Plea to slow down near school buses
Darfield rugby stalwart dies By Tom Doudney DARFIELD RUGBY has lost one of its most loyal and hard working stalwarts. Craig Miller, 52, died of a suspected heart attack while marking out the lines on the Darfield club’s main field on Friday.
Mr Miller was the club captain at Darfield and a member of the Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union’s management board. He had previously held a variety of positions in his more than 20 years with the Darfield club, including president and committee member.
Ellesmere Rugby chairman Chris Thornley said Mr Miller had played a key role in securing Darfield’s role in hosting the Crusaders and Highlanders preseason match for the Farmlands Cup once every two years. •Turn to p4
By Tom Doudney MOTORISTS ignoring the 20km/h speed limit when passing school buses in Selwyn are frustrating police, bus drivers and the wider public. Legally, vehicles must slow down to 20km/h on both sides of the road when passing buses. Clint Ross, who has been driving a school bus between Burnham and Christchurch for 15 years, said most people ignored the law. “A handful abide, the rest don’t give a damn,” he said. “Kids can just pop out just like that. They just run behind the bus and straight across the road or walk out the door and in front of the bus and straight across the road without even thinking. I’ve seen near misses quite a few times.” Mr Ross’ run travels through Rolleston and takes children to a number of west Christchurch schools with the bus being full on most days.
He had a message for drivers: “Just think, if your children were on this bus and they got off and someone wasn’t abiding by the speed limit and hit your child, how would you feel?” Mr Ross said one of the most frustrating things was that most police cars passing the bus often didn’t slow down either. “That really brasses me off,” he said. “They should know better.” Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said motorists ignoring the 20km/h speed limit when passing school buses was an ongoing problem. “It’s a traffic law that a lot of motorists aren’t familiar with – and should be,” he said. While road safety was of critical importance for everyone, it was especially important that extra care was taken to protect more vulnerable members of society, including children using school buses. •Turn to page 5

News Ellesmere plan not pursued By Tom Doudney RETURNING Te Waihora/ Lake Ellesmere to its pre-1940s condition was not pursued in restoration plans because of the “considerable” social disruption it would involve. The fact that the Central Plains Water scheme, expected to lead to intensification of agriculture in the catchment and a higher nitrogen load, had already been granted resource consent and “this could not be overturned” was also a factor. The Selwyn Te Waihora Tim Davie section of Environment Canterbury’s Land and Water Regional Plan, which became operative last year, seeks to limit the amount of nitrogen reaching the lake to 4800 tonnes per year. Before the 1940s, it is estimated the lake had about 800 tonnes of nitrogen reaching it per year. Since then, the nitrogen load has increased, accompanied by a deterioration in water quality.
NUTRIENT MATTERS: Returning Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere to its pre-1940s condition was not seen as feasible.
An ECan staff report to today’s Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee outlines the background to lake restoration measures as an update to new committee members. The report said that achieving a nitrogen load of 800 tonnes per year would require retirement of intensive agriculture from the lake’s catchment area, along with other lake and catchment interventions.
In agreeing on 4800 tonnes per year as the target, the zone committee had taken into account “the importance of agriculture to the Selwyn district economy and employment with the need to maintain farm financial viability” and that Central Plains Water irrigation “was consented and this could not be overturned” under provisions in the Resource Management Act. Without the nutrient limits set
in the plan, the amount of nitrogen reaching the lake would be an estimated 5600 tonnes per year. The zone implementation programme for Selwyn Te Waihora states that none of the other lake mitigation options being employed were a substitute for nutrient load limits and active management to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus entering the lake. “The lower the nutrient load limits set, the more effective the lake mitigation actions are likely to be and the better the outcomes for the lake. Conversely, the higher the nutrient load, the greater is the reliance on successful lake mitigations and the lesser are the lake outcomes that are possible.” ECan chief scientist Dr Tim Davie said the nitrogen load to the lake would be reduced by one-sixth and that was a large amount. He also said water quality and lake health were not the same thing. “Fishers now are likely to tell you it is very healthy, as healthy as it has been for a very long time. However, water quality is still an issue.”

In Brief EASTER TRADING The district council plans to survey residents in May, as part of its annual residents’ survey, to gather information on people’s views on whether Easter Sunday trading should be allowed. It also plans to seek comments from local businesses. This information would be used to consider whether a policy should be developed to apply from next year onwards. CRASH INJURES SEVEN Seven people were hospitalised after a two-car crash on Christchurch-Akaroa Rd on Thursday. One was taken to hospital with serious injuries, two with moderate injuries and four with minor injuries. St John sent four ambulances and one first response unit to the scene, between Gebbies Valley and Prices Valley, at 4.17pm. They were assisted by fire crews from Little River and Lincoln. A fire communications spokesman said no-one was trapped. HEDGE FIRE Southbridge firefighters extinguished 250m of hedge which had caught fire at a Jollies Rd property near Southbridge on Saturday, about 10pm. The fire had spread from a controlled burn-off which got out of control.

Third bar for Lincoln likely By Tom Doudney LINCOLN COULD soon have its third bar as part of a new shopping development on Vernon Drive. Paul Goodwin, who owns the Monteiths Brewery Bar Merrin St in Christchurch, is looking at opening the new bar as part of the Broadfield Developments project next to Lincoln Challenge. Last week Mr Goodwin said it would be “ a family-style bar” but a number of details were yet to be finalised so he couldn’t say too much at this stage. It was possible it would be another Monteiths bar but that was yet to be decided. Lincoln’s existing bars are the Famous Grouse Hotel, operated by the Lincoln Club, and The Laboratory, operated by Martin and Lisa Bennett. The town has a population of about 6500 but that is projected to grow to about 9400 by 2025. Mr Bennett said he wasn’t too worried about the extra competition because Lincoln was still growing so be believed there could be room for a third bar. “As long as we are all offering a slightly different type of environment and choice of food then that’s all good,” he said.

