‘over it’ 

• By Louis Day 

THE CITY council has 

apologised for failing to prevent 

Marriner St in Sumner from 

flooding after the heavy rainfall 

last week. 

The apology comes after the 

city council promised action to 

prevent further 

flooding on 

the street last 

year. In May 

last year, a 

city council 

spokesperson 

told Bay 

Harbour News 

Darrell 

Latham 

the drain 

outlet, which 

is located on 

Scarborough Beach, would be 

cleared prior to future weather 

events. 

However, the drain was not 

cleared on Monday last week, 

which resulted in the flooding. 

“Unfortunately, the action 

plan was not followed correctly 

for the Marriner St pipe outlet 

due to a miscommunication 

between the city council and 

the contractor, for which we are 

sorry,” said city council land

drainage operations team leader 

Mark Mullen. 

Marriner St resident Rob 

O’Neill said the flooding has 

been a problem for the past 24 

years. “We are just over it. They 

have promised to address it for 

as long as I can remember. It is 

a bit of a joke now, a joke that is 

not funny,” he said. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote

Darrell Latham labelled the 

city council’s inability to carry 

out its own action plan as 

“embarrassing.” •Turn to page 8

YOU CAN see why Marriner St residents 

continue to get hacked off when heavy rain 

comes (see page 1). 

The city council says keeping a drain 

outlet on Scarborough Beach clear is the 

key to stopping flooding on the street. 

Last week when the downpour came it flooded. Apparently 

there was “miscommunication” between council staff and the 

contractor which cleans the drains when weather forecasters say 

it is going to rain. 

That’s not much consolation for the long suffering residents of 

Marriner St, who say the problem has been going on for years. 

Let’s see what happens the next time it rains. 

Miscommunication may not be an acceptable reason.

Pay plan for board members 


CITY COUNCILLORS could 

face a financial dilemma this 

year: Sacrifice some of their 

salary for lower paid community 

board members. 

The Remuneration Authority, 

which sets 

the pay of city 

councillors and 

community 

board members, 

said if the city 

council wished 

Andrew 

Turner 

Sara 

Templeton 

to increase community 

board 

remuneration 

following the 

October 12 

elections, it 

would have to 

come from the 

money allocated 

towards the 

salaries of city 

councillors. 

After the elections, 

councils 

around New 

Zealand will allocate their governance 

pools, deciding on the 

salaries of city councillors and if 

any money from the pool will be 

put aside for community board 

members. 

Deputy Mayor and Banks 

Peninsula Ward city councillor 

LOW PAY: Banks Peninsula Community Board member John 

McLister is not running in the local body elections because of 

concerns over money and time. 

Andrew Turner, who is paid 

$118,220, said he would support 

a decision to sacrifice the salaries 

of city councillors to supplement 

the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board. 

“I think the level of pay for the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board is not adequate and is certainly 

out of line when compared 

to other city boards,” he said. 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton, who is paid 

$102,400, said she would also be 

open to city councillor salaries 

being used to better remunerate 

the board. She is concerned the 

current model was preventing 

people from running for community 

boards. 

“We need to enable a wide 

range of people to stand for our 

community boards, not just 

in Banks Peninsula but across 

the city, part of that is better 

remuneration,” she said. 

Four members of the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

told the Bay Harbour News they 

may not stand in the local body 

elections due to concerns over 

the money they receive and the 

time pressures they face. 

Banks Peninsula board members 

– excluding the chairwoman 

and city councillors – currently 

receive $9670 a year. That is 

less than half the $24,098 paid 

to Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board members. 

Banks Peninsula chairwoman 

Pam Richardson is paid $19,342, 

while Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

chairman Mike Mora ($48,196). 

The current remuneration 

model is set by population, so 

boards with larger populations 

get better remuneration. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member John McLister 

said the remuneration board 

members received was 

“ridiculously low” for the 

amount of work they have to do. 

“I will not run because 

financially, it is harmful,” he 

said. “I don’t think we do less 

than the inner city community 

boards and I don’t think they 

have the complex issues that we 

have.”

