to whatever driving<br />
scenario you find yourself in,<br />
whether planned or unexpected.<br />
The cabin is smaller than both<br />
the ID.4 and Enyaq, with this<br />
pair a better choice if load and<br />
people-carrying capacity are<br />
important.<br />
I didn’t like the chunky<br />
‘A’ pillar with a quarter-light<br />
window which limited driver<br />
forward visibility in the test<br />
vehicle.<br />
More likeable though were<br />
the sports front seats, floating<br />
touchscreen, multi-colour<br />
ambient lighting, dual-zone<br />
climate control air conditioning<br />
and split folding rear seats with<br />
ski hatch.<br />
Keeping you connected is<br />
a 12-inch colour touchscreen<br />
including Bluetooth, 2 USB-C<br />
ports and integrated voice<br />
control wireless phone charger.<br />
The Born is fully kitted out<br />
with the full suite of safety<br />
measures including front assist<br />
with predictive pedestrian and<br />
cyclist protection. Side assist<br />
with rear traffic alert warns the<br />
driver of collisions with other<br />
vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians<br />
and static obstacles. These<br />
are just a snippet of the test<br />
car’s safety package that is too<br />
comprehensive to list.<br />
Having the high-voltage<br />
battery located in the floor<br />
between the axles provides the<br />
almost perfect low centre of<br />
gravity, for optimum agility<br />
and balance that underpins the<br />
Born’s next-level road holding.<br />
The sports suspension has five<br />
different drive modes that can<br />
be tailored to the type of driving<br />
you’re planning<br />
Grip and stability through<br />
even the tightest corners<br />
is masterfully tenacious<br />
and among the best I have<br />
experienced in an EV.<br />
The trade-off is low speed<br />
ride comfort that isn’t that well<br />
cushioned, and suspension<br />
noise, while not overbearing, still<br />
makes it presence heard. Yes, it<br />
can be annoying at times during<br />
in-town driving, but a it’s a<br />
concession I would happily make<br />
in exchange for the Cupra Born’s<br />
sublime handling.<br />

ADVICE for<br />
maintaining<br />
your home<br />
ALL OVER<br />
SELWYN<br />
As most New Zealanders’ homes are<br />
their biggest investments it’s important to<br />
protect them. Good maintenance will:<br />
• Keep your home safe and secure<br />
• Keep you and your family healthy<br />
• Save you money by allowing you to fix<br />
problems before they get bigger<br />
• Protect your financial investment<br />
What’s the best way to<br />
approach maintenance?<br />
Carry out regular preventative<br />
maintenance to prevent some problems<br />
from occurring.<br />
Maintaining your home<br />
Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.<br />
Be prepared for emergencies – know<br />
where and how the water, gas and power<br />
supplies turn off.<br />
DIY or professional?<br />
You need to be realistic about your limits.<br />
It is better to hire a tradesperson and<br />
get the job done properly than to make<br />
costly mistakes. By law, some jobs need<br />
to be done by a professional, such as gas,<br />
plumbing, drainage and some electrical<br />
work. Major maintenance matters.<br />
Moisture<br />
Damp homes are unhealthy and harder<br />
to heat. Combat persistent damp in your<br />
home by:<br />
• Insulating (under the floor, in the<br />
ceiling and walls).<br />
• Ventilating (including extractor fans<br />
in bathrooms and kitchens, opening<br />
windows, using a dehumidifier or forced<br />
ventilation system and keeping vents<br />
clear).<br />
• Heating (aim to keep the indoor<br />
temperature at a minimum of 16C).<br />
• Replacing unflued gas heaters with<br />
electric or flued gas heaters.<br />