Annual Plan allows for extra footpaths
HOW IT’S DONE: Tom Blee from Hecton Products demonstrates a sheep handling machine.
BIG RIGS: Visitors take a look at the trucks on display.
Call to slow speed near school buses •From page 1 Senior Sergeant Stills said he would be “extremely disappointed” if any of his officers were indeed not abiding by the 20km/h limit. The topic of drivers ignoring the 20km/h law was raised recently on the Rolleston Community Page on Facebook,
attracting more than 50 comments, and the district council posted a reminder of the law on its own Facebook page last week. In 2014, 14-year-old Thai exchange student Jj Jansom was seriously injured after exiting a school bus and trying to cross State Highway 1 near Rolleston.
The teen was hit by a car and flung 15m. •Bid to reduce crashes, p9 •HAVE YOUR SAY: Were you aware of the 20km/h limit passing school buses? How do you feel about people ignoring it? Send your views to tom.doudney@ starmedia.kiwi
By Tom Doudney AN ADDITIONAL 2.3km of footpaths would be constructed under the draft Annual Plan, filling in missing sections in Selwyn townships. This will add to the 5.2km approved in the previous Annual Plan as part of a programme to improve the district’s footpath. The new proposal would add an extra $347,000 to the cost of the programme with the work to be completed by June 2018. Footpaths included in the programme: •Darfield – Halkett St (between Jackson St and Horndon St). •Doyleston – King St (between Petticoat Lane and Drain Rd); Queen St (between Petticoat Lane and Drain Rd). •Glentunnel – Elizabeth St (between State Highway 77 and Railway Tce); Victoria St (between State Highway 77 and Railway Tce); Union St (between Victoria St and Elizabeth St) Railway Tce (between Victoria St and existing footpath). •Hororata – Hawkins Rd (between Bealey Rd and end of kerb and channel); Hobbs St (between Hororata Rd and
street end). •Leeston – Cunningham St (between Pound Rd and end of footpath). •Rolleston – Brookside Rd (between State Highway 1 and Byron St); Cato Pl (between Kingsley Pl and end of cul-desac). •Sheffield – Wrights Rd (between Mye Lane and the hall); Railway Tce East (between Mye Lane and Queen St); Mye Lane; Curve Rd (between Sheffield School and State Highway 73) •Southbridge – High St (between Southbridge Leeston Rd and McKenzie Ave). •West Melton – West Melton Rd (between north reserve entrance and south reserve entrance). •Consultation on the draft Annual Plan opened yesterday and will close on May 3.

News Vision to enhance Hororata By Tom Doudney COMMUNITY groups in Hororata have united to create a shared vision for what the area’s public spaces should look like in 2030. The Hororata Community Trust, the Hororata Reserve Management Committee, the Hororata Citizens Committee, along with the local playcentre, tennis club, Scout group and rifle group are all part of the new strategic focus group called Go Hororata. Hororata Community Trust projects manager Cindy Driscoll said there had been a lot of ideas floating around the community about future plans for the domain and hall. “All these discussions have been happening in the separate groups so the council actually suggested that we get everyone together and sit round a table and start working together instead of as individual groups on separate projects,” Mrs Driscoll said. She said the trust, which has been the driving force behind the Hororata Highland Games and a number of other local initiatives since the September 2010 earthquake, was expecting

Leads dry up in Lincoln sex attack By Andrew King LEADS IN the hunt for a man who attacked a woman after a Lincoln concert are drying up. A 48-year-old woman was attacked near the bend of West Belt and North Belt after she left the Selwyn Sounds concert on March 4 at 6.30pm. Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Anderson said there is one person out there that could clear the matter up – the offender. “You will have to live the rest of your life looking over your shoulder,” he said. Several people who were wanted to be spoken to by police, including a woman who comforted the victim after the attack, have been spoken to, he said. “There are still a couple of people to speak with, but that is starting to dry up,” he said.

Campaign to reduce crashes
POLICE AND Selwyn District Council are reminding motorists of the importance of checking and checking again before crossing an intersection. In Selwyn, 41 per cent of all crashes occur at intersections. From 2012-2016 a total of 520 crashes occurred at intersections within the district, and of these 225 crashes involved an injury, with 12 fatalities recorded. Nationally, many crashes occur at Pete Stills intersections with 58,170 occurring at intersections around New Zealand over the same time frame. That’s 39 per cent of all crashes. “Police continue to observe motorists that do not stop at stop sign controlled intersections,” Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said. “Far too many people have been killed or seriously injured in Selwyn at intersections.

We won one feature at Ruapuna earlier in the year, we have had a couple of third places in the Southern Midget series after qualifying sort of ninth or 10th and driving through to third. But winning the South Island title is definitely the biggest highlight of the year. Before this year, what was your background in racing? I raced karts from about 12 to 16, had a couple of years off and then I got a TQ (three-quarter midget car). Have you had much success with that?
CHAMPION: Midget and TQ midget racer Jeremy Webb has come a long way since racing karts as a 12-year-old. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
This is the seventh season I have run the TQ, because I’ve been racing both classes this year. With the TQ we have won the South Island title five times and placed second twice. We have won a hell of a lot of races with the TQ. In terms of racing both the TQ and the midget in the same season, is it hard to balance both those things? It is quite hard, we don’t run them on the same night. That was my aim this year, not to run both cars on the same night because it would be too hard to adjust with the speed difference and the way the car handles going from one to the other between races. We went to Auckland and raced four or five times and then nationals in Napier in the TQ and it took
a little bit time to adjust to the midget when we came back. Which of those classes is the faster one? The midgets are quite a bit faster, they are just under 400hp and the TQs are only 140. Aside from switching between the classes, has that been hard in general to get used to the faster racing? Yes, because I have raced TQs for so long, moving into that midget class everything happens a lot faster. When the cars are faster and bigger and harder to slow down, it’s harder to get out of crashes. I still haven’t adapted to it completely yet. You mentioned racing karts from the age of 12, what made you want to get into racing? My father, Dick Webb, he

works for a guy named Steve at Concut and his kids raced karts. Just in the school holidays one year we went out to the track and they let me have a drive. I went pretty good and my old man pretty much brought me a kart a couple of weeks after that. What do you like about racing? Winning, I can’t lie. Did you have any idols in racing growing up? I’ve got a couple of idols. My dad has raced speedway for probably 25 or 30 years. I definitely looked up to him as a kid. He won two New Zealand TQ titles and he won a New Zealand midget car grand prix and he has won South Island TQ and midget titles as well. There is also a guy in Auckland who races called Michael Pickens and his driving
abilities are on another level. Are you catching up to your father now in terms of success in the sport? Yes, he has raced far longer than I have, but he only ever won two South Island TQ titles and I have won five already, I think he only ever won one South Island midget title and I have already one won in one year. He has had a lot of national success at New Zealand titles. He has won two New Zealand TQ titles and has been second a couple of times and third two or three times as well, whereas I probably could have won the last three but didn’t – I got involved in a crash this year when I was probably going to win, last year I was about to be top qualifier and then I got taken out and the year before I was leading and the fuel pump failed, so I have a lot of bad luck at national events. With everything that is in the South Island though I seem to have a lot of luck and am very hard to beat. Do you and your father ever sort of joke about your success against his? Not really. In his workshop, which is quite a long workshop and the wall is lined with his sashes [for top three placings]. There are about 110 of them up there and I am trying to get more than him - I must have about 40 by now. How old are you and do you think you will be racing for a long time? I’m 25 and I have quite a few goals I’d like to achieve so I’ll be racing for quite a while, I think.