NEW CHANGING ROOM 

A new changing facility has been 

proposed for Sumner Beach. The 

planned site for the facility is on 

The Esplanade, near the existing 

toilet block. It will be made from 

stainless steel and will have 

four separate changing cubicles 

with a rubber mat floor. Public 

submissions close on May 27 and 

can be made on the city council’s 

Have Your Say page. 

PLAN APPROVED 

The landscape plan for Scott 

Park has been approved by the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board. The plan 

will be implemented in stages 

as funding becomes available. 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton said the board 

was looking forward to tidying 

up the park for all groups and 

members of the public who go 

there. 

SUMNER CAR FIRE 

Firefighters were called to a car 

fire at St Leonards Square in 

Sumner on Monday morning. 

Firefighters attended the fire at 

about 3am and took 3min to put 

it out. No one was in the car. 

The cause of the fire is unknown 

and has been referred to police. 

Firefighters were alerted to the 

fire after a neighbour heard a loud 

bang and saw the Mazda station 

wagon ablaze.

Ship has sailed on saving Kia Ora 


A BADLY damaged historic 

racing yacht stranded in 

Lyttelton will not be 

restored. 

The 121-year-old Kia Ora, 

which has been sitting on 

Lyttelton Port Company land for 

more than 20 years on the corner 

of Norwich Quay and Donald St, 

will be destroyed. 

LPC planned to dispose of the 

vessel unless the owner came 

forward and agreed to pay for its 

removal. 

Family members of Robert 

Bryson, the last owner of the 

boat, have decided not to remove 

it because of its poor condition. 

They have salvaged pieces of it as 

mementoes instead. 

Ian Knewstubb, former 

chairman of the now-defunct 

Norwich Quay Historic Precinct 

Society, said the vessel was of 

high significance. 

“A boat built not long after the 

Kia Ora called The Rainbow in 

Auckland has just been restored 

and they spent $800,000 on 

it. That is how these boats are 

looked upon in other parts of the 

country. Down here it is different, 

I don’t think anyone gives a 

hoot about maritime heritage in 

Canterbury,” he said. 

The Kia Ora was sunk in the 

1960s and was moved by Mr 

Bryson to a vacant section in 

Locksley Ave, Dallington. 

It was then gifted to the 

Norwich Quay Historic Precinct 

Society and relocated to its 

current location where it has 

deteriorated to a condition 

DECAY: The Kia Ora vessel will not be restored to its prime condition like in 1900, after 

sitting on Lyttelton Port Company land for more than 20 years. 

beyond repair. 

Mr Bryson’s granddaughter 

Emma Graham said the Kia Ora 

was well past the point of saving. 

“It was borderline 20 years 

ago, so the ship has sailed so to 

speak,” she said. 

“I would love to have that 

boat fixed and going again, 

but it is just beyond repair. My 

grandfather should have fixed 

it all those years ago, but he had 

so many other projects and also 

heart problems to deal with.” 

LPC port services and security 

manager Tony Simpson saw the 

boat as a potential risk to the 

public. 

“Our first step was to place 

fencing around the Kia Ora, but 

we believe this is an inadequate 

long-term option to mitigate the 

risk, as the stability of the way it 

is propped up and the condition 

of the hull itself led us to believe 

that it could collapse,” he said. 

The vessel was designed by 

More time to make seaplane submissions 


THE PUBLIC now have until 

the end of the month to make a 

submission on the plan to bring 

seaplanes to Lyttelton Harbour. 

Submissions were initially due 

by April 30 but the Civil Aviation 

Authority has extended the 

deadline out to May 31. 

The authority is seeking 

feedback on Rangiora-based 

company Peninsula Air 

Ltd’s plan to construct a 

waterdrome in Lyttelton 

Harbour. 

The 1km runway 

would be located 

between Rapaki and 

Quail Island and provide 

seaplanes with an area 

to take off and land. 

One of Peninsula Air 

Ltd’s directors Mark Christensen 

Mark 

Christensen 

told Bay Harbour News the 

seaplanes would be used to 

take people on scenic tours 

of the peninsula. 

