In 1889, he leased land in Otipua and moved to that locality a few kilometres inland from Pareora.〔 Anstey was active with the Canterbury Farmers' Cooperative Association and eventually became its director, and was for several years on the board of the Pareora School Committee, including three years as chairperson. He became a Justice of the Peace in 1897.〔 He was on the Timaru Borough Council, belonged to the South Canterbury Power Board from its beginning, and was a member of the Chamber of Commerce for two decades.〔