the family Is it something you make money out of or something you put money into? The midget car costs probably about $2000 to run a night and we won $1000 for the South Island title. That’s a big meeting to win and it only covered half the costs. A lot of time goes into racing too. This week I have been working on the car every night until about 11pm just getting it ready and then all weekend is taken up by racing. We load up and race on Saturday and then Sunday the day is spent cleaning the car and starting to get it ready for the next meeting. What do you do for a living? I’m a concrete cutter. I had a crash about a year and a half ago and broke a bone in my back, so I’m not on the tools anymore, I’m a site supervisor. Is that the worst crash you’ve had in terms of racing? No, it wasn’t a big crash. I’ve had quite a lot and some big ones as well and it’s the big ones that don’t seem to hurt me. Whereas I’ve had some little ones where I’ve had a headache or something for a couple of weeks. What’s the most memorable crash you’ve been involved in? Probably the biggest one was at Dunedin four seasons ago where I

rolled several times down the front straight. Two seasons ago we built a brand new car and at the very first meeting of the year at Nelson I rode over someone’s wheel, put the car into the fence and did about $12,000 worth of damage – that’s probably the most costly. Does it ever get a bit heated after a race if someone is not happy about something that happened on the track? Yes, I have had a few moments with people who I won’t name. I’ve never been in a punch up or anything. What are your interests outside of racing? Racing is pretty much my life to be honest. I have a six-year-old child son, Romeo, I bought him a kart last year and he races that
when we have time. He races in the cadet class which is between about six and 10 years of age. Maybe you’ll pass your dad’s records one day and then Romeo will come along and pass yours. That would be pretty good, I’d be happy if that happened.
Kirsty Nixon ON THE WING
Born in 1969, Kirsty lives in Auckland with her husband and two children. She has been a full-time artist since 1977. She says “Although it can be such a rewarding, frustrating, joyous, terrifying occupation I can’t imagine not having it in my life.” About her latest exhibition, “It was a natural step for me to introduce our striking native birds to my work. They quietly snuck in without me even thinking about it too much. We often hear the heavy swoop of wood pigeon as they move from branch to branch and I am woken to the melodic call of the Tui most mornings at home and often surprised by their lively dives through the garden. Fantails pick bugs from our path as we walk the dog through the bush near home. And yet we live in a city. We are fortunate
to still have these creatures share our space and enhance our landscape. Up close, their feathers shine with a metallic luminous quality and when painting the whites of their eyes they each develop personalities. Interestingly the birds in this show have mainly been on the wing and it seems to reflect a current state of mind with a sense of escapism and freedom. Colour excites me and the time seemed right to challenge myself with a fresh exciting palette along with my new subject matter. Embracing colour in my new pieces has been a joy and wonderfully liberating.” Kirsty’s latest exhibition named ‘On The Wing’ takes place at Little River Gallery from April 8th until May 3rd.

IT MIGHT not be Broadway, but to us in the senior drama class it’s just as important. The first few rehearsals, starting early February, were rocky at best as we figured out timing for scene transitions and the right melodies for our songs, but as the weeks go on the better the performance as a whole begins to look. Because of its serious nature, Children of the Poor, has challenged and strengthened our skills as actors and we hope to deliver a performance to the degree of professionalism that the script demands.

Albany Porcello in one of the casts, says it’s a powerful play. I would agree, as our play covers serious themes such as child poverty, child prostitution and child abuse. As a class we have learnt a lot about the social context of the play, in the setting of late 19thcentury Dunedin. This has helped us tremendously in developing our characters and it has given us insight about how to act in the right way for this script. Abbie Berry, a chorus member who plays multiple

roles, says that it’s not every day you come across a script of this nature, which is very true, and as a class we have never done anything like this before. Although we studied the style of Brecht last year, which Children of the Poor is inspired by, we have never done something so unnerving and thought-provoking. This is also the first time that we have all worked together on a whole class performance. This has been a refreshing change that keeps us all responsible for the success of

Ellesmere names tennis personality of the year MARK MORRISH has won the Ellesmere Tennis personality of the year trophy for the work he has done for his Tai Tapu club. The annual Ellesmere Tennis sub-association prize-giving and dinner was held recently at the Springston tennis pavilion. For the last few years, Morrish has been captain of the club’s division 1 Saturday and midweek teams. This year he represented Ellesmere in the Browning Shield against other Canterbury
country sub-associations. Meanwhile, the Tai Tapu team were presented with the Ian Jones Memorial Cup at the prize-giving after winning the inaugural combined Canterbury country tennis competition between 11 teams from Ellesmere, Malvern and North Canterbury earlier this year. Morrish also spent time overseeing the construction of new tennis courts and clubrooms at Rhodes Domain last year.

Foster Park hockey turf initiation THE OPENING of a new hockey turf at Rolleston’s Foster Park was celebrated recently with games and demonstrations. The turf is a half field and will be used as a venue for junior Canterbury hockey games featuring new Selwyn-based club Waikirikiri Sport. Players from the new club had the first game of hockey on the turf. A number of drills were set up and Hockey Academy South high performance players put on a demonstration of skill. Mayor Sam Broughton made the opening official by cutting the ribbon. At this stage, the club has more than 100 players registered with 70 per cent of them new to Saturday hockey.