“It is still very early 

days, but we are thinking 

about providing a service 

that would complement 

all the other tourist 

operations in the 

peninsula,” he said. 

Mr Christensen hopes the 

project will emulate the Sydney 

seaplanes experience. 

“In concept, it is a similar 

operation to the Sydney one 

involving a seaplane that takes 

people on scenic flights,” he said. 

“If you look at the Sydney 

operation, they also deliver 

people to tourist destinations as 

well.” 

Public submissions can be sent 

to: aerodromes@caa.govt.nz 

Professor RJ Scott, head of 

Canterbury College’s engineering 

school and cousin of Antarctic 

explorer Captain Robert Falcon

The Kia Ora would go on to 

win the annual regatta in 1900 

against staunch opposition, such 

as The Rainbow.

WILD: Peacocks in Lyttelton are being relocated to protect rare geckos and 

skinks. 

Peacocks moved after 

threat to shoot them 


WILD PEACOCKS are 

being relocated from part 

of Lyttelton to stop them 

eating endangered geckos 

and skinks. 

The move comes after a 

farmer sent her 

neighbour, Janelle 

Wills, a legal letter 

stating she would 

shoot the peacocks 

which entered her 

property. 

The farmer, 

who has declined 

to be named, 

said the peacocks 

eat geckos and 

skinks on her 

property. 

Miss Wills feeds the 

wild peacocks and can 

sometimes have up to 30 

around her house. 

She said she was 

“heartbroken” to have 

to relocate them and 

“disgusted” the farmer had 

plans to eat them. 

“They climb around my 

house and look through 

Anita 

Spencer 

my windows at me and, as 

soon as I leave my house, 

they follow me. It’s going 

to be heartbreaking to see 

them go,” she said. 

The farmer’s legal 

letter stated any peacock 

which wanders onto 

private property is 

considered to be 

trespassing under 

the Impounding Act 

and is permitted to 

be shot. 

She also told Bay 

Harbour News: “I 

certainly hope to 

eat one and provide 

meat to several 

people.” 

“If I just had sheep 

it would not matter but 

with these other creatures 

[skinks and geckos] it 

makes for a very different 

situation. It is like a 

peacock eating a diamond 

and that diamond is of 

value to New Zealand, it is 

not just me that is losing 

out.” 

Department of 

Conservation senior 

biodiversity ranger Anita 

Spencer said peacocks 

posed a potential threat to 

skinks and geckos. 

“Peacocks have wide 

diet preferences and are 

interested in anything that 

moves. Overseas they eat 

lizards, rodents and snakes, 

so they could potentially 

eat a threatened lizard if 

they came across one,” she 

said. Ms Spencer confirmed 

there were rare geckos and 

skinks in the area. 

“We know there are three 

threatened lizard species 

in the area and we have 

been told by the property 

owner two of those species 

can be found on her land. 

DOC hasn’t carried out any 

formal surveys to confirm 

this, but we understand a 

herpetologist has visited 

the property and identified 

the lizards.” 

Miss Wills said the 

peacocks are being 

relocated throughout the 

Canterbury region with the 

help of Serendipity Animal 

Rescue.

Chasing the Dream 

By Shaun Wallace 

Born on the 2nd of June 1960 to Jamaican parents, Shaun is a 

Londoner born and bred, and has been a devoted Chelsea fan 

since 1967. From the age of 12, Shaun knew he wanted to be 

a barrister and was determined to make it. Despite one or two 

setbacks along the way, he finally managed to fulfil his childhood 

ambition when he was called to the bar in November 1984. 

He has been a Criminal Defence Advocate now for nearly 34 

years, and has worked tirelessly on cases ranging from murder 

to money laundering to firearms to drug trafficking. Shaun has 

also regularly appeared on British television quiz shows such 

as Fifteen-To-One, The Weakest Link, Greed, and Are You an 

Egghead?. Shaun catapulted to national prominence and recognition when, on the 5th 

December 2004, he became the first black person to win the BBC’s renowned Mastermind. 

Since 2009, he has become a household name, regularly appearing as The Dark Destroyer 

on the smash ITV hit teatime quiz show, The Chase. 

