4 NEWS Ashburton Guardian Friday, May 21, 2021 Property revaluations kick off Commercial, industrial, and farming property owners in the Ashburton District are being invited to complete a property information survey, as an independent company, Quotable Value (QV), be- gins rating revaluations for the district. QV, who is completing the revaluation on behalf of the Ashburton District Council, has sent letters to property owners with details about the survey, and responses are welcome until June 18. Council business support group manager, Paul Brake, said information collected in the survey will be used to determine a property’s value as accu- rately as possible. “Urban property information is typically stored in council records in the form of building or re- source consents, but for farms or commercial and industrial properties, the breadth of improvements may not necessarily be captured in this way,” Brake said. “That is why we need this information to be sub- mitted. “The online survey is a quick and easy way for QV Ashburton County Lions (from left) Jeannette Early, Maria McAnulty, and Nicki Kelly are part of the committee that will be organising the to collect this data, and we encourage all property Lions’ Stars In Their Eyes event.

In brief First guests There’s a double milestone for former Ashburton residents Anna and Rob Aitken in Rarotonga today. They’ll receive their first guests in nearly 15 months and they are scheduled to receive the Pfizer vaccine jab. Since the New Zealand travel bubble was extended to the Cook Islands, the Aitkens have had a couple of extra days to prepare, but now the first guests arrive at their Rarotonga Daydreamer Resort today. They’ve expressed a “great sense of relief” with the first tourists touching down and are even prepared to “wait a bit longer for our morning coffee from our local cafe”. Banking donations The Cancer Society of New Zealand president is encouraging traditional donors to visit their local bank and be upskilled in electronic banking. Ashburton’s Alister Argyle is concerned for the Cancer Society and other charities that depend on donations because many contributors are unfamiliar with electronic banking. “We’ve had people from throughout New Zealand who’ve expressed concern they can’t make donations because they’re being denied the opportunity to write cheques,” Argyle said. “I fear the wonderful support the Cancer Record energy use Society receives won’t be reflected in the level of gifting that we depend on.” He said banks are willing to make the transfer for them and upskill them in electronic banking. since start of century Guest speaker New Zealand’s highest ranked expert in osteoarthritis is the guest of the University EA Networks delivered more ing but access to irrigation wa- one third of typical averages, “We just work hard and of The Third Age (U3A) in Ashburton energy to Mid Canterbury us- ter is mitigating the worst ef- have stressed those areas that make the best decisions we next Tuesday.