diversity, community and natural beauty characterise West Melton West Melton is a diverse and attractive part of the Selwyn District, with several ‘strings to its bow’. It has long been a centre of harness racing in Canterbury, with some of New Zealand’s best-known and most successful harness racing families living and working in the West Melton area. Take a drive around the countryside and you will not only enjoy the lovely scenery, but you will also find several wineries in the West Melton area, where you can have a relaxing meal and sample the local vintages. If shopping is what you are looking for, then have a browse around the township’s smart new retail complex, which opened in 2016 and offers a range of shops and restaurants. As increasing numbers of people have looked to move west from Christchurch following the 2011 earthquakes, new subdivisions have sprung up across the Selwyn District. These include the Wilfield subdivision in West Melton, which has been developed on land formerly occupied by the Wilfield Sheep Stud.
Residents Association
The West Melton Residents Association
helps keep the community informed and connected. Currently, the association is looking forward to this year’s Anzac Day commemoration. To be held at the West Melton School on April 25, this is the third time the event will be run. The first one was held in 2015. It usually draws 250-300 people from West Melton, who come to commemorate Anzac Day, and the association hopes similar numbers will attend this year. The event starts at 10am with a special ceremony, followed by morning tea. Children from the West Melton School lay poppies around the monument, which was built by a West Melton schoolteacher and caretaker at their own cost, and last year two soldiers from Burnham Military Camp also took part. The residents’ association choose to have their commemoration at 10am so people can attend the dawn service at Burnham and then come to this one, chairman Jeff Waters says. There are also discussions underway about a potential Christmas Parade for the town, Mr Waters says.
keen rugby followers – both players and fans. In addition to the senior and junior grade teams representing the West Melton Rugby Club, girls and boys play rugby at school, and take part in inter-school competition. On Friday, March 17, 10 West Melton School students (Year 4-6) played the curtain-raiser to the Canterbury Crusaders vs. Blues rugby game at AMI Stadium. It was diversity week, so the teams were girls only. “Their performance was enough to rival any boys’ team their age and I’m sure the Blues and Crusaders, who were warming up on the field at the same time, were
taking notes to help improve their own game,” teacher and coach Anna-Kate Kilpatrick said. The schools involved were West Melton, Clearview, West Rolleston and Broadfields. Earlier in the week the four Selwyn teams had the privilege of being invited to watch the Crusaders train at Rugby Park. Each girl received a brightly coloured shoelace to wear in one of their shoes on game day. The Crusaders wore the other shoelace in their game against the Blues. “West Melton played superbly well playing West Rolleston and it is an experience everyone will remember,” Anna-Kate said.

The Easter Egg Hunt starts at 2pm, which should create plenty of excitement as the children search frantically for the eggs. There is a separate area for the under-twos so they don’t get overwhelmed. The event is being organised by Ray White West Melton, and rather than charging entry, they are asking all parents to donate a bag of foil-wrapped Easter eggs for the hunt. These can be dropped off at Ray White, Shop 7, West Melton Village, or to 15 Shepherd Avenue, Preston Downs.
West Melton locals are enjoying their new bar and restaurant, with others also popping in for a drink or meal. The owners wanted Two Fat Possums to be a place where locals could enjoy a quiet drink, dine, or watch sport on the big screen televisions in the bar or sunny sheltered courtyard. The quality long-lasting and tasteful décor, solid wooden tables, comfortable leather and fabric seating, and carpeted restaurant and function room create an environment to linger in; the functional spaces with noise buffers and ceiling fitted modern sound system assisting conversation. The menu too, has extra touches to satisfy most tastes and budgets. The delicious line-up includes platters and starters like Crispy Chicken Wings; many for sharing. There is a good choice of snacks
and mains, from hot soup or Venison Bangers and Mash to Crispy Pork Belly, fish dish options and Fillet or Ribeye steaks from the grill. Many come with vegetables or salad while delicious sides include Duck Fat Potatoes. A favourite is their roast, available every lunch and Sunday evening and people keen on real wood fired oven pizzas will love the tasty combinations (starting at $24). Call in for coffee and dessert such as Vanilla Crème Brulee with poached raspberries, Sticky Date Pudding, Affogato and more. Desserts are just $10 on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. On tap is a wide range of beers, along with craft beers, awesome cocktails and wines with a Cellar List for connoisseurs. With so much choice in a superb setting, you will want to visit Two Fat Possums in West Melton.

Make haste in the garden
PRODUCTIVE: Get your winter vegetables in the garden now.
AUTUMN HAS rolled in bringing shorter days with a definite chill in the air. Leaves will start to turn as we embark on a busy month in the garden. A very ‘fruitful’ time in the garden with late harvest of numerous vegetables such as jerusalem artichokes, beans, beetroot, carrots, corn, cucumber, kumara, leeks, lettuce, onion, potatoes, pumpkin, radishes, silverbeet, spinach and tomatoes. If you haven’t prepared your winter vegetable garden now, then get started. Include plenty of compost and a ‘base’ fertiliser of blood and bone. If possible, raise the earth to be planted to ensure winter veges do not become water logged over wet winter months. Winter veges to plant in April include broad beans, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, onions, peas, radish, spinach, swedes and turnips. In the flower garden, your summer annuals will be winding down. Continue to dead-head plants

gardening without guesswork Question:
Can you please tell me when the best time to plant daffodils is?
Answer: Autumn is a great time to plant daffodils, but you can also plant other bulbs such as tulips and freesias. The end of daylight saving is a great time to plant your bulbs because the ground temperature is generally cooler, which is the ideal environment for bulbs. The key to success is ensuring you have prepared the soil, or have chosen a top quality potting mix like our Patio Plus if you are planting in pots. Bulbs also like blood and bone if they need a nutrient boost. This can be added to the soil. Need more help with how to plant bulbs?

All you need to know about chilling bulbs By Paul Hoek TO CHILL or not to chill. It’s an age-old question and one I get asked every year in the lead-up to spring bulb planting. So what’s the answer? Yes – you may need to chill your spring flowering bulbs, but only tulips and hyacinths. And it’s only essential if you experience fewer than five frosts a winter. But even if you do get enough natural chilling in winter, fridge chilling can still give benefits – taller stems and earlier flowering. Why you need to chill certain bulbs? Tulips and hyacinths are native to areas which experience quite cold winters and they need this cold period for the bulb to complete the development of the flower bud deep inside. Sure signs you should have chilled your bulbs are if they produced unusually short stems or the bulbs failed to flower at all. Done correctly, chilling your tulips and hyacinths will result in perfect spring flowers. Here are my tips for optimal bulb chilling: 1. Don’t start chilling until late March – too early and you’ll stunt the flower bud development.
COLOUR: Tulip ad rem – chilling will complete the development of the flower bud.
2. Use a paper bag. It’s very important the bulbs can breathe and plastic bags cause sweating and rot may develop. 3. Keep the bulbs to the side of the fridge, not at the back where the cooler plate may ice up and damage them, or where condensation may cause mould to develop. 4. Never put bulbs in the freezer! The freezer is too cold and will kill your bulbs. 5. Keep fruit out of the fridge while you’re chilling your bulbs. Ripening fruit releases a gas called ethylene which can cause severe damage to the developing flower bud in the bulb. If you can’t keep
fruit out of the fridge, include an ethylene-absorbing sachet (available on our website) in the bag with the bulb. This will prevent ethylene damage and suppress mould growth (they’re actually really good in the vege compartment too, to make your veges keep longer). Once you’ve chilled your bulbs for around eight weeks it’s time to start planting in mid to late May when soil temperatures are cooler. Before you plant, work the soil with a fork to a depth of 25cm. This is deeper than the bulbs need to be planted but will allow their new roots to easily push further into the soil. Then plant your bulbs around 15cm deep – it’s cooler down there. Once planted give your bulbs a light watering. In cooler parts of New Zealand you can plant tulips and hyacinths successfully in pots, but because pots warm up so quickly, even in winter, I don’t recommend them for warmer areas. Apply a bulb fertiliser (available from your local garden centre) once the shoots emerge, water well and you can expect your bulbs to put on a spectacular CREATION: Hyacinth purple sensation – will flower perfectly if show come spring. chilled.