The Butterfly Room 

By Lucinda riley 

Posy Montague is approaching her seventieth birthday. Still living 

in her beautiful family home, Admiral House, set in the glorious 

Suffolk countryside where she spent her own idyllic childhood 

catching butterflies with her beloved father, and raised her own 

children, Posy knows she must make an agonising decision. 

Despite the memories the house holds, and the exquisite garden 

she has spent twenty-five years creating, the house is crumbling 

around her, and Posy knows the time has come to sell it. 

Then a face appears from the past - Freddie, her first love, who 

abandoned her and left her heartbroken fifty years ago. Already 

struggling to cope with her son Sam’s inept business dealings, 

and the sudden reappearance of her younger son Nick after ten years in Australia, Posy 

is reluctant to trust in Freddie’s renewed affection. And unbeknown to Posy, Freddie - and 

Admiral House - have a devastating secret to reveal.

DIMMED: Lights in the Lyttelton Harbour have been reduced in intensity after

Turning down the lights 


LIGHTING IN Lyttelton

The red and green spar

The lights were put in

a step in the right

“What we had initially

LPC strategic engagement

said they were currently 

working towards a solution 

for the lead lights. 

“We tried turning those

Drones cause more issues 


DRONES ARE continuing 

to be a problem in the Bay 

Harbour News area. 

Lyttelton resident 

Sandra Cunningham was 

watching television in her 

living room recently when 

a drone began hovering 

above her porch at about 

9pm. 

“The incident was 

disturbing as it hovered 

there, less than 10ft (3m) 

above my head. It remained 

motionless for nearly 1min. 

I had the creepy feeling that 

I was being watched,” she 

said. 

It comes after a 

low-flying drone was 

suspected of spying on 

teenage girls just after 

Christmas last year. 

The drone was seen 

hovering over Whero Ave, 

Diamond Harbour, about 

6.30pm on December 27. 

Anna Clinch, 14, was in 

a swimming pool with a 

teenage friend, when she 

saw the drone. 

She believed it was being 

used to spy on them. 

Anna said the drone was 

flying near power lines. 

“It just hovered above 

the pool while we were 

swimming for about 

30sec and we were really 

concerned about it,” she 

said. 

“We moved out of the 

way because we thought 

it was a bit bizarre and 

went inside. And the drone 

continued to fly back and 

forth over the house a 

couple of times [before 

leaving].” 

The Civil Aviation 

Authority states drone 

operators must have 

consent from the owner of 

the property they want to 

fly over. 

The CAA does not 

investigate breaches of 

privacy, and investigations 

are dealt with by police.

Apology over 

flooding in 

Sumner 

•From page 1 

Dr Latham said this was 

one of a series of flooding 

events since the city council 

formulated an action plan last 

year. 

“The current approach 

of manually clearing beach 

drainage outlets is costing 

ratepayers thousands of 

dollars and it appears to be 

not working particularly well 

because drainage outlets are 

buried in sand or they cannot 

be located. This approach is 

not sustainable and given the 

recent storm event, it is now 

time for the city council to 

acknowledge that the current 

methodology is not effective 

and to investigate a more 

effective plan of action and 

solution to this problem,” he 

said. 

The city council is currently 

spending $20,000 a year to 

keep the drains clear prior to 

weather events. 

Mr Mullen said it is 

investigating whether the 

beach level is likely to fall, 

meaning sand is less likely 

to block drains, or whether 

longer-term solutions may be 

necessary.

Skepticism over berth benefits 


LYTTELTON business owners 

are not convinced over the 

economic benefits the new cruise 

berth will bring. 

It was announced last week the 

Lyttelton Port Company’s new 

cruise berth is scheduled to open 

in November next year. 

While smaller vessels 

have continued to visit, 

large cruise vessels have been 

unable to berth at Lyttelton Port 

since the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

With the new cruise berth in 

place, LPC will be able to 

welcome cruise vessels which 

cater for more than 5000 

passengers and 2000 staff. 

However, business owners are 

concerned tourists will bypass 

the port town and go directly 

into the central city. 

