Should Selwyn consider a relocatable structure to create a covered sports ground at Rolleston's Foster Park?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Selwyn district could have its own covered sports ground before Christchurch if a proposed plan proceeds.

Leeston landscape architect Geraint Howells, of Creative Intentions, told the Selwyn District Council's long term plan hearings last week that a new covered sports ground could be built at Rolleston's Foster Park using a low-cost, long-lasting and relocatable aluminium and canvas structure.

The council has proposed developing the park further from this year and a building a covered sports hub for the town in 2020-21. Howells' idea, using a structure from a company named Sprung, could take just weeks to build.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