Annual Plan 2017/18 SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL
CONSULTATION SUMMARY
Have your say on our plans for the coming year Selwyn District Council’s Consultation Document for the Annual Plan 2017/18 is now available. It covers our plans for the next year and highlights any significant changes from what we proposed for this period in our Long-Term Plan for 2015-2025. This feature summarises the key proposals in the Consultation Document. We welcome your comments - see ‘Have Your Say’ for information on making a submission. Submissions are open until 5pm on Wednesday 3 May 2017.
Proposals for consultation District-wide rate for stormwater We are proposing to introduce a standard stormwater rate of $85 per property in areas where the Council manages stormwater. This proposal would bring the stormwater network in line with our water and wastewater network where a standard district-wide rate operates for properties connected to Council supplies. This change would result in some townships paying less, while others may pay a little more for stormwater.
Extending our footpath network Last year we began sealing more footpaths to add missing links in out footpath network. In 2017/18 we are proposing to carry out more footpath extension work, and by June 2018 we plan to seal sections of 19 footpaths which will total 2.3km of new footpaths. This would cost an extra $347,000 from general rates. For a typical household this would represent a one-off rates increase of around $14.
New footpath in Lincoln
Longer opening hours at libraries and service centres We are planning to trial having libraries open on Sundays and to alter weekday hours to make it easier for people to use library services. We are also proposing that service centre functions be available from 10am-1pm on Saturdays at Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln Libraries as part of this trial. These changes would add $10 per property to the Library rate.
Planning for new pool space An Aquatic Facilities Plan review recently identified that more pool space was needed at Selwyn Aquatic Centre, especially for the swim school and lane and leisure swimming. A new multi-use pool is being considered, along with space for a Learn to Swim office. The pool could be used for swim and aquafitness classes and by casual swimmers and would help to free up more lanes of the main pool for casual swimmers. A provisional budget of $250,000 has been included in our Annual Plan to enable feasibility, planning and design work to be undertaken. This would be funded from the swimming pools targeted rate (with no increase in this rate for 2017/18). The construction of new pool facilities is likely to require an increase in the swimming pool targeted rate - a budget for this would be included in our Long-Term Plan 2018-2028 for consultation.
Storytime at Lincoln Library
New Health Hub We are proposing to establish a Health Hub in Rolleston to improve access to health and social services. Research indicates that although Selwyn residents generally have access to health care, there are some gaps in services. We are proposing to build a Health Hub which is independently managed, and lease the space to a combination of health professionals, not-for-profit groups, social service agencies and commercial office space. The project would be an investment, funded from existing budgets, with no impact on rates.
Continued investment in roading We are proposing to retain the $60 targeted roading rate, introduced in 2014, to provide extra funding for road maintenance. In 2017/18 an additional 3.6km of road reconstruction is proposed.
Learning to swim at Selwyn Aquatic Centre
Rates movements We are proposing a number of rate changes for the 2017/18 year. The average rate increase is 4.5%, however the changes for individual properties will vary. The main rate changes are: · · · ·
the introduction of a standard district-wide rate for stormwater (in areas where we manage stormwater) a 6% increase in the general rate portion of rates bills – equal to about $39 for a typical household a $10 increase to the Library Rate from $180 to $190 to fund a trial of longer opening hours an increase the district water rate of around $21 per household
Some other changes as well as changes to existing fees and charges and development contributions are also proposed.

Keeping you informed We expect to make good progress in 2017/18 on key projects that have previously been approved, including the following:
New community facilities
Accelerating Foster Park’s development
New community facilities are planned at West Melton and Tai Tapu, while the new Dunsandel Community Centre is already well under way. We have increased the level of Council grant these facilities will receive to fund the shortfall that exists between the amount other grants and fundraising can provide, and a level of targeted rate that is affordable for local communities. $4.8 million in Council grant funding (total) is being provided to support these new facilities.
Local sports groups have been growing rapidly. Due to this expansion, the Council now needs to provide more sports field space. Next year we are proposing to bring forward the development of nine sports fields, new changing rooms and storage facilities, install new shared paths and develop two new car parks. Most of this cost will be met from development contributions and reallocating an existing budget with some contribution from the Rolleston Recreation Reserves targeted rate.
Seismic strengthening community halls
Selwyn Library/Community space
We will undertake earthquake strengthening at Sheffield, Ladbrooks and Springston Halls this financial year. We want to complete this work soon to improve the safety of these community facilities for building users. $1.25 million is needed from general funds to complete this work.
As part of the Rolleston town centre development we are planning to develop a flexible, multi-use library, learning, technology and community space. It is envisaged that the facility would provide room for reading, research and Internet use, as well as meeting rooms, a technology suite and spaces for children, youth and older adults. In 2017/18 we are planning to undertake detailed planning and design work and seek community input on the new complex.