“I don’t know if it will have 

any impact because the ones that 

currently come, they just ship 

everyone to town anyway. On 

days when cruise ships come we 

notice no difference in business,” 

said Shroom Room owner Koryn 

Hope. 

Eruption Brewing co-owner 

Steve Leftly said cruise ships 

currently brought little to his 

business. 

“We have only been exposed 

BIG PLANS: 3D still images of what the completed cruise berth will look like when it opens in 

November next year. 

to the smaller ones [cruise ships] 

and they only tend to have a 

handful of people that actually 

come into Lyttelton,” he said. 

ChristchurchNZ destination 

development manager Anton 

Wilke said it was working on a 

bus schedule that would benefit 

the local economy. 

“There is ongoing liaison 

between ChristchurchNZ and 

LPC with regard to how the 

transfers could look and how 

they might pan out, the details 

of that are not nailed down at 

this point but we are certainly 

very conscious of the needs of the 

Lyttelton community,” Mr Wilke 

said. 

Lyttelton Coffee Company 


owner Stephen Mateer was more 

concerned about the impact the 

larger cruise ships would have on 

the environment than what they 

would do for his business. 

“It is going to do a good job of 

blocking my view of Quail Island 

from my house,” he said.

SNACK: Vittoria shares a post-mushroom afternoon tea with Loki. 

Fungus freak-out 

AFTER NEARLY six 

months in the role I’m 

getting pretty confident, 

but last week I had a major 

freak-out which brought 

me back to earth. 

Like any toddler, Vittoria 

is quick on her feet. Not like 

regular quick mind you, 

any adult can smash a toddler 

in a foot race. 

Nah, toddlers have a 

magic power which lets 

them teleport to wherever 

you don’t want them as 

soon as their parents’ eyes 

are off them. 

Last Tuesday, I looked 

away for a second and 

she was standing on the 

TV cabinet (cue lounge 

rearrangement). 

That was not the worst 

one though. Recently, I 

turned away to check my 

phone as we were playing 

out front and before I knew 

it she had grabbed up a 

mushroom from the bunch 

growing near the bins and 

shoved it in her wee gob. 

I’m no botanist – and I 

don’t even know if botanists 

know about mushrooms – so 

I had zero clue what it was. 

All I could think about 

was that it could be poisonous. 

So I fished out what I 

could of the mushroom and 

washed her mouth out. Vittoria 

was not impressed. 

Potential futures rushed 

through my mind; bolting to 

the emergency room, Vittoria 

foaming from the mouth, 

her in a hospital bed. 

So I rang the poison 

hotline for the first time in 

my life and was happy to be 

calmed, reassured and have 

signs to keep watch for. 

I kept a sample of the 

mushrooms and made 

the classic “don’t worry, 

Vittoria’s okay” phone call 

to Laura. An hour later, 

through some research, I 

found out the mushroom 

was an edible species. 

The relief that Vittoria 

was actually going to be fine 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

had another element to it. 

I felt like if she had 

actually been sick from the 

mushroom, or needed to go 

the hospital, it would prove 

that I was a bad parent and 

incapable of looking after 

her on my own. 

It was on my watch. 

“What would people 

think?” actually went 

through my head even 

though I feel I took all the 

right steps in the situation. 

As the TV cabinet episode 

proves, I didn’t quite 

learn my lesson. 

Now I just have all of the 

regular parenting worries to 

deal with. Easy.

Wastewater overhaul 

AKAROA’S ageing 

wastewater infrastructure 

is set to be overhauled. 

City council senior 

project manager Kylie 

Hills said the work which 

includes wastewater main 

replacement, inspections 

and pipe repairs, will be 

disruptive but essential. 

He said parts of the 

town’s wastewater pipes 

nearing the end of their 

expected service life. 

“To minimise the impact 

of the disruption, we have 

waited until the cruise ship 

season is over and until 

after Easter,” he said. 

There are several aspects 

to the work, which centres 

on reducing the amount of 

extra water getting into the 

wastewater system through 

ingress and infiltration 

from groundwater, roof 

gutters and downpipes 

illegally connected to the 

network (down pipes are 

supposed to be connected 

to the stormwater system 

or roadside kerbs) and 

from private gully traps 

that receive surface water 

runoff. 