Celebrate Selwyn’s newest shopping precinct
New South Point shopping centre opens at Faringdon The recently opened South Point gives Faringdon locals their own shopping precinct. Developed by local sisters Jo Southen and Tania Croucher, and their UK based sister Bridget Foster, the aim was to provide an intimate quality shopping centre and there has been strong uptake for the 1,000 square metres of floor space with almost full occupancy already. Faringdon residents now have a bar and restaurants within walking distance. They are also close for people in the wider Rolleston area. The Pedal Pushers have a proven formula that includes great décor, a fabulous menu of snacks, lunches and dinners, and good beers. There is also English ‘Chippie’, Hooked Fish & Chips, while flavoursome and spicy Indian cuisine will be available at A Pocket Full of Spices for lunch, dinner or takeaways. The opening of Faringdon Convenience Store and Post Shop will also be welcomed bringing a second postal centre to Rolleston. The Selwyn School of Dance is based upstairs at South Point and the boutique store, New Order Clothing and Accessories that carries recognised label garments and
accessories for both men and women, is on the ground level. South Point’s innovative design differs from many other retail precincts. It has a central point, is attractive from all four road frontages and has a real mix of retail offerings. South Point is at 55 Faringdon Boulevard. Their Facebook page is: South Point Rolleston and contact details are: jo@fostercommercial.co.nz or Jo on 021 244 4489.

Dance school moves into new precinct Established in 2009, the Selwyn School of dance at last has a home of its own – in the new South Point precinct in Faringdon. Over the last seven or eight years, the school has been teaching at places such as schools and community centres, says director and founder of the school, Emma Body. “Now we have a permanent place at South Point in a large, purpose-built space.” The school teaches a range of dance types including classical ballet, contemporary dance, hip hop, jazz and musical theatre, with the students ranging in age from preschoolers to adults. The four teachers, including Emma, who is a former dancer, are all qualified dance teachers. The students enroll term by term, and the ballet students undertake international exams set by the Royal
Academy of Dance once a year. For modern dance, the exams are set by the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance, with the students also examined once a year. For adults, there are also casual classes, which people attend to keep fit, or just for the enjoyment of ballet. Conditioning programmes used to complement the classes are based on the New York City Ballet workout programme and the Progressing Ballet Technique. The Selwyn School of Dance also has a hip hop elite performance crew, which performs for charitable events. “We also put on an annual dance show at Burnside High,” Emma says. To enquire about classes at the Selwyn School of Dance, contact Emma Body, email info@selwynschoolofdance.co.nz

Subdivision offers attractive lifestyle The development of the Faringdon subdivision in Rolleston by Hughes Developments has seen the establishment of 1200 sections in stages 1-17 of the project, the majority of which have been sold. The project was launched four years ago, when Hughes Developments bought 80 hectares of land from Annette and David Foster, the company’s head of marketing Bruce Harvey says. The attractive subdivision features wide tree-lined streets and fully serviced building sections with plenty of green space, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Located on the Lincoln side of Rolleston, it is close to a number of amenities including the recently opened Rolleston High School, the Clearview Primary School, Foster Park, and is within walking distance of the aquatic centre. “We have also seen our own primary school, Lemonwood Grove, opened within the subdivision,” Mr Harvey says. Adding to the residents’ facilities is the new retail development in the heart of Faringdon, which is about to be officially opened. Called South Point, it comprises a range of businesses, including the Pedal Pusher Café Bar, clothing, an Indian restaurant, takeaway boutique fish and chips, a men’s hairdresser, a convenience store and a dance school.
“This is a beautiful shopping precinct, where the businesses will benefit from a captive market,” Mr Harvey says. Stages 17-19 of Faringdon, with around 250 sections, are now being developed. As with the first stages, they include a range of small, medium and large sections, with house and land packages available and a second pre-school. A small Christchurch, family-owned company, Hughes Developments has some 30 years’ experience in residential subdivision development. Among the subdivisions it has designed and developed are Northwood in Christchurch, and Gainsborough and Halkett Grove in West Melton. It also has developments in Kaikoura and Auckland.
“Something to shout about!” We are really chuffed to announce the release of Stage 19 with affordable sections in a range of sizes with loads of personality. The demand for our fabulous community is profound and every week we have things to shout about like new schools, a retail precinct being built, an incredible new show home village on the way it’s no wonder so many people are choosing Faringdon for their new home.

West Melton will be fielding a Div 1 and Div2 team in the senior competition this year. The Div 1 team is being coached and managed by the successful previous colts coaching combination of Brett Holland and Nick Dierck, and managed by Eddie Howard and Barry Alfeld. The players have been put through their paces pre-season with a weekly session taken by West Melton personal trainer Karen Hulstons. The Div 1 team will be a fairly young side but also has a couple of new faces in the team, and some seasoned players from the last few years. It was pleasing to see Sam Dickson coming back from injury to have a couple of games in the Blue and Gold, the first in five years, before heading of to All Black Sevens duty. The Div2 team this year is mainly the players returning from year’s the Div 3 team along with the addition of some colts players. A group of this team decided last year to enter the Rugger Fest in Aspen Colorado, so have fundraised and will be off to the US in September. West Melton will also be represented in the u11.5, u13 and u14.5 grades. There is also a combined u16 team with DunsandelIrwell and Leeston clubs. Our numbers in the JAB non competitive grades continue to be srong with 3x under 6, 4x under 7, 2x under 8, 2x under 9 and 3x under 10 teams. Club Day 6 May

The year started off with a real highlight for the Darfield RFC when it hosted the Crusaders versus Highlanders pre-season match at its home ground in February. “That was really something else for us,” says president James Scollay. “It was just massive.” There is a renewed energy in the club this year as new coaches Merv Todd and Alex Robertson take over the coaching of the Div 1 side. It has the club feeling optimistic. “I think they’ll be right up there. I’m not saying they’ll win, although we’d love that, but they’ll mix it with the best of them this year.” The club is also sporting a Div 2 and Colts teams and is pleased to announce that its
u18 side is full of Darfield players. “For the first time in years we’ve been able to turn out our own u18 team rather than having a combined team with another club.” The u13 and u11 ½ teams will be competing as Malvern Combined teams but the junior programme is again looking strong with representation in all junior grades including a full girls’ team which is happily playing in the boys’ competition. Club Day 13 May
Southbridge
The Southbridge RFC had a great start to the after plucking the Coleman Shield from Lincoln in the first game of the season. This year the Div 1 side, coached by Mike Rowe and Doug Maginness, sees many of last year’s players return. “We’ve pretty much got the same squad,” says Club manager Chris McMillan. “We’ve lost a couple of guys – one is playing in the metro competition and one is out with an injury for the whole season. We also have five new players.” The club also boasts a Div 2 team made up of experienced players combined with
a number of colts players. “We think it;s more beneficial for these (colts) players as it’s a better grade.” Junior rugby is well catered for at Southbridge with all age groups represented. Some age group areas are playing in combined teams with Southbridge and Leeston players to ensure all can still participate in the sport. The club gratefully acknowledges the support of all its sponsors, especially principal sponsor Nairn Electrical. Club Day 13 May

The women’s team, coached by Shane Prendergas and Gretchen McGuire, is similar to last year and contains many younger players, which bodes well for the future of the team this club. The JAB teams are looking fantastic this year with teams in all the new grades starting with an u6 Rippa team through to u10. The new grades have stretched the club’s non- competitive grades however the support from Leeston and Southbridge, ensuring kids are playing the sport they love. In the competitive grades there is an u11 ½ combined Dunsandel/Southbridge team, an u13 team, an u16 team combined with Leeston and West Melton under the new name of “United Plains” and the u18 team is playing alongside the Darfield club this season. Major construction continues at the Dunsandel grounds, with the Dunsandel Community Centre nearing completion. This will cause some access and parking issues for players and supporters but is
This year heralds the start of a new era for the Lincoln Rugby Football Club. Two experienced players, Dayle Eathone and Matt Lowe, have now transitioned to become coaches of the Division 1 team. Both have played senior rugby for Lincoln for many years and together with Randell Townsend as Manager, the team is primed for action. They are supported by some very experienced top level coaches to mentor them in what we hope will be their first year of many, leading a champion Lincoln side. “Rest assured our supporters will see a new and exciting form of rugby in the 2017 season,” says club secretary Natalie Townsend. The progression of local players continuing to progress towards the senior club, is also an exciting aspect of the 2017 season. “There is a core stream of young men who are now entering into the under-18 and colts levels and with the talented coaches at these levels, Lincoln is sure to have a continued supply of good local talent into the senior ranks for many years to come.” The Division 2 side is led by coaches Kris Partridge and Ora John. Ora joins the coaching team from a distinguished playing career as an openside flanker for Counties Manukau, coupled with Kris who himself has played to a very high provincial level strengthens the senior club. In the senior competition Lincoln will be represented in the Division 1 and 2 grades
a small price to pay for the new facility that the club will have access to in the future. BDI will play half of their home games at Burnham, which gives the club huge flexibility with ground options and facilities. The BDI senior club welcomes all new players and supporters and appreciate the involvement and support of all their sponsors and supporters, particularly our naming right sponsor, Synlait. Club Day 20 May at Dunsandel
along with two teams in the colts. There are 12 junior teams starting from under-6 through to the combined under-18 side. The club is also looking to develop its amenities further this year as well. Members will be building a covered area outside the clubrooms to ensure more rain-free viewing areas. Lincoln members always look forward to hosting the Ellesmere finals day for all grades. “We are well versed in providing good food and viewing pleasure to many players and spectators. Lincoln’s elevated viewing areas on Field 1 and tiered seating means watching multiple games from several vantage points provides for an entertaining day out.” Club Day 29 April

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things around us Hoverflies are a little like miniature hummingbirds as they hover above flowers, randomly darting from one flower to the next while inspecting the food resources. New Zealand doesn’t have hummingbirds but we do have several hoverfly species. One of the most commonNEWis LOCATION the smallADVERT.pdf (8mm-long) native species
called melanostoma fasciatum and it is a useful visitor to your garden. It can be identified by the two rows of yellow patterns on its abdomen. The adult of this species is an efficient pollinator, while its larva, called a syrphid, eat aphids, mealybugs and the young caterpillars of pests including the white butterfly and diamondback moth. The syrphids have no legs and, moving with a seal-like gait, they hunt down their prey which they suck dry using their piercing mouthparts. Hoverflies feed on pollen and nectar from a large variety of species. Research at Lincoln University identified 39 pollen types eaten by hoverflies, with dock, plantain, chickweed, fathen, dandelion and wind-blown grass pollens being commonly found in their gut. The research also found that this species goes through two generations per year, which is useful for keeping on top of pests 1 1/05/2014 such as aphids. 11:51:35 a.m. Experiments using

a variety of coloured containers revealed that hoverflies are most attracted to yellow, followed by white. To attract these beneficial critters, plant a variety of species, such as senecio, coriander, alyssum, buckwheat, veronicas (hebes) or phacelia, in your garden. This will increase the hoverfly population to biologically control your pests.

THE SIDE-BY-SIDE THAT’S MADE OF STEEL!

Synlait Milk (NZX: SML; ASX: SM1) has reported a half-year net profit after tax (NPAT) of $10.6 million for the six months ending January 31, 2017. Synlait’s chairman, Graeme Milne, said the company had made good progress towards its strategy in the first half (H1 FY17) of the financial year ending July 31, 2017. “Strong sales growth has driven an improvement in our earnings for H1 FY17. Our gross margin is $43.7 million, $2.0 million higher than in H1 FY16, mainly due to higher volumes of canned infant formula,” Mr Milne said. He said increased investment in people and business development had largely offset the increase in earnings. “As we have prepared for our next phase of growth, we have built our team and balance sheet strength.” Synlait has appointed four new members to its senior leadership team in H1 FY17. The company has also decreased net debt from $292 million to $147 million, driven by operational cash flow and the $97.6 million of new equity raised from its rights issue in October 2016. Managing director and CEO John Penno, said Synlait remained confident with its infant formula business and the evolving regulatory environment in China. “We have seen our infant formula business return to strong growth since 31 January and expect this to continue into FY18. We believe this will generate a modest profit improvement on our FY16 result.” Investment in a second wet mix facility is underway to double the infant formula base powder capacity of Synlait’s Dunsandel site to 80,000 metric tonnes (MT) by November 2017. “At the same time we’re investing in our established infant formula business, we’re also looking for new areas of high margin business to develop. “Building our team and balance sheet has put us in a robust position to execute these new opportunities as they’re identified,” Mr Penno said. Global dairy commodity prices remain Synlait chairman Graeme Milne, left, volatile and Synlait was closely monitoring and managing director and CEO the global dairy market, he said. John Penno