Last year the city council 

completed a survey of 

the Akaroa wastewater 

network using distributed 

temperature sensing. 

This identifies where 

colder groundwater 

and rainwater has been 

entering the network 

and where pipe repairs 

or replacements may be 

needed. 

“The survey showed that 

ingress and infiltration 

makes up about 40 per cent 

of the annual volume of 

wastewater reaching the 

Beach Rd treatment plant,” 

he said. 

“That’s much higher 

than we would like, 

and this work aims to 

reduce the volume of 

wastewater from Akaroa 

and improve the quality 

of treated wastewater 

being discharged into the 

harbour. It will also reduce 

the size and cost of the new 

disposal system, whichever 

option is chosen.”

Rāpaki marks 150 years 

RĀPAKI CHURCH celebrated 

its 150th anniversary on 

Saturday. 

More than 200 people 

gathered for a special service 

to commemorate the historic 

church, which opened in 

1869. 

Matua Douglas Couch, who 

grew up in Rāpaki during the 

1930s and 40s, said the church 

was a central meeting point for 

the community in those days. 

“We used to go there when 

the church bell rang. Sometimes 

we were down on the beach and 

wouldn’t hear the bell and if you 

got home at dinner and hadn’t 

been to church, you’d be in 

trouble,” he said. 

The small weatherboard 

church, which can hold 80 

people, has recently undergone a 

significant restoration. 

The church was closed 

following the earthquakes and 

the restoration work began last 

year after funding was received. 

The restoration included 

repairs to the south sanctuary 

wall as well as the replacement of 

the rotten main window 

with a replica of an earlier 

window based on an old 

photograph. 

The steeple was rebuilt 

with a shingle finish, which is 

likely to be what the original

The surrounding fence has

on “minimum intervention”

in this building, 

there might be a 

Harry 

Stronach 

department with 

a door that says 

sensible planning 

department, 

well if there is there is nobody at 

home,” he said to city councillors. 

“The main street of Akaroa, 

Rue Lavaud, is not wide enough 

for two way traffic you have to 

weave around the parked cars 

and some days there are over 40 

tourist buses trying to use it as a 

highway.” 

A survey conducted by the 

association in March found that 

69 per cent of respondents felt the 

number of cruise ships should be 

limited, with the average 

number proposed being 40 per 

year – less than half of the 92 

ships, which stopped in Akaroa 

during the 2018-19 season. 

Mr Stronach was concerned 

about the cruise ship schedule for 

the coming season. 

“Look at the plan for the next 

Christmas and New Year period, 

over that time normally the town 

is full anyway. What is scheduled 

for this coming year is an 

additional 27,000 passengers over 

that period.” 

Deputy Mayor and Banks 


CROWDED: Ninety-two cruise ships and more than 198,000 

passengers visited Akaroa over the course of last season. 

Peninsula Ward city councillor 

Andrew Turner told Bay Harbour 

News the city council needed 

to look at better management 

strategies for future cruise ship 

seasons. 

“The community have had 

problems when Akaroa is 

absolutely full to the seams and 

we know that the infrastructure 

fails to cope when this happens, 

whether that be with toilets or 

roads,” he said.

‘Bedlam’ breaks out after upset 

• By Gordon Findlater 

FIVE STRAIGHT losses to 

start the season were quickly 

forgotten when Sumner 

celebrated a historic win over 

four-time defending metro rugby 

champions Lincoln University. 

With 20min remaining in 

the match on Saturday, Sumner 

looked destined for their sixth 

consecutive defeat. However, 

when they kicked the ball into 

touch at fulltime 

to secure 

the 21-19 

upset win, St 

Leonards Park 

was sent into 

ecstasy.

. . . as the 

game went on 

the old boys 

just got rowdier and rowdier. 

Like everyone, I think they 

were just so stoked for the boys 

because we’ve copped a fair bit of 

flack, but rightly so,” said coach 

Martin Dodgson. 