Zone manager passionate about the environment Selwyn Waihora zone manager Michaela Rees started the job just over a year ago and she is excited about what her second year holds. “I really want to be able to showcase the work that is being done in our zone – and not just by Environment Canterbury, but other organisations as well. “Close to 400 farmers already have an action plan for improving the impact their farm has on the environment and we’ve contributed $70,000 towards biodiversity projects in the past year. “We’ve also been working closely with high country farmers to preserve areas with significant natural value. We’re all in this together,” she said. It is an attitude she has maintained since taking on the Selwyn-based position, which was established as part of a move by Environment Canterbury to implement on-the-ground actions to achieve the community’s goals for water management. Michaela’s passion for the environment, and for Canterbury in particular, began when growing up on the outskirts of Kaiapoi. “I love being in the outdoors. Just the openness of it all – the imagination. As a kid, you could go anywhere. You’d wake up and it was like what could you explore on the farm that day?.” But working in the environment was
not something she pursued. She began her working life as a full-time lifeguard and swim coach at Rangiora and Kaiapoi pools before starting her own events management business. “I did that for a couple of years, then I realised I really couldn’t work by myself – I needed to be in a team atmosphere. I just thought I needed to be in a job with people otherwise I’ll go crazy by myself. That’s the hard thing about having your own business.” But as fate would have it, her dream job was just around the corner. “I was having morning tea one day with some friends, and I said to them ‘I think I’m going to get out of this’ and they said ‘Well what’s your dream job? And I said ‘Working for a sports organisation in Christchurch – but that does not exist’. “But then I went home and looked on SEEK and saw New Zealand Cricket were hiring for an event manager in Christchurch. I couldn’t believe it. I applied for it and got that. That was like a dream to me at that point – bringing sports and what I was good at, and interested in, together.” Michaela worked as the events and hospitality manager for New Zealand Cricket for four years. During that time, she was also contracted out to the International Cricket Council (ICC) for stints in both India and Sri Lanka.
“I really did think I’m going to be a ‘lifer’ [at New Zealand Cricket] because I really loved it.” She moved to Melbourne to work for the ICC as their lead for the Cricket World Cup 2015, but missed home. “I love living in Christchurch and being in Canterbury and I really think the outdoorsy stuff is just so easy here and I Michaela Rees lending a hand at the Te Ara Kakariki plant-out last year. had really missed all that. “Looking for jobs. I wanted to do Resource Management Consultants something different. “Environment Canterbury was looking at these zone manager roles in a very different Resource Consents way. There’s a lot of technical knowledge - Groundwater - Surface Water already in the organisation, but they were - Effluent Discharge - Effluent Storage now thinking about how to get people in - Gravel Extraction - Consents Compliance who can look at things differently.” And so far, the position is working out well. “I’m passionate about the Selwyn Waihora zone and for us as a team to get in there and get stuff done. Ideally I’ll stay involved as long as I’m allowed. • Advocacy • Feasibility “It doesn’t matter how long you’re • Aquifer Testing • Flow Monitoring involved, as long as when you’re involved, • Due Diligence • Farm Environment Plans you’re passionate about it and trying to make a change.” To contact your zone committee or local zone team members, phone 0800 324 636. 92 Williams St, Kaiapoi.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections in the Selwyn District
The growth of preschools in the district The number of new early childcare centres opening their doors for the first time is one indication of the district’s rapid growth. With almost fifty early childcare centres operating in Selwyn, parents have plenty of choice. They include play centres, kindergartens, preschools and home based care options such as Annies Nannies, Barnardos Kidstart, PORSE and Selwyn Kids. Before and after school care programmes are also available, along with holiday programmes for school-aged children, from providers Busy Bumbles, CASPA and Papa Jacks. Rolleston has the most early childcare centres with Lincoln, a close second, where eight providers cater for perhaps a wider ethnic diversity, due to the university being situated there. Rolleston’s newest early childcare facility opened in February. Blossoms Educare is located opposite West Rolleston School, making it handy for families living in the southern zones of the town. The high number of centres spread throughout Rolleston reinforces the opinion that this is a town for young
families; having facilities that support them and make it easier for households where both parents are in paid employment. Across the district, the ability for parents to choose in-home care or placing their child in an early childcare centre, as well as the access to before and after school programmes, allows mothers to work outside the home. This also assists them in maintaining a career, or studying towards a future qualification that will benefit their working life, the family as a whole, and the wider community. A high quality of education is provided by the various centres and homebased providers in the area and good Education Review Office (ERO) ratings are not uncommon. An example is The Cats Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery in Rolleston. They were very well placed at their last review – recognised for promoting positive learning outcomes for their children. The centre was put on a four year review cycle, the longest period that can be allocated to an early childcare facility. The Ministry of Education’s early childhood curriculum policy statement,
Te Whāriki is the basis for early childcare learning. Te Whāriki reinforces learning partnerships by taking account of the part a child’s teacher, parents and family play in their world. Some centres follow the Reggio Emilia or Montessori philosophy. Regardless of the approach, family and the wider community are usually emphasised. Montessori centres work to build strong children who are able to take responsibility, accept diversity and show respect for others while possessing skills to interact well with people in their environment. The Reggio Emilia philosophy is also one of support and respect with art, drama, and play, key to creating an enriching environment that leads to the children becoming independent learners. All three early childhood educational philosophies are on offer in Selwyn. With a good choice of preschool care and education in the district, parents can choose a philosophy and centre that best suits their child’s personality and needs, as well as their own preferences.

Incorporating show homes in your planning process There are many things to think about when you’re considering building a new home.
Browsing show homes is a fantastic way to get you thinking about practicalities, needs, aesthetics and your wish list! Here are a few consideration’s to help spark your planning process. • What is your exterior style? What kind of homes do you like? Look around and take a mental note of what you are drawn to most. • What kind of exterior materials do you like? Once you’ve worked out the look you like, research what materials are available and find out about durability. • How will you use your house? It’s important to most people to have a good indoor/outdoor flow and attractive, sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your home in various seasons. • Landscaping is important. Look around and consider what you like and don’t like. Are you a structured formal garden type or do you like a contemporary native style? • Sustainability and future-proofing
aren’t just buzzwords anymore. It’s very important for your new home to be environmentally friendly. Research insulation requirements, solar hot water heating, ventilation options and new technology to ensure your home will be affordable to run. • Interior décor is really exciting. This is where show homes can really help you get to know current trends, colours, beautiful furnishings and furniture. Collect home magazines and figure out what you’d love to emulate. • Also, pause to give thought to architectural components inside. Do you remember a raised ceiling? What kind of finishing do top homes use and which styles are you drawn to? • Heating is also a consideration. Have a look at what show homes are offering. • Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show homes give you insight into the latest styles, materials and storage facilities available. • Bathrooms are another big component. They need to be as luxurious as you can make them, so start dreaming.