Coming into the home 

match, many people would have 

written the winless Sumner 

off against the competition 

leaders. However, a nothingto-lose 

mentality after failing 

to gain a result in the opening 

five matches this season helped 

the wave rip through Lincoln 

University. 

SPORT 

They received a boost on 

Tuesday when Crusaders coach 

and staunch Sumner supporter 

Scott Robertson lent a hand at 

their training session.

going to absolutely fizz because

went manic,” said Dodgson. 

The intensity carried over 

into Thursday’s training and on 

Saturday Dodgson said their 

dominance in contact helped 

them pull off the upset. 

The team’s celebrations went 

well into the early evening in the 

changing rooms. A number of 

them then continued at a player’s

“(Maddock) actually said 

during the week, ‘by the way, 

don’t bother showing up if you 

get smashed by 70 because I 

don’t want you to be the downer 

at the party’,” he said. 

Sumner conceded a try 

with 20min remaining and 

found themselves behind 19-7. 

However, Sumner scored from 

the restart, courtesy of an 

Alistair Crossdale intercept on 

halfway. 

With 5min to play, Sumner 

No 8 Mathew Tuala made a 

break from his own 40m line to 

Lincoln University’s 22m line. 

The ball was then spun wide to 

Crossdale, who burned past his 

defender to score and level the 

game 19-19. 

Fullback Eiji Kaneda then held 

his nerve to kick the conversion 

and give Sumner a 21-19 lead. 

With just 3min to play, 

Sumner successfully held 

possession, before winning a 

scrum penalty on full-time to 

take the win. 

With five games in the first 

phase of the competition 

remaining, Sumner are still well 

outside of top six contention. But 

they will be looking for a strong 

run before the competition is 

split into a top and bottom six. 

On Saturday, Sumner will 

travel to Ilam Fields to play 

bottom-of-the-table Canterbury 

University at 2.45pm.

Small Mazda SUV has further appeal 

WHEN MAZDA launched its 

CX-3 crossover/sport utility 

vehicle in New Zealand four years 

ago, I was so smitten with it I 

described it as being one of the 

company’s finest vehicles, it was 

certainly one of my best drives for 

2015. 

Four years down the track, not 

a lot has changed, there’s now an 

upgraded CX-3 and it still exudes 

the feel and vigour that made 

the first generation model so 

memorable, only more so. 

Like before, the CX-3 lands in 

six grades with four-wheel-drive 

options along the way. All share 

the same naturally aspirated 

2-litre engine, but there is now 

the option of two high grade 

models Limited and Takami, 

the latter is a range of high 

grade models that are filtering 

all through the Mazda line-up, 

and I can report from previous 

experience with Takami grade 

it is something that gives those 

models special appeal. 

All that aside, the CX-3 this 

evaluation focuses on is a midspec 

front-drive GSX and it lists 

at $36,695. For the record, the 

entry-level GLX sits at $31,995, 

while the Takami tops the range 

at $41,695. 

Even in GSX form the CX-3 

wants for little, it has all of 

the ingredients that make you 

feel comfortable, and there is 

enough gadgetry to keep the 

technophile happy. Bear in mind 

that in this specification it also 

gets an i-Activesense safety 

upgrade which includes blind 

spot monitoring, traffic sign 

recognition, smart city brake 

support reverse and radar cruise 

control. Mazda’s safety suite of 

technologies easily qualifies for 

a five-star Australasian New Car 

Assessment program rating. 

While I consider the CX-3 to be 

MAZDA CX-3: Two and four-wheel-drive options. 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

a true SUV, it is small and its size 

won’t appeal to everyone, it is a bit 

tight in the rear seating area but 

for me that’s never been an issue, 

the car feels so right to drive, and 

for a small family it will easily 

suffice as it makes good use of its 

compact proportions. There is 

also a purposeful amount of rear 

cargo space – according to Mazda 

– 264-litres to 1174-litres. 

What I like most about the 

CX-3 is its normality. Everything 

is traditional, there are no tricks 

with the engine and the gearbox 

is a torque converter automatic. 

While it appears simple on the 

surface, you also have to take 

into account that the driveline 

incorporates Mazda’s SkyActive 

technology which promotes 

economical fuel usage without 

compromise. 

This has been the direction 

Mazda has largely focused on 

as a car maker; it isn’t hugely 

into hybrids or electric vehicles, 

but it simply makes internal 

combustion engines work with 

amazing efficiency. 

As a result, the CX-3 is rated 

with a 6.3-litre per 100km 

(45mpg) combined cycle fuel 

usage figure and that is easily 

achievable. Without trying, 

the fuel usage reading on 

the evaluation car’s digital 

display was constantly listing 

around 7l/100km (40mpg). At 

100km/h the engine is relaxed 

(2100rpm), sipping fuel at the 

rate of just 4.5l/100km (63mpg) 

instantaneously. 

If you think this economy 

comes at the expense of 

performance you need not be 

worried, Mazda claim power 

outputs of 110kW and 195Nm 

from the 1998cc engine. 

The CX-3 is free-revving and 

spirited, it’s lively to drive, and 

because it isn’t carrying too much 

weight (1297kg) it feels agile and 

nimble, and will return a 9sec 

standstill to 100km/h acceleration 

time. 

Along with the solid response 

from under the bonnet, the 

CX-3 is a hoot when corners 

arrive. It steers with beautiful feel 

and feedback, it can be driven 

enthusiastically such is its poise 

and composure, all of the time the 

suspension provides occupants 

with a comfortable, controlled 

• Price – Mazda CX-3 GSX, 

$36,695 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4275mm; width, 1765mm; 

height, 1535mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1998cc, 110kW, 

195Nm, six-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.3l/100km 

ride as well as absorbing 

the road undulations without 

upsetting steering response, nor 

body balance. 

If you weigh up all of these 

ingredients, the CX-3 is a lot 

more than meets the eye. It is 

built with all of the fun factor that 

is Mazda’s ideology, and that is 

why I rate it so highly as a driver’s 

car, it is so involving. 

It is also well appointed, and 

given this is the CX-3’s second 

makeover it wants for nothing 

inside. GSX buyers have the 

choice of a leatherette/cloth trim 

or leather for an extra $1600. 

Elsewhere there is keyless entry 

and ignition, satellite navigation, 

intuitive display screen readouts, 

sport drive mode and my 

favourite inclusion, the standard 

fitment of a CD player, which is 

great for us old dinosaurs who 

haven’t fully adapted to the new 

digital music technology. 

I’ve written many times in 

recent reviews about the quality 

of product that is coming out of 

Mazda factories, the upgraded 

CX-3 would be very much a 

preferable choice, and if I do get 

the chance to buy a new car to 

see me through my impending 

retirement, then something out of 

this Japanese stable will be right at 

the forefront of any decision.

Tucked privately away behind a fence, there 

is much on offer here. As you would expect 

from a quality home like this, the indoor/ 

outdoor flow has been maximised to take 

advantage of the spacious decks, entertaining 

area and easy-care gardens. 

With enough space to easily accommodate 

the family, there is a clean and contemporary 

living area plus a well-appointed kitchen with 

ample scullery storage. Boasting four double 

bedrooms with built in robes, the master suite 

enjoys an ensuite with double shower to avoid 

the morning rush! With every consideration 

for comfort, the high spec double glazing, 

hydronic under floor heating and extra thick 

walls will keep you and your little ones toasty 

warm throughout the colder months. 

Of course living so near the sea, you 

will probably have plenty of toys to store! 

So whether it’s a home for your kayak, 

surfboards or boat that you are looking for - 

this is the place for you! With an extra large 

double garage, plus a spacious workshop/ 

studio and ample off street parking this is an 

outstandingly practical property. 

As appealing as the home itself is, the 

location is the grand slam! Just a minute or 

two to walk to the beach & village, you can 

stroll down for a surf in the morning, a coffee 

in the afternoon and a beer in the evening 

(or vice versa - who are we to judge?!). The 

schools, parks and bustling village are just 

some of the reasons that this is such a well 

loved community. 

Our vendors have loved this home but 

it’s now time for them to work their magic 

on another project, so this is a fantastic 

opportunity to secure your family’s future.
